Some Very Cool Space Club; Out in Space; Dimension FH-001; Saturday Evening [07/20].

On Wednesday, Summer had learned that today was Harley's birthday, and Harley had learned that there clubs in space, and so naturally, the two of them were putting one and one together and taking Harley out to go space clubbing for her birthday, because, like, obviously.

And also dragging Atton with them, because hilarious. And the crossover between people who were apparently supposed to think he'd been iced in space and those who knew for a fact that he hadn't been was very slim, and Summer was going to take advantage of those spheres aligning as much as possible.

So there they were, in a space club. It was very cool, but also very space-y, especially in the fact that they were in the minority as far as looking distinctly human went, the music was crazy but had a good beat you could definitely dance to, and literally every single drink glowed, because that's what drinks just did in space clubs, duh. And even though Summer didn't know Harley too well at this point, she felt it was a good idea to at least let the bartender know that they were working with human digestion here and to restrict accordingly, but also she'd arranged for a special birthday drink with, like, cool space sparkles or whatever, to be brought out to her at some point.

But, either way, it was definitely more interesting that just hopping to the mainland, and they'd taken her ship here, too, so if this club ended up sucking, they could just head somewhere else instead. But she'd always had good vibes at this one, and there was a minimum of people likely to drop in that might also facilitate a hasty exit.

[[ mostly for the birthday girl and that old man, but, hey, you wanna be at a random space club, get in contact, nudge yourself into an invitation, I'm so not gonna complain....too much. And NFB for distance, obvi ]]

"Well," said the old and deeply paranoid man who appreciated their dedication to making sure nobody accidentally found out he wasn't iced in space after all, "At least this seems like the kind of place where they won't give us something fatal to humans just for shits and giggles. Or to give us shits and giggles."

It was early days, though. And this place was only giving him knock-off nostalgia.

What? No one said there weren't shitty places in the GFFA, too. This one just looked a little squeaky, that was all.

"No problem," Atton said easily, with an idle shrug and the easy smile that, these days, was actually easy. "I like Harley. And after dragging you out to my neck of the woods like half the summer, it'd be stupid not to sort-of return the favor."

Sort-of in that it wasn't Summer's neck of the woods technically, but also actually in that in many ways the multiverse was Summer's backyard anyway.

Harley had pregamed at home just a tiny bit (with tequila, because of Reasons), but that just meant she seemed extra jazzed to be there. Not that she really needed any help with her usual levels of excitement, but, yanno. Her birthday, she got to be extra bouncy, practically vibrating in place, if she wanted to!

Just like she could also wear her most eye-searingly glittery getup (a lotta sequins, and QUINN emblazoned across the back of her jacket in tightly-clustered stick-on diamonds), because if you couldn't do that on your birthday, then when could ya?

"Ooooooh," she cooed with a sense of great awe as she watched someone pass by with one of the glowy drinks. "D'you think those'll make your pee glow too?"

Harley Quinn, everybody!

"I'd take giggles!" Harley announced. Because of course she would. "Shits? Eh, maybe not, but it is a normal bodily function, so I've had worse."

"Will do!" Harley decided, and so earnestly, to boot. Right before turning her attention on the bar and all the possibilities of good, glowy drinks it held. "Ya got any good recs? You are pretty good at the drinks back home..."
suitably_heroic: (lsp: i see how it is!)

"You'll have to torture me in return, then," Atton said merrily. "I really hate free food and relaxation, by the by."
suitably_heroic: (lsp: oh you know)

[personal profile] suitably_heroic 2024-07-20 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but probably also not the best way to celebrate a birthday," Atton said, giving her an amused wave. "Oh, happy birthday, by the way."

"Thank you!"

That was loud and cheerful and complemented by a giant grin. Also kind of bouncy, but everything Harley said or did right now was.

"I didn't know if you'd actually come."

"Oh, I won't!" Harley assured her, while completely side-stepping her slight dislike of green these days because it was her birthday and Mr. J wasn't going to get to touch this. So she was stepping up to bar and flagging down the bartender to follow it up with, "Yes, hi, I'd the... Glazy-- Gliz-- whaaat was it, Summer?"
suitably_heroic: (lsp: heyyy there)

[personal profile] suitably_heroic 2024-07-20 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why wouldn't I?" Atton said, his own answering smile only a little perturbed in the face of Harley being so-- Harley. "Two of my favorite women want me to come along on a birthday club night? I'm game."

Oh, Atton, you just wait until Harley got proper drunk and started oversharing!

Right now, though, she blinked at him.

"... Am I really that high in the rankings, or is your life just really sad?"

[personal profile] suitably_heroic 2024-07-20 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Atton eyed her. "Do you always ask for receipts when someone pays you a compliment, or am I just special?"
suitably_heroic: (dsp: woah.)

[personal profile] suitably_heroic 2024-07-20 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ehhh, let's just start this responsibly with a Coke," Atton said, casting a glance from her to over where Harley was. "Because I have a feeling you two are going to drink me under the table if I'm not careful tonight."
suitably_heroic: (dsp: really?)

[personal profile] suitably_heroic 2024-07-20 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Whatever the local soft drink is, I don't actually care," Atton said. "Just as long as it's not Fanta. Or, space, Mountain Dew."

"I'm just surprised!" Harley replied, spreading her hands. "I get to do that, it's my birthday!"

She was going to be using that one a lot.

(Also, no, sadly he wasn't special. In this regard.)

Harley perked up, impressively enough considering she was already plenty perky. "Ooh, I like mess!"

Was anyone surprised?

"Maybe I'll have one of those next."
suitably_heroic: (dsp: whaddayawant?)

[personal profile] suitably_heroic 2024-07-20 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Atton shook his head. "Okay, one, I'm taken, so not sad," he said, "Two, I know a lot of women. Some of them I like, some of them I don't, you wound up on the list of the ones I really like, so you're 'one of my favorite women'. Can you live with that?"
totalwildcard: (pos: 075)

[personal profile] totalwildcard 2024-07-20 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sure!" Harley said. She could beam about it, too! At least for the two seconds before another thing she needed to say overtook it, complete with an eye roll: "Although bein' taken does not automatically mean someone's life is not sad, take it from me."

Not getting into that, but just saying.

Anyway, her expression was brightening back up again already, with a big ol' smirk and raised eyebrows. "But, taken by who? What? Gossip!"
