The Captain's Table <CT>

Through the door is a ten foot hallway with pictures of ships on either side in some of the most recognizable images of them. Even the USS Challenger's explosion is portrayed, with the words 'Your courage continues today.' beneath it.

Coming out of the hallway reveals the true homey feel of the tavern has, with a plethora of different people and reploids walking about in it's Victorian design. The tables and insides of the bar all appear to be of a fine oak carved and polished to perfection. At the main bar itself, a friendly white bearded reploid stands serving out virtually any drink you could imagine, from freshly squeezed Orange Juice to anything else you can think of. The only real prerequisite to being here, is that occassionally you might be called on to tell a story to those around.

Exits:

Leave <O> leads to Torontreal - Park District.

<O-Master> Oh no, Enker eyes 'where'.

<O-Master> Oh no, Enker eyes Tengu.

<O-Master> Fry rike eagle! Tengu Man coughs.

Harmony rests her cheek in her hand, closing her eyes as she slowly drinks her cherry soda. Le-sigh, bored.. but.. it was a kind of serene bored. Not too loud, by herself, it was a nice break.

Rigger looks over at Kalinka now as she listens to the tale of her weight gain. "You've also been running around and working alot more, Kalinka. You're probably just building muscle. It weighs more than fat. Ten pounds isn't going to kill you anyway."

<O-Master> Oh no, Enker is watching you, Tengu. o_o

<O-Master> Fry rike eagle! Tengu Man says, "Dagnabbit, Enker. She's with Bowie now, okay?! ^<~"

<O-Master> Oh no, Enker doesn't want your excuses!

Gauss Coyote ponders and gains ahold of his salad, gets it to go, and strolls out, casually grinning and flicking a bullet engraved with a cartoon coyote doing a bidee onto the bar in front of Harmony. Silly maverick. Who is currently heading to the door.

<O-Master> Boxed up and nowhere to go, Sword Man says, "Just don't flip out and kill people, Bird Boy. Or else we'll take the expenses out of your allowance. ;P"

Harmony picks up the bullet, raising an eyebrow at it, not bothering to open both eyes to look it over. Stupid dog. Setting it back down on the bar with a *tap*, she goes back to relaxing.

<O-Master> Oh no, Enker says, "Kali hurts. She kicked my aft."

<O-Master> Fry rike eagle! Tengu Man looks at Enker. Stares for a moment. Breaks out laughing. ;)

<O-Master> Oh no, Enker hangs his head in shame.

<O-Master> Fry rike eagle! Tengu Man guesses she was in the Triumph?

<O-Master> Oh no, Enker says, "...no."

<O-Master> Oh no, Enker ._.

<O-Master> Ecce Potestas Casei Heilen says, "Tengu knows what feels like. DON'T YOU TENGU MAN?!"

<O-Master> Fry rike eagle! Tengu Man nnngh...phbbppbbhtteheheeheehee...

<O-Master> Fry rike eagle! Tengu Man coughs.

<O-Master> Oh no, Enker flails and baps Tengu.

Kalinka nods and grins sheepishly. "Well, it is weight in some places where I have not had places before," she admits. "...In some ways, I am growing up quite a lot. My school hockey uniform, a lot of old clothes I had from Moscow, none of it fits anymore."

Rigger looks up at that with a bit of a knowing smile. "Ah. Well. That you can't do anything about except buy new clothes."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Bass transmits, "I wish to be amused. Tell me what all of you are up to."

Bowie has fallen silent during this part of the conversation. Apparently he's aware that the wrong words here could get him slapped. Thankfully, the waiter comes by, a welcome distraction. He decides on the cobb salad and orders that.

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Gamma CO Gemini Man transmits, "Thinkin' 'bout going out. What are you up to? Brooding in your head?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Bass transmits, "The head is peaceful. I can think better there. Where are the rest of your idiot kin, Gemini Man?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "..uh... Honestly... I'm not doing /anything/. *sighs*"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Bass transmits, "What was that sound I just heard?"

Kalinka sighs. "There is other thing, too...my...um, what do you call it. It is like, dance that the school puts on for the senior students? I am going to one of those. And already I have dress for it, so...I am trying to stay one weight so I will fit into dress." She smirks.

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "Me?"

Kalinka says, "It is not even my school, but...agh. Prior commitment."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Bass transmits, "Yes. That discharge of air at the end of your statement. What was that? Are you /unhappy/, Tengu Man?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man gulps. "Of course not."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Punk transmits, "Maybe he ate something bad.."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "I think 'bored' is a better word..."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Bass chuckles. It is a sinister sound. "Bored, are you."

Bowie nods slowly, venturing into the conversation now that it's in safer territory. "Ya could always have the dress altered."

"Prom," Rigger fills in while giving Kalinka a curious glance. "You're already a highschool senior?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man sounds a little less apprehensive, "Yes."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Bass transmits, "Punk, find a task for Tengu Man to busy himself with. Be creative."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man does his best to not comment...

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Yamato Man transmits, "And send Me with Tengu, whatever he may go on."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "..."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Crash Man transmits, "Awww. It's so cute...do you two go buy matching Hello Kitty keychains? Or just trade notes during class."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "Shut...UP."

Kalinka chuckles at Bowie. "Yes, but...I do not want to change -dress-. I want to be perfect when it comes time to -wear- the dress, you see." Glancing over at Rigger, she admits, "Actually, I did finish it some time ago, in accelerated learning program Daddy enrolled me in. Right now, I am working on my Masters thesis. So, I...kind of missed the whole...high school experience. There is...friend of mine, from some years ago...Ivan, his name is. And he did invite me back to the school, to go to the prom dance with him. So I told him, sure."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Bass sounds repulsed. "They probably teach each other new origami patterns."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Crash Man transmits, "....oooh. I think I just hit a Sanrio nerve."

[OOC] Tengu Man gack. Bows out! Sanrio-sense is being provoked. Thoroughly. ^<~

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man mutters...

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Yamato Man eyes his brothers.

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Punk transmits, "What to do with you two.."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Gamma CO Gemini Man transmits, "That's cute."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Gamma CO Gemini Man transmits, "ooc mischan"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Gamma CO Gemini Man transmits, "ooc responds to stuff in backscroll lke an idiot ;p Ignore me"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Punk transmits, "Sweatin' yet?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man mutters.

I've decided that alot of you morons don't know any culture. That is why I will start the first ever Robot Masters Ballet Night! For this night I will need someone to go out there and steal me a little car and Crescent Grizzly. This will be the best damn ballet ever! Guts Man out!

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Yamato Man transmits, "Yes, I have to get back to my Meditation Room and Meditate."

You enter the Eurasia - Skydeck.

Eurasia - Skydeck

A park resides at the top of this station, which is as open to space as any place can get. Massive transparisteel windows cover this area, and pleasant grass and trees are maintained by careful gardening staff. It's very pretty, and not as dark as one might expect for a place that's exposed to space.

Lift Down <LD>: Eurasia - Empire Central Square

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Punk transmits, "Alright, here it is. Tengu, and his.. eager partner Yamato... will be the ones who find and bring in Crescent Grizzly, -while- wearing Rodeo Clown outfits. You will also wear them -after- this, and -during- the ballet, where you -will- be performing. IF you suck -too- bad, I will kick your a--es, and if you give us Elite's or Bass, -any- lip.. I'll still kick your a--. Hell, I might do it anyway."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "..."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Crash Man transmits, "Ahhh, the power of positive reinforcement."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man flusters. "I can't believe this! ..."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Punk transmits, "Believe it. I will enforce it, got a problem with it?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man just makes a general 'ugh!' sound.

The Cossack knows the song. For a moment, his gaze becomes lost, the elder Russian moving away from the cooking towards the edge of the gathering. He stands up straighter, putting his hands behind his back, staring down at the Earth.

`Kalinka'. It's just another song, like any other, to most people. But it was their song, after a fashion; perhaps not officially, since Alina's parents insisted on something more `traditional' and `dignified' to play during the wedding reception. But it was their song. He met her after a free performance of `Kalinka', one of many songs performed during that concert as a reward for military veterans. The song stayed with him ... and he thinks of her each time he hears the song, or looks at the daughter they named for it.

He senses other presences gathering. The elder Cossack closes his eyes, marshalling his resolve, and turns back to walk into the midst of the gathering. Most people wouldn't even notice the small moment; the rest may rapidly forget, as the Cossack starts meddling in with the cooking, trying to `help' everyone along with their chores as he moves down the line.

The big grill is settled onto the grass, people milling about as they demonstrate their vaunted 'Iron Chef' skills. Others are relaxing, drinking soda or whatnot, and generally taking things slow. Red Army Chorus song 'Kalinka' is playing, as a touch of irony, and the mood is generally one of contentment and easygoing fun. And lots of food, as one can see by looking at the grill and picnic tables, which are loaded to the brim.

Ten receives a radio transmission from Plasma Harrier.

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Punk transmits, "If you want to see the rest of the day, invest in a mask that covers your mouth, ya damn idjit."

Cacophony Timberwolf wanders off a lift too. Com'n, there's free food, you expect her to be far away? Not if you saw the way she ate just junkfood last night. Just ask Frostmane what their dinner dates are like if you don't believe me.

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "It DOES cover my-- ...whatever."

Ten sends a radio transmission.

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Crash Man transmits, "Boys?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Crash Man transmits, "We have....a mission."

Ten receives a radio transmission.

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man is annoyed. "What, Crash Man?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Punk growls, "You better run B----!"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Crash Man transmits, "Repliforce is having a shindig on Eurasia."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man chuckles drily. "I'm there. Well, not quite there yet, but I will be."

Your desc has been changed to 'Armor'.

Selene Chantrell spots Cossack paused, noting the far-away look to his eyes... and then her eyes drift over to the man's daughter, laughing and smiling with what appears to be her beau, and she smiles herself. Understanding perhaps a little, likely not enough to really identify... but glad that the song could raise happy memories for a few in these times of trouble. Then she lets the flow of things catch her up again and whirls back into the crowd, leaving that one moment to nestle into her memory.

Kalinka nods to Bowie. "Well, I will have to explain it to you sometime, there is much more to it than...you know, just beautiful melody." Looking around curiously, she chuckles. "You know, this is quite a turnout. All you have to do is say 'free', and 'food', and you have instant crowd! Let us see who is here...I am not quite sure I recognize many of these faces."

Plasma Harrier arrives from the Eurasia - Empire Central Square.

Plasma Harrier has arrived.

The song being played has considerably less emotional connotations for Bowie. This is the first time in his memory (scattered as it is) that he's heard 'Kalinka'. The lyrics are also lost on him, as his knowledge of Russian consists of a handful of words. He nods to Kali, "All right. Ah'd like t'know more." Looking aorund the deck, he chuckles along with her. "Go figger," he comments. He's amiable to be lead wherever she wants to go.

Plasma Harrier walks out of the lift, "Phew... it sucks getting lost..."

Ten shuffles out of the elevator and into the party balancing four enormous glass bowls of fruit salad. Through the glass one can see canteloupe, watermelon, cherries, grapes, apples... all kinds of stuff. Could Ten possibly have thrown all this together in the fifteen minutes since she stopped sparring with Plasma Harrier? Just maybe. Her face is obscured by all the produce, but it's hard to mistake those beautiful wings.

Harmony grabs a can of iced tea, since she just had a soda in the Captain's Table. Flopping down in a chair, she sighs and relaxes, popping it open. A little R&R never hurt anybody! That's what this picnic is for, anyway.

Plasma Harrier blinks a bit, looking over at the phoenix, "By the maker...?" The harrier hurries over and puts his arms out, "Here, Ten... Let me lighten your load?" The avian smiles to Ten after offering his help.

Kalinka whispers to Bowie: 'I will ... show you ... how to ... ... it. ... ... does get kind ... over this song.'.

The hum of the lift probably won't quite reach the barbecue floor, but the lift reaches the Skydeck floor and opens its doors... oddly enough, there's only one occupant... And how could you miss him? It's the tall, arrogant, demonic fiend that has, over the past few months, made a nuisance of himself. But regardless, he enters the floor, scouting out its occupants with one sweeping, angry glare... "Pffff... so the goodies are having a picnic, /eh/?" <For the love of WILY. Please don't crash this; my head hurts enough already...> (Shut up. I just want to have a little fun...)o. <Your definition of fun always involves pain...> (How observant of you...)o. Whilst his inner-egos converse or rather argue, Tengu's gaze remains flat, focused on the party ahead... He stalks out of the lift, heading over there. Not at all inconspicuous, but then again, it's hard to be inconspicuous when you've got a nose like Tengu.

Bowie whispers to Kalinka: '... ... ... ... after this song?'.

Kalinka whispers to Bowie: '... ... is...old old ... ... It ... ...'.

Ten speaks a few muffled words of thanks to Plasma and juggles two of the bowls off to him. Now more or less unencumbered, she places her two bowls on the table and peels back the plastic wrap from the top. Finally, she can see everybody else who's here! "Hi guys!" she says, waving and jogging over to the biggest group. "How goes? That barbecue's smelling REALLY great. Be sure to try some fruit salad, I slaved away for minutes over it!" Giggle.

<O-Master> Rowen says, "Yes, we all want peace. And what's the best way to get it?"

<O-Master> New owner of the Janes, Gemini Man says, "With a knife!"

Bowie whispers to Kalinka: 'Ah can ... why.'.

<O-Master> Punk holds up a crayola drawing of a headless Bass?

<O-Master> Bad Man Bass Megablasts Punk.

<O-Master> Rowen says, "Yes! Not with the olive branch, but with the bayonet. I like you, Gemini Man. You remind me of the son I never had."

<O-Master> New owner of the Janes, Gemini Man says, "And you remind me of the father I never visit."

<O-Master> New owner of the Janes, Gemini Man says, "Except I just did. At an AC/DC Tribute Band concert, no less. So never mind."

<O-Master> Guts Man says, "What would the captain say in a situation like this?"

<O-Master> Rowen says, "Don't fire the torpedoes!"

<O-Master> Punk says, "Then using a bayonet wouldn't be as benificial as an olive branch."

<O-Master> Guts Man says, "Fire the torpedoes!"

Plasma Harrier staggers a bit after taking some of the load off from Ten, then begins to make his way over to where the phoenix rested the remainder of the goods down, "Phew..." Once done, he head over towards Ten and the other goodies, consisting of a group of those he knows and those that he does not know.

After exchanging a few quiet words with Bowie, Kalinka grabs his hand firmly and almost pulls him along with her, toward where the food is. "Let us see what exactly is cooking, good looking!"

Selene Chantrell waves to Ten, sampling some of Bowie's gift of chili and smiling as she doesn't burst into flames. Much better than Bolero's 9-alarm fire offering. "Hi Ten! Thanks for the salad, it'll go great with dessert. Come try the chili Doctor Cossack brought along, it's wonderful!"

"Wow, lotsa people here. It -must- be, like, a totally kicking party then." Of course, the first place Caco heads is, you guessed it, the food table. "Smells wonderful at least."

Harmony is just relaxing, off somewhere by herself. Not looking lonely, or anything.. just watching people mingle and such. Siiip. Mm, that's some good iced tea. Brisk knows how to do it.

Ten nods to Selene, skipping immediately over to the chili vat and spooning herself up a healthy portion. Spicy food + Ten = one happy phoenix. As long as she's over here, she also takes the liberty of serving herself up a hamburger and some salad. Gotta maintain that girlish figure.

Magma Dragoon meaners over to the grill, looking at the various cooks, well....cook. He doesn't miss much, like Doc Cossack "helping" them. "Tell me, Doctor, how long have you been grilling?" Ah, a politely delivered message to leave the cooks along, disguised as idle chitchat. He eyes a steak, remembering his apearence as a pannel judge on Master Chef.

Bowie is pulled along, not that he seems to mind. "Looks like thay fixed a mess a everythang," he observes as they approach the serving tables. Finally relinquishing Kalinka's hand, he hands a plate and plasticware to her.

Kalinka looks a little bit confused at Bowie. "But...it is not mess, they have put it out very nice, I think."

Bowie chuckles as he realizes he's using colloquialisms again. "Ah meant thay cooked a bunch a everythang. A mess a somethang means a heaping lot of somethang, like food."

The Cossack bothers several of the volunteer chefs to the point of exasperation before moving on, finally collecting an actual plate and beginning to fill up; mostly with meats, but he does pick up an ear of buttered corn to meet his `things that are not meat' consumable quota for the day.

The aerial Master seems to go unnoticed as of yet... how...fortunate. Maybe he can play this out to his advantage. After all, it's not often the Demon gets to come out and play... But. He can't hurt any of them. Not here. (Damnit.)o. <Please. Just don't even think about it...> (Wuss.)o. He approaches, getting closer to the party. Feel free to notice him, folks... You can almost feel his intense gaze burning holes in the backs of various people's heads... (Mmhmm... HAHAHAHA...it's the girl, eh? That what you're worried about?)o. <No, IDIOT, I just don't want to get E-ringed... but...> (Feh. She's no fun. Screams too much...)o. <You sicken me...> Yeah, he's got that 'plotting your demise' type look going on... But for now, he waits to be noticed.

Selene Chantrell collects herself a hot dog, a can of soda, and some potato salad with a smile and wave to one of the better chefs. She doesn't mind Cossack helping, in fact he's probably doing a lot of good. Especially if he's working with the people in the white overstarched hats. She gave them those so she'd know where the fires were more than likely to be, because they are the 'enthusiastic, yet not quite that good yet' cooks.

Plasma Harrier wanders over towards the food, smiling as he browses through it, "Mmmm... all of this stuff looks good." He then grabs a plate with some utensils and a napkin, getting a double cheeseburger, then tilts his head looking at the chili, "Hmmmm... Looks like Ten grabbed a good amount of this stuff. Must be pretty good." The harrier finally grabs a can of Mug root beer and heads over to a table of some of the RF'ers that he knows.

Rock arrives from the Eurasia - Empire Central Square.

Rock has arrived.

Rush has arrived.

Rock drops Rush.

Beat has arrived.

Rock drops Beat.

Kalinka ohs! Yes, now the lights are beginning to turn on behind those bright blue eyes. "So...when you go to 'mess hall', it means only that they have a mess of food because it is a lot! I understand." Spotting her father, she mentions something to him in Russian: "<< That's a nice salad over there -- you should have some. >>" Turning back, her eye catches the demonic, birdlike Tengu, and her eyes, widen a bit as her emotions do a trainwreck-pileup inside of her chest somewhere.

Harmony casts a curious glance at Tengu. Having no idea she's met him before, she just keeps a watchful eye on him. Being by herself, it's something to do, and he's hard to miss otherwise. Taking another sip of her drink, she crosses her legs and kicks them up on something. "Hmmm.." she says, somewhere inbetween a sigh and a breath. Never was a party person, liked to mingle, but she's still tired from the early shift she had this morning. Oh well, to her, this is fun.

Bowie glances over for a moment, and gives the elder Cossack a smile and wave. "Howdy, Doc Cossack. Thanks fer bringin the chili fer me."

Cacophony Timberwolf eyes said chili as it's mentioned. "Uh, like, is that the hot stuff, the really hot stuff, or the super really hot stuff?"

Selene Chantrell giggles at Cacophony, "It's spicy, but it won't kill anyone." She notes Tengu Man on the outskirts of the crowd, but doesn't say anything. She doesn't mind, as long as he's polite. She does weave through the crowd to place a hand on Kalinka's shoulder lightly, however, murmuring, "Don't worry. He won't start anything. Not here."

Kalinka sighs, beginning to put some mixed salad on her plate. Looking over at Selene in a bit of surprise, she hesitates, then nods. (Wow, how did she just -know-?) she thinks in surprised amazement.

Kalinka asks Selene curiously... "This is your picnic?"

Rush changes into its Rush armor.

A wicked smile wraps itself around Tengu Man's face, unseen under his mask... but oh, it's a smile you'd be glad not to see. He has caught Kalinka's gaze, and the demon is...entertained. He intensifies his gaze, looking /right/ back at Kalinka. It's one of those looks that communicates one thing /very/ clearly: "I'll kill you someday... and you /know/ I'll enjoy it." <What are you doing? YaMERO! (OOC: means "Stop it!")> (Chill...I"m just having some 'fun', is that so wrong?)o. <YES! YES IT IS!> The Demon breaks the gaze after a moment, each thought of Kali squirming under it in, he hopes, utter horror, filling him with glee. He keeps approaching, scanning each member of the crowd at a time...

Plasma Harrier looks over to Ten and smiles, "How did you manage to get all that stuff here by yourself? I would've helped earlier if you asked."

Jet Stingray arrives from the Eurasia - Empire Central Square.

Jet Stingray has arrived.

Ten stares in slight shock at Tengu Man, standing near the outside of the congregation, as she sticks a slice of tomato in her hamburger. "You're... aren't you? Wow." With a tone of slight annoyance, she says, "Who told YOU about this barbecue, hmm?" In a lower voice, she adds, "Don't be any trouble... this is NOT the time or the place, y'know?" Instantly bright again, Ten returns to the crowd. "Hey again, guys!" Harrier's question is answered: "Well, I'm not sure really. I just made it and then brought it here... I didn't think of asking anyone cuz I wanted to get here quickly."

Cacophony Timberwolf doen't wait for an answer before piling some on her play with the rest of her food, despite her question. As usual, she doesn't care, as long as it's remotely edible. Tasting good is a pleasant extra though.

The Cossack looks to Kalinka, giving her a faint smile at her words. << "Yes, dear," >> he says, well-trained. He actually begins to move over towards the salad when the character of her gaze changes.

He looks towards the target of her stare, expression slowly moving from benign, to neutral, to hostile. His gaze tightens, jaw setting. He stares back at the Robot Master lurking on the periphery, not so much as twitching his plate. Let him come. He fears nothing. The swarm that would come would be sufficient to neutralize Bass and Sigma themselves, never mind one of Wily's regulars.

He holds his stare regardless, the Madman's gaze relentless. It's like he doesn't need to blink. Slowly, he advances, moving to the salad table ... continuing to stare. He says nothing to anyone about the matter.

Selene Chantrell nods to Kalinka, smiling, "I threw the first one as well. I just get the urge to throw them together now and again... it's very easy to get volunteers to help carry and cook, especially when the special of the day in the mess hall is day-old liver and dehydrated onions." She winks playfully.

Alia arrives from the Eurasia - Empire Central Square.

Alia has arrived.

Harmony shakes her head at Tengu.. some are just creepy. Sighing, she ponders getting up to go talk to people.. that -would- involve the getting up part, though. So tired. Well, if she sits there long enough maybe she'll get fidgety and have to move. Yeah, that sounds like a plan. Sip.

The lift to the Skydeck opens with a small 'hiss' of noise, letting out a handful of passengers to enjoy the park's greenery. At the back of the lift, leaning against the railing and staring out the windows to the large square below, the Reploid known as Mega Man seems lost in thought, Rush sitting patiently beside him and Beat perched on his shoulder. Rock doesn't seem to notice that the lift has stopped until a moment later, when the little warning chime sounds. Startled out of his reverie, the Hunter Commander dashes out of the lift quickly just as the doors close just behind Rush's tail. Dog, bird and boy pause to look around, and blink in quiet surprise.

"So much for a quiet night of fetch, eh boy?" he addresses his dog, chuckling softly. "Looks like there's a real party going on. Shall we go see what's up?" Rush barks in affirmation - he loves parties. That usually translates to dropped food. Beat, being the good little bird he is, simply warbles a reply, fluttering his wings momentarily. He's not a mooch like Rush. And so the trio of Hunters push forward slowly, looking interested.

Plasma Harrier tilts his head at Ten's chili, "What is this stuff like? I scooped up a good bit of it, but I wasn't sure what it was like. Any good, Ten?" The harrier, smiles, opening his root beer can with the nail on his thumb and taking a sip.

Ruination Roc arrives from the Eurasia - Empire Central Square.

Ruination Roc has arrived.

Michael Eildath arrives from the Eurasia - Empire Central Square.

Michael Eildath has arrived.

Kalinka sighs a bit nervously, caught between that very evil glare of Tengu's and her father's unspoken, yet matching hostility. Even though nothing at all's been said, she can cut that rage with a knife. She sometimes wonders if she can feel it more than others, instinctively. Glancing around, she notes that no one else seems to notice it. And still, more show up, drawn by the lure of free food.

Magma Dragoon moves around the food tables like a predator, eyeing the various foodstuffs for the taking. Only he isn't looking for the week and sickly. No, he wants something in it's prime. Prime Rib, that is. He misses little that goes on around him. He paces over to the salad table. He starts filling a small bowl with leafy greens, as he walks up to Cossack, the senior. "Do not be hostile. Life is short, and she is safe. Enjoy yourself, Doctor." He selects as dressing packet, a creamy Italian, as he awaits Doc Cos's responce.

Selene Chantrell can feel the hostility. She just doesn't let it get to her. Mostly because if it did, she's about as combatively effective as a normal shroom at the moment. She does perk up as she recognizes a familiar blue form coming through the crowd, and nudges Kalinka lightly to point him out to her. "You know, if I wanted to take pictures, I'd have quite the celebrity list for my wall after one of these nights", she remarks offhanded, before she sneaks over to wave to Rock, "Hi! Come for the free food? Plenty for everyone."

Bowie has noticed it, but there's precious little he can do about it. Except slip a hand over Kalinka's shoulder and squeeze it gently.

Cacophony Timberwolf fills her plate, then sits down to eat. But then her ears flick up sharply as she hears a familiar voice, and a familiar yap in responce. Which is followed by the thump of paper plate full of food on the ground as she drops it and BOLTS to tacklesnug Rush. "PUPPY!" Well, there's one thing that can get her mind off food, apparently...

Michael Eildath arrives. Yes, arrives in grand fashion. Walking, like a Man does. RAR! The testosterone level in the room doubles... but that might be because there's only one other human guy here.

Tengu is stopped in his little routine by the other half of Guardian Mobius, Ten... He eyes her with a certain curiousity. Like a cat playing with a mouse.

Leaving those words to mark his presence, the Beaky One goes for the lift. Phew.
