Lost Behind The 8 Ball

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Looking towards Circe.
"Well we shall see once she is feeling better, for now I will at least take care of her anything else can wait until her body has had some rest."

Softly wiping her of, removing any food leftovers stuck on Coco's cheeks or around her lips, still keeping up with wiping her face of from sweat whenever needed.

"We shall be careful then sir, I am good at escaping should it come to it and if not then we cannot leave her alone at least not in good conscience now can we? I do understand your worry and it is appreciated but we cannot let fear take our hearts and humanity from us." It was true it could all be a ploy but to not care for your fellow lost ones, to leave them alone possibly to die now that would rob her of more than her keeper ever did.

Taking the water glass Sera pushed forwards, taking their original straws back, first using Coco's to take a light sip herself and then trying to get her to drink from the straw she herself had used last time, only a small amount of water was drank from them for herself but the indirect kiss was what she desired here, it might have been a bit childlike but the thing did feel warm inside of her.

Gently lifting the glass up to Coco.
"Here sweetie drink some more, it is always good to drink water."

Listening to her Queen speak of past individuals, listening to Coco's stories, taking it all in, still keeping up with gently stroking Coco's hair and lightly holding her, keeping her clean and doing what she could to make her eat and drink.
This might be the only chance she would have to be cuddly with another Lost in a long time, not wanting it to end she would do all she could to enjoy it for as long as possible.
Her eyes drawn time and again to the antennae waiting for another boop from them.

[Circe]

Circe nods at Coco, "Props girl," she raises her can, "Fer coming back ta yer old stomping grounds."


As for Sonja's ignorance, "Mhairi was a rather scary lady, above my level, and part of the club before yer time. She was nice," Circe chirps. As for the monkey bit, "Also yer a traceur, that kinda goes with monkey. Fer sometimes ya fall and even monkeys fall from trees."

Then the monkey sticker comes out. "Ooooor that," she points with her soda, "That could justify it. Monkey theme, wait," her ears bounce, "Wait Sonny. You did what at the Luxor?"


How did she not get shot for that? Oh right, mob town for leeching tourists. Circe shakes her head with a laugh, "Ya don't fuck with the house in Vegas. But I find if ya pretend ta be a drunk idiot tourist, the bosses are lenient."Because drunk tourists are better for the mob at the tables then in the drunk tank. Then laughs at the Beast's victory, "Girl yer aiming too high. Fer Charlie is always winning," it was a good imitation, "Perhaps ya'd like to challenge me next?" She eats her bread and washes it down, "Or is the warm monkey hoping fer a foursome?"


As for Yamiyo's comments about fighting fear, "Well I'm angry enough ta approve of rejection of fears, the scary crowd might not Yammy."


Then Circe pays some attention to Coco. What would her answer be? Coherency return or not? Well Circe was going to take a shot at interpreting the rambling, "Um? Yes Miss Chanel, that, uh, land mark is, uh, very pretty at night."

[James Turner]

John nodded, he’d understood Rhodes’ point and had been what he’d been trying to convey. He still didn’t like feeding bad habits if he could help it but that wasn’t about to be the hill he’d die on. The other hill though? Perfectly fine to die there. Though as Rhodes spoke he listened, eyes watching the man as his lips curled into a slight frown.

If they’re burying it in denial are you drowning in it? Constantly picking at scabs so you never have a chance to forget? It sounds about right. He does make good points though.

“Yea. You have the right of it.”

“You are right Sonnie, that’s where the confused label came in. Also who’s next? You are Sonnie, you don’t stop until you miss a shot or you hit a solid first. You’re doing what we call, running the table right now.”

Though his peripherals and ears remained on the other conversation. Yamiyo looked more like Nurse Ratchet than Florence Nightingale at the moment. Oh, or what was her name from Misery. She’d shown she couldn’t be trusted not to take advantage of the girl so he’d have to keep a look out. Letting people make bad decisions or no he wasn’t going to let someone be taken advantage of.

[Coco]

"No!" Coco cried, knocking the water cup off the table with a flick of her wrist.

"You've been to Vegas, I've been to Vegas, let's party like it's Vegas!" she declared, pointing at random people and then bouncing back up onto her feet.

"Come on, Yami, let's go get the rest of my party favors! I'll meet you at the club, bitches!" the drug addled Wasp declared, half prancing, half dancing, half dragging Yamiyo to the door...her cane completely forgotten in the Dread Lord's grasp.

Coco exits the scene! Enjoy playing pool! If anyone would follow after her, let me know

[Seraphina]

Spotting the stickers, “Oh! Are those new ones Sonnie?! If they are, you have to give me one! I promise I've been good and deserve one!” cause sticker!

She couldn’t fault Yami, she was a Spring, and one with her heart set on true love. But she needed to realize that she had to be careful too. “No, we can’t. But we should listen to it, it’s just as important emotion as any other. And sometimes, listening to it, gives you that second look at things. So just be careful and mindful.” Seemed they might have to talk more one on one.

Jumping back, missing the water on the dress, but oh it was cold on her legs and feet. A deep breath as she composed herself, not wanting to draw more attention to this.

And Coco was heading out the door. With Yami.

Seriously?!

“Yami, if you go, I want a call or text as to where you are.” There was no room for debate in her tone as it grew stern. But she couldn’t force Coco or Yami to stay. That would make a scene no one wanted.

So she watches, looking for napkins to attempt to dry her legs, sitting and taking the heels off.

"So, who's turn is it?" trying to salvage the evening.

[Circe]

"Rhodes?" She decides to have a little pun with what Sera said, "Has she been as good enough fer a monkey ta stick her?"

Depending on quantity of laughter or moans, they might get the pun. Circe quirks her right eyebrow and ear as Coco departs while tripping balls. She then directs at Yami, "Include me too Yammy! And video if yer date gets funny," after a pause she adds, "Or direct call if ya need emergency pickup. I'm probably the fastest driver here. I've gotten over any fear of speed bumps. Eh? Eeeeeh?"

Not necessarily safest but fast.

She then looks at Seraphina, "Let's see, Australian winter rules means the next up is," she then lifts boths arms up in a shrug, "I wasn't paying attention. Too worried about the noob. But the last one ta slap the balls while trying ta stick it in a pocket," of course she would, "Was Sonja. Rhodes? I think yer up."

[Saber Sloth]

Hey Circe Origins , cool your jets, you've been skipping a lot of people in this scene.

[Rhodes]

The spirngs do their thing. They don't always need interjection.

Yamiyo, however, was starting to grate on his nerves. Perhaps you can't in good conscience, little one. I have learned better. His eyes narrow, and whispers just beyond hearing begin to rustle. "When everythig else vanishes, there is always Fear, Miss Lillich. Do not think to tell me what it can and cannot do."

It seemed everything was settling. As much as a drug-addled woman and room of PTSD survivors could be considered "settling". Vegas was mentioned - now there was a place he still wanted to visit.

Aaaand then they were leaving. Rhodes collects the cane.

"Well, someone has to go with them," he says, moving around to kiss Sera on the cheek. "Who knows what Miss Chanel has been up to in her time away?" He sighs. "Until we know the extent of her bad habits, we can't have her taking Miss Lillich alone. Have fun, darling." Sera is given a smile, and a wink.

Calmly, unhurriedly, Rhodes follows Romeo and Juliet, the cane clacking brightly on the floor as he walks.

It seems to suit him.

[Sonnie Wu]

"What?" She looked innocently at the Blueberry Elf, smiling as she rubbed the equally-blue chalk cube thingie on the end of her cue stick. "I... did nothing to the Luxor. I don't know what you mean." And the Las Vegas Freehold certainly never asked her to leave town as a result.

"Whaaaaaat? It's my shot? Is it? Wow, I am so new to this game! Thanks for reminding me!" The innocent tone continued in response to James. Yes, she was a total pool noob, don't you know? She was definitely not trying to hustle everyone. In any case, the perfectly angelic Monkey was lining up a new shot.

Said attempt was startled by Coco's sudden and unexpected spritzing of the assembled changelings. Sonnie's stick bopped the cue ball at an unplanned angle... but somehow it all worked out, because she still sank another striped orb. Luck, perhaps? The Beast wiped water off her face and blinked her eyes.

"Yeah!" She giggled and applauded for the Wasp, "Let's party like it's 1999... in Vegas! Quick, someone get some shrimp cocktail and put on a showgirls act! And by showgirls I mean that criminally-underrated movie!" Watching the pair of Fairest sorta-dance towards the exit, the Monkey tilted her head curiously, "Wait, what club? Are we going back to Momos?"

She looked uncertainly to Seraphina, "Is Yami being kidnapped? Should I... do something?" Though, Rhodes moving to follow them seemed to suggest everything was in hand.

"Oh! Yes! Hang on!" The Claviger fetched some napkins at the snack bar and brought a handful to her Queen... as well as a monkey sticker, which she also gave to the Nix. "These ones glow in the dark!"

[Yamiyo Lillich]

The main issue with whispering to her was that she often missed the words, looking at Rhodes confused to what he had said her ears weren't as sharp as most peoples around them, focusing on lips were a good way for her to follow along in words but whispers were far to hard to hear.
Fear, Vanishes, Always, Cannot
Not having a clue what he had meant with those four words then she was quickly drawn away.

For a moment she was about to fight, about to pull away, about to be wise, reasonable and responsible but that thought came, got overpowered and tossed aside so quickly that her body barely even moved an inch in respite from it.

A quick nod towards Circe and a raised voice to her Queen, not an angry one just speaking loud enough to be sure she would be heard over all the sound around them.
"I will"

Smiling and following along with her knight completely lost to the moment.

Yamiyo exits the pool hall
