OPEN

[walkingshitshow]

Who: Everyone and anyone
What: Grand Opening/Gathering post fun
Where: Pour Judgement - Jessica's bar
When: 6-14 night

Pour Judgement is officially open!

Sure, Jessica has been at the bar pretty much every day since receiving the key and has been letting people hang out if they had stopped by but now is the grand opening. Everyone who wants to come in will be allowed to do so since the staff is in place and they are full up on everything they need. Drinks are cheaper, the music is playing, and there is even a dance floor if anyone is so inclined.

For the most part, Jessica is milling about just keeping an eye on things. She will be behind the bar if the bartenders need help or she can be found at one of the corner booths nearby. Mostly, she just wants everyone to have a good time. Except for anyone looking to cause trouble. Those people won't have a good time at all.


[ Go ahead, post your people, and tag around! If you want Jessica, I will have a thread for her below. Feel free to find her anywhere in the bar. ]

It'll be fun.

When is the last time he has really had fun. Nick knows it has to be recently but those memories feel somewhat vague with all that has happened recently. So many things that feel like a dark cloud hanging over him and pressing him down.

He thinks about it for a second before setting down his beer with a chuckle, sliding out of his head while reaching for her hand. "Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you."

Zoey is utterly delighted, and thrilled when he chuckles and sets down his beer, and the smile she gives him is brilliant as he takes her hand. He decided to dance with her. “Warning duly noted,” she tells him warmly, before leading him out onto the dance floor with her.

And before they can even start, the music changes, from something up-tempo... to something slower. Unexpected, but it works out, she thinks. Might get him a little more comfortable dancing if they start out with something easy. She grins at him. “See? Nothing to worry about.”

Nick can't help but be charmed further by her smile which puts him at ease and makes him feel good about saying yes. He chuckles again as she reassures him that she had heard the 'warning' while they make their way onto the dance floor.

Not that he really knows how he is going to dance to the more dance-like music but then it changes, causing him to pause as he notices it becoming slower and softer. He glances towards the DJ curiously before turning to look at her, giving a sheepish but amused smile.

"Okay, I think I can handle this." He steps towards her but lets her decide how she wants to dance exactly.

There’s a moment of nervousness, as he steps towards her, giving her space to decide how she wants to dance with him. It’s been a while since Zoey’s danced with anyone. Let alone slow danced. But it’s easy to step into him, step close, into what feels like an intimate embrace as she twines her arms around him.

This close, he’ll be able to catch the scent of her perfume, the scent of her; something dark, and sultry, with a touch of petrichor, as well as something else that’s harder to put a finger on. A spark.

“I’ll be gentle, I promise,” she murmurs teasingly, playfully.

Nick didn't know if he was nervous or just unsure of himself as he tried to remember the last time he had danced like this. It had definitely been a long time since he had danced with a pretty stranger that he didn't know and she was definitely pretty. There was also something nice about the way she fit in his arms, her perfume sweeping over his heightened senses.

A part of him wants to tell her that she doesn't need to be gentle with him but he stops himself because it wouldn't be appropriate. Nor would it be like him. So he laughs instead, glancing down at her as she helps him to relax further while he settles his arms around her middle.

"Thank you, I appreciate that," He murmurs back, his eyes dancing with amusement.
