When Billy doesn't react to Dallas tossing him the shirt, the Juneau singer shrugs, laughing, and turns back to Dustyn to head outside for a cigarette. It was bizarre to see how drugs affected different people in different ways. For Billy, it made him go from being the life and soul of the party, the true leader of the whole night, to later being the absolute wreck, emotional and shirtless in the corner, almost spaced out. For Scott, it brought him out of his shell and allowed him to be way more sociable and chatty, as well as allowing him to become high as a kite and hyperactive, just loving absolutely everything that was going on. It was kind of ironic that when they all first met, Scott was the most distant and dismissive, because with a pill inside him, he reacted more in the way Dallas did than anyone else here. Dallas enjoyed that sort of irony. And then there was Dustyn, who didn't seem to be all that fazed by the drug. He slurred his words a little more and hugged Dallas more, but other than that he seemed to be totally himself. Who knew that the one who was the smallest and probably most vulnerable of Weekend would be the one who could handle the drugs best. Dallas kinda loved the fact that all of Weekend reacted differently to the MDMA though. It was poetically magical, and a drug-induced metaphor for the band's persona almost. They were one, a unit, so close and tight, but they were also incredibly individual and all stood out as their own person, which was really cool. As they leave to go outside for a smoke, he sees Scott across the room again and waves, laughing hysterically as he is pulled into a group of yet more fantastically dressed performers. Dallas couldn't help but wonder how there were so many, and quite how there could be such a variety in the acts they performed.
When the cool air of early morning London hits his face, Dallas lets out a little sigh, walking into the open and holding his hands out to his sides, soaking up the fresh feeling of being outside. One never realises how warm it is in a club until you leave, and it's always one of the best feelings in the world, Dallas thought, to feel that breeze hit your face after having been inside for so long. Dallas opens his mouth when the cigarette is offered and waits for it to be lit, taking a long puff and coughing slightly as he exhales. He wasn't one for smoking much when he was sober. After all, it didn't have any mind altering effects, so it kind of lost bonus points that most of his other vices stacked up. For a few minutes, he listens to Dustyn sing, smiling. He really was talented, far more than Dallas could ever hope to be. "I'd join in," he mumbles, stumbling back and forth a little. "But I don't wanna show you up," Dallas laughs, clearly joking with Dustyn. He takes a puff and nods at Dustyn's question. "Yeah, man. They all seem like great guys!" he says with a smile. "I'm glad you brought me out tonight. I like your friends. I'm really glad I met them," he smiles warmly. |
