Word has it that she's undefeated. [ he huffs. ] As expected of the champion.

[ it doesn't even look like she's broken a sweat since the duel started. ]

[vigilantics]

Whoa. That's [ hot ] super cool! We should get her autograph.

[ steph has the feeling that sandalphon has zero interest in that. ]

[melancoffeea]

. . . Yes, I suppose you'd be interested in that sort of thing. [ personally, he doesn't understand the appeal of someone's name on paper. what can one possibly do with that? ] Well, if you're serious about the attempt, I wish you luck. I doubt it'll be easy to approach her once this is over.

[vigilantics]

[ she pats his arm. ]

Except I'm Batgirl and you're Sandalphon, the archangel. I'm pretty sure we can get through whatever security or rabid fanbase fairly easily.

[melancoffeea]

[ that's called gross abuse of power.

and please do not touch him. ]

I didn't come here to wreak havoc, much less seek the signature of a mortal. That's you.

[vigilantics]

[ ummmm she's his beard. :/ ]

But I can't go places without you, what if I get lost and accidentally start an international incident because I'm unfamiliar with the customs?

[melancoffeea]

[ what is sweetums? ]

This is a casino, and you're not a child. There's no way you'll accomplish something of that level.

[vigilantics]

[ he's going to spend the rest of his life not knowing what sweetums is because he refuses to just ask. ]

Hey, weirder things have happened.

[melancoffeea]

[ are you implying that he has wondered what sweetums means since he spent an eternity in the cradle because if so then you are absolutely correct— ]

That was the castle. Things are different in the Sky Realm.

[vigilantics]

[ sandalphon, chilling in his egg timeout corner: did she just make it up? is it not a real word? ]

So nothing strange ever happens here?

[melancoffeea]

[ does it exist in this realm? ]

It's different.

In any case, I'm keeping my presence scarce. If you want to pursue that woman, you can do it on your own.

[vigilantics]

[ ugghhhhh

in the end, no matter how cool therese is, steph would not want to wander too far away from him. with her luck, someone might attack the casino or something and then she'll never find him. ]

You win this round.

[melancoffeea]

[ he knows he's being harsh by mortal standards. so if the captain later happens to hear through the grapevine that someone wants an audience with therese, with whom djeeta is friends—then good for stephanie, huh? ]

It wasn't a matter of winning . . . Hm. Looks like the duel is over.

[vigilantics]

[ stop being sneaky nice, you punk ]

-- oh! Cool, she won. [ HEARTS IN EYES. ] You know, casinos where I'm from have like... horse races, not duels.

[melancoffeea]

[ who's being nice? ]

Do they? As far as I know, this one might have them too. I've never been here until now. It's amazing what mortals will conjure to sate their desires.

[vigilantics]

I mean, at least we're no longer waving at ships full of strangers when they leave the harbor?

[ ... ]

Do you guys do that here.

[melancoffeea]

Harbor . . . ? Is that where yours drift?

[vigilantics]

Yyyyes?

[ steph does not know enough about boats to properly confirm or deny this. ]

[melancoffeea]

Exactly where do you think we are right now?

[ does she . . . think they're on water? ]

[vigilantics]

A... casino...?

[melancoffeea]

[ is she doing this on purpose? ]

. . . We're in the sky. The liner is an airship.

[vigilantics]

... skybor?

[ SHE DOESN'T KNOW THE PROPER TERMS IN THIS WORLD LEAVE HER ALONE ]

[melancoffeea]

[ . . . ]

Such a tradition is news to me. I wasn't here when the liner took to the skies.

[vigilantics]

Hm, so maybe it was a thing... when they did it where I'm from, it was definitely a good century or so ago.

[melancoffeea]

[ why? why do mortals do what they do? sandalphon will never understand. ]

You're better off asking someone who frequents this place.

[ like an employee or an addict. speaking of, between all the walking and the duel, perhaps the singularity is done with fooling around . . . ]

It's been a while. I'm heading back to the previous floor.
