[SEEKER OF THE CITY] The FEVER? You recall hearing that before; It's supposedly a mental state that M-Corpers can willingly induce in themselves.
[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] It is an anomalous phenomena that can be induced with the right series of melodies, instrumentals, and frequencies. It offers a euphoria far, far better than sex. N-not that you would know.
The crowd listening to the music is completely focused on the music they're listening to. Bodies gyrating, arms and legs swinging in every direction without care of who they hit. Complete and total unity under one goal: TO BOOGIE. TO BE ONE WITH THE CROWD.
You can barely make out Ashley, Quentin, Dasha and Wendy in the crowd. In comparison to the others, their dancing is VERY tame to how violent the rest of them are acting. It's almost quaint.
"Never really been much of a FEVER fan myself. I dunno. It just feels weird to turn my brain off now. Uh, oh, yeah. Three beers for us. I'll pay."
"Comin' right up, big boy."
Soon, three glasses of watered down beer are slid over to you and your two pals.
"I can almost envy it. I don't really have much time to relax these days. I probably would've shot myself if I said this a month ago but..."
"You wanna boogie?" Lex can't decide whether to laugh at or with Alexis. "Damn. I didn't think you had it in you."
"Silence. I think it would be fun."
One of the entranced punks slowly stumbles towards the barricade between you and the pit. He glances up at your trio, seemingly snapped out of his trance for the briefest of moments. "...yeah, bro. It's all one symphony. Where we can just say FUCK THE WORLD, we don't NEED anything. WE don't need those stupid ALPHABET COMPANIES besides M-CORP, BRO. <span class="mu-b">UNDER M-CORP, all of us can be who we TRULY ARE! ANIMALS WHO WANT TO GROOVE, BABY![/b:lit]"
Soon, he falls back into the FEVER and disappears into the crowd.
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] You now remember a bit more about M-COMPANY. They seem really intensely focused on the MIND and how MUSIC impacts it. To create a world where all is solved through song.
[UNSTABLE] It's a stupid, silly way of seeing the world. It's pathetic even.
[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] Yet, they're a powerful company for a reason. All of that emotion and energy they produce through the FEVER...
You turn back to Alexis and Lex. You easily gulp down the beer you were given in one go. "So. It's funny how no matter how much we see, no matter how much we do, it all goes back to this. It's cute in a way."
"Would you want it any other way? I prefer this over boring HR meetings."
"C'mon, Nicky. You've been with us long enough to know one simple fact. We're here to have fun. With you."
You can't help but to smile at that. It's hard to remember sometimes that your allies are your friends, your confidants. People who would be willing to die for you.
You notice Alexis glancing down at the family heirloom she was given. For some reason you sense she's more focused than before.
>+1 MAX RESTRAINT TO ALEXIS!</span>
