"Well, we aren't gonna get any food just standing around here, right? C'mon! The stairway is just down the hall." The bartender began walking off, hopefully far enough along to where no one would see them visibly shaking. Vale was still gripping the hatch, an annoyed frown spreading beneath the mask. Now the damn thing wouldn't come off his chest, what the hell? Instead of aiming to pull himself off, he instead aimed to propel the hatch away from him. It slowly and reluctantly made a gap, and from there he brought his feet up to push the hunk of metal into the shaft. He watched in confusion as it stuck itself to the metal elevator doors, appearing to fly towards it and attach itself despite him clearly ordering it into the shaft. He approached it cautiously, raising a hand out to touch it. His hand was sucked against the hatch and once more he had to propel himself away from it. It's been magnetized. He realized in horror. His phone buzzed and he pulled it out. " "Vale cursed under his breath and shoved it back in his pocket, turning away from the elevator and walking quickly after Aberdeen. "Come on." He said to Alraada, a bit distant and cold as his mind was preoccupied with other thoughts. They'd meant for that to kill him. They'd planned on him not being able to get out, or at least slowed enough where the others could leave without him. So they wanted him dead that badly...? |

“U-uh..” he stammered nervously, too caught up in his own shortcomings to even notice the similar shakiness in the other’s voice as he struggled to keep up. With every rushed step, he could feel his movements lagging behind Cyrus’, and with the fibers in the carpet seeming to work against the soles of his boots, his efforts at mirroring the scientists grew clumsier and clumsier until-- OOF- "Whoops..." A few clumsy sets of threes later and the scientist found himself with his back firmly against the ground. "S-Sh-shi- ahh!" he let out a strange garbled mix of expletives and shouts as he was taken by total surprise once they lost their balance, grip tightening up on the other man's back as they tumbled to the ground. His heart pounded in his chest as his eyes stayed locked on Alti's for a few more moments, a very rare genuinely nervous grin spreading across his face. "W-Whoops is right..." he chuckled a little bit, breath catching in his throat as he tried to speak. He could feel the flush on his cheeks growing darker and darker a they remained in this more vulnerable position, but it was... different than the other times they'd been in more physically intimate positions. Why the hell is this so intimidating...? he thought. So many open opportunities for further flirting or teasing had just made themselves available, and yet he felt a very noticeable disconnect forming between his brain and his mouth. For a few more quiet moments, he fumbled and failed to form words, the air filled with nothing but the orchestral music flowing from the speakers. Finally he found himself able to string together words into a coherent, light-hearted tease. "I-It's good we got some practice in b-before the next formal event e-eh? It would've been... somethin' if we tripped up like this in the ballroom last night," he laughed. That's when he noticed just how tightly his hand was gripping the other man's back, finally releasing his iron grip and sliding his hand across and off his soulmate's back. Sentences were starting to get easier as he had more and more time to gather his thoughts. "B-But anyway... s-sorry 'bout that. Told ya I wasn't great at dancing," he grinned. "S-Still, that was... fun," he admitted more quietly, finally breaking eye contact with Alti and glancing to the side sheepishly. |

Alraada continued through silently, until she heard the crash. She jumped at the crash, and her arms began to shake, which had trouble supporting her, until she saw the other side. She crawled quickly out of the shaft, and looked back at vale. oh god...he mustve been horrified.Vale cursed under his breath and shoved it back in his pocket, turning away from the elevator and walking quickly after Aberdeen. "Come on." He said to Alraada, a bit distant and cold as his mind was preoccupied with other thoughts. Alraada was slightly taken aback by his sudden coldness...but, admittedly, she understood it. That's how she often reacted to fear. "...Alright." she said, her voice still wavering slightly from the events prior. She followed after him, not saying anything immediately afterwards. She knew how much she despised it when people asked her about what she was scared of. It seemed though, that there was something else was on his mind. She'd have to wait until things mellowed out, give him a chance to calm down. |

Aberdeen continued down the hall and into the stairwell, trying to calm their breathing as they did so. They slowly made their way down the stairs, being much more cautious than they'd normally be. After an incident like that, there was no way in hell they were going to act carelessly. It only took a few minutes to completely descend the stairs and enter the lobby, and from there they walked on over to the cafe. From there, they were seated shortly afterwards.
Just looking over the menu made Aberdeen's stomach growl. This whole cafe plan was an awful idea, given they wouldn't be able to eat until they had some alone time. And given Maicy's tendency to tag along with them wherever they went, that'd be nearly impossible. Aberdeen scratched the back of their head, pretending to look over the menu while they waited for the others to order.

Maicy looked into her her menu. So though to choose! She then made her decision.
"I think I'll have the cinnamon spiced waffles."
She looked at Vale and Alraada
"How about you guys? What will you have?"

"B-But anyway... s-sorry 'bout that. Told ya I wasn't great at dancing," he grinned. "S-Still, that was... fun," he admitted more quietly, finally breaking eye contact with Alti and glancing to the side sheepishly. Alti blinked back into reality at the sound of the scientist's shaky voice tapping his ears. His breathing slowly returned back to normal as the pressure on his back disappeared. Part of him was sad to feel the hand slide off his side, but overall he was relieved that the source of the tension had disappeared. Despite all this, his body refused to budge, as if fighting the instructions his brain gave it to move. As if it were acting on its own. As if it wanted this, but he wasn't all too sure he did. Alti's cheeks remained red as his arms continued to carry his weight. How do I get out of this? he thought to himself, continuing his fight against these strange fuzzy feelings. His efforts to keep his rattled thoughts from slipping out proved ineffective shortly after. "N-No!" he responded shakily, involuntarily leaning forward as he spoke. "I-it... was my fault, heh...." He pursed his lips as he looked to the side in annoyance, thankful the other's eyes weren't on him at the moment. This is humiliating. I can't say anything to him... He slowly looked back at his soulmate, a bit taken aback at how vulnerable the other man appeared now. Even more than him, it would seem. In any other case, he'd have no problem exploiting that weakness and using it as grounds for teasing and other miscellaneous activities to ensue, but now he was at a loss. With time, the moment began to loosen its grip on his body, mainly in one hand, which he used to lightly scrape at the carpeting underneath as he tried to focus on a plan and not say something stupid. And that's when it hit him. He thought back to the last thing his partner said. It was fun, he repeated in his mind, the beginnings of a grin starting to appear. He continued to twiddle his fingers against the fabric of the flooring as he trapped the phrase in his mouth, leaning in closer to Cyrus. "Yeah," he cooed, this time without stammering, "it WAS fun..." He shifted his weight onto one arm as the one he could actually maneuver brought a hand up to the other man's face, turning it so that his partner could face him again. Slowly, he leaned in further and pressed his lips against the other's for a few seconds before tearing himself away and smiling. "Thanks for teaching me~" he said cheekily, glad that his thoughts were finally now in sync with his words. Alti crawled back a couple of feet and sat back down, his gaze still on Cyrus' flustered form. His program had long since ended, and he needed a new source of entertainment. |

Vale followed closely behind Aberdeen, sitting down at the table next to them and pulling out a chair for Alraada. "Come, sit down." He said, still a bit distant. He was clutching the phone in his pocket, still deep in thought. He fingered through the menu before simply ordering water, resting his face in his palm and propping his elbow up on the table. How much longer could he keep this up. At first it was just him, but now others were in danger as well. ...So now what. Reveal everything? Yeah that would go over so well. He sighed and leaned backwards in his chair. "You want anything?" He asked Alraada. |

"You don't have to tell anything you don't want to." she said with a shrug. "I..understand not talking about stuff like that." she pulled some crumpled money from her pocket. "Yeah, I'll just get a bagel or something." Alraada fucking loved bagels. -- Name: Galystris Dawnfury Age:23 S/O: Pansexual/Panromantic(prefers girls) Backstory: Galystris is an ex military general, who later went on to pursue a career in meteorology. She was a weather girl briefly, but switched her studies to predicting and preventing storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes. She broke away from the military after the main threat was defeated.

Alti crawled back a couple of feet and sat back down, his gaze still on Cyrus' flustered form. His program had long since ended, and he needed a new source of entertainment. The scientist's entire body tensed as Alti turned his head and planted his lips firmly against his, the moment coming and going in such a fleeting glimpse of time he barely had a chance to react, only weakly reciprocating the pressure mid-shock. As it finally clicked for him what happened, he stared over at Alti who'd now scooted back a couple feet, his embarrassment more and more visible on his face as he realized how stupid his reaction just was. What the hell is wrong with me...? The hell was that weak ass bullshit response?
Mentally kicking himself, he rolled up onto his knees and shoved himself forward, closing the gap between the two of them. And with one final burst of determination, he belatedly returned the sign of affection, gently stroking Alti's cheek with his free hand and pressing his lips against his soulmate's firmly for a few long moments before slowly pulling back. He paused for a moment before kissing him a second time with more conviction, breaking contact slowly a few moments later and smiling at him. With his mind and mouth now more in sync, he teased coyly, "We'll have to have a more indepth second lesson, yeah?" He flashed the other man a smirk, the hand how tangled in Alti's hair running down his neck to his shoulder, the scientist glancing up at the TV as the atmosphere of the orchestral music had been broken with the clamor of commercials. "Looks like it's over huh..." he sighed, grabbing the remote and flipping through the channels in annoyance before shutting off the TV. "Well... the others all went down to the cafe, shall we make their morning a little more interesting?" he grinned, pushing himself to his feet before grabbing Alti's hand and helping him up. While his interest in conversing with the others had now been sparked now that the headache had waned, he still couldn't help the anxiety gnawing away about Vale and Alti being within the same vicinity once again. The laffy taffy luchador already had voiced some sort of distaste for the two of them joining their breakfast rendezvous, but everyone should've slept off the adrenaline and calmed down by now... right?? Walking down the stairs -- for some reason the elevators were now marked "Out of Order" -- they reached the cafe, the scientist scanning the tables for the other contestants. Not like those weirdos are gonna be hard to spot. Finally a flash of green caught his eye, and he waved and loudly shouted. "Ey! Lettuce! Hedgehog!" before heading towards their table, grabbing a couple presumably unoccupied chairs and dragging them over, wedging them into place for the two to sit down in. "Looks like we made it just in time," he grinned, pointing to the menus still strewn about the table. |

Aberdeen's head looked up from the menu in surprise at their new nickname being called out to them. Alti and Cyrus had decided to make their way down to the cafe after all, which while Aberdeen was happy to see them they were also put on edge. They glanced over at the fighter, recalling the warning he had given them, but decided not to bring it up. Instead they gave a small wave back as Cyrus pulled up to chairs to the table. "Well, look who decided to show up to breakfast! A free meal too good to pass up, huh?" They teased as they waved their wallet around. "Looks like you got over that hangover pretty quickly." They looked around the table, their heart rate slightly increasing at the thought of another fight possibly breaking loose in the cafe. The scientists really wouldn't appreciate that... |

Elenara escorted the two newbies over to the cafe, where she knew some people were.
She guided the two closer to Alti and Cyrus, purposefully breaking their moment.
"These two joined late. Since I know I can trust you lot with these people due to your previous interactions, so good luck."
She smiled and waved them off before Cyrus could say or do anything that would get him kicked out.
Despite how much she wanted to kick them out.
--
Galystris was horribly annoyed.
Was the money really worth it?
The alien looking person and the barbie: stripper edition...and the normal looking one who looks like an ass too, were the pure definition of a freakshow.
"I'm Galystris Dawnfury. A pleasure to meet you all." she said blankly.
((imagine her with a light russian accent due to coming from another country))

Piami walked over and sat next to Galystris. She had a light but noticeable blush.
"My name is Piami Yuly. It's nice to meet you all."
---
Maicy looked at Galystris and Piami as they arrived. She waved.
"Sup'."

Vale turned his head slowly towards the two as they entered the scene, his hand squeezing the edge of the chair as they sat down at Aberdeen's table. Without a word, he stood up and dragged his table to the opposite end of the cafe, leaving Alraada sitting with an empty space in front of her. He then proceeded to start dragging chairs around the table, flipping some over and stacking them before vanishing underneath, completely obscuring him from everyone's view. |

 Maicy and Piami notice that Vale was doing. --- Maicy looked with confused "Vale....what the fuck?" ---- Piami became curious "Huh? What is that guy doing? Is he making a house or something?" |
