Unaware of the discomfort he was causing to those around him, the drunk and slowly regaining some hint of consciousness Richard actually made grabby hands towards the coffee that Harmony offered him, not at all concerned about the water or the growing welt on his head. Why worry about that when there was a very beautiful lady offering him some sweet and delicious?
Though his vision was still doubled, maybe even tripled, he wore a wide smile, not once considering her age or what kind of territory he might be waltzing into as he gave her a whistle. "Mmmmm, I think I can manage, m'dear... you're a pretty one. I feel better already..."
Until he put that coffee to his lips, and the alcohol pulsing through his veins made it all the easier for him to make a face and gag, setting down the the coffee and now reaching for the water. "HOT-HOT-HOT!"

"You wouldn't," Alistair said, mock-horrified. He leaned over and kissed Lance's cheek, laughing softly."You might be," Gabriel said, laughing faintly. Who else had he really leaned on? Not...anyone, really.

"Try me." Lance snorted. "...And don't think kissing me will distract me. Cause it won't." ...Well, it wouldn't distract him much anyway.. "You know about my friends. I'm not that sane Angel. I just look it." He grinned.

Alois watched the pony search for affection while he listened to the two. Curious that Porsha so easily conceded to his opinion; he figured that, given her ego, she would've paraphrased his sentiments to claim them as her own. And in a way, they were - he hadn't passed them onto her. She simply came unto them herself. As the horse finally usurped his hand for a show of appreciation, he wondered where that opinion came from. She said she grew up relatively destitute - that could easily be the culprit.
And as he shifted his thoughts toward the stranger and her horse, he wondered about her considerations on the matter. Did she covet cash, or experiences? Given her lackadaisical attitude toward the declined offer, he had difficulty determining which.
Alois watched the girl silently when bizarre white shapes crossed into his peripherals. As he shifted his gaze skyward, he caught sight of a plethora of rabbits adorned with wings - and one drifted toward him as well. Too stunned to speak and infinitely curious, he waited for them to pass, either as a delusion or some fading trick from the White Moon Court. However, the new additions simply touched their foreheads in an almost intimate brush, before disappearing altogether. The entirety of the event spanned nary 20 seconds, but it felt so terribly disjointed that it left the misanthrope questioning if it had even transpired.
He reached for Porsha's arm across his shoulders, and found her wrist. He squeezed it firmly; her pulse felt quicker than he remembered, and surely his did too. So she must've seen it as well - for there were no other causes for alarm.
Thankfully the girl confirmed it vocally. She'd seen the white rabbits, and it felt as though Porsha did the same. So he hadn't lost his mind - not yet. Still wary of broaching the subject, he ventured a response to the young girl's inquiry. "Yes. I wonder if we'f fallen srough ze looking glass..." He fixated on the distance, just past the girl's shoulder. Should he tell her to leave? The bunnies could've exploded and reduced her to a pile of sopping meat and he wouldn't have minded, but he rather liked the horse. A pity if something happens to it here.
Wait. The horse.
"... No rabbits touched ze horse." So what did that mean for them?

It was Alois' attention drifting up from the pony and away from either girl that drew Po's gaze skyward, and what she saw was enough to make her stiffen beside the misanthrope, fingertips dimpling the bright plastic of her cup. Rabbits. Small, white rabbits, with gossamer wings. They should have been pretty, ethereal and magic. Instead they made the teens blood run cold as one drifted in close enough to brush a paw across her brow. It made her want to swipe at the thing, force it away, but as her arm tensed to do just that it vanished into nothing, and Porsha was left staring into the familiar street across from her. Fingers closing around her wrist made her tense, but she didn't jerk away. Instead she glances side long at the young man beside her, silver eyes a touch wide. She wanted to know what he thought about what just happened, but there was no way to ask with the young woman still standing before them. She licked suddenly dry lips, then bent forward to set her cup on the pavement before settling back against Alois' side, her now empty hand closing against the top of her thigh. Through the looking glass and down the rabbit hole. "What?" She blinked down at the horse, then back up at the young man as what he'd said sank in, and it did little to help ease the girl's growing tension. "Only us?" Did the rabbits target people with chaos infused starseeds? Was the young woman in front of them an agent of the negaverse as well? It was as if she expected something to spring out at any given moment and attack them. Some new weapon of the white senshi and their silver kingdom. It made her roll her eyes up to Destry, and all at once she wished the other girl would go away. She was a perfect pleasant girl, very sweet, very polite, but her presence complicated things.

Björn startled, already on edge from the strange little rabbit things, but then relaxed when he found himself hugged and a familiar minty mop attached to the exclamaint- "Harmony, it is good to see you. It would be your shop's tables that would be the savior scent of coffee." The strongman tried to get the drunk man to a seat- at least he was drunk enough not to be shy about accepting support. The 'nice man' compliment was a bit comical. "oh you're phone..." He picked it up as soon as he got the guy seated, palming it gently into Richard's hand "Have a set down and some coffee...at least until you're less dizzy, ja?" That achieved, he gave apologetic looks to both Arian and Harmony, "It is good to meet you. And I'm sorry....I couldn't just leave him in the street...not with...magic about. " " I do not like it. It is like the terrorists the news talks about. It could be very dangerous. No one shoudl be alone walking tonight, drunk or not. Maybe who he was talking to can come and get him." "You will both have company, ja?" He said it to both Arian and Harmony, and then blinked realising just how very small and delicate the guy was. Harmony had said 'he' makes jewelry, right? Yes. She had used He and He in both pronouns. "He is a little like a jewel himself." He said it to Harmony, sounding very plainly surprised. He felt incredibly out of element suddenly, with the pretty girl he'd kept from spilling, Harmony herself, and now a very pretty Arian. And honestly, Mr. Drunk wasn't a slouch to look at in a more manly sort of way. Speaking of, the man was suddenly making a lot of noise- Björn startled again and grimaced. "This just in, coffee still hot." litian Hello tiny pretty woman/man that makes jewelry

Harmony watched at Richard made grabby hands for her concoction. Hopefully he'd keep it down long enough for it to do some good. She tried to ignore his slurred compliments, too, out of politeness. It was hard to take a compliment seriously when the words used to form it were so slurred they were hardly comprehensible. She let him grab the water bottle from her hand and jumped as he did.
"Um...coffee usually is."
Never mind that he now had a triple shot of espresso coursing through his body. He'd live...she thought. This recipe was as yet untried but she had faith in her abilities. She rubbed his back a little bit, trying to be helpful and not look nearly as uncomfortable as she felt.
"Easy, now. It's ok."
She handed him a second water bottle, just in case. When Bjorn mentioned the terrorists she made a face. She'd had good luck avoiding all things of this nature for quite a long time but, as she saw it, the senshi probably weren't to blame. She hadn't seen any magic tonight, though, and couldn't say anything about it.
"I don't think the terrorists are as bad as they say. I've seen worse. There are others that are worse."
She'd been killed by worse, too.

Deciding some things were better left unspoken, Delilah just cast Hannah a look and half smile at the being prepared remarks. She had not always been that way but with this one has her friend, Delilah had learned to always come prepared. If she was at all the girl Delilah remembered, she wondered if Hannah even remembered to put deodorant on in all the excitement.
Blinking in surprise at the grab and the small yank, Delilah had to fight her reaction to pull away. They had been apart so long that she had forgotten how animated Hannah could be. "As full of energy as ever I see. I'll have to tell them no whipped creme for you!" Delilah was chuckling as she quickly pulled on the girl's arm and half skipped down the road. "We need to hurry though. I wanted to see if we could get a spot in the center area. I think they might have an direct view of everything. "

"Kay!" Grinning ear to ear Hannah allowed herself to be dragged along by her friend. The two of them, arms linked together weaved their way through the crowded sidewalks. Flash backs of the two of them at the county fair or at the zoo when they were kids came back. It made her happy that Delilah didn't treat her like glass, as if she'd break any moment , if anything she made Hannah feel... normal.
"So, who has the best warm drinks now days other than Starbucks?" Hannah asked, falling in step next to her friend.

"That depends on what area you are in. Though I would have to say that with the celebration, we might be best to try out some of the stands." Delilah was smiling as she looked back towards Hannah before dropping the girl's arm and reaching for her hand. They were going into the crowds now so she wanted to be a bit more mobile but not lose each other. No, Delilah couldn't stand to lose Hannah again.
Quickly she pushed the thought from her mind with a shake of her head before spotting a stand not to far from them. Pointing to it with her free hand, Delilah made a beeline. "Did you remember your wallet?"

"I did, though I only brought twenty dollars for food and some games if you wanted to do some after the eclipse ends." Spotting a stand selling various teas and hot cocoa, Hannah paused and pointed at the short line "How we grab something there and go find a seat?"

"I think twenty should be enough. With this turn out, I am sure vendors are giving discounts." Delilah offered in return. She had a bit more cash on her than that but she always carried a few extra dollars just encase. A girl never know when she would need to get a cab home or something of that nature.
"Sounds good." Nodding at Hannah's idea, Delilah stepped up and placed and order for two hot chocolates, mentioning no whip on either before shooing Hannah a smirk.
Looking down at her phone, Delilah shook her head. "Might have about ten or so minutes to find a place."

"Thank you!" Hannah accepted the warm cup of hot cocoa, the heat from the delicious beverage permeating the paper cup warming her cold fingertips.
Side stepping around a few people the two of them weaved their way till they found a good spot to sit that was unobstructed by people walking or trees blocking their view. Holding out her cup she asked Delilah, "Here, can you hold this for a moment? I'll lay out the blanket so we don't have to sit on the cold ground."

Delilah didn't dare try and drink from that cup until they got out of the line of walking. After the last incident of something hot down her front, Delilah was maybe just a tad cautious. But when they found an area, she nodded and took the second one. "Good choice. And looks like we are just in time." Delilah had glanced up when she heard someone from the crowd gasping out. The show was about to start just as she offered Hannah back her drink and dropped to the ground.

Once the blue blanket had been laid down, Hannah accepted her hot cocoa cup and took a seat next to Delilah. "Thank you, for coming to this with me." After taking a sip of her cocoa, still quite warm but not enough to scald the roof of her mouth, she gazed up at the moon watching as the earths shadow blanketed it in darkness. Hannah's eyebrows furrowed a bit when a thin layer of what looked like dust particles began to dot the sky above. Thinking it it was her vision beginning to blur she reached up to rub her eyes. Looking up again she watched the dust fall, growing in size. "Delilah?" she carefully nudged her friend "do you..." her question trailed off, her eyes transfixed on a little bunny with golden butterfly wings that was floating in front of her face. Reaching out with a tiny paw, the little rabbit gently touched her on the forehead before disappearing. Turning wide-eyed to face Delilah, Hannah asked. "Did you... see...feel that?" please don't tell me I'm seeing things.
