Adam Bal (General Borax)
Location: Dance Floor > Aquarium Hallway Dice Roll: 4, 9 Where the ******** was he going to get away from the duPont heir before he called him out? Did he care? Not really. Perhaps that was why he ended up running into a much shorter woman. A much more energetic woman. Someone who was very eagerly presenting him with a filled glow stick. He desperately wanted to pull at more of that energy himself, able to tell she was absolutely brining with it-- Was her friend, too? "Truly a wonder of technology, isn't it?" asked Adam, warmly, as he casually took the greyed glow stick from Damaris. He had something better for her. A fresh one. This was not like his usual draining activities, but perhaps if he could stack enough of these on the same person, it could be. It would have brought a smirk to his face. Instead, he suppressed that with a cordial smile. "There's plenty of those where that came from! You can keep admiring the fish and the glow, and the volunteers and the workers can keep resupplying that glow for you. Truly wonderful."

Corrupt Aoede Melody Sharp Location: Lobby Dice Roll: 10, 1 "True enough, at least I can get away with things because I'm not Aloysius." It was the one upside that came from the split and divorce before everything else had gone to s**t, there weren't the same expectations of her and she could socialize and meet or greet almost anyone. Even as she got a bit more control of things thanks to Liam as the middle man to her brother, she still could go here with the same sort of excuse Alexandre was giving. "The jellyfish are nice, they remind me almost of something I saw a a resort once. But this is just the lobby and I plan on looking around the rest as the night goes on." Giving a sly little smile, she noticed Lorcan and wondered if any other of Alexandre's cousins might be here. If she was lucky maybe she might get more than a bonus from this night, not that the money offered was really anything to her. "I can't say I half expect it to happen but we'll see. René might have to be the one to carry him off because I know neither of us can lift him with how aggressively tall he is." Sleet Tempest Snape still with the group for now

General Benitoite Alexandre Evans Location: Lobby - moving further inside. Dice Roll: 6 "No, I don't have a place like that in my family. But no one outside of my family would know that. I can always make suggestions though..." So it wasn't a lie either. He could say he was looking ito things for his family because he could make suggestions to those who had power, how could make investments in a business. So it was nearly the same thing and counted for him. Noticing how Rene seemed off for a moment Alexandre followed his gaze and spied Lorcan. "He's...with someone." At least it seemed like it, but since when was his cousin seeing anyone? Since when did Lorcan even come to a club, mission or not? This wasn't his sort of place at all.
"I like the jelly fish as well, I'll be seeing the sights as we work the crowd and make sure everyone remains entertained." And holding onto a working glowstick, as he'd be changing those things out as quickly as he could for people. "Rene might but I have a feeling my petite souris will be drunk himself by nights end." And he'd be doing everything in his own power to keep Rene upright and get him to the car. Lucky for the both of them he didn't drink so he'd be a safe driver, they'd get home safely, he was certain Lorcan would as well as he was fairly certain his cousin didn't drink either.
"Shall we head further inside and start making our rounds?" A look to his partner, a smile. "You have fun on the dance floor, grab me when your ready for a dance, I'm sure you'll find out who's with Lorcan later." Tugging gently on Rene's arm to pull the other along with him.

Corrupt Miyamoto Kioshi Amamiya Location: Lobby Dice: 5 While Lorcan looked professional, or at least classy, Kioshi looked quite the opposite. It was a constrast of sorts looking from one to the other, in so many ways, but he wasn't uncomfortable standing at the others side as he glanced about. The decor was nice, really creative and nice, if it wasn't for the bright lights he would find the gears and robotic like fish fascinating. He found the idea of steam punk, he hadn't known the name for the subculture at first, fascinating and the designs and ideas attractive as he liked seeing how things worked. The gears and the duller metals used, brass and bronze, copper even, it was all attractive in a way. This was just that but with bright lights and a modern take on it all as far as he figured it. Even if that wasn't entierly the case.
"At least we don't stand out too much." Or at all, some female was walking by him in barely any clothing. It did gain a raised brow as they walked by but it wasn't his business. "Good, lets head for the bar for some water then." He figured he should be drinking a lot of water, more than usual, just to lessen his chances of a migrane tonight. "No doubt this place will cause some over heating, especially on the dance floor." It was a good thing he planned to avoid that area as much as he could. "Perhaps we can find private booths to work for the night?" To keep away from the dance floor and the bar, in the hopes of avoiding the worst of the drunks, he also figured a private area of this place would mean more silence for him.

Mier Law (Lt. Diasporite)Location: Dance Floor Action: Damce dance — With Haspira! Dice Roll: 9, 4 “ You’re gorgeous—” breathless jealousy, green eyed and fetid, reared its ugly head briefly. Flashed over the pink-sunrise orbs in Miers head. The feeling lived, died, held the lifespan of something single celled and unaccustomed to air. There and gone in a blink once he realized what she was asking. Noted the glint of a starfish; and a dead glow stick already lay stuffed in his own back pocket. He wondered how many she had yet? “ Mier–” holographically painted nails splayed over his breastbone as he introduced himself with beaming pride. “--it’s my pleasure, and you’re right? A duet is w a a a y better than a solo act.” No small amount of his sudden eagerness was for the chance to have someone to dance with, next to, around. To serve the mission at the same time? The thought hadn’t crossed his mind, but he supposed he couldn’t be jealous of her wits too! He might die of spontaneous combustion if he tried. “Hah—come on chica. Let’s go—“ because the music could move him and the beat swelled live waves and crashed around the growing audience in attendance. Nobody would notice a pair of body’s slipping by and trading graying glow sticks for fresh ones, surely?

Ren Wilhelm (Eternal Taenite)Location: Lounge Dice Roll: 3, 3 Waru was expectedly popular. Who could blame anyone for being drawn to his charm? His charisma? Ren knew he wasn’t immune to it, so how could anyone else with lower self control manage?
It was easy for Ren to focus on Waru. He placed a hand on his arm, light and flirty, tracing the shapes of his tattoos.
He knew he was being dramatic about it, but it wasn’t as though he’d seen Waru in a while. They’d been in contact, of course, but he’d been out of the country on business, having just arrived back the night before. Earlier than he’d originally planned, but he’d gotten the notice for this event and didn’t want to be the only one not there.
It was a pretty decent turnout, all things considered. Plenty of glowsticks both bright and dimming.
“A man of good taste, I see,” he hummed contentedly when Waru announced his drink request, and Ren glanced up to the closest bartender to make sure he’d been heard. “I’ll take the same. Make it a party. Ren, by the way,” he introduced himself, flashing another flirty grin at Waru, and then a wink for Aelius as well.
“Will you be content with your rum and coke, or would you like to get in on this round, too?” he asked Aelius.

Mary Tunith
Location: Aquarium Hallway
Mary was not a club kinda girly. She'd never been much of a party person, and she could dance at home. In her PJs. Where no one could see her.
But Damaris desperately wanted to go and see the sea life. Hearing about it had lit up the girl's eyes with wonder and excitement. When she turned those eyes on Mary? She couldn't bear to deny her. So what if it meant she had to go out into a giant crowd of people, if it meant she got to see Damaris illuminated by the aquarium lights? If it meant, maybe, just maybe, Mary could have a moment of happiness without looking for a knife in the shadows?
It was all worth it.
Granted, keeping up with Damaris as she beelined to the glass was almost like chasing after a hyperactive kitten. Mary weaved through the crowd and let out a sigh as she gently grabbed Damaris' elbow and looked up at the young man switching out her glow stick. She raised an eyebrow at the quickness the glow stick had faded, but didn't comment. She was not going to ruin this experience for Damaris by being overly paranoid about the location and the crowd.
Was it the perfect location for some sort of Negaverse operation or attack? Oh absolutely; the Negaverse loved these sorts of locations and events. Mary wasn't going to let it dampen the mood though; if things did go a** over tea kettle, she could handle it.
Mary smiled up at the young man, wiggling her glow stick in greeting. Hers hadn't dimmed much yet, a visual representation of her tentativeness about this whole thing. "Thank you," she said and threaded her arm through Damaris'.
Just to keep the girl within arms reach, obviously.

Damaris TrippLocation: Aquarium Hallway Several things happened at once and Damaris wasn’t sure which to deal with. First, her shiny stick was taken, but then a new one was given to her and she smiled brightly at the tall man, and was about to say something when suddenly Mary was there!
Her arm was looped through Marys and Damaris looked at her friend with a bright, excited grin. “Thank you!” She chirped at the one who had given her a fresh…purple glowing tube. She loved it, and though she wondered if she had done something to break the last one since it went dim so fast, she was eager to keep this one safe.
Reaching her free arm up, she crossed it over and took hold of Mary’s hand, holding the arm that was through hers.
“Now…these fish…they’re fake? How is this possible? How do they swim if they aren’t real?”
She was looking up at the man again, clearly hoping…and believing that he would have an answer. He seemed like he knew what was going on. And now that Mary was by her side…well.
The joy inside of Damaris was almost ready to explode!

Adam Bal (General Borax)
Location: Aquarium Hallway Dice Roll: 4, 9, 7 This other girl also waved her glow stick at him, and there was a temptation just to snatch it so he the Negaverse could get started on draining even more energy from her, but he knew the directions. He left it alone. Her tentative behaviour meant that it wasn't draining out as fast as the other girl's. Unfortunately. Fortunately, the fish, both real and fake, were causing a lot of glow sticks in this area to die. He kept collecting them as he spoke. "Not a problem, ma'ams. This is the efficient service you'll be able to expect at Biolumina. You should come again after tonight!" ... Though, honestly, personally, he would love to corner them else-- Another question came to him, and he pulled his thoughts out to look at the fish. "It's machines, ma'am. Robotics. They get programmed to move in a certain pattern within the water." If any of it was magic, he assuredly wasn't saying. "Truly a wonder of modern machinery. You can see the same thing at some theme parks or fancier restaurants, right? We brought it right here, to this night club."

Jacob Bloom (aka Captain Alpersite
Location: Aquarium Hallway
Dice Roll: 8Tonight was looking like it was going to be a success, or at least there were a good number of people here. Jacob had detached himself from Samir for a few minutes, wanting to show…whoever was watching…if anyone was watching that he was taking this seriously.
And not just using it as an excuse for a free date with cheap alcohol.
He had a bag filled with glowsticks, and had been handing them out with smiles, his hair done up in a braided crown for the occasion. His starfish pin glittered on the corner of the collar of his shirt.
This place was honestly amazing, he had to admit that. Would have admitted it even if he hadn’t had to, but. Everyone had outdone themselves.
Slipping into the aquarium hallway, he looked at the mechanical animals floating around and just shook his head. “Wild.”
There was a woman with pale blue hair next to him, and when he saw that she also was wearing a starfish pin, he gently nudged her with his shoulder. “Wild night, huh? Everyone’s loving the glowsticks. I’m Jacob.”Kyuseisha no Hikari Samir--Jacob drifted away to make it look like he was working...8D;

Marissa Singer: Half-youma General Lavendulan
Location: Aquarium Hallway
Dice: 10“Definitely an impressive turnout,” Marissa agreed with a soft smile as she turned away from the glass where several of the animatronic fish had gathered since she held in her hands a number of glowsticks; at least 10 which were swapped for fresh ones with more to still be passed out. “I must say I’m impressed with the Aquarium, all that’s missing is a mermaid to make it even more magical.” Oh how quickly she would have volunteered for that position. All she would need was a way to suppress her signature and for her to get one of the silicon tails. No scuba equipment necessary except to use for fake props since she had no fear of drowning because she could breathe underwater. “My name’s Marissa, by the way.” She extended a hand in friendly greeting seeing that he too wore a starfish pendant and was an officer as she was.

January Bloom (Half-Youma Captain Janggunite)
Location: Aquarium Hallway
Dice Roll: 2
It was only very infrequently that he made a great show of going out. January didn't exist in the same capacity he always had, so he had to be careful with how he allocated his time in the city proper. He usually reserved it for events, shows, occasionally a shoot if he was very proud of what was being shown off. This... fell into that well enough. It was an event- just not one he'd specifically planned for.
He should be alert, keeping his eyes open for those January knew and would have to deal with in the future. He should be focused- there were a lot of moving pieces all around him, and he hadn't gone through the mental rehearsal of what he should be doing, how he should behave- The man he'd been a decade ago almost certainly would've had a panic attack. The atmosphere was overwhelming, the noise booming. It was loud enough to be thought-annihilating, but January was beginning to grasp the positives of that.
Long legs took wide strides, almost effortless as he slid through the throngs of people, a glass in each hand. He was decked in what had to be the tightest black leather pants at the venue, a sleeveless pale brown turtleneck with lacy holes fashioned in the pattern of leopard print, allowing his dark skin to peek through. A dark jacket hung off his shoulders, bunched up near his elbows- He'd hated black at one point. Called it a dull color, something to be slapped into an ensemble when no one knew better what to use. He'd teased one of his brothers about it, about his dreadful sense of fashion. It was probably half of his wardrobe now.
January hadn't stepped away from her for long, but he was surprised to see Marissa with another person near the glass of one of the large aquarium tanks. "Here you are, love. Probably the least interesting drink anyone could possibly request," he hummed as he handed over one of the glasses in his hand. Hers was a cream soda.
His was bright pink and adorned with a plume of fairy floss in a martini glass.
"And who-?" Perhaps it was the lighting or the wide array of distractions (or the alcohol starting to permeate his system), but January hadn't immediately recognized the company Marissa kept in his absence, until he did. "...June." Or, no, that wasn't right, and hadn't been for a long time. "Jacob," he correctly softly. "I didn't know you'd be-" Why wouldn't he be here? He was an agent, just as January and Marissa were. "Do you know each other?"

Jacob Bloom (aka Captain Alpersite
Location: Aquarium Hallway
Dice Roll: 8, 6Jacob nodded, both at the thought of adding a mermaid to the scene and at her name. “Marissa, hm? It’s lovely to meet you. I’ve been…needing to get out and meet more people, so honestly this is a good kick in the pants, but I will have to get back to–”
He broke off when January walked up, and for a moment he just looked at his brother, though finally gave a smile and reached out, pulling the other male into a tight hug. “Hey. Missed you.”
The words were only for Jan’s ears, and when he pulled away, he shook his head, in answer to the question.
“We just met, actually…you two know one another?”
Small world. And always getting smaller.

Marissa Singer: Half-youma General Lavendulan
Location: Aquarium Hallway
Dice: 10, 1 crying Marissa stifled a laugh behind a widening grin when Jan handed her the strawberry creme soda. Even though alcohol was free, she had a pretty weak constitution when it came to alcohol and worried what might happen if something she ordered was perhaps too strong. The last thing she needed was to lose the glamour by mistake and cause a scene. But before she could quip a reply of ‘not wanting to take any chances’ his attention shifted to Jacob who was just about to leave. New emotion unlocked… Marissa mused. She’d known Jan for over a year now and could honestly say this was the first time she’d seen him look surprised. It was a fleeting emotion, but even in this light, she caught the flicker of it before he reined in his composure which was quickly jostled when Jacob pulled him into a tight hug. Marissa took a sip of her sweet drink to hide her amusement. “Jan is one of the few people I consider a close friend, yes.”

January Bloom (Half-Youma Captain Janggunite)
Location: Aquarium Hallway
Dice Roll: 2, 7
Color him shocked- though January couldn't clearly articulate why. An unreasonable part of him had sort of expected Jacob to lash out when he reached for him, which he'd literally never done (well, he had once, but that wasn't anyone's fault, and neither had known what, or who they were lashing out at, exactly...) because June- Jacob was sweet and kind and empathetic, and even when January receded from contact with anyone else, he'd always been accepting of whatever form of affection his siblings showed him. But Janggunite had become progressively less tolerant and quick to temper, and it took effort to repress that significant part of him now.
That flicker of a second where his stupid mind had the audacity to presume Jacob was going to accost him had January as rigid as a marble slab- Because January was a model citizen and was absolutely not going to bite someone, and he had to keep that ******** bizarre impulse well out of decent society (biting had always been disgusting, unhinged, and unsanitary, and he literally couldn't believe that was Janggunite's go-to attack).
And it was June- he wasn't going to bite June. They didn't run into each other that often, and sometimes it was strange to see his little brother and have the crisis that time passed and things changed. Because no, he wasn't June, anymore. This was Jacob, his brother. And January wasn't January. Just some half-baked echo of him.
"I missed you too..." In a soft, cracking voice that didn't do much to conceal his inner turmoil. He hardly had time to even get his arms around Jacob to return the hug before the younger man pulled away.
January took an impressively large gulp of cotton candy martini (and he was now wavering on his decision that he'd be fine to drink) and had to find equilibrium somewhere amidst all these foreseen circumstances. He'd come with Marissa because he thought she was safe and he trusted her experience to know when they had to leave, but...
January cleared his throat, swallowed. "I have shockingly few neighbors, so we've had plenty of time to get to know each other in our off hours." It wasn't like there were hoards of half-youma loitering around Negaspace, and despite his young and foolish belief that he'd be happier living alone...
That definitely did not seem the way to a bright future.
"We go out every now and then. When we can."
