 Wanna raise pulses I be on that beating in your chest ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ Nights in Japan were wonderful. Life everywhere was buzzing with the pulses of music- from the upbeat sounds of pop songs to the spontaneous beats of electronic dance. Inside one of the newer clubs, known as “Moonlight Silvers”, neon lights moved to the rhythm of the electronic music.
In the strobe lights, the club dancers moved like lagging images on a display screen during a movie or video game. It was a very interesting night, particularly for one chestnut haired man. Aster dressed for the evening in a gray button down, sleeves rolled just under his elbows, and blue jeans. The tutor normally visited places similar to coffee shops or jazz houses on nights like these.
But this evening he felt a bit more adventurous.
He’d read an article online about the club. A very interesting atmosphere that was totally new to the man. However, he didn’t quite know how to dance to the music. As such, he’d taken his place near the bar, nursing a small glass of bourbon. It was one of his more preferred drinks, although he often enjoyed sweeter things.
Aster noticed many things while observing the people. The different ways those bodies swayed between the guys and gals. The sways affected by controlled substances compared to those who were completely free of anything. These were just most obvious of the differences.
Aster also noticed that the bartender did his job well, serving a variety of drinks to all the patrons of the club this particular evening. The air was alive with electricity of the exploding pulses of everyone in the house. No one could be found in the scene and not feel their heartbeat speed up with the beat.
I wonder what other kinds of people would show up to a place like this. Would be nice to witness or meet others among other things while I'm here. Who knows, maybe someone will even teach me how to dance in this kind of environment. The Simon family fugitive thought as a smirk worked its way onto his face.

THEN I HIT THE STAGE AND REMEMBER WHY I'M HERE "Oh come one man! Just one chance is all I ask." A pleading Lucien asked with his hands together in a praying motion towards a rather busy man in a suit with the loud bass and sounds of the club were rather muffled in his rather nice office. "I don't know kid. I don't think your band has got enough experience to be playing a live show here." It was rather evident that the club's owner was getting a bit annoyed by Lucien's attempt of getting the band he manages a gig at the club. Mainly it had something to do with Lucien not making an appointment or telling someone he was showing up, and basically walked in the office and asked for the chance. "Oh come on! I am already begging, you seriously do not want me to get on my knees as well? Trust me it isn't a pretty sight." Even Lucien had to admit that getting on his knees and begging for an chance for the band to play was a little low, but if he had too he might even throw in a tear or two to really sell the point.
"Fine, fine. I will listen to the demo CD. Just get the hell out of my office before I call security." The man sighed before caving in to Luce's request and with the CD placed on the desk Lucien made his way out of the office with a rather smug smirk on his face. As he left the office, the flashing lights and rather infectious music filled the air, however Luce couldn't help but keep his rather shit eating smirk for another few seconds before making his way across the club, as one thought ran through his mind."Time to celebrate a job well done!"
It was rather evident that his way of celebrating was to get a drink as he made a B-line for the rather inviting bar."Hey barkeep, a rum and coke please. Heavy on the rum." He asked the bartender as he sat down to a rather tall individual, and it a matter of seconds he received his drink. He raised his glass slightly in a toasting fashion as he examined the rather dark mixture,"Now hopefully the buggers don't actually mess this gig up." The blonde mumbled under his breath as he remembered his last few attempts to get the band off the ground, however they manage to mess it up one way or another. This train of thought made him sigh as he took a quick drank of his mixture before looking at those around him, mainly the man next to him.
"It looks like you don't go to these kinda places often." He commented to the glasses wearing man, it was kinda easy to tell due to the way that he didn't appear to have danced earlier and came on his own, sure Luce was the same way tonight but that was only because he had a goal when he stepped foot in the club."So what brings you to a place like this then, hmmm?" Luce asked as he took another quick drink, however it appeared that his glass was already half empty at this point and the man had nothing better to do at this point so he might as well heckle the guy beside him. | Über-Creep appears WORDS: 568 TAGGED PERSON |

I wanna know About these strangers like me ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ "It looks like you don't go to these kinda places often."
Aster glanced over to the blond haired man who’d sat beside him. He seemed to be about his age, if he could guess correctly. He wasn’t drenched in the sweat that soaked the other attendees that spent any amount of time on club’s dance floor.
When asked what his reason for being at the club was, to which he smiled. “I read about this place online and felt a little adventurous tonight. So far, I haven’t seen a reason not to like it. I just wished I knew how to dance to this music!” The tutor said as he took another sip of his drink. It wasn’t often that he was able to enjoy himself, especially when causally talking to a stranger.
That’s right- I should be wary of him. I never know who my brother might have as spies. I wouldn’t doubt that he would place people in this atmosphere either. The Simon heir thought as his eye locked onto the man and began looking him over with a more vigil eye.
Nothing looked immediately menacing about this man. But that couldn’t be easily assessed, as Aster knew the best hitmen and assassins were able to hide the tools of their trades and any intent to kill a target.
But this man felt… different.
Almost like a long lost friend or relative. That instant sensation of comfort found in family. The instance when you lower your defenses. But he couldn’t afford such luxuries, especially since he was targeted by so many nowadays.
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t catch your name. But I can’t expect you to give me yours unless I give mine.” Aster said as he held out his hand to the man. “Aster Thornbrooke, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

THEN I HIT THE STAGE AND REMEMBER WHY I'M HERE With the response of feeling adventurist and wanted to go to the club but didn't know how to dance to the music, Lucien couldn't help but let out a small chuckle,"Well hey don't look at me to teach ya to dance, I am not really good at that either. However a few more drinks and I might change my mind." He said in a teasing tone as he took another quick sip of his drink, and at this point the glass was just about empty, not a good sign for Lucien as it meant that he might get too much to drink tonight, and that is not a good sight for anyone. He then took the time to examine the man beside him, and judging by appearance he seemed about the same age, but with a rather obvious height difference. The one ting that struck the man however was the fact that he had a sense of familiarly with the man and after a moment of thinking that was due to his drinking, however Luce isn't that much of a light weight to get tipsy after one drink so another possibility remained, that he saw the glasses wearing man before.
That caused the man to scratch his chin slightly to see if he could remember where he had seen this stranger before however he kept on drawing a blank and he let out a quick sigh before finishing his drink and motioning to the bartender,"Another please. This time hold the coke." He was then greeted to his glass half full with rum and ice and he held it in his hand slightly while sloshing the drink around as he tried to get the thought out of his head. He quickly snapped out of it when Aster gave out his name and asked for his."Lucien. Lucien Alfonsi, but Luce is just fine. Nice meeting 'cha too." He introduced himself as he gave him a rather quick and lazily handshake with his free hand before taking another gulp of his glass.
"Hey I don't know if it is the alcohol talking, but do I know you? You seem familiar." With his hand still around the glass he pointed his index finger at Aster as this feeling was simply bugging him and he was about... 61% sure that it wasn't the alcohol that made him think that, and it clearly didn't help his case that he was drinking more. Then a thought came to him and his eyes widened, was it that he regained his memories and recognized the man?
"You're not from that manager from our rival are ya?! Well you're too late, cause I got 'er first!" The outburst was a bit loud but was still muffled out by the loud music in the background but was still a bit loud for the people close to him. Luce's face took a red-ish color as it was evident that the drinks quickly went to his head. Today, he seemed he was a rather lightweight... | Drunk Lucy... WORDS: 509 TAGGED PERSON |

Kindred Spirits are Like Two of a Kind Worth Noticing ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ ✥ An eyebrow raised as the man spoke of drinks and dancing. Yeah he may be curious, but was this guy really potentially hitting on him? No he’s not, just getting a little funny from the alcohol is all. He thought as he took a sip from his own glass.
"Hey I don't know if it is the alcohol talking, but do I know you? You seem familiar."
This question raised the attention alert in Aster’s mind. So it wasn’t just a one-sided feeling. There may be something more to this. Was it possible that they had crossed paths before? It was doubtful, since the “chemistry” between them wasn’t of mere acquaintance, but of a stronger bond.
Before Aster could even ask him any information, Luce spoke up again. "You're not from that manager from our rival are ya?! Well you're too late, cause I got 'er first!" The man exclaimed with a reddened face. First, a blank mask covered Aster’s face. Then a grin cracked the empty shell just moment before the man began laughing.
“That’s too funny. No, I don’t have any connections with any sort of band, especially not one in a manager position.” He said as he wiped the tears that had formed in his eyes. Of course he might jump to a conclusion, but it was nice to see a person with a competitive spirit in him.
“I do share that sense of familiarity with you too. At first, I thought it was just some crazy imagination of mine. So, what areas have you been to in your life? That would probably be the safest place to start. I am interested to figure this mystery out though.” He said as he positioned himself to be more comfortable.
It was definitely going to be a long conversation probably. But other than that, Aster was happy. Tonight’s adventure was panning out a bit more than the Simon family heir had originally intended on finding.

THEN I HIT THE STAGE AND REMEMBER WHY I'M HERE A bunch of different factors could cause Lucien for his rather quick down-bringing into this state of early drunkenness, either it be from the stress of his job or that a higher power just really likes to see the man act like a fool in-front of others? A little from column A and a bunch from column B, however that's a different matter because in the present he was currently making a fool of himself without the aide of an higher power, and it was evident from Aster's reaction after his outburst. When the man started to laugh however and stated that he had no relations to a band or even manages one, and with a skeptical eye he glanced at Aster once again before laughing himself,"Ha, yeah I guess your right. Besides you can't really be Takeba as there are missing a few key points between you and well, her." While he was laughing on the outside, he surely was face-palming on the inside."She must never know about this. If word goes out that I confuse her with a guy, my ass is gonna be kicked..." As he remembered what the woman was like when she got angry, as he has the bruises to prove it.
However when Aster mentioned that he also sensed a feeling of them knowing each-other, his face suddenly went to a more thoughtful look, however he didn't really look the part due to the redden hue his cheeks took from his alcohol but he still tried. "Well let's see. I spent most of my time living in a small town in France with my uncle. In terms of being in Namimori however, I had been here for around two months now. So perhaps I saw you when I first got to town, or maybe I saw you in France? Have you been abroad at anytime?" He asked Aster after giving him the details of his past locations. It truly would be nice to figure out why the two shared this same sense, because under any-other circumstance he might have called it a coincidence, or the other person might see it as a weird pick-up line. Luckily this time it was a mutual feeling, and more then that it might end up being a encounter that might alter his life further down the road. | Sorry about bad post... WORDS: 391 TAGGED PERSON |

The tutor smiled as he heard the manager's deduction he wasn't his rival. Yeah, I think I'm missing some necessary qualifications for that. He thought as he took another sip from his drink. It was nice to have a casual chat with someone. The last person he'd been able to do that with was one of his students. Before that, it had been his grandfather. "I lived in Germany and Italy for a time, but I've never visited France." Aster spoke to the man's question. It was odd, as he was trying to figure out as his mind kept racing through potential matches to figure out the situation surrounding a prior meeting. Then Luce mentioned being in Namimori for only a couple of months. "Maybe, but I doubt it." The red head said bluntly and with a sigh. It bothered him when he couldn't put people to meetings. His mind felt like it had almost hit the target. Even though the answer didn't come to him, he realized there was two questions he could ask. "Okay, well I have two questions for you." He began as he leaned in closer and and began talking in a hushed tone. "One: Do you have another name besides the one you gave me? Two: Have you found that you possess something that could be called... a strange ability?" The Shimon boss asked. It was a long shot, but something felt like one of those was the right question to ask at this moment. Words: 250 Tag: SHILOH MATTHEWSNote: I was having issues with my posting template. |

THEN I HIT THE STAGE AND REMEMBER WHY I'M HERE This truly wasn't how Luce planned for this whole conversation, he was simply curious on why someone like Aster was hanging out in the new bar alone, and now it somehow it managed to turn into a game of, "Let's see if I can remember where we met." Regardless of how this ends up however, it would seem like an good experience and perhaps make for a good laugh when the two finally figure things out. When the red-headed man explained that he had been in Italy and Germany but not France it made the man pout slightly,"Well that won't do. This is starting to get a bit weird now." He stated as he took his right hand under his scarf to give his neck a bit of a scratch, while the barkeep walked over and motioned if the now sobering up Lucien if he would like a bit more, however he shook his head and waved him away. This wasn't the time to indulge in alcohol, well not until they figure out this whole mess then he can have some-more in celebration.
When Aster mentioned something about questions, Luce only raised an brow,"Uhhh, alright." Then suddenly the taller individual leaded over slightly and spoke in a more hush tone, something about a different name, and special powers? This had now truly taken a turn for the weird, however if it was someone other then Lucy they would have just walked away and called the guy a loon, Lucien however put some thought in the questions. "Well, my uncle did call me Wataru or something like that whenever he got really pissed at me while I was growing up, if that means anything." He responded to the first question after a few seconds, the second one however made his eyes a tad bit shifty, and his posture changed ever so slightly,'Does this guy know? No that's impossible, he said he wasn't in France so he can't possibly know what happened there.' The thoughts ran through his head, as a bead of sweat formed on his forehead before he responded with the sole intention of avoiding the matter,"You mean besides my strange ability of melting stuff? Nope, can't think of one." His eyes went wide as he noticed that he just said the one thing he was gonna avoid mentioning. 'Damn you half drunken mouth, why didn't you listen to the mostly sober brain?' He thought before sighing. This definitely isn't going to go well, as now the other man is gonna get creeped out and possibly leave before they figure out the mystery at hand. | Drunk Luce can't keep a secret WORDS: 446 TAGGED PERSON |
