After some debate Jan decided not to change out of the 'Aeon Flux' outfit. It would be far easier to make his way thru the crowd if he fitted-in wearing fetish like many of the others rather than stand-out looking overdressed in jeans and a tshirt.
Once outside his decision proved correct. Yes he was getting cat-calls and friendly gropings as he made his way along the outer most edge of the gathering but nobody made any real effort to yank him into an alleyway. Maybe it was the imposing 6ft plus stature, the Glock he had straped to his side (done more as a means to be able to carry cigarettes and a lighter) or the determined look in his yellow eyes why nobody pushed their luck with the vampire.
Still it was hard going - the wonderful feel of sun and hands on his dark-skin, the smell of excitement and sex in the air, the music calling to him.
Join the parade, join the parade, join the parade....
Took willpower and keeping Ran's face in his mind that kept him from succumbing to it all.
There was a brief scare at seeing Jack and Sands in the crowd, but they were easily avoid. Given what was going-on Jan highly doubted the pirate spotted him and even if he did probably wouldn't have said anything to the blindman.
Finally making it to Ran's, Jan sighed with relief. The temptation almost got him but now safetly inside the warehouse the parade's power had greatly lessened. Just in case it was a lull in the circus's magic, he hurried-up the stairs to her apartment at the very top.

Knocked at the door, "Ran??!!"
