The club was in one of the rougher areas of Barton, though not the Ghetto. Just, lots of abandoned warehouses and run down apartments. The area had an air about it, as if there were secrets lurking in the dark allyways, but secrets you didn't want to find.

Standing in the center of this area, backed up to the river, was a large building, that looked as if it had once been a factory. A sign on top proclaimed that it was "The Nights Portal" and all of the windows had been shuttered in steel, though it looked the same outwards as the other buildings around it, though in slightly better repair. The front doors were closed, with a sign up saying to proceed to the side basement doors for deliverys or daytime business.

Darsais, keyboard strapped to her back, made her way through the Barton industrial district. She felt out of place - her, with her hair (currently a dizzying shade of bright pink, though the roots seemed to be leaning towards lime green), her bright orange tee-shirt (emblazened with the name of a band no one had ever heard of and a strange logo involving a tree and stars, all printed in purple), and her school uniform skirt, knee-high yellow-and-blue striped toe-socks, and school shoes.

"Total jailbait," her mother had proclaimed her to be when she had seen her leaving the house like that.

But that was okay with Darsais. She was interviewing for a job. She needed to look cute. Coming to the end of the road, where it met the last row of buildings before the river, she looked up. "The Night's Portal, huh?" she read, smiling. This was the place. She approached the front doors but spotted the sign instructing her to go around the side, so around the side she went, pushing the doors open and following them into the hallway within.

"Hello?" she called. "I'm here to see someone about a gig?"

As she says this, a door off to the side is opened by a large, red scaled, taloned hand. Peeking out of the doorway is a huge man, standing about 8 feet tall, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. He's got reddish tinged skin, with scales on the backs of his arms and hands, and on his neck. "Yo. Your here lookin for a gig? Damn. Tiny thing, arn't ya. Can't be all that old either. You sure you can handle the night?" He'll smile, kindly, showing slightly enlarged canines, and a tail with a spade on the end will wave back and forth behind him. "You'll wanna see tha boss. Go to the end of the hall, into the elevator, hit the button for the 4th floor, last door on the hallway." He'll close the door again, turning back to what looks like 2 younger girls, early teens, and a board game of some sort and a movie, as it appears that the basement room is an apartment of some sort.

"Well, that was decidedly weird," mused Darsais as she continued down the hall. Then again, she didn't know what the story with the girls was, but it was her habit to assume the worst. She immediately tried to quash the assumption. This employer hadn't seemed sketchy. She was sure they weren't going to knock her out and rape her. Stuff like that only happened in movies.

She stopped that train of thought in its tracks and got on the elevator. Floor four, huh? She hit the button and the elevator ascended with a low rumble and all the speed of an aging elephant. After what felt like forever, it stopped and she got out. A hallway stretched in front of her and she followed it, growing more curious about the whole situation.

She reached the last door and knocked. "Excuse me?" she called. "It's Darsais Starling. I have an appointment."

"Come in!" The voice is low and husky, almost a growl. When she opens the door, Silver will be leaning back in his chair, feet propped up on the desk, only wearing a ripped pair of black jeans, reading through a notebook, making marks here and there. As he sees her, he'll put down the book and his feet, standing up to his full 7 and a half feet, smiling a little. "Your here about the letter i sent about the gig, way back, right?"

"Yeah," said Darsais, looking up... and up... and up... at the wolf man. Holy s**t was this guy tall! "Sorry I haven't been in touch before now," she said, in a sort of please-don't-hurt-me way, "I've been really busy with school and stuff like that."

The little voice of reason in the back of her head returned to the topic of strangers, dark rooms, ropes, and rape. Darsais shut it off and did her best to grin. "I play a wicked electric keyboard," she said, pointing to the instrument strapped to her back.

He'll nod a little, and wave at one of the oversized chairs. "What style of music? I remember your poster said something about J-Pop, but have you branched out in styles, or is it still mostly the same?" He'll sit down himself, , arms crossed on the desk as he leaned forward, his earrings tinkling as his ears moved. "I'm thinking of doing an asian themed night once in a while, maybe make it more regular depending on how it goes over."
PostPosted: Mon May 19, 2008 6:51 pm


"I'm still really inspired by J-Pop," said Darsais without hesitation. She'd gone over this in her head a few dozen times. "But lately I've been taking some cues from piano rock, the american alternative scene, that kind of stuff." A thought crossed her mind. "Maybe not the kind of stuff your patrons are interested in..." she mumbled, and then fell silent to regroup her ideas.

"I do some covers, and write a lot of my own stuff, too," she said. Her hair had, by this point, turned a startling shade of turquoise. "I only sing in Japanese when it's a cover, though," she added. "I can't compose in it."

He'll nod a little, and stood again. "Come with me. I'll show you the main floor, and where you'll be performing if you decide to." He'll lead her out and down the hall to the elevator again, and down to the second floor. Stepping out, they'll be in an area with a bar along one wall, and tables and booths, though it only takes up an area around the outside of the building, the middle being open to the dance floor and club area on the first floor. He'll gesture for her to go down the large staircase, while he dashes off, opening a halfdoor on the railing and sliding down the ladder there into a DJs booth, flipping on equipment as he does so.

"Wow!" exclaimed Darsais as she stepped into the space. It was unlike anywhere she'd ever performed before (Garages, the arcade, and one memorable lunch period in the school courtyard.) "This is the real deal!" she said, continuing to look around in wonderment.

Before she could even fully grasp the space, she hurried to dash down the stairs, arriving in yet another wondrous room.

"This is so cool," she breathed.

There were pillars around 3 sides of the room, holding up the second floor. The center was a dance floor, though there were lines in the floor that suggested that it may be altered somehow through some manner. The 4th wall was a 2 story high sculputre of a waterfall, the water collecting in a pool at its base. As silver messed with the equipment in the booth, a stage rose from that end of the dance floor on hydralics. As the dj booth lowered itself next to the stage, on hydralics of its own, he'll slip out, climbing on stage, and opening a port. "So, that oversized piano of yours work, or are you just for show?" He'll give a teasing grin, pulling out a cable, and holding it out to the girl. "Time for you audition darlin. Show me what you've got." He'll slip back into the booth, ready to adjust any of the equipment needed, waiting for her to start.

"I didn't spend half my savings on it just to look cool," smirked Darsais, hopping up onto the stage. She lifted the strap over her head and set the keyboard down in front of her. A pair of criss-crossing legs popped out of the bottom, and she stood it up. From the bottom of the case she pulled a sort of cymbal-like apparatus that she set on the floor under the keyboard.

"I'm doing a sound check, okay?" she called, finding the amp cord and hooking it up to the piano. She found a microphone, too, and dragged it over to the keyboard before adjusting it to the right height. Finally, her set-up accomplished, she powered up the instrument, flipped a few switches, and played a quick cord progression. She hummed into the mic. Everything sounded good.

Well, might as well get right down to business. She dropped a beat on the cymbal, counted herself off ("A-one-two-three-go!") and launched into the introduction of a song.

"Days go by, I wish I were famous," she sang, "Or maybe religious - So I could go to heaven, just like you." She had a nice voice, sort of an alto, feminine but with a rock edge to it. Maybe it was just spunk given sound.

Fiddling with the panels in front of him, the lights will dim, and spotlights will appear on Dar as silver works, adjusting the sound slightly, increasing the feedback and volume some. He grinned and gave her a thumbs up as she played, sitting back to listen, head bobbing with the beat of the song.

"I could have a big house, complain about taxes!" sand Darsais, really getting into it. Her voice had... character, emotion. "And pay off my exes! Ain't that livin'? No one makes fun of me 'cuz I can't stand up for myself!"

Her piano playing was skillful. She definitely had a talent for the instrument.

"Woaaoooooh, twenty-one and invincible!"

Silver will nod along to the end of the song, and then clap. "Quite the talent you have there kiddo. How versitile are you though." He'll think a moment, then fiddle with something on the controls. "Can you play billy joel, piano man? I can provide the harmonica parts."
