Practice had gone well, and so had the gym, but Emil wanted to burn off a bit more energy afterward. It wasn’t too much of an issue to do that while also gathering energy, he guessed. Wandering a bit further than he normally did, just in case any paparazzi were following, he powered up and waved his lightstick around a bit. The thing was flimsy, but hey, it was pretty sick looking for what it was.
Taking care to only slightly bump into people and drain as he made his way through the crowds going out drinking for the night, he only looked up and around when he thought he felt someone like the rest of the band nearby. Sending the small orb away as he dipped towards one of the less crowded streets, he took some time to look around without being too obvious. After all, he was a magical super agent or whatever; he had to look cool and not like an idiot.

Liebthenite quietly propped up the drunk against a park bench and dusted his hands off, glancing around to make sure no one was close enough to have any questions about the man who now looked like he’d fallen asleep waiting on the next bus.
That was when he felt it: someone who felt … like he did. Familiar, ‘good’ in a weird way.
“Lo?” he called, glancing in the general direction he felt the ‘aura’ from. “I’m not on, like, your turf or anything, am I?” He called just to be absolutely sure.

For a second, he thought maybe he’d missed whoever was around, then he heard a voice and cracked up. “Turf? What is there, like friendly fire or something? Is there some sorta leaderboard?” Scratching at his chin, he liked the idea of getting whatever the high score was on it.
“Eisen, err Eisenkiesel. Who’re you?” Walking over as he noticed the propped-up drunk, he decided to pull a Sharpie out and doodle on them a bit before looking the other lieutenant over. “What? Just a little fun; my cousins used to draw all over my face when I would fall asleep during the daytime.”

“Lieb, Liebthenite.” He grinned as he watched the doodling. “I gotta remember that, I’m so going to start bringing a Sharpie with me- that’s… fabulous.” He laughed.
“Good to meet you! I ran into some uh… Mirror people and some order people, and you just never know who’s got what opinion on things!” He shrugged.
“We could totally do a little leader board, might make the energy drawing competition a little more fun. Whoever beats the other for the night gets a point? Everyone wins! Well… maybe not the civs, but they just end up dead a** tired.”

“Yeah, I’ve always got one on me for autographs, so it’s a habit to keep one even out like this~” Popping the cap back on the Sharpie, he twirled it, then sent it back away. At least this person seemed chill enough; he knew that Vasha’s mom had been a real control freak about the whole band joining up in this Negaverse stuff.
“Mirror people? I get Order, the white knighters, or whatever. Kinda bad for PR or whatever; haven’t dealt with any yet, though, so just kicking back and doing the quota thing between shows with the guys.”
It was sort of a pain sometimes, never knowing if fans or someone might try to follow him while he ducked somewhere to power up, but then again he wasn’t the center, so it wasn’t as bad for him as it was for Vasha and Alyosha.
“Sounds legit, I’m up for it. I mean…. Some people could use a lil nap time, so… eh?” Laughing as he nudged the drunk guy a bit, he wasn’t exactly surprised by the snore that came from them. “Damn… he’s really out. Good job.”

Lieb laughed and stuffed his thumbs into a belt and rocked on his heels in delight.
“Thanks! It’s pretty plausible for him too; he was -staggering- man. Probably kept him from drunk driving or bar hopping! Public service!”
He unhooked a thumb and wagged a finger at Eisen. “So… Autographs? Tell me more; I am not so cool as to know that I’m talking to a star after all, so I’mma need enlightened to the great presence I am in!

“Seeee doing the public a good service then,” he laughed. At least tonight wasn’t boring, it definitely didn’t feel like the work and responsibility that it had been made out to be in the briefing.
Pulling his lightstick out, he twirled it again and struck his normal pose that he had when the group did their thing at the beginning and end of each show. “I’m one of five guys in a band, we’re all agents too now. I handle the bars and work on audio stuff~ So much better than working nights as a security guard at the mall. Creeeeeepy times there man.”
He wouldn’t exactly say the band though, just in case someone might put two and two together, a few of the guys had already gotten on him for using their regular names on the tablet instead of their codenames.
“I think I’m pretty chill though, it’s just fun for me. Something to do between esports stuff, which has been a reallllll draaaaaggggggg lately.” Groaning as his shoulders sagged and he let his head fall back, he really wasn’t looking forward to the meta changes in ranked matchmaking.

“Cooooool, I may have to check around and see if I can put two and two together!” Liel said, giving a thumbs up.
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “You wanna patrol a bit together? I don’t have as cool hobbies, but we can chill and drain people and put them in funny poses! I can … I don’t know, teach you about bath bombs like I did my friend. He makes them now, and I mostly help or make them for myself, and I do dance on the side cause it’s wicked good exercise and great for your balance, you get that I’m sure!”
“Also, is that glow stick your weapon? I’m jealous!! Look at my stupid weapon!” He summoned it and waved it back and forth in a hopeless flopping motion.
“All I gotta say is it better get better from here.”

Mirroring the thumbs-up, he spun the lightstick again and wandered a bit ahead. “Oh, bet, I’m up for that. The rest of the guys are so serious about this stuff, but like… it’s super cool in my opinion, and they gotta let loose more.”
Leaning forward a bit to look at the ice cream, he poked it and then made a face. “Dude, that’s gross, but maybe it might do something cool later on? They said something about things becoming more cool or whatever, but I kinda zoned out when they were getting into the dry parts of responsibilities and stuff. Mine's the glowstick, yeah, like at one of our concerts.”
Emilia might like bath bombs, that much he knew, but he wasn’t sure about the next time she’d be back from that fashion school in Paris. “You gotta tell me about stuff then, man. Let’s go! It’s nice to have someone not so stone-faced about all this to talk with.”
