Alcohol. Stims. Music. Most of all - the music. Beats filled the air of the synthwave club, vibrations from the heavy bass causing Aurelian's heart to beat in tune. The rhythms filled his mind, controlled his breathing - and the lights. Red, Green, Blue. A veritable rainbow filled the air as lasers cut through the smoke, bodies moved in sync with the music and smoke machines periodically spat out more fog across the dance floor. What more could you ask for? The stress of life forgotten, the pleasures of the flesh at your very fingertips - sometimes you just had to get lost in the music. Aurelian had joined the corwd, the floor heavy with sweat, smoke, and the familiar smell of liquor and tobacco. It might not be the sole reason he'd come to Bespin but it sure as hell wasn't going to keep him from having a good time while he was here. Times had changed - the Cloud City having changed hands numerous times over the last decade, but that wasn't what he cared about right now. Instead he found himself numbly stumbling over to the bar, raising a hand and displaying a credit chit. "Barkeep - I'll take another Bourbon. Double, neat."
Normally Aurelian would have some secret task, some devious plot to acquire long forgotten data or steal something of value - but today? Today it was a blank slate. At least - in part. So what if he decided to indulge in the local club scene? He'd get the job done. Command knew that. It would be some time before he'd be called back to duty after his last op. Right now, all hea could manage to do was enjoy the music and lose himself for a moment or two of well deserved R&R. The drink returned, Aurelian drained it in a single gulp and replacing the small glass on the bartop before weaving his way back to the dance floor.
