Ziggy Stardust Nexus Album Release Party
Why not in the Nexus had started all of this and now skekSa's bar had glitter and space themed drinks for the night, karaoke and a band playing for the release of a new album. Ziggy had decided this was the best course since so much of his family and friends couldn't go into his world to be there for his own party in his own world.
Of course, as with any good party this one was open to any who had stumbled into it and there were those directly invited as well. And flashy posters too. He was going through the ends of a sound check with the band when the bar opened.
There was a merch table, with the usual swag and new album to buy on CD and Vinyl, where they would be signing autographs and doing the whole meet and greet thing. Why not have fans in more than one universe? It had been a trip explaining this all to Mick. Weird and Gilly before dragging them through the portal. Ziggy still imagined there was going to be some crazy moments later in the night. They didn't even know he was an alien, or half alien anywway. All of this was going to blow their minds for sure.
After the show they had plans to spend the night just hanging out with drinking, karaoke, a DJ, and the usual bar fare. Ziggy had left Sa to the food and drink though he had put in a few requests for food his own species could eat.
Ziggy fussed with everything before heading backstage to drink and get dressed. About an hour after the bar opened they came out on stage and played through the whole album front to back plus a few from the previous.
[OOC: Feel free to mingle, karaoke, DJ, dancing, drinking, etc. Will post the band meet and greet below at the swag table as a top level. Any questions feel free to DM me here or on Discord.]

"We are not halves." Ziggy tells Hiroki with equal seriousness. "We are wholes made better by each other."
Ziggy laughs at the playful threat. "It won't help you. Dad helped me get it made."
Ziggy had thought a lot about it since he got the ring. About what would be a good symbol. He held out his hand with a double ringed necklace and then explains.
"The big ring is made from granite from Japan and the blue diamond is supposed to represent hope. The small ring is made from the rock near where my mother was born on Anthea and the stone is one from Anthea that was used in jewlery." The stone from Anthea has much the same clarity of a diamond but it is fiery red-orange. "Antheans don't have traditions like this but if they did I think this would have a lot of meaning to them."
yes there are Entities deep within him, always were, but Ziggy'd have to look even deeper into
"Yeah, I have a photographic memory. I haven't realised at first. I mean, I felt... but I didn't notice?"
He shrugs.
"Same as with many things in my life."
"Ziggy... lately, I've been feeling... there might be some Dark Entities within me. No, I'm serious. Somewhere deep inside my spirit where I haven't looked into, yet, even."
"Maybe I'm wrong. It's just a feeling I have. I'm probably wrong. And paranoid. If there are any, why'd they sit there quietly and do nothing, ever? But if there really are. If I learnt, maybe I'd be able to spy on Honerva?"
"Although. Maybe it's best not to try."
"So. Just warning you. In case any of them tries to do anything. I'm surely simply just paranoid. But I worry. Sometimes. I think that's why I still wasn't sure I'm worthy of you. I had a feeling. Nevermind."
2/2 ok now it's ready
He's startled a bit himself.
Saying he's happy. Outloud. That's rare for him. But it's true right now despite everything and because of everything.
And then, the necklace. Hiroki gingerly takes it while listening to Ziggy's explanation.
That's amazing.
He's not sure what to say, so he just, after listening to Ziggy's explanation, puts the necklace on.
He adores everything that's gone into it. Ziggy... can surely feel that.
"You've given it a lot thought," he finally says, still not knowing what to say, especially after the emotional whirlwind of emotions that was this wonderful concert. "You always do. I cherish you so much... I'm glad-"
He trails off. He's so happy, he's not sure he can find words to express it.
Apparently one can be slightly anxious and utterly completely happy at the same time. It's true. He caresses Ziggy's cheek now, because it's something he's thought of doing, but rarely has really done, before.
"I'm glad you love me," he finally says. "the way you do. It's... awesome, Ziggy! Thank you."
He's glowing.
And yes, that's the gist of what he's feeling. Whew, he's managed to finally say it. Thanks to Ziggy's songs, too. But it's all doubly true.
"I'll try and make sure I never hurt you the way I once did. That's why I'm telling you about things, even things I'm not yet sure of. I'll make sure I never hurt you - if I can. That's my promise to you, Ziggy. I know it's not much, but that's what I can manage, for now. I'll get better."
no subject
Whn Hiroki leaves the subject Ziggy does too. After all this is party and not the time for anything that heavy. "I'm happy too. I've always liked your smile."
Ziggy is ecstatic to see the way the necklace is accepted. "I know what the lion I wear means to you. I wanted something that was just as important to me."
Ziggy leans into the touch and covers the hand with his own. His other hand coming over the pendant hanging near Hiroki's heart.
"You never hurt me because I know you didn't want to die." That's the truth from the half alien's perspective. "You're enough. You've always been enough as the person you are. You don't need anything else except maybe some time with your favorite singer in private at home."
Ziggy's suddenly flirting because he can't help himself.
1/2
The anxiety goes away instantly. Sometimes the clone can be such a child.
2/2
"You're... you're such a whirlwind of truth and feeling and care. Did you know? I still barely know."
He's tearing up a little. He's touched. Moved. Also, tears of happening.
Hiroki's now glowing even brighter. It's a good thing right now. Ziggy can probably feel that Hiroki's healing himself, deep inside.
Then...
Hiroki gives Ziggy bedroom eyes.
"Yes. I might need to spend next month glued to my future's wife side. But my future wife... he would have to be as madly in love as I am. Would have to, for a varga or five, forget there's anything but love. Ziggy---"
Ahem.
He winks.
"I'll take her, my future wife, to bed right now. If she or he is fine with that. Right. Now."
no subject
He was never quite sure if they meant emotions or his behavior, probably both. Ziggy grins at all the glowing now that he knows what it means.
"I like when you get glued to me." Ziggy wraps his arms around Hiroki and pulls him close. "I should stay at my party a little longer before I run off to have a private celebration with my paladin." Ziggy leans closer and whispers. "You're not sleeping tonight."
no subject
"It is."
"No, my Ziggy, neither of us is sleeping tonight. Or the night after this. Or after. Or - wait, when are you going on a tour?"
And Hiroki'd probably sprout wings or something, but he doesn't, as deep inside he'd be just too embarassed, unconsciously, to do so, with all the crowd around. So he doesn't.
But he embraces Ziggy and kisses him wherever. Really wherever. His cheeks, his neck, his hands, whatever.
Suddenly, he stops. He seems - and feels - momentarily most unsettled.
"Ziggy, did you hear that? What was it? Hmm. Must've been my imagination."
Hiroki shakes his head.
"Or, I know. Probably just ringing in my ears. After a concert, that's only natural!"
He smiles again and gets right back to kissing Ziggy.
no subject
Ziggy freezes when he feels Hiroki's emotions. "Is everything alright?"
He's worried but doesn't force the issue. Instead he returns the kiss and pulls him closer.
no subject
"I'm sure it'll be great. I'm happy for you. And I'll welcome you home after, my Princess."
Is everything alright? Hmmm.
"Maybe something happened? Elsewhere. Or I'm just confused. It's nothing to worry about, I guess. I'll check later. Okay, Love? Now, it's not the time. I think."
He smiles.
And gets pulled closer. Yeah! He wants to playfully push Ziggy and roll with him on the ground, right now. why not, right? He's just so overjoyed right now.
It must be all the concert feelings. Well, maybe not just that.
"So, how about it?" he asks, outloud, sure that Ziggy can hear what Hiroki wants.
He laughs happily, freely, content, from the bottom of his heart.
"Thanks for inviting me to your concert, Ziggy. You've seduced me yet again, and how! Oh. Can I call you my wife? Husband? I don't know?"
He means the 'thank you', he does, truly, and he means much more than that, as well.
"I love you. And I love your music, Ziggy. And I love your feelings. And-"
Yeah, he's sort of on a high, still. But it's all true.
"And I want you to love me forever, Ziggy. I guess in the morning I'll pretend I didn't say that, but, yeah!"
He kisses the palm of Ziggy's hand now.
no subject
He tries not to worry but those feelings help and Ziggy sighs, hands drifting over Hiroki's back. "I don't mind either wife or husband or partner."
Ziggy leans in, snuggling against his chest. "Why pretend? I will love you forever, maybe literally since I could live for thousands of years."
That kiss though, Ziggy has to grab on to Hiroki as his knees go weak. His breath going short and shallow. "I'm going to drag you behind the stacks if you... oh if you keep doing that."
no subject
"I'll love you forever, too, as long as I can," Hiroki says softly.
Hiroki'll gladly pull Ziggy even closer, "When you're done with everything here, definitely drag me behind the stacks. I can't wait. Your music's done things to me, and I want to share all that with you, love."
no subject
However, his smile comes back and with it all the playfulness. "It's my party. I could drag you back there now and no one can say anything about it."
no subject
"True, you can, but maybe let's be considerate to your fans and give them a bit more time with you--"
"Hey, that reminds me, I haven't met your band yet. I wanna meet them."
So maybe let's just do that and then he and Ziggy can leave, he thinks. Maybe-
Then there's that strange feeling again, and now Hiroki's quite certain-
"Honerva's left Nexus right now."
Yes, he's sure now. He doesn't have the bond with Honerva anymore, but he can still tell.
Honerva's left Nexus, at least for now, and that's - that's awesome!
He hugs Ziggy, he can't help it, he's just overjoyed right now.
"Don't ask me how I know, I'm not sure myself, but I do know. That's the feeling I had, a moment ago. Wow. So... Let's celebrate! Really, I'm so happy now, it's such a freeing feeling, I'm not sure if you can understand. But... anyway, also... I'm so glad that I feel like--- I could even kiss you here and now and not mind whether anyone's looking-"
And then, true to his word, he does just that. He might be embarassed about it later, if anybody nearby is looking, but right now, he's feeling like he can do anything. And he's promised to share, hasn't he? So he wants to share the enormous joy he's experiencing at the sudden knowledge that Ziggy and everyone are safe from the witch, at least for now.
no subject
"I'm glad she left. Maybe the angel that Lucifer sent drove her away?" Ziggy comments to the revelation that Honerva is gone.
Ziggy of course doesn't shy away from the kiss nor does he think it is something to be embarrassed of so he returns the kiss with great enthusiasm. "I love you."
