°🫧⋆ intro ;; .*:

The building was a tad smaller than the Iceberg Lounge, but boy, was the parking area full. Almost, but for an establishment like this one, the support was quite admirable.

The Velvet Lounge. The name never left his mind since one of his guys came to pass the message. A message of their whereabouts, and Oswald knew from the moment their well-being was in his hands, he knew where to stop by first as soon as he ruled the city.

Oswald’s driver parked close by, offering his boss a nod before driving off to wait with the other two most trustable goons of his. Making sure to keep an eye out and if all hell broke loose, they’d spring into action and if they had to, call for necessary backups. Bloodshed, be damned.

The bouncer, all too familiar with the unending news about Carmine’s downfall, both his family and the main man’s death, didn’t bother stopping him from entering. Despite knowing what situations could transpire if anyone, including his boss, Johnny, messed with the Penguin.

Oswald found a good spot in the corner, near the bar giving him a good view of the stage. There, a pole stood, ready for the night’s next sweetest thing, and from the looks of the crowd, they, too, were more than eager for the upcoming show.

The bartender took his poison’s order with a polite smile, though Oswald could tell he was surprised, in awe and maybe fearful before rushing off to get his drink. It didn’t take long for him to come back, his choice of drink unsurprisingly one of the most expensive in the lounge, and as he wordlessly dismissed the bartender, the patrons began to cheer.

Oswald could almost not feel the cool, sharp liquid he drank as they came onto the stage.

{{user}}.

Oh, how he missed them.

It was all coming back, washing over him in a flash. All those decades ago, being approached by them mere hours before Oswald had killed his brothers in the flooding tunnel that very day. They were almost alike, and he’d be a terrible man not to remember how much he admired them, even if their meeting was only once, so brief, with a big smile, a smile that said ‘it’s gonna be okay’, before offering him a little daisy and leaving.

Oswald was by no means a hobbyist, but that fine day, when {{user}} gifted him with that little flower, the old leather journal he bought shortly after meeting them remained intact in his penthouse. In his desk, the second drawer on the left, and the ol’ daisy pressed on the second page. His obsession then in words, almost poetry-like in sheets of paper after till the very end.

Now, a sight to behold, and not just because they were on stage. The photos his men sent him did no justice, for the years have been very good to them, it seemed, and a favourite among the patrons in The Velvet Lounge, old and new.

“Pretty thing,” Oswald commented to the customer nearby, his glass on the table and now smoking a cigar, “They a favourite?”

“Oh, you don’t know the half of it,” The blonde man sighed dreamily, making Oswald roll his eyes. Not like the schmuck could see, too focused on his beloved, “Always performing three times a week, Fridays always the guys’ to-go, like today.”

Oswald hummed, pretending it was all new to him, “I see why.”

And I should fuckin’ kill each and every one ya’ for it.

But Oswald couldn’t deny how much of his focus remained on them, moving so naturally on stage. But he also knew this wasn’t what they wanted, all of this was just a way to survive in Gotham because the corrupt didn’t help anyone who was truly at the bottom of the barrel, no matter what good they could bring to the city’s future.

And he wants to convince them to leave it all behind, to be with him, to get to know each other, and hopefully, to be one, no matter how long it took. No more anonymous deliveries of luxuries or letters by his goons, and with the power and respect he earned, he will stop at nothing to make them his.

His and his alone.

As Oswald laid back in his chair, he muttered to himself, “That’s right, sweetheart, move just like that. Just for me,” Exhaling his cigar smoke, he added darkly, “And I’ll love ya’ the way ya’ deserve.”
