CONFESSION (original) (raw)

| | OOC: I know a lot of people have trouble when a post has long threads and lots of entries, so I am starting this second part. The Doctor is going to be battling some evol ZOMBIE WEEVILS here, in Confession! The ZOMBIE WEEVILS have fallen through a rift that is opened through an old confessional booth in the basement where UNSPEAKABLE ACTS ONCE OCCURRED, back when Confession was a church. The ZOMBIE WEEVILS have been all over the world, feasting on the bones and flesh of the dead, famous, famously dead and just plain weird. Can the Doctor, with the help or hindrance of others at the ball, save New York from the ZOMBIE WEEVILS? Only the Meta Halloween Gods can be sure.This can be meta, bendy time, in game or out. Play if you like, just jump in!The Doctor may, or may not, have had one or two too many banana daiquiris. He had a lovely conversation with a pretty goddess, and a bit of banter with a fallen angel, who would have put the Master to shame with his rude ways. But then, falling from heaven would certainly make anyone a bit rude, one would think.He was currently lying on one of the delightful bed table things, his head in the lap of a lady who swore that she was the sister of THE Lord Byron, reciting poems about her from memory, which only showed how brilliant he was, in the literary way, because women love poetry. You could travel across the universe, and all it took was a sonnet or a bit of poetic prose, and women would forget that you were wearing tights and quite shnockered on banana drinks, and they would pet your hair, which was quite pleasant. Really, he was quite comfortable, even in his Shakespearean garb. Ziyah entered Confession through the back. The lineup to get in through the front doors was insane; going down the street and wrapping around the block where the building was located. She wasn't nervous, but she wasn't calm either. Even after everything that had gone on in her life during the past few weeks, she was ready to storm New York's finest establishment with a vengence.Showing her staff ID to the backdoor security guy, he scanned down a list of employees and gave her a smile to go ahead. She could already feel the familiar rush of the nightlife begin to pulse through her body; a slow smile enveloping with each step she took until she passed the last door and into the main club area. Checking her watch, she had ten minutes to spare before her shift started, but Zee was ready now. New York was far from ready to call it a night, in fact, it was just waking up and they were thirsty. Closing Fenton's door behind him, Tea walked out into the main bar area with several folders in hand. Each held info packets for positions that he was about to hire for and various forms to fill out for the applicants. Who would have thought that he would be doing this type of work for the club. He was cool with it though, despite being up at the crap hour of nine a.m. . He had to expand his horizons somehow as he could not be a criminal each and every lifetime he would have, now could he.Armed with a triple espresso with thick cream and raw sugar, Tea looked this way and that out of habit before slapping down an ashtray that he had snagged from the VIP floor. Screw it, the club was closed for business except for interviews and shipments. They would come in at any minute now, those seeking employment would come rushing through ...well, he hoped not rushing. He was still trying to shake off the last vestiges of sleepiness. The last thing he wanted was to piss off Fenton by hiring those who would only be fired in seconds once they set to work. They needed experience, references, and attitude, as well as being able to take orders. In Two week's time, there will be an rp post for hiring. Please mind that the applicant must live in NYC or have a very good ability that enables them to tranpsort themselves to and from work. Yes, Public transportation and cars work in this manner, but I am also referring to the abilities that some muses do have.On that note: Tea has or will be by the time he posts the thread, the ability to hire. In the spirit of being fair, do not just assume you can do anything once hired. If you are hired as a bartender on the main floor, you most likely will not be traipsing up to the VIP area to bartend during work unless asked by Fenton, Ryan, or Tea.Employees days off are another matter entirely: This still will not entitle them to break company rules. In other words, no stealing, skimming, or bar fighting that doesn't include them getting in trouble for it, especially if they start it. Fenton's security is pretty top notch. It is highly unlikely that it will go unnoticed. If your character is simply trying to curb trouble, have them notify security,. As for writing security's actions, this isn't roadhouse, but the general rule applies to the public when the club is open to them.When not open, it is more of a private residence and God help the char that pisses Fenton's private security off. This is not to speak for Fenton character directly. Just an observance of past rp threads. If you wish for something on a grander scale, you must contact 2facedscoundrel to get permission to do anything above and beyond normal club stuff.Ex: Blowing up the VIP area, bringing the cops in to raid the place, or anything that would jeopardize the club as a whole.There will be several positions opening up:2 bartenders on the main floor2 security in main floor2bartenders on VIP level2 security on VIP level2 doormen : Responsible for NOT letting underage characters in. This is not negotiable. 18 to 20 is fine as long as the char provides a convincing fake id. No door man to be taking bribes please and thanks. They must be able to look at that id and go wow, it fooled even me. To my Knowledge. Underage of 18, is not allowed in community anyway. The silent owners, do correct me if I am wrong in this.That's it for now.Just follow basic rules of any bar as stated above EXCEPT for smoking is ALLOWED in the VIP area. Downstairs, everyone has to go outside like good boys and girls.Membership to the VIP level is open to all comm members for now, until something rp related gets them chucked to main floor or 86'ed/ Please bear in mind, if you have the power to 86 (security personnel) it should be cleared with the player in question. It is no sin if your character wants to stay on the main floor and lurk, and drink a few with friends and dance a little before pub crawling elsewhere.Also: Tea will not be rp-ing in every scene. There has to be trust somewhere that all employee chars can play on their own without a maintainer looking over their shoulder. Keep the ooc crap away as much as you can. Settle it outside the comm please and thanks.Please remember that this is also HOLY GROUND. If you are a HIghlander muse, you know what this means, if not, simply put, no violence vis head hunting. You char's sword will not be allowed past security and will be at the front door when they leaveMore to be added to this soon. Very few were around at the moment. Fenton was busy in one of the offices; the cleaning crew was on the third floor, making the private rooms immaculate for use later tonight when the club opened. There was enough open floor to practice on the main level and that's what he would do - practice until he couldn't think or move. He wasn't even sure if it was grief he was feeling. He like both guys. Wes' death was a sad loss, but Aidan's scared the crap out of him. The guy couldn't have been that much older than he was as far as the game was played. Stupid fucking game. While it came with benefits, the detriments were stacking up one by one. There was nothing he could do about those deaths. It just sucked that the kid could not have gone out the way their kind was supposed to and not by some random attackers'. Going through the stances first, he stretched long and hard. It would be hours before the place opened and he wasn't working more than the first two after in exchange for making sure that the cleaning crew came and left as needed. An hour later and sweating, he was going through each taught step with sword in hand, remembering how to hold and when to put some slack in the wrist. His first target, the large punching bag he had set up earlier that morning, was gutted within the next hour. He'd pay the cleaners extra when they came down the stairs. Right now, it just felt good to keep hacking and stabbing at things he couldn't control.Music:What's the Matter Man - Rollins Band Wes had just finished his shift, having worked earlier in the evening that was usual for him, and was staying for a bit to have a drink or two before heading home. It was his usual routine, because it helped him to calm down after a night of being on watch and taking care of the occasional bad element. As he settled down to the bar and ordered his ale, he turned around so he could check out the crowd and see if anyone he knew was around. He really did hate to drink alone if he could at all help it.Mood:restlessrestless I definitely needed a break from archeology. I guess it was time to rejoin the 21st Century for awhile. Friend of mine told me Confession was good for the soul, or at least the liver anyway. What the hell? I could use a night out. I looked around the room as I waited for the bartender to figure out just what I meant by "mead."{OOC: This is Quinnleigh's first chance to really socialize with the LJ world. Anyone is welcome to join in. Don't let the screenname fool you. She's actually quite nice, mostly. If you want to have a "private" word with her, you can reply to this thread.} ooc: This takes place sometime in the future when Aidan is a male again! Although it would be funny to get an Ewok drunk, Wes would be in trouble! Gus is welcome to come along as well! The more the merrier. Aidan and Wes had to push back their plans to get together with Shawn Spencer due to some…complications. However, those complications were straightened out and everything was back to normal. Well, as normal as it gets for the boys. They decided to meet Shawn at Confessions to have a few drinks, pick up some ladies, and talk about old school T.V. shows. This was bound to get interesting.Mood:gigglygiggly Confession was fully decked out for a Midsummer Night's Dream, even if it was late October. The club was full of bonfires, dark caves, acrobats, fortune tellers and green trees creating a forest of magic. The band was excellent, thanks to Tea's efforts.Fenton was dressed in a nobleman's full regalia, velvets and lace. He greeted guests, screened VIP's and kept an eye on the tight security. The lines out front were long, the velvet ropes holding back the masses while a priviliged few came through the special doors. Tea and Wes were given the night off, so that they could enjoy the festivities. Alexa was upstairs, behind the VIP bar, taking the shift for Nora, so that Nora could be with her son.There was a buffet of delicious finger foods, and champagne flowing for all. Tonight was a night for fun and relaxation, with just a bit of depravity, especially for those with access to the third floor rooms.OOC: Open to all muses, from all communities. The rules are simple. Muses must be over 21, or have damn good ID's and logical way to obtain them. No fighting, no OOC drama, no godmodding or otherwise bad behavior, or you will be booted. There will be a major storyline for several muses that will begin here, but continue elsewhere. Please let the management know if you are planning anything big at this event. Otherwise, just relax, have fun and party on.Tags:samhain 2007Location:ConfessionMood:calmcalmMusic:Club Mix Preparations were being started for the annual Samhain/Halloween Party that Confession would be having this year.The theme would be a pagan festival, with lots of trees, twinkling lights, caves and skimpy clothes for everyone. Fenton was sitting at a table near the dance floor, sketching ideas and jotting down notes. He had asked Tea to meet him there, because he wanted to bounce some ideas off him. Sipping tea from a mug, and putting his feet up on a chair, Fenton was relaxed and in a fairly good mood. The evening was coming to a close, for him anyway, in about an hour. Helping the barback with setting the newly washed dishes, back into their rightful places for the night, as most of them would now go unused, Tea stepped away from the bar and wandered closer to the front door area, leading away from the second floor that he worked, as part of his normal security rounds. He wasn't sure if his friend was going to make it, but Boris was put on the guest list just in case.Maybe just maybe, Fenton would be about still, so they could meet.Who knew, maybe Boris would get a kick out of his being all dressed up for work, when Tea's normal out of work clothes, was usually running a street theme.Music:Dj mix [Tag to Wes for a couple of rounds and then Fenton.]He should have stayed at Boris’.Forever.From the time he left all the way through to the following week, Terrence had been attacked no less than eight different times. Twice by one individual.....**( And all of them wanted his fucking head!Collapse )**Mood:stressedstressedMusic:Run Like Hell ~ Pink Floyd Adam tried to avoid nightclubs when he could. He didn’t see the need to be part of that crowd. The music was far too loud and it seemed as if every up and coming celebutant tried to make those types of places their second home. He really wished to avoid that since he simply didn’t have the patience for such things. He was just a guy who liked a simple beer in a simple bar.He had heard, however, that the bigger celebutants were either in rehab or in jail and so now would be the perfect time to go. He had been curious about this particular club because he had heard some interesting rumors about it and who runs it. He also knew Wes, the chief of security, and had…history… with him. It was time to get out and explore this place and see if this was a club that peaked his interest or simply bored him.Location:ConfessionMood:thirstythirstyMusic:Loud Music [Bar is now open. Just start a new thread]He had come out wearing one of the suits offered to him by George, in order to blend in. One thing he had requested was that it needed to be comfortable. He was not here to be a bouncer, but it was part of the duties to assist them if need be. He wasn't going to ruin a perfectly good fucking in season suit, in order to help beat the snot out of an upscale and disorderly drunk. He didn't tell her that in those certain terms, but the suits, when delivered, suited his needs and tastes perfectly.There had been a hold on his starting date, for whatever reason. That was ok by him. It had given Terrence plenty of time to get his outside ducks in a row. Things like warning his ladies away from this club and rearranging his other interests to blend in with his current respectable job.But today was the day. He checked his calendar even, to be sure.Looking ahead, he figured that must be Wes, he nodded to the guy and stepped up to the bar, waiting to be let behind after reintroductions.“Name’s Terrence. We chatted up a bit a few days ago, but let’s hope like shit, we can back each other up and skip right to the nicknames. You can call me Tea. Just let me know what areas to supervise as far as helping with security, where, my station is or of if it is here, with you. Oh, what’re our pour policies and do we do our own bar backing?”Music:Bob Sinclar ~ World Hold On (club mix) [RP for no_bedof_roses, i_know_my_way, lt_wes_janson ]_The king was in the counting houseCounting out his money..._He wasn't sure if that was how the nursery rhyme went, but Richard Fenton was in his office, going over the cash and receipts for the night with George. It was two fifty in the morning, and the bar had been closed for nearly an hour. Most of the staff had left, and Wes was still there checking the doors and helping Alexa lock down the last of the change drawers for the cash registers. There was no music, as Richard turned off the noise as soon as they called out last call for alcohol. It helped get the stragglers out and on their way, with the last few taxis taking those too drunk to drive to their homes, or at least to whatever bed they were spending the night in.George ran the last tapes, and then tucked the stacks of cash into the large black vinyl deposit bag. She had changed into her jeans and a tank top, planning on spending the night with Fenton, enjoying a bit of guilt and strings free sex. Fenton, for his part, only took off his tie, but kept on his sleek suit. His Mercedes was parked out by the door, in the deserted parking lot. He would offer Alexa a ride home, and as usual, the stubborn chit would refuse, saying she would rather walk. It amused George and annoyed Richard how that girl had no interest in his frequent passes.Speaking of no interest, Richard thought it was a damned shame that Wes Janson was married. Of course, marriage didn't usually deter the man, and the husband of his VIP security man was rather delectable looking, as well. But the husband was Immortal, so Richard used more discretion in his dealings with the man. But he had already gone through half the waitresses and more than a few bartenders, and he was bored already.Going to the bar area, where Wes and Alexa were waiting to leave, their tasks done, George gave them both a grin and held up the bag. "Okay, guys, almost done, then we blow this pop stand!"Richard rolled his eyes and snorted, lifting the heavy metal lid to the drop cylinder safe that was embeded in the floor. Covered with a bar mat, it was nearly unnoticable and only opened with a combination and key from either Richard or George. There was probably about seventy five thousand in it tonight, from a couple of day's receipts and some profits from Richard's other interests. That was the beauty of a cash business, you could launder all sorts of money in there, and no one noticed. He dropped the lid down with a clank, and pulled out the key and slipped it in his pocket."Alexa, you shouldn't be walking this late. George and I can run you home. And Wes? Do you have a car?" Fenton's solitious smile was turned brightly on the security lead.Tags:rp arc part oneLocation:ConfessionMood:busyMusic:money being counted Yes, yes, I know...True love, yadda yadda, it's all great.But doesn't anyone out there just want to hook up and get laid for fun?Sheesh.OOC: Yeah, forgive her. Kitt's thread got her started.Location:ConfessionMood:frustratedfrustratedMusic:club mix Alexa went back to work immediately, even volunteering to cover a shift on her usual Monday night off for Rob, one of the other bartenders. She needed to work, needed to stay busy and in this positive frame of mind that she had found in Spain. Work was steadying, it created order in the chaos of her life, and that was excellent.In her black slacks and grey top uniform, she thought she looked very pretty, and that made her smile. Her hair was up, tied up with beads matching the one on her collared choker necklace. She had called Mark’s voice mail, and left him a light, funny story about the flight back, and assured him that she was fine, for all of her flitting around. He understood the anxiety and uncertainty, so she felt good when she hung up, after smooching kissy noises into the phone that she knew would make him crack up when he heard them.She felt good. Really good. It was a quiet night in the club, so she just chatted with some of the customers and bopped around a bit to the music. She was trying to get back in a groove. It was hard, sometimes, but not tonight. Tonight was fine.Location:VIP BarMood:strongerMusic:Club Mix The club was shining, everything in top form for the Tammy Awards winners, nominees, friends and guests. Randy and his band were tuning up for their special show, while the VIP level hummed with activity. Everyone was treated like a VIP tonight, though, with elegant buffet tables laden with dishes prepared by...who else? Chef Gordon Ramsey! There was even a long, tempting table of all chocolate treats from chocolate covered strawberries to tiny crystal mousse cups to bite sized cakes and tarts. Champagne flowed freely, and the VIP section had lovely waiters and waitresses in Roman garb. On the main level, a DJ blasted out the music until the band took over.Richard actually came out of his office, gorgeous in black Armani, with a black silk shirt. George was in a barely there Versace gown of shimmering gold. Bartenders wore black and grey, the women in sleveless grey tops with choker collar necklaces designed for each girl, and the men in grey vests, all in black slacks. Security staff wore grey shirts with black suits, and had headsets to talk to each other, George and the head bartenders in each section.There are three bars on the main level. One bar serves the VIP section. There is also a smaller bar on the third floor, where virtual reality rooms are invitation only.Security is tight, and thanks to Richard, there is a small shrine on the third floor, and the club has been blessed as holy ground. Security officers are discreet, but watchful.It's time to start welcoming the first guests.OOC: Everyone is welcome to play, provided the muse is over 18. Persons 18-21 (without excellent fake ID) will be given bracelets that indicate they cannot drink alcohol. Have fun, but remember the rules. No wank. No fighting without clearing it with management. No OOC drama. No abuse. Play nice, have fun.Tags:tammy after partyMood:excitedexcited Previous 20 EntriesTop of Page | |
