[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!))

Can...or rather...could I ask what happened between you and Vanitas?

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas just looks confused at her question.]

I thought you heard everything from Rin.

[shirleyhopeful]

Not quite.

Rin mentioned how Vanitas wanted to kill you so you could be stronger but I was curious how you know him.

[coolerthansora]

Um... [He doesn't really want to get into that crazy explanation.]

That was the first time we met.

[shirleyhopeful]

[Please excuse Shirley as she stares at you for a moment]

...Are you saying that he wanted to kill you just because...? [Another pause] Rin did say that you were a part of him too but...I thought that meant he was your brother.

[coolerthansora]

My-

[That's what she was thinking? Roxas shakes his head, waving one hand.]

Rin's- got things mixed up. Me and Vanitas aren't related. [At least, not like that, and not that closely.]

Sora's my brother.

[shirleyhopeful]

Ah...

[oops]

I'm sorry, it seems that I was wrong! My bad!

[but wait...]

Then can I ask exactly how you and Vanitas are half of one another? If you want to explain that is.

[coolerthansora]

That's easy. We're not.

[shirleyhopeful]

[Kingdom Hearts continuity, you are confusing! Have an unsure look from Shirley]

Um...didn't Rin just say...

But then again, you did say that he might have been wrong...

[coolerthansora]

[And Shirley's getting it like the telephone game.]

If that's what he told you, then yeah, he got it wrong.

Anyway you shouldn't worry about it, okay?

[shirleyhopeful]

As your friend, I don't think I can.

In addition, I'm not sure who else Vantias might hurt next when he comes back. It's a little bit...unsettling.

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas blinks. His friend? How does he keep making friends without realizing it...?]

Well, I don't want it to be you.

[shirleyhopeful]

Really now?

[Shirley just instantly calls anyone her friend but there was a long pause coming from her end]

I...I just don't want to believe there is someone who is truly that evil in Vatheon.

[coolerthansora]

I don't know about evil, but he is really screwed up. So- it's better if you just leave him alone.

[shirleyhopeful]

...perhaps it might.

But I will still keep an eye on him.

[coolerthansora]

...be careful, all right?

[shirleyhopeful]

Don't worry, I will!

If anything happens, I'll have my quill with me!

[She might not have the power of the ocean at her side anymore but she was still proud that she dish out some spells!]

[coolerthansora]

Your quill...?

[He's not completely sure what a quill is, but he didn't think it was a weapon.]

[shirleyhopeful]

Mhmm, my quill!

It's my weapon so I can cast spells if anything happens!

[coolerthansora]

...oh!

So you're a witch. [It's clear from how he says this that the word has no negative connotation for him. But still, maybe not the best word choice, Roxas.]

[shirleyhopeful]

...[Oh Roxas]

Kind of? I'm more of a crystal eren than a witch?

[coolerthansora]

What's a.. crystal eren?

[shirleyhopeful]

It's a term back home for people who can cast spells from the power of their finger nails! [In which she shows off hers. She could cast something here to prove her point but she doesn't want to destroy anything]

[coolerthansora]

From your fingernails...?

[Roxas manages to sound baffled and amazed at the same time, and of course he has to look at her hands. Magic powered by fingernails... That's new.]

[shirleyhopeful]

Mhmm, they usually glow but I would need my quill...and I don't want to destroy anything here.

A couple of my friends have them too so if you're interested, I can show you sometime soon!
