As Reiji walked through the street, she felt almost liberated, taking a glance at the people that littered the streets, unknown to them that Demons were around almost every corner. It was such a strange sight to see now that she had become a Persona-User. Everything was like a breath of fresh air. She grabbed her headphones that hung around her neck, and put them over her ears. They weren't the greatest, but she has had them for some time now and they work just fine to her. She pulled out her tiny little MP3, and pressed a button. Her eyes narrowed in confusion at the failure of it to launch before realizing the problem: the batteries were dead. She placed it back in her pocket, but kept her headphones on, the wire going into her pocket as she roamed the street. She was having quite the fun just watching some of the Demons screw with people. Reiji wanted to help out, but every time she willed her Persona to come up, it wouldn't work. Maybe it could only be done at Night; she did feel everything was "different" that night she awakened.
Soon she found herself in front of a nearby karaoke bar. The weird pop music blaring from the inside almost made her want to come in, but she stood outside and continued to people watch for a bit. She did notice however a set of two girls walk into the bar, while a strange Demon (invisible to those without a Persona), sneaking in behind them. It looked like a strange grey cat with a straw hat on its head. Either way, it was getting a little close to the girls. Her head snapped forward, as her headphones fell from her ears and back to her neck. Before the door closed she would turn sideface and slide inside like a smooth criminal. The girls were making their way to a nearby booth as the Demon stood near one, tapping the backside of one, to gather their attention. Of course the girl was confused and looked around, having no idea who was doing it. Reiji smirked a bit herself. Demons came in all shapes and sizes...and apparently interests.

It was around nighttime, and what better way to spend the night than to go for a nice stroll around town? Gabe still had a little bit of time before he had to meet with the phantom thief to know more about his new power and what exactly he felt that he was supposed to do wth it. The difference between his persona and the one Jack had, as well as the fact that he was able to see and fight those demons. Was that the emphasis of his job? Demon busting like some sort of hero ? "Well if anything, i'll be a hero for fun... just like one punch frost. "Ok, there is no way he can be like one punch frost, that demon was an enigma. Though, he figured that he would help out. Though, as he was walking among the streets, he noticed something arund the karaoke bar. Two girls, but it seemed that they had a little but of a tagging follower .
"Hmm...." Gabe would jum to himself, but the "Demon" wasnt initally hurting them. Maybe it was trying to play a prank of some sort. Well, either way, Gabe felt like it was alright to investigate. Walking inside of karaoke bar, Gabe decided that he would maybe keep an eye on the girls to make sure nothing else would happen if he could help it.
"Good evening ladies, do you mind if i join you for a few songs?" Gabe would give off a charming imperession to the girls, he was cute if anything. Though, he did give the cat a direct stare, as if he was looking right at it.

Aya noticed the boy walking up to the two girls and the Demon as she remained near a couch in a corner of the bar. Meanwhile, the girls looked at him oddly. A boy did approach them, but one of them was interested. "Oh, you sing well? We should sing together then!" The Demon snickered at Gabe and then grabbed onto the girl who spoke. She'd pull on her shirt, which had her stumble and nearly fall over. Aya chuckled to herself in the background as the cat Demon let go of her and flew up to a shelf above in order to watch. She didn't really have much else to go over there for; she was having enough fun watching the events unfold.

"I think i sing pretty great. Though, my confidence would be alot better on the stage if i had you cheer me on. "He was flirting, nevertheless. Which isn't something that Gabe outwardly does if someone knew him pretty well. Though , he figured it was a small price to pay to ensure the demon doesn't change its mind and plays a more dangerous game. That Pryo jack and sandman were playing a game too, counting the people the killed.
Though seeing the cat that tried to make her tumble, Gabe reacted quite quick and caught her waist with his left, and her wrist with his right. "Are you alright?" After letting go once the woman regained her composure, Gabe would nod his head slightly and respectfully. "Shall we?"

The girl quickly got back up and adjusted herself. Her face was incredibly flushed. The man was fast, and Aya took note of that. She was having enough fun watching the guy try to get the number of the girls, maybe it was the Demon's fault."T-Thanks for that, that would've hurt! But what just got to me? Was it some perv?" Aya watched however. The man was acting as if he knew the Demon was there. Maybe he just got lucky. Or maybe there was another secret to him. You don't just stare at the thin air when a Demon just happened to be there for no reason. Her eyebrows raised as she watched the boy talk to the two ladies. The cat Demon tilted their head to the strange song playing in the background, as the other girl sat back. "Ahaha. Singing isn't my thing. You two go have fun!" Meanwhile, Aya kept herself in the chair away from the group just watching. The man had interesting skill, but did he have what she was looking for? The girl would follow him to the stage when the next song ended if they chose to sing. They would get the chance to shout their names and pick a song for their song. Did people just enjoy acting like idiots in front of others? Then again, Aya did herself, but she had different ideas of what that meant. Though before they could get on stage, the Demon would float from the shelf and down towards the ground, flying under tables and shaking them, causing the group to look around and under in a lot of confusion. Soon they would return to the front of the girl Gabe helped before, to bump into them, causing her to fall back once more, before bustling out the door. It seemed to be done with its antics, but it wanted to leave one last prank before sailing off. She kinda liked that demon. It enjoyed fucking around, much like she did. She got up herself and leaned her back against the wall. She wanted to see what the guy was made of.

"I'm not really sure myself.... " Gabe would say with a bashful remark while rubbing the back of his head. Well, at least he made it quite clear to pretend that he didn't necessarily know what was gong on, but he did. It was a troublesome cat, but no Bernard. No, thats insulting to Bernard, he wasn't this troublesome to Gabe at least. Maybe to other people. "Alright, lets go...." To be completely honest, Gabe never really done this before. Was there a song that he wanted to sing? Gabe put away his glasses and removed his coat. Though, while they were heading towards the stage, the demon was being mischevious once more.
What a troublesome cat.." Gabe would think in his head as it bumped into the girl once more, but thins time , she fell directly into the chest of Gabe instead. He played it off pretty smoothly. "You seem to be stumbling a bit today, are you nervous? Though, the stage is awaiting us, there's nothing to be scared of. " She would actually catch a hint of his cologne from being so close, which smelled pretty nice in fact. Once Gabe was on the stage, he decided to Shout out his name " My name is Gabriel, and i'm going to sing a song with my lovely partner over here."
Gabe sang a duet with her on stage, and he hoped that she wasn't too shy. Though, after the performance , Gabe would turn to her and smile. "See... it turned out pretty fine." Now..where did he put his glassess...

The girl shook her head while her face remained red. "N-no! Just kinda clumsy I guess!" She would join him up on stage as they introduced themselves. "My name's Julia, I hope you enjoy!" And as they sang, the audience seem to like it for the most part. But Aya herself opened her mouth to let out a yawn. Now she was getting bored. With the demon gone she was losing interest. Maybe she should get a move on herself. Her head would loll backward slightly, looking up at the ceiling. At least it had alright colors. But all the audience cared about was the singing. She tried to put on her music, but remembered her dead battery. Suddenly she got more miserable and looked at the door. Nothing interesting was going on, and freedom was just there. Maybe she should just buzz off...

After walking back, Gabe kind of felt as if he misplaced his glasses. "Thats pretty strange......." Gabe would say as he looked around to where he walked before. He was sure that he put it in the seat, but maybe he didn't? Maybe the demon cat misplaced it somewhere. "One second..." Gabe would say to the julia chick as he went off to look for them. Though, crouching down and checking the floor wasn't all that cracked up to be in a karakoe place. However, he did accidentally bump into a girl that had a pair of head phones. "ouch.." Gabe rubbed his head and stood uff]"My apologies, i think i misplaced my glasses somewhere. Can you check the floor, id appreciate it if you didnt step on them by accident.

When Gabriel bumped into her legs, she was slouched back on the couch. She looked up at him with an expressionless glance. "Hmph. I don't think they're over here. Not my problem." Even so, she lifted her legs to at the very least get them away from him. But in the end they would give him a better view of the floor. There weren't any glasses to be found unfortunately. She then turned to the side and placed her legs in the couch. "Alright Gabber or whatever you're called. Told you. You should probably go back to touching yourself on stage, or whatever the hell you did with your hand earlier," she said, laughing at the flashy dude with her head leaning back. Maybe the demon left, but he was easy to poke at. He looked goofy dancing up there. Maybe it was just something she didn't see that much, but it made her laugh. In a way, he was entertaining in a Watching-the-Fool kind of way.

"Right..my sincerest apologies..." What a vulgar woman. Of course, it wasn't her problem, but gabe did in fact lose his glasses by accident. It wasn't like he wanted to look all over like some sort of moron while his glasses were missing. However, hearing his name being mispronounced wasn't something he could necessarily ignore. His mother gave him that name, he didn't like that it was made light of. " I'll have you know that it does take a certain amount of bravery to go up on the stage. It's not easy....." He would say as he looked to the left and managed to find what he was looking for. " Aha... found you.." While cleaning them, he would give her a side eye. " The voyager life must be life, feel free to watch and not participate as much as you please, madame. Or go up on the stage and show me how its done...either way... " In spite of the altercation, Gabe gave her a respectful bow before turning back to walk over to the people he was with before.

Aya laughed when Gabriel mentioned bravery to go on stage. "That is nothing. Anyone can walk on stage and do what you did. They just have to have nerve and then you're done." But then Gabriel suggested that she should do it herself. Her lips closed, but inside she grit her teeth. Fuck him, she could easily do it. On the other hand, her being up there made her upset. She had to go up there and show him up. But did she even know music? Could she even do it? The dilemma stuck in her mind, but was not enough to keep her from suddenly getting off the chair and looking at him with a growl-like face. "What you do up there is nothing compared to what goes outside." She said. She looked less angry and more insulted, like she was being stood up by someone. He had pushed just the right buttons, and she was close to the breaking point, but she was for now totally focused on Gabriel. What did he have to come in and taunt her like that?

Gabriel raised an eyebrow. So she was about to go up there and try to do what he just did? That was kind of interesting, how can Gabe even make it more interesting for her?" Hey everyone, looks like the shy one that was in the back over there wants to give it a go. " Gabe would return her current scowling with a mischevious grin. "Alright then how about a little motivation?" Gabe said this right after he lapped three separate times, starting a certain trend of clapping that slowly started to build up, before the entire karakoe place started to clap for her in the same kind of rhythm. It was sort of edging her on, and it was too late to back down now.
"Now, what will you do?"

The woman grit her teeth and looked back to Gabriel. She then walked close to him and held her arms out as though to give her a hug, only to fake him out and punch him right in his gut. She would then turn to walk to the stage nonchalantly. She certainly wasn't frightened of having to not piss off a crowd, hell that's what she was good at. She couldn't say she was familiar with singing though she knew her music well. She did grab the microphone and hid her hat over her face as the hair as a familiar song she recognized came into view. Everyone could see the twisted grin on her face as she let her voice sing freely like it was a hobby. Her voice was perhaps slightly husky, but it sounded pretty much like any woman her age if it was a little deeper. She felt a burning sensation over her body, but it was less nervousness and more anger towards Gabriel. When she was finished showing off, he would pay again after this.
How Is She doing?:
1 - Aya is wooing the crowd~
2 - Aya isn't doing so bad, but not enough to stand out.
3 - Not many are liking it.
Random number (1,3) :
3

Well.... things happened and it looked like she was going to do it. Though walking over to give him a hug was unexpected has she come to thank him for the standing ovation. "no need for than- ouuf!!" Gabe would say as he crouched down just a bit as he held his stomach. "That violent woman has quite the hook on her." While Gabe was wincing in pain within the contents of his seat, karma might of made quite the u turn if that was the result of punching him, because the girl seemed to bomb the performance. It wasn't necessarily boos, but the crowd wasn't even as half as enthusiastic as they was before. Though, nobody here was some sort of top singer, and everyone was a critic.
Though, after she finished, Gabe would stand up and start to clap. "How about a round of applause for the girls bravery no?" Gabriel clapped and they thought as a good showing of sportsmanship and bringing her up there tp begin with, a bit applause was in order. Well, atleast he was trying to be nice and spare her pride. IF she decided to come over, gabe would actually flinch and cover his stomach. "Well, you didn't have to go of you didn't want to... though... nice choice of music.

Of course she didn't do well. She had never tried to sing once in her life. Though it hardly humiliated her; she didn't care much what the others thought. Then again, it was a karaoke bar. Plenty of people come to sing, and a bunch of them were probably terrible at it too. Didn't really change her mood much, that is to say, she wasn't any angrier or happier. She did walk by Gabriel, and give him a strange look before shrugging her shoulders. "I never turn that stuff down. Now move kid. I'll get back at you soon," she said, brushing past him and quickly out the door rather unceremoniously. She didn't really get much out of what just happened, but whatever. At least she got to show off after he challenged her.
