Ice Cream Stand
"Hi, Arif. Bye, Arif." Greg says as he watches Arif come and then go. He takes another lick of his ice cream. "Sure, let's head back." he says before turning and starting to do just that. "...Why wouldn't regular hotdogs be space hotdogs? I mean, Terra is in space."
Toraq looks up to Kyerine. "Is there anything else you want to do, Kyerine, or would you like to head back now?"
Delta Dash Arcade
"Well, here goes..." Taking a deep breath as the song starts, Amos does his best to start hitting the arrows as they start to flash across the screen, though with a clear lack of coordination. He seems to have a bit of a harder time when it comes to hitting them with his right leg as well, causing him to hit some notes rather off beat.
Troperia - Lounge
Rakiri sits up from the counter, and spins on his stool to face Mitch. "...That ship has been sailed...or something. Anyway...what do you want? Shouldn;t you be somewhere doing...the things you do..." he rambles, before his eyes take note of the box. "...What's that..."

"I want to try!" Kyerine exclaims dropping his icecream intentionally and then putting out a hand towards it. His essence suddenly flowing as Tor could feel. The spilt icecream floating up and starting to move slightly becoming more ball like before.... It bursts spraying Kyerine and Toraq with the icecream.
"Opps..." He says innocently, shaking his head and trying to clear the icecream now covering his face.
Delta Dash Arcade
"You're be okay." Michael says as it starts hesitantly, not really paying attention to Amos. The first few notes being a bit off but its not long before Michael starts to get better. Feel the beat michael, you can do it. Its just music, you can always do anything you need to with music... repeating to himself trying to encourage his own movements.Which seemed to be working, while Amos was struggling Michael's movements become more confident and perfectly on-time to the beat.

Chris watches as Kyerine tries to replicate Peter's actions....Aand nearly starts rolling on the ground with laughter.

Lex smiles, but it seems somewhat forced, and stands, "How about you make sure you don't starve and exhaust yourselves before worrying about...that, ok?"Training Room
"Don't worry," Kijo says, also standing and picking up the blaster from earlier, "I'm not worried about it at all. Too awkward for me." He then walks to the nearest control panel and starts inputting commands.
"By the way...about the whole privacy thing...just do what you will. It's subconscious back there, so I don't even feel his presence," he frowns and hits one key decisively, and the drones come back out, this time set for shielding and general target practice, "Consider it...fuck, I don't know. An apology or something."

Ice Cream Stand
Peter pushes his hand forward to stop the incoming ice cream, before properly reshaping the ice cream back on Kyerine's cone, while pilfering a little bit for himself in plain view. All this while giggling and forcing himself not to laugh out loud so he can concentrate.
Izzie chuckles again, helping Chris with one hand so he doesn't fall over while still holding her ice cream with the other.
Training Room
"Maybe ya should get a bit more sober fer this." Mitch says, touching Rakiri's back to gently burn off the alcohol in his system. He should feel a pleasantly warm feeling from all over his body.
"I got ya this." Mitch puts the box on the table, just next to where Rakiri's sitting.
Training Room:
Torvahk Grevom would eventually arrive at the training room, but once he got there he wouldn't do anything beyond standing near the entrance in silence as he looked around his surroundings. He took note of everyone that was in there, along with everything that the Training Room contained (whatever that might be) before simply spectating what was going on.
Living The Fever DreamIce Cream Stand
"..." Tor stands silently as his face, his glasses mostly being completely, and his shirt are covered in ice cream.
He calmly removes his glasses and licks the ice cream off the lenses. "...Well, that's certainly a different way to eat ice cream." he says with a chuckle. "Worry not, Kyerine. Nothing a washing machine cannot fix." he says, trying to reassure the boy.
Delta Dash Arcade
Amos continues to fumble around like a drunk ox on the dance mat. Even though he's not particularly good, he seems to be at least having some sense of fun. He glances over at Michael and notes that he;s doing WAY better than is. "Oh, wow...you're doing great!" he says, his focus on Michael making him miss even more.
Lounge
"Hey, what-" he raises his arms as if he's trying to stop him, but he just ends up grabbing his arm more than any actual pushing away. He feels the warm sensation spread through his back and he shudders a bit from the feeling. "Is this supposed to be your way of saying sorry...?" he asks, a bit more sober as he picks up the box, not opening it just yet.

Kyerine looks a little guilty at Toraq as he is covered in icecream. "I didn't mean to." He mutters despite being assured otherwise.His attention then peakes to the icecream being restored by Peter into a large ball. "Thank you, I'll try and not sploosh it again." He says cheerfully taking a little bit more and getting more brain freeze.
"Eek... can we go back now Tor." He says with clear discomfort.
Delta Dash Arcade
Michael smiled and commented to Amos in return, "You're doing great as well." Though Michael might have been either lying or have a low standard for good but hey. He seemed encouraging and enjoying himself, even adding a bit of a spin at one point in the song feeling confident as his score was near perfect.Russell's confident look seems to be fading, as he whispers something into his watch at and then whatever response he gave clearly dropped his mood. "Wha its his first time?" He questions to himself, not specifically to either of the others.

After nearly getting lost Mireille finally arrived at the room, it was... it was... actually pretty much everything she could have hoped for, there were flowers, trees, everything... although some seemed to be... burned? But there was even a lake in here. She took a deep breath, yes, this was paradise, she would need to make some lab for herself now. She looked through the thing, there were all sorts of plants in there, she could make out some Skecolian plants, easy to spot with their orange leaves and blue stems, there were even some even more exotic plants that even Mireille couldn't reckognize, oh yes, working here would be fun.
"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"His favourite song played. It always made him so maudlin. The well dressed black man blended in with the stranger and now alien guests at the Black Falcon. The feel of Terrain wood, a staple of the bar, was comforting even though he had never visited his birth planet.
He thought about his parents and sunk deeper into the maudlin feelings. They would be ashamed of him now. Sure he had been chairman, but now? A washed up politician nobody liked especially. "Another glass of Port" he asked, the bartender, wearing a demure corset and dress, nodding and pouring him the drink. A few people looked over and muttered to each other, ending in laughter. He downed the port in front of him, trying to ignore the shame.

Aria beeped and whizzed as she came towards Arif.
"Hey, you got hardware improvements!" Aria beeped warmly.
AFFIRMATIVE. UPGRADED BODY PANELS CAN WITHSTAND MOST BLASTS. SOLAR PANELS FOR CHARGING. AND A CENTRALLY-MOUNTED BALLASTIC PROJECTILE.
"Wow, okay. I guess the Defence Force are big on you getting firepower. And, like, United Robotics is okay with mounting a huge cannon in your hull."
ALSO APPLIED IS A MINTY FRESH SMELL.
"Oh, yeah. I smell it. Huh."
Arif and Aria went to where the others were, Aria still smelling strongly of mint.
HELLO COMRADES.
Ice Cream Stand
Seeing as neither of his boyfriends acknowledged what he had said, Greg shrugs and continues on back to the ship by himself. He does give Arif a wave before he leaves, anyway.
Tor nods to his young friend. "Sure, that's not a problem...ah, wait. I wanted to make one other stop before we go back. It should only take a moment." he says, and starts to head off to do just that.
The Black Falcon
"Hmm...Well, it is closer than the Whiskey Way...I suppose I can get what I am seeking here as well." he says before calmly pushing open the door and stepping inside. Taking a look around, and seeing the dress of some of the staff, Tor decides that this isn;t a place that he wants to expose Kyerine to any longer than necessary. He calmly approaches the bar and orders a bottle of Alphyxi Fire Whiskey. As he waits, he notices the main in the suit, who seems to be down on his luck at first glance. He's naturally concerned, but doesn;t say anything yet.
Delta Dash Arcade
"Ahaha...I'm really not, but that's for saying it at least." he says with a chuckle. "I am having fun at least, so, that's the important bit." he smiles, and watches as Michael seems to be getting more and more perfect notes. He glances over to Russell for a moment (he's already doing too bad for it to make a difference, so why not) and doesn;t make out what he says. He turns back to the game before long either way.
Lounge
"Yeah, it kind of is. Very." Rakiri answers, trying to maintain his bitter expression, but not managing it well. "...Ugh. Part of me really wants to punch you in the face. But the other part is just telling me to shut up and get over myself. You know, emotions suck when they aren;t good ones..." he says with a sigh before slamming his head back down onto the bar top. "...Ow."

Kyerine follows Toraq in, looking around with a confused expression wrinkling his nose slightly. "Why are we here and what is that smell." Clearly discomforted by something he is smelling, maybe the smell of alcohol?He is looking around alot, examining the room and does look at the individual Toraq did, staring for maybe a little too long but breaking gaze immediately if looked at. Nervously sticking close to his big friend.
Delta Dash Arcade
The game will quickly come to an end. With the scores plain as day, with his distractions and not full effort and his dexterity that of... well lets just say it wasn't that good. Regardless Michael got a incredible score, actually reaching the first place high score for that song on his first try, Amos... Well better luck next time?The small crowd is clearly very impressed. Michael going upto Amos and giving a bit of a excited hug. "Haha, you did fine and look I didn't fail at this one." Michael very enthusiastic.
A slow by but genuine clap from Russell behind. "Huh, well looks like we have a new champion for this game at least. I'm dont stand a chance at beating this one."
Michael blushes quickly at the attention he then receives. "I mean, its not tha.... " He looks at the score. "Well I guess urm." His overconfident and enthusiasm he first came in with clearly vanishing and actually dramatically gone to before. A serious shift in demeanor of confidence.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."Vincent looked deep into the glass, seeming to hold all his sorrows. He swirls the remaining little bit of alcohol around by moving the glass. He is aware of the newcomers but ignores them until one stands next to him. The second glass is put down before him, an unending chasm.
"Not from around here, are you?" he asked without looking up. He nudged the case with his foot so it came closer to him. "I can tell because you're not laughing at me, so you don't know who I am" he relief bitterly below they could answer.

Tor gently pats Kyerine on the head, trying to keep him relaxed. "Just picking up another bottle of liquor for the lounge. I noticed it seemed to be missing this brand, and it's quite good. We shall not linger too long, do not worry." Hearing the man speak, he glances over to him, also noting the strange case. "Laugh at you? What reason would I...or anyone have to do that, sir?" he asks, rather confused by the statement.
Delta Dash Arcade
Amos returns the hug, managing to keep his blushing to a minimum. "In simple man's terms, you kicked that game's ass." he says with a laugh. "Seriously, you're really good." he says trying to assure him. As he looks over to put in his initials for his pathetic score of EAA, he chuckles again a she sees Aur's name in the list repeated. At east he wasn;t the only one who did terrible.

Picking his head up, Rakiri looks back at Mitch as if contemplating. "...Eh, fine, I'll open it." Rakiri decides and does just that, revealing the necklace with the maelstone sphere in it. His face takes on a completely different look. "...Maelstone? Where did you find this? I searched shops for it when we were here last time but couldn't even find an ounce of it..." he says and takes it out of the box.

"Eh, fair enough..." Greg answers.

Lex looks to Torvahk and smiles in greeting. "I should...probably go check in with the captain and see where I can make myself useful. You guys have fun. And, Kijo...thanks." she says, before leaving the room.Lounge
"Grew't up my ass." Mitch replies, seeming completely serious for a moment before grinning. "Just kiddin'. Got lucky, 'pparently - there's one shop that sells a few'f these. Whaddaya think?"

"It's idiotic, actually. It doesn't take five seconds for anyone to figure out that just because something's made in space doesn't automatically mean it's special. Plus, we're not even in space." Izzie says, done with most of her ice cream by now.
The Black Falcon
Kyerine nods a little to Toraq, though he was clearly confused about what a bar is and why people are drinking such strong smelling drinks. No protest though just confusion.
Then he looks over again to the dour and dark man in a suit, the negativity getting to the young boy quite a bit as he moves further to use Tor as cover. Eyeing him but not responding.
Delta Dash Arcade
Michael just laughs to Amos' comments, nervously due the attention but genuinely. "Well what next?" He said looking around a little at some of the crowd, clearly unnerved.Russell didn't seem to care as much, then he didn't see them staring at him. "Really upto you? I'm feeling a little hungry but I could keep going." Russell proposes stretching his arms behind his head a little.
"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."Vincent looked over now, taking note of the man who had an air of command about him. Taller than Vincent at a glance, which was interesting in itself, and almost unkempt. Altogether an interesting and odd individual, followed by with what appeared to be his personal gopher. Probably a yes man, thought the cynical ex-politician, wondering if the commanding man was being sincere or not. Evidently he decided on sincerity and took another drink of his glass of Port.
"Interested in my case yeah?" he asked, seeing the glance. "You won't believe what's in it" added Vincent in a low voice. Hopefully he would get some friendly chatter before they found out about what he had done.

Torvahk simply nods in response to Lex's smile before she left. He would have lightly smiled himself, but then he remembered that nobody could actually see his face. "So, training room this is? What all is in here, I wonder." The bird-raptor alien then said, curious about everything that was in the room and how he could benefit from it the most.

"It's thanks to the nanites in his body. His abilities come from that." Izzie adds.
"Well, I've been practicing." Peter says to Greg.
