They showed up to the place nearly instantly after leaving the camp with the use of a teleportation circle. Remember this wasn't just any place; it wasn't even a place. It was the place! Bitches for miles and douchebags too! A place so magical some people straight lived here; a place were the clubbers who wore shirts that said "I'm working" weren't immediately snickered at as butt-cleaning ******** but hailed as kings of krunk and bosses of booty. Where the music was so nasty the only break from the sick drops were sicker, grimier, gnarlier drops. A place where white and black knights were names of drinks. A place the rave could call home.
Janus had no trouble getting through the line, of course, but Setsuko could definitely see how difficult it was to get into ******** without the right look or name attached to your wrist ever so gently guiding you through the waves of hype and hormones. At the door there were glowsticks--for the kiddies--and what a guy leaning ever so cooly against the hall to the main floor called "rave in pill form" for the grownups. Janus gave a reassuring smile and squeezed Setsuko's hand.
"O..Okay." The club was a lot louder than Setsuko had imagined. The music had to be loud enough to be heard by the people and the people had to be loud enough to be heard over the music. With the press of people Setsuko kept a tight hold of Janus' hand, if she got lost now she might be consumed by the rave, never to return.

As they moved further into the sea of rave things would only get louder and more bleepy-bloopy. Janus looked like she was perfectly at home. Setsuko might notice the GoD was talking at a normal volume despite the music. If she concentrated her hearing she should be able to pick out what she was saying from the music thanks to her heightened senses.
"Cool. I'ma see if I can get us a drink." Janus let go of Setsuko's hand and went off to the bar. Surely it wouldn't take her long to get the booze, but Setsuko would have to tough it out with all the horny devils.
They were like sharks, Hammerheads swirling around in praise of the kill. Setsuko would be danced all up on with little warning by three dudes who seemed to like nodding their heads at an angle to the beat of whatever song was playing. (XD)
"AW YEEAH!" They barked in chorus as they attempted to grind all up on that sweet innocent body Setsuko had going in her new outfit.
With the three guys upon her Setsuko felt very scared. With the large crowd pushing around her she had no where to escape to and was being jostled around like a doll. With no other option Setsuko tried to squeeze out but with all the pushing it was impossible and soon she was knocked onto the floor and her glasses were sent skidding out in front of her.
Soon a space started to clear in the crowd. Setsuko might notice a pair of boots in front of her with no one around for a few armlengths.
"Alright, get up, let's go..." She just waited, arms crossed and eyes coldly locked on the young one. Her fingers tapped milliseconds into her left arm until Setsuko made a move.
"Ohhey~" Meanwhile Janus seemed to be having fun over at the bar, getting a few freebies for herself before she headed back for Setsuko. I mean, what was the rush?
Setsuko squinted a little to try and focus her eyesight. Strangely she found her vision wasn't as bad as it used to be, probably one of the perks of becoming a devil. Crawling a little she found her glasses and got to her feet. Wiping them off and putting them on Setsuko noticed the woman and the wide birth she had made. Setsuko cowered a little, she hated feeling like she was the center of attention. "I...I'm sorry... I just......."
"You just...? Come on, this can't be the number four spot!" The newcomer flipped her head over to the bar for a moment and back to Setsuko--behind her at the rave-ists, to be exact.
"Beat it." Immediately the guys scrammed, but it still might give Setsuko a scare if she thought the girl was looking at her.
When the guys ran off Setsuko was a little uneasy. Clearly this person had some influence. "You...You know who I am?" The only other people to call her number 4 were Lilith and Janus so it was clear there was some connection between them.
"Oh I know you!" She snapped. "Just another of those punk-a** kids from the surface... Man..." She shook her head and shrugged.
"You know how I know you?" She began again shifting her weight. "I used to be number four. Before Lilith went full retard and started hiring children to balance the souls of countless demons, I was the top of her organisation save the Daughter and that obnoxious Pansexual; and you know it wasn't that bad. Eventually I got used to them. It was trying, but I managed. Then four and--" shuddering "--five came into the picture and took what I earned and flushed it down the crapper!" She stepped right up to Setsuko, getting an inch from her face with those atomic eyes of hers.
"... Fight me." Meanwhile, Janus had been flirting with the dj, who was dropping some sickness on the party people forever and ever amen.
"F...Fight you?" This was really bad, Setsuko didn't know how to fight and this person clearly had a lot more experience than her. Setsuko tried to back away but only found herself walking into a wall of people. It became clear to her now that the crowd wasn't just clearing out the womans way, they were forming a ring. Setsuko was absolutely terrifed.
The strange girl simple nodded as she watched Setsuko hit the wall. A pair of hands would shove her into the center of the ring. Her opponent was busy pumping up the crowd, but turned to notice her prey once the circle started to catch on with the fight! fight! chant.
"DJ! Fight music!" She called out to the stage. At first something really grimy came on, but instead the dj started playing an undeniable dance-off jam!
"Whoa! No! ... Really?" Shouted the champ as the crowd would begin to move the circle toward the dance floor. Eventually she gave in and, rolling her eyes, lifted her arms so she could be carried to the arena. The crowd had immediately switched from fight! fight! to dance off! dance off! And the dj pointed a spot light on the two.
"I think we're trying to have a dance off in the place tonight, folks!" They all went nuts, confirming that this in fact was happening. "You know the rules: dance until the song is over, don't hog the floor, and mind the good bystanders' feet. Alright?? We're goin'!"
"D-D-D-D-D-D-DANCE OFF-OFF-off-off-off...
"It's all you," said the reigning champ with a shrug. Setsuko could have the first turn if she wanted it.
"B...But I can't. I don't know..." Setsuko had never danced before. The only skills she ever worked on were her drawing skills making her hands top class, but her feet were literally at the bottom.
A shrug was all she gave to that excuse. Everyone knew how to dance, whether they knew it or not. The mysterious girl started groovin' right up to Setsuko, taking a second to whisper
"Dance or I'll kick your a** in front of everyone," in the young girl's ear as she passed. Immediately the crowd was digging her moves, popping, locking, and even dropping with a very high rate of success. Soon it would be Setsuko's turn, though, and she'd have to do something. Janus was still nowhere to be found.
Setsuko couldn't do anything. With the spotlight on her she had frozen up and was starting to shake with fear. No matter where she turned she couldn't see anyway out. Setsuko had only two options, try to dance and get beaten badly or... She didn't really want to, the last time she did she had blanked out and she felt awful, but there was no choice. Crouching down to comfort herself Setsuko steadied her breathing enough to take out her emergency pen and start drawing on her hand.
