Music boomed from massive projectors, holograms danced among the neon lights, and rich people clamored in and out of clubs. Jako had not been in the entertainment district since his first years of college, but he'd missed it. It was difficult to reach the social status needed to be here, but he'd managed. His new job as a journalist for some tabloid network had proved to be pretty profitable, even though he'd had to throw aside his morals. Such was life.
He was walking by himself, since he had no friends that could afford this night out. Either way, his childhood friends all had other stuff to do, whether it was work or they were off-world. Nothing out of common here. Coruscanti were a busy people.
Jako shrugged his leather jacket a bit closer to his body as a splash of holographic water came his way, then rolled his eyes at himself. He'd actually done his make-up tonight, a pretty gloomy look among the colorful masks everyone wore. He'd put on a more extravagant outfit, since he knew he'll be out of the media eye--his black jeans even had studs on them!
Seeing a club without a very large line, he ducked inside. A mass of neon lights clashed in his vision as he stepped onto a large hall teeming with lights and lasers. Below the light show, masses of people formed a massive writhing sea of different dances.
He headed for the bar, of course.
