- Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers had visited Club Lux all but once, maybe twice - hey, competition isn't good, but it was a nice place and a little..Intriguing, what with the bar owner being who he is, or at least with a name like that. Buffy was curious to hear there would be a grand re-opening and she was more curious to learn more about another..Potential threat, if that's what he was.
So she strides in, glancing around the place, sans blonde vampire in tow - you know, the one who is definitely not her boyfriend - and she heads towards the bar, ready to order a drink. Just a plain Gin n' Tonic for the lady tonight. It's been a long night..
Dressed in red leather pants, black shirt and black leather jacket, she looks like she's been working out or something, a little tired, a little ruffled and what's with that cross body bag she carries with her, compact enough but looks like it might be fairly heady? college kid maybe?
- Lucifer has posed:
The man, the myth, the legend - Lucifer Morningstar - is actually bored enough tonight that he's tending bar. With the upcoming re-opening, and rumors that part of the club is closed off, things have been a bit slow so far this week. For the moment, the immaculately dressed club owner is wearing a three piece suit of all black - tie included - with only a splash of color being the red handkerchief sticking out of his left breast pocket.
When Buffy takes a seat at the bar, he actually shifts over to slide into her view, all smiles while serving up her requested gin and tonic. "You're missing your side piece tonight, Miss Summers.." He offers while placing the glass on a coaster in front of her - garnished with a lime. "And you look like you've been through hell and back...pun not intended." Does he think she knows? Probably. Does he care? Not likely. He's been a bit more open about the whole Lord of Hell thing recently - for reasons not quite known to anyone but himself. "Regardless, to what do I owe the pleasure of your presence?"
- Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers yawns and stretches, reaching for her drink, giving a nod of thanks to the barman. "Thanks!" she takes a loong sip and sighs, slumping back on the stool. Phew, what a night. Too many vamps all the time. Don't they ever take a break? She should probably put up her feet and get some rest but she's feeling restless for some reason..
When Luci makes his appearance, she arches a curious brow, and then smirks and shrugs. "Spike, you mean? Oh, he's nothing..I mean, definitely not what you think. I mean.." she just laughs and shakes her head, taking a nother long sip of her drink. Because it's just so frustrating/sad/annoying/pathetic that everyone keeps mistaking him for her boyfriend or something.
Siigh.
"Hmm..Me? Oh, you know, was just in the neighbordhood, been working out and all.." is that a twig in her hair? How'd that get there? And what's with the scratches on her arm? Did she get into a fight with a bramblebush?
"It was Lucifer, right? As in, y'know, the devil you know?
- Lucifer has posed:
"I mean, he was by your side, and ... well ... he seemed like a piece to me." Lucifer comments and then shrugs. After a moment, he actually reaches across the bar and plucks the twig from her hair, tossing it in the bin beside him.
"It is. Yes. Lucifer Morningstar. Owner and proprieter." Of the club. Of Hell. Of the penthouse the next floor up. Take your pick! "Just in the neighborhood... and I suppose we can go to sleep tonight knowing that there are a few less baddies running around, causing a mess?" He tilts his head then, and that charming smile remains while he refills a drink to someone a couple seats down from Buffy.
- Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers smirks and shrugs, waving a dismissive hand at the mere thought, "Nah, more like a piece of cake, or piece of..Well.." she just sighs, rubbing her eyes a bit. Maybe she should have ordered a Red Bull in the mix. Afterall, she has to get up early the next day for another long shift at the Magic Box.
When he plucks the twig from her hair, she blinks, reaching up to touch her head. "Hey, what gives? You usually treat your guests this....Way?" oh. Twig. Argh. Awwwwwkwaaaard.. Buffy just laughs nervously, "Right, what can I say? I'm a late night..Err..Gardener?" she carefully hides the scratch marks on her hands, suddenly feeling self conscious.
Oh, except when he mentions 'baddies' so casually as if he can see through her rather terrible lie. "Err..Baddies? Who's fighting..Baddies?"
- Lucifer has posed:
Lucifer blinks and raises a brow before he chuckles. "I just figured you wouldn't want to keep walking around looking like you just burrowed under a bush. Next time, I promise I'll keep my hands to myself." He says this and that smile remains as she questions the last thing he said. One shoulder lifts in a shrug. "Don't worry. Your secrets safe with me. I just hope you didn't follow someone in here and expect me to give them up easily." Though, that would be a difficult line for Lucifer. He cannot tell a lie, but he is protective of those within and around his domain - be that the club or Hell itself. Still... "You can just sit here and drink your gin and tonic, relax, and not worry about the world outside for a while."
Then, as if by sheer coincidence, a Red Bull is placed in front of her as well.
- Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers bites her lip, busying herself with smoothing her hair out. Ugh..Dammit, soo embarrassing. She's really got to start carrying a mirror with her when she goes on these little excursions!
"Right, of course!" she clears her throat, taking another looong sip of her drink. "Yeah, probably for the best, y'know.." Well, Buffy decides it's probably best not to finish that sentence. Not really wise to make threats against powerful club owners that share their names with certain supernatural agents and all.
And then there's that weird tingling she gets in the back of her head whenever she's around supernatural types. But Buffy is a bit buzzed already and there are other people around. It could be nothing..
All the same..Buffy shivers as she finishes the last of her gin and tonic, pushing the glass away. Ooh, a Red Bull..She arches an almost wary brow at Luci. "Well, aren't we generous tonight. What's the special occasion?" she smirks, "Not like I'm exactly a loyal customer afterall, working for the 'competition' and all." which could be taken in many ways.
- Lucifer has posed:
Lucifer lifts a single shoulder in a shrug. "You looked like you could use a little pick me up." He offers and then smirks. "First drinks are always on the house, and if you'd like another, just say the word." Is that true for everyone? Maybe. How does he keep the club alive then? It takes more than one free drink to shut down a sin den.
A glance is given over her face, as if he's trying to discern what the might possibly mean by 'competition'. It's a quick thing, barely noticeable, and he gives that single-shoulder shrug once more. "Every one is a loyal customer of mine one way or the other, Miss Summers. It's all about the perception of such."
- Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers peers at him some more, like she's been doing for a fair bit of the night, trying to figure out his angle, which..Is pretty tricky so far. He doesn't *seem* evil afterall. Far from it. Maybe she's just overanalyzing things.
A casual shrug is given to his comment, a faint smile painting her lips as she cracks open the red bull and takes a slow sip. Phew, this stuff is sweet, but it sure hits the spot. Will help keep her awake for her night studying later. Really, she's got terrible habits, doesn't she?
"Ohh, I get it now, lure 'em in and keep them coming for more, hmm? Although I think after this one, I'll probably be good for the night. Not a bad place you got here though. I mean, it has its own charm.."
Another slow nod as Buffy glances around the place. "Well, I suppose a person could take that any number of ways, couldn't they?" she grins, So much double meaning tonight.
"Actually, what I meant, is that I work the security detail at the Blue Lady not far from here, but of course you've probably heard of it before? Although it's always nice to get out and about, check out other places once in a while. And I hear you're having a re-opening celebration come the weekend?"
- Lucifer has posed:
"I might have." Well it's not a lie, because he indeed might have, and Lucifer wasn't directly asked the question. Still. "Well, I'm glad you think so. If you have some free time on Saturday you should pop in and see what I have in store." A grin. "Honestly, if anyone thinks I'm competition...well...they haven't seen anything yet." The Devil in Disguise says this, smirks, and his eyes...flicker? Maybe it's just the lighting. "You should really take care of the rest of your night, Miss Summers, and I will hope to see you soon."
