Closed starter for @lightning-arias (Jordan)
The underground music scene was starting to die out by the time Iros showed up on the planet. Punk and Black Metal had already reached the tablets of a very young Stone stuck in his bedroom homeschooling, exposing him to band after band as well as a certain Rap-Rock group that had an infinity for playing in the parking lots of schools and home depots. Smaller bands still do this, making their names heard in skate parks and under bridges far enough away from residential areas to avoid getting the cops called on them.
It's after the show when the band members consisting of kids barely older than Iros (well, technically barely older, despite the face of a forty year old man, he's barely old enough to drink in Terran terms) are busy hitting the slopes that he really lets himself blend in. Shiny bleached and unsprayed mohawk, homemade hole ridden crop-top bearing the logo of a bug with one wing pulled off, and...jorts, he merges in with a group of others handing out questionable pills and drinks that are far too foamy to be just beer.
He has no alternative motives, he's just here to have a little fun and get over a break up with a fellow Stone he was courting just a few months ago. Choosing to go on vacation the minute he finished art school was the only way to trick his mothers into believing he wasn't going to simply stay here forever.
All the smells are blending together. His nose is very sensitive, something he's learned humans apparently don't care about with their vape clouds and bringing scented fucking candles to a memorial near the front gate of the park. But he seems determined to find the source of whatever has him briefly detracted.
"Shit, dude, my bad," his solid shoulders brush against someone a bit taller than him, making him stop just briefly to glance upwards and try to ignore the light from the glowstick bracelets around his arm. "Do I know you? You look like, super familiar."
All humans look the same to him. But he's found this to be a quick and easy ice breaker with strangers.
