Scouting the Area

Usually Katsu! traveled in a black limo with his body guard at the wheel to get around. However, this time, he had taken public transport into Nadashiki, and wore a disguise so people didn't recognize who he was. Instead of wearing his usual yellow and black, with his signature cap, he instead wore black trousers with matching shoes, and a red lean jacket. On his head he wore a black cap, and a black pair of sunglasses aswell. The sun was hanging low in the sky, emphasizing the night was soon to take Nadashiki. Katsu! had remembered the rumors of the gang infested land at night. Apparently it wasn't safe to be alone. Luckily for him, he was never alone when his Persona was involved. If there were to be trouble, he'd easily handle his adversaries. Whatever the case, the young pop idol continued down the sidewalk heading to the Shiki Nightclub. Years ago, when he was just starting his career, he held a small concert there with his fellow band members. It was well received but he wasn't sure if that was because of Nyarlathotep's influence or if they were just really talented. Whatever the case, the goofy young boy did not care one bit. He had a pep in his step as he walked towards his destination with a large sinister grin upon his face. If he weren't wearing shades, someone would easily be able to spot his glowing yellow eyes, emphasizing his connection to the Crawling Chaos. No one suspected such an innocent boy such as himself aligned with an entity that wanted the world to end. After all Katsu!'s talk about how the "sky was falling", he seemed to be one of the main causes for it. However, unlike Kogami who seemed to be ready to toss himself into the fray, the young devious Katsu! went about things a different way.

When he finally arrived to the bar, he'd walk right up to the door and knock on it a few times. Since the night hadn't exactly fallen as of yet, the club was still closed, but people surely were on their way. The bouncer looked at Katsu! and shook his head no for entry. However, the boy would lower his shades and tilt his hat alittle so the man could recognize him. Once doing this, he was allowed entry, and the door would be closed and locked once he entered. With a smile, Katsu! would greet the large man. "It's been awhile, Bouncer-san. Is Kaeko here? I need to talk to her about a little event I'm planning, but I may need this place. My manager will buy the place out for the night, if it's possible. If you help, I'll even get my band here to perform a free concert for you. But this is small event is more like a.. charity sort of thing, ya know?" The devious young boy would rub the back of his head with a nervous smile. He was known to be untrustworthy and spontaneous, but with money on the line and the promise of a free concert in the future, perhaps Kaeko would let him slide this time around.

Reaching into his pocket and grabbing his favorite candy pieces, he'd place one in his mouth and begin to chew while watching the bouncer go retrieve Kaeko. Perhaps he could get away with this. As he chewed on his candy sticks, he watched the female Kaeko walking down the steps with her hands crossed and a stern look on her face. Katsu! returned her glare with a childish grin. "Kaeko-sama! Long time no see! I hope you've been healthy, wealthy, and wise!" The pop idol popped onto his left foot and did jazz hands for emphasis. The woman rolled her eyes. Katsu! knew alittle about the nightclub owner, such as how she made the club almost specifically for the youth. He knew she loved kids, so he'd play his childish routine to get on her good side. "I was hoping I could hold a small event here on Sunday. My manager will pay you, and I'll be in your debt to perform free, no charge, whenever you'd like. That'd get you some more publicity here, right? More money is always nice, right??" The young boy gave a large smile while puffing his cheeks in an adorable way. The woman, crossing her arms, would roll her eyes. She was falling into the power of youth! The young pop idol would skip up to her and give a few nods. "Okay, well there are certain things that need to be done. Of course, nothing illegal! Just stuff like.." The young Katsu! began to explain the situation to the Nightclub owner, using various hand signals and bouncing. He seemed very enthusiastic, while she seemed drained from his hyperactive attitude.

After what felt like hours of negotiation, Katsu! would slam his palms together and give a thankful bow to the club owner. "Awesome, thank you so much! This is totally gonna save you alot of money in the future too. I know buying bottles in bulk can be so expensive! Atleast, that's what I figured after watching Shameless a season or two, Kehehe!" The pop idol snickered as he placed his shades back upon his face and gave an innocent grin towards the woman. "Be sure to keep this super secret, okay? Tell no one the details! It's gonna be a huge surprise!" With a final nod, Katsu! would turn on his heels and skip playfully towards the doorway. After unlocking it, he would exit and push past the crowd that were forcing their way into the club at that time. Hitting the streets once again, the young idol would walk with a pep in his step. Who didn't love it when a plan came together ever so nicely? Well, was it really a plan? It was more, thinking off the top of his head. Impulse and nothing more. The boy was like a dog chasing cars. When he finally caught the car, he knew not what to do with it. That was basically the brunt of his life. Act first, think later. Such madness in an innocent container was either one of the most brilliant weapons Nyarlathotep had on his side, or one of the most hindering. Who knew what the young Katsuro would do next, after all.
