one night of magic rush
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.]

[Thinking of himself as a soldier, despite spending months in space working on military technology and engaging in a few dogfights with Colterons, is still strange. Maybe because his desire to become a Navigator was relatively new when compared to his love of science and engineering. Maybe because he'd never wanted to 'Waste 'Terons' as so many people put it, he'd only wanted to protect what he loved. It doesn't seem very war-like, but he's not sure what he expected. More blood? More fighting? Less time digging around in the guts of the Reliant trying to shorten her response time? Hard to say. But V suggesting that he knows war better than many of the Displaced really makes him wonder how qualified he is to talk about it.]
Space definitely, my head was always up in the stars. [He smiles back, just a little self-conscious about it.] War, though... I don't know, sometimes I think it's better to ask someone like Cain about that. I've only shot a gun once, and I've flown more simulations than actual battles. I wouldn't call myself 'experienced'.
no subject
[Maybe Cain would know more about it, is his meaning. Abel would be a better judge of that than him, but he's quick to make a correction.]
But you were in battles, regardless, were you not? That kind of experience changes one's perspective. Of life, of death, of just how easily it can be lost for the sake of protecting what's important to you.
[Fragile as V finds himself now, he knows this more stringently than before.]
Even if you don't consider yourself a veteran, it still counts for something.
no subject
I don't know how important it is here, but if I could teach one lesson from my time as a soldier it would be that you never know what's going to happen from minute to minute. So don't put anything off. ...Or you might find yourself thrown hundreds of years into the future with people you've never met before, wearing a medical gown and trying not to trip and fall. [As an extremely amusing, completely random example.]
no subject
He chuckles at that.]
Good advice to give, and if we're wise, we'll all adhere to it. Soldiers or not.
Well then, for now... do you mind showing me a few of those constellations you were trying to remember?
[It seems like a novel exercise, even if it's not in V's realm of expertise.]
no subject
[It's definitely something he's a lot more comfortable talking about, and now that his mind is a little calmer who knows? Maybe the sky won't be such a mystery to him anymore.]
[He fires up the overlay and shares the feed over.]
wrap up this thread and put a bow on it?
He'll ask about the names behind the constellations, about naming and labelling conventions of the stars in general. It's a fine way to pass the time, until they're both set free via either Prompto or Cain; at least, insofar as they know.
And for a moment, he thinks maybe it isn't so bad, being out here on this balcony.]
