Night Hung overhead in the artificial sky of the life sphere, as the time for this Friday Night of Fun was drawn close. Yes...Finally....

It was Friday.







The Maharaja, A Expy Disco Club created by residents of the City of Kamurrucho, Was playing a slightly muffled Disco Tune inside of it, as several Party-going guests were walking inside, and alot of them wore...Uniform? It was then that one might look up and see a Banner, Hung right below the sign reading 'Maharaja'.

"Tonight Only! First Official Life Sphere Disco Tournament Open!"

Hah! ...Disco Tournament. Well, Good thing they werent going to compete in that--

But, Then you may notice that Claus was also there below the Banner, Holding what looked like a Pamphlet for the Disco Event, with eyes wide open He wanted to win the Disco Tournament...And lucky for him, He had a whole team coming in to join him for it, as he stood before this Disco Club, Waiting for his Friends.

It was a Night to Party.

He ruined it. He just arrived and he already ruined it.

Well, that probably wasn't how Claus felt about it, but Shadow was already starting to regret every decision that lead him to that very moment. No one told me everyone was wearing suites here, Shadow thought to himself as a bead of sweat rolled down the side of his head. How did everyone get the memo but me? Even Claus was wearing a suite! Claus was a child, and he was able to figure out to bring a suite. What kind of moron was the so-called "Ultimate Life Form" that he couldn't figure out where they were going at get a suite?

...Not that he even had one. Saving the world more than once didn't exactly pay any bills, and from what he heard, suites didn't come cheap. GUN did pay him while he was working for them, but... well, they could be kinda stingy too.

In any case, Shadow kept glancing over at the kid nervously, hoping that he wouldn't mind that Shadow was just going without wearing anything fancy. Honestly, the hedgehog wasn't really one to care about stuff like that anyway, but he wanted to make sure the kid had a good time. Despite the hedgehog's mind being occupied, the music playing in the disco club was so loud, Shadow couldn't ignore it. The hedgehog looked at the sign, noticing some sort of competition going on, causing Shadow's eyes to squint a bit in amusement.

Heh... I feel sorry for the idiots who have to participate in that. The hedgehog glanced over at Claus, about two seconds away from making a snide remark before clamming up when he noticed something in his hand. A pamphlet... for the Disco competition... Oh... We're the idiots participating in... that... Shadow tried to give the kid as confident of a nod as he could before turning his back toward Claus in a desperate attempt to hide just how panicked the hedgehog was.

Shadow wasn't one who was scared of many things, unless they were things worth being scared of. He didn't really have silly little phobias, he wasn't afraid of anything that wasn't rational or the dark or anything like that. He did have one very crucial sort of... well, I wouldn't say phobia, but something that made him really discomfort: Shadow didn't like having a whole bunch of eyes on him.

Now that's not to say he necessarily has full blown "stage fright" since he's been on stadiums before with now problem, but... he also isn't really the one called upon to make any speeches or anything. Some sort of competition is usually involved, specifically, one he performs well in. While he had been capable of dancing, he hadn't done it in quite a long time, and he... didn't really know what form of dancing "disco" was. He was born in the fifties, and was frozen for five decades. One of those decades were the seventies.

So yeah... Eyes? Dancing? Topped off with the pressure of trying to help Claus have a good time? Shadow was about ready to panic on the inside, but somehow managed to keep every bit of a hint off of his face while Claus saw it. Shadow tried to gulp in whatever doubts he had and shook his head a little before looking back at Claus with a bit of a smirk. "You want in on that, Claus?" Shadow asked as he started moving toward the entrance, already knowing the answer. Suddenly... there seemed to be an awful lot of eyes on them... And Shadow casually stopped at the entrance and waited for his friend to catch up.

He wasn't going to enter in behind Claus and try and get everyone to look at him instead of on Shadow. What ever gave you that ridiculous idea?

Several steps of wooden feet follow the click of suede shoes and the hues of a moss-green suit. Emblazoned with the symbol of the Great Dell'Thayme House upon its back, the sword pointed towards the heaven, with the tendril-like energy wings of the heavens wrapping its blade down, was the mark of a man who was perhaps... important. Or at the very least, gaudy.

The flanking golems stand aside, brooms and trashpicks in hand, and that pure clean suited half-elf stands at the doors to this place, taking a breath in.

Isonus was here, and he had put every bit of effort into looking incredible.

The elf enters a little later than the other two, fashionably late perhaps? Isonus didn't care for that, he cared for one person here today, one young lad he'd put his all into saving. Claus, and there the boy stood, standing beside Shadow. He approaches without any further warning, tugging lightly at the cuffs of his suit.

"You look great, Claus. Shadow, I see you've groomed this evening, splendid."

He looks over to the dance floor, the fires of certainty and courage danced in his eyes with groovy zeal. The lights were his pyre, and goddamnit he'd be the torch.

"...Say, he brings a valid point - the dance floor looks bare without us upon it. Although, there are other tasks we can take up before then. My boy, we'll have fun tonight. I know it."

Jr looked up at the venue that stood in front of him, tugging at the little tux he'd managed to squeeze himself into. This was definitely the right place, but....everything looked so bright and over-the-top. It was a little overwhelming for the Koopa prince. Yet, Claus had asked him to come, and he had sounded so happy when Jr said he would, so Jr wasn't going to let him down. Trying (and failing) to pull his tux over his stomach one last time, Jr approached Claus and the others.

"I'm here!" Jr announced his presence, looking between Claus, Shadow, and Isonus. They all looked dressed to impress (...aside from Shadow, but that didn't come as a surprise to Jr.). The Koopa prince was just glad he didn't struggle with this tux for nothing. "So, what's gonna happen now?" Jr asked.

Before anyone could answer that question, Jr noticed the pamphlet in Claus's hand, and mentally started sweating a little. Disco Contest? So that meant...dancing? In front of a crowd like this? While Jr wasn't a stranger to dancing in public, it had been a long time since he'd done anything like that. And...well, he wasn't exactly light on his feet. He was a split second from telling Claus he wasn't interested, but then he saw the look on his face. While Jr hadn't known Claus for quite as long as Isonus or Shadow had, but he'd heard about everything that had happened regarding him, and what he'd been through. Seeing him so happy for once, Jr didn't have the heart to tell him no.

"...Yeah, that sounds like fun!" Jr piped up after Isonus. "I'm sure we'll be the best dancers there!" ...Jr doubted that, but if he could keep up Claus's mood, then why not go along with the fun?
