Ziggy Stardust Nexus Album Release Party

Why not in the Nexus had started all of this and now skekSa's bar had glitter and space themed drinks for the night, karaoke and a band playing for the release of a new album. Ziggy had decided this was the best course since so much of his family and friends couldn't go into his world to be there for his own party in his own world.

Of course, as with any good party this one was open to any who had stumbled into it and there were those directly invited as well. And flashy posters too. He was going through the ends of a sound check with the band when the bar opened.

There was a merch table, with the usual swag and new album to buy on CD and Vinyl, where they would be signing autographs and doing the whole meet and greet thing. Why not have fans in more than one universe? It had been a trip explaining this all to Mick. Weird and Gilly before dragging them through the portal. Ziggy still imagined there was going to be some crazy moments later in the night. They didn't even know he was an alien, or half alien anywway. All of this was going to blow their minds for sure.

After the show they had plans to spend the night just hanging out with drinking, karaoke, a DJ, and the usual bar fare. Ziggy had left Sa to the food and drink though he had put in a few requests for food his own species could eat.

Ziggy fussed with everything before heading backstage to drink and get dressed. About an hour after the bar opened they came out on stage and played through the whole album front to back plus a few from the previous.

[OOC: Feel free to mingle, karaoke, DJ, dancing, drinking, etc. Will post the band meet and greet below at the swag table as a top level. Any questions feel free to DM me here or on Discord.]

He hasn't seen Ziggy high before, but he's not entirely surprised his energy is at maximum after a performance like this. Especially in such an enthusiastic and varied crowd. He takes half a step back when he leaps the table, laughing, and says, "Well, I felt like if I wear a shirt with your face on it back home I'll have a lot of explaining to do, but I can wear it here, and the one with the helmet won't raise any eyebrows."

The noise he makes when Ziggy tugs at the strap of his underwear is difficult to categorize. It's a yelp plus a squeak, plus a giggle, and he turns nearly as red as his outfit, batting at Ziggy's hand. "Hhhggahh! It came with the outfit! What are you doing, cut that out!"

That's a bit of a non-sequitur to Rondo's mind, but that may be because his mind is currently occupied by the knowledge that Ziggy is toying with his underwear. "Wh-what? Oh! Of course we do! At least, we don't go particularly far, mostly just around the closest five or six systems. And we have lunar colonies."

He shivers, giggling again. He's got goosebumps from that; thanks, Ziggy. "I'm pretty sure they don't actually unbuckle," he says, making a face at him good-naturedly. "And for the record, the whole thing is not leather. I guess it's good to know it's an effective look."

Rondo is not used to this level of attention. His blush may be affixed permanently to his face at this point. He doesn't seem to object, though, still fighting giggles. And he gives Ziggy a gentle shove at the teasing. "You were already pawing at it, I'm just trying to keep you from reaching all the way into my pants to double-check!"

...oh gods, did he really just say that?

"...Iiiiiiiii think I need a drink." Someone save him!

Once again, Ziggy, you have prompted Rondo to make a very peculiar noise, something between a groan and a squeak. He buries his face in his hands for a moment, ears swiveled out and back with mixed amusement and embarrassment.

"You're adorable but I think I want you to stop teasing me in front of the humans," he says, when he's able to pull himself together. "And I really need something cold to drink now."

Beer is actually a very good bet! Elves tend not to care for anything too sweet, and Rondo's alcohol tolerance is about the same as a big adult human's would be. He accepts the bottle and holds it up to his face for a moment to cool the blush.

"You're not...? I mean...look, I know you have Hiroki and I don't want to hurt his feelings. He seemed a little uncertain before, and I don't know how your relationship works? Because he's human and they have different cultural...attitude...things."

"I guess I just don't get what's okay and what's not." He trails off sheepishly, positive he sounds dumb now, but also kind of pleased to know he's genuinely interesting to Ziggy. "A-anyway, I'm really glad I came. Seeing you perform is amazing."

This is obviously an immense relief to Rondo. He breaks into a smile and a little laugh, and reaches out to put his hand over Ziggy's. "Ha, and now you're blushing, so we're even."

Not that he's blushing at anywhere near the level Rondo is. Still, considering it's Ziggy, Rondo will take what he can get. "I just don't want to screw anything up for you. You deserve to be happy."

He takes a sip of beer, pausing for a moment to roll it on his tongue and decide if he likes it. And then he gives him a slightly mischievous smile. "But, I mean, if I can contribute to you being happy, I'm in."

Maybe a little less publicly, that's all.

"Oh, Ziggy. I don't even know if I could handle all of your attention," he says with a laugh, then leans in to hug him. "I'm still in school, you know."

He gets what he means by asking, though, and it makes him feel good. "You really are sweet."

He sits beside him, reasonably comfortable with kisses and close proximity. "In the interest of full disclosure, there's this other guy I'm kinda flirting with, too. But we're not exclusive."
