Lost Behind The 8 Ball

[James Turner]

John had plenty of thoughts and feelings that pushed through him as Yami and Coco left. None of them good, none of them healthy. He put his mask more firmly one now knowing Safety wasn’t guaranteed, cold set eyes looking over to Rhodes as he shifted slowly.

“Mind if I tag along?”

He wasn’t going to push the issue but he couldn’t think of much else he could do given the circumstances.

[Seraphina]

To say she was happy with the change of events would be a lie.

Have fun?! Seriously?! Why his leaving was as upsetting as it was, wasn’t know to her. But it was.

The smile wasn’t returned, instead, she puts her shoes on the ground, drying them off as much as she could.

Instead, she focuses on Sonnie, walking to stand near her. “Well, I know you can dance, so, go for it!” the smile a bit forced, but it was there.

Accepting the napkins, and sticker, she smiles again, this one more genuine, “This sticker is adorable! And they glow in the dark?!” she looks down at the sticker then places it in her small purse. “I need to find the perfect spot for it then!” at home or at the shop? Many options.

Though she had something to ask the Beast, and debates sending her a text.

“And Circe, I am always good and deserving of stickers!” she says with a wink as she walks around the pool table, still barefoot, and lines up a shot.

[Circe]

Circe chuckles as Rhodes venerates fear. Then waves bye bye to Rhodes, "Bye bye bro, have fun stormin' the castle. Call me if ya need anyone driven ta ya really fast."

Then back to Sonja. "Oh, so ya didn't do drunk stupid fun in Vegas? Shame, that is part of the fun." Then she looks around in confusion, "More Moss? That sounds like a really strange club. Did it have a plant theme?"

"Huh," was her response to the glowing stickers. Circe moves over to Sonja and Seraphina to look at the stickers. "I did not know glow in the dark came in monkey. Kinda impressed ya scrounged that up Sonja."

Then the exodus grows with John included. Circe shrugs. "Well, that seems enough ta cover that fun bug. So. Though John if ya leave it'd be me spectating. Or playing winner. Plus I ain't sure who ta root fer. But ta each their own ya know."

Circe shrugs as she finished off her monkey bread and sipped her soda. Either Coco would have two minders or three, seemed enough to her, especially since the noob was, now, unarmed. So she watched the Steepscrambler and Nix play pool, while her right ear rose up to hear what John was doing, be it stay or go.

Sorry Saber Sloth, I shall do so

[Rhodes]

Sonnie is offered a smile. "That's what I'm making sure of."

The Dread Lord offers the tiniest of shrug at the offer of company. "Not at all. Miss Chanel talks the talk, certainly, but a lot happens in two years."

Sera seemed unhappy. He had to keep an eye on things. He would make it up to her at home.

Circe is given a nod. A driver may yet be useful.

Rhodes exist the scene.

[Sonnie Wu]

"Pfffft!" she blew a raspberry at Circe's suggestion, "I am way too mature and responsible for such juvenile behavior." She's just throwing those whopper lies out there, she don't care. "Scrounged nothing. You can find anything on Amazon. Like this shirt I'm wearing!" She tugged on the hem of the white top. "Wish shopping was this easy in the 80s and 90s." Sonnie looked too young to even remember the 90s, but time in Arcadia can really screw up one's personal chronology.

She grinned, "The stickers are the cutest, because monkeys are the cutest! I got several kinds. You want one, Blueberry?"

The Beast watched Rhodes depart, possibly with James in tow, and looked to her remaining two companions. "Welllllll.... this was sure an interesting evening, huh? Yami, um..." she took a moment to consider what she wanted to say, "...this night was her idea, and she just abandoned us for a strung out stranger. That's... something?"

The Monkey wasn't entirely sure what that something was.

[Seraphina]

Smiling to Circe, “She has all the best monkey stickers!” a nod of her head, it was true.

If Sera noticed Rhodes leaving, it didn’t show, as her eyes remained focused on the pool table. Maybe looking for her next shot, or avoiding something. Either was possible.

Shrugging as she listened to Sonnie, “Not sure.” And she finally seems to acknowledge Rhodes had left, “So, wanna go hit another club? Or go get something to eat? Or maybe watch movies?” she was listing off as many things as she could think of. “If not, I might head to the coffee shop and do some inventory or something.” Anything. It didn’t matter right now. "Or the Tavern, make sure we have everything we need in it."

[James Turner]

John nodded and followed along behind Rhodes, walking in step but one behind and to the left. Nothing else needed to be said, he raised a hand and waved good bye to the group making sure those two were safe as well as Rhodes. If needs be he could be a shadow to not draw any further attention to them but he’d follow the Dread Lords lead on that.

John Follows Rhodes and exits.

[Circe]

"I do not Sonja," she shakes her head in the negative as old time shopping is brought up. "I mean some of the outfits in the 80s were horrible. I mean could ya picture any of us wearing leg warmers and shoulder pads? And the hair," Circe touched her own and shuddered, "I'm fairly certain some spontaneous human combustion back then was hairspray related."

"I am un-surprised that she would have them Sera," then nods, "Yeah I'll take a sticker. To forget a decade of horrid fashion, and lucky you Sonja. Nobody made the monkey cue ball joke."

As for the question of night, Circe shrugged along with Seraphina. "We got strung along tonight," was said with a smile as soon as Sonja said the word something.

"Though this is paid fer for another hour right?" She points her soda can at the pool table. As for the other options? She finished her can then folds her arms, "I will say I've all the streaming service, big ass recliners, and can cook." Then her right ear twitches as she looks to Seraphina, "I do NOT think ya'd want me ta help inventory yer coffee shop. For," she laughs, "Obvious addiction reasons."

Tavern would be relatively safe since she'd not drink the beer. "I'm sure I could give ya a tasty dish, no need fer the fun ta pasta way yet, ya bake ter believe it."

[Sonnie Wu]

"Yay!" Sonnie dug into her bag, and after a few moments, came up with a new monkey sticker, which she proudly handed to Circe. "This one is Scratch n' Sniff! It smells like bananas!" So did Sonnie, but that was just part of her Mantle. "I was a child for the 80s. I was like those kids on Stranger Things. But with less government experimentation." She nodded.

After looking around the pool hall, she sighed and set her cue stick down. "Yeah, kinda hard to carry on a game with only three of us. Oh, but cooking and TV sound like the recipe for fun!" She nodded and grinned, "We'll stir up a good time! This joint has gone stale, anyway! Shall we leaven this place?"

The Beast glanced about, making sure she had all her things, then nodded to herself and started for the door... only to make a loop and come straight back to the pair of Fairest. "Where are we going, exactly?"

[Seraphina]

Giggling, “I actually can’t picture that. But I think we should! Could you imagine the confusion on some of the others faces if we all showed up in matching 80s outfits?!” laughing some more, “Come on, you guys know you want to!” she urges.

“But you know I’d pay you in coffee.” She points out.

Nodding, “Yeah, lets head out. Though I might need to stop by my house and change. This is not comfortable enough to eat and watch movies in!” nope not at all. Then thinking a moment and looking to the Summer, "Unless you have something I could wear?" she asks.

“Where? I actually don’t really care where we go, as long as we’re going somewhere and having all the fun!” and she didn’t have to go home.
