Pride Friday: OPEN
Who: Charlie, and OPEN for multiple threads
What: Wingbeat for Pride weekend
Where: Wingbeat
When: Friday 3rd July
Rating: NSFW probably

Wingbeat was already getting busy for the evening, and with both floors having undergone the same makeover there were assorted pride flags and banners stuck to the walls. A couple had stray political-type messages were on them, but mostly there were just rainbow-themed decorations. Because Charlie was Charlie there were also an assortment of pride flags, not just the rainbows most people were familiar with. He'd also made a point of getting bi, ace, pan, and trans pride flags. There were far less of them than the generic flags but he'd had compliments passed on to him from the staff from a few people, and someone had actually said to him it was good to see, completely unaware he was the owner. That had made him smile.

There was also glitter everywhere, very little of which had been provided by Wingbeat, well, outside of the sparkling fairy dust wands, and that glitter dissipated. They'd cleared up the previous night but it had all appeared again. Both floors were pounding to the beat of his two favourite DJs playing a mix of mostly upbeat music from both the magical and muggle world. There was quite the emphasis on Pride-type songs and known LGBTQ+ artists, but pretty much anything upbeat was happening.

As with the previous night he'd spotted a few people wincing at the noise as they entered downstairs and ducking quickly into the sound-dampened area with a look of relief.

Both bars were doing a pretty brisk trade in some of the cocktails and shots Charlie, Dominic and Genie had tried out. All the cocktails for the evening were rimmed with rainbow sprinkles and came with fairy dust 'wands' that meant there were sparkling drinks everywhere. Although a few people had just got rid of the extras right away or requested not to have them. Plus of course there was the usual trade in flirting via drinks with incredibly rude names, or dares to try and make the bar staff blush. Sadly for the punters most of them were now pretty immune, although there were one or two Charlie tended to have a reaction to.

Charlie and Open

Charlie had decided to dress for the Pride nights in a way that told his identity to people who knew what to look for, so he'd got a grey sleeveless t-shirt which showed off part of his shoulder tattoo, and a pair of his regular combat shorts that he'd transfigured purple along with his standard black boots. He's also taken extra care with charming his prosthetic, so instead of the regular pride-flag he did for LGBTQ+ nights he'd got it to shift between that and the Ace flag every few minutes. Of course his clothing also had the benefit of being pretty cooling in the close atmosphere of the club. Despite the magical equivalent of air conditioning the sheer volume of sweaty bodies and the weather outside combined to make it pretty warm. Plus the lack of staff uniform beyond a lanyard-like ribbon around his neck (and all the other staff) meant he was free to dress as he wanted within the general neat and tidy guidelines he enforced.

He was making the rounds of the club now though, having let the downstairs bar staff know he'd be back in a little while. It wasn't his break yet but he was still nodding along to the music as he did a quick sweep of the floor, navigating without too much trouble around the busy dancefloor by keeping to the edges. He was smiling, raising a hand to a few regulars who spotted him and waved or smiled at him.

Romilda waved to Charlie from her spot at the outskirts of the dance floor. She made her way to him and gave an approving nod to his relaxed Ace-pride outfit. She'd chosen a mini skirt and oversized, bright yellow blazer to represent pansexuality herself. "Tonight is amazing, thank you," she said, sincerely, knowing that Pride was important to both of their communities.

She finished her Italian Greyhound and set the glass on a passing server's tray with a smile of thanks. Looking to Charlie to said over the music, "Are you done your rounds yet? Escort me to the bar for another drink."
