[color=tomato]“So? You don’t see me freaking out every time I see a- IS THAT KIMBLE!?!?!”[/color]

[color=888888]— Su Fang & Mika Sarraf[/color][/center]

The first thing Mika did when she entered the rave was take a firm hold of Katarina ’s hand. [color=tomato]“Don’t worry about dancing, you’ve got me here to show you the ropes.”[/color] Mika walked towards the part of the floor where everyone was dancing. It was a tight fit, and there wasn’t a lot of space. On one side an oni-girl and templar knight were grinding, and on the other flank was a dark magical girl. She was twerking and looked to be holding a bottle of spirits. But Mika ignored them all. 

[color=tomato]“Alright!”[/color] Mika had to practically shout to be heard over all the other voices, and especially the music. [color=tomato]“Now just put your hands up like this!”[/color] She placed her hands beside her head. [color=tomato]“And then you just kind of shift your hips side to side, and kinda flap your hands! Like you have doggy ears!”[/color] Mika proceeded to do the caramel dance. 

Su was unable to assimilate into the rave as easily as Mika was. Even if her job required her to deal with a lot of people, but she got to know them one at a time. People came in, chatted a bit, then they slept for the night. They might call for room service or have a question, but would ultimately leave a few nights later. Or in more extreme cases, rented out apartments indefinitely. No one came in or out without Su knowing about it. Su knew everyone in the Golden Trove. Here she was surrounded by unfamiliar faces. And not all the faces she saw she cared to know.

In particular, Justine.

Su had never been happy with how their last encounter ended. She allowed Helga and Lily to talk her down, but she knew it was only a matter of time until Justine returned. People like that couldn’t change. If she acted out, it would be the only excuse Su would need to finish her. Justine wouldn’t hurt her family ever again, not like she hurt Amber. She found herself fantasizing about their fated encounter, but dismissed her thoughts with a shake of her head. Regardless of what Su thought, it wouldn’t help anyone to start a fight. Moreover, she wasn’t going to let Justine ruin her night. She needed to focus on something else. Su got to do fun things with Helga all the time, so it seemed silly to take to the dance floor with her. Perhaps there was another interesting character in here.

That was when Su’s eyes fell onto a robed woman. Oriental magical girls were nothing new in Penrose, but she had seen few shrine maidens. Moreover, she had that look on her face that Su was pretty sure she was wearing not long ago. Su approached slowly, unsure how you were suppose to talk to people in here. Raves were places where people hooked up, and Su didn’t want to lead anyone on. Though she was still fascinated with the oriental woman. Su leaned up against the back wall and examined her a bit longer. She finally Decided it wasn’t polite to stare. 

[color=PeachPuff]“What are you drinking?”[/color] That was a horrible conversation starter. Su decided to try again. [color=PeachPuff]“Never mind, I like your outfit.”[/color] She wondered if it sounded like she was hitting on her. [color=PeachPuff]“But I’m not looking for anyone.”[/color] What the hell Su? She rubbed her eyes and folded her arms. [color=PeachPuff]“Sorry, I’m just a little nervous. Feels like something’s about to happen.”[/color] She looked the woman directly in the eyes. [color=PeachPuff]“Su Fang, I’ve been out of town for a while, but I run a hotel. The Golden Trove. How about you?”[/color] A nervous smile crossed her lips.
