Ziggy Stardust Nexus Album Release Party

[ziggyplayedguitar]

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.]

"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.

"I still wish you could come with me." How could he not?

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."

[somekindofspaceuncle]

"From what you've told me of your world, a sudden half-Earth half-alien technology big spaceship might be a bit too much of a sensation even for your kind of tour."

"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."

[ziggyplayedguitar]

"That's not what I meant necessarily." Ziggy sighs and just holds on the Hiroki like he might disappear.

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."

[somekindofspaceuncle]

"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.

"I can introduce you." That gets a little wave of excitement. He wants Hiroki in all parts of his life and he will rarely have a chance to introduce him to anyone else he knows.

"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."
