Chika wasn't particularly new to Hatsu Itonami, though that wasn't to say she was well acquainted with the city, but the odds of finding the Allure of Darkness was pretty low. Not to mention the odds of finding her way back home were even lower.
She swiveled on her bar stool and pondered it for a minute, yeah, pretty low... Well, it wasn't like she needed to be anywhere she could sit here, relax, have a few drinks, maybe dance.
Actually, reverse the priorities. Dancing would come first, then the drinks and relaxing. Yes, that made MUCH more sense. She tapped her foot to the beat of the song, scowling as the band missed note after note. A wide grin made its way onto her face as an idea formed. She weaved her way backstage as they took a break.
There was a slight scuffle between the drummer and a security guard coming to Chika's 'aid' and the drums were hers to command. After all, what self respecting band would leave halfway through their performance when there was a perfectly capable drummer willing to fill in?
Exactly.
She took her place behind the drums and waited for the next song. Twirling the sticks in anticipation.

The Allure wasn't the best place Matsuda would have wanted to go to, but he was extremely thirsty and it was the closest place to where he was that offered drinks.
He walked in, trying not to bring much attention to himself. He sat at the bar and looked for the bartender. "Just some water, please?" he asked politely. The bartender nodded and got his drink, placing it beside him. "Thanks." the blond said before the bartender walked off.
Taking a sip of the liquid, the Ookami turned to see what band was playing. Strange, there was a girl up on drums he hadn't seen up there before. He chuckled lightly before taking another drink. Matsuda thought he spotted an orange bracelet on the girl's wrist. He shrugged off the small detail and waited for the band to begin playing again.

Chika grinned at the next song, it was by an old band that she was pretty familiar with. She began pounding on the drums after the first few notes, singing along quietly.
"Let me know that I've done wrong When I've known this all along I go around a time or two Just to waste my time with you.
Tell me all that you've thrown away Find out games you don't wanna play You are the only one that needs to know.
I'll keep you my dirty little secret Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret My dirty little secret Who has to know?
When we live such fragile lives It's the best way we survive. I go around a time or two Just to waste my time with you.
Tell me all that you've thrown away Find out games you don't wanna play You are the only one that needs to know.
I'll keep you my dirty little secret Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret. My dirty little secret.
Who has to know? The way she feels inside Those thoughts I can't deny These sleeping thoughts won't lie And now I try to lie It's eating me apart Trace this life back
I'll keep you my dirty little secret Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
I'll keep you my dirty little secret Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret My dirty little secret Dirty little secret Dirty little secret
Who has to know? Who has to know?"
As the song wound down, the other drummer had come to, and tugged her offstage, demanding his spot back. She relinquished it grudgingly and made her way back to the bar. At least she had given people's ears at least a little break.
She noticed a person sitting next to her and turned to him. "Enjoy the show?" She asked cheerily.

Matsuda listened to the song silently, but laughed again at the sight of the girl on the drums being tugged offstage. When she walked over and sat beside him, he grinned warmly at the question.
"Sure did." he said. "You're pretty good, better than what they normally play around here." he chuckled, scratching his head. "Though I'm not really one to talk..."
Extending his arm out to the girl, he decided to introduce himself. "I'm Matsuda Megumi. What might your name be?"

Chika hopped off the stool, gave a bow and hopped back on the cushioned seat. "Chika Tendoken at your service!" She shook his hand with a firm grip, people could tell your character from how you shook hands, or so she had heard. She released his hand and sipped her Pepsi.
"So what brings you here Matsu?" She asked, shortening his name from the full thing. It must have been a mouthful for his teachers. "You don't really strike me as the type to go clubbing." She grinned.

Matsuda shrugged. "You're right, I don't come here often." he laughed. "Of course, I'm only here for some water." he held up the glass. "See?"

Chika peered at the glass. "What is this stuff?" She joked, poking the glass where little water drops were forming. "It seems like a strange form of liquid refreshment..." A grin lit up her face and she took a drink of her Pepsi.
"Drink soda! Man up!" She pounded her chest and laughed, trying to sound commanding and failing miserably.

The blond laughed at Chika's words. "Alright, alright." he said. He turned around to order another drink. "Dr. Pepper, please?" a few moments later he was handed a glass of the requested soda. He turned back to Chika. "Happy?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Chika smiled. "Not until the sugar kicks in and you get out on the dance floor," She held up a finger. "but we'll have to take baby steps. If you had to be prodded to drink soda, then we have a ways to go yet."
She drained the rest of her Pepsi and started again. "For now, howsabout we talk?"

Matsuda nodded, still smiling slightly. "The dancing I'm not so sure about, but talking's always nice."
Taking a sip of the soda, he turned back to the girl. "So what persuaded you to go up on the drums?" he asked her, setting the drink down beside him.

She blinked and looked at him as if he had sprouted a second head. "You heard how they were playing, didn't you?" She shuddered, "I couldn't just sit here and do nothing while people's ears were being tortured!" Well, that, and she liked being onstage and entertaining by doing what she loved.

He grinned, looking at where the band was. "I see." he brought his attention back to her. "So I'm guessing you like music then?" it was an obvious question, but he was trying to make conversation. Matsuda laughed to himself a little once again. He often said things like he was completely worthless and unable to do anything useful, and he honestly believed, it. Still, he'd like to just get his hands on an instrument of some kind at least once in his life. Maybe it'd be fun?

Chikako swung her legs on the stool, "Love it! My brothers do too, and my little sister." She grinned. They weren't related by blood, but the Kings were her family. She grinned up at Matsuda, "DO you play an instrument?" She asked, curious.

"So I see." the blond said thoughtfully. He smiled lazily. "Nope, afraid I might brake one if I touch it." he laughed. "I wasn't really designed to do much, just to walk around and talk to people, I guess. Not very exciting, is it?"

The Tora tapped her chin in thought. "Hmm... that sounds like a toy robot I had when I was little, it'd walk around and make sounds but didn't do much else." She grinned. "I think it was actually one of my favorites really." She decided to try another topic. "You got any brothers or sisters?"
