Angel stands to one side and watches the dancers gyrate on the floor.
*noticing the dejected Angel, he guesses the reason why and walks over*
"Would you like to dance? You don't have to be good, just have fun! If you would rather we do this somewhere else, we can always go outside...."
The crowd seethes and shakes as the music segues to a more spicy beat.
A sudden bellow echoes over the assembled crowd:
MONKEY IN THE HIZOUSE!
A large fiendish ape dressed in an immaculately tailored three-piece suit with mirror-shined wingtip shoes descends from the omniportal. A fiendish dryad in a minidress with a navel-revealing neckline flanks his right arm. A succubus in a black frilled miniskirt and a red silk halter flanks his left. A gaggle of demonic entourage follow close behind.
The large ape bellows again.
WHO DO I HAVE TO KILL TO GET A DRINK AROUND HERE!
WHO DO I HAVE TO KILL TO GET A DRINK AROUND HERE!
*Walking over to the monkey, Oroth hands him a stiff drink.*
"Here is your drink. A word of warning though, don't make threats you'll find hard to keep..."*He turns and walks to Alaina.*
"I'm going to keep an eye on the furry one. Do you want me to throw him out is he gets out of hand?"
The monkey frowns down at Oroth.
Watch your mouth, chuckles. I ain't the type of monkey you wanna disrespect..
The huge ape flexes his large fists and gives Oroth the hairy eyeball. A few two-headed flying half tribble monkeys peek over his massive shoulder, grimacing and giving Oroth the finger.
You're lucky I like Alaina an' I just bought this suit ...
*He turns and walks to Alaina.*
"I'm going to keep an eye on the furry one. Do you want me to throw him out is he gets out of hand?"
That's ok. He's a regular. Don't piss him off, he's also an Abyssal Lord ...
Continues slinging out drinks

"Abyssal you say? How... interesting."
In the crowd, it's easy to miss the ragged human woman swaying about as she moves.
Dance, dance, dance while the world burns.
She hums tunelessly to herself before stopping to pick something up and then leaving.
Lynora-Jill pops in via the omniportal, Malice Jack in tow. She heads for the dance floor, waving a greeting to Alaina on the way.
Lynora-Jill and Malice Jack flash into existence on the omniportal. The club is jammed, the strobe lights flashing off a sea of beings of all shapes and sizes.
A fast-stuttering song echoes off the pale limestone walls of the main clubhouse as the crowd ripples and shakes.
WOW! I don't think I've ever seen it so packed! MJ yells to LJ
Alaina runs over, decked in a lilac gown. She hugs Lynora-Jill
Hi sweetie! How are you?
MJ lets the two schmooze and he heads for the DJ stand.
Time to kick it up a notch! He yells over his shoulder

WOW! I don't think I've ever seen it so packed! MJ yells to LJ
I know! This place has gotten really popular! LJ yells back. She's already starting to move to the rhythm. I'm gonna dance for awhile!
She moves onto the dance floor, unaware of the attention she naturally draws, especially when she starts to glow just a little. She is totally lost in the joy of dancing.
Alaina runs over, decked in a lilac gown. She hugs Lynora-Jill
Hi sweetie! How are you?
I'm fantastic. I can't believe how much this place has taken off. You must be so thrilled. Got time to join me on the dance floor?
Looks around
Sure! I had one guy macking on me, but I think I shook him off for now...
Shakes head
I swear it gets hard to say no sometimes ...Oh I love this song!
Leads LJ out to the dance floor as Malice Jack spins his first selection. His voice rolls out over the massive speakers
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome ..I am your DJ. We're going to start here with a kick ...
Lynora-Jill moves to the beat, totally focused on dancing. As she moves and shimmies a thin sheen of sweat starts to form on her skin. She is totally oblivious to what this is doing to the already thin fabric of her dress. Things have been much to serious lately and right now she just wants to have fun.
Alaina keeps up with her friend, the pulse of the music and the energy of the crowd buoying her despite the exhaustion she feels. She lets the music sweep over her, melding her movements to match Lynora-Jill's. Malice spins up another tune as the first one fades. Sweat starts to slick Alaina's skin, plastering her lilac gown to her body as she tries to keep up with Lynora-Jill's dancing.
Wow I needed this! She yells to Lynora-Jill as the two undulate across the floor

Looks up briefly at the sound of MJ's voice, grins knowingly.
Looks back down at his nubile partner, his smile growing more mischevious:
"Hope you've got something left in reserve, my dear, because I do believe Malice Jack is about to make things interesting."
The yochlol smiles oh so wickedly, the Legolas belly tee sodden against her sweat-slicked frame.
Mortal, I haven't even begun to tap my reserves yet .. She purrs
Shaking her plaid-covered rump, she leads Devlyn on with a wink of one violet eye
Chuckles, and follows her lead.
"I knew you'd say that."
"Abyssal you say? How... interesting."
*He turns and walks to Alaina.*

KC slams the book shut. His eyes are like daggers.
The tropical sun crests the forest's edge as Alaina wakes. What a night! She can hardly believe that she danced all night with Lynora-Jill after the punishing happy hour the club had had. She aches all over, but it is a good ache.
Alaina pads to her sitting area. Rosie has laid out a simple breakfast of orange juice and English muffin, with a pot of Earl Grey gently steaming on a silver trivet nearby. Alaina begins slathering the warm muffins with butter and pours herself a hot cup.
Standing and stretching after her light repast, she pads over to her closet, shedding her lingerie as she walks. Pulling out the Dark&Stormy Knight tee she won from the Jacks, she drapes it over her customary bikini and shorts combo. Slipping her crosstrainers on she descends to the pool area.
The outside seating is still in disarray, but looking much better thanks to the tireless efforts of Acme and Rosie. The new altargirls had done a bang up job as well. Which reminded Alaina, she'd have to start their religious instruction today.
Parking herself under the pool's pergola, Alaina begins her warmup yoga routine.
Devlyn awakes in the suite he has taken out at the club. A moment's disorientation seizes him as he realizes he is not alone. He peeks out from the covers and sees the yochlol from last night, Damarra, standing in front of the room's full-length mirror, naked. The slender demon seems to be conversing with her reflection, and not having a good time of it either.
Devlyn's memories of the evening are a little foggy, owing to the rapidy ingested Flesh Ripplers, but what little he does remember brings a smile to his face.
Devlyn blinks away the fog as best he can, smiling as he takes in the scene of Damarra's lithe form in the dim light. Once he registers the fact that she is talking, he quietly listens to her conversation for a moment, trying to ascertain whether or not she really is talking to her own reflection, or something else. He's concerned at her tone of voice, especially if she sounds upset or angry.

"Would you like to dance? You don't have to be good, just have fun! If you would rather we do this somewhere else, we can always go outside...."
"You're very kind," Angel says, "but I would refer to be a little more drunk before I go out there and make a fool of myself. I'm not a poodle you knwow." Turning back to the bar she says, "barkeep, another Dark and Stormy for me and one for my friend here."
"Pay more attention to the your dancing with, and maybe we can show everyone here what it's like to really dance!"
*He extends a hand to El-lina*
"Shall we?"
Devlyn attempts to listen in, but he is tail end to the conversation. Damarra turns suddenly from the mirror and spots his head peeking from the covers. A flash of ... anger? ...whips across her gorgeous features before a sly smile graces her heart-shaped face.
Good morning warrior ...she purrs, stretching in front of the mirror
Sits up, still smiling admiringly as he watches her stretch,
"Good morning Damarra. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop - but you sounded upset, and I wasn't sure why."
Scoots to the edge of the bed, stretching out a bit himself.
"Are you okay?"
KC is reading the book again, holding it with one hand. The other is holding some small object.

*Having noticing KC has been watching him, Oroth heads back to his room, after distibuting the last of the drinks of course*
"Alaina, it's starting to get a little loud for me, so I'm going back to my room for a little while. Ask if you need any help."|

Angel walks up and grins a silly grin, "Hey KC, whaccha readin?"
Lynora-Jill moves to the beat, totally focused on dancing. As she moves and shimmies a thin sheen of sweat starts to form on her skin. She is totally oblivious to what this is doing to the already thin fabric of her dress. Things have been much to serious lately and right now she just wants to have fun.
*Walking back onto the dance floor, Rio notices Lynora and Alaina dancing. He greets Lynora, having to look down because of his new height, after she stops dancing. She doesn't recognize him though.*
"Lynora! Hi, how have you been?"
KC is reading the book again, holding it with one hand. The other is holding some small object.Angel walks up and grins a silly grin, "Hey KC, whaccha readin?"
"A book on disguises, lies, and area-affecting detect undead spells in particular." KC says calmly. "This other book next to me is one of deific possession and similar occurrences, and this last one is about the revival of immortals." He gestures to the small pile next to him.

"Isn't that a bit heavy for a place like this," Angel asks as she motions to the gyrating dancers. Suddenly the music changes signeling the start of retro night.
"Given my suspicions, this is teh best place."
"Can you help me," says a sultry woman to KC. "I'm looking for the mighty warrior called Jack Hammer. Have you seen him?"
KC frowns and shakes his head.
"I don't know, you'll have to look around. Who ants to know?"
"Well enjoy," Angels says. Then she heads onto the floor and begins to dance, but not very well.

"Lynora! Hi, how have you been?"
Hearing her name, she did a double take and finally realized who she was talking to.
"Rio! You got tall! Come dance with us."Rio soon found that trying to keep up with LJ when she was focused on dancing was an act of endurance not many could meet. She waved to him as he finally had to sit down and take a rest.
"Well enjoy," Angels says. Then she heads onto the floor and begins to dance, but not very well.
"Are you okay?"The yochlol stretches again then smiles at Devlyn.
Oh it was nothing. A work-related matter.
She starts grabbing her clothes and slipping them back on.
Thank you for a wonderful evening. She says as she belts her palid miniskirt back on.
After she dresses she gives Devlyn a small wave and exits the room.
Smiling
"I had a great time, and I'm glad you did too. I hope you can find time to come visit again."
Devlyn walks her to the door, waving back as she leaves. After she turns the corner and is out of sight, he goes back in the room, figures out how to operate the tub/shower/thingy and gets cleaned up, then heads downstairs to get some breakfast out in the sun, a little lost in thought.

As he walks into the room, Devlyn notices an alluring woman dressed in white furs walking across the room. "Hello," she says, "my name is Allura. You seem like just the fellow I'm looking for."
