"Ahh you're into this series as well Lettuce? It's pretty great, right?" he grinned brightly, pointing and hoping to steer the conversation away from the tension-riddled territory it was sailing into. "I dunno how far you are on the Tairaga arc, but one of my favorites gets introduced in this volume." "Fairly far in if I do say so myself..." she said with a shrug. "Tiger just summoned necrosis where I am..." she stated, looking up at him. "You're talking about the imp, right? Zerah? He seems pretty cool so far, but my favorite character is probably pinky/alroth." she said with a shrug. She smiled lightly. "Haven't met many other people who've read shadow slayers...well, then again, I haven't met many other people." she said with a slightly grim laugh. |

"The imp is a fucking asshole. He's pretty funny but I'm talking about the stone-cold bitchy ice mage. She's great. I thought she was gonna be shit after Kama puked on her in the first arc but man was I wrong. Alroth and Pinky are probably my favorite too though. If you like her now, just wait until you get to the final arc. One of the few sane ones in that bunch of idiots." He hummed and gestured for one of the butlers to come by, ordering a bottle of red wine for the table and pouring himself and Alti a glass. "Y'know, there's tons of people that like that series. You gotta get out there more, Lettuce. Once you find some people you like talking to, the world ain't quite so scary." |

She took a light sip of her drink and averted her eyes away from his direction. "That is a nice sentiment, but..."  "From what I've experienced, I cannot agree. Thank you, though." Her expression and tone was almost angry, or regretful, as if she were looking back on something with scorn, and distaste. "I may try and get out more eventually, but...not yet..." |

Ah shit! The salt fest between Aberdeen and Rin is going to start soon. SHIT!
Maicy thought for a conversation conversation topic the prevent that from happening.
Oh! I got it!
"S-So, I remember one time, when I was at the store, I came across these parents who were arguing like crazy. I would've gotten annoyed but those two were actually funny. It's seems like their life was like a cartoon or something!"
Maicy laughed a bit.
"I don't remember fully remember what their argument was about but I'm pretty sure it's something to do with hair products."
She grinned
((Guess what couple Maicy is talking about.))

Whilst Aberdeen was singing along to the tune of the music, they looked around the room, curious as to where Cyrus and Alti were. They'd pay attention to the others, but quite frankly, they weren't as interesting as those two. When Aberdeen finally found the two, it seemed they had been paired on a double date with Alraada and Vale.
"Oooooooooooh, that's interesting~" They chimed as they took their feet off the table and leaned forward in their seat. They couldn't hear what they were talking about, but something interesting was sure to happen, simply given the match-ups. Aberdeen pulled out their phone. 6:22. Eh, I have time. Aberdeen ran their fingers through their hair, eyes now locked on the table. The butler reappeared at the table, now carrying Maicy's food and Aberdeen's salad, which they simply pushed off to the side.
"That food looks good." They muttered to Maicy as the butler awaited Rin and Andrew. "Oh, if any of you want this salad, you can have it. I'm not hungry."
Aberdeen turned to look at Maicy, realizing that she had addressed them. "Oh really? Hair products, huh? That reminds me, I need to buy some later." They chuckled "Mainly bleach and hair dye, but whatever." They shrugged. "I used have a friend who takes his hair products veeeery seriously. Mainly cuz his natural hair is so dry and fro-y he HAS to pay attention to products." Aberdeen stopped talking, realizing what they were saying wasn't interesting whatsoever. "Oh, uh, sorry...I'm uh...rambling. My bad."

Her expression and tone was almost angry, or regretful, as if she were looking back on something with scorn, and distaste. "I may try and get out more eventually, but...not yet..." Cyrus took a sip of his wine, inhaling for a moment and sighing. "Ahh... Not bad," he murmured before swirling it around a few more times, staring at the disgruntled Alraada from across the table. He had a hunch his gut instinct was right. Abuse. "Have some of the wine, Lettuce, you might like it," he replied, taking another sip and setting the glass down on the table. Sitting forward, he placed his elbows on the table, leaning his chin in the back of his hands and looking over at her for a moment, his expression growing more serious. "There's a lot of beasts out there in the world, but it sounds like you're already trapped in the cage with them. In that situation, at least in my experience, expanding my world outside my own little hell was the best thing I could've done. Even though it was also probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do." His voice remained steady and firm as he spoke, keeping steady eye contact with the other until he was finished. He smirked and sat back again, his tone shifting back to it's normal jovial state and seriousness dissipating. "But! What do I know, eh?" he laughed, taking another sip of wine and pointing at her book once more. "You should check out the other books by that author as well, book worm. You might enjoy the Heaven's Spire series. I've got a couple book nerd buddies like you that'd love to talk your ear off about it." Even if she has that weirdo for a partner, if she can at least get some friends outta this then it's worth it. |

Naira cringed a little at the flowers. Where am I supposed to put those? I didn't bring a purse, or anything... Although the "soft spot for flowers" thing was cute. So was his brown curly hair. Naira received his gift, and looked at it. Really looked at it . So much thought put into it, just for her. It was really...something. "Thanks. I think that's really sweet of you!" |

"Thanks, Miley, but I'll have to pass...I'm probably gonna hold off on any sort of alcohol for a while...sorry about that by the way..." She said sheepishly. Alraada listened intently to his justification for his views. "...Thanks, man...just going on this trip is actually sort of my first effort of the sort, you know?" She said directing her gaze back to Cyrus, giving an almost pained smile. She noticed he immediantly went back to a more smiley mood, and she was slightly relieved that she didn't piss him off some how. "Eh, I will eventually, but I'm thinking of waiting until it's finished coming out. I fucking detest cliffhangers when I don't have an immediate resolution to them." |

Vale stared at the other man, squinting harder now. "Knew it," He said, leaning back in his seat and putting his arms behind his head. "You look like the gang type. What were you, cradle robbed? Ran away from home? Sold for the hell of it? Something like that?" He casually brought this up as though it were completely normal, and clearly something he'd talked about before. Alti lowered his eyebrows, his eyes now mirroring the look in Vale's. Even more questions? And just what did he mean by "knew it"? He must've really wanted to challenge him, then. What other reason was there? Alti sucked his teeth at the masked man, applying even more weight onto the one forearm, running the man's many inquiries through his mind as he did so. "Pfft, oh please," he sputtered, giggling at the laid-back luchador. "As if yours truly could EVER be bound many the likes of your human trash, oh noooo....." He rested his cheek on the back of his hand, his face darkening a bit as he continued. "No, if anyone is to be doing the 'binding', it's me." He shot a quick glance at Alraada and then smiled wildly at Vale. A light tapping sensation on his thigh snapped Alti out of his malicious state. He gave a brief look at Cyrus before turning back to the suited vegetable, his smile softening as he assumed his cheeky facade once more. Ahh, right... he thought. Play nice. "Ahahahaha! But anyway, uhhh...." he stopped, taking the glass of wine in one hand while the one that was balancing his head reached over the table to pluck the namesake from the green couple. "Vale Vinaigrette..." he read. "V. V.... oh! Vivi! That's cute, right? I'll call you that from now on!" he exclaimed with a wink. He took a sip of the drink and promptly sat the glass on the table, trying to ignore the book conversation as best as he could. What happened to getting to know your partner? He thought with a smirk. "To answer your question, no!" Alti blurted excitedly, giggling like an idiot to really drive the act home. "I actually meant the real Underworld! You know, the one with the demons and lost souls and such, ahahahaha...." |

He shot a quick glance at Alraada and then smiled wildly at Vale. Vale stiffened, and resisted the urge to move Alraada's chair closer to him. This man was truly pathetic if he was so quick to resort to these sorts of threats so early in the game. And threatening others instead of your initial target? Disgusting. He hated him already. But making enemies was something he's had enough of. He decided to back down for now. Fuck it. He was going to punch this fruit loop right in his god damn face.Vale pulled his hands out from behind his head and leaned heavily against the table, glaring at the man as though he'd just been slapped in the face. "I don't appreciate people who joke about this kind of shit." He spat. He folded his hands and smiled at the other. "Let's change the subject~! Cyrus, I haven't talked much to you. Where are you at in the world right now~?" |

"To answer your question, no!" Alti blurted excitedly, giggling like an idiot to really drive the act home. "I actually meant the real Underworld! You know, the one with the demons and lost souls and such, ahahahaha...." Cyrus checked back into the conversation at the sound of obnoxiously shrill laughter, the man wincing and glancing at his partner. Oh for fucks sake thats not what I meant by "play nice". Vale pulled his hands out from behind his head and leaned heavily against the table, glaring at the man as though he'd just been slapped in the face. "I don't appreciate people who joke about this kind of shit." He spat. He folded his hands and smiled at the other. "Let's change the subject~! Cyrus, I haven't talked much to you. Where are you at in the world right now~?" Cyrus stared over at the enraged wrestler, raising an eyebrow, "Trust me dude, I'm right there with you on the skeptic front but, he ain't joking. Although, I didnt realize he grew up there?" Cyrus looked to his partner, confusion etched across his features. As much as he could empathize with the raspberry vinaigrette's disturbance, he wanted to slow this swan dive into a shitshow as much as he could. Why the hell did they put us at the same table? crossed his mind for a moment, until he realized the idiot scientists they were dealing with. "Anyway, I'm an aerospace engineer at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, aka, a rocket scientist." He smirked and took a sip of wine. "It's pretty sweet. I worked on the latest unmanned flight that launched a couple months ago." He paused, looking over the wrestler curiously. "What do you do besides kill 5 men?" He flagged down one of the waiters, picking up his menu. "Also maybe we should order dinner for this dinner date?" Hopefully people will say less stupid shit when their mouths are full. |

Why the hell did they put us at the same table? crossed his mind for a moment, until he realized the idiot scientists they were dealing with. Great. They both believed in this bullshit. He'd expected better from a scientist. "I won't get into my religious beliefs now. That would be inappropriate for this conversation." He stared at Alti for that last sentence. Vale showed no indication of caring that his death toll was mentioned so casually. He'd already announced it earlier, anyways. "A little of this, little of that." He shrugged, not going into further detail. "Haven't wrestled in awhile. My professional career was cut rather shot. 15 minutes of fame ticked away in a heartbeat." He cupped his hands around his water. "Unorthodox wrestling hasn't been done professionally in awhile. Maybe six or seven years? It wasn't very popular to begin with. There are other, better methods now." He shrugged again and tried to take a sip of his water, only gagging a little this time. |

Sami ignored his last word as best as she could, hauling the item right to her plate and taking one. She never was one to finish her food, however. 'Sami is thankful!' What she was eating was a breadstick and judging by her first bite instantly became a favourite. She never had too many favourites. Sami continued to chew her food, ignoring Arshrin for the time being. She didn't even look up at him, engrossed in her meal. She feared this would spell a bad experience, yet couldn't do otherwise. The other ladies in the room were woman; they had proper conduct and proper dress. She lacked the first point, and even the second point she was greatly bested. Maybe everyone was right. Maybe she was a child after all, wearing mother's outing wear. {Spoiler - Click to View}  |

Arshrin has gotten an answer on rather or not Sami is mad. He began to feel really, really bad that he is late.
"I-I...am sorry that I made you mad... I didn't mean to be late...."
Arshrin looked down with a depressed look.
----
Maicy smiled.
"Heheh, it's fine. At least you're talking about someone who's a friend. I was just talking people that aren't even part of my life."
The butler handed Maicy her food.
"Thank you very much."
Maicy cut a small chunk of it. She took the first bite of it.

"I don't appreciate people who joke about this kind of shit."  " Who the fuck's joking, you asshole..." he muttered to himself. Alti took a large gulp of his wine, this time slamming it to the table as he he forced his smile to keep going despite what Vale said, hoping the alcohol would take away some of the sting. It didn't. The man shook as he tried to bottle up his true feelings, glaring at the masked man. How Cyrus expected him to continue to play nice when this... this freak accused him of joking about the Underworld (and then had the audacity to brush him aside for another topic) remained a mystery to Alti. The scientist knew how he felt about the topic, and he was more than aware of the consequences behind challenging him like this. Luckily, he was able to calm down once his partner took his side, and Alti's smile no longer appeared broken as he finally started to calm down, but not completely. No, he had to use that rage to get back at Vivi. "Anyway, I'm an aerospace engineer at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, aka, a rocket scientist." He smirked and took a sip of wine. "It's pretty sweet. I worked on the latest unmanned flight that launched a couple months ago." "OH!" he chirped, turning back towards his soulmate. With all the excitement going on, he had almost forgot who was actually on a date with. He figured since the back-and-forth he had with Vale had left the scientist with a new piece of knowledge about himself, he might as well use this "break" in the tension to find out more about his soulmate, choosing his words carefully and keeping an eye out for any opportunities to shift the conversation back to the original argument. "Is that what you do? That sounds so... cool!" He glanced back at Vale for a split second. "You think you can tell me about space?" |
