Mugsy Malone was confident. Suave. Sophisticated. Dangerous, too, and the girls all loved it.
Colby was none of those things, but tonight he had to act like he was.
Like Mugsy was.
Damn, acting is hard.
Evelyn had helped, definitely, and he was glad for the extra practice. It made an already terrifying situation a bit more tolerable. It was still uncomfortable, but he was talking with more confidence, talking with more confidence, and exuding the aura of a successful mobster.
He ordered a Southside--that was Capone's drink, he'd read--and leaned on the bar as he drank. Mugsy didn't approach. He was approached with caution and respect and, most of all, fear.
And he observed. It was his job, after all. His eyes were everywhere, on everything, and as he took stock of everyone in the room, he knew that he owned them.
In a way, he even owned Nick.
Colby smiled, polished off his drink, then ordered another.

This years Murder Mystery is Hollywood inspired by the ravishing era of the 1920’s. As you can see, this hotel has transformed into the corrupt, but very popular speakeasy known as The Midnight Club. The beginning of the night will begin in the bar; and I must say you all look ravishing in your costumes.

* RULES TO FOLLOW:
DO NOT POST A PARA/GIF CONVO UNTIL YOU SEE A POST FROM THE HOST ON THIS SIDE BLOG.
Unlike event paras, your character is allowed to be alone/away from other people during the para, meaning that his/her actions may not necessarily be seen or heard by others.
All paras will be in 'real time'. This means that your character cannot be in two places at once. It also means that everything your character does can be seen and heard by other characters.
All characters are expected to post an open starter para and since paras cannot overlap, it is important to make sure only one person replies to the starter para. For example, if A posts a starter para about spilling food on her clothes and B posts a reply para helping her get changed into new clothes,C cannot reblog A's starter para to help her get changed into new clothes because B has already done so.
To make sure such overlapping does not occur, a character who would like to reply to a particular starter must reblog the post immediately and add "OOC: I am going to reply this" so that everyone knows that the para has been reserved.
