A Little Dancing

Authors note: And now we return to our regular weekly chapter publishing (until my next scheduled break in august)

After protecting their ears once again, they entered the club. Ellie immediately interlaced her fingers with John’s so as to not get split up, and even with the earplugs silencing the room, they could still feel their chests vibrate.

Despite their destination being less than two metres from the entrance, it was still a fight to get there, and lucky for John he had Ellie who pushed through the crowd pulling him onto the square podium. She hugged tight against him as he exited the barrier pulling them both through.

After the disorienting feeling of coming back to the mundane side of the club subsided, the two felt a noticeable difference in sound level due to the atmosphere no longer reverberating. They disposed of their ear protection and were met with the sound of a busy club at a much more manageable volume.

Curiously the club was pitch black, and walking back in the direction they’d entered the podium with his arms outstretched, he quickly realised why. The podium was enclosed by a pitch black curtain, as soon as his hand touched it, lights and lasers penetrated through.

“I guess the curtain is so that people don’t just suddenly appear from nowhere without explanation,” John assumed, raising his volume in order to project his voice over the music and crowds.

“It makes sense,” Ellie yelled back. “Hey, since Robin is likely off enjoying his night, only fair we have more fun too, right? Would you care to dance?”

John laughed. “I can’t promise that I’ll be any good, but if it’s with you, I’m more than willing to make myself look like an ass.”

Though they were no longer struggling to move around, the club was still much fuller than John would expect on a Tuesday night. Stepping off the podium they were immediately stopped by a bouncer.

“Are you here for the club or just exiting?” he asked.

“Oh, well, we were gonna stay for a while, do we need to pay an entry fee or something?” John asked.

“Nah, the band on your wrist gets you free entry. Hold out your hand if you don’t mind,” the guy said.

John held out his hand and was promptly stamped. He then looked at Ellie who mirrored John and got her own stamp.

“Enjoy your night, oh, and your first drink is two for one,” he said before going back to the door.

John guided Ellie towards the bar and had her sit at one of the free tables while he headed over to get their drinks. He wondered if Ellie would want something alcoholic or not, but since she’d stopped when he had, he decided against it.

As he pondered John spotted a hand reach over and take a glass; what caught his attention was the wristband which looked similar to the one he and Ellie had gotten from The Inferno. He leaned over to see the half-Asian beauty the arm belonged to and decided to chance using Observe on her.

Name: Jane ‘Rave’ Hollmey

Title: Techno Enthusiast | Class: Shackled Lightbearer | Guild: Collide
Level: 15 | Age: 19 | Gender: F | Race: Human
Body type: Pear | Height (cm): 172 | Breast size: B

Character Info:

Though Rave is a student at Ashcroft Academy, she often ditches to pursue her own interests.
Fun-loving and more than enthusiastic to dance or fight, she can be found in several frequent hideout spots around Springfield.

Opinion:

From sight alone, you’re just another stranger in the world.
From reputation, she’s heard rumours around school about you, though due to their source she doesn’t take much stock in what has been said.
If she was ever to encounter you, she’d prefer to make her own opinion of you. Not that she’s particularly interested in making her own opinion of you.

By the time John had skimmed the window, Jane had vanished. Shrugging he turned back to the bartender who was waiting for him to order.

Drinks in hand John began to make his way back to the table. Seeing Jane, however, got John scanning around, checking for any other wristbands.

Sitting at the table John slid Ellie’s drink over. “Didn’t slip anything into my drink I hope? Cos you know, you don’t need **** to get my panties off. In fact, I’d slide them across the table right now if you asked,” she said, raising her voice to be heard over the music, before winking at John.

“My supplier is out; even if I wanted to, I couldn’t.” John laughed. “Hey, I’ve noticed a few people with these on,” he said, raising his hand to show the wristband.

“Really? I guess I haven’t really been paying attention,” she replied, taking a sip of her drink.

“Yeah, there was a girl at the bar, everyone on that other table had one on, and I saw another person walk past me wearing one too,” he divulged.

“Guess there’s more people in the Abyss than we thought, or it could be the free entry and two-for-one drinks.” She laughed.

“So, you want to finish these drinks off and then go down to the dance floor?” he asked, leaning towards her.

“Oh my, are you asking me to dance?” she dramatically questioned. “Why, I would love to.”

Ellie jumped to her feet and dragged John down to the dance floor. His girlfriend tried to lead him as they began dancing to the music, but he seemed to have two left feet.

Maybe I should give you a dancing skill, I’ve seen fish thrash around less.

Ellie giggled reading the message but continued to dance with John. On his part he grumbled a little but laughed it off, pulling Ellie close and kissing her.

John’s arms flailed to keep his balance as someone pulled him back. Ellie’s lips were exchanged for another as a petite raven-haired drunk slid her tongue into his mouth.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Ellie in a similar situation; a blonde rested her hand against the back of Ellie and a brunette girl's neck, pressing them into a kiss.

The raven-haired drunk pulled back and laughed as another brunette appeared, pushing him towards Ellie. The couple were swept up as the quartette of drunks surrounded them, dancing extremely closely.

The girl who had pulled him into a kiss was quick to grind against his crotch, causing it to harden. She laughed and began calling to her friends. One girl managed to slide her hand across his crotch. Everything had happened in a short space of time leaving neither John nor Ellie able to properly react one way or another.

As quickly as it had begun, the four girls straightened up with a look of horror as a voice cut through the crowd, “Hey, sluts! Leave them the fuck alone!” Looking over, John saw Jane, who was dancing her way between people coming towards them.

The quartet scampered off in no time, and by the time Jane had reached them, the two were alone once again.

“Ya both alright?” she asked. “Dumb bitches! They probably spotted the fancy clothing the two of ya have on and assumed you’d buy them drinks or something, they’re in here all the time, pisses me off!”

“Thanks, Jane,” John said, trying to laugh it off.

Jane’s face turned serious. “Do I know you?”

John almost kicked himself after putting his foot in his mouth yet again. “N-not really, we go to Ashcroft together, I’m John.”

“Oh, right, the punching bag…” she said with a wince. “I don’t envy ya. Anyway, now that you’re all good, I’ll leave ya to it.”

Ellie reached out to gently grip Jane’s arm. “Hey, you can stay and dance with us for a while if you want? Though those girls were essentially dancing at us rather than with us, the biggest problem was how aggressive they were and how claustrophobic it was beginning to feel. Neither of us would be upset having a cute girl or two dancing with us.”

Jane smiled, turned back and looked both John and Ellie up and down. “Sure, I’m always up for some fun.”

After maybe twenty seconds of dancing, Jane slowed down. “Ya kinda suck at dancing, ya know that? Here, let me show ya a few simple things to do so you’re not just flapping around like those tube guys.”

She got closer to him, taking his hands and showing some movements which seemed to help, but John couldn’t help blushing at being face to face with the cute half-Asian. It felt like she was half helping him, half teasing him.

“See, not too bad, eh?” she said, pulling back and starting to dance again.

John saw a smirk from his girlfriend in the corner of his eye, before she began grinding on the brightly clothed third, who seemed to be more than fine with it. She turned and pressed her ass against John and the feeling of her body rubbing against him caused his dick to begin awakening again.

Ellie pulled away from John and began dancing, which was when Jane decided to pay her back, grinding on her happily while pulling John along as to not exclude him. Soon enough, though, she turned around and let John feel the round firmness of her behind as it rubbed against his crotch. Feeling the hardened appendage, Jane smiled, pressed her ass against his dick and leaned back, turning her head slightly.

“That your phone or do ya like my ass that much?” she asked.

John blushed while Ellie answered, “It’s definitely that ass; I’m sure either of us would feel lucky to get some time with it.”

Jane laughed. “That’s good to hear, I’m quite proud of it.”

She turned, giving her another chance to admire her posterior, shaking it in front of the alchemist, and directed her attention to John, sliding her hand down his stomach and onto the front of his pants. She lightly groped his crotch as if curiously gauging his size, before pressing her palm against it and stimulating him.

“This may seem a little cruel, especially after teasing you so much, but I think ya should ask your hottie behind me if she’d want to visit the bathroom to take care of your… problem. If I was in a mood to take this somewhere else, I might be interested in helping, but I’m not partied out yet. If ya happen to come back to the dance floor once you’re all satisfied, I’d be more than happy to come dance with ya both again.” Neither John or Ellie had a chance to say anything before she’d already spun away from them into the crowd.

Ellie got close to John and watched as their dance partner vanished. “Damn, I wouldn’t have minded getting her into our bed, that body is just...” Rather than saying anything, she bit her lip

John’s gaze lingered on the spot he last saw Jane. “Yeah…” he sighed.

“How about we get a change in scenery? Maybe somewhere we might get laid?” Ellie asked.

“You mean like back to your place?” John laughed.

Ellie groaned. “No, I mean somewhere we could pick someone else up. There have been too many people approaching and not enough people fucking. We need to get at least one person into bed, so I say we hit a spot that could net us an easy catch.”

John looked confused for a moment. “Are you saying you wanna find a prostitute? We could have done that at Elation.”

“No, dummy, I… shut up, and follow me,” Ellie said, pulling him towards the exit of the club.

The two walked through the mostly empty Springfield town centre. John took hold of Ellie’s hand, smiling before kissing her on the cheek. “So, where are we off to?” He asked.

“Well, Robin mentioned Mistress Orana using her MILF charm and it reminded me of a place around here,” Ellie teased.

A lightbulb went off in John’s head. “You’re talking about The Railway, aren’t you?” John asked flatly.

“Oh, you’ve heard of it? Thought about going before, have you?” she coaxed.

“Not exactly, apparently some guy from Ashcroft picked a woman up from there and went to another bar. Turned out the woman’s husband and his friends had decided to go to the bar, and when they saw him making out and groping his wife, they put him in the hospital, since then the guys from Ashcroft have avoided it like the plague.”

Ellie hummed. “Well, I don’t care, greater the risk, the greater the reward and all that. Plus, we just won’t move to another bar. So who was the guy? And what happened to the husband and the group that beat the kid?”

“Dunno, it was just one of the rumours that spread. I kinda assumed that the jocks spread it so that they didn’t have any competition and no one really questioned it. The jocks are kinda why I’d be a little wary of going,” John responded.

“Well, we’ll go. If you see someone you recognise, we’ll just go somewhere else. Also, we don’t actually need to pick some woman up, that was partially a joke.” Ellie snickered.

“Was it though? When is it ever a joke when it comes to picking up girls with you?” John laughed.

“Guess you got me there… but no, we don’t have to actually do that. I hear it’s a nice place, so if you decide we don’t want to find a third, we can just enjoy the atmosphere before finishing the night in the lab, with some advanced cuddling,” Ellie said, getting closer to him and rubbing her body against his as she finished.

John rolled his eyes but chuckled. “Sure, what’s the worst that could happen?”
