Isley's eyes snapped open to see the bright sun shining in his eyes. He immediately shot up into a sitting position. Where was he?! Had he randomly started sleepwalking and murdered his neughbor's poodle and... He stopped himself with a deep breath. That was impossible. His neighbors, the ones that had a dog, had a shiba inu, not a poodle. He looked around, his memory slowly coming back to him. He had fallen asleep some time previous on this bench. Funny, that. Here he was, with a large, comfortable bed and three meals a day at his home, sleeping on a bench in the middle of the city. Oh, the irony. He looked at his watch and thought.

"Yeah... I've still got time." He said to himself.

Isley strode into the door of the club, waving with a big grin on his face.

"Hellooo there!" He called brightly, and counted the people he knew in the room. He could see, of course, Mortus, Blaze, and that girl who had a complicated name that he could never remember. It always reminded him of the candle in Beauty and the Beast but he couldn't for the life of him bring it up in his mind.

He just ended up shrugging and making a beeline for Blaze. She had been a year below him throughout school, and he had seen her numerous times.

"Heya there buddy. What're ya doin, just sittin there?" He asked, bending over her to peer at her over his sunglasses.
