Ziggy Stardust Nexus Album Release Party
Nov. 14th, 2020 09:57 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
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.]

Merch/ Swag table and Band Meet and Greet with Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars
Date: 2020-11-15 03:14 am (UTC)Sitting down with a whole bottle of whiskey and cold beer Ziggy was more than happy to talk to anyone who came by.
Mom and Dad Stardust

Date: 2020-11-15 04:18 am (UTC)As they made their way back through the bar, Minoru spotted a couple of familiar faces. He waved to Tom and his wife.
“These seats taken?”
Minoru couldn’t wait for the show to start!

Date: 2020-11-15 08:07 am (UTC)This young clone guy is grinning ear to ear. When Ziggy had told him about all this, he wasn't quite sure what to expect.
He doesn't have wings anymore, that'd be tacky here, wouldn't it? But he's shining a little, right now. Glowing. Literally.
He won't exhaust himself, he's too happy and into all this, things that are happening. So he'll survive all the glowing, no problem!
"My starlight Fiancée is the best," he whispers.

One suave angel
Date: 2020-11-15 11:03 am (UTC)He is wearing a blue suit with a matching cravat. Maybe he'd taken a few leaves out of his vessel's book since he was looking particularly suave tonight. Looking around, he offered nods to various faces he'd met before and noticed the décor. Ziggy had definitely put a lot of time and effort into the place. Walking up to the bar he ordered a scotch on the rocks and delved his free hand into his pants pocket just looking around for either of the twins. Of course, his red-haired lover had to be around here somewhere since it was almost a calling card.

Date: 2020-11-15 11:09 am (UTC)Balthazar sauntered up behind his lover, sliding a hand gently around his waist, squeezing slightly whilst clutching a scotch in his free one. The fact that Jack was wearing a costume similar to Ziggy's got an amused smile from the angel. Of course. His eyes glanced down to the scarf, gently nuzzling his nose into it playfully before pressing a soft kiss to Jack's cheek.
"I'm loving that outfit, darling. It's very you."
Tony Stark aka Iron-Man
Date: 2020-11-15 11:20 am (UTC)"The Spiders from Mars? Are we talking huge Martian spiders here?"
Because this was a conversation starter for sure. At least, someone would have the information to enlighten him on. Sipping through his straw, Tony looked around at all the posters and loved the bright, neon colours of the era. It reminded him of his early punk years at the MIT or even before that. Shit. That was a long time ago now.
"Nothing like sex, drugs and rock and roll."

Date: 2020-11-15 02:07 pm (UTC)That was, hands down, the most intense and amazing thing he had ever experienced in his life. It was like... no, he didn’t really even have anything to compare it to.
His heart was racing. His entire body felt like it was on pins and needles, but in a good way. Colors were more vivid, sounds carried more weight, everything felt deeper, more beautiful and a thousand times more interconnected.
He was drunk off something he couldn’t even explain - and no, it wasn’t angel booze.
“The best?! That... that doesn’t even come close!! WOW!!!” He exclaimed as he wrapped an arm around Hiroki. It was meant to be a hug, but he was swaying enough that he was probably also leaning on him.

Date: 2020-11-15 02:07 pm (UTC)He had thought about wearing something wild but this was a night for Ziggy and his band. Lucifer isn't going to compete with that and so arrived in a clean lined classic black suit. He got some drink that arrived bright orange with edible glitter on the rim, of course this was what a drink at Ziggy's party would look like.
He's settled in on a bar stool, much better for accommodating large wings, to watch the concert and the people.

Date: 2020-11-15 02:15 pm (UTC)Balthazar sauntered over to where Lucifer stood, dressed in his rather smart suit. Of course he was smart, he was the devil. The angel pulled his scotch glass up to take a swig, offering the other man a playful smile. Nothing wrong with a bit of playful flirting, as both men were friends. All brought together by the two twins dominating the party. Jack dressed in his bright, alluring clothes, at least they were to Balthazar. His own wings concealed inside his suit for now, since they could always come out later when the night would no doubt get wilder. His eyes glancing towards Lucifer's drink with the glitter edge.
"What sort of drink have you got there? I swear there's something more in mine than just scotch."

Date: 2020-11-15 02:27 pm (UTC)"I am not sure." Lucifer looked at the drink in a margarita glass that was obviously not frozen but shockingly neon orange. "Grenadine, Triple sec, and cherry edible glitter... I think it is rum based with whiskey in it?"
Lucifer was sipping as he spoke while trying to put a list to the drink. His eyes move over to the person with the eye patch. "Is that Jack?"

Date: 2020-11-15 02:33 pm (UTC)He didn’t feel like a poor thing. Quite the opposite, in fact!
“Oh my WOW!! Is this... words, what are words again? You? Every day? THIS?!”
no subject
Date: 2020-11-15 02:36 pm (UTC)"...yes?"
no subject
Date: 2020-11-15 02:43 pm (UTC)"It refers to my dad's last space mission." He tells the guy in the suit. But the smile turns to laughter.
"I'm not helping you get laid tonight but if you want a hit we've got something to take the edge off."
no subject
Date: 2020-11-15 02:47 pm (UTC)“...woaaaaah.”
Minoru was oblivious to the glow. But he did seem to relish in the warmth as he hung onto Hiroki. Hopefully the spray colors he used on his hair weren’t smearing all over Hiroki’s face.

Date: 2020-11-15 02:51 pm (UTC)Tony turned to the kid and wondered who he was. Hey, this was a party so no doubt Ziggy had invited the whole Nexus. Always a good thing that way to meet new folks and talk about interesting topics. Mars and spiders being one of them. Tony was a pretty open-minded guy so listening to what this young guy had to say might be enlightening to say the least.
"I'm just curious is all."
no subject
Date: 2020-11-15 02:55 pm (UTC)They had ran about wildly since early in the morning. There had been all the best things; food, coffee, drugs, shopping, and now a party. "This suit feels nice."
no subject
Date: 2020-11-15 02:57 pm (UTC)"So, you're Ziggy Stardust, huh? I love the suit, man. Seriously, I used to collect vinyls in my youth, still got some actually. Black Sabbath being some of my hard-core music porn. Your stuff though? Seriously loving the punk rock vibe."
Sipping some of his drink, Tony allowed his eyes to grace the brightly coloured musician before raising an eyebrow at Ziggy's offer.
"A hit? Are we talking magic mushrooms here? Because I stopped doing those back in my twenties. Also, getting laid. Yeah. I've mastered the art of that too."
no subject
Date: 2020-11-15 03:06 pm (UTC)"There you are." He comes right up to Hiroki and kisses him happily. "I'm glad you could see me play if if you can't come with me like I wanted."
no subject
Date: 2020-11-15 03:10 pm (UTC)"So you've made your piece of your Reality come to me. You spoil me, Princess Ziggy. I don't deserve you."
"Well, at least you deserve me. Your choice, after all. I'm so spoilt now."
Hah. Truly is.
"Hey, you know, that other piece, Stay, it was... I don't know. I'm not sure what I even wanted to say, right now, but definitely something, Zigg..."
Hiroki shakes his head.
"Nevermind. I love you. You know? So, so much..."
"And I'm not sure what I wanted to say. Maybe later."
"And. And when you sang that song about your life, you know, Ziggy Stardust, I, I just wanted to run on onto the stage and hug you, I stopped myself somehow, but next time you have a concert, I'll just. Run there and hug you, because you... you.. you... Ziggy..."
There are tears in Hiroki's eyes now.
"How can fate be so cruel to you when you're so good...?"

Date: 2020-11-15 03:11 pm (UTC)"I've got a collection back home; Stones, Doors, a lot of the old blues, some punk." Ziggy smiles. "I've got mine on vinyl. I like the sound better than the more modern technology."
Probably some nostalgia ingrained in him by his father too. "What's your poison?" Ziggy asks as he lets go of his hand and motions for him to come over toward the merch table. "I've got some stuff from my mom's culture but I'm not sure how it...." No he knows exactly what it does. He's seen his father get loopy on it.
