Micah felt like he stood out like a sore thumb when he arrived at the club. He felt awkward in his own skin, and despite trying to dress appropriately.. he wasn't really sure what appropriate club clothes even were.
He tried to keep it simple, a white button up and tanned pants and brown belt and dark brown dress shoes. His medium length dirty blonde hair was nicely combed, framing his freckles face. But as he adjusted his round glasses and looked around.. he felt like a deer stumbling into a wolf den. It didn't help with his lankiness he also looked like one.
He tried to put on a brave face, though he was likely failing, and made his way to the bar. Focusing solely on this goal, get a drink.. that should help right? God, he was wondering if it would save everyone time if he just left now and saved anyone's time with his presence. But he was going to try at least. At the bar he was staring at the menu, squinting a bit as he contemplated what to even order. When was the last time he went to a bar?
After an eventful show, the DJ tended to party in the same spot- why wouldn't he? Everyone already knew and adored him, it certainly was a pleasant ego-boost. However, tonight's venue didn't feel like the right crowd; not enough strangers, and not nearly as much dancing as he'd like.
These two things were a necessity to Nikolas, giving the underground club one last look before heading out the backdoor. As he wandered the streets of New York, nerves still excitedly buzzing from whatever the stagehand had given him before performing, Minin spotted a bar- busy and loud, even from the outside. It was perfect.
And so, there Niko leaned, right at the edge of the counter. He still wore his mixing outfit, designed to be very "breathable".. meaning that his shirt was practically mere scraps hanging onto him, chest covered by bright-colored fishnet. His dark pants looked like they'd be ripped at by bears. Blue eyes scanned the chatty, dancing crowd, looking for a target. Strangers were always the best folk to mess around with at places like these, they'd always had a story. Shit, Nikolas certainly did. Sipping the last of his first vodka redbull- the first of many that night- he placed down his drink. The DJ had opened his mouth to order another, but a new face stuck out in his vision. A devilish grin spread across his lips, pushing off from his spot at the leftest edge of the counterspace and moving through the crowds as if they were water; Niko ended up right behind Micah, leaning over his shoulder to leer at the drink options.
"Need help finding something, stranger?" Minin asked, his accent thick on his tongue.
