Along the darkest alleyways of the neighboring city was a populous place. The entrance was filled with people who were hoping to get inside, but the big-framed bouncer kept them all out when he said they should stay out. With a hardened face and a scary scar across his eye, the bouncer made everyone obey.
From the corner came out a man in his fancy dark-tinted specs and his frame-obscuring coat. His platform shoes also made it hard to ascertain his real height. The darkness of the night also made it hard to put a finger on his features. When he walked up to the bouncer, the big man glared at him. The unknown man lowered his spectacles, and his eyes met the gaze of the bouncer.
The bouncer, for the first time tonight, broke into a grin. "Hey, it's been a while! Come in, come in! He's at the mezzanine. I think you can just walk up there if you like."
