"It sounds complicated." The Kitsu smiled anyways. "Maybe in another life I'll be a cool pilot."

Nozomi nodded along. "Why isn't she being your wingmate then for this dangerous battlefield of an arcade?"

"Thank you!" she said with a bright smile, hearing the notification that it was received. Bowing in her turn.

"I would say you presume much," Ishiyo's face was red again, "Though given our relative positions you have the means to make it so."

She looked away for the moment, the little barb had hit her in an unexpected way. I mean it made sense if they were married, both were of wealth and status. And for all his faults he was someone she could probably grow to enjoy being around.

Her mind was briefly elsewhere and she squeezed the little otori harder.

Yul shrugged. "Could be." He wasn't really clear on how that worked.

Then he grimaced. "Hey, we're wingmates, but that doesn't mean we do everything together. Sometimes it's better to... not." Yul shrugged. "She can do fine on her own, anyway. So can I."

He clucked his tongue at that. "I suppose I do, you might have a softer heart than I thought when we met, but you're very grounded... well, your thoughts seem to be. I hope you aren't grounded, Inu-tai and his new friend would be sad."

He didn't look at her while he spoke, looking a little wistful, it stood out on his face.

"Well, Daidoji-san. Good talk, neh? I hope you have a good new friend there." He smiled again and bowed.

"Well yeah, but you never can tell where trying something new will take you." Tetsu winks.

Ishiyo looked back at Shokomaru, "..." She glanced down and then sighed, the Crane considered asking what he meant by softer heart....but instead, "Thank you again....it is what I was hoping I could have won on my own." A frown was on her face when she said that, but it seemed directed inwardly. Acknowledgment of failure perhaps.

Ishiyo hugged her Otori plushie and watched the Daigotsu go.

(Ishiyo is now presumably open again)

While people were having fun and games, Kuni Eriko had been standing at the line up for Driftmaster: Ignition Plus since the starting of the evening and she was still there. Her outfit tonight was a grey shirt with a mandarin collar and navy blue pants with a front tie.

Then the night started, she got a sense that this was THE game to play, despite not really knowing much about driving. Still, fared rather well with that tuk-tuk on the World of Dreams. How bad could it be driving with an extra wheel. However, as she sensed that time was running out this evening, she was beginning to get a bit nasty standing in a line that wasn't moving at all.

"Hey, what gives? I've been standing here all night and I still don't know what the hubbub is about. Some people have a really strange idea of a good time, you know?"

Day 3, Early Evening: Driftmaster: Ignition Plus, Etiquette/Awareness roll at TN15: 3d10o10k2 14

“Nice plushie,” a Scorpion man in a crew uniform said, having just stepped down from the Moshi Moshi dance machine. “I’m Bayushi Akagi, I don’t think we’ve met. Enjoying the games tonight?”

He sipped his drink.

"So, Doji-san. Now that we have a chance to talk for awhile, what would you like to talk about?" he asked

He had a feeling that she'd wanted to ask something earlier, but never quite got the chance.

"Oh, uhm," she said, tapping her chin. "Just kinda came over to check in after everything," she said, furrowing a brow. "Buuuut-" she paused as Tsugiharu responded to something. Glancing down at his communicator flashing out and then away again.

"Is that important, Kuchiki-san?" she asked, raising a brow.

"Ah I already won some tickets and gave away my tickets to some of the kids running around here." He offered with a shrug. "If you're looking for something to play, though" He mimicked tossng up a ball and swinging at it.

"The baseball machine seems to hand out alot of tickets if ya have a good eye for it."
