Aron
The figure continues walking and doesn't take off his headphones. It doesn't seem to phase him. "Need help? Nah, man. I'm just runnin' a li'l late. There's a new band playin' the shop tonight and I don't wanna miss their opening set, yeah? Some of the riffs on their debut album were si-i-i-ick."

Aron raises an eyebrow and smiles. "Oh yeah? You seem pretty chilled out, but I don't smell any substances on ya'. What are we looking at, a mosh pit, a smoked out den or maybe something classier?"

"Heheh." The guy chuckles. "Yeah, like, more like a pretty legit little shop, yeah? But I wouldn't call it 'classy' or nothin'. You comin'?"

Aron's eyes wander over to Vitcorp looming in the distance, lingering for an instant before he quickly returns his attention to his schoolmate. "Sure, why not?" He asks, extending a hand. "Name's Aron!"

"I'm, uh..." He fumbles while going for your hand the first time, and you're suddenly not so convinced about your previous assumption. "Avel, yeah. So, like, I think I've seen you around a few times." He starts leading the way down the street. "So, you into the Indie music scene then? Since you're, like, new around here I can recommend a few good hangouts."

Aron kicks back and casually follows Avel. "Yeah, I listen to a lot of different stuff. Anything that rocks, you know? I don't know my head from my toes here, so I'm all ears!"

"Heh heh. Don't worry about it. This is the type of place that even a lot of locals don't even know about."
You head deeper downtown, never quite out of sight of that giant tower you saw before. Right by the railroad tracks, Avel points out a small building that looks like little more than a trailer. A muscled man in a tank top, black pants, with a spiky belt and collar eyes you as you approach.
"ID?" he asks.
"Yeah, man." Avel hands his over. The man gives it a glance and waves him in, then turns to you.

Aron reaches into his pocket and produces an ID.
"It's a year old. Face was a li'l smoother back then... hope it checks out!"

"Uh-huh. As long as you're not trying to pass as 21 with some fake ID, I don't care." He takes a stamp out of his pocket and presses it to the back of your hand, then waves you in. "No alcohol."
Inside, you find a surprisingly nice, well-stocked cafe. A small crowd are sitting about a few small tables, quietly chatting. Avel is already finishing paying for what is very clearly a beer, taking an open seat at the bar and turning to face a simple stage they have set up. "So, you ever been to this sorta place before?"

Aron asks for a glass of water and sits down next to Avel, not even looking at the beer twice. He drinks half in one go, seeming thirsty. "...A café?" He asks, in response to the question. "Yeah, and I guess more and more have live bands or whatever these days. So what's the band?"

"Badder Adder. Kinda vague rock-punk style, with a bit of a metal twist. They're a local group, dropped their first CD about a year ago. Think this is their first live gig." Avel takes a deep draw from his drink. "Now, I'm a vet at this kinda place, yeah. What about you? Ever been to this kinda thing before?" He grins. "I'm gonna bet 'no.' Or at least not often."

Aron chuckles and rubs the back of his head, flashing Avel a toothy, apologetic grin. "You got me there! My brothers are all into mosh pits and stuff, not really my scene. Guess I got my music tastes from dad, the stoic bastard."
He sits back, taking a tender sip this time from his water. "...I do like metal, though. There're a few bands that are big back in the home country..."

"Oh, yeah? Where's that?"
The band takes the stage and starts warming up.

"Iceland. Y'know. Sleepy place, kiddy gene pool. Even for a Scandinavian country, metal's all we've got. Besides yoghurt."

"Oh, Hell yeah. The place with that volcano with the freaky-long name." Avel nods as if imagining everyone is personally acquainted with Eyjafjallajökull. "And a lotta, like, uh... geothermal power. Very cool. Or, like, hot."
You spend some time hanging out while the band plays - they're not that good but Avel seems into it. If nothing else they're at least loud, too loud to really hear much else.
Once the show is over, Avel finishes up his drink, quickly pays for you both, and heads out. He bumps fists with the bouncer on the way out, then turns to do the same to you. "Thanks for comin' out, man. Just hit me up if you wanna check out another band of something sometime.
