Most of Lambastia's city life can be found along the southeastern coast of Norrega, where settlers feel they are safe from Nori Volcano at the northern tip of the region. Warm gulf winds ensure this region is the most habitable on the continent, though travelers are warned of the disappearances of many venturing too close to the Whisper Forest. Species from all over are housed at the Evelon Preservation Zoo.

What Happens in Norrega, Stays In Norrega [L, S]

The annual porn expo was both a good time and a pain in his ass (almost literally if he let what seemed like half the men there have their way). He'd been coming to this shindig since he was eighteen and started working at Jade, though this was the first year he'd been asked to put on an opening performance. It seemed Madame's ploy to recruit dancers from the Expo and in turn help those girls get a leg (among other things) up in the porn industry was working. Granted, he'd demanded a raise since he'd been requested to wear heels and a god awful BDSM outfit that left nothing to the imagination. As if people needed more more enticement to proposition him. He knew he was attractive, hell downright sexy wouldn't even be pushing it. But he was here for work. Something the guy yammering away at him didn't seem to get.

"So, has anyone ever said you have the most delicious accent?" He winked, "I'd like to hear more-" Diego turned to look at him, causing the man to pause in surprise. Diego had been trying to politely ignore the guy for over ten minutes, but this was just ridiculous. Yes, he had a slight accent; most Latin folks who spoke Spanish as their first language did. Big fucking deal. "Look, I'm flattered but if that's supposed to be a pickup line, you should know I've used better today."

The guy froze, his cheeks reddening in embarrassment before he turned sharply away. He was obviously offended and leaving, but not fast enough for Diego. Letting his 'delicious accent' become more prominent, he made another stab at the guy's ego, "You know, you should get yourself a margarita to go with that salt, honey." The guy snatched his jacket, nearly toppling the stool over, "Bitch." He growled. Diego grinned and winked his golden right eye at him, "Yeah, but not yours." before blowing him a goodbye kiss. Once he was gone, Diego turned back to his drink with a low chuckle.

The first time he had noticed the feeling was during the opening performance. It had been a while since he'd had a proper meal, what with this being his first real chance to get his foot in the door and start meeting people in the industry, which made something like that pretty easy to notice when you're famished. A few one night stands here and there, but Mailia had made him promise he'd only seek out meals when he couldn't stand the hunger any longer. Hopefully things would go well at the expo and before long he wouldn't have to worry about that any longer.

It was a strange feeling though, to be absorbing energy without the intent to do so. In particular, what he was used to was the aura of energy given off by living beings during sexual encounters, an energy that he could only sum up as pleasure. He supposed perhaps a performance could also bring pleasure in a form, though it was still a different sort of pleasure, and he didn't seem to have to be in physical contact with anyone to be absorbing this energy. Regardless, it didn't have an offensive taste, so he wasn't going to run out on a free meal when it was given to him.

It'd taken him some time after the performance to actually figure out just where the dancer had gone off to, hoping that he didn't come off the wrong way to anyone he asked about him. He did't swing that way, he just wanted to get to know exactly who, or rather what, this person was. They obviously weren't just a human, and perhaps they would make for a good friend to have if he fell on any rough times in the industry. His eyes managed to land on just the right place of the bar just in time to catch the final bits of Diego's interaction with the now seemingly upset man, watching as he walked away.

Hale made sure to give him a bit of space, leaving a bar stool open between the two of them as he sat down. A well tanned hand tapped down on the bar to grab the bartender's attention before he said, "Margarita on the rocks, extra lime." Admittedly, in part, it was on purpose to see if it was draw the other man's attention at all. The other part was just that margaritas tended to be fairly low cost in terms of alcoholic beverages, and Maya hadn't been willing to give him a whole lot of money to blow over the course of the expo.

Diego was used to folks trying to seem nonchalant about approaching him; he was talent acquisition and nobody wanted to come on too strong or leave the impression they were desperate. He flicked his eyes in the direction of the newcomer as he settled on the stool and hailed the bartender. It was rare for a man to approach him for a position as a dancer, so he doubted that was what this one was after. Hopefully not another proposition for a 'private business meeting'. Regardless what the reason was, Diego was confident it wouldn't take long to find out so he'd wait. Besides, it wasn't a for sure thing the guy was even there for him.

While he was uncertain regarding the man's intentions, Diego was almost positive he'd heard the interaction with the other man based on his drink choice. Glancing sideways again, he tilted his head in a rueful shrug as a greeting when he thought their eyes met. "'Hola." A chill of apprehension ran down his spine when he caught the other man's scent. He couldn't tell what the other man was, if he was dangerous or not, but he definitely wasn't human.

The margarita's glass clacked against the bar in front of him, a large lime wedge attached to the rim. Before touching the glass itself, Hale scooped up the lime, dragging it across a bit of the rim to gather up a bit of the salt before bringing it to his lips and chomping down. Not quite as tart as a lemon, but just tart enough, and quite delicious with the addition of the flaky salt. He placed it back down on the bar once he was done, the peel touching the counter so as not to leak any remaining juices out on the wood.

He had appeared to catch the performer's attention as planned, though he didn't say a whole lot. That was fine though, he wasn't expecting to get a quick in on anything, he was just curious. Curious about just what this man was, as he'd never come across someone that radiated energy so generously. "Nice turn down," he started out before taking a quick sip of the drink he'd ordered. "I'd say that was a better show than at the opening ceremony, though I can see why you'd have guys like him fawning all over you."

While Hale wasn't interested in men, he could at least recognize what others found appealing as well as the talents others possessed. The performance wouldn't have gone over so well if there weren't plenty that were interested in it, regardless of gender or preferences.

The tips of Diego's ears reddened in embarassment and he shrugged again. So the guy had heard him, but was he there to see him specifically or just there for a drink? "Uh, Gracias. I think?" He quirked a brow at the other man, wondering if his dancing had just been insulted. "Personally I wish theyd stop fawning while I'm working since it's hard to get rejection across while staying professional." He downed the rest of his drink and turned to face this stranger fully.

"I'm curious though why my rejection was more entertaining than the performance. Something about the dancing off, just not into guys, or not into BDSM?" He gave a twitch as if he just remembered something and extended a hand, "Sorry, where are my manners. Diego Reyes, talent acquisition for Jade."
