Gathering: Halloween Gala

A large, decorative sign situated prominantly in the lobby reads:

The Nexus Hotel
proudly presents its
ANNUAL HALLOWEEN GALA

Formal Reception
Nexus Dining Hall
6 PM - Midnight

Monster Mixer
Nexus Basement
8 PM - 2 AM

Masquerade attire recommended for all guests


Most of the chairs have been removed from the Dining Hall to allow for ballroom-style dancing to the orchestra set up on the far end of the room. A polished cherry wood open bar is aligned along one wall. The adjacent Bistro is open for the duration of the formal reception, serving gourmet hors d'oeuvres.

Downstairs, the basement's largest storeroom has been converted into a spooky nightclub, complete with DJ, dance floor and cocktails.

"As opposed to a regular-sized Navy SEAL?" he quips. Hey, they've already established the 'asshole' part, no need to dwell really.

"Seriously," Danny agrees, nodding very seriously. "He towers above them like a towering pile of bricks with issues," he stresses. "Honest to god, you'd hear him coming. He practically vibrates vengeance and the American duty."

"And this guy - this SEAL - is something akin to a 'best friend', I take it?" he asks, more-or-less knowing the answer based on body language and the vaguely reverent way in which Danny describes said SEAL. Really, you can't be that annoyed with someone you don't like - not like that anyway.

Danny sighs heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose as he musters out a nod. "Against all my better judgment, yes, Steve McGarrett resembles my best friend, which I continually wonder what that says about me. Do I take it you got one of those for yourself, then?"

One eyebrow arches upward beneath the black hat. "A SEAL?" He shakes his head. "I am decidedly lacking in Navy SEALs, I'm sad to say."

If Danny is asking about friends, he may have to hang up and try his call again. Not that Harvey doesn't have friends, but that he doesn't much talk about them.

"Yeah, well, you can have this one when I get tired of him," Danny deadpans, seeing as he sometimes needs Steve-sized time-outs from his life otherwise those heart conditions his Ma warns him about come into play.

He wags a finger in a circle in front of him. "Aren't there rules about friends and giving them away or something?" Like, you're not supposed to. Associates, sure, you can toss those over to any ole co-worker, but friends? You're supposed to keep those, right?

"Hey, when a friend gets you shot and injured as much as this one has, you give them away wholesale," Danny says evenly, not exactly fond of the way Steve keeps getting him hurt. "Besides, we can play swapsies if you feel bad about it."

"While it is true that my associate isn't likely to get you shot, I'm not sure I want to trade. My busted out shoulder from high school is enough injury for me for the moment." Clearly, he takes Danny's point about BFF's that make sure you end up in the line of fire. Harvey would likely feel the same.
haolehothead: (let's be clear: by followtomorrow)

"Hey, I got a busted out knee injury from high school baseball," Danny says warmly, holding up two fingers to get a couple of beers down their way. "How'd you injure yours?"

[personal profile] notgivingyourmoneyback 2013-11-17 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Incoming beer will be highly welcome. No doubts there.

"High school baseball. Pitching." He might give Danny the side-eye for a moment. Though, really, sports are a pretty good way to bust something at any point in your life. "If not for that, I might be playing for the Yankees." Instead, he's a hot-shot attorney with a similarly insane cashflow.

"Yeah?" Danny's impressed with Harvey to new degrees, now, and hell, the Yankees are his favorite, so there's a whole lot of pleased nodding going on here. "We should get a game going sometime on the lawn, see if we can't knock a couple balls into space."

"There's a lawn?" Clearly he needs to look around more. But the outdoors is never a bad thing.

"Maybe we should." He takes a pull from the beer put in front of him. "I hit .385 in high school. I could maybe crack one into space."
haolehothead: (sprawl)

[personal profile] haolehothead 2013-11-17 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but there's a lot of outer space around it, so maybe if there's a grand slam or anything else amazing involved, we might end up losing the ball to the universe," Danny deadpans, lifting up his beer when it shows up. "I was second base. .286, but I had hands of glue."

"Guess we'll have to get a steady supply of balls," he says and takes another pull from the beer.

Harvey nods. "Not bad," he says of Danny's stats. He could've done with a few more infielders with better catching skills. Not that the team wasn't good, but some of the guys needed stickier fingers.

"So, until we build our field of dreams out on the lawn, what do people do for fun around here when they can't leave?"

"Me? I leave," Danny says with a shrug. He knows it'd be cruel to rub it in anyone's face, but he currently has no issue opening a door and getting out of here. Maybe it's some universal apology for how the custody battle went down with Rachel.

"So, for fun, you just go back to your life?" Because that seems like an odd way to have fun. But, what does he know, he's stuck.

haolehothead: (happy days: by ?)

"When you barely get custody of your kid, you go back to spend as much time as you can with her," he points out. "Besides, there's people there I don't have here. Sometimes, home is the place to be."
notgivingyourmoneyback: Harvey dressed up in a black suit, red tie, hat for Halloween ([z-costume] The Spirit)

[personal profile] notgivingyourmoneyback 2013-11-20 05:34 am (UTC)(link)

"Can you bring her here?" He's been told by most people that time 'back home' stands still, so wouldn't bringing his kid here give him almost unlimited time with her?

haolehothead: (why don't you listen: by ?)

[personal profile] haolehothead 2013-11-21 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
"I tried, once," Danny admits. "She sort of stopped at the door, like she wasn't admitted because she didn't meet some kind of rule." Or the universe just hates Danny that much more, he actually doesn't know.

"Seriously?" Harvey growls in disbelief. "That's bullshit." He isn't sure what else to say on the matter, because, really, bullshit is about all he's got.

"Who did you piss off in a past life?" Not that Harvey believes all that much in karma, but for the world to shit on you that much, something must've happened.

haolehothead: (gnaw the lip: by ?)

[personal profile] haolehothead 2013-11-22 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
"That's the question I ask myself every day," Danny promises, faintly bemused that he's not the only one who's aware of how screwed he's been in the course of his life.

[personal profile] notgivingyourmoneyback 2013-11-22 05:31 am (UTC)(link)

Harvey shakes his head. "You should kick the world in the balls and bring your kid through anyway. Though, I have no idea how that would even work." He's not sure that it should work. He's not sure of much of anything with regards to this wacky place, to be perfectly honest.
