Don't ignore the question.

[ he asked first. despite what just happened, he's more disgruntled by her presence than anything else. ]

[vigilantics]

I wanted to say hi?

[ so here she is. saying hi. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ he stares, then sighs and climbs back onto his feet. ah—she's got two legs again. ]

You've said your greeting. Why don't you go back now?

[vigilantics]

I guess I could.

[ she'll get up as well, although her tone doesn't actually sound like she's agreeing with him. ]

Where are we?

[melancoffeea]

[ why now? why is everyone popping in now? ]

The Sky Realm. [ of course, given his luck, stephanie's first glimpse is somewhere indoors and far removed from the glorious sight of the skies. of course. ] You're aboard the Jewel Resort Casino Liner.

[vigilantics]

Ohh... you didn't strike me as the gambling type.

[ maybe they sell really good coffee here... that would make more sense. ]

[melancoffeea]

I'm not.

[ he has never gambled in his life the way skydwellers do here. ]

It's the Singularity. She's the one who decided to bring the crew here.

[vigilantics]

Is... that her name...?

[ she is used to people going by very weird names, but that's back home. ]

[melancoffeea]

Hm? No. Her name is . . . Djeeta.

[ it rolls off his tongue awkwardly. he's not used to calling her by name. ]

[vigilantics]

[ she could ask... but decides not to at this exact moment, considering he's still trying to kick her out. ]

That's cute. So what have you, specifically, been doing here?

[melancoffeea]

[ listen, he isn't great company and he knows it. ]

Nothing. The girl in blue insisted that I come along, so I did. That's all.

[ he's tired. ]

[vigilantics]

The girl in blue.

[ does

doesn't he call anyone by name here... ]

Okay then. Give me a tour.

[melancoffeea]

[ no. ]

Why should I do that?

[vigilantics]

Because I'm just going to follow you around anyway?

[ yea. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ like he'd know the ins and outs of this place from avoiding interaction . . . ]

We hardly spoke. Surely there are others you could be visiting right now.

[vigilantics]

I decided that I'm visiting you right now.

[ hikage and belph live with her, and anyone else she's very close to could just go and visit her if she doesn't go to them. there are certain people, however, who would not make the trip. and she's staring at one of them. ]

Come on, it could be fun.

[melancoffeea]

[ he regards stephanie with a crease in his brow, clearly unconvinced by her suggestion. but in the end, he turns away with a mumble. ]

Fine. Stay close. If you get lost, I won't look for you.

[ he will.

at any rate, he indicates their immediate surroundings with the jerk of his head. people of all races are jampacked around tables and scattered across the floor. there's laughter everywhere they go. ]

This is the casino hall.

[vigilantics]

[ she does not seem that concerned about him saying he won't look for her, since she is aware that is False. ]

There's a lot of people here... I guess some things don't change even across dimensions. Ohh, we should give it a try!

[ with what money, stephanie ]

[melancoffeea]

[ is she old enough to gamble? he can't tell with humans. ]

Not interested. We're on a tour.

[ since she insisted, he won't let her change the plan. hence sandalphon goes, moving to stand before a well in the center of the hall. ]

This is the Wishing Well. Supposedly, you wish for luck here.

[vigilantics]

[ in most states, no. but it's fine. no one will notice.

she makes a face at the well though. ]

I don't exactly trust these anymore.

[ since the one at the castle was fuckin cursed. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ word. sandalphon gives a wry smirk. ]

Rest easy. It's just superstition. I doubt this one possesses the same powers.

[vigilantics]

You say that, but just wait. Soon this place will be overrun by sentient money attacking everyone.

[ which... sounds like fitzgerald's wet dream, really. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ no comment. ]

Appropriate retribution for undue greed, I suppose. If that were to happen, it's nothing those of us here can't handle.

[vigilantics]

Still. It'll be a little funny.

[ and isn't that what matters in the end?? ]

[melancoffeea]

[ no. ]

Then it's too bad that that won't be happening.

No matter. That's it for this floor.

[ because, unless they intend to gamble (which they won't), there's no point in spending more time on this otherwise sprawling floor of vice. sandalphon will thus commence their relocation. ]
