Chapter Thirteen: The Hallucigenous Substance

In Planet rue Dominard, just in the heart of the City Centers where most of the urban life are happening, there is what is known as the Side Strip, which is mainly a chain of bars notorious for its party scene and the unique cocktails and hard drinks that it can serve all night long. Those who would like to have a good time frequent the area, as well as the many who deal with the trade of all kinds of illegal substances.

One of the most common of these party drugs are called Hallucigenous Substances, which is white and powdery in form, a narcotic known to have a quick and lasting effect that enhances the sensation of sexual pleasure by stimulating that part of the brain responsible for romantic fantasies. It is reportedly abused in many ways, and it makes a long time, chronic user to lose the sight of reality, among the many noted adverse effects of being addicted to the substance.

Because of this, the Space Police and Home Authority have implimented strict protocols for all partygoers in the area, mainly equipments passing through in entrance and exit points dealing with automatic detection, optical sensors, and robotic apprehension. In the past, those who have the audacity to breach the security measures sometimes get away with it, but it is virtually impossible to attempt to block all the sensors installed in all the concealed places at this point in time.

But he did it. He managed to breach everything and pass through the entrance of the Side Strip safely, with all the Hallucigenous powder he could carry in his pockets. Immediately, he scanned the area in order to pick the right establishment to enter, and he chose the most fancy one. He is ready to have fun, and do some business on the side. This night is going to be memorable.

He flopped his wings to make a dramatic effect, and soon enough, all the eyes are beginning to stare at his beautiful face, his athletic built, and his commanding presence. He knew in an instant that he picked the right place because those who are present in the bar are all the rich ones who could afford some packet of erotic substances in order to have a good time.

"Hi, handsome," said a well-dressed female humanoid who was staring at him since he walked through the bar. "Would you like some company at the patron area?"

"My name is Lucifer," the fallen angel said, his perfect voice was teasing. "I am from the world of Fantasy. You may want to ..."

"I am not like them," the humanoid interrupted him. "I don't mind at all. My name is Grace Greenwich, by the way. Nice to meet you, Lucifer."

Lucifer smiled wanly. "Grace? What a coincidence. You have a lovely name."

"And you, sir, are very handsome," Grace said, obviously initiating the first move. "What brings you here? Are you with somebody?"

"No. I am alone. I am actually here for business." His demeanor was tantalizing.

The fallen angel seemed to hit the right chord. Grace has become more and more interested. "Business? Well, maybe I can help you. Please join me at the patron area."
