Dancing, Drinks and Drag ((Jim, Verity)

Hunter has been looking forward to this night for a long time. He has a table booked at his favorite Drag bar. He is looking forward to dressing up, and enjoying a few drinks with two of his favorite people. And he is sure that both Jim and Verity will enjoy a night out on the town.

Right now, Hunter is waiting in his New York apartment, where he is going to meet up with both Jim and Verity. It is the best place to get together, before heading out to the bar. Both Jim and Verity know his PINpoint coordinates. And besides, they don't have to navigate the Drag bar trying to find Hunter.

Tonight, Hunter is wearing a long gold dress. It is designed to show off his arms. And has a long exposed back. The look is completed with an elaborate head piece and deep, rich make-up that flatters his whole look.

He is excited to have Jim and Verity show up and to see their outfits.

Hunter knows that all of them have hard stories to tell. And it is true, that he doesn't struggle anymore, telling the story about Kendra, or how she changed his appearance.

"My two beautiful rule breakers." Hunter grins. He is going to lift Jim's hand to lightly kiss his knuckles.

"Could be it," Jim agrees, and despite the unhappy ending of his volcano story, he easily smiles fondly at Hunter. "Come on, you can't tell me you haven't done it too."

They're so cute. Ver smiles into some middle ground and looks over at the stage while they have their moment. She's suddenly interested in trying to guess how many sequins are on that dress.

"I have my own stories of breaking a few rules." Hunter arches his eyebrow slightly. "And you know, sometimes you just have to get out of your comfort zone."

The performance on the stage is getting close to the finale, where they invite people onto the stage. Hunter smiles. "Like tonight."

He stands, winking at Jim and then Verity, and then heads to the stage. He is quickly pulled up onto the stage, among a few others, to enjoy the last dance of this performance.

"Guess that's my cue," Jim says dryly, looking over at Verity. "You okay to watch the table for us?" He's pretty sure the answer is yes, given the don't-expect-me-up-on-stage signals she's been giving off, it just seems polite to ask.

Hunter's move surprises her, but she's proud of him for being brave and gives him a thumbs-up with the smile that answers his wink. Then she gives Jim a nod and a smirk. "You kidding? How'm I gonna blackmail you two if you don't get up on stage?"

It isn't really blackmail if she doesn't post it online, right?

Hunter is more than overjoyed when Jim does make his way up to the stage too. And he is able to give him a welcoming hug, before one of the Drag Queens claims him as a dancing partner. Another Drag Queen holds out her hand to Jim.

The music is nice and upbeat. Great to dance to. And there is lots of room on the stage that even with extra people up there, it is not overcrowded.

Around the restaurant, the Drag Queen waitresses are delivering fudge brownies to the tables. And extra little something, to end the night.

The better question is, is it really blackmail if at least one of the subjects has zero problems with being seen in public like this?

Jim laughs at Verity's answer, and touches two fingers to his brow in a brief salute before heading up to join the others on stage. It's been a while since he's danced, but his body hasn't forgotten how, easily tuning in to the rhythm of the music and the motions of the other danceers.

Another of her dreams dashed. Life is so unfair.

Ver leans back, setting her phone to record the scene and then leaning it between some glasses so it keeps steady. They're good dancers and she doesn't mind the chance to enjoy the show. Not even fudge brownies can distract her right now.

Hunter would appreciate the fact that this moment was videotaped. Not so it could be used as blackmail... but so it could be a keepsake memory.

And he just enjoys himself on the stage. Dancing like there is no one watching him, which is just nice to do again. It has been a while since he danced like this. And when the song ends, and people return to their tables, Hunter reunites with Jim. He takes Jim's hand, returning to table.

"This was a great night. Thank you. Both of you."

"Hey, I should be thanking you," Jim protests with a smile. It's been good to get out of the house and away from Starfleet, and all his worries at home. He's been through the wringer lately and it's been nice to just be able to relax and have a good time, without worrying about his duty getting in the way.

Hunter will be getting a copy of the video by morning. (She's not sure how to get one to Jim.)

"Yeah, you're the one who arranged everything." Ver turns off the camera on her phone and puts it away again. "Thank you."

She sees the way they're holding hands. Time for her to give them some privacy. "Will you two be okay getting back on your own?"

"We still have the car, to come get us." Hunter reassures her. That way he and Jim can have a few more drinks, if they want, without worrying about driving under the influence.

"Thank you for coming." He releases Jim's hand, so that he can give Verity a hug of appreciation.

They're still not quite up to hugging levels of familiarity, Jim feels, unless she makes a move first. So he does the next best thing. "You want a brownie for the road?" He'd be willing to let her have his; the only thing better than having food is sharing it, after all.

She'll take the hug from Hunter and nods at the reassurance. They've got it covered and are too smart to wander off while they've got targets n their backs. "Thanks for inviting me. This was definitely an experience I never expected."

Jim's offer gets a smile and a shake of her head. "You enjoy, but thanks." Not quite up to hugs yet, these two, but she'll give his shoulder a fond squeeze. "Have fun and remember to get home before everything turns to pumpkins."

She turns with a wave and heads out to let them enjoy the rest of the night alone together.

[Great scene everyone! Thank you!]

[Thank you too! :D]

[Thanks to you guys too! :D]
