Character Resort

Beach

"I am not swimming," Qrlil said. "I am simply trying to get a bit closer. Like I said, I cannot really swim in these robes."

She decided to take a guess. "And if anyone here is going 'spelunking', I highly doubt it is you."

[Bar]

Dante turned toward Klaus, "That sir, is," He paused on how to enter, "Data running faster then what I can read, but from what I can tell, it has something to do with a train."

Awwww, but that's half the fun! Kali chuckled, and gave him a pat on the back.

Kidding. You'll be nice and safe and sound. And I guess I can lay off... she thought about that for a second before grinning again, but only if you let me sneak one in every once and a while. Come on, please?

[Bar]

"I'm a conceptual arcanist," said Vincent. "Or, in layman's terms, that means that I work with experimental magic. Weird shit happens in my job. It's like, 'problem, Newton?' and then it makes a trollface."

He ordered some water and took a sip. "What do you do?" he asked. "Nothing immediately jumps to mind that would require a fighter, but maybe I'm just uncreative."

[Beach]

Xavier managed to hide his sigh of relief decently, and gave a look of thanks to Qrlil. "Yeah," he said to Saliha. "We're not going spelunking. Remember? We talked about that... what, two or three nights ago?"

Turning back to Qrlil, he said, "At least you're testing the water. I can understand that robes would be kind of limiting in water. But I probably wouldn't go much deep than waist-high, if that."

Wow, that made no sense at all.

Just like everything else lately.

"And what are you looking at it for, boy?"

Saliha put on an exaggerated pout, mumbled, "Aww, I wanted to find treasure..." and began to sulk. She splashed a bit of water in Xavier's direction.

[Bar]

Michael chuckled, "Yeah, I've seen some weird shit too, well more like scary shit. Anyway, I'm our group's liaison, as in I own the place where those two," he pointed in the two directions Richard and Dante were in, "Live and make sure they get their job done, but I also participate in the investigations, and sometimes I have to do the physical fighting." He rubbed his hand, "You would not believe how much it can hurt to punch some of the things we fight."

[Bar]

Dante brushed his hair out of his eye, "Trying to see some stuff about my group's next case, hoping that it doesn't eat us anything before we find it."

Beach

Qrlil tipped her head. "I really would like to go swimming, but I had not considered it as an option before coming here."

She thought a bit. "So what were you two talking about before the subject of... 'caves'?"

"Have fun."

Geez, aliens do weird things. "So are you detectives or what?"

"What?" Julia said, startled. Well, she hadn't suspected that before... "I mean... uh, surely, there must be some reason you've like, never really told us where you're from!"

This is getting hard, Julia thought, but how can I leave a mystery like this alone?

Great. She's not gonna let this poor woman go, is she, thought Avea, giving Siv a sympathetic glance.

[Beach]

Xavier flicked some water into Saliha's face. "Unfortunately, finding treasure of any kind isn't as glamorous as it looks in the movies. It takes a lot of work, and sometimes people try to get to the treasure before you do, so you need to get there really quickly. And even then, they'll try to steal it out from under you."

Oh, wow, that is weird image.

"But," he continued, "sometimes you get lucky and can find some treasure that no one else knows about. Then you can have it all for yourself."

He turned to Qrlil. "Nothing really. Just the water and how it's nice. Saliha hasn't even been to the ocean before."

[Bar]

"What about guns?" asked Vincent. He mimed holding a rifle and made pew-pew noises. "Guns can solve lots of problems. Are they immune to bullets? If so, are they completely invulnerable?"

Beach

Qrlil hissed slightly. Stupid innuendo-laced human language.

"I have never been to a real ocean - well, inasmuch as this is 'real' - either," she said. "It is... nice. Not that I mean to be repeating that again and again."

She blinked briefly. "Do you suppose that the hotel staff would have anything that would let me swim?"

Possibly my last post for the night, though I might be able to resume shortly. We'll see.

[Bar]

Dante nodded, "Yeah, private detectives, though we only take certain cases."

[Bar]

"I only have one gun," he removed the semi-automatic pistol from his coat and removed the magazine to show Vincent, "And I only use it on human subjects, and that is because they're working with the thing's we're fighting."

Saliha floated over to Xavier and put her arms around his waist underneath the water. "You're a treasure, Xavier." She licked his head and chirped.

[Beach]

"Um," said Xavier to Qrlil. That was an interesting question. He glanced up to the resort. "I... I don't see why they couldn't supply you with one. Why don't you go up to the building and ask someone? It can't hurt."

He delicately pushed Saliha's tongue away from his eye. "Well, don't sell me to a collector," he joked. "I rather like being free. Unless I'm worth like a bazillion dollars, in which case I can break out and you can make lots of money."

[Bar]

"What do you fight?" asked Vincent. "Monsters? I've seen lots of those in my day. Some I don't want to see again, and some I've beaten so thoroughly I can't look at them again without bursting into laughter."

Night.

[Bar]

Michael nodded, "Yeah, monsters, but not any normal kind of monsters. These monsters are horrors beyond time and space, worse then what you can normally imagine," He took back his pistol and reinserted the magazine, placing the pistol back in his coat, "Those things are hard to punch though."

Nighters!

Lucas squinted and recoiled in disgust. Oh, he imagined in Kali's voice, making it so she'd read it as a perfect mimicry, I'll only molest you a couple times. That's alright with you, isn't it?

"I think I've changed my mind," he said aloud, getting up from the table. He strode to the beach exit. There he might be able to think and be alone.
Bed.

"I meant a kiss! Don't be so dramatic!" Kali called after him. Seriously, it wasn't like she was asking him to bend over and call her 'Mistress' or anything. Talk about overreacting...

Still, it'd been way too long since she'd met someone as entertaining as him, and even longer since she'd had someone to chat with over more than a lukewarm brewsky. She'd never admit it to his face, but honestly? She was damn lonely.

Finally, frustration and impatience won over her mile-wide manipulative streak, and she ran, trying to catch up with him. Grabbing him by the shoulder, she turned him around and begrudgingly said, "Alright, alright. You win. There shall be no kissing, licking, inappropriate touching, innuendos or use of the words 'sex muffin' without your consent. Are we happy now?"

Beach - bar

Qrlil narrowed her eyes slightly at Saliha - that is how humans show annoyance, right? - but said nothing. She bobbed her head slightly to Xavier, saying "Very well, then. I will be back shortly."

She turned, lifted her robes, and walked quickly out of the water, up the beach, and back into the bar. Finding the nearest maid, she hissed loudly to get its attention. "Excuse me? Do you have any clothing that would allow me to go swimming?"

Good night for real. Feel free to have anyone nearby speak to Qrlil while she's in the area, but I doubt she'll stay long.

[Simulator/Theater]

After the movie had ended, Shinako said to The Prince, "Well, that was rather fun - always nice to see something new!"

[Tables]

"You can call me Theodore." Theodore said to The Chimera, "Nice to meet you. But a high school? Well, there are a lot of youngsters that don't seem to know what they're doing, so I suppose I can see that."

[Bar]

The maid replied to Qrlil, "Certainly, there are some changing rooms next to the washrooms if you would like to try on some different possibilities. Whatever you want can be fitted and designed for you."

The sun was now nearly overhead, shining brightly on the Resort, warming the grounds.

[ Current Time: Noon / Early Afternoon ]

Sorry - ended up getting tied up all day today.

"But...I already told you! I'm from Earth!"

Siv paused.

"Britain. I'm from Britain."

That made sense. Tera had said that when she spoke english, she had something like a British accent, so she probably was British.

Probably.

"Indeed it is," answered The Prince, "Thank you for spending all this time with me, by the way. So, what shall we do now? It's your turn to decide."

"The metaphor of course falls apart taking the whole extra-dimensional plane of existence into consideration, but you get the idea."

[Lobby]

Another fox-like figure walked through the interdimensional door. He had darker blue hair, and immediately walked up to the maid, asking a question.

Upon being informed of the answer, he walked quickly through the warp doors to the basement.

. . .

[Simulator/Theater]

"Hmmm... let me think..." Shinako said, "Ooo, what about gambling? Do you like that?"

"Shinako!" said the figure from before, bursting through the theater doors.

"Urahiro!? What are you doing here?" Shinako said to him.

"What do you think I'm doing here? You never visit, and now I hear you're on vacation and you're here with ..." Urahiro said, looking at The Prince, "and ... don't tell me you ...?"

"Oh, no, we just had sex and watched a movie, that's it." Shinako said.

"Sorry, nevermind then. But still! There's a continent-moving party tomorrow, and I got VIP tickets and everything!"

"Man, that does sound like fun... maybe I should go..." Shinako said, thinking about it.

[Tables]

"Of course. Although, I suppose it could be an interdimensional High School." Theodore said, "But nah, enough of that. Say, you haven't said anything about what you do or where you're from."

[Simulator/Theatre]

The Prince grabbed Shinako by the hand, glaring aggressively at the man who so rudely had interrupted them.

"What? Don't go! We were having fun here... right?"
