The music had finally started, and people were dancing on the floor. The play list, so far, suspiciously played songs that were from DDR, as Axel pointed out. The group had been sitting down and drinking. Everyone except Vexen had a light buzz. He was still trying to figure out the logic behind the mind numbing substance.
The song "So Deep" began playing in the club. Red, pink, green, and purple lights flashed with the song causing the techno feel to come over the club. "I don't know about you, but I'm going to dance." Axel got up and walked to the center of the floor. "Hiya' cutie" A girl tapped Axel on the shoulder. "Do you want to dance with me?" The girl had a black t-shirt on that said "I'm out of your league." Her jeans were white as snow. "Jackpot. I'm getting some tonight." Axel's mind went blank after that thought. "Sure, let's do it."
"Look at him. He seems to have made a friend quickly." Xigbar turned around in his bar stool to face the dance floor. "I think he's making a fool of himself." Vexen opened the bottle of "Smirnoff" brand Vodka and sniffed. "What a peculiar drink, it looks like water." He put his finger at the tip and tasted the drop on his finger tip.
A crowd was gathering around Luxord. "Do you think you can really out drink me boy?" Luxord chuckled at the staggering man in front of me. "Yuck Fou, you're cheeteeng. Eye'm teh greetest at dreenking evar." He spewed a flurry of slurred and vulgar words. "I, just simply, am better than you. In fact, you pick anyone in this club, and I'd be able to out drink them." His inebriated adversary fell over. Luxord smiled and folded his arms across his chest. He leaned back in the chair and chuckled.
The lights dropped down to two colors red and purple. Axel was busting out some hot ass techno moves. "Anastasia" The song went to its downbeat. "Oh snap" Someone behind Axel commented. The redhead began doing the robot. "My name is Zair" (Zah-ear) the girl Axel was dancing called over the music. "What's yours?" She started popping and locking. "The name's Axel. Memorize it for later." He smirked and continued with his robot. "Break it down old school dude." Another person in the back cheered Axel.
"You sure can drink; what's your name?" A woman in her mid 20's sat at the table with Luxord. He covered his goatee with his hands. "Was he really going to tell her that his name is Luxord? How would that look if she found out all of his friends names had "x" in them. She'd think he was gay. That's what he thought. "My name is…" he paused "Just call me "L." Luxord smiled. "So miss…uh, I didn't catch your name. What is it?" He raised his left eyebrow and leaned forward. The woman pulled back her long, black hair and leaned forward as well. She only wore a tank top with a black skirt and black shoes. "You didn't catch it, because I didn't throw it. If you want my name, you'll have to out drink me and my friends." She pointed to the three sexy girls behind her.
"Hi."
"Hello."
"How are you?'
"Jackpot" L (Luxord) shouted in his mind. "Very well ladies, I accept your challenge. Although I wonder, what happens if I win?" He looked at all four women. The woman thought for a minute. "If you win, you get us." They all stood together smiling. "Jackpot" L shouted. "Well, let us begin. Barkeep, we'll need 12 bottles of Vodka" he looked back at the women. "So what are you ladies having?" They all looked at each other.
"C'mon Vexen, you have to try it. We invited you out to have fun. Not drinking will just spoil the moment." Xigbar handed the new bottle of Vodka to Vexen. "No thank you. I prefer to remain in my current, state of mind; sober. Anyway, don't we need a designated driver?" Vexen pushed the bottle away. "It tastes horrible anyway. I don't want to drink in my non-existing life." Xigbar put the liquor down. "See Vexen, that's your problem. You're still talking like a nobody. Take a look around" Xigbar grabbed Vexen by the shoulders and moved his hand to show everyone to Number IV. "While we're here, we're just people. Nobody noticed we're nobodies. Even if they did, they don't care. The four of us are just regular people in the club tonight. Just relax and have fun." Vexen released himself from Xigbar's grip. "Forgive me if I don't share your enthusiasm." He walked off to a booth in the far part of the club.
"Hey, if anyone asks, your name is Even." Xigbar called to him as he walked away.
