Video: UN: hotgoss

WHO: Zulius
WHERE: Network
WHEN: 23 May
WHAT: Announcing the Vogue's pride event!
WARNINGS: It's Zulius, there's always a chance comments will skew into innuendo.



[The video feed turns on and it's everyone's favourite zebrataur! Maybe because he's the ONLY zebrataur, but that's just a detail. This time however, Zulius has decided to do this in drag- something that will be blatantly obvious why soon]

Hellloooo beautiful people! Your Resident Ten is here with some FABulous news for new month. As MOST of you should know, June is the best month all year because it's Pride. [There's definitely a show of rainbows with a little wave of her hands here. You know. For effect. ] The city always does a parade which apparently some people are "Too Much" to take part in anymore, but that's fine because The Vogue is where it's gonna BE next month! Because it's FABULOUS SEASON!

SO! Every night and weekend we've got a full-on Pride Party in the bar. Our bar staff have been working on some INSANE cocktails, and we've got a dancing space and everything. All drinks sales in June are divvied up between a bunch of small LGTBQA+ charities around the city, so why wouldn't you get wasted? It's for charity! I'm expecting people to have the time of their lives, because it's OUR month. [Is that a thinly veiled threat to have a good time? A little.] For the first three weeks of the month our resident thespians are putting one some great queer musicals before the party time for you all to enjoy! We got Fun Home (let's GO, lesbians!), Hedwig and the Angry Inch (because we gotta queer them genders!) finishing up with & Juliet (because everyone can agree Shakespeare is better with non-binary folks in center stage). You'll for SURE see some folks you know in the production, so you go and support your friends and fam!

[She claps her hands excitedly.]

Buuuuuuuuuuut the BEST thing that's going down, and the reason the glorious Zu-Zu Electric Boogaloo is here today is that the last week will be a drag competition that anyone is allowed to enter. Queens and kings! We're talking design challenges, we're talking Snatch Game, we're talking lip synching for your liiiiiife. It's gonna be sickening. Winners gets a cash prize of $5,000, so come on and give this a try. You never know, you might learn something about yourself!

Aaaaaand as a general FYI, the Vogue'll be closed for the first week of July. My staff need some paid vacay time after Fabulous Season to take a break- and I mean actually take a break and relax looking directly at you, Takame Kesi and THIS bitch needs to go for Fire Island for the Invasion of the Pines. Even if I have to fed-ex myself there.

[[OOC: There will be a player-event log for the Vogue's Pride celebrations going up next month- look out for it! Image credit]]

Ah. I see.

[Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck nope nope can't-]

Good luck to the competitors then.

So I see! Sounds like it'll be a fun time!

[Luz hadn't ever thought of joining pride before, because there was really no one she could do that with. The lack of friends on earth had made that something she just quietly celebrated online. Having her first girlfriend had made Luz very aware of how much harder it might be for other queer kids who would want their own safe space to share stories and maybe find someone special themselves].

"Too extra?" That's a thing?

[Luz didn't like how judgmental that sounded. Certainly, she didn't like the implication of what that might mean].

Hmm. True. And if they don't...someone could sure start one themselves, right?

[He sighs a little, seeing that Zulius is trying to help]

It's not the dressing in drag that part that worries me, I've done plenty of that. It's just the public performance part that worries me.

[All those eyes on him...gah his skin is crawling just thinking about it

But he pauses like that]


You mean like, a queen that'd only show up on a video screen? Like a shut-in on zoom?

He once bought me donuts when I wrote him a really bad poem. So...

[ HE'S HELPING. ]

A cash prize of five grand, you say...?

[ Kaveh no ]
a_cute_batata: (heck yeah)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2023-05-27 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It's also the start of summer, so that's bound to attract more people!

[And that meant festivals and food and probably lots of kids her age with free time, now that school was likely over]!

Which is a totally normal reaction to being excluded. If they won't let you party your way, make them WANT to.

[Luz approved of these antics. It's something she knew Eda would totally do, if she were into planning a celebration and was pushed out of it].

Right?! I just need to find a place to gather, see what kinda stuff kids around here are into, and then have some gatherings take place! I'll see if I can get music, some snacks...maybe even a movie night!

Assuming things don't go strange, like they do sometimes.

I'm not sure if he LIKES bad poetry, but. I'm definitely not a poet so it was pretty grade-school, what I wrote.
I'm sure you'd do ten times better.
a_cute_batata: (assured)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2023-05-27 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Actually, I better get some new outfits, now that you said that.

[It was a good thing her mom (and Eda) taught her to be self sufficient that way].

Ooh, those are all great ideas! I could even ask if they'll let me arrange a dance! That's bound to get people interested! Do you know any good LGBTA charities that we could donate to?

[If she had a fee, then the money could go there too]!

You have a point. Since when is strange stuff stopping me? I'll bet it wouldn't stop you, right?

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2023-05-28 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm aware of that. I've tried all the tips you find online...don't really help.

[But that...does sound like an interesting solution. He has no idea who John Travolta is, but he'll try asking someone else later. Or Google. Google always helps. ]

There certainly sounds like an interesting work around...but would it cost you extra to set that up?

Let's goooooooooooooo!

[ It's important to note that she is literally at work and taking her break right now so not only is this response extremely redundant but Zulius gets to hear it in stereo. She Kind Of Yelled. ]

Man, I had no clue they did parades and events for this kinda thing nowadays! The future is lit!
a_cute_batata: (not bothered)

[personal profile] a_cute_batata 2023-05-30 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder if I can get a cape? A new one, anyway.

[She'd still keep her 'witches wool' cape since that one was from Eda and was special].

Great, thanks! Now all I have to do is find a place to host and convince them to help me spearhead a few fun nights!

[Luz was pretty sure she could convince someone to do it, the trouble would be getting the space, she imagined].

Hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I'd say that beats out most strange things if that's how you just wake up.

[Moxxie also came to mind].

[Wait. Something we can put a pin in? Like, it's something Zulius plans to revisit? Oh. Oh Jesus we're really in it now.

But instead of addressing what could be his future, he'll focus on now]


I see. Well still...I really appreciate the gesture. Thank you.

I'll try to think over a concept, and let you know by the end of the day if I come up with anything, okay? That should give enough time for preparation on my end.
