Hammerhead has posed:
Balor's Domain was a biker bar located in a less-than ideal neighborhood in The Bronx. But, the bikers who ran the place offered you good money, so you of course, took it. You were just finishing up your final song and the biker's were a surprisngly good audience. Though, you couldn't help but notice that several of them had a mtaching MC logo on their vests that showed off a wailing woman in robes, perhaps hinting they were members of a bigger gang?
    
     As part of your payment, the bikers surprisngly gave you free drinks at the bar, as long as you stayed under $500. The bar, which smelled of cigars smoke and booze, had a medium-szied bar with a elderly man behind the bar making drinks. The bar itself was near the wooden platform with a microphoine they called a stage, far from the large ones in certain mightclubs in better parts of the city. There is only one other person sitting at the stools near the bar. He is wearing a blue pin-stripped suit and a blue fedora. He is smooking what looks like a cigar while ocassionly taking sips out of a mug of beer.

Nick typically would not be here but a booking is a booking and he's found out on tours that people don't always act the way of the stereotype associated with them. With it still being a bar, it was indeed surprising that nothing got thrown on the stage for either of the sets but Nick wasn't about to draw attention to that. The free drinks was an unexpected surprise for the last minute booking and he wasn't one to turn down free drinks (or food for that matter). So approach the bar he did. Unlike the man in a suit, Nick's attire was much more dressed down. While the performer's hair stands wild, the attire was kept simple. Jeans and a black tee shirt. The length of the sleeve exposes a long, old scar, the positioning indicating it to be of the defensive variety. He gives a nod of greeting to the man of similar height before turning to the barkeep, not giving much attention to the unque head shape. Honestly he's seen far weirder things in his life. "Guinness, please." He's not greedy. Keeps it simple.

Hammerhead has posed:
The Man grunts in acknolegement at Nick and continues to focus on his drink. As Nick gets his Guiness, Hammerhead turns to him and says in a gravley voice," So, yer da guy playin da music tonight eh? What's yer name?"

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
The musician slides onto one of the barstools before leaning forward slightly, forearm resting upon the bartop. "Nick Drago," He answers, "Yours?"

Hammerhead has posed:
Hammerhead grunts and says to Nick," Da name's Hammherhead kid, pleasure to meet ya." He then pauses for a minute and says to you," Drago, dat name sounds very familiar. Have i met ya before?"

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Nick gives Hammerhead a second look, growing quiet as he considers. "I don't think we've met before. I may be bad with names, but I'm sure I'd remember seeing you. Maybe you've seen me on TV, a promotional poster, or in the tabloids?" He considers the man before him. "I doubt its from the movie."

Hammerhead has posed:
Hammehead rubs his chin and nods, obviously thinking long and hard about it. Suddenly, he snaps his finger and says to Nick," Wait, i think i know where i heard ya name. Ya know Savio Carmine. Da guy used to be one of my main drug suppliers. He used to talk about ya alot."

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Guinness fully settled and placed before Nick, it goes ignored now as the pale blue of the musician's eyes fixate upon Hammerhead in surprise. "Sa-" He pauses, growing quiet as his brain starts to freeze up on the new information. "Ah- Y-" He blinks, shaking his head, "N- That can't be him."

Hammerhead has posed:
Hammerhead raises an eyebrow at Nick's surprised reaction and stuttering. He takes a puff of his cigar and say idlely," Are ya sure ya don't know da guy? He talked alot about someone with yer last name.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Blink. Blink. There is more silence as Nick's brain essentially reboots, processing everything being said. Eventually, a response forms. He glances away, looking to the beer. "I do have a father named Savio. But I haven't seen him since I was three so I can honestly say, no. I don't know that guy." He pauses to take a much needed sip of the beer, setting the glass down half empty as the 'sip' seemed much longer than intended, "Nor do I wish to."

Hammerhead has posed:
Hammerhead shrugs and continues to smoke his cigar, wasn't his business what kind of drama this kid was carrying in his life. He then turns to him and says," So kid, why choose dis place of all palces to do a gig. I mean, didn't ya have anywhere betta ta go?"

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Nick relaxes a little. Finally. An EASY question for Nick. "Music's music no matter where you play it." Nick replies, giving a shrug, "Bikers tend to act better than college kids, Money's good. So why not?" Tension removed a little, Nick turns his attention back to the beer. The glass lifts once more as the musician finishes off his drink with just one more 'sip'. As he sets the glass down, he shakes his head as the bartender looks to him inquisitvely. It seems the bikers won't have much to pay in terms of a tab as he looks apologetically to Hammerhead. "I probably should go. Long walk back. " He states, sliding off of the stool, glancing around at the establishment, "Also for a bar, seems like a nice place."
