A spotlight shone upon a star. The crowd cheered. She [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k44lYumHMEQ]sang[/url]. Utada was in her element, basking in the praise and adoration of Machina who were probably going to be sent out to die tomorrow. She didn't care, it didn't matter that she was performing for dead men walking, she still got paid. Her performance came to an end soon enough, she pretended to be exhausted from putting her heart out as she bent over and panted. It was all very cute, they loved it. [color=lavender]"Thank you all so much for coming, I'm done for tonight but come back tomorrow if you wanna see more!"[/color] She did a little wink and then skipped backstage, grabbing a glass of water and chugging it down. She changed into a sweater and jeans backstage, lifting her hoodie up to obscure her face. She needed a real drink right now.

She walked up to the bar and sat in an empty seat next to some random dude. [color=lavender]"You know what I want Sam."[/color] The bartender rolled his eyes and began pouring her some fancy sugary drink, meanwhile the guy next to her stared at her out of the corner of his eye. [color=steelblue]"You're pretty good at making the crowd think you like them."[/color] Utada groaned internally, putting on her best smiley face and turning towards the random man. [color=lavender]"I don't know what you mean mister, I love performi-"[/color] She stopped as she realised just who this guy was. Henry Pearl Avaritia, one of the strongest Demons in Hell and according to rumours spread by TEP guards, the Machina's newest recruit. He was sipping on what appeared to be root beer, somewhat aggravated by Zak killing his dogs. They respawned, but god damn was he pissed. [color=steelblue]"I'm a Demon, if you think a wink and a cutesy voice is gonna make me believe you don't hate everyone in this club than you're even dumber than Balrog. He didn't know how to use doors."[/color] Utada didn't have much to say to him, mainly she wanted to choke him out for shutting her down a few years ago with a super powerful EMP. But she also didn't want to get fired. 

So they both stayed silent and drank their drinks. Finally Utada decided to speak up. [color=lavender]"If you try anything to fuck over the Machina, I will be the 1st person to hunt you down and put a bullet in your head."[/color] She said through clenched teeth. Henry snorted. [color=steelblue]"I don't have a reason to fuck over the Machina. But if you wanna give me one I'll be happy to."[/color] A few more tense moments passed as Henry drained his glass. As he dropped a stack of bills to pay for his drink, way too much judging by the bartenders dropped jaw, he got up out of his chair and began to walk towards the elevator. [color=steelblue]"Your performance wasn't half bad though."[/color] With that being said he got into the elevator and hit the button for his floor. Utada waited for the door to close before she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and blushed. He was really cute, short but cute. [color=lavender]"Another drink please Sam."[/color] Sam shook his head and sighed, a Demon paying for his drink and Utada saying please. He needed to stop drinking on the job.
