Just Another Day At Nexus ~Open~

[Alexander "Alexii" Heartwick]

It was just another day at Nexus for Alexii Heartwick. Just another day of work at the bar he ran for the father of one of his band mates, Wraith. The club was going to be her's in a little less than a year's time. Alexii remembered the day he was hired at Nexus, it seemed like heaven. His parents told him he was stupid for wanting to work at a nightclub. But working at one was the best way to know what to expect when you opened one. That was Alexii's main goal. He didn't want to work at Nexus his whole life, he wanted to own a club of his own.

Re-stocking the alcohol behind the bar the manager of Nexus smiled to the people in front of him. Alexii wasn't just the manager of Nexus, the convergence point of all things, he also spent time bar tending at the club as well. The heavy metal music echoed through the grunge looking club. Everything about the place screamed abandoned warehouse, even though no such place had ever stood in the spot where Nexus sat.

"What can I get ya?" asked the friendly man as he yelled over the music. "We got just about any kind of liquor you can dream of. Whiskey, rum, vodka, beer, only thing we ain't got is water." He smirked to the people and stood waiting for their orders. If there was one thing he could do better than manage a club on heavy night, it was make a drink. Just about any drink anyone could think of, Alexii Heartwick could make. It was something he was proud of.

[Elijiah "Mr. Halloween" Grimm]

Elijiah bundled his black clothes closer to him against the New York cold as he pushed the doors open to Nexus, the bar where his bandmate worked. Elijiah wouldn't usually go in there for any other reason for going to see Alexii, for this raven-haired boy wasn't one for such a human-infested place such as Nexus.

As soon Mr. Halloween stepped into the club, he unzipped his jacket. With so many people, their body heat like a furnace, it was silly to be cold in Nexus. Elijiah beelined to Alexii as soon as he set his eyes on his bandmate. Making his way through the club-goers, Mr. Halloween wore a scowl.

It seemed Alexii hadn't recognized him, but Elijiah dismissed this quickly. Still scowling, he flipped back his hood back, revealing elaboratly-styled dyed-black hair.
"Alexii, I don't want to loose you your job. How about a Coke?" He replied coldly. Alexii should be far too used to this behavior to take notice. Mr. Halloween was like this to everyone.

Elijiah sat down at one of the bar stools and immediatly reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette. With the flick of his wrist, the deathstick was lit by Elijiah's Zippo.
Taking a long drag out of the glowing cigarette, Elijiah surveyed the club before turning back to Alexii.
"Busy night?" He inquired in a flat monotone. Mr. Halloween was either angry beyond all comprehension or extremly distant. This happened to be one of those distant moods.

[Johnny Shotgun]

Johnny flipped her hair, combing it out with her fingers. To no avail. She had so many knots in her jet black locks, she quickly gave up.
Smoothing her tank top and unzipping her leather jacket, she took a deep breath before entering Nexus. Why was she paying so much attention to how she looked? Only for one person.
Alexii.

She'd had a crush on him every since they met the first time she came into Nexus. He'd been giving her drinks since then, no matter her age. Ever since then, she went at minimum every Friday and Saturday night. He was always there.

She made her way through the people, elbowing anyone who was being particularly incompetent, her eyes set on Alexii.
With a small smile, she had finally made it to him, and took a seat next to Mr. Halloween at the bar. They were somewhat aquainted, as they were both "friends" of Alexii. Mr. Halloween was quite the cynic.

"Did I catch you at a bad time?" She asked, noting how busy the club was.
