Why Should the Devil have all the Good Music?

(Joint post from Jace Wayland Herondale, Lightwood, Whatever and Alec Lightwood-Bane.)

[When the broadcast begins, the video pans across the interior of the LUX nightclub. The space is lit enough to show the details of the speakeasy inspired decor but dim enough to give the impression of what the club will be like when it's open.

Eventually the feed stops on a blond playing Fur Elise at a grand piano. Alec sets his phone down, bracing it so that it has a clear view and won't move. He sits down beside Jace. He waits a few beats before accompanying his parabatai. The two of them begin playing a ragtime version of the song, each player pausing at certain points and the other easily picking up the melody. When they're finished, Alec turns toward the camera.]


A few months ago, Magnus and I opened up the LUX building for renters. We've been working on opening the nightclub on the main and basement floors, and we almost have everything ready. We're planning to make the club like the apartments, welcoming to those who have felt that they're different. This will be a safe place to enjoy themselves. Mostly I was thinking that this would be a place for beings who are supernatural but it'll be open to anyone who is willing to follow the rules and not cause trouble.

LUX is going to be a music club, but right now, I have only two performers. If you're interested in playing at the club, please contact either Jace or me and we can discuss setting up an audition.


[As Alec mentions the Lux being a safe place, Jace begins playing C Jam Blues. He’s definitely showing off and enjoying the jazz piece immensely. Right up until he hears his name and then he stops and leans in closer to Alec, eyes on the phone.]

Bring your own sheet music. Diversity is important. If you don’t have any musical talent don’t call me. Unless you’re hot and looking for date. Or you have some other talent. Like bartending or waiting tables.

[Scowling at Jace, Alec elbows his parabatai in the ribs.] You’re not the only one who’ll be holding auditions. I’m the owner, remember?

[Jace smiled and rubbed at his ribs for a moment before beginning a new piece. Moonlight Sonata.] You’re the boss. I just toss drinks and rule breakers.

And play the piano. [Shaking his head, he looks more amused than annoyed by Jace’s comments.] If anyone wants to audition or interview, let us know.



(ooc: If you prefer either Jace or Alec to answer, note which one you want to answer in the subject line or in the tag.)

[ Yuri's lips are pursed as the video begins, and for whatever reason he looks less impressed than someone who might be suggesting or interested in a job. Truthfully, Yuri just has a bad case of resting bitch-face- but hey. ]

My boyfriend is really, really talented- he DJ's three clubs in town right now. I don't know that he would have time, per se, to do live shows for your club, but I'm sure he could hook you up with some equipment discounts and like, mixes for the interim when you don't have live stuff, you know?

[ Yuri shifts, resting the hand not holding his phone on his knee, and his chin on his hand. ]

And as for me- I've never bar-tendered before. [ Or had a job at all that wasn't ice skating, really. ] But how hard can waiting tables be? [ At this, he rolls his eyes. ]

[minsu hasn't seen that much of lux building. mostly just the inside of sage's room, especially since the sickness hit. but if minsu doesn't recognize the video, he definitely recognizes the names that are being tossed out, names casually mentioned by the swamp witch from time to time.

a music club - that's good, minsu should definitely be well by the time it opens. music and dancing and drinking are all enjoyable, but he has a question of his own:]


Will there be a menu or just drinks?

Well, you already hired Jace. So there's bound to be trouble--soon or later.

:p

Ah, I'm not very good at cooking. But I know someone who'll probably want to dance there, and I want to dance with him.

[and dancing works up an appetite. though to be fair, breathing works up an appetite for minsu.]

Your paragraph should reconsider! You're going to have a bar, right? That means you should serve spicy foods, spicy! So people will buy more drinks.

I recommend hot wings.

Oh, that makes sense. I mean, not really all that much more than normal basic decency rules there.

[personal profile] talentedscavenger 2018-06-04 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Then what you mean to say is, you enjoy having trouble around you.

In slight seriousness, if you need help with anything, let me know?

[ Nobody is trying to make Yuri correct his resting bitch face, and honestly he doesn't really have any interest to do so anyway. It probably wouldn't help him get tips, though. ]

I'll see what I can do. He's the helpful type, for some reason. [ Yuri rolls his eyes, but there's the flicker of a slight smile at the corner of his lips; fond. ]

I guess that depends. Do I have to donate the blood? Because if so, hell no. Go find your blood cattle somewhere else. Otherwise? Tch, whatever. Vampire has to drink too, right? [ He didn't know until exactly this moment that Riverview might have real vampires- but honestly he can't even say he's all that surprised. He'd seen some weird shit, since showing up here... ]

If they want to brawl, I'm sure someone's got a fight club no one can talk about somewhere!

God. You know despite wearing the ring for months? Sometimes I still forget we're getting married. Like I can't believe how awesome it is.

Fiances.

How fuckin gay.

It won't be long, either. And yeah, really gay. That's the point.

Sorry to interrupt the romantic swooning of soon to be husbands, but is there a question here for either Alec or myself about a job or the club? I think I saw something about a DJ?

[personal profile] wayfaring_stranger 2018-06-07 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Did someone mention a fight club? [That would be Jace, poking his curious little nose into the conversation.] And why can't they talk about it?

[Well, if that username isn't a dead giveaway that she's 'different'...]

I can sing and at home I had a guitar.

So what you're saying is, you can't complain when you do find trouble? :P

If it doesn't harm anyone...maybe have Magnus use magic? It'll give you something else to work out and you won't be as stressed out.
11calls: yeah this won't come back to bite us in our ass (Wait play that again)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-06-07 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's from a movie back home. The joke of it is that the first rule of fight club is that no one can talk about it.

[Alex just explains it like she would anything else, and with no judgment for the fact that they didn't know what it was.]

Sorry. Yes. I am a DJ. I work for multiple clubs here. I can make a playlist - or at least hook you up with whatever you need.
