ziggyplayedguitar | 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.]

"There are other places I would prefer you." She teases as she walks away toward the bar. The truth is that his persistence is flattering and she likes it.

"What is the drink of choice for mischief?" She asks as she stops at the bar waiting for the bartender to come over.

"Now, I am wondering just where those places might be. One can wonder where an angel's mind might wander after a drink or two."

Not that Loki would assume that alcohol would even affect an angel in anyway as it would affect an Asgardian. Unless, it was angel booze and that was something Loki refused to try. Ever again. Norns, his head and stomach in the morning! That wretched banging with the hammer from the tall and burly angel.

"Red wine for me. It is my drink of choice when spending time with such pleasant and beautiful company."

His hand coming out to slide along Astaroth's shoulder, gently dipping lower to touch her collarbone.

"If you are hoping to get me inebriated, alcohol is not going to work." She gives him a gloriously charming smile.

"I prefer The Star." Astaroth tells him. The Star is a calvados based martini style drink. She glances down at the touch on her skin. "Tell me, do you touch me so much because you are eager for me to return the gesture?"

"Oh, believe me, I do know that you angels can hold your alcohol more than most mortals can. Indeed, more than us Asgardians even. Your fellow blacksmith angel was a good example to never mess with angel liquor. Norns, I was rather sick in the morning after."

Loki had Galahad to thank for reviving him with his tea. Where would he be without such a gracious-hearted friend as he? The god smirked coyly at Astaroth's flirtatious words.

"The Star? How interesting. I touch you because I cannot help it. Your skin and indeed your body fascinate me. A moth to the flame comes to mind whenever I gaze upon your beauty."

Smart words? The silver-tongue was full of them. Loki allowed his finger tips to gently move to the back of the angel's long neck, stroking just under her earlobe at a pulse point.

She laughs, high and musical. "Oh, you are a fool if you challenged my brother in drink."

She offers him his glass of wine with a smile. "You do know the moth is usually burned to death by the flame. That is a very dangerous game to play with fire for such a cold god."

She did not mean emotionally cold but in reference to his relationship to the northern climes. Getting her own drink she sips it coyly. "Though, perhaps the cold fire of my presence suits you well as a lured moth."

"Perhaps I was a fool yet I wanted to test his endurance as well as my own."

Loki would never admit to actually drinking himself into oblivion since that would be terrible oafish and obtuse just like his brother. He should have been more tactile and none of that awful experience would ever have happened. Perhaps it would be best if he didn't speak of it to anyone.

"I like to play close to the fire."

His voice was low and seductive as he picked up his glass of red wine, sipping slowly and keeping his green eyes locked onto hers. Being with Astaroth was one big guessing game. Also, the joy was in the chase as they said. Yet, Loki could almost taste that he was getting closer, inch by inch.

"There are tests and then there is pitting yourself against the very energy that allows drunkenness to occur." She's highly amused but not in a disparaging way, more like a friend laughing at their best friend doing something everyone else knows is stupid.

She sips her cocktail smiling devilishly. "Not close enough since I suspect you want the heat."

Did he crave heat? Astaroth's for sure yet he wasn't fool enough to outright admit such an obvious want. She could see for herself just how needy and wanton he was for her in his gestures and heated green gaze. The god sipped his drink and cocked his head slightly to the side.

"I enjoy chasing down my prey either in wolf form or the form I present to you now. Yet, I always relish in taking what I want once I get it."

His eyes flashed playfully, as he leaned closer so that his body was near pressed up against Astaroth's. A hand coming up to reach up and touch her soft hair only lightly.

"I'm the sphinx." She whispers in his ear. "We're known for burning men alive when hey displease us."

Her smile is one that lacks seriousness in the moment though it is a true statement. "You are going to have to learn you don't always get to be the one taking anything."

That was a little more serious as she sips her drink. No one owned nor commanded her. Maybe that is why she let him chase her, because she refused to be a conquest for anyone.
