This nightclub is a place where people from all races come to unwind. After a bustling day at work, people let the Red Moon take care of them. This facility is owned by a Kami DeFleur and she is often spotted here. The outside: Nothing more than a rather large looking stone building with a plain looking sign out front reading "The Red Moon". A bouncer is always stationed at the door. The inside: The inside is very different than the outside. Everything is in red and black from the chairs to the tables to even some of the glassware. A large bar is positioned on the right hand side of the room and in the corner is a two sets of stairs, one leading up and the other leading down. Not many know about the happenings in the basement, but the upstairs is known to be lodging. In the main room, towards the back, sits a small stage complete with a dj. The middle of the floor is made to look like a dance floor with strobe lights flashing everywhere. Opposite the side of the bar is the table area. There is always a free table for those who wish to relax. The club caters to not only humans but also those of the nightworld. Because of this, if you aren't in the mood for a martini, then give the bloody Mary a try.

Stumbling across a building, she was surprised to recognize the sign out front, gazing up at it with a small smile even as she stole a peek through the window. Looking past the bouncer as she realized it was out, plain as day. This city obviously didn't have any masquerade laws, which could be good or bad. Sighing she pulled out her ID and handed it to the bouncer, who took a second look at her and then at her age. She only smiled and slipped him a hundred.
"Believe me, I've been drinking for 3 years now..once more isn't going to hurt me." Taking her wallet back, she slid it back into her pocket, taking a good look around to see if it had the same floor plan and smiled to herself. She noticed the dj and took a table off to one side, slipping into it and ordering a strawberry martini for old times sake, sadly recalling times she had spent in Auria's Red Moon. But then again, it seemed like forever and a day ago.
Thanking the waiter, she pulled off the strawberry, sucking the alcohol off of it as she slumped abit in her seat. It was A Tuesday night and not very crowded to begin with.

Lucy flashed her ID to the bouncer outside and made her way into the nightclub that she had heard so much about. After the night before, she needed a strong drink... or ten.
Plopping herself down at the bar, she ordered ten shots of tequilla and a lime. It was time to forget.

Raditz came in right behind Lucy, trying to catch up with her but she was moving quickly through the crowd...
But once she sat down he came over to sit next to her... He kept his eyes down for now and though he knew why she was here, and that she was in a bad mood as an understatement... He reached over to slowly put his hand on hers and give it a gentle squeeze. He wished she wouldn't look to a bottle first but then again, he was here to follow the same thinking really... So he ordered himself a bottle of Captain Morgan's Private Stock and a glass, but he wouldn't let go of her hand...

"Raditz... please..."
She looked over at him after taking one of her shots.
"You have been so wonderful... but with what I plan to do tonight... well..."
Looking down, she hid her teary eyes.
"I don't want you to see me this weak. I... I'll meet you at the hotel room in a bit..."
This was clearly an invitation for him to leave. She felt strange tonight. Numb. As if the realization of never going home had hit her. The realization of never seeing her sister again...

Finding herself needing to see just what this club had to offer, she picked up her glass, heading over to knock on the djs booth as the person inside opened it up. Leaning against it as she offered a few suggestions and asked about how Kami had been lately. She had to check up on old friends before the conversation turned of course to music and some of the stupid people that usually wandered into clubs, going back and forth about stories.
Catching sight of someone who looked like Lucy she stopped talking a moment, taking a sip of her drink as she found she was busy talking with someone as well. So she offered a suggestion for a song before she walked off towards the dancefloor, paying close attention to how the sound system seemed to play. Clubs were more than a way of life for her, they were a hobby. And music helped calm her. The familiar strains of a Nine INch Nails song started to play as she got lost in people watching for a moment, getting the feel of the night life for this town as well.

Raditz shook his head, which right now had short-crew cut black strands with his all black coat and belted pants. And though he was listening to her over the beat of the music that seemed to be all pervassive, he only scooted closer to her, moing his hand from her hand to around her shoulders, rubbing it slightly as he leaned his head against hers to kiss her curly hair...
"I know... But I won't be leaving you alone... Just remeber that ok?"

Lucy slammed down three more shots in a row before noticing the familiar blonde. A half smile pasted itself across her face as an idea came to her. Jumping from her seat, she pushed Raditz away gently.
"I have a suprise for you m'dear."
She took two more of the shots before turning to find the woman again.
"Oh and order me a few more of those, eh?"
She left him, heading straight for Magik.
"Hey you!"

Raditz watche dlucy run off, and though he was loathe to stay put and let her meander about he knew she'd be back... She could be harsh at times but not malicious enough to leave him alone here... He knew this was Kami's bar and all but he also hadn't seen her in this time and that would be ackward to say the least...
But he made sure that when he ordered Lucy's spare drinks, to down one of them himself before returning to his rum.

Pyrathas glanced at the line emerging from the building ahead. A bright sign with crimsom letters said "Red Moon"
A form of Tavern Perhaps?Pyrathas wondered.
It had been a while since he last had a drink. the Temple forbade achohol while in service to the divine, but he wasn't in his own dimension. So it really didn't matter.
"ID" The bouncer said gruffly.
"How about fifty gold pieces?" Pyrathas asked inoccently.
After a while of haggling. Pyrathas enetered the building and sat at one of the bars near the dancefloor, Ordering a drink at random.

Hearing someone call out, she turned while she had been immersed in her drink, smiling to see it was indeed Lucy.
"Hey you! Have to say you're looking much better than last time I left you, how are ya hon?" Smiling, she reached out to give her a tight embrace. "I didn't know you were here too. And I ran into Zelse too, and to find out Kami has a club here is nice. Feels like home in a way. If I truly wasn't starting to wander around again. What can I do for ya?"
She looked back towards the dj and gave them the thumbs up on their music choices, least it was swinging and getting people up to dance. She felt right at home, right there.
"You here drinking? I'd comment, but then I'd be a hypocrite, have to remember your not that five year old snatching wine bottles anymore." She smirked, recalling a time when Alex had shown up to scold her for doing so.

"Oh God! I hadn't thought about that day in a very long time, Magik! You make me feel so old!"
She turned her head towards the dj as well and flashed a smile, showing her own approval. This place was soon becomming her favorite hang out. And to think, it was supposedly owned by her own mother, whom she had yet to actually meet in this time.
"Hey, I have a suprise for you! Come with me..."
She grabbed Magik's hand and began to lead her to Raditz. When they were close enough for her to see him, she simply stepped back and grabbed another shot.
"Care to join me and your son for a few drinks?"

She smiled, reaching out to ruffle Lucy's hair. "You have to remember, it was practically almost only yesterday for me, hon. What, a month or so ago?" She arched her eyebrow at hearing she had a surprise for her.
Feeling Lucy grab her hand and start to pull her through the dancefloor, holding her martini above her head as she heard Lucys words. She came to a dead standstill, yanking back on Lucy's hand as she noticed the familiar silver hair as it hit her, her drink slooshing over the side of her martini, but she was oblivious of the spilt alcohol.
"Raditz."
It hit her like a ton of bricks as she suddenly felt panick well up deep inside of her as she suddenly felt flushed. "I don't know if it's a good idea for him to see me now..I mean, I'm far from how I will be in the future and well..." She was afraid to see how her parentahge had affected him as she had seemingly failed Bikky as her godmother. She felt faint, coming face to face with the possibility of seeing him. torn between embracing him or turning and simly running in the other direction. What if she had done something wrong along the way? She found herself suddenly almost hyperventalating. "God.."
She had to raise a hand to her head as someone's tauntings again reached her mind. His words still haunting her to this day. "Really, I mean...Lucy. I don't know if I can." She started backing up slowly, tears reaching her usually smiling eyes. To see and confront the future, to meet her son who was pretty much the same age. "Are you sure it wouldn't hold repercussions?"

Raditz heard Lucy walking up and talking to someone, but when he heard exactly what was said in that last sentence he froze, literaly! His skin instantly developed a layer of frost on it due to the fact that he'd began to sweat and in his 'fight or flight' accidentally froze all of it...
He didn't even move a single millimeter though... His hand that was on the bottle of rum was the only thing that moved and that was because it was shaking slightly.
He was scared... Scared that he would just lose it... He saw her ripped apart and now she was behind him... And after hearing that he'd just lost Livvie... He couldn't lose Magik again too. Not twice.
But he turned around after a moment, the frost disapearing as he did, looking up to her with a scared but happy expression as he did so, "H... h... Hi mom..."

"It doesn't matter for us anymore Magik. We can't go home!"
She laughed almost maniacly as she slammed another shot down.
"Besides, what are you worried about. Let me just tell you, he turned out wonderful and he loves you so..."
