The Concert of Ages.. Tumblr_m3ja4niJKf1ro9dc3o1_500

Lines stretched out infront of the moderate sized nightclub as various lights flashed and emphasized it was a pretty important night. Music blared from the nightclub as a high surplus of guards watched the doors, and the outer perimeter of the club vigilantly. They didn't belong to the Club's usual employees and was instead body guards supplied to Katsu! by his manager. Even though the lines were so long, no one was getting entry without a ticket or special permission from Katsu! himself. Within the club was even crazier than outside. Various people were dancing on the dance floor, soaking in the atmosphere and having a hell of a time. Since it was a "FREE DRINKS" night, many had a drink in their hand, and took advantage of the free entertainment. It was all off the expense of Kurei Katsu!, the star of this little together. Though his band was not there to join in on the excitement, his solo performances were surprisingly well down. He had been practicing since he figured one or twice he'd need to perform alone if his band was off elsewhere. Being aligned with the Crawling Chaos, he found himself traveling around alot. This wasn't his first time at a rodeo, in other words. Being up on stage, he found himself at home as he sang into the mic while doing various dance routines practiced in the Shibakuzoi studio. As he performed, his eyes scanned the crowd for people on interests. After all, he did personally invite a few people didn't he? If they were to arrive, security would take their tickets or check their name on the list. If they were on it, they'd be escorted up to the second floor of the club into the VIP section. This section was filled with large couches, a mini bar, and various tables. The guard would offer them/him/her a seat.

Bring various drinks to the table soon after, some would be alcoholic beverages, while others were just regular sodas, and some even water. It was a wide range that surely held atleast one person's favorite drink there. Once the guard was done his duties, he'd give the group a bow. "Katsu! will be with you shortly." With that said, he headed back towards the stairs to leave the group to their lonesome. Meanwhile, Katsu! was coming close to the end of his first performance, as the music apparently grew in volume and his dancing became alot more energized. He twirled the mic on his palm and spun on his right heel with grace. Twisting his hips and over all showing his grace, the young pop idol would suddenly come to a stop with his dance moves as the song faded to its last beat and the lights dimmed upon him. After the song was officially over, the lights would return and show Katsu! standing on the stage while waving his hand to the people out in the crowd. "Hai Hai! I love you all and thank you for coming! Think of this as my gift to you, Mhm! Please, everything is free so there's no reason to hold yourself back! I'm going to take a short break, but I'll be back to continue the performance soon! BAI BAI!" The playful young boy gave a wink before placing the mic back on its stand and exiting, stage right.

Walking off stage, Katsu! would wipe the beads of sweat of his head before making his way towards the stairs. A bartender would offer him a drink, but the young boy would pass on the offer. "No time, Bartender-san, but thank you very much." He gave an innocent smile as he stopped by the side of the bar and reached down for a dufflebag. Apparently it held his belongings. Why trust it with security after all? Whatever the case, he shuffled his belongings around for alittle abit, not yet heading up the stairs to greet anyone who had made it. Was this just another concert of something much more? Well that was to be found out very soon, right? I mean, Katsu! could be trusted right? He'd never try something foul by using his profession right?

"Holy..." Cole whispered to himself as the lines to the local night club stretched far and wide. The chiseled teenager stood across the street; back up against the brick wall of the neighboring establishment. "Why am I even here?" He asked himself as the cheery pop music seeped out of every nook and cranny of the nightclub. The fighter shuddered out of disgust upon picking up such 'dreadful' sounds. "This must be what that one dude was going through with my music... I owe that chump one serious apology." Cole shook his head in attempt to drown out the music. However, a trio of females passed the building he was leaning against; heading directly towards the pulsating nightclub. Cole blinked twice and smiled, "That's why I came..." He paused and eyed the females swaying hips as they frantically crossed the somewhat busy street. "I came for the ladies..." The teen pushed his back off the wall and shoved both hands into the corresponding jean pockets. He exhaled deeply; his warm breath somewhat visible as it ascended. Tonight was a rather cold one, so Cole dressed accordingly. He wore a white and red letters-men jacket. On the back of the jacket resided a pair of black boxing gloves caught ablaze with red fire. Underneath the jacket, Cole simply wore a snug fitting tank-top. He wore dark blue baggy jeans and white hi-top basketball sneakers. If Cole ever had 'proper' club attire, what he wore that very moment would be it.

The brawler crossed the street with lazy steps. He found himself at the end of a very long and excited line of people. But he soon realized he didn't need to wait for these people to get in before him; he did have that VIP pass after all. Needless to say, Cole didn't hesitate once he caught light of such knowledge. "Well shit." He muttered to himself taking a step forward, putting his arms between two people and parting them away with very little effort, "I got a show to get it!" He continued to part the club-goers one by one with a very smug look etched across that smooth ebony skin of his. The people glared up at him with colorful words and facial expressions. But that wouldn't stop the 6'7 fighter. He'd return the looks and words ten fold; causing a lot of the upset people to fall silent. After fifteen minutes of this, the teenager reached the front of the line and stood eye to eye with one of the bouncers. "Didn't know they bred em' this big in Japan." He shook his head, reached into his back pocket, pulled out the laminated ticket, and flashed it at the brawny Japanese bouncer. The bouncer nodded and stepped aside shortly afterwards; allowing Cole instant access. The club-goers booed and groaned at the sight; they were really hoping Cole would get his just desserts, but this clearly wasn't the case tonight. Before he vanished behind the door, the fighter rose his arm and extended his middle finger upward to the club-goers who were booing and groaning behind his back. Suddenly, the heavy metal door shut and Cole was within the club...

Upon entrance, the Boxer was escorted to the second floor almost immediately. "A dude can get use to this kinda treatment, shit..." He thought to himself as he slowly followed behind the escort. In mere minutes they reached the second floor; a lush room riddled with various items to please even the most neediest or pickiest of guests. The Brawler produced an impressed whistle as he walked over to the window and looked down at the stage where he saw the one known as Katsu! The Fighter couldn't help but laugh as he watched the male please the audience with his moves and singing. The escort said something about Katsu joining him shortly, but Cole paid the words no real mind; he was to busy laughing at the dancing male on stage. After the refreshing laugh, he turned around to say something to the escort, but he realized he was alone at that point. "Ummm?" He shrugged his shoulders, "No sweat off my sack, yo." He shouted; planting himself within the couch and indulging himself on the various amount of drinks spread across the table.

After fiddling around in his bag for a few more seconds, the young idol would stand with a wide innocent grin. "Awesome, everything's there!" Folding the bag over his shoulder, he'd begin his way towards the stair way with a playful bounce. Of course on his way towards the stairs, he came across many people who wanted to meet him. He nodded his head. He shook hands. He did it all to make them happy. After all, this was for everyone! Katsu! was showing just how much he "loved" those around him with this concert. When he finally made it to the stairs, security would give him a nod and allow him to ascend to the second floor. They move over and blocked the path so the stray fans wouldn't follow their idle. In a light jog, he'd make it to the second floor to see a familiar male indulging himself in the various drinks. Katsu! gave a wide grin as he rubbed his head and gave an innocent tilt. "Already starting without me, rival-san? How cruel~ I'm wounded, Mmm!" The playful young boy spun on his heel before spinning towards a couch and falling down upon it with a bounce. "I'm totally surprised you came!.. That's what she said, Keheeh! But like seriously dude, this isn't your type of music, Kehaha. You surely don't have the look of a schoolgirl to be into my lovely voice, Mm!" The bartender would come over to Katsu! and offer the young boy a drink that he would deny. Had to keep his voice in prime condition, right? "So when'd you get here, guy? Didn't bring a date? Bwah! Haha! Forever alone, huh Hannah Brotanna? Seleve Bromez? For shame, my friend!" The pop idol would hold his stomach and give a heart filled laugh towards Cole.

The minutes ticked away as the frantic screams of the adoring fans; male and female alike echoed through the joyful nightclub. "Can't believe people actually call this shit music..." The self-proclaimed pugilist murmured to himself; the alcoholic beverage sliding down the gullet with a first burning sensation which quickly turned into something sweet and refreshing. The ebony male shook his head, chuckled, and sunk deeper into the plush sofa. "Dude really knows how to treat the guests, I know that much." Suddenly; in the midst of relaxing, Katsu busted into the room and threw himself upon the sofa directly across from Cole. The robust Boxer glared at the hyperactive male for a moment before busting out into hyena-esque laughter. The male spoke; spouting a very bad and out of taste joke mixed with more bad and out of taste words. However, Cole himself was one for these bad and out of taste jokes and words, so he'd found them funny. He continued to laugh and spoke shortly afterwards, "Yo, you said free drinks. You think I'mma pass up a party like this?!" He paused and took another shot; head frantically shaking from side to side as the substance collided with the pit of his stomach. "And besides, listening to your... Music; or whatever you call it is a small price to pay for such rewards, amirite?" He cackled at the second string of words that came from the so called 'pop-idol'. "Me?! Date?! Bro, do you see all the fine females walking around this joint?! You think a person like myself would seriously bring another broad to jeopardize my chances with all these fine honey-dips?! My good sir! You do not know your rival at all!" Laughter seeped out of the Boxer at the climax of the words. He sunk even deeper into the sofa and thought about how long he really has been here. "I got here in the middle of your performance and just been chillin' ever since." He shrugged; he lost track of the time.

Katsu! gave a sly grin, as his eyes narrowed and he placed a finger on his chin. "So free drinks is the way to steal a person's heart, huh? That's funny, who would have thought!" Of course his tone was joking as he kicked his feet like a child playfully. "Whatever the case, I know you're probably not into this music. When I was in America, I saw alot of music out there, and man was it sucky. Kehehe.. I mean, really. They ryhme things that are the same exact word and most of their lines are based on profanity! So bad. Katsu! Katsu! doesn't need such things to bring together a crowd. There's actually a simple formula to use.." The boy in yellow would hop to his feet and seemingly materialize a portable chalkboard to his side. Taking a piece of chalk, he'd begin to explain the chemistry behind his music. "So like my music is totally like on a wavelength that makes sweet love to the ears of the masses. They don't need to know the words for them to be addicted to the songs, ya know? Even though, the words are quite innocent to begin with!" The young Katsu drew music notes coming from a crudely drawn picture of himself. Then, he drew various people in stick figures that was supposed to be the crowd. Obviously, he was no artist. To spice things up, he drew himself with rock boots while breathing fire like a dragon. "Hehe.. SUH-WEEEET!!" He flipped the chalkboard and pushed it out of view before patting his hands clean. "So like, what's a honey dip? Sounds delicious! Is it like some honey picky pocky flavored stick? OH COOL!"

No real surprise this Japanese pop-idol ventured to America. It's known knowledge that American's love foreign music. However, Cole wouldn't be one of those American's. Granted, he spoke fluid Japanese and spent a great deal of his childhood around oriental relatives that adored the cheery happy-go-lucky music to death. Cole couldn't get into as a child and he couldn't get into now; as an young adult. It's not the fact he dislikes Japanese music, it's just pop music in general; he hates all of it with a hot passion. The self-proclaimed pugilist took yet another shot from the little bar before him and continued to ponder over the words of the idol. "No real big surprise you found the music crappy. That specific genre died a long time ago." He murmured to himself; placing the glass back upon the surface of the table. As Cole did this, the pop-star began explaining the equation behind music and people; Cole merely looked at the male in yellow with a dumbfounded look; did it really look like he cared? And where the hell did he get that chalkboard? Why the hell was a chalkboard in the VIP room in the first place? Oh lord... The Brawler lazily shook his head from side to side with a faint smirk across his face. He eyed the drawing on the chalkboard and rose a lone eyebrow out of confusion. "What in the hell does decapitated frogs have to do with music, wavelengths, and sweet love?" Suddenly, the hyperactive male pushed the board away and continued on as if nothing had even happened. Cole found it quite hard to believe this simple lad was some big worldwide pop-idol. The Boxer threw both his arms over the head supports of the sofa and listened to Katsu as he asked about the term 'Honey-Dip'. "You've been to America and don't know what honey-dip means?" The Fighter sighed, "honey-dips are delicious... But in other ways, ya' know? Females! Hotties! Girls! Those are honey-dips, my very naive friend." Cole cackled.

Katsu! kept his innocent child like smile upon his face, as he tilted his head to the side with a few blinks. He honestly didn't have that much time to invest in female interests, though he always flirted with them. Even though he was such a flirt, he never acted on any real sexual attraction at all. He was still young, not only in body but in mind. When he saw a girl, the first thing he thought of wasn't if they were attractive or a potential mate. Nope. Even with his profession, he was never really "allowed" to get into the dating world. His manager, and band mates, believed it would complicate his duties and life directly corresponding with the Crawling Chaos. Being quite ignorant at times, Katsu! simply believed this, but still did whatever he wished. Tapping a finger on his cheek, Katsu!'s amber eyes would shift up and look towards the ceiling as if he was in thought. "Well, rival-san, Katsu! Katsu! really does not have time for such things as "honey-dips", mm. My manager is very serious about my career, and he believes spending too much time hovering over girls is a bad move. Plus with all my moving around and tours, I hardly get time to truly get to know people for more than a week. I've met so many people in my life, yet I know so little about them... Hm.." For once, Katsu! was not smiling. His usual innocent smile turned into a slight frown, as he narrowed his eyes. He was like this for a few seconds before looking back towards Cole and tilting his head. "Being a pop idol isn't all it's cracked up to be. But ya know, I don't really care! If I have to give up alot of my free time, and my possibility of getting to know people, it's alright. The moment I signed the contract for this business, I knew alot of my freedom would be taken from me. It's alright." Katsu! began to kick his legs like a child as he gave a toothy grin. "Anyway, the sky is falling. Thinking too much on the past and the here and now is useless. I'd rather just live in the moment and go through life strictly on impulse! Alot less worries that way, Mmm!" That was a childish way of putting things, but Katsu! wasn't really an adult now, was he?

"The life of a famous pop-star ain't easy? Who would've guessed?!" Cole mocked condescendingly before exhaling a playful chuckle. The Brawler stood up from the plush sofa, lazily walked over towards the massive tinted window and watched over all the dancing club-goers. "I don't know anything about the music industry but I do know many of the so called 'idols' sacrifice quite a bit for the fans." He paused and turned back to the almost daydreaming pop-idol, "Wanna know the sad part about it, though? Most of the fans don't know or don't give a fuck. Just comes to show how disgusting people can be, huh?" The Brawler went into mad laughter at the climax of his words, "Not like it matters to me, though! I don't see you as some silly pop-idol with the dance moves of a thirteen year old girl. I see you as that crazy dude in yellow that reminded me what it was like to be different." The Boxer knocked away a few tears of joy before ceasing the mad laughter. "But yes, honey-dips can be bad news; especially for someone like you. You're manager is doing the right thing, I guess..." Cole paused and snickered, "but keepin' you away from the females might make your fans a little.... Suspicious." Once again, the Fighter erupted into mad laughter. "But it's like you said: 'go through life strickly on impulse!' You'll address that problem when it comes to you, right?!" Laughter continued to escape the body of Cole even long after he finished speaking.

The young idol crossed his arms over his chest with a quizzical look towards the mocking, strange ebony male. It was not every day Katsu! told someone about himself, and for this loser to laugh at his dilemma caused the young boy to close his eyes and grind his teeth. "What would you know? You seem like you have all the answers, but do you really? It's easy to just talk about others problems, but I'm sure you have your own. Atleast I'm aware of mine, but you seem like the smug type of person that ignores their own." Though Katsu! was becoming a tad bit hostile, he suddenly stopped when he continued to listen to Cole's words. Tilting his head to the side, he'd give a few blinks in confusion. "Different? Haha, maybe rival-san. And don't be so jealous of my dance moves because you have none to call your own, yeah? Maybe if you play your cards right, I'll teach you a thing or two." The singer snickered under his breath with a mocking tone. Suddenly he stopped his laughs after Cole's next "suspicious" comment. The boy's face became quite flustered as he stood and pumped his arms up and down in a flail. "N-no! My fans do not think that, they know my situation! And anyway, I don't care, Mm! I'm not in this business because of suspicious thoughts and stuff. I just like to have fun and travel. Though, I don't really get to travel much now that I'm here in Ueitawa on business. Anyway stop laughing at everything!" The young star would lean forward and place a finger under his chin. "Hey, have you noticed anything strange going on in Ueitawa recently? Like, have you seen anything strange that sorta kinda didn't belong?" Now this question seemed to come out of nowhere.

Posts : 319 Join date : 2013-03-10 Age : 31

Did Cole really give off that impression? Did he really seem like the type to ignore his own problems? Why? Just because he laughed a lot at situations that don't merit any laughter? 'He who laughs, laughs with the gods!' Or however the Japanese proverbs go. Regardless of this, Cole merely humored the hyperactive pop-idol with a snicker. "Nah, bro. I'm good. You can keep your super seductive dance moves to yourself. Don't wanna steal the lime light, ya' know?" Suddenly, Katsu rose to his feet and began pumping his arms and down in a flail; obviously Cole's last comment got to him. When the yellow hued idol ordered Cole to stop laughing at everything, it just caused him to laugh even harder than before. As the pop-star placed a finger under his chin Cole could't help but notice and raise an eyebrow out of confusion. "What is he thinkin' now?" The Brawler pondered in thought before the pop-idol asked him two questions. The Fighter titled his head and gave the question some serious thought. "Strange? You mean like the recent string of people going missing? I find that shit pretty strange but other than that no, not really. And what do you mean 'sorta kinda didn't belong'? Am I missin' something or are you fuckin' with me?" Why the hell would he ask such random questions? Could he possibly be looking for something or maybe someone?

Subject: Re: The Concert of Ages.. Sat May 25, 2013 8:58 pm

Katsu! gave a crooked grin as he shrugged his shoulders. "Pshaw, you stealing my lime light? Surely you jest, Rival-san. Katsu! Katsu! has plenty to share." When the conversation continued, the amber eyed boy would tilt his head to the side as Cole began to explain he hadn't seen anything strange. Though, he had been keeping up with the news, so apparently he knew people were disappearing. He hadn't noticed the strange red doors around, so perhaps he didn't have the potential to enter Limbo. He was just another person. This made Katsu! give a large goofy grin. This meant Cole wasn't the enemy! That was awesome, that meant the pop idol wouldn't have to kill him in the future! "I was just wondering, cause I read some strange things on that rumour board! You know the stuff they're saying? Man it's like super loco out in Ueitawa huh? Such a mystery." The boy wiggled a finger as he shook his head back and forth. "Maybe we should start investigating this. It'll be like Sherlock Holmes and his partner! Of course, I'll be Holmes so I can say things like.. Elementary, my dear Watson!" Katsu! wiped his thumb across his nose as he gave a few giggles under his breath. "Did ya hear the latest news about the disappearances? Someone in my same class is apparently a suspect! How intense, right? She's kinda a cutie, so there's no way she could have done it, right? Right?! Cute people don't do crimes! And crimes aren't crimes unless you're caught!" The pop idol crossed his arms and nodded his head repeatedly to his own logic. Even if it were falsified and made no sense whatsoever.

Sneaking in was probably not necessary, but definitely more fun. A few charming words at the back door got her inside. She was riding the high of her new power, and wasn't going to crash any time soon. She casually walked by the bar, scooping up one of the free drinks on her way past. She hummed to herself, not loud enough to be heard over the roar of the crowd, just enough that those around her could hear. Strangely enough, she never had to even divert her course in the slightest.

It was as if some supernatural force had kindly asked everyone to stay out of her way, and they obeyed. Her cheerful smile turned into a confident smirk. She was really liking this. And she was on her way to one of the people she has to thank for it. Not that she would. No, thanking isn't working with the rocker style after all. She would just... assume he knew she appreciated it. She made her way to the stairs, and was met with another guard.

A minute or two of flirting, a musical tone in her voice, and a pout or two later, she was on her way up. Unfortunately, the last one, right outside the VIP room, was much tougher. "Sheesh, you aren't budging, aren't you? Ugh, fine. Your no fun." She pouted, finally giving up on this last guard. "It's me, Gakki Masami. Come on, let me in now? Ugh... if Katsu's in there already just tell him I'm here..." She sighed. "Telll him..." She covered her face with a hand, annoyed and embarassed, but she knew how to guarentee she'd get in. "Tell him it's..." she mumbled the nickname he'd given her, only loud enough for the guard to hear, if he didn't let her past immediately "...Angry-chan"

"Yeah, son. Shits been crazy as fuck lately. All these rumors about people going missing n' shit. Personally I don't think it's nothing to be worried about, but that's just me." Cole shrugged his massive shoulders and sunk deep in the plush sofa he was sitting within. "HA! You need to watch out for the cute ones though, dude. They are the ones that are usually up to no good, lemme tell ya'." The Brawler nodded at his own words; as if he was re-living some sort of past event in his head. Cole reached for another drink of the table in front of him. He threw his head back, rose his arm, and poured the contents within the shot glass directly down his throat. Slamming the glass on the table, he shook his head and laughed. "I have more pressing matters on my plate, dude. Ain't got no time to play detective... And besides," he paused. and shot a sinister glare at the pop-idol. "It'll be more like Batman and Robin. With you being Robin of course and me being Batman. I get the nice car, the money, the gadgets, the butler, and the ladies. While you get.... The tights?" He busted out into mad laughter and slapped his knee like some country bumpkin sitting in a rocking chair.

"N-nothing to be worried about, huh?" The boy's amber eyes shifted to their corners as he raised his left hand and moved a strand of hair behind his ear. It seemed his inner moe was escaping, as he used his innocent looks to appear like a confused child out of nowhere. In reality, Katsu! had his own suspicions on why people were disappearing. He honestly didn't care though, not like he knew them. Behind the innocent, slightly flustered face of the idol, he truly was just a kid who did whatever he wanted. In all honesty, if he were bored enough, he could have began throwing others into Limbo himself. He had some serious growing up to do on his part. Cole was one hundred percent right about watching out for the cute ones. Katsu! couldn't help but give a sly smile as a tint of red came over his nose. "Ah, I see, Rival-san! The cute ones are quite dangerous, yeah? Katsu! Katsu! will have to totally investigate all the cute girls of Ueitawa to make sure they're not criminals." What a closet pervert. Who would have thought one of his guards would come onto the scene at this time.

"Katsu, it seems like you have a guest. She says her name is Angry-chan." The man spoke with a calm tone, and Katsu! gave a few blinks. There was a silent stare between the two before the idol tilted his head to the side and gave a goofy smile. Rubbing the back of his head, he'd close his eyes with a slight blush like the man was praising him or something. "...Who's that?" Could the idol have possibly already forgotten who she was? That may have been the case here, but he'd suddenly snap his fingers. "Ah, let her in! I must investigate all suspicious cute ones!" The androgynous boy took a heroic pose upon the couch, placing both hands on his hips and giving a smug smile. Everything was a game to him huh? Even when Cole had mentioned the tights he'd have to wear, he didn't seem to care. "Bwahaha! Foolish Rival-san! I've worn tights before! They're quite fashionable when preparing for a role, ya know?"

"I heard that!" Masami snapped behind the door. Along with her new talents, good hearing was one of them, and she was pretty sure he was just pretending to forget who she was just to mess with her. The instant she heard that she was allowed in, she didn't bother waiting for the guard to let her in. She let herself in and walked right past the guard. She crossed her arms, giving him an annoyed-yet-amused look.

After staring him down for a moment, she just shook her head before laughing. There really wasn't any way she saw she could recover this entrance. "Sorry I missed the show, Katsu, I prefer to show up fashionably late anyway." She strode across the room to get closer to the two of them. "Oh, who's this?" She smiled to the other boy in the room and looked him over. "Name's Gakki Masami. I'm a... Well, I guess you could say I'm a coworker of Katsu's now." She figured if this guy was here to see Katsu, the introduction should impress him. She didn't sit down just yet. There were two couches and two guys. She had to make this choice carefully.

Even something so simple mattered to her calculated charm. After all, she had already made an impression on Katsu, so sitting with the other boy might be useful. But if Katsu were on his own... he'd have a better chance of controlling the room than her.
