Melody was standing on stage, her heart was pounding in her chest as she walked out. It had been only a week since her band got signed and kicked her out this being her first show since then. Taking a deep breath she licked lips and greeted the crowd, there were some fans of hers there already in the crowd.. People who stayed with her despite most going with her band.. These were her black sheep that strayed from the crowd just. Like. Her.

"How's everyone doing tonight!"

Her question was answered with a chorus of screams and cheers. This made her smile confidently. The stage was the one place that she could be free. No powers. No struggles. Just her and the music that she loved to make. Lifting her arm the air pick in hand she did the one thing that she loved to do more than anything while she was performing. With pick in hand the runes on Mel's arm lit up purple as she struck the first note on her solid black guitar.

Licking her lips Mel stepped closer to the mic and began singing 'Never wanted to dance' by MSI.

"There is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself
There is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself
There is nothing you can DO that I have not already done to myself
Oh no, there is nothing you can do that I have not already done to myself!"​

Melody's body swayed in time to the song that she sang as the crowd swelled and sang along wit her. Given that it was a popular title and she was known for doing covers.

"Never wanted to dance with nobody, not you!
Never wanted to dance with nobody but you-
Never wanted to dance with nobody but you
Wouldn't take "no" for an answer, you fucking bitch!"​

Jack was well-accustomed to the nightlife.

He wasn't a bad man, at least as far as intentions went. But he was never the type to be comfortable around people with clean clothes and good upbringing. He was raised from dirt and lived similarly, the testament to this present in the rough scars marked around his body like the brand of a man you can't trust.

Despite the height and overall bigness of his stature, he had no trouble moving around a crowd to sit at a table next to people who were content to know only each other's names and nothing more. He lit a cigarette and let the smoke calm his nerves disturbed by the chill of the outdoors and poured himself a shot of tequila. Gulped it down. Good alcohol, good people, good music. The singer? Was quite the looker.

He leaned back against his chair. Now, scratch it off to his amicable nature or his lowkey obsession with pretty people, but Jack decided that as soon as she took a break, he was going to say hi.

The song ended with a chorus of cheers for the young artist. It would seem that she was some kind of popular. Exiting stage right her body swayed in time with some unknown beat, possibly the one of her heart. Who would ever know?

Taking her last step off the stage and rounding it Melody's eyes settled on the towering man before her and licked her lips oh so hungrily. The venue provided oh so well for Mel already. The pay was amazing, the exposure was much needed and those the place attracted were right up her alley. While there were other lookers in the particular club itself it make little to nothing to her given that she was more than happy to let it all pass her by for this one.

Given that going to the bar meant that Mel had to pass by Jack on her mini journey it made little sense than to not converse with a potential fan of hers.

"Hey. Enjoy the show?"

Their eyes met, and during the break of silence with only the chattering of the club around them, Jack grinned brilliantly at Melody and watched her with curious and hungry eyes. He sized her up and placed his empty shot glass on the table.

"Aw, you beat me to it. I was the one that was going to say hi to you." He offered a handshake. "Loved the show. Call me Jack. What do you drink, beautiful?"

"I like to take my drinks like my men. Strong and tall."

It was a cheesy line. Yea. She knows it. But, she was already pretty buzzed on more than just booze and she wanted to keep this party going as long as she possibly could. Her heart beat mimicked the sound of music the DJ was now pumping out and she wanted to dance. While her motif was closely linked to that of her last song she was just hot. On fire. And she wanted to enjoy herself.

Her gaze was just as hot and hungry as him. Her runes were all glowing in a way that made her look like a living strobe light. Some were going out in various parts of her skin while others were lighting up in almost a wave like pattern.

"Names Melody. Remember that you just might be calling it out later. Handsome Jack."

Without prompting the bartender set down two shots and slid them towards Jack and Melody. Which melody knocked back hers and winked oh so playfully to the taller man.

Jack squinted for a bit. It was all a very peculiar scene. She was like, a really, really hot glowstick with bad pick-up lines. Man, this island was something, wasn't it? Jack knocked back the offered shot and shook his head. He was ready to play. He grinned at her, bright and friendly.

"I'm a strong drink. You won't know what hit you, but it's going to be a good time." He could barely contain a chuckle. Shame him if you must, but there was a part of him that preferred solid human interaction and making friends. "So, do you work here, hotstuff? Go to SA, maybe?"
