68: energetic

"Ohhhh man, I knew this was a great idea!" Hizashi was in full-on Present Mic mode working at a club in the middle of town. Tonight it was special: he had brought his girlfriend along to help with the venue. The manager had been thrilled. The club was crammed to capacity not only due to him being the DJ, but Cheshire showing up alongside him. She was at her impish best as her namesake, causing mischief and mayhem among the patrons in a splendid display of blacklight painted-on stripes and huge, fanged grin.

He drank only water between mixing songs and taking his headphones off occasionally to chat with someone that wanted a particular song played or an autograph. He had learned a long time ago that mics and burps did not mix. 

He was sometimes as invisible as his girl when playing music, the patrons only caring about their dates, their drinks and their dancing. He knew how to get a crowd pumped, and he used every single trick he had tonight. When he pointed and called out, they responded. When he praised his baby's performance, they cheered. It was the best gig he had performed at in a long while.

"Awwwright!" 

Damn, this was fun.
