Sold Out!

[Nox]

Nox didn't really have a suggestion for him. As the music rose he shrugged and said, "I'm happy with human."
He wasn't anything special. Just a man with a gift. No different than people like Einstein, Lovelace, Bowie, Prince, hell even Methos - people who made a small difference. But he didn't say any of that as the music rose.

Jay offered his name and hand and Nox took it with a grin. "Nox."


He was glad he wasn't the only one that had seen the ginger man and his dead blue eyes. They weren't even nice blue eyes... Nox shook his head and listened to the music play.

Jay commented on being squishy and Nox took a quick look at his new friend and gave him an appraising glance, but in the dim lights he could really only make out a shilouette of him. His thoughts wandered and memories flood his mind making Nox blink. Strong hands. Close breathe on his neck and a pair of hazel eyes.

Nox shook himself out of the memory and hoped it hadn't been noticeable. "I didn't mean it like that."
Nox stammered apologetically. He nodded to the numskulls next to him - they were making him sound like an idiot. "The wizards in their games are easy to kill - low hit points, low armor - squishy. But I am the least squishy of the three of us in real life."
Nox leaned back in his chair and shot a single small fireball into the air and watched it dissipate into tiny little sparks. Nox didn't have time to wonder why he was being so reckless - maybe it was the beer.

Sage was giggling next to him as he whispered to Cruz about him. Nox rolled his eyes. They were even more childish than he was - and that was saying a lot.

Nox rested his arm on the arm rest with Sage's arm and he could have sworn the other man sighed. But it was impossible to know exactly what he'd heard. His other arm was annoyed. He hated sharing with strangers - not that Jay was really that big of a stranger I mean he knew the guys name. But Nox didn't get to contemplate his dilemma any further as the lights dropped and the sound systems crackled out. Nox leaned over to Sage and whispered. "No matter what happens you stay with Cruz."
Nox grabbed Cruz's arm. "Defense only. You both stay together."
Nox felt Cruz take the power in him and nodded. They'd stay safe together even if he got separated from them.

The aurora borealis and Methos were still going strong, but Nox knew the sound of the electricity going out abruptly. This was all the power. Nox could feel the menacing presence just beyond the stage, and a chill had run down his spine but he'd attributed it to the creepy guy.... And then the lights went out completely and the menacing presence died. The chill vanished with the sound and Nox stood up and was looking around in the darkness. Sage grabbed his hand and squeezed before he let go. The hacker knew that Nox was going to wade into danger - whatever it was - it was just who he was.

Nox pulled on the power and he could see shapes in the darkness. It wasn't infrared, what he wouldn't give for night vision goggles right now.

There was an ear piercing scream - one that would curdle your blood... Nox wanted to make an orb of light but that would be a dead give away - and Nox was certain he didn't want to be seen doing anything out of the ordinary right now... Nox started past Jay towards the direction of the scream.
