24 Hours Ago
Illumi
It was 4:35am and Illumi was being chased by Mikey down Kukuru Mountain as part of his morning jog. The hot breath of the albino monster was so close that it tickled his ears, but Illumi stayed ahead. On and on through the dark forest they raced, sending startled birds dashing into the sky. Haunting howls echoed through the hills as tiger-wolves felt impending sunrise stir their blood. Just as the inky outline of the attendant's chalet emerged out of the woods, Mikey overtook him, so he grabbed onto the beast's shaggy fur and propelled himself through the air. The attendants stared open-mouthed as he crashed into their front yard. Mikey immediately pounced upon him and slavered him with drool.
Hisoka
It was 4:35am and Machi and Hisoka were jumping across the roof-tops of Hoso in York Shin chased by a gang of suit wearing thugs. The S#&!heads swore and cursed so colorfully that the two of them were out of breath from laughing. "Get back here, ya son of a motherless goat!" "Waste those feckin' eedjits!" Tired of the game, they hurled the packets back at the Mafia and disappeared into the 24h diner next to the train station. When Paku and Shizuku arrived by the 6am coach, they found the two crashed out across the table, snoring.
ONLY
It was 4:35am when Kelvin Syakhbandani finally had a chance to relax. He had not slept for the past 72 hours, so busy as he was coordinating the most intense party of the year. But now everything was perfectissimo down to the last detail. He brushed back his wavy, shoulder length hair and poured himself a glass of ancient Vino. Touching his throatmike, he called and waved for all the tech dudes to join him.
"Are you sure, boss? This is 500dollars per bottle!"
Kelvin laughed, "Only…"
"Only…YEAH!" The techs cheered. "Let's drink to ONLY!"
"Hey don't start just yet-- let's wait for everyone."
His favorite techno track animated the atrium of the York Shin Supreme Court, sending the marble floor trembling to the adrenaline pumping beat. The audio phreak's keen ears picked out every level in the mix, from the sound of a guy shrieking through a plastic bag to pleasingly insane guitar riffs. Satisfied that the distorted music could be heard with crystal clarity, he raised his glass and everyone shouted.
Kelvin cracked his aristocratic knuckles.
Doors open in 16 hours.
To the most forbidden party in York Shin: The ONLY!

A/N: Big thanx to Orange-Maple for suggesting Kelvin Syakhbandani's name.
Yes, you read it right, that's the York Shin Supreme Court, lol. The party is hosted for the ultra elite and where better for their rave than the supreme court hired out for the night, so good it's illegal. The atrium is transformed by light screens into something really cool, you'll see in chp 4.
Reviews are love…!
