There was the sound of shattering windows and barking animals, strange figures walked about the streets, others publicly displaying weapons for the sake of selling. The streets were dark, cars passed by every now and then, the skys a tad bit more clear, it was gritty, and for every abandoned building was a packed street, for every packed street was many different ways to be harassed. Kalli didn't dare halt, looking for "East Sign Bar" as she pushed through the crowds and kept away from the supicious individuals. Windows displayed intriguing clothing or holographic dancers, she looked for a moment before moving on, such things seeming intriguing, but all too seedy. Neon lights flickered in every direction, each of the glaring colors displaying all sorts of names. Hotels, apartments, theaters, corporate offices. All of these variations shoved up together as if no choice was presented.

One neon sign flickered on and off, hanging uncomfortably with wires preventing it from collapsing onto the concrete streets. It hummed with the noise of clashing glass cups and cheers of the drunk. A hundred men and women of all variations put together with each other for the sake of a few drinks. East Sign Bar, it was as big as a two story house, lacking windows and any sort of proper lighting. A drunk remained asleep at the door's right, muttering and mumbling, wiggling his hand into the air as if to push away someone, before suddenly falling asleep again. Kalli walked on in...

The dancers showed off their assets to the crowd, money being tossed about as the more colorful lights were on display, as well as the dancers. Exotic apparel laid lazily about as sloppily dressed people watched the show with excitment. Kalli passed on by with disgust, going towards the counter of the bar while individuals talked and yelled, the walls covered in strange liquids and what she could only guess to be excrement...The smell of the place was horrendous. Even worse by the breath of those who went here.

Taking a empty seat, Kalli folded her arms, staring blankly at the surface of the counter with confused eyes. She had little idea of what to do next, why even go here? To forget the past? The driver was as wise as a newborn child, this wouldn't lead her to anything good. Sighing, she leaned back in her chair and looked about, making sure no one was getting too close. The bartender walked over, shining a glass. "We ain't providing free seats, got money, buy somethin', 'else you can get on out of here. 'Course unless you're here because of the fact we're hirin'." The man said, a large fellow with a apron on, under it was a white, thick sweater and cargo pants. His face seemed tattered, marked with scars of the past, tattoos lining up from his hand to his face.

"Hiring?" Kalli asked, leaning forward. "Yeah, hirin' strippers, 'we're already packed with security guards." The bartender replied, Kalli looking at him in disgust, which he simply glared back. "Well if you ain't buyin' or joinin', then like I said, out of the seat, we don't give 'em for free." He added, Kalli quickly sighed and got up, brushing her back off before finding a corner to hide in as the waves of people shifted in and out. While the chaos of a brawl ensued, she quickly stole a chair, pulling it to a corner table and sitting in it, watching the commotion ensue...The two however were quickly dragged out, by the same bartender she had met only a mere few minutes earlier. The entire scene had barely evolved beyond a mere brawl before he pushed the two to the ground and pulled them by their collars out.

The music didn't dare stop for a second and neither did the people, they all treated the brawl as common as air itself, excited in their talk, the movement, the array of colors. And Kalli merely sat and watched with observant eyes...
