⚔️ What Happens at Coachella // Closed Starter for @devilsdecade ‘s Wyatt ⚔️
If he was was being quite honest with himself- and he tended not to be for the sake ignoring the hellish reality of his life- Lucas wasn’t all that sure why he let his friends drag him along like this. To his knowledge, Coachella was some type of big gathering. Some huge outdoor party. And don’t get him wrong, when he wasn’t busy killing people for money, Lucas could rave with the best of them. Missing out on the better portion of his youth had only made him a wilder adult in his few and far between moments of downtime. It became a habit to go crazy whenever he could. And after all, he did not become the owner of a majorly successful nightclub by sitting in the sidelines and doing nothing. Perhaps it was because he wasn’t familiar with the type of security and so was worried about being recognized (he’d made sure to cover up some of his tattoos to limit the risk but there was never any guarantee), or the fact that they were out in open, exposed in a sense. An odd sense of vulnerability.
He hadn’t intended to stay long, but unfortunately, he wasn’t the driver on this little endeavor either. All he could do was wait for the other two fools he’d come with to tire themselves or make a slip that required a quick getaway. He slipped away from them just for a moment, heading to one of the quieted gated areas where security didn’t seem as tight. He figured if he was here to supposedly let loose for a bit, he might as well have a drink. A few clusters of people around in huddles trading... baggies, or pill cases or the like caught his attention. Ah. He understood then. Like him, it seemed others were looking for a more discrete area, but unlike him, they weren’t looking for legal fun. Between the beer bottle he was nursing the fact that he was already in over his head and not planning on leaving any time soon— they had arrived early intending to enjoy the festival all day long and into the night— he might as well find something to pick him up. He fished the old bubble gum case out of his inner jacket pocket, shaking out two vaguely Tic-Tac shaped doses of molly onto his palm and throwing them back with the last of his beer before tucking the case back away and heading back into the crowd.
Was this a mistake? Most likely. The LSD didn’t take long to kick in, his pupils dilating and suddenly finding the sunlight too hard. He went to tug his sunglasses from his shirt collar and put them on, only to realize he’d lost them at some point. Well shit... The music suddenly seemed so much louder, thought it was still drowned out by the incessant chatter of the crowd around him. He could have listened in on any conversation he wanted to, or at least he felt like it. Yet even still, he couldn’t seem to recognize the voices of either of his friends in crowd around him, no matter how much he listened. And he definitely wasn’t about to call out for them. He could barely hear himself think over all the noise, how would they hear him? He moved too quickly, pushing past a group of people before suddenly being jolted. He managed to catch himself in time to avoid falling, but not before bumping rather hard into someone else. Immediately, he back up and slightly raised his hands in apology. The deep smoky tones of his voice laced with a thick Polish would have been difficult to understand if he didnt have such a naturally articulate voice and he wasn’t so good at projecting it.
“My apologies, please excuse me.”
