Nikki walks into Neon Burn as if she's been here a million times and owns the place, a definite swagger and smirk on her.
She looks around, checking out the sound system and the stage setup, or as much of it as she can see. She seems mostly satisfied.
Once she's done checking everything out, she walks over to the bar, sits down, and waits to catch the bartender's attention.

Two bartenders work the glowing circle in the center of the floor. Nikki would have recognized Xian at the door, probably yelling at some guy for trying to wear a fanny pack into the club or some other strange, probably made up offense.

One of the bartenders is Orphen, easily recognized as he is tall and has blue hair. The place is Busy but orphen seems to love the bustle... theres nothing safer than a crowd of sleepers...

He slings a few drinks before stopping near Nikki with a welcoming smile.

'What can i get ya blondie?'

"How about a beer and a chat? Gand told me I should talk to you. I'm Nikki."

'Cool. Im Orphen, as you obviously knew..'

He points from tap to tap until she selects one, and he will pour her a tall beer in a frozen glass. He leans on the bar in front of her, his eyes and hair nearly matching the neon of the bar below his elbows.

'Now what did Gand the Great tell you i could do for you?'

Nikki stifles a laugh and shakes her head in dismay. "You guys really call him Gand the Great? I thought he was just pulling my leg!"
"Well, Orphen, I just got here from Norway, long story, but I am looking to reform my band, and I was looking for a place to play once I've got that. And a place to hold auditions, if at all possible, in off hours maybe? Your sound system looks good, Gand said you had bands play here?"

'Hes got a lot of names. That one just sounds like im not sleeping with him so i prefer it...' Orphen shrugs.

'Yeah we try to get live entertainment in here as much as we can. Norway? so id guess you play real loud stuff about burning churches and raping babies or whatever?..'

That gets him an odd look from the other bartender, but he doesnt seem to notice...

Nikki grins. "Yeah, minus the raping babies part. That stuff doesn't sell."

'Rock on.'

Orphen grins like a fool.

'You can have auditions here, metal shows usually sell pretty well in this town so this could be a good venture for the both of us.'

"Awesome!" Nikki throws the horns. "Now, anything I can do for you?"

Nikkie gets closer to Orphen, and speaks softly in his ear. "Say, anyone you know hurt or sick, any gardens that need a little help, any pets that aren't thriving? I an help."
She pulls back and looks at Orphen.

Sean walk slowly up the stairs from the Den with a dirty half of an unlit cigarette in his mouth that he probably found in an ashtray and kept. Hes wearing green jumpsuit style pants that are cut off at the knees to be shorts, his dirty converse, and a green bandana holding his hair back.

He leans on the bar next to orphen, "hey man you seen my lighter?.......i cant find my shirt either man?"

He smiles to Nikki scratching his stomach.

Nikki smiles back. "How do you lose a shirt?"

Orphen nods to Nikki, catching on quick.

'Thanks, ill keep that in mind.'

He turns his head as Sean comes up, giving him a strange look.

'Seriously dude... how do you always lose your shirts?..'

"I dont know man.... I just keep wakin up and its gone...there must be a shirt stealing gnome or some shit in here..." Sean rubs his face pulling his lighter out of his back pocket. "Well atleast i found my lighter man!" He says with his huge smile back on his face as he lights his dirty half cigarette. "But seriosly man do you mind if i (borrow) a shirt again man?"

"Shirt...stealing...gnomes. Okay then." Nikki pantomimes smoking a joint. "Yeah. Gnomes."

Sean laughs at her joint smoking gesture, "Dont judge me man, I havent smoked at all today." He scratches his stomach again and walks back down the stairs to try to find his shirt.

Nikki winks at him. "Maybe you will find your shirt if you do smoke, and then you will remember where you put it?"
She raises her glass of beer to him, and downs about half of it.

Orphen snickers at Sean, letting him get just far enough down the stairs that he wil lstill hear him say to Nikki.

'Damn hippies.'

Nikki laughs. "Yeah, I mean, who loses a shirt? Repeatedly? Seems like a nice kid, though."

Orphen just shakes his head.

'Seans alright. He has some weird tea that will really mess you up. Seems like everytime he loses his shirt Xian has to beat the no-shirt, no-shoes, no-service rule back into peoples heads...'

Xian of course being the violent security manager Gand mentioned and she probably spotted at the door.
