Nuclear Parliament: Explosive New Recruit!

Rising star, Shinichi of Nuclear Parliament, promises to bring some more punk to the punk-rock band. He was caught today with bandmate Roxas leaving a bar at about 3 in the afternoon, drinks in hand. They head a few blocks away to a local ice cream parlor, apparently not only drunk, but high on something unconfirmed.

Later upon returning to the bar they have a confrontation with staff about the stolen glasses. Roxas begins shouting about his supposed fame, only intensifying the situation. The newcomer, however, looks the staff member in the eye as he smashes his glass on the ground, and we have the photos to prove it!

Rising star Shin appears at first to be trying to appease the staff member. He can be seen smiling even through his own outburst and right out of the door. The involved staff refused to comment on the situation at first, but just before we moved on, the manager informed us that the card had been declined! We have a first hand report from a protected informant that Shin was overheard cancelling the card on the phone, though with the reckless behaviour we have to wonder if he hasn’t just spend all his money on drugs and alcohol.

A Virgo Entertainment informant has suggested that the new pick might have been to get Nuclear Parliament a bit more of a rebellious reputation, something that Junkyard Carnival from rival company Pride Records has cornered the market on. But is this new guitarist worth the trouble -- and the legal fees -- he seems keen on getting?

[Oh.. tissues. What were those for again? Sorry, Roxas is lost in an intense post-orgasm haze. At this moment he doesn't care what happens of that. In a few he might. Several hours from now, if he isn't passed out, he'll definitely be wondering and upset about the then hardened mess of what was sticky on him, so fine, he'll wipe up the remains.

Never the fun part, which is expected. But what is unexpected is any bit of contact after, coming in the form of a hug here. Maybe it's that he's still significantly inebriated, maybe it's that he's just not used to this, but after hesitance he does hug back.. kind of.]

Freaking amazing.

[That's all he can say, with all the breathe he has left in him anyway. The next most important thing is him getting his clothes back on so he can resume the evening, or pass out not-naked, whichever comes first. But.. he had no idea where those things are. (Yes, they're next to him on the floor, but he can't figure that out right now.)

Maybe Shin will want to follow suit soon and do the clothing thing too, so he can join in that.]

[bass_instincts]

Good. [Shin lights a cigarette first and offers one to Roxas. He's going to enjoy his own glow before worrying about clothes.]

[inversekeyblade]

[What is that glowing stick thing? Another hit? Oh, why not, lets not be rude here. As offered, he'll take it and get in a drag, just one and no more, then return it to Shin for him to indulge to his heart's content.

He's far too tired, by mind and body, to really say or do anything right now other than get clothes on.. and catch his breathe. So he'll wait, enjoying this best he can, knowing it'll end so savoring the moments it has to offer. Eyes closed, with a smile,] You always smoke after?

[bass_instincts]

[Shin breathes out slowly, letting the smoke roll out of his mouth.] Yeah. It somehow always makes it all feel even better than it already does.

[inversekeyblade]

[How is that even possible? Though he's taken a hit, sucked it in and let it out, Roxas isn't feeling any of the same except burning esophagus and struggling lungs. Maybe he's not used to it.. but maybe he'd rather not. Either way, he's tired as hell. He wants his clothes on, but he wants to sleep. The sleeping thing is weighing more than anything.]

I kind of.. want my pants. And such.

[bass_instincts]

[Shin sits up and grabs Roxas's pants from the floor.] You can stay here, I'd be worried about you passing out on the way to your place.

[It probably didn't have the same effect for Roxas because he's treating it like weed rather than a cigarette. With how much Shin smokes both, it could be easy to confuse while drunk. Shin also is rather obviously addicted to the cancer sticks, which probably adds to his enjoyment.]

We could shower first.

[inversekeyblade]

[Yeah.. all those things sound great. From staying here, to passing out, to showering.. especially showering. Definitely showering, because he wants that more than anything now, after getting his.]

Yeah.. if you're offering, a shower, definitely. Let's do that. [He doesn't care if it means separate or joint, he just really, really wants to get clean before getting into clothes and passing out.]

[bass_instincts]

[Shin moves to the bathroom, but stops,] The bathtub is also big.

[It is bigger than the standard. He had pushed for having a tub big enough for more than one person. If he's honest though, he would have to admit that he's disappointed this is his first chance to really make use of the extra room in the way he intended.]

[inversekeyblade]

[There won't be anything going on but bathing, drying, getting clothes back on, then sleeping. If he makes it that far. It's coming to that point in the night where he doesn't care where he ends up, just that his body needs to shut down. Soon.]

Uh-huh.. that happens. [Way to not make sense, Roxas. Shin might be stopping for whatever reason, to think about something, a giant bug in the middle of their path, broken glass, but it's not going to stop Roxas from hauling ass to the bathroom. Finding the tub, sliding in, no water, then curling up at the edge of the basin in a fetal position.

Done. Knocked out.]

[bass_instincts]

[Shin laughs at that, but runs the bath anyway, bathing himself and Roxas. He then drains the tub and, if Roxas doesn't wake up, he'll end up wrapping Roxas in a towel and carrying him to his bed.

Roxas will get to see Shin without his spiked hair and piercings, too. Apparently once asleep Shin's a pretty deep sleeper.]

[inversekeyblade]

[The most that can be had out of Roxas as he's being handled are a few movements, some grumbles at best, and a face that suggests no feeling. Just substance induced unconsciousness.

The real fun beings when he comes to however many hours later. When he does wake up he's still very tired and groggy; that was not a restful sleep. Instead it was a much needed body shut down. But what he doesn't comprehend right away is that he's not where he thought.

This isn't his room. This isn't his bed. ...that isn't his other body in the bed with him.

Oh God. What happened. Those are the words playing in his head on repeat as he pieces it together, remembering vague details. He.. definitely had sex with this-- is that Shin? He looks kinds of different in the morning, huh?

...Goddamnit. Maybe he should cut back.. but it wasn't a bad time, necessarily. Was it? While thinking this over, he's going to try to gather himself and his clothes and whatever else and very, very quietly sneak out so he can go to his room and do some serious thinking about his life decisions so far.]
