You can put up a good fight, work forever, dance around people in online chats day and night, but you aren't so great with actually talking. You won't let it show though.

Besides, you're already [i]slightly[/i] crushing on a troll who works for the Yakuza who also gave you a job offer. You're in too deep. All that you can do is hope for the best outcome.

In addition to that, it's not like they've been the most courteous of diners themself, "What would be the point anyway? I'm sure you'd weave between the lines of truth and falsehoods so beautifully that I wouldn't be known the wiser, but I must say, you look great while doing it~" you blep uour tongue at them for a moment, "That being said, whatcha plan on doing later?"

[color=black] You shrug. And to think, if you didn't know Tobira, you would've been more than happy to hand off this information to a drone. You're not sure how to feel about this thought. You start to move to get up to your feet. [/color] "I guess I should be going? We've already checked off the wager and some lunch so unless there's another secret wager, I'll be going." [color=black] You don't want to overstay your welcome but at the same time, you don't want to leave. Why can't choices be easy? 00:11:59

> they set their stuff away and stand up with Hansou. “Secret wagers? Not that I can think of, unless you want to start one.” They shrug, mischievous smile emerging. “It’ll be funny if we end up with another kissing one! Nyoho!” Tobi, stop tempting fate you bastard. 00:16:47

> Bold of you to assume they were sober in the first place. The tables have turned once again and your brain is now a wheel of choices. Play along, short circuit, or ask more questions? The woes of troll. For the time being you choose none of those options, instead looking for that waiter with your drink, unfortunately no deity is going to answer your call for help and you'll have to pick an answer. You din't even look back over at IG "Why? You trying to make this into a date fish?" This entire thing has been such a rollercoaster you are just watching it happen. Like a trainwreck. 00:26:10

> “It’s fine I guess. There’s probably not a lot of good ones anyway unless you make a custom one.” They shrug. “But I’m ok with coin flips.” They take out a larger token 00:30:23

> "Nnnnnope." You toy around with a roll, balancing it atop one of the sticks while the other gingerly applies pressure up top. It slowly chastity slides between rhe chopsticks to the edge before you toss it up in the air, perfectly catching it on the cross section of your wooden utensils, "Not unless you want it to be one~ I'm only asking to see if you're headed back to your cell or not." You appear to be offering the roll to them, all those theatrics just to see if they'd eat at least [i]SOMETHING[/i] while you're both still here. Aaaaand there goes that second round for them; tonight's busier than usual or maybe you just haven't been here in a while. 00:35:24

> [color=black] Here we go again.[/color] "Ooookay! So. Same rules as last time? Tails means we skip it, Heads means we go through with the wager and another coin flip to decide who goes through with it... And uh." [color=black] You feel like such a wriggler for even suggesting this. It's stupid. Under any other context it'd make sense, so you should say it already, right?[/color] "Maybe we should up the stakes a little? No cheek kisses?- Oh! Uh. Maybe with another coin flip?" 00:40:17

Thank gog, you return to drinking as soon as the waiter walks away. You aren't eating anything here, especially not anything offered by him.

[color=black] You hate how you keep avoiding that word. It shouldn't hold as much weight as it does and yet... Blegh. You're just being silly. 00:52:43

You partake in the roll yourself, that brings you up to 3 plates gone and 3 still to go. "I'm a race hoofbeast myaelf, but even the dunes of work I know I'll inevitably have to get back to and do in the near future, here I am! A fine meal with fine troll~ making it, all 'n all, a good evening." You don't waste much time getting started on your fried rice with steak bits, opting for your spoon this time around. "Keeping the party going while the getting's good? I much prefer that option for you." 01:06:11

Let's see... Uh. This one will be if we raise the wager's stakes to be higher." [color=black] You can feel your insides twisting around in knots. You're not sure why you put this into luck's hands. Maybe Tobira will have better chances? You extend a hand to get the coin. [/color] "Since we're switching I guess you can call it then? So... One raises the stakes the other keeps them the same." 01:08:16

> “I’ll go with heads for my end of wage raising. Tails is yours.” They place the coin into the others hand. What are the chances of two heads in a row right? Luck can’t be that petty, right? 01:15:40

If they're scared, that means this is normal, right? The thought of that silly situation helps, if only a little. All that's left to do is to escalate. And while [i]technically[/i] you could try to outsmart fate by going for a forehead kiss, it wouldn't be in the spirit of the wager. And for other reasons too. Anyways!!! You've made your bed.

> Your eyes are a literal burning magenta and cyan, bright but only shielded by your matching sunglasses. You refuse to blush again, even if the tips of your ears turn a little more gold, instead you hum short and soft. Spontaneity. That's a thought. You're already plenty spontaneous, this meal was spontaneous for one. "Okay" You look up, in thought "what if... I went back to my dorm and instead of working, I got to play video games?" Probably not what Zegma was intending but eh you have work to do and you can get more done without breaks. 03:49:14

> You let a cheerful coo in response, but it emitted from your gills rather than your mouth. That sounds more like it, in your opinion! Of course, being in tune with people means it's hard to sneak those little things by you, but to [i]almost completely[/i] negate the urge to blush, very impressive. Either way! You like the direction they're headed!.. However, you will have to interject, "Now that sounds phenomenal, but I've known you for all of hmmm.... two nights in total if you want to count the memo, and I don't think I can trust you to go back to your cave and commit to chilling. Why not try again?~" Ultimately you don't care whether it involves you or not, the challenge is fun and you want them to get a little more uncomfy- they're pretty cute that way. 03:58:08

> Whilst you were studying the blade, they were learning how to not show any emotion, that includes blushing. You sigh "Fine, your turn." You legit don't know what the fuck to do with free time and while his answer is sure to make you regret asking, it's better than tapping out. You don't normally struggle this much to stay on top of the fight, get the upperhand. Maybe you've gotten too used to interacting with idiots, or maybe it's because people don't try to read too much into you when you're hacking them or shoving their face in the dirt. All roads lead to your lack of socialization outside of work, or maybe it's because you never stop working. Broken record, find a new thought. Or maybe just stare back instead, but first you take a drink of that tonic. 04:06:46

> "Ohhhh my turn huh?" You weren't even planning on having turn. Your first thought was to say 'nah' and force them to think of something else, but really the more you look at them, the more you see that they really aren't too... hmmm... well it's like you said way earlier in your conversation 'lower energy than the baseline'. Really, the only thing you could suggest to them is, "Sleep with me." Obviously that came out wrong, but it's also said in a different diction than it would be if you'd been flirting with them, of course. You don't care how it sounded because you continue to keep this little ball rolling, maybe it'll snowball into an avalanche, maybe not. The end goal stays the same, "You-" usually you'd boop someone's nose with this minor pause, but you down want them to like... nuke this entire establishment, so, instead, you choose to sit back a little to swallow down a small spoonful of rice before speaking again "-should come back to my dorm and sleep." Spontaneous doesn't necessarily have to negate ANY possibility of comfort. 04:25:20

> More hues of yellow jump in before the clarification. You couldn't possibly have covered that up so you just hope it wasn't noticeable. You stare "What?" You figure he would have picked something more, outside. "What happened to 04:30:25

> "Yeah, well you gotta take into account who the party goer is, Firefly." You poke a bit of fun at their minor fluster, even if it were for just a moment, their guard cracked. You love to see it, no matter the troll, no matter the hue; a blush is simply just a treat to behold, "Let's say the roles were reversed, I'm sure based on you knowing me, you'd suggest something like going out to an [i]actual[/i] party or club or something." You scoop up one of the chopped steak lumps in your rice, "But for you... I think anything I could suggest would be a little too high octane. The excitability in the air around you sort of... ya know, leaves you looking like an antlerbeast in headlights, like with me and the chef out front." You noticed, of course you did, you just wouldn't bring it up because it held no meaning till now.[br] [br]"And to take you out somewhere in a sea filled with nothing but that charge racing through the air? I'd rather you take grub steps. Build up to it ya know? Anticipation's a real heck of motivator, and trust me, that's not what I call myself~" you laugh at just how [i][u]BAD AND CORNY THAT WAS![/u][/i] You scarf down the remaina of your rice, one plate left now, "'sides, it may be new to physically be there, but you know where I stay." And you've known that they've known, "It's your 'job to know things about people' ain't it?~" 04:48:32

> You go to parties, just the chill ones, your crowd is just the people to stoned to talk, makes for less interaction, an easier experience. You shift, leaving back a little and off your hands "Great plan and good name but I don't do sleeping in front of people." That isn't even an excuse to worm your way out of things, part of your terrible sleep has been your new blockmate appearing. Too much can happen while a person sleeps, and while you aren't a heavy sleeper you don't want to be left vulnerable at any cost. 04:55:54

> Pfft, you're certain they're serious, but you couldn't imagine being so stiff and wound up like that, "Yeesh, what would you do just sit up and watch [i]me[/i] sleep?" You begin on your last plate, it's been a doozy of a meal, but this is the big finale to your side of this lunch meet-up, "Either way, must be hard if you got a blockie. Luckily, I haven't been assigned one." Match just lit right under the ol' pan, "Better idea, just sleep in my block for a while and I'll... I don't know, figure something out for the next few nights. Sleep at the office or whatever, the lounge rooms got comfy enough couches." Now, you've really gone all in with this crab and squid roll. Mmmmm mmmmm, so good and tasty, "If that'd make you a bit more comfortable doing something an [i]itty bit[/i] spontaneous, I could have that happen, at least for a few nights." 05:07:40

("I go to parties, everyone is just too faded to be counted as clinically alive." 05:08:24

> Sleeping at another persons place? You've done it before but not usually like this. Then again sleep would be great... You just sleep so few hours you don't know what you would do until then, and why would he offer to let you crash there? What would he gain? Time to take a pensive sip of vodka "Why? What's your motive?" You start drinking to finish your drink, you aren't nearly as wasted as your goal but you'll just have to bear through this almost sober. 05:17:58

> "Why do I need a goal? I mean [i]if[/i] I have one, it's literally just what I said: getting you to be a little spontaneous. Plus it'd be weird falling asleep knowing that you're probably gonna bore holes into the back of my head from all your stalking. If anything I should be concerned; You'd be alone, in my block, with all of MY personal items. But ya know... I got nothing to hide and I feel like even if you're a stalker, you're not a thief~" These rolls are going by fast, dipped in wasabi, the sauce, remnants of spices from your first plate of rolls, the WHOLE shebang, "If [i]you[/i] want to give me incentive to do it, I'll most certainly take whatever you give~" 05:26:54

> While you'd love to say this is the weirdest thing you've considered, it really isn't. You sigh for the thousandth time "fine. But I need to stop by my block first." You watch the rolls get whisked away, drowned, and eaten, then watch the sauce and all the spices in it before finishing your drink. You're fully prepared for a night of awkardly lying there staring at the ceiling but maybe it'll give you some quiet. 05:32:08

> "What for?" You stack up your plates nice and neat, a shame that cheesecake's life aspiration won't be filled tonight, but perhaps it's sweet release will be had on another, "Planning to set up shop? Work and relaxation should really stay seperate on this little "vacation" of yours." You go right back to leaning in, you've got nothing better to preoccupy yourself with other than them, so it feels natural enough. 05:41:26
