[GV] - 2 - A pirate's life for me

[chosen_gigolo]

The host club Golden Victory was closed for the last two days to facilitate a change of theme. When its doors reopen on the first, the change from the upscale classy atmosphere of last month is dramatic. The interior is now decked out to the theme of a pirate ship. There's rigging along the booths at the walls and the bar has been done up to look like an exotic market. Fruits and nuts have replaced the bowls of peanuts that had graced the bar top and the herbs and spices cast a pleasing aroma over the entire club floor. There is a small Help Wanted: Bartender. Contact Zelos for Details sign on the bar but it's oddly hard to spot, partially obscured by various bits of decor.

The hosts themselves have been given opulent pirate attire to go with the theme! Each, of course, has been allowed to add little details of their own to the uniform as long as it fits with the theme, and of course lets not forget the hats. The host list is, as ever, placed by the door for the customer's perusal next to the posting of the rules.

Hosts:
Angelo
Asbel Lhant
Atem
Dhaos
Duke Pantarei
Fai D. Flourite
Ioder
Peony Malkuth IX
Rin Okumura
Roy Mustang
Ryu
Serph
Sora and Roxas (take clients together.)
Zelos Wilder (Only takes appointments with women.)

So how about it, patrons? Would you care to spend some time with Vatheon's dashing buccaneers?

((ooc: So I've decided to knock out the structure of the last post since it didn't really help anything. Hosts can still make appointment threads as they prefer and if something is to take place in a certain section of the club privately, just note that in the subject line as a closed thread. Otherwise, have fun!))

[Bianca had been curious about this host club for a while now and thought it might be interesting to check out. It wasn't until that she saw Zelos that she walked over to him]

Zelos? Is that you?

[chosen_gigolo]

The one and only! Well if it isn't my Veridian Cutie~

[He motions to the empty space on the love seat next to him.]

Have a seat! How've you been, sweetheart?

[needsmoregreen]

[And she does just that!]

I've been pretty good! [minus what happened but...!] This is my first time in the Host Club so I'm really sure what to do here!

[chosen_gigolo]

Just talk to people, that's all! Maybe get something to eat or drink if you want. We have a lot of exotic juices and things, plus our chefs can whip up some pretty tasty fare.

[He turns sideways on the couch, leaning one elbow across the back and resting his chin on the attached hand so he can give her his full, undivided attention.]

So how have things been going for you, hunny? I hear you've inspired Tsubaki-chan to take up art!

[needsmoregreen]

So it's kind of like a party? Haha, that's easy enough, I can talk to everyone here if I want!

[And then there was a pause. Should she tell him?]

I've been good, I'm moving next to my friend soon so I'm getting ready! And really? I haven't talked to her in a while but I can't wait to see what she has drawn so far!

[chosen_gigolo]

Pretty much like a party, yeah!

[Actually that's the best description he's heard.]

Oh yeah? Moving to be closer to your friend'll be nice. It can get kinda lonely here sometimes so that'll counteract it.

[He waves a hand up.]

She hasn't shown me anything either but I'm pretty sure she'll be great at it! The girl's got some skill with a pen.

[needsmoregreen]

Haha, I've been meaning to ever since two of my friends have gone back to their own world. [Pause] It is kind of selfish but I'm kind of glad that he's still around!

Oh? Haha, I wish I could be skilled like that!

[chosen_gigolo]

It's not selfish to want your friends around. Hell, if they're your friends they'll want you around too. At least, that's how it's supposed to work.

[Unlike for Zelos where his friends are better off if he isn't around, hah...]

You're no slouch, Bianca-hunny! I still have that get well card you made me.

[He smiles broadly at her, and it's even genuine. She's just so earnest and cute!]

[needsmoregreen]

It feels like it sometimes, especially if they have something they want to do!

[Ever since Hilbert left, she has been wondering if it was. He was going off to find the seven sages and save the world again but...a part of her wanted him to stay here with her and Cheren]

Eh, really? Haha, I'm glad you did! If you ever want another one, let me know and I'll get started on it right away!

[chosen_gigolo]

Hey, I'd be happy no matter how much you draw as long as you enjoy it.

[It's true, too. Bianca is positively radiant when she's doing something she enjoys and Zelos caught onto this quickly. He's got that talent, honing in on what makes a girl unique and beautiful inside and out. For Bianca, it's definitely how much of herself she puts into doing the things she loves.]

[needsmoregreen]

Then I can draw something right now!

[Hell yeah, drawing!!1!!1!!]

Do you have a pencil and a piece of paper here?

[chosen_gigolo]

Sure! Just hold on a sec.

[Off Zelos trots to get supplies. Moments later he's returned with not only a few sheets of paper and a box of colored pencils, but also a tall glass of pineapple juice for his guest. It's a guess, but he thinks she'll like the sweet drink.]

Here you are darlin'~

Once again please excuse my horrible paint skillz

[needsmoregreen]

[Once Zelos gave them to her, she quickly drawing right away! After a couple of minutes, she decided to show her art to him]

Hm...[And then she looked at it again] it feels like it might be missing something. What do you think I should add?

I love it~ No need to apologize!

[chosen_gigolo]

Well I dunno... What about those little monster pet things you've got?

[He's seen pokemon around but never really paid them much attention. He's aware she's a trainer though.]

Pfffttt

[needsmoregreen]

You mean pokemon?

Hm...I don't really remember Cheren's Serperior in detail but I could try!

[Once she takes a sip from the juice, she goes back to drawing! Erase a couple of this and a couple of that...]

[chosen_gigolo]

[Zelos just leans back and watches her draw. He really enjoys how into it she gets, from the tip of her tongue sticking out of her mouth to the concentrated furrow of her eyebrows. The expression is a little similar to his sister when she was little and they actually played together so it puts him in somewhat of a nostalgic mood.]

Also drawing this on MS Paint is harder than it looks

[needsmoregreen]

[Look at her masterpiece!]

And there! This is me and Cheren fighting with our pokemon! [She points to her pokemon to the left] This is Emboar and... [then to the left] Serperior! I don't know what he looks like too well but I think it's good!

[chosen_gigolo]

[He leans over her shoulder from behind, resting one hand on it for balance though he doesn't put his full weight against her.]

Fantastic! You've got a real talent, Bianca-hunny~!♥

[needsmoregreen]

Haha, thank you!

I hope that I can show them to everyone soon! I just need to make it a little bit more nicer... [hm...] Although I think it looks nice as it is...

[chosen_gigolo]

I think it does too, though I'm no artist. You'd know better than I would!

[Hmm...]

Maybe we could have an art show sometime in the club so you could hang some of your work up!

[needsmoregreen]

Really?

[Hm...she's starting to doubt herself a bit]

I wouldn't mind seeing other people's drawings, it could be a lot of fun!

[chosen_gigolo]

Yours too! C'mon now, it'd be for everyone.

[Where'd all that self confidence go?]

[needsmoregreen]

Haha, of course, I'll show mine as well!

Oh, I means I should get ready for the show! What to draw...

[She's not use to having huge crowds of people looking at her art!]

[chosen_gigolo]

[Well it won't likely be huge crowds, but hopefully he can get people on board...]

You've got some time. It probably won't be until the fall anyway! I've got a party someone wants to host here at the club so I'm helping with that. It'll give time for artists to get things done anyway.

[needsmoregreen]

A party?

What kind of party are you hosting here at club? Isn't it a party already?
