one night of magic rush

[blyat]

WHO: Cain, Prompto, Hideki Maeda, and you!
WHERE: The popular Asylum club.
WHEN: Night of October 26.
WHAT: Cain and Prompto's joint birthdays!
NOTES OR WARNINGS: Beyond drinking/smoking, general wild party behavior, and fake friendship, there shouldn't be much. Will update as needed.


[Set deep in the downtown of New Amsterdam's entertainment district is Asylum, arguably the most popular club in the city. The exterior is cool steel beams and tasteful futuristic architecture with a long line down the corridor, suited bouncers posed at the entrance all armed with a virtual guest list. Its interior is fashioned with bright, colorful lighting dynamic to the music of the infamous DJ Semicolon, high ceilings and acoustic sounds to lend that feeling of a constant full-body hum. Any partygoers on the guest list for this event will be funneled toward the VIP section. They will have received an invitation a few days prior via their Cooltalk profiles. Jason is specifically blacklisted, sorry buddy.

DANCE YOUR HEART OUT. Nearly impossible to book without deep pockets or wide-reaching connections, Semicolon is at the top of their game mixing popular contemporary hits with Whitney Houston's classics. From song to song, Semicolon provides a unique and talented contrast of the slow to the energetic, so no matter your dancing style, you'll find something to move you on the dance floor.

DROWN YOUR... LIVER. Courtesy of the party's host, Hideki Maeda, the VIP section's private bar will provide an ever-flowing river of your favorite expensive high-proof alcohol. Pick your poison.

CHILL OUT. Tired on your feet from too much dancing, or just need a break from the packed atmosphere? There are plenty of comfortable areas where you can relax and take it easy until you're ready to get back out there. The lights around this area cycle through different colors in reflection of Semicolon's performance set, so a slower song might lend toward romantic shades of red while a faster-paced song is brighter blue.

SMOKE, EAT & MINGLE. Asylum will be serving real, fresh meat at this party, so enjoy that luxury while it lasts. There is also an outdoor area with a beautiful view over the city itself if you want to take your vape pen out there for a smoke, just get some air, or see who's around for a chat.]

Fine, fine, you got me! First — my couch is your couch, my friend! Why would I ever leave you to return to ... whatever it is you normally have? [ The casual assumption that what Cain has is bad. That's what that is. ]

Secondly — your gifts are arriving right ... about ... now!

[ Two people walk up — one beautiful man and one beautiful woman — with a tray with the gifts. They're each topped with a red cloth bow. Hideki leans in to take the tray and set it in his lap. The gifts are positioned so that each person's gift is closest to them, as if Hideki wanted them to check on that before they showed up.

On Cain's end, there is a very, very nice vape. It interfaces with his neural implant, letting him know of its current conditions, as well as checking the reading on any "toxins" put into it. It's top of the line — and very nice.

On Prompto's end, there is a very nice camera — one that's fitting for the year 2511. Better than any neural implant camera technology, it's meant to be worn externally. It offers great digital pictures, videos and has a slot for film, along with a note about where to get film and have it processed. ]

You like?

[prompto's quick to pick up the camera from the tray, his face a mix of awe and surprise. falling back on the cushions, he's looking at the camera over with the eye of someone who has definitely seen this around but could have never dreamed of getting something like it at all.]

This is a Lux Ti1 D900! Dude! This is too awesome!

[it even has film! that's too high quality for a gift?!]

Are you sure I can keep this? [holy shit] Cain, it has film! [!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[Prompto's excitement is infectious, and he's grinning by the time he picks up his own gift where it's carefully laid out on the tray. Whatever his misgivings about this entire situation, that is easily the nicest vape he's seen. He couldn't have afforded it himself, would've have been willing to splurge anyway, Taking it up in his fingers, Cain hails the menu screen of the device's neural link -- but leaves the settings so he can mess with them later.]

Holy shit.

[He reaches and affectionately ruffles Hideki's hair. Got to hand it to him, he knows what they like. ]

Okay, this is fucking cool.

[amstrdm]

See! Now, why were you in a rush to leave again? [ Hideki isn't nice to people he doesn't like. Case in point: he's kicked V out of the celebrations elsewhere. Here — here is a damn good time. He's happy to bask in it, but not for long. Now that he's seen the looks on their faces, he's satisfied.

He leans into Cain, wrapping his arm around him to hold him close. ]

I've got one of my own. We'll look super fucking cool together, and this guy — [ He quirks his thumb at Prompto. ] He'll take all the pictures.

[mercurio]

How 'bout a second to let me get familiar with it?

[he jokes, having already scanned his ID into the camera's system and getting the interface to display into his neural implant, a selection of options and filters and optimizing available for his brainwaves. it's so much different than the usual.]

[but he's pressing onwards, selecting the basic and easiest of settings—and snapping shots of hideki and cain as he can.]

Woah. The images are super crisp...

[someone's already enjoying using his new toy]
