Dancing At The Gypsy Lounge (open)

[DrStein]

OOC: I thought I'd try my hand at running an open thread. Any storyline you wish to pursue with anyone you want is fine, just make sure they're cool with it (which really should go without saying).

Naturally, just have fun with it.

And yes, I did name this thread after The Gypsy Lounge by The Clarks. I'm from Pittsburgh, what can I tell ya.

The Coyotes are:

Logan Masters - Bass, lead vocals
Steve Byram - guitar
Jake Stillwater - drums
Katie McNeil - keyboards
... - trombone
... - trombone
... - trumpet
... - saxophone

"And I don't know the future
But I know my way"

Logan crooned out the last lyrics to the song and the music wound to a gentle close. He was the lead singer and bassist of The Coyotes, his band he had formed two years ago to play ska. The band got their name from two things. The first was Logan's voice which sounded much like their namesake. He could bark out break-neck fast lyrics or croon and howl more low-key ballads.

The other was his eclectic spirituality. Dabbling in a number of Pagan beliefs, Logan eventually came to embrace among other things American Indian totemism. His own totem animal was, what else, the coyote.

The band also had a guitarist, drummer, keyboardist, and a horn section of two trombones, trumpet, and saxophone. They played regularly at The Gypsy Lounge and were local favorites. Logan was one of the most recognizable regulars to the club. He stood out not only for his music, but his rugged looks and penchant for sleight of hand. Indeed, he was a man of many talents.

He took his bass over to the back room that the band used to store their gear and stowed it back in its case. He headed back out and took a seat at the bar. "Yo! Slide in ICB my way."

"ICB?" the bartender asked, slightly confused.

"I'm guessing you're new here. I never drink alcohol right after a show. I get dehydrated up on stage. ICB is my favorite brand of root beer."

The bartender nodded in understanding and fished out from the cooler the bottle he requested. He took a sip and turned around to survey the bar and the assembled patrons.

Lacey Renee Miller

young, 27 years of age, dark hair and eyes, nice fiqure with classic tits, married, although she considers herself a 'sports widow', recently she has started going out to clubs with her girlfriends once a week, since hubby does.



Tonight she was with her best friend, Tammi Briggs. Lacey had dragged her to the Gypsy Lounge because they had live entertainment, and last weekend she happened to catch a set the last set of a band called the Coyotes, when she had went to the lounge with her hubby. She had begged him to dance with her, but he wouldn't, of course, and she vowed to come back and bring her friends. They just LOVED to dance !

Not to mention, she thought the lead singer was HOT. He even smiled and seemed to stare at her last week, as they sat at a table up front. Thankfully, her husband didn't notice, he was intoxicated, as usual. Lacey had to admit, it gave her a thrill to have such a handsome and talented man pay attention to her out of so many other females in the bar.

They both were sitting at a table near the stage, and had danced several times, but Logan had not noticed her. They place was quite crowded. Lacey had dressed in a short, leather mini, black, seamed stockings and heels, with a white sheer blouse and no bra. That did not mean that she went unnoticed, a few other males did hit on her, but she ignored them, since she was not interested.

" Oh God, there he is ! " Lacey gushed and nodded towards the bar where Logan was standing.

" So, go talk to him, now is your chance. You've been swooning over him all night, acting just like a schoolgirl. " Tammi said, taking a sip from her drink. " I think the drummer is cute, though, myself."

" Excuse me, I need to use the ladies room. " Lacy smiled, getting to her feet, knowing she would have to walk right by him on the way there...

Steve Byram
190 6'1
black hair kept in dreadlocks hazel eyes

Steve is the guitarist for the Coyotes.He was discovered when Logan heard him play in a New York subway.He finished the song and put his guitar on stage.He walked over to Logan and sat at the bar stool next to him.He turned to the bartender and ordered an Dr.Pepper.He turned back to Logan andsaid to him

"Yo,did you see those chicks spying us over there?"

 

[DrStein]

"Damn straight," Logan responded. Logan noticed a particularly attractive woman about his age walk by him with a smile. She had obviously dolled herself up to play up her best features. He decided to play it cool though and merely smiled softly with a tip of his wide-brimmed hat. The hat was one of Logan's trademark characteristics. He was never seen in public without it.

"I'm thinking next week of adding a couple Sublime covers to the set. A good cover of What I Got would really get these crowds goin'. What do you think?"

 

[Black Thunder]

"That'd be great.That shouldn't be hard to learn.Yo, check out her friend."

Steve blew a kiss to Tammi.

"She has an incredible ass."

(Hope you don´t mind me joining)

Jake Stillwater (29 years old)

Jake is the drummer of The Coyotes. He have been with the band ever since Logan started it. He consider Logan his closest friend even as he likes the whole band, more or less. Jake is rather tall, standing 6´3" over the ground with an athletic body. His black hair is set up in a ponytail and his tanned skin tell he are of native american heritage.

Moving over to Steve and Logan he eyes the dark haired womans back as she moves past them. Smilingly he turns towards Logan. "I saw that she and her friend totally checked you out man." Ordering a beer from the bartender and then says to his mates. "How come it is always the singer and the guitarist that catches the eyes of the ladies?" He laughs quietly before taking a sip of his beer.

Lacey

Once inside the ladies room, she checks out her reflection in the mirror,brushes her hair and re-applies her lipstick. She realizes that her heart is still pounding wildly, just from looking at Logan close up. And he definately noticed me because he tipped his hat at me ! she thought excitedly. Perhaps he will offer to buy me a drink when I pass by on the way back to the table...or maybe I should approach him and start a conversation, then again, he might think I'm too aggressive.

Not sure what to do, Lacey did pick up an ice cube from her mixed drink and rubbed it all over her nipple, causing it to stiffen. Then she did the other one. Proud of herself, she opened the door and walked back out to the bar. Logan was now standing with the guitarist and the drummer, and so therefor she lost her nerve, and kept on walking, hoping they noticed...

Jake

Jake saw the woman come back from the ladies room. As she went past them he saw her look at Logan. To him she seemed a little dissapointed. He smiled widely towards her as she went over to stand with her friend again.

Jake turns to Logan, still with the smile on his lips. "Go and buy her a drink, why don´t you?" Looking over to the two women he adds. "If you wíll not do it, i might be tempted to do it myself." He winks to Logan. Taking a sip of his beer he smiles over to the women again.

 

[DrStein]

Logan laughed lightly. "Honestly Jake, you should know me well enough by know to understand that I don't do things the regular way. Observe, gentlemen."

Logan took his root beer and sauntered over to where the woman was sitting with her friend. "Excuse me, ma'am," he said light-heartedly. "I understand the power of my sex appeal, but I'm going to have to ask you to stop stalking me."

 

[PredatorX]

Jake

"Honestly Jake, you should know me well enough by know to understand that I don't do things the regular way. Observe, gentlemen."

Jake looked after his friend going towards the women. Smiling he casted a glance sideways towards Steve. "This could be interresting. I long for the day he make a fool of himself. Hope this is the day."

The noice in the bar was to loud for him to hear what Logan said but he could guess he would be kinda rude. Jake folded his arms and was about to enjoy whatever gonna happen next.

 

[angelique127]

Lacey

Lacey had just sat back down at the table with Tammi and crossed her legs, when she noticed Logan walking towards them.

" Excuse me ma'am, I understand the power of my sex appeal, but I'm going to have to ask you to stop stalking me. "

Tammi giggled, but Lacey appeared mesmerized for a second, as if she couldn't believe hewas actually speaking to her...

" I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. " Lacey admitted, regaining her composure, " Would you like to join us, or are you going to have me arrested ? "

 

[DrStein]

Logan seemed to think about it for a moment. "Well... I'll tell you what. You promise to stop stalking me and I'll join you. And don't either of you get any thoughts that I'll be paying your bartab to be a 'nice guy'. I don't even know either of you, and besides that... it's against my religion."

Setting his ICB down on the table he pulled out a chair and sat down beside Lacey. "I don't think I caught your names."

 

[PredatorX]

Jake

Damn it Jake thought smiling to himself. Logan was a lucky bastard. But hey that was one of the reasons he was so fun hanging with. Smiling to Steve he admitted. "Well. I am not surprised that he was invited to sit down, but i wan´t to be around the day it all blow up in his face."

Sipping his beer before saying. "If you excuse me mate, i need more amusing company." Holding his beer he walks over to the other table. Smiling to Logan and the ladies. "Are this seat taken?" Meant as a rhetorical question, he sits down next to Tammi before anyone replies.

 

[angelique127]

Lacey

Lacey was relieved when Logan took a seat next to her, he seemed more interested in her, instead of her blonde friend, Tammi, who usually attracted most of the male attention. It wasn't long before the drummer came over though and asked Tammi if the seat was taken.

" I don't think I caught your names. " Logan had inquired, before the interruption.

'' My name is Lacey, and my friends name is Tammi. " Dispite herself, she blushed, Logan was even better looking up close. Their was something about his eyes, they were so intense...when he looked at her, she felt as if she would simply melt. Lacey had not bothered to give him their last names either, or inform him that she was married. Every time she went out, without hubby, she always hid her ring inside her purse.

" Do you mean to say that drinking is against your religon ? " she asked, remembering what he had said as he sat down. Besides, he was holding a glass of what appeared to be soda. Before he could respond however, she continued, " I have to watch how much I drink, it seems if I have one too many...well...I tend to do things that I really shouldn't. "

Lacey stared directly into Logan's eyes...

 

[DrStein]

"Actually, it's against my religion to buy other people's drinks. If you want to buy me one on the other hand, that's fine."

Logan chuckled inwardly. Jake always chalked up Logan's way with people and women in particular to luck, but luck had nothing to do with it.

 

[PredatorX]

Jake

(OOC, we need more females for the thread, to play as Tammi or bring in a new char)

Smiling at Logans talk about never buy drinks to other peaple. He knew it was correct he never did. Some could see Logan as a jerk but Jake had known him to long to care.

Logan could be an asshole but so could most guys, Jake included. As Logan conversated with Lacey Jake said to Tammi. "Hello there, i have not seen you here before."

 

[Stegral]

time for tammi to play to

OOC: Jumping in to play Tammi
IC:

Jake said to Tammi. "Hello there, i have not seen you here before."

Grinning at this very nice looking man I reply " No, I haven't been in here before.. my girlfriend here told me I just HAD to come see this awesome band here with her & I am really glad I did now.. Please have a seat.." as I motion to the seat next to me looking at his eyes in a flirty kind of way as he sits down just as I invite him..
Regretting having overdressed for this as it was 'Lacey's' night out', I cross my legs as best I can in my 3/4 length leather skirt & flirtingly move my waist long auburn red hair from it's normal resting place across my chest to lay down my back... Leaning forward I show off my somewhat hidden 36 C chest as best I can in the black velvet shirt I wore tonight... When I dressed I thought the slit up the side of the skirt was nice & the laces down the front of the shirt looked sexy but not slutty.... I might be single but I like a guy that thinks with both heads, not just one.

 

[angelique127]

Lacey

Logan suggested that she could buy him a drink. Otherwise it was against his religon. As much as she thought he was a hot guy, Lacey wasn't about to buy him a drink ! After all, his band played here and she was sure that he probably got his drinks for free.

Lacey glanced over at her friend, Tammi was engaged with talking to the cute drummer. For a moment, she wished she could be more like her friend, so independant...it wouldn't be long before the drummer would probably be eatting from her hand !

" I'm sorry Logan, if you don't think I'm even worth buying a drink for..." she said cooly, thrusting out her chest, so he could see her assets...

Noticing her friend not getting her way as quickly as usual I wave a waitress over.... " Hey there how about a round for the table please... vodka cooler for me & whatever the rest want... is there a kitchen in the bar?? I would love some wings or mozza sticks" & hand her a $50 "this should cover it I would think?" It was so nice to be able to treat people once in a while... including myself !!

 

[DrStein]

Logan merely smirked. "So you actually value yourself in terms of free drinks?" He saw right through her blatant attempt to draw attention to her breasts and still obviously hard nipples, but spared her just little more than a glance. He was intent on being hard to get.

 

[PredatorX]

Jake

Smiling to Tammi not missing that she was flirting with him. He finished his beer when he heard Lacey. "I'm sorry Logan, if you don't think I'm even worth buying a drink for..." Good girl he thought to himself as he had to restrain from laughing. Looking back to Tammi he said "My name is Jake by the way and i could handle a tequila." Smiling to her he extends his hand for a shake.

 

[Stegral]

Tammi

Smiling to Tammi not missing that she was flirting with him. He finished his beer when he heard Lacey. "I'm sorry Logan, if you don't think I'm even worth buying a drink for..." Good girl he thought to himself as he had to restrain from laughing. Looking back to Tammi he said "My name is Jake by the way and i could handle a tequila." Smiling to her he extends his hand for a shake.

" Hi, Jake, My name is Tammi... some of my friends tease me & call me randi tammi.. is that tequila straight shots, or do you want another beer too as a chaser?"
I take the offered hand & give him a shake he will remember... I am fairly strong for a female...lol

 

[PredatorX]

Jake

"Well randi tammi, straight shots will be fine." He marveled at her strong grip when they shook hands. In his opinion, how you shook hands told alot about your person. Her shake told him she was an confident woman. "Quite strong are you, you work out?" With that he looked her up and down slowly with a sly smile on his lips.

 

[Stegral]

Tammi

"Well randi tammi, straight shots will be fine." He marveled at her strong grip when they shook hands. In his opinion, how you shook hands told alot about your person. Her shake told him she was an confident woman. "Quite strong are you, you work out?" With that he looked her up and down slowly with a sly smile on his lips.

Smiling at him I respond " I'm sorry, sometimes I forget myself, yes I do work out, but not at a gym... I have an odd job that does alot of heavy lifting... I bet as a drummer you have good rythm..." slowly taking my hand from his, allowing the touch to linger... "Do you dance?" I notice the waitress going to get the ordered drinks, hopefully she knows what to bring for Lacey & Logan..

 

[PredatorX]

Jake

"I sure hope i have rythm, or else i have chosen the wrong line of work." He loved music and had not regretted dropping law school for a chance to follow his passion. The complexity of playing drums fitted him perfectly as he had the rythm in his blood. Some say it is because of his indian blood.

"Do you dance?" Grinning slightly he responds. "I am known to dance on occation yes."
