Bracelets for the soul

Amil yawned at Alti's comments, his words doing very little to the man other than assaulting his eardrums from his screeching tone. "Yes yes, all alone. Any time away from that asshole is a breath of fresh air." He rolled his eyes before smirking at Alti. "Speaking of which, didn't you leave your partner alone as well? And leave him to third wheel with another couple? You're starting to sound more and more like that elmo looking fuck already." He cheered in an overly gleeful tone.

He glanced over at Cyrus, raising an eyebrow before turning back to Alti. "If you're already this obnoxious sober, I'm not going to put alcohol in your system. Feel free to do it yourself." He waved his hand at Alti and turned towards the bar. "Nace is already too far gone to even function as of now, given what happened at the park. He's definitely gonna regret it tomorrow, however..."

He turned back to Cyrus and winked at him. "Given I won our little contest~"

Vale had been ready to continue his hearty screaming match with Alti and the others when Cyrus chimed in with some rather...interesting news. The wrestler released Alraada from his protection and glanced back at Amil in utter confusion. He heard that wrong, right? No, no, the snarky one had certainly said 'no soul'. "What, did the big guy take a joke too seriously?" Vale said with an awkward laugh as he returned to a normal volume. "No soul...what'd you do, steal his flask?" He was fishing for an explanation, even though he was already starting to ease out of his initial shock.

Yes, of course Cyrus didn't mean literally. What was he thinking? That's not something someone would just shout out so flippantly. He turned to Cyrus again and pointed at him with both hands. "YoooooOOOOOOOOOU had me going there for a second! I thought you meant his ACTUAL SOUL! Sorry, guess I was a little bit paranoid! Stupid Vale the Whale!" He comedically knocked on his head.

    Cyrus was surprised by the sudden uproar over his 'no soul debate' comment. With how far removed from his mind the whole concept of spirits and souls and the fact people even had them at all was, he didn't even think twice about his comment. Whoooops. Keep forgetting that shit is disturbingly real. Although he couldn't properly empathize with Vale's genuine shock and paranoia, the luchador's verbal response was much closer to what he'd expect from any normal human being that heard the phrase 'no soul'. He doesn't believe it. Guess that worked out fine.

    While how much he cared about Amil's shock and anger was debatable, he wasn't about to end the day on a sour note. So without missing a beat, he responded to Vale's reaction with an eye roll and a laugh. "No shit I didn't mean his actual soul! That'd be fucking stupid," he grinned, turning to Alraada and lowering his voice just a hint. "It's up to you to cultivate his sense of humor and wordplay, Lettuce," he winked at the other member of the green team before turning back towards Amil, who was now sulking over at the bar.


    A smirk grew across the scientist's face as he heard the penalty for loss. "A leash eh? You sure he's the one that lost the competition?" he laughed. "Sounds like the grand prize to me! Although... I'm not sure I'd trust you as the one holding the leash," he sneered, thinking back to the absolute shambles their hotel room was in after their romp. "Should I be worried for the glowstick?"

"You're pretty forgetful," Iksel said, face plopped back on the bed. "It was nothing to worry about. I just had a call with my sister," he said with a dismissive but weak wave of his hand before letting it hang off the side of the bed once more. Iksel then flipped over on to his back, arms resting on his chest. "So what do you wanna do? Wanna go to bed or..."

Cheri smiled at Galystris when the woman stepped out of the shower. They had been busying themself in the meantime with and ever so rousing game of animal crossing. Oh the excitement of picking up peaches. Cheri closed their game, the collection on charms hanging off of it jingling as they did and responded to Galystris' inquiry. "Actually..." Cheri paused paused nervously, tugging at one of their sleeves. If they did this now there was no going back. Was this... really what they wanted?

Yes. This was who they were. "Remember how I told you there was something I wanted to show you and somebody else...? Well it's kinda important."

Alraada was confused for a second.
She was about to chime in and ask what he meant, until.
Tick
Tick
Ding!
"OH MY GOD"
Alraada's eyes widened at his comment, and she covered her face to mask the tomato color that had come across her face.
"Cy, cy.....d-did you and alti...." Alraada whispered quietly.
They did the sex??? In public??
"Did you frick?" She muttered, despite her normal open-ness with cursing.
She cleared her throat.
“N-Not like I care or anything, y-you f-fork addict?”
She buried her face in her hands at for horrible insult, but was pleasently greeted with a friedly gesuture.
She shook herself of her scandalized attitude and smiled lightly.
“Same to you, Miley.”
At overhearing this comment Alraada quieted down a bit.
He didn't have a soul...?
Or nace didn't...
It seemed more likely Amil didn't, Nace seemed like the type to freak out if someone didn't have a soul.
She tried not to be too freaked out by it, as there are many aspects about herself that the average person would most likely flip a tit over.
Some even had already, but that was something she would like to forget.
So she took it upon herself to be understanding


Alraada noticed the topic of Amil's soul becoming public, and despite her lack of understanding, she became worried.
She didn't want everyone to be angry at him for something she wasn't aware of his control over.
She glanced back at Amil, and gave a look of consolation.
She'd hoped nothing he didn't want to think about was being dug up.
Alraada sighed in relief.
That's good.
Even though something like that would hold significance to Amil (which it visibly did) in her expirience, it was nice to know the speaker did not mean their words.
Alraada let out a relieved sigh, and looked back up at Cyrus.
"It wasn't intentional. I doubt he harbors any malice towards Amil.
She shook her head afterwards.
"Ok, no, that's a huge lie, but I'm sure that he wasn't trying to be mean...." she sighed in confusion.
Alraada cleared her throat and put on a smile.
"So! It was really nice to see all of you dweebs down here. So now that we're all down here together, what do you all want to talk about or do!" She inquired, her eyes moving from person to person, hoping the move would lighten up

    Alti stood idly next to the group, snickering at the screaming scientist as he ever-so-subtly revealed one of the more entertaining parts of their date. He simply blinked at Amil's attempt at a comeback, remembering Cyrus saying something about being left alone with the pink team earlier when he stepped out. Eh, he thought, their observation no longer holding enough weight to really bother him anymore. He did apologize after all, and the date went on quite well after that, so really what was the point? Perhaps it'd sting if he said it earlier? Alti shrugged and opened his mouth to respond, but none of that really seemed to be necessary since his soulmate took over responding to Amil, demonstrating once again how easy breaking the other man in a matter of seconds appeared to be. He raised an eyebrow at the 'no soul' comment as well as the stir it generated in the couple beside them. Despite the rest of the contestants passing off his soulmate's blabbing as a mere joke, Alti himself was not convinced in the slightest. That couldn't have been a joke, right? No way! Not if letting such a 'secret' out to such unsuspecting people brought out such a grand reaction. Not if a religious nut like Nace freaked out about it enough to leave his shifty soulmate behind and chug mind-numbing amounts of alcohol. Not with what the implications of being soulless meant to him. For him. Alti's lips curled up in a bitter smile as he eyed the individual in question for a few moments before averting his gaze back to the green team. Much like his soulmate, he also didn't feel like ending the day with unnecessary drama, so he ignored his feelings towards the tender subject for now. Perhaps he'd ask about it later or something....

    The leash thing definitely helped calm him down, though. He chuckled.


    "Pfft, with how shitfaced he must be right now, I'd be more worried for poor Millie's shoes tomorrow, sweetie~" he replied.

  
  "HA! Like Hell I'm tired!" he snapped back giddily, completely ignoring the fighter's slightly condescending body language. A game sounded great right about now, but with what little knowledge he had about games that 'regular' people played, it was highly likely he'd need a quick tutorial before he could properly engage in all the merriment. The name Twister definitely sounded interesting.

    "Ooh, what's Twister?" he inquired.

"Sounds like twister has some interest!" Vale said with a small squeal, bringing fisted hands up close to his face and shaking them with excitement. He started bouncing from foot to foot, clearly enthralled that others had an interest in the game. "I'll go get the mat!!!!!" 

Vale rushed up the stairs and to the hotel room him and Alraada shared, going to his suitcase and dragging out the game. As he was exiting the floor, he stopped himself, realizing there were quite a few people who might want to partake in this. Rather than just going up and knocking on doors, he let the mat fall to the floor and cupped his hands around his mouth.

"OY! WE'RE PLAYING TWISTER IN THE LOUNGE YOU LAZY HEADS!"
He screamed, loud enough for anyone on that floor and possible the floors directly above/beneath to hear.

He scamped back to the group, holding the mat up like a prize before stretching it out on the floor and placing the spinner next to it. "Here we are!" He proclaimed, resuming his hopping. "Ooooooh I knew it was a good idea to bring this!! I used to play it all time. Gotta stay limber for those matches!" He oh ho ho-ed.
