out from the upstairs behind Domnus who was actually getting used to the pounding of his ear drums from the past couple of nights, he was stood on the threshold wearing his white shirt and dark nervy trousers and actually looking as though he fitted in finally, in normal clothes; but that didn't actually mean that he felt as though he fitted in. There were several dim lights set above on the ceiling just bright enough to see in front of you so that you wouldn't fall up the steps, though that was still possible of course if you've had a few too many to drink, or as he had learnt depending on what sort of footwear the women were wearing.
There were three dozen people queuing up waiting to be let inside, but Domnus weren't letting many in because no one had come out in a while and of course there are restrictions to how many are actually allowed inside at any one time.
"Come on man, don't be like that, we're brothers," The man said at the front of the queue with his arm around his girl friend, she had on a low cut neck short dress and was shaking slightly because it was actually quite cold.
Domnus didn't really think it was something that she should have been wearing to go clubbing in but something for afterwards perhaps, considering it was more like lingerie than a dress, but who was he to judge the fashion of this time, now if Luxis was with him she would have been able to tell him; he did miss her.
"I am not your brother," Domnus told him calmly. "I'm just waiting to confirm that I can let more inside, if you'll just wait quietly."
"Quietly? This is a club isn't it?" The man asked him.
"Indeed it is," Domnus answered. "It won't be long,"
"He talks funny...I don't think he's from around here," The woman tried to whisper to her boy friend, but it was still loud enough so that she was heard by others.
Domnus checked the computer screen on the side bar that was set around the wall, the message that he had been waiting for flashed up onto the screen ‘ADMIT HALF A DOZEN!’.
"Right then you can come inside now," Domnus told them stepping aside and holding out his hand as the man handed over his entrance fee, Domnus quickly scanned it making sure that it was all there and to see if it was real considering the owners had informed him that a lot of fake notes have been circulating; when he was completely satisfied he let them upstairs before he quickly turned back to the next couple. "Thank you,"
They handed him the right money and then the next couple came up the steps but they were dressed quite oddly compared to everyone else he had seen tonight, even though to him everyone was dressed oddly except perhaps really these two. The man had a blue cloak which was edged with torques, brown trousers with a white slightly ruffled shirt; the woman had a full length cream coat, hooded, with green pin striped trousers and a two tone green tunic.
"I've been thinking about getting a new cloak, but I'm new to the area hence the job here; I was wondering if there was anywhere around here that I'd be able to get one?" Domnus asked, hoping against hope that they knew what he was talking about because the people behind them just looked at him as though he was mad.
"Really, what school did you go to then?" The guy asked him seemingly interested.
"Burnaby Advanced," Domnus answered without thinking, and then hoping that he hadn't blown it; but it seemed as though he had in fact impressed them both, the man stepped nearer to him so that they wouldn't be over heard.
"Well considering that you went there you must be good, though I'm a little surprised that you don't know," the man said.
"I didn't grow up here, but in the magical world and I ran out of money while I was visiting," Domnus told them trying to sound somewhat humble and grateful for any help that they could give him.
"I know what you mean, everything here is so expensive isn't?" the woman agreed. "How am I
