Iara leaned against the bar as she rocked fluidly to the intense beat coming from the speakers. Her dark brown eyes scanned the bar for "potentials" as her hips kept the beat.

"What are you thirsty for?"

She looked up and smiled poiltely at the bartender as she held up her lime green wristband, no drinks for her. "I'll take a sprite."

"You got it."

She smiled and tapped her nails on the bar top, tonight was going to be fun.

Nika had heard of people talking about a mutant club that had all sorts of things from drinks to pool tables, but the thing she wanted to see the most was the dance floor and to hear the music. She stepped up to the front door and showed the doorman her ID. Being underage she was given a green wrist band and allowed inside. The place was awesome. There were alot of patrons and she also noted the staff members walking about or serving drinks. This is my new hang out she thought to herself.

Walking a little further into the establishment she new people were looking at her. Most likely because of her feline features but possibly how she was dressed as well. Nika wore a white baby tee shirt that said Purrrfect in silvery glitter lettering. She also had on white tight fitting denim shorts and a pair of white Adidas shoes. Her tail flicked to the beat of the current song that was playing as she walked towards the bar area. She wanted to get something to drink before getting on the dance floor.

Finind an open spot next to another girl Nika leanded forward and called for the bar tender. "What'll ya have?" he asked her. "I'll have a coke please." The man nodded and fixed up her drink and set it on the bar top before heading to another customer. Nika picked up the cold glass and sipped the coke as she looked back out towards the rest of the establishment.

Nicki sighed as she walked into the club, fussing with the green band around her wrist. She didn't really like clubs all that much but she was so new in town she felt like she should go out and start talking to other people. Sides, with the exception of the few people she had met at school, she didn't know many other mutants and she heard this was a hot spot for them.

Walking over towards the bar and ordering a coke, Nicki looked down a ways and saw someone from the school. The cat girl. What was her name? Whatever.

Nicki bit her lip as she coke her coke, kicking her feet a little as she leaned against the wall, tugging on her plain black shirt before sliding her hand up and playing with her earring, a nervous tick.

What the hell was she even doing here?

Kaz had been here a few times before this night, though he got the feeling tonight would be a bit different from the others. Like normal they asked for his ID, he showed it to them, they cuffed him with a green band. Though like normal, as they were destracted he swiped a stack of silver bands, for those 21+. After passing the guys at the front, Kaz ripped off the green band and slapped a silver one on his wrist. He made his way towards the bar, but not in any rush. Watching the dancefloor with the flashing lights, and speakers thumping the music. He felt it all in his core. Of corse the ladies down there were most tempting. Letting his eyes linger for a moment longer before moving again, he bumped into a man walking past, and apologized, as he swiped his wallet took the money and replaced it in one swift motion. He repeated this seven, eight, nine more times before he reached the bar. He counted the bills by feel alone $650, <Not bad for nine people.>

Walking up to the bar he noticed two girls sitting next to eachother, they didn't seem to know eachother by their body language. One of them had...cat ears. <Currious.> He could tell she was shorter than he was. As he reached the bar, he put a hand on her head and absentmindedly rubbed behind one of her ears, "What's up kitten?" Calling to the bartender, "Whisky on the rocks." He got a currious look from the man, for which Kaz flashed his silver band, the guy nodded and grumbled something. Kaz didn't care what. He probably knew Kaz wasn't 21, but wouldn't pick a fight, since he payed well.

When he got his drink, he looked around, and noticed a shorter girl leaning against the wall not to far away sipping a coke. Speaking in a playful tone, "Hey short stack," He moved his head as he looked at her, inclining she could come to the bar, "Come here."

Nicki looked over at the cute guy at the bar calling her over. She was used to hearing things like "shortie" and "twig" so she was pretty used to hearing something to that effect and answering accordingly. She leaned off the wall, walking over to the man and the cat girl next to him, whom he was stroking.

"Uh, hey" Nicki licked her lips, trying not to sound nervous as she smiled down at the girl with the ears.

Not long after she had arrived Nika was sipping her drink and watching people dance. Then out of now where she feels someone petting her and calling her kitten. The same voice then called out to someone else calling them short stack. Who the heck is this guy and why is he touching me?, she thought.

Ducking her head away form the man's touch she turned to see who was being so bold. Whens he turned around she saw a guy who seemed to be checking out all the girls in the immediate area. One other girl was already walking closer to him. Nika had seen the girl at the mansion but never got to speak with her. The other girl smiled at Nika to which she smiled back politely but then looked back to the rude guy.

"Umm.. excuse you. What's wrong with you? You don't just start touching people like that."

He watched the shy girl walk over licking her lips trying so very hard to be bold. <That's just too cute.> Chuckling to himself absently. Not realizing he had still been rubbing the girl's ear until she pulled away and scolded him. Though he caught the glace the two girls gave eachother, and the telltale smile that they have met before, somewhere familiar to the both of them, he didn't say anything about it. Looking directly at the catgirl, "I appologize for my rudeness. Your ears are very cute, I didn't realize what I was doing." Kneeling down to one knee, he lifted the girl's hand, "I ask your forgiveness." As he did this he removed the old green band from her wrist and replaced it with a silver one with a $50bill slipped under it. Winking at her he very quietly said, "Fiesty, just like a cute Kitten."

Turning to the other girl, "Why are you hiding over there near the wall? Let me guess," Making a quiet noise like was thinking, "First time here, aaaand," Looked her in the eye, "You're a loner. Not sure what to do." Reaching up, he grabbed his drink. "Loosen up girlie." He offered his drink to her. As he did, he switched her green band with a silver one.

Raptor entered the club and saw Kaz he remembered him with a vengeance his red eye circled to its tiniest point and he read Kaz from top to bottom that look at the guys profile made him remember more and more about him he didn't start any trouble he didn't really want to get in any fights he'd probably win anyway he didn't really like the idea of staying here alone so he went over to say Hi to Kaz.
"Hey Kaz remember me old buddy, its me Raptor," he smiled at hopefully his newest friend but probably his newest enemy.

Nicki was amazed at how forward the man was. Between slipping the $50 to the girl with the ears and claiming to know Nicki's deal, she found the whole thing a little funny more than she found herself insulted.

"Not to sound like an after school special but I don't need alcohol to loosen up" Nicki smiled, sipping her coke. "But I appreciate the jesture" she brought out her hand "I'm Nicki"

Just as Nicki extended her hand, someone, Raptor apparently, cut his way over.

After the initial shock wore off from being slipped $50 Nika felt even more insulted. Was he trying to bribe her to be quiet about what he did? She watched the other girl approach. Then another guy came over and started talking to Kaz was his name apparently. Nika heard the other gilr introduce herself and she saw her extend her hand out to Kaz. Acting quickly Nika shot her hand out to meet Nicki's before Kaz could. "Nice to meet you Nicki, I'm Nika. I've seen you around the school before." She then turned to Kaz. "Doesn't feel too good when someone is rude is it?" Turning back to Nicki she let go of the girls' hand. "Sorry I'm not trying to be rude to you but he felt the need to touch me for no reason so I wanted to get him back for it."

Kaz laughed when the girl spoke. "No, you don't need any it seems. But you don't seem as nervous as you did a moment ago." He gave her a polite smile. As he reached for the girls' hand, the kitten grabbed it before he did.
"Doesn't feel too good when someone is rude is it?" He gave the girl a smirk.
"Nice to meet you Nicki, I'm Kaz, Kaz Corydon." Smiling fully to Nicki as he stood up. Looking at Nika, "Actually, it doens't really bother me. I try not to sink to the level of humans." Taking a sip of his drink, "Besides, in your quest to get back at me, I think you may have just been rude to Nicki there." Looking to Nicki, "I appologize if I'm being persumptous."

Kaz looked Raptor in the eyes, he fully remembered who he was, but, "I'm sorry," He paused and looked as if he was searching his memory, "I don't remember who you are. It's obvious we met before, since you know my name, but I can't place you." There was a twinkle in his eye, unmistakeable what he said was a lie, Kaz intentionally let it show through to Raptor, while it was hidden from the girls. "I hope you enjoy yourself here, the drinks are good, the people in the corner play mean games of pool, and floor is, well, you'll find out." Giving Raptor a smile, he turned back to the girls. "Well Nika, since you rejected my peace offering, shall I take it back?" With that, his hand snapped out like lightning and took the $50 back he had given her.

Nicki's eyes widened as she was made a part of some kind of revenge. That being said, Nicki was glad to meet Nika...it would help to have a friend in the school. "Hi Nika"

On the other hand...she was slightly more interested in getting to know the cute guy who seemed to have guts from here to England.

"Nice to meet you too Kaz" she smiled, searching for any info she might have had in her brain about flirting. She wasn't very good with that. She ended up just playing with her earlobe, like she always did when she was nervous.

Her eyes widened as he grabbed the $50 and placed it back in his pocket in one fluid motion. "Wow" she chuckled, actually impressed. "That was pretty cool"

Suddenly the $50 bucks were gone and in Kaz's hand. Oh boy he's quick, she thought. "Now why did you do that for? I didn't know you were trying to make peace. I thought you were trying to get me to shut my mouth about you playing with my ears." Nika glanced at Nicki who seemed to like the little demonstration by Kaz. She gave the girl a bit of a curious look but then returned to normal. "Look Kaz, maybe we got off on the wrong foot. I thought you were being extremely forward when you started touching me right away so I got defenssive and I'm sorry." That being said she extended her hand out to Kaz. "I'm Nika."

<Thought that would work.> Smiling inward to himself and a bit outwardly towards Nicki. He noticed the surprise on Nika's face when he retrieved the money. A friendly playful smirk played its way accross Kaz's face, "There are easier and quicker ways to get someone to keep quiet." Laughing lightly, "Besides, what would be the point of doing that? I'm sure a lot of people would look and shrug or nod their heads. Your ears ARE hard to resist." He held out his hand, he hand the money palmed and hidden in the same hand, "I honestly didn't realize what I was doing until you jerked away. I appologize." Shaking her hand, "I'm Kaz." When he released he made sure she had grip of the $50.

Nicki smiled as the two seemed to be trying to make peace. Sure, she didn't know either of them all that well but she always felt much more comfortable when all the people around here were getting along with one another.

"So do you usually hand over $50 to people you hardly know Kaz?" Nicki smiled, chuckling as she brought her drink to her lips.
