> They smiled as they followed after them. "Hmm, we could either go to a fancy little dance club or restaurant, maybe catch a show and the music arena." they offered. Inside the RV was a mini cooking station, fridge, a small cushioned bench with table, and a curtain that separated a sleeping area with a coon and comfort slate. Tobira took a seat on the bench while offering a seat next to them. "Can even see if the blood sport arena is open too if you wanted." 17:16:42
> [color=black] What a cozy setup! You listen to them as they list some of your options before opting to take the seat next to them. It would weird if you didn't. You rest your head in a propped up hand, considering your options... Hm. You look around your surroundings as if the RV would help you. No dice. You can at least rule out a dance club. You're barely managing to avoid tripping over yourself already. Best not to tempt fate. [/color] "Uh... Maybe the music or blood sport arena? I could honestly go for anything right now.

They start the drive to the car and start up some calls, seemingly to organize everything. "Likely get one of those nice booth seats too while we're at it, if that's you're cup of tea." they offered, scooting up to the other. "Plus, the folks trying to flirt up a couple of dolls now have to look up." 17:40:56

They really just out and said that... it really only got through your guard because you'd let your thoughts wander pretty far down the less trodden path you had hidden in the brush of your mind. Still realizing that, you just gave them a look over and then thought about yourself in relativity. Yeah. It'd work. Like a good game of stacking colorful blocks- you never [i]did[/i] see the appeal of that game. You never figured out how to play for real, but you got the gist, "Then I guess the plans are changing.

Agains the wall of the lounge was a table nicely set with many raw meats, a pot of udon noodles on a portable stove. A movable cart with a grilled stove for cooking the raw meats, and plenty of sauces to pick, mix, and use!. And a variety of different eastern melon drinks, carbonated and tasty! “Well, well, looks like they’re treating us real nice~!” 21:23:26

This is no longer a contest of who can 'out-melt' the other. You have no choice but to enjoy the rest of this wild ride. You're going to pace yourself and grab a single melon soda.

Your attention is stolen by a piece of meat popping into your field of view. [/color]"Whuh?- Oh! Thanks" [color=black] You'll take the bait and open your mouth. You hope you read this right and you weren't supposed to just take it for yourself. That would be mortifying. You'd sneak one (1) pat afterward. Trade deal successful. [/color] 00:51:16

> they giggled as they fed the other the ribbon of meat. “There we go~, how is it?” They asked, scooting a little closer. For the pat and for the sake of being closer 01:02:53

> You are, once again, and always have been: The Clown. It was finally a night free to yourself, and you were currently spending it preparing for the performance of a lifetime! Not your lifetime, of course, but probably your opponents! You were all dolled up in your festivities: A skin-tight grey jump-suit, pumpkin-bright mesh, and even a cheeky little drama-mask concealing your face. Of course it wouldn't be complete with long ribbons tied to your wrists, gotta have some flair! It was time for the HAROT READING that would decide the fate of your night.. WHEEL OF FORTUNE.. ACE of SWORDS.. THREE of CAEGARS. This was going to be a good performance. You know its your time to shine once two trolls are dragged in from on-stage.[br]> You enter the stage with a somersault-into-cartwheel combo, letting the long gold cane of yours toss through the air and be caught in your hand at the end. Acrobatics and showmanship were second nature to you, of course, it's not like you needed that mask to keep a grin on your face. Across the stage, your opponent is revealed: A pair of large, saber-tooth like lusii with a hungry look in their eyes. You took a bow to the clearly feral creatures, a small jest followed shortly by a duet of ferocious growls. It didn't take one of those weird little play-binoculars to notice this was a stacked as hell fight. Two [s]nargacugas[/s] Saberbeasts vs a tiny little lowblood? Must have been a rest-break for the audience. 01:11:33
> [color=black] This is silly. You made the right choice by not grabbing any of the food. [/color] "Mouthwatering! -That and a few other dozen words that I can't remember." [color=black] Hm. Since you've made it a habit of 'stealing' recently, you might as well steal this tactic too. If allowed, you'll take the chopsticks and a taste of their own cooking! Delightfully devilish... You begin to buffer in real time to allow for someone else to respond.[/color] 01:12:37

> They gladly consume the food with a hum. "I agree~... the food's good too i guess." Tobi you cant just do that to someone! they look down to the the area and smile. "Oh? This looks fun. Not everyday we get a bronze this gutsy." they look on in anticipation. 01:18:29

> "Huh?" [color=black] You're not given enough time to process whatever Tobira just snuck past you. It looks like the next match is starting. Time for yet another-... Oh? You readjust in your seat as you sit up, being careful not to move Tobira around too much. [/color] "I know who I'm rooting for." [color=black] Finally. An [i]actual[/i] match. Something with substance. Enthusiasm! You hope this one has more bite than bark, lest it'll end up being a rerun of the last two matches... Wait- what [i]did[/i] they mean when they said the food was good too?? You're better off to not bother asking. You know better than to do this song and dance with Tobira for the third time. That's not going to stop you from blushing though![/color] 01:25:26
