It's a small, smoky lounge, with wood paneling, a piano, and a small band. There is a stage where women with smoky eyes in elegant dresses occaisionally sing.Everything is made of polished wood, and the smell of cigars and pipe tobacco drifts around the bar. A small table sits dead center in front of the tiny stage, with a sign that says "VIP Only".Picture of the StageArmed Guards at the entrance contrast starkly to the old-fashioned decor, and weapon scanners are at the entrance. Auto-targeting minigun turrets hang from the ceiling in discreet locations to deal with any interlopers.Live Performances By Aracturus(and guest appearances) at 0200-0500, and 0600-0900 on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, the band plays without him.
[ 2015.02.09 02:51:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a seat on the side of the bar where she can listen to the music and see the doors. She orders a cocktail. She is wearing a long black dress with a high neck and long sleeves, trimmed in gold.
[ 2015.02.09 02:59:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a cocktail from the waitress and listens to the music.
[ 2015.02.09 03:00:31 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote steps into the Noir. glad to not fuss with any of the security thanks to his VIP status.
[ 2015.02.09 03:01:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly, surprised to see Roland Cassidy.
[ 2015.02.09 03:04:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens slightly in her seat.
[ 2015.02.09 03:04:59 ] Roland Cassidy > Dressed in uncharacteristic streetwear, a far cry from his typical military uniform he is more often seen in.
[ 2015.02.09 03:06:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's eyes widen slightly at the uncharacteristic attire.
[ 2015.02.09 03:10:22 ] Roland Cassidy > "Luna... how have youbeen?" He approaches her quietly. He appears far more lean than previous months at the Terrace. He looks harder, more focused somehow. Far more befitting his Civire heritage.
[ 2015.02.09 03:12:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "I am well... Mr. Cassi.. Roland. It's been a while!" She smiles.
[ 2015.02.09 03:14:16 ] Roland Cassidy > "It has. You look effervescent as always." He gestures to the seat next to him. "Mind if I join you?"
[ 2015.02.09 03:14:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh not at all!"
[ 2015.02.09 03:15:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns her full attention to Roland whenever he seats himself.
[ 2015.02.09 03:18:28 ] Roland Cassidy > "It's been a while since I've been here... well to be completely honest it's been a while since I've been anywhere." He orders a tea.
[ 2015.02.09 03:18:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You do seem, different, from the last time I've seen you."
[ 2015.02.09 03:19:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a meaningful glance over his clothes.
[ 2015.02.09 03:20:57 ] Roland Cassidy > "I've been walking a... different path as of late. took a fair amount of time away to assist in evacuating my colony from Tenal.... hard work under atmo is suprisingly hard on folks used to floating in amniotic nutrients."
[ 2015.02.09 03:25:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly, looking surprised. "YOu went planetside? Well that explains why you've been off the grid"
[ 2015.02.09 03:29:39 ] Roland Cassidy > "Well it's not the first time... and won't be the last. As soon as the settlement gets moved I expect to have boots on ground again trying to get the colony re-established. it's actually quite... nice."
[ 2015.02.09 03:33:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocktail. "I didn't realize you had to evacate Tenal. Was that your home?"
[ 2015.02.09 03:36:00 ] Roland Cassidy > My corporation had a change in alliances. *lifts his cup to the Fatbee paraphanalia behind the bar* "Tenal is Razor's home... not the Swarm."
[ 2015.02.09 03:37:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see. So you had to move into Goonspace?
[ 2015.02.09 03:40:37 ] Roland Cassidy > "I've not been in a hurry to venture to the nether regions of Deklein... Tenal was certainly on the edge of the known regions, but I was intimate with the region. I'd flown there for years before I'd considered getting into colonization efforts."
[ 2015.02.09 03:42:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocktail mulling over all that has happened in Roland's absence and wondering what, if anything, she should tell him
[ 2015.02.09 03:44:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well, I do hope the colonization is successful. Are you back in space for the forseeable future again?"
[ 2015.02.09 03:49:15 ] Roland Cassidy > "I think so. I've been staying out of fleet politics, working on mercenary contracts instead. It's kept me close to Black Rise, never too far from the Militia front."
[ 2015.02.09 03:50:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly "What sort of mercenary contracts? One can never know when a reliable gunfor hire is needed" She smiles slightly.
[ 2015.02.09 03:59:14 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote finishes his cup of tea quietly and sets it down. "The usual smattering, wormhole system eviction, minor engagements, Customs office destruction... some moon ownership revisions... I believe."
[ 2015.02.09 03:59:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. She glances at the stage for a moment before looking back at Roland "Have you been back to Cerra since you returned? There's been some changes...'
[ 2015.02.09 04:01:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly and quickly takes a sip of her dwinding drink
[ 2015.02.09 04:01:41 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote looks away for a moment. "No... I, well it just didn't feel like home without Kat. I'd been fooling myself about trying to get back into the good graces of the State."
[ 2015.02.09 04:02:35 ] Roland Cassidy > "It was time to put those thoughts away and focus on things I could change."
[ 2015.02.09 04:03:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. "Well.... " She speaks quickly "Imperial Outlaws disbanded, Shalee eloped with Tigerfish, and Katerine eloped with Reginald Sakikabara and is now known as Lady Sakikabar... So it is best to put those thoughts away...
[ 2015.02.09 04:04:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a quick drink of her cocktail again.
[ 2015.02.09 04:05:30 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote nods. "It
[ 2015.02.09 04:08:19 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote pauses. "It isn't a complete shock... she's a magnificent woman. Just not the woman for me."
[ 2015.02.09 04:09:16 ] Roland Cassidy > "To be completely honest the news of Tiger and Shalee is far more shocking... I thought they'd continue that dance of theirs for years to come."
[ 2015.02.09 04:10:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I am not sure what prompted it."
[ 2015.02.09 04:10:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "it was a complete surprise to me, although..."
[ 2015.02.09 04:11:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "There's a rumor he get someone pregnant around that time. Not sure if before or after the ceremony. Still, Shalee inisted he wear a chasity belt"
[ 2015.02.09 04:11:11 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote smiles wanely and orders a new cup of tea and a second round for Luna.
[ 2015.02.09 04:11:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am convinced it wasn't to show his love for her, but to make sure that didn't happen again. Oh to have been a fly on the wall..."
[ 2015.02.09 04:12:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs. 'Tigers will be tigers." She takes the second cocktail with an appreciative nod at Roland.
[ 2015.02.09 04:14:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I do think Shalee has that one whipped. Almost a pity to see one in captivity."
[ 2015.02.09 04:14:49 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote walks in and looks around.
[ 2015.02.09 04:15:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "In other news, Maria is now with PIE." She glances at Roland.
[ 2015.02.09 04:17:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her second cocktail.
[ 2015.02.09 04:17:11 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote makes her way to the bar where she sits down.
[ 2015.02.09 04:18:51 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote looks deep in thought. "It's sad to hear that ILAW is no longer... I hope Maria is still doing well."
[ 2015.02.09 04:20:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "the warzone is a disaster frankly. There's little coherence left in the Amarr militia except for PIE, Pyre your former corporation, and Amarrian Commandos and Battlemonks."
[ 2015.02.09 04:21:18 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote hesitates before ordering a Thukker whiskey and then almost guiltily adds asks for a Starsi as well.
[ 2015.02.09 04:22:52 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote glances down the bar at the mention of "Pyre" while she pours the whiskey into the Starsi.
[ 2015.02.09 04:23:57 ] Roland Cassidy > "And with Veik and myself now in the swarm I'd have to think that Pyre isn't really as strong as they ought otherwise be." He looks up and catches Jennifer's glance offering a nod and smile.
[ 2015.02.09 04:25:26 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote raises her glass in response with a slightly puzzled expression on her face.
[ 2015.02.09 04:25:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns her head, noticing Jennifer. She gives a hesitant smile.
[ 2015.02.09 04:26:15 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote starts to sip her drink and chokes in surprise.
[ 2015.02.09 04:26:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Do you two know each other?" she asks Roland.
[ 2015.02.09 04:28:49 ] Roland Cassidy > "No... but recall I'm now a charming rogue mercenary captain. Flashing a smile to pretty women at seedy bars is a perk." He laughs a little, and it's easy to see that it's genuine but not completely truthful. The news of Kat a tough blow to recoverfrom
[ 2015.02.09 04:29:27 ] Jennifer Starfall > Lu... Ms. Asp...
[ 2015.02.09 04:31:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles "Hello Jennifer, come join us."
[ 2015.02.09 04:31:49 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote picks up her drink and moves down the bar to join Lunarisse and Roland.
[ 2015.02.09 04:32:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Roland Cassidy, this is Jennifer Starfall and vice versa.
[ 2015.02.09 04:32:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly as she sips her cocktail.
[ 2015.02.09 04:32:56 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote gives both people a flustered look and falls back on social norms and extends her hand, "Um... hi."
[ 2015.02.09 04:35:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly "So far the main headliner hasn't been on stage tonight, but the music is always pleasant here."
[ 2015.02.09 04:37:48 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote takes her hand quietly. The tall civire nods to her. "Just Roland, Ms. Starfall."
[ 2015.02.09 04:38:16 ] Jennifer Starfall > Uh... Jenna.
[ 2015.02.09 04:39:50 ] Roland Cassidy > "Jenna then." He looks over to Luna. "Oh tell me Archurus isn't still strutting about?"
[ 2015.02.09 04:40:08 ] Roland Cassidy > (*edit Aracturus)
[ 2015.02.09 04:40:17 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote looks at Lunariasse, "Um.... you look... uh.. what are you drinking?
[ 2015.02.09 04:40:23 ] Aracturus > /emote struts into the noir
[ 2015.02.09 04:41:47 ] Roland Cassidy > "Ah... as if on que... See the peacock... acting as if he owns the joint.... oh... wait." He stands up. "Old bear, you haven't lost the deed in any card games lately have you?"
[ 2015.02.09 04:42:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The house cocktail, it is quite good."
[ 2015.02.09 04:42:35 ] Jennifer Starfall > Will it get me drunk?
[ 2015.02.09 04:42:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote has a slight flush to her appearance "if you have more than one that is a definite outcome"
[ 2015.02.09 04:43:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stands and cursties slightly to Aracturus.
[ 2015.02.09 04:45:00 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote nods, gulps down the rest of her drink and orders one of the house cocktails.
[ 2015.02.09 04:45:41 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote sips his tea. "Lets put it this way... I stay away from anything with a straw in this place. They hit you like a set of 1400's"
[ 2015.02.09 04:46:13 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote looks around to see which drinks have straws.
[ 2015.02.09 04:46:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her drink through the straw impishly.
[ 2015.02.09 04:46:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Silly Roland.
[ 2015.02.09 04:48:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I think you mentioned your skillbook procedure went well, Jennifer?" She is seated again and trying to engage in friendly banter.
[ 2015.02.09 04:49:32 ] Aracturus > /emote chuckles
[ 2015.02.09 04:49:35 ] Aracturus > I never gamble
[ 2015.02.09 04:49:48 ] Aracturus > Besides - I own the ship/
[ 2015.02.09 04:51:20 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote looks slightly deflated at the question, "Yeah, went great. I can even fly an Astero now."
[ 2015.02.09 04:51:27 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote observes the dregs in his cup. "Well then apparently... he does own the place ladies." He stands to offer Aracturus a handshake. "It's good to see you old friend."
[ 2015.02.09 04:52:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote purses her lips slightly in a puzzled expression, expecting jennifer to seem more happy about it. "Lovely ships! I just trained this week to fly my own. Maria sent me a pair after she joined PIE."
[ 2015.02.09 04:54:12 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote takes several gulps of her drink, "I still have to get fully acclimated to it. The headaches are still bad."
[ 2015.02.09 04:55:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They handle amazingly. I am sure the heaches will pass..."
[ 2015.02.09 04:55:08 ] Aracturus > /emote shakes rolands hand
[ 2015.02.09 04:56:01 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote nods.
[ 2015.02.09 04:56:56 ] Jennifer Starfall > Nothing a few drinks can solve.
[ 2015.02.09 04:58:02 ] Roland Cassidy > "Bah if the Sisters knew how to build a proper ship they'd have slapped missile launcher ports on it and painted it grey." He disengages with Aracturus and moves over to his seat next to Luna
[ 2015.02.09 04:58:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Jennifer a slight glance at that remark. But doesn't comment.
[ 2015.02.09 04:58:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly to Aracturus "Will we be graced by your presenceon stage tonight?"
[ 2015.02.09 04:59:39 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote orders a second cocktail with extra straw.
[ 2015.02.09 05:00:42 ] Aracturus > /emote wanders out again
[ 2015.02.09 05:01:02 ] Roland Cassidy > "I admire your courage... not your common sense, but certainly your courage Jenna. He looks back down at his empty tea cup, measuring weather or not he intends on partaking in some libation.
[ 2015.02.09 05:01:32 ] Jennifer Starfall > What's that supposed to me?
[ 2015.02.09 05:01:35 ] Jennifer Starfall > *mean
[ 2015.02.09 05:01:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs lightly as she sees Aracturus go.
[ 2015.02.09 05:02:26 ] Aracturus > /emote returns
[ 2015.02.09 05:02:46 ] Aracturus > Sorry to say you will not, Lady Aspenstar. I'm not even supposed to be here.
[ 2015.02.09 05:02:48 ] Roland Cassidy > "Drinking like fish at The Noir often has unintentional but drastic consequences... I've seen some very unusual pairings walk out this door."
[ 2015.02.09 05:02:57 ] Aracturus > I'm on vacation with the missus.
[ 2015.02.09 05:03:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "A pity but I am sure she deserves your undivided attention attention." She smiles. " Well... a pleasure to see you as always. Do have a pleasant time." She adds politely to Aracturus."
[ 2015.02.09 05:04:47 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote shrugs, "Can't be any worse."
[ 2015.02.09 05:04:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Roland a light smirk, remembering some see's seen.
[ 2015.02.09 05:06:14 ] Aracturus > /emote leaves
[ 2015.02.09 05:08:30 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote takes a long sip of her drink and turns to Lunarisse.
[ 2015.02.09 05:08:40 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote watches Aracturus exit. "I do believe I'll join you two..." He orders a bottle of saki and a highball of thukker whiskey to play catchup.
[ 2015.02.09 05:09:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says to Roland "I think there's a saying, what happens in the Noir, stays in the Noir."
[ 2015.02.09 05:10:28 ] Jennifer Starfall > I have to admit, Luna, I'm surprise to see you in a place like this, drinking such yummy drinks and looking this sexy.
[ 2015.02.09 05:11:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles lightly. "The music is good, and the drinks are good. Besides, I had some business out this way."
[ 2015.02.09 05:11:26 ] Roland Cassidy > "Oh?"
[ 2015.02.09 05:12:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Null sec ores and minerals of course." She says matter of factly. "Among other things" she adds offhandedly.
[ 2015.02.09 05:14:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly, without defensiveness "A lady should want to look pretty every now then?"
[ 2015.02.09 05:14:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *and then
[ 2015.02.09 05:15:03 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote sighs. "Yeah. I guess."
[ 2015.02.09 05:16:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly "You seem a little down, Jennifer. Do you want to talk about it or just listen to the music?"
[ 2015.02.09 05:16:36 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote looks over to Jenna. "You seem a bit more down in the mouth than having a skillburn headache."
[ 2015.02.09 05:16:45 ] Roland Cassidy > (damn you luna for beating me to the punch!)
[ 2015.02.09 05:17:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > ((giggles))
[ 2015.02.09 05:22:14 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote looks into her cup. "Cass left me 2 nights ago, and earlier today we screamed at each other in the middle of the Elysion. And right now, I don't to feel anything because it's too easy to start hating myself again."
[ 2015.02.09 05:22:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns "That is difficult. I am sorry to hear."
[ 2015.02.09 05:23:00 ] Roland Cassidy > "Ah... well I can understand that. I wrote the book on losing yourself in a bottle for a bit."
[ 2015.02.09 05:25:06 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote looks guiltily at both.
[ 2015.02.09 05:26:23 ] Jennifer Starfall > I've inflicted my crap upon enough people. Just be my friend and have some drinks with me and listen to some music."
[ 2015.02.09 05:26:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "It's sometimes better to step back and take break and notthink about it for a while." she nods.
[ 2015.02.09 05:27:41 ] Roland Cassidy > "Buck up. The alcohol's cheap here. The company is mostly harmless outside of their capsules." He offers a smile. "Besides inflicting yourself on others beats floating in zero g, drinking rotgut in Vale of the silent for two years..."
[ 2015.02.09 05:28:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocktail and glances at the stage.
[ 2015.02.09 05:28:39 ] Roland Cassidy > "Though the benefits of being a emotionally crippled hermit seemed fairly seductive at the time, I'd say I wouldn't recommend it looking back."
[ 2015.02.09 05:29:11 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote winces at that last.
[ 2015.02.09 05:32:05 ] Roland Cassidy > "You can comisserate with me." He pours the first shot of sake, lifting it up. "Not every day you discover one of your ex's is happily married."
[ 2015.02.09 05:33:47 ] Roland Cassidy > He pauses and thinks for a moment as he fills the next shot. "Unless you're very promiscuous... then I imagine it might be more common but less harsh of a realization."
[ 2015.02.09 05:34:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles softly. "Well...Katerina settling down was a surprise for all of us."
[ 2015.02.09 05:34:48 ] Jennifer Starfall > My last relationship was over five years ago.
[ 2015.02.09 05:35:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns her attention to the music, sipping her drink quietly, fading into the background of the conversation.
[ 2015.02.09 05:37:32 ] Roland Cassidy > ( Some background music because why not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6O2ncUKvlg )
[ 2015.02.09 05:38:56 ] Roland Cassidy > "Half a decade is a fair amount of time to have someone on your mind."
[ 2015.02.09 05:39:41 ] Jennifer Starfall > I forgot about him.
[ 2015.02.09 05:42:41 ] Roland Cassidy > "Thats tough... especially in our none too delicate condition. Do you know why I've fought as in many wars as I have?" He looks over to her. "It's because people don't forget easily... it's a hard thing to do properly."
[ 2015.02.09 05:49:25 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote rolls her eyes. "Great, another 'never forgive, never forget' sabre rattler."
[ 2015.02.09 05:50:26 ] Roland Cassidy > "Nah.. not me. Too exhausting. Press on. Try to make the best of where you're at." He pours a shot for himself and her as well.
[ 2015.02.09 05:51:04 ] Roland Cassidy > "So what started the argument today?"
[ 2015.02.09 05:55:06 ] Jennifer Starfall > I said I didn't want to talk about it.
[ 2015.02.09 05:58:01 ] Jennifer Starfall > What do you know about Pyre?
[ 2015.02.09 06:03:22 ] Roland Cassidy > "A fair amount... I flew with them for a while, trying to earn my way back into the graces of the State. Veikitamo Gesakaarin and I go back to our early days in the Caldari Navy. She's got good taste in cigars and signed me on with them for a while."
[ 2015.02.09 06:04:38 ] Jennifer Starfall > That's a pretty emotionally charged association.
[ 2015.02.09 06:05:53 ] Roland Cassidy > "I won't say the choice wasn't affected by a desire for me to get closer to a lady friend... but as often happens, circumstance is the bedfellow of being willing to try new approaches." He grins
[ 2015.02.09 06:12:05 ] Jennifer Starfall > Mmm.
[ 2015.02.09 06:16:13 ] Roland Cassidy > "Why do you ask?"
[ 2015.02.09 06:17:04 ] Jennifer Starfall > I flew with Pyre for a short time.
[ 2015.02.09 06:22:43 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote nods. "Not a bad crew... I just couldn't be tied down to one place myself."
[ 2015.02.09 06:29:53 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote nods.
[ 2015.02.09 06:30:06 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote finishes the saki.
[ 2015.02.09 06:30:32 ] Jennifer Starfall > It's been nice meeting you, Roland.
[ 2015.02.09 06:35:58 ] Roland Cassidy > "You as well Jenna. Hope your night goes better than your day."
[ 2015.02.09 06:38:14 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote smiles, "Thank you."
[ 2015.02.09 06:39:56 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote nudges Lundarisse, "Do you mind walking me back to my shuttle." She smiles as Lunarisse agrees and they head out of hte bar.

The GDV-27 Tempered Resolve is currently in orbit around: YA0-XJ IV This is the Noir Lounge, located aboard the GDV-27 Tempered Resolve. It's a small, smoky lounge, with wood paneling, a piano, and a small band. There is a stage where women with smoky eyes in elegant dresses occaisionally sing.Everything is made of polished wood, and the smell of cigars and pipe tobacco drifts around the bar. A small table sits dead center in front of the tiny stage, with a sign that says "VIP Only".Picture of the StageArmed Guards at the entrance contrast starkly to the old-fashioned decor, and weapon scanners are at the entrance. Auto-targeting minigun turrets hang from the ceiling in discreet locations to deal with any interlopers.Live Performances By Aracturus(and guest appearances) at 0200-0500, and 0600-0900 on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, the band plays without him.
[ 2015.02.09 02:51:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a seat on the side of the bar where she can listen to the music and see the doors. She orders a cocktail. She is wearing a long black dress with a high neck and long sleeves, trimmed in gold.
[ 2015.02.09 02:59:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a cocktail from the waitress and listens to the music.
[ 2015.02.09 03:00:31 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote steps into the Noir. glad to not fuss with any of the security thanks to his VIP status.
[ 2015.02.09 03:01:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly, surprised to see Roland Cassidy.
[ 2015.02.09 03:04:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens slightly in her seat.
[ 2015.02.09 03:04:59 ] Roland Cassidy > Dressed in uncharacteristic streetwear, a far cry from his typical military uniform he is more often seen in.
[ 2015.02.09 03:06:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's eyes widen slightly at the uncharacteristic attire.
[ 2015.02.09 03:10:22 ] Roland Cassidy > "Luna... how have youbeen?" He approaches her quietly. He appears far more lean than previous months at the Terrace. He looks harder, more focused somehow. Far more befitting his Civire heritage.
[ 2015.02.09 03:12:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "I am well... Mr. Cassi.. Roland. It's been a while!" She smiles.
[ 2015.02.09 03:14:16 ] Roland Cassidy > "It has. You look effervescent as always." He gestures to the seat next to him. "Mind if I join you?"
[ 2015.02.09 03:14:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh not at all!"
[ 2015.02.09 03:15:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns her full attention to Roland whenever he seats himself.
[ 2015.02.09 03:18:28 ] Roland Cassidy > "It's been a while since I've been here... well to be completely honest it's been a while since I've been anywhere." He orders a tea.
[ 2015.02.09 03:18:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You do seem, different, from the last time I've seen you."
[ 2015.02.09 03:19:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a meaningful glance over his clothes.
[ 2015.02.09 03:20:57 ] Roland Cassidy > "I've been walking a... different path as of late. took a fair amount of time away to assist in evacuating my colony from Tenal.... hard work under atmo is suprisingly hard on folks used to floating in amniotic nutrients."
[ 2015.02.09 03:25:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly, looking surprised. "YOu went planetside? Well that explains why you've been off the grid"
[ 2015.02.09 03:29:39 ] Roland Cassidy > "Well it's not the first time... and won't be the last. As soon as the settlement gets moved I expect to have boots on ground again trying to get the colony re-established. it's actually quite... nice."
[ 2015.02.09 03:33:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocktail. "I didn't realize you had to evacate Tenal. Was that your home?"
[ 2015.02.09 03:36:00 ] Roland Cassidy > My corporation had a change in alliances. *lifts his cup to the Fatbee paraphanalia behind the bar* "Tenal is Razor's home... not the Swarm."
[ 2015.02.09 03:37:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see. So you had to move into Goonspace?
[ 2015.02.09 03:40:37 ] Roland Cassidy > "I've not been in a hurry to venture to the nether regions of Deklein... Tenal was certainly on the edge of the known regions, but I was intimate with the region. I'd flown there for years before I'd considered getting into colonization efforts."
[ 2015.02.09 03:42:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocktail mulling over all that has happened in Roland's absence and wondering what, if anything, she should tell him
[ 2015.02.09 03:44:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well, I do hope the colonization is successful. Are you back in space for the forseeable future again?"
[ 2015.02.09 03:49:15 ] Roland Cassidy > "I think so. I've been staying out of fleet politics, working on mercenary contracts instead. It's kept me close to Black Rise, never too far from the Militia front."
[ 2015.02.09 03:50:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly "What sort of mercenary contracts? One can never know when a reliable gunfor hire is needed" She smiles slightly.
[ 2015.02.09 03:59:14 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote finishes his cup of tea quietly and sets it down. "The usual smattering, wormhole system eviction, minor engagements, Customs office destruction... some moon ownership revisions... I believe."
[ 2015.02.09 03:59:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. She glances at the stage for a moment before looking back at Roland "Have you been back to Cerra since you returned? There's been some changes...'
[ 2015.02.09 04:01:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly and quickly takes a sip of her dwinding drink
[ 2015.02.09 04:01:41 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote looks away for a moment. "No... I, well it just didn't feel like home without Kat. I'd been fooling myself about trying to get back into the good graces of the State."
[ 2015.02.09 04:02:35 ] Roland Cassidy > "It was time to put those thoughts away and focus on things I could change."
[ 2015.02.09 04:03:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. "Well.... " She speaks quickly "Imperial Outlaws disbanded, Shalee eloped with Tigerfish, and Katerine eloped with Reginald Sakikabara and is now known as Lady Sakikabar... So it is best to put those thoughts away...
[ 2015.02.09 04:04:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a quick drink of her cocktail again.
[ 2015.02.09 04:05:30 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote nods. "It
[ 2015.02.09 04:08:19 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote pauses. "It isn't a complete shock... she's a magnificent woman. Just not the woman for me."
[ 2015.02.09 04:09:16 ] Roland Cassidy > "To be completely honest the news of Tiger and Shalee is far more shocking... I thought they'd continue that dance of theirs for years to come."
[ 2015.02.09 04:10:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I am not sure what prompted it."
[ 2015.02.09 04:10:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "it was a complete surprise to me, although..."
[ 2015.02.09 04:11:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "There's a rumor he get someone pregnant around that time. Not sure if before or after the ceremony. Still, Shalee inisted he wear a chasity belt"
[ 2015.02.09 04:11:11 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote smiles wanely and orders a new cup of tea and a second round for Luna.
[ 2015.02.09 04:11:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am convinced it wasn't to show his love for her, but to make sure that didn't happen again. Oh to have been a fly on the wall..."
[ 2015.02.09 04:12:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs. 'Tigers will be tigers." She takes the second cocktail with an appreciative nod at Roland.
[ 2015.02.09 04:14:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I do think Shalee has that one whipped. Almost a pity to see one in captivity."
[ 2015.02.09 04:14:49 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote walks in and looks around.
[ 2015.02.09 04:15:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "In other news, Maria is now with PIE." She glances at Roland.
[ 2015.02.09 04:17:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her second cocktail.
[ 2015.02.09 04:17:11 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote makes her way to the bar where she sits down.
[ 2015.02.09 04:18:51 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote looks deep in thought. "It's sad to hear that ILAW is no longer... I hope Maria is still doing well."
[ 2015.02.09 04:20:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "the warzone is a disaster frankly. There's little coherence left in the Amarr militia except for PIE, Pyre your former corporation, and Amarrian Commandos and Battlemonks."
[ 2015.02.09 04:21:18 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote hesitates before ordering a Thukker whiskey and then almost guiltily adds asks for a Starsi as well.
[ 2015.02.09 04:22:52 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote glances down the bar at the mention of "Pyre" while she pours the whiskey into the Starsi.
[ 2015.02.09 04:23:57 ] Roland Cassidy > "And with Veik and myself now in the swarm I'd have to think that Pyre isn't really as strong as they ought otherwise be." He looks up and catches Jennifer's glance offering a nod and smile.
[ 2015.02.09 04:25:26 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote raises her glass in response with a slightly puzzled expression on her face.
[ 2015.02.09 04:25:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns her head, noticing Jennifer. She gives a hesitant smile.
[ 2015.02.09 04:26:15 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote starts to sip her drink and chokes in surprise.
[ 2015.02.09 04:26:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Do you two know each other?" she asks Roland.
[ 2015.02.09 04:28:49 ] Roland Cassidy > "No... but recall I'm now a charming rogue mercenary captain. Flashing a smile to pretty women at seedy bars is a perk." He laughs a little, and it's easy to see that it's genuine but not completely truthful. The news of Kat a tough blow to recoverfrom
[ 2015.02.09 04:29:27 ] Jennifer Starfall > Lu... Ms. Asp...
[ 2015.02.09 04:31:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles "Hello Jennifer, come join us."
[ 2015.02.09 04:31:49 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote picks up her drink and moves down the bar to join Lunarisse and Roland.
[ 2015.02.09 04:32:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Roland Cassidy, this is Jennifer Starfall and vice versa.
[ 2015.02.09 04:32:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly as she sips her cocktail.
[ 2015.02.09 04:32:56 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote gives both people a flustered look and falls back on social norms and extends her hand, "Um... hi."
[ 2015.02.09 04:35:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly "So far the main headliner hasn't been on stage tonight, but the music is always pleasant here."
[ 2015.02.09 04:37:48 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote takes her hand quietly. The tall civire nods to her. "Just Roland, Ms. Starfall."
[ 2015.02.09 04:38:16 ] Jennifer Starfall > Uh... Jenna.
[ 2015.02.09 04:39:50 ] Roland Cassidy > "Jenna then." He looks over to Luna. "Oh tell me Archurus isn't still strutting about?"
[ 2015.02.09 04:40:08 ] Roland Cassidy > (*edit Aracturus)
[ 2015.02.09 04:40:17 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote looks at Lunariasse, "Um.... you look... uh.. what are you drinking?
[ 2015.02.09 04:40:23 ] Aracturus > /emote struts into the noir
[ 2015.02.09 04:41:47 ] Roland Cassidy > "Ah... as if on que... See the peacock... acting as if he owns the joint.... oh... wait." He stands up. "Old bear, you haven't lost the deed in any card games lately have you?"
[ 2015.02.09 04:42:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The house cocktail, it is quite good."
[ 2015.02.09 04:42:35 ] Jennifer Starfall > Will it get me drunk?
[ 2015.02.09 04:42:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote has a slight flush to her appearance "if you have more than one that is a definite outcome"
[ 2015.02.09 04:43:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stands and cursties slightly to Aracturus.
[ 2015.02.09 04:45:00 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote nods, gulps down the rest of her drink and orders one of the house cocktails.
[ 2015.02.09 04:45:41 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote sips his tea. "Lets put it this way... I stay away from anything with a straw in this place. They hit you like a set of 1400's"
[ 2015.02.09 04:46:13 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote looks around to see which drinks have straws.
[ 2015.02.09 04:46:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her drink through the straw impishly.
[ 2015.02.09 04:46:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Silly Roland.
[ 2015.02.09 04:48:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I think you mentioned your skillbook procedure went well, Jennifer?" She is seated again and trying to engage in friendly banter.
[ 2015.02.09 04:49:32 ] Aracturus > /emote chuckles
[ 2015.02.09 04:49:35 ] Aracturus > I never gamble
[ 2015.02.09 04:49:48 ] Aracturus > Besides - I own the ship/
[ 2015.02.09 04:51:20 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote looks slightly deflated at the question, "Yeah, went great. I can even fly an Astero now."
[ 2015.02.09 04:51:27 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote observes the dregs in his cup. "Well then apparently... he does own the place ladies." He stands to offer Aracturus a handshake. "It's good to see you old friend."
[ 2015.02.09 04:52:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote purses her lips slightly in a puzzled expression, expecting jennifer to seem more happy about it. "Lovely ships! I just trained this week to fly my own. Maria sent me a pair after she joined PIE."
[ 2015.02.09 04:54:12 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote takes several gulps of her drink, "I still have to get fully acclimated to it. The headaches are still bad."
[ 2015.02.09 04:55:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "They handle amazingly. I am sure the heaches will pass..."
[ 2015.02.09 04:55:08 ] Aracturus > /emote shakes rolands hand
[ 2015.02.09 04:56:01 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote nods.
[ 2015.02.09 04:56:56 ] Jennifer Starfall > Nothing a few drinks can solve.
[ 2015.02.09 04:58:02 ] Roland Cassidy > "Bah if the Sisters knew how to build a proper ship they'd have slapped missile launcher ports on it and painted it grey." He disengages with Aracturus and moves over to his seat next to Luna
[ 2015.02.09 04:58:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Jennifer a slight glance at that remark. But doesn't comment.
[ 2015.02.09 04:58:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly to Aracturus "Will we be graced by your presenceon stage tonight?"
[ 2015.02.09 04:59:39 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote orders a second cocktail with extra straw.
[ 2015.02.09 05:00:42 ] Aracturus > /emote wanders out again
[ 2015.02.09 05:01:02 ] Roland Cassidy > "I admire your courage... not your common sense, but certainly your courage Jenna. He looks back down at his empty tea cup, measuring weather or not he intends on partaking in some libation.
[ 2015.02.09 05:01:32 ] Jennifer Starfall > What's that supposed to me?
[ 2015.02.09 05:01:35 ] Jennifer Starfall > *mean
[ 2015.02.09 05:01:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs lightly as she sees Aracturus go.
[ 2015.02.09 05:02:26 ] Aracturus > /emote returns
[ 2015.02.09 05:02:46 ] Aracturus > Sorry to say you will not, Lady Aspenstar. I'm not even supposed to be here.
[ 2015.02.09 05:02:48 ] Roland Cassidy > "Drinking like fish at The Noir often has unintentional but drastic consequences... I've seen some very unusual pairings walk out this door."
[ 2015.02.09 05:02:57 ] Aracturus > I'm on vacation with the missus.
[ 2015.02.09 05:03:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "A pity but I am sure she deserves your undivided attention attention." She smiles. " Well... a pleasure to see you as always. Do have a pleasant time." She adds politely to Aracturus."
[ 2015.02.09 05:04:47 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote shrugs, "Can't be any worse."
[ 2015.02.09 05:04:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Roland a light smirk, remembering some see's seen.
[ 2015.02.09 05:06:14 ] Aracturus > /emote leaves
[ 2015.02.09 05:08:30 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote takes a long sip of her drink and turns to Lunarisse.
[ 2015.02.09 05:08:40 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote watches Aracturus exit. "I do believe I'll join you two..." He orders a bottle of saki and a highball of thukker whiskey to play catchup.
[ 2015.02.09 05:09:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says to Roland "I think there's a saying, what happens in the Noir, stays in the Noir."
[ 2015.02.09 05:10:28 ] Jennifer Starfall > I have to admit, Luna, I'm surprise to see you in a place like this, drinking such yummy drinks and looking this sexy.
[ 2015.02.09 05:11:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles lightly. "The music is good, and the drinks are good. Besides, I had some business out this way."
[ 2015.02.09 05:11:26 ] Roland Cassidy > "Oh?"
[ 2015.02.09 05:12:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Null sec ores and minerals of course." She says matter of factly. "Among other things" she adds offhandedly.
[ 2015.02.09 05:14:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly, without defensiveness "A lady should want to look pretty every now then?"
[ 2015.02.09 05:14:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *and then
[ 2015.02.09 05:15:03 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote sighs. "Yeah. I guess."
[ 2015.02.09 05:16:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly "You seem a little down, Jennifer. Do you want to talk about it or just listen to the music?"
[ 2015.02.09 05:16:36 ] Roland Cassidy > /emote looks over to Jenna. "You seem a bit more down in the mouth than having a skillburn headache."
[ 2015.02.09 05:16:45 ] Roland Cassidy > (damn you luna for beating me to the punch!)
[ 2015.02.09 05:17:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > ((giggles))
[ 2015.02.09 05:22:14 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote looks into her cup. "Cass left me 2 nights ago, and earlier today we screamed at each other in the middle of the Elysion. And right now, I don't to feel anything because it's too easy to start hating myself again."
[ 2015.02.09 05:22:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns "That is difficult. I am sorry to hear."
[ 2015.02.09 05:23:00 ] Roland Cassidy > "Ah... well I can understand that. I wrote the book on losing yourself in a bottle for a bit."
[ 2015.02.09 05:25:06 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote looks guiltily at both.
[ 2015.02.09 05:26:23 ] Jennifer Starfall > I've inflicted my crap upon enough people. Just be my friend and have some drinks with me and listen to some music."
[ 2015.02.09 05:26:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "It's sometimes better to step back and take break and notthink about it for a while." she nods.
[ 2015.02.09 05:27:41 ] Roland Cassidy > "Buck up. The alcohol's cheap here. The company is mostly harmless outside of their capsules." He offers a smile. "Besides inflicting yourself on others beats floating in zero g, drinking rotgut in Vale of the silent for two years..."
[ 2015.02.09 05:28:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocktail and glances at the stage.
[ 2015.02.09 05:28:39 ] Roland Cassidy > "Though the benefits of being a emotionally crippled hermit seemed fairly seductive at the time, I'd say I wouldn't recommend it looking back."
[ 2015.02.09 05:29:11 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote winces at that last.
[ 2015.02.09 05:32:05 ] Roland Cassidy > "You can comisserate with me." He pours the first shot of sake, lifting it up. "Not every day you discover one of your ex's is happily married."
[ 2015.02.09 05:33:47 ] Roland Cassidy > He pauses and thinks for a moment as he fills the next shot. "Unless you're very promiscuous... then I imagine it might be more common but less harsh of a realization."
[ 2015.02.09 05:34:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles softly. "Well...Katerina settling down was a surprise for all of us."
[ 2015.02.09 05:34:48 ] Jennifer Starfall > My last relationship was over five years ago.
[ 2015.02.09 05:35:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns her attention to the music, sipping her drink quietly, fading into the background of the conversation.
[ 2015.02.09 05:37:32 ] Roland Cassidy > ( Some background music because why not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6O2ncUKvlg )
[ 2015.02.09 05:38:56 ] Roland Cassidy > "Half a decade is a fair amount of time to have someone on your mind."
[ 2015.02.09 05:39:41 ] Jennifer Starfall > I forgot about him.
[ 2015.02.09 05:42:41 ] Roland Cassidy > "Thats tough... especially in our none too delicate condition. Do you know why I've fought as in many wars as I have?" He looks over to her. "It's because people don't forget easily... it's a hard thing to do properly."
[ 2015.02.09 05:49:25 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote rolls her eyes. "Great, another 'never forgive, never forget' sabre rattler."
[ 2015.02.09 05:50:26 ] Roland Cassidy > "Nah.. not me. Too exhausting. Press on. Try to make the best of where you're at." He pours a shot for himself and her as well.
[ 2015.02.09 05:51:04 ] Roland Cassidy > "So what started the argument today?"
[ 2015.02.09 05:55:06 ] Jennifer Starfall > I said I didn't want to talk about it.
[ 2015.02.09 05:58:01 ] Jennifer Starfall > What do you know about Pyre?
[ 2015.02.09 06:03:22 ] Roland Cassidy > "A fair amount... I flew with them for a while, trying to earn my way back into the graces of the State. Veikitamo Gesakaarin and I go back to our early days in the Caldari Navy. She's got good taste in cigars and signed me on with them for a while."
[ 2015.02.09 06:04:38 ] Jennifer Starfall > That's a pretty emotionally charged association.
[ 2015.02.09 06:05:53 ] Roland Cassidy > "I won't say the choice wasn't affected by a desire for me to get closer to a lady friend... but as often happens, circumstance is the bedfellow of being willing to try new approaches." He grins
[ 2015.02.09 06:12:05 ] Jennifer Starfall > Mmm.
[ 2015.02.09 06:16:13 ] Roland Cassidy > "Why do you ask?"
