Playtime with the Girls (open post)

[sweetcandygirl]

Harley has been a little restless the past month or so. While there is still some random jobs she gets from the Nexus, and from her world, it really has not been keeping her busy enough. And she needs a distraction. A distraction from the bad stuff that went down in her life … and just needs to surround herself with good friends. And a party.

So she decides to throw a "Girls Only" night at her Coney Island roller derby. She gets the place set up with decorations, lots of liquor, and lots of food. There is a place for people to get up and sing karaoke in one corner. And a quieter couch area in another corner.

The main focus is on the roller derby rink itself, where Harley is currently skating a few rounds.

She convinced a certain Angel messenger to deliver the invites out to as far as he could, so anyone from the Nexus could drop on by. The only rule of the night... was this was a Girls Night only.

Lucifer would of course would come, not only because of the invite. She loved to roller skate and sing. This was like setting up a shrine to call her. She was dressed in tight black jeans and a red dress shirt. Though she preferred flowing dresses but those would not do for roller skating. Her reddish hair is all braided up to keep it out of her face.

Getting a drink she goes to find who she might know, and be more support when her brother.. well now sister showed up the first time in public.

The best thing about the roller derby setting, is that Harley can keep her skates on no matter where she goes. She rolls up to the bar, where she spots Lucifer. And waves with a bright smile.

"Hey! Great to see you!"

[the_rebel_son]

She smiles brightly and hugs Harley. "Now that I have a drink, we need to find me a pair of those." Lucifer points down at the skates. "I am good on skates and the derby looks fun."

skekSa the Mariner decided to come when she received the invitation from one of the angels, the loud one who wanted to build the pirate ship. She decided to make an appearance, seeing as it's not a busy day and she wanted to get to know some of her friends and acquaintances better - Harley included. She doesn't know many of them as well as she would like.

She dresses like the pirate queen she is - red longcoat with sparkles added by Alex, her usual tricorned cap, a dress underneath the coat instead of her usual pants. She's dressing fancy. It's a party, after all.

There are some people she hopes stop by, including a certain angel and a certain fellow captain. Right now skekSa's hanging over with the drinks, occasionally swigging from a flask of nectarwine that's tied to her belt. She brought a few bottles herself, her own contribution to Harley's stock.

[sweetcandygirl]

"Hey hey hey… what is this? Bringing your own booze to the party? And not sharing with the host?" Harley's bright voice announces her arrival. She skates up to skekSa with a teasing smile.

Beelzebub has been nervous about this all day which means she is already incredibly drunk when she shows up. The clothing is similar; Leather boots, kilt, and a leather and fur wrapped shirt. both swords still on her back.

Her hair is up in the usual braids, still tall, but nervous. Only Lucifer and Galahad had seen him in this form. She needs a drink and goes directly to the bar to get a bottle of whiskey.

[sweetcandygirl]

Harley might not recognize Beelzebub in the woman form. But there is something familiar about the woman all the same. And so, Harley skates up to her, circling around with a bright grin on her face.

"Whiskey. Nice choice."

Adia has done a couple circuits of the rink and feels comfortable enough to leave it for a drink. She skates to the bar and has to stop quickly to avoid bumping into the woman dressed for what looks like one of Harley's roller derby games. "Oh, sorry! Excuse me." She smiles apologetically, moving a little along the bar to give the other woman space. "It's been forever since I've been skating, I almost forgot how to brake..."

For her part, Delia's always ready to have fun once the Work is Done, and so! She's here and ready to have fun, and to try a little bit of everything, if only for the experience of doing so. Whatever happens tonight, in her humble opinion, is whatever happens.

Taking into account the varied events for the evening, Delia's wearing shorts, sandals, and a shirt with some Klingon writing on it (probably some phrase about glory or honor or similar), and can be found basically, well. Anywhere.

[sweetcandygirl]

"There is my girl." Harley greets Delia with a warm hug, which is somehow accomplished considering the fact that she is still wearing her roller skates.

"Are you having a good time?"

[silverseamariner]

"Hello, Captain Ballista. Harley and Azazael invited you here, too?" skekSa greets Delia with a tip of her feathered cap. "Hope you're enjoying yourself here - it's good to see some familiar faces around, though there are a few new ones, too."

She gives a soft laugh as she offers Delia a clawed hand in greeting. "You're dressed to kill, lass. I had my longcoat touched up by the local tailor, so it looks better than ever. Even if I do say so myself. He's good at what he does."

[chiron_survivor]

Adia loves the idea of a "girls only" night at the roller derby where she has seen Harley play. In theory, anyway. In practice, she is intimidated by only seeing Harley so far as a familiar face. She's become a lot less shy at parties and get-togethers over the years, but often her husband is with her which guarantees someone to talk to.

She's delighted to see Harley, of course, but doesn't want to monopolize her host's time. So for now, she'll just shuffle on her skates by the wall until she works up the nerve to introduce herself to someone. Anyone.

Yep. Any time now...

[sweetcandygirl]

Harley of course is more than happy to have her time monopolized by Adia. So when she spots the other woman, she skates over and greets her with a smile.

"Hey! How are you doing?"

[silverseamariner]

"Didn't see you there for a moment."

The Mariner doesn't go skating, mostly because the skates are designed for human feet, not Skeksis ones. But she gives a small smile when she greets the stranger. A new face, at least for her.

"Hello, lass - haven't seen you around before. You can call me Captain skekSa. I'm relatively new around here, though the Nexus is a boon to an explorer like me. So I figure I'll be spending a lot of time here as of late." She indicates her clawed feet. "Skates aren't built for my people, I'm afraid. I tried putting some on a while ago."

Amelia's grateful to see someone else staying close to the wall while they skate, and even more grateful to see it's Adia. It takes her some time - and far more planning than she expected due to clinging to the wall for support - but eventually the rogue makes it over to her friend. She'd skate out for a hug, but that's... not an option right now. Adia will have to come over for that to happen.

"Hi Adia," Amelia calls out, smiling nervously as she comes to a stop so she can wave at her friend. "It's great to see you here. I was wondering how many people I would recognize tonight." There are other faces here that she knows, but familiarity is key when the rogue is feeling so out of sorts.

[amartolosa]

Sin wouldn't miss this kind of party for anything. A girl's night out is definitely needed and she comes dressed to the nines, though she picked something short in case she decides to skate. Though, she does have a tray of treats; small finger cakes, truffles, chocolates, cookies and the like. For now, she's looking for place to put the treats she's brought.

[sweetcandygirl]

"Sweet. Chocolate." Harley skates by and picks up a piece of chocolate, and places it in her mouth with a smile.

"These are good!"

[drkenison]

Gloria doesn't always have time to spend in the Nexus outside of her research but a ladies night at the skate ring is something she can't resist. Back home things are bad and fun is rare because they are most often fighting for their lives.

Her dress places her solidly in the 50s flared poodle skirt, little sweater and curled hair. She doesn't know what to expect but comes in to rent skates. The derby looks too much for her but some time on wheels again will make her night better.

[sweetcandygirl]

The poodle skirt catches Harley's attention first. She skates over, and gives a friendly little salute in greeting.

"Hey. Love the outfit."

[starryeyedangel]

Astaroth decided to join her fellow angels as ladies for the evening. She's waifish and over seven foot tall with bluish hint to her skin and hair. Things aren't really made for her height especially once she has a pair of skates on. She's met Harley before but doesn't know who else might be here.

[sweetcandygirl]

The sight of a tall, bluish person has Harley missing Loki for a second. And she touches the strand of black hair that is braided into her own white strands.

Then she skates over to Astaroth. "Hello tall and beautiful!"

[chiron_survivor]

Is... is that Astaroth? Adia has to squint to be sure, but aside from the change in gender, she very much resembles the tall, blue angel that she met at the Observatory. She skates over, relieved to see a familiar face, and wiggles her fingers up at the angel.

"Um... hi. It's me, Adia. Nice to see you here."

[rogueinladysclothing]

For all the things Amelia's good at after so much physical training, skating is not one of them. After several unsuccessful attempts to get more than a few feet away from the bench where she put her borrowed pair of skates on, the rogue is content to sit quietly off to the side until she's ready to force herself out into the rink where she'll have a handhold while she figures out how to do this.

Or until she gives up on trying again altogether and puts her boots back on. At this point, she's not sure which will come first at this point, but she's glad she took Alex's advice to "dress down" a bit for the evening. The jeans are far more forgiving to her falls than her usual wardrobe would be.

[the_rebel_son]

Lucifer is dressed down too; black skinny jeans and a red dress shirt were far from the usual elegant gowns and classic suits the angel usually wore. She's good on skates from a love of ice skating that translates fairly easily to wheels. She's seen Amelia struggling and glides over to see her.

"You look like you could use help, or at least some company."

[sweetcandygirl]

"Amelia!" Harley of course is very talented with roller skating. And she skates up to the other woman, stopping a few inches away with ease.

"I am so glad you came out for this!"
