Is that the gift for Ni-

(I ask Dana before getting cut off by noticing Lucy again in a fit of anger towards Andy. Uh...shit, what am I supposed to do? I motion Marsha to follow me. I calmly walk over to where Dinah is, asking:)

Can I at least try to hold her myself?

(I'm only really acting on the hunch from literally ten seconds ago, so like hell if it'll work...)

"Uhhh, y-yeaaa, Andy, a'don't think tha'Nori woulda hired a couple a'—" [ANDY! I look over at Lucy, and ohhhh, she's in a fighting mood. I decide to edge closer to Andy to get precisely between him and Lucy—oh, Dana's here, too? Damn, we're getting crowded here...oh, shit, I just realized that...yea, she'd know who I am. The mercenaries probably wouldn't, I'll shoot that at them once I get the chance to.]

"Uh, hey, Dana. We're just, uhhhh...kinda all...gathered here." [Though I do feel a little better about it, I'd rather not go into the details...] "And yea, it was a, uhh, a singing contest, though I think y'can just play an instrument 'r somethin', I dunno, she never specified." [Right! Moving on...] ...whatcha got in the bag there?"


(Happy, and I'm smiling, walking miles to drink your water...)

"Oh, yea, that stuff. I haven't tried any R-Soda before, but I've heard it's pretty good. Soda's not really for me, it's the bubbles that get to me." Thinking nothing much of it, she decides to sit down beside Raumati, her rather overstuffed backpack accentuating her downward motion.

"I don't do caffiene...ya dig?" For a moment, she's a little embarrassed at her attempt to copy Raumati's hip style, but she continues. "I just never had the need for it, really. These last few nights have been the latest I've had to stay up in the longest time, and...well, my schedule got thrown out of whack, as you can probably guess why..." She grumbles to herself; despite the cushion of time that taking a carriage would allow her, there's still the nagging feeling that she'd rather be helping out in Hoard instead of spending time here at the festival.

(Lucy hangs her head as Marsha walks over. A tear slips down Lucy's face. Dinah uneasily hands Lucy off to Marlon.)

Gosh, Marly, what do we do? (Marsha asks Marlon.)

I'm wondering the same thing... (Dinah says.)

I wish I could offer a suggestion, but this isn't something I've dealt with before... (I add.) Uh...Lucy, you never answered Lilly's question....

(Lucy looks in Lilly's direction, but says nothing still.)

Andy doesn't pay mind to Lucy. He knows even if he did, there's no point. She will never think he's a good guy. And that was fine. So you wouldn't kill children, would you?

"Unless it was some weird scenario involving a demon child with incredible intelligence who was blowing things up with his mind or some shit like that, no, absolutely not.", Wendy beamed back at Andy.

Chang held out a hand to the Gastrodon and said, "Hold, Wendy, the Honedge probably has his reasons for asking such things. Don't start to get sassy yet. I can confirm what my associate said, we would never kill a child."

Noriaki holds his forehead and just stares at Andy indignantly.

"For the gods's sake, Andy....", he mutters.

She looks everyone over. "Who are these?"

(Lucy sighs and climbs down. She walks over to Lilly.) What sort of names were you thinking of? (She asks her.)

I saw him by all the shops not too long ago, Dana...he was lookin' fer you. Maybe he's still waitin' there by the plaza or somethin'? *Lilly answers quickly before turning to Lucy with a smile on her face*

I dunno, never been good with names. Maybe something with the L? Yanno, 'cause both our names start with L! *Lilly ponders on that for a bit, then adds* What kinda music d'ya like?


*Jani turns to Finley to say* Mercenaries...and hey, welcome back. *before getting close and whispering* How'd it go with...I mean, you told her right?

[A gift for Niles? Come to think of it...we're responsible enough at-least-teenagers, I'm not really too concerned with him being off unless he's gotten himself into trouble. He better not have gotten himself into trouble. There's gonna be some hell to pay if he does.]

[And then Andy's question deprives me of several of my brain cells. I can feel them burn away in my skull.] "ANDY!" [I throw my arms into the air. Why the hell would he ask about that?! What is this, damage control for the bar you busted?!]

"Sorry about that," [I say to Wendy and Chang, pinching the bridge of my snout,] "he can be a little...uhhh..." [I roll my hand, but no word comes to me. I can merely grunt in annoyance. I'm sure there was a genuine concern he had, thinking on it, but who asks that? That's just something they'll end up offhandedly mention if they would kill children...right?]

"Anyway, I...uhhh..." [I feel like I was supposed to mention something to them, but I forgot what I was going to say... I put one hand on my hip and another to my cheek as my tail sways back and forth, trying to go over what I had planned on saying to them...]

I was given waaaay too much time to think to myself. (Aw, shit biscuits, I made myself sad.) I've been blankly staring at the fountain and surrounding area while wallowing in self-pity.

If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away.

I like nice quiet songs like the lullaby my mama used to sing to me when I was a baby...um... (Lucy says to Lilly.) And...um..."Two Ls" was the first name I thought of, but that's boring...um...

(Lucy turns to Eliot and taps him on the tail.) Eliot? What should Lilly and I call ourselves?


I sure hope so too, Marly. (Marsha says, nodding.)

Yeah, (I say.) I was getting a bit worried for a second. She was so fixated on Andy that she didn't notice Lilly talking to her at first...

I hope she will learn to get past this... (Dinah says as she watches Lucy interact with Lilly and Eliot.) I know that she's still hurting from what happened to her parents, but if she keeps going on like that she won't be able to make many friends...or worse, drive away the ones she does have...

"I understand, I don't expect everyone to be as amicable as most of you have been."

Chang takes Finley's paw and greets her in return, "Nice to meet you, Miss. I'm Chang, the amorphous lady there is Wendy."

Wendy just scoffs at Andy after Eliot apologizes on his behalf and looks to the latter, "I suppose it can't be helped."

She then spoke the anyone near Lucy, "Cover the kid's ears real quick."

"I wasn't expecting a floating metal dildo to know much on appropriate conversation, anyway.", the Gastrodon said in a rather smug tone once Lucy's ears were protected..

Raumati sighed, shaking his head. He knew exactly what Merna was talking about. "Yeah, yeah... believe me, them guys from the beyond really got shaken up. Eh, they get over it fast, now. Move onto the next thing. Like the Hoard elections. Get worked up like the riots didn't even happen, hehehe..."

After a pause, he began to rub his temples with his free hand, to symbolise a 'significant' thought process. "Say, Steeler, m'lady... ya seem a li'l psyched up, yanno. Somethin' on your mind?"

*Jani nods to Finley and just half-listens for now, all the while thinking about things like when it'd be a good time to use the orb and such. She starts even obfuscating her thoughts again when she realizes that even that could be a tell. That...worries her, a lot...she hopes the party won't step into Orichalcum, but what about Marlon.

[Almost on cue, before I can answer Lucy's question, I bend down to cover Lucy's virgin ears to protect her from whatever foul language these uncouth mercenaries will conjure up—] "Pfffftt, ahaHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAheheheheh...aaahhhhhhhh..." [I stand back up again, uncovering her ears, still recovering from the comedic shock of that remark. I'm totally cribbing that from her.]

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ehehehehee...give me a moment...god, kid, you shoulda heard that..." [I paw at the air, devolving into contained chortles before I feel like I've worked it out of my system. No, wait, another little chuckle. Okay, I'm good.] "Uhhh...hmmmm...good name for the two of ya..." [I still have to snicker at that lovely insult...it honestly beats out "tick" any day of the week, we may have to keep him like this so we can still use it. Right, name, name...]

"...uh...Lil and Luc? Keepin' it simple here...aaaaaaand I can't really think of anything else." [I tap on my head, jog the odd noggin...] "...maybe, uhhh...Lilac?" [I shrug and let out a defeated groan: the creative juices just aren't really flowing as they should.]


(You know I love to love you, and above you, there's no other...)

"Well, it's...Hoard, actually." She hangs her head a little, lets it lean to one side. "I, uh...I ran away when the..." She stops for a moment to make a mental backspace. "When the riots started..."

Huh? (Lucy says when Eliot covers her ears. After Eliot uncovers them, she can't help but wonder whatever it was that Wendy said that was so funny.)

Hmm...neither of those sound boring. (Lucy says, scratching her head. She turns to Lilly.) What do you think, Lilly? (Lucy asks Lilly.)

Oooh...burn...! (Marsha snickers. Dinah in particular looks embarrassed to have heard that, but she can't help but feel that Andy had that coming (and she's glad Lucy didn't hear it).)

Raumati once again idly tapped his bone against the ground, nodding as he listened to Merna's testimony. "Yeah, sounds familiar, yanno... without wishin' to be culturally insensitive an' that jazz, maybe... that business just isn't for ya? Give peace a chance, is what I'm sayin'..."

Having said this, he, in a seemingly spur-of-the-moment decision, took his bone and struck it against a nearby rock, producing a blue illusory flame. He held the flame close to his face, taking a deep gaze and a deep breath, looking contended. "Hmmmm... eh, sorry, I was meanin' to let you have a go. It's pretty mesmerisin'. Lets you get a handle on things. The flames ain't flames, don't worry. They're spiritual presences. ...Maybe one of 'em can offer some kinda opinion on your current pre-dicament," he said half-jokingly, smirking as he held out the ghostly flame to the Pawniard.

Andy doesn't much care about everyone's response to his question. He even chuckles a bit at his nickname. But since working in the Bedsheets, and resolving to murder them, he feels an uneasiness around mercenaries, bounty hunters, and the like.

He also notices Finley and Mila's return. Welcome back, ladies.
