Character Name: Eion Risk (Faustite)
Location: Lobby

Rowan, she said, and Eion's heart sank. They weren't alike, he reminded himself, and that Rowan was gone for good. Nothing more than a ghost in the shell of a pocket watch now.

That Rowan was quick to see herself off, as transient as his chance encounters with the old Rowan ever were. Eion's attention followed her for a time while he waxed wistful, and then she was gone, lost beyond the crowd of bodies that broke his line of sight.

Even if America's slightly botched but astonishingly accurate translation fell flat for them both, it didn't seem to faze either one. And the ever unflappable America was quick to turn down the notion of a drink while finding a way to compliment herself in the process. That, too, felt a little reminiscent of Rowan's easy confidence. Confidence that now withered into a hollow self-loathing made home in a scarred boy.

America's silent response earned a shrug and a nod. He didn't think anyone was too old to drain.

He reached for his bag once more, pulling out a pen and notebook. Roughly halfway through the book, he found a blank page and promptly began to write. Then he showed it to Halia.

Forgot my wallet and they don't believe me.

Could share something, though. And Meri looks like she needs a shirley temple.

Character Name: Alexandre Evans (General Benitoite)
Location: At the bar, leaving and heading back towards the main stage.
Dice roll: 8,8

Alexandre was pleased to have Rene here tonight, helping and supporting him as well as the Negaverse, he knew this was more his partners speed. Glancing over to him, easily finding the other at the bar, as he wandered around gathering drinks and handing out new glasses, Alexandre found himself smiling at the sight of the tall Frenchman. He wasn't the sort to return to the club the Negaverse was running but he would return here, and help out as well, from time to time. This was somewhere he and Rene could both go and it wasn't too loud for him or offensive.

As he wandered the blond was pleased to see members of his team, those he knew, and more officers here working as civilians. It seemed the Negaverse was in fine form tonight and taking to these sorts of operations like ducks to water.

So Shannon was working here tonight and not as an officer, that work was the side hustle for the evening, he wasn't too surprised. His eyes finding her in the crowd again, as she seemed to be lurking about looking for someone, the blond was glad to have her as part of his team. She was capable and had a mountain of ideas she wanted to run, the sleep one had run well till the end. She was promising and he couldn't wait till she made General.

Character Name: Jason Everleigh // Halle of Lysithea
Location: Lobby toward Main Stage


Their mom had gotten weird (weirder) since they'd transferred to Azure. It'd taken some strings pulled by her boss here and help from their grandparents to get there, but so far the twins had been doing really good in their new school. There really hadn't been any trouble and their grades had improved over their record at Hillworth. There was absolutely no reason for her to worry. Which apparently was the problem. They were acting too good and getting into too little trouble. While it was understandable in the restrictive halls of Hillworth, she'd apparently expected them to go back to more how they'd been before moving to Destiny City.

But Luke and Jason just hadn't. Even her precious and cute youngest son wasn't getting into trouble. He'd actually matured in ways she found hard to pinpoint and could no longer dismiss as just puberty. Teens were supposed to get worse during these years! She'd been ready!

So when a musical event was happening, in a new club, with a mix of teens and adults, with a bar they definitely shouldn't be allowed to partake in, Marion Everleigh did what any mother would do and decided to enable some Antics. The boys foudn that she'd already bought them a a set of dandy three piece suits (you can wear them for prom, too!), vouchers for the club (don't get too crazy!), cab fare, and the assurance that they could stay out as long as they like (have fun!).

Still a little shell-shocked from the sudden plans their mom had made for them out of nowhere, Jason adjusted his suit jacket with a somewhat bitter look after getting his Under 18 stamp. "I wish she had warned us. I could have invited Ti-...some friends along."

At least the club looked pretty nice, no rave trappings to be seen outside of the light-up cups.

Character Name: Andy Thorne
Location: Main Stage Vicinity

"And then what did you do?" Eyebrows lifted with sincere curiosity, Andy prompted his friend to keep on with their story. It had reached a bit of an awkward point, his buddy trailing off in embarrassment after his flow had been interrupted but a kind of rude, but not too out of line question. Sometimes telling a story was rough like that, but he wanted to hear how the rest of it played out.

The event was only just getting going, but he'd already left his suit jacket on a chair. Sleeves rolled up and tie halfway to undone, Andy looked like he came from the end of a party. Fortunately the huge froufrou drink in one hand was non-alcoholic, so if he looked a little flushed, it was more from laughter than anything else. It was gonna be a good night after all, with music, pals, and snacks from the bar.

Character Name: Dawn DaLumos ((Botein, Super Senshi of Amulets))
Location: Main Stage Vicinity

Dawn smiled at the taller male, "Thank you very much." She had barely touched the drink so she felt a bit bad about the waste, both of the alcohol and the money it cost, but really... she wasn't the one who asked for it. And her friend practically ditched her, she couldn't even see Eve in the crowd anywhere. A sigh shifted into a yawn, one she hid with her hand. Who knew such large parties were so mentally draining?

When the young man came back with her water Dawn once more thanked him. "I know your busy so I really do appreciate it. I hope I didn't throw you off your schedule or anything."
