    The sweet, fragrant smells of roses mixed with lilacs emanate from her as she casts magic. The scent intensifies, bordering on intoxicating, when Life magic is cast. When Aurora casts Vulgar magic, the scent takes a nasty turn, to the putrid, nauseating odor of a rotting corpse. The stronger the magic, the more those around want to retch at the smell.

    Did she really feel like going out? The Shaman wasn’t sure, but she knew she didn’t want to sit in her hotel room all night again. So she dug though her bags and found something that would be fun, leather skirt and a one armed sweater that was an amazing color on her.

    It was hard to feel carefree anymore when you turned three people into fish and watches them die. Kind of put a damper on life.

    But, she was going to try. The club wasn’t a huge one, but it wasn’t a dive either. The music was good, the drinks weren’t overpriced and the crowd was lively. What more could you want?

    At the bar, she orders two shots, then a mixed drink. More than one way to loosen up, and if she got too drunk, well, there was a spell for that. Shots down, she picks up the other drink and looks over the club. Any familiar or interesting faces would be good.

    It was a dull night at home, and a long day at work, so why not go out and have some fun? On such short notice, Sonnie simply dressed up and went out by herself. Girls Night with her friends would wait for another time.

    It was also a good opportunity to harvest a little Glamour. Nightclubs were a great source of Desire, what with all the pounding music, writhing bodies and flowing alcohol. The Spring Courtier fed well this evening.

    Satiated and happy, The young woman slid up to the bar and ordered a rum and coke. Even when drinking, she needed some sugar. As she waited impatiently, drumming her fingers on the bartop, she glanced over a couple spots and observed the hot blonde with curiosity. Something about Aurora was familiar.

    Had she seen her somewhere before? Maybe it was her imagination.

    Sipping her green drink, she spots the girl. It was hard not to, the Shaman knew when someone was looking at her.

    But, the girl had a playful look about her, so she walks over.

    “That is such a cute dress!”
    compliments the blonde. “Haven’t had a rum and coke in years! Might have to order one now.” Her smile was easy and relaxed, “Oh, I’m Madison by the way.” A hand was held out. “Been to this club before?”

    The Asian-American woman wasn't shy about being caught staring. Her eyes had been riveted to the white girl as she searched her memory, trying to recall if she had met her before.

    Why do I feel like I've seen her bending her body in weird ways?

    Oh, maybe she's a porn actress?

    Sonnie smiled and shook the offered hand. "I'm Sonja, and thanks!" Her dress ended in a relatively short skirt, and she had a pair of strappy, open-toed sandals on. Her drink, even as the mage brought it up, was given to her. She picked up the glass and gestured with it, "I like the carbonation! I do recommend it."

    After a quick glance at their surroundings to be certain, she shook her head. "Not this one. Unless I was too drunk to remember," she answered matter-of-factly. "You 'club a lot?"

    Sipping her cocktail, she watches, “It’s the skirt huh?” a hip pops out to the side, it was a nice skirt.

    “Hi Sonja. Did you get it around here?” she had to go out shopping soon. “The carbonation does a little something fun to the drink.” She holds up her own, bubbles in the green fluid, “Champagne and Absinthe, so I totally get the carbonation!” was weird how it worked. “Then consider it next on my list.” Raising her own glass.

    Laughing, “Then I’m in the same boat as you. Not one I’ve been to, though if I have, I hope it was fun.” She winks. “All the time! Life is too short to not hit all the clubs. But I prefer the smaller ones. The more popular ones are just way too crowded, no room on the dance floor.” A roll of her eyes. “Any clubs you recommend checking out?”

    Her eyes darted down at the skirt. It was as good an answer any excuse she might come up with, so Sonnie shrugged and nodded, "Sure, it's a great skirt!"

    "There's a place in the mall. They got some cute stuff," she ran a hand over her own skirt, straightening it a little. Her eyes shifted to the glass in Aurora's hand, with it's green contents. "A little bit of the bubbly, eh? With absinthe? I've never heard of that combination before. I'll have to try it soon!" She saluted the blonde with her rum and coke, "Trading drink recommendations is a good way to start the night!"

    The Changeling nodded along in agreement, as she listened to the Mage's insights on life and how to live it. A final nod and she pointed a finger at the Thyrsus, "Exactly! I like the way you think! Take your fun where you can find it. Follower your own drummer! All that jazz!"

    She took a drink and smiled, "Well, there's Social Nightclub. I had a blast there once with some friends. Hard to get kicked out, too... not for lack of trying."

    It's a tragic conflic for Allen. Of the 'I can't, and yet I must' variety. It's not that he dislikes clubs, no, it's just that all these attractive people make him uneasy, a constant reminder of his own wafer-thin looks. Still, it was a good place to start mapping the needs and wants of the local Herd. Inebriated, they tend to say what they mean and give insight on what makes the city dance.

    That is, it gives people like Allen the tools he works with.

    From the entrance, he made his way straight to the bar and, upon getting his beer, he spots two women who stand out even in this crowd of smooth folks. Indeed, if his eyes don't deceive him, the blonde one was kinda sorta famous in the entertainment circles. The other one must be a groupie, then (do acrobats have groupies?), a partner or a friend. Or, you know, a random person you meet at the bar. Good enough. Better than hoped.

    "Is this seat, uh, taken?" Allen points to an empty stool beside the two women "I'm Allen. It's pretty crowded here tonight, I'm looking for a place to sit" He looks a little abashed, and it isn't feigned. You'd think when your tribe has 'Lords' in its name, you have no trouble interacting with others, but Allen controls nothing in this environment, and that robs him of an important edge.

    “I’ll have to head over, haven’t been there in a while.” Ok, almost a year, but about the same. “I hadn’t either, but a bartender recommended at another bar. I was like, no, those cannot go together. He talked me into trying it, and I was hooked.” But she liked Absinthe, which was key here. “It totally is! I always like trying new drinks or ones I haven’t had in a long time. Keeps things interesting.” That was a necessity.

    “And if all else fails, make your own fun! Plus, without fun, like is all, boring and depressing and I just don’t have time for that.” Nope.

    Laughing, “Wait, you actually tried to get kicked out?” a hint of surprise in her voice, “If you had a blast, why want to get kicked out? Unless it was a challenge or something, that, I can get behind. Spice up the evening and all that.” Sometimes you needed to bring the fun.

    Blue eyes look to the voice, taking in the rather plain guy. But, plain could be interesting and fun. Well, depending on the person.

    “No, go ahead.” Gesturing to the seat. “Hi Allen,” then a nod, “it does seem to be picking up a bit, always a good thing.” More people watching, more fun. “I’m Madison by the way.” She wasn’t sure if she should introduce her new friend or not. Some people were ok with that, some not. And she lacked the ability to check the future outcome of that anymore. So, play it safe, let the girl introduce herself. Maybe she used a different name with guys, she’s seen it happen.

    "I think it was a bet? I can't recall what was on the line. I'd had a little too much to drink that night," Sonnie laughed. "Anyway, I failed to get bounced. Oh, well. Maybe next time, right?" She shrugged and took another sip of her drink. "It's always good to have goals in life."

    Well, that didn't take long. Two women can't have a conversation without some dude sidling up to them. Still, he seemed like the shy sort, and who was she to stifle somone's desires? Sonnie gave the werewolf a welcoming smile and waved at the seat in question. "Hi! I'm Sonja. Like she said, help yourself. It is getting busy, isn't it?"

    Busy? Well, maybe. For all he knows it's their busiest or slowest night yet "I wouldn't know" He says in blunt honesty "I only came to the city yesterday. Or it feels like yesterday. There's so much to see here, I got all dizzy and went for a drink, hoping for some clarity" He smiles and already his features soften as he gets comfortable in his seat. Instinctual reactions give way to trained responses "Besides, what better way to say 'hello world' than to go to a place designed to make socializing easy, right?" Functionally, this here was a waterhole, and they were zebras, giraffes and yeah, wolves, all coming together to drink.

    Small, measured sips of his beer are taken. Save the gulping for those who expect it.

    "On that note, I think I overheard you talking about places to be? Or maybe you share my own newcomer predicament?" Yeah, he did say 'predicament'. In a fucking nightclub. And he did that on purpose - precisely because nobody else in this dancing, hair gel-wearing crowd does that. He has maybe five seconds to make himself look interesting, and he intends to use it wisely.

    We interrupt this program to give you free job-seeking advice: if you have a weird hobby, show it on your CV. Either your future boss is into that too, or he isn't but at least you stand out among a million identical applicants. Either way - bonus points.
