Welcome to Gaia! ::

Harrison returned the embrace. But after a while, he let go of Rep too.

B0nez didn't flinch at the hand, smiling up at Rep from where he was cross-legged on the floor. He reeled the tattoo gun in, packing it back into the box.

"Guess that's everybody, for now," He said, "um, we'll uh, keep you covered. You're not just strong, it should take a lot to hurt you too, and you have the...um, the pills," he yawned again, pulling the box in close and leaning sleepily against Harrison's chair.

"Think I'm going back upstairs..." he muttered, shutting his eyes.

"Yeah, we're done." Harrison affirmed, "There's guards up but- everyone should enjoy the party for now." Might be the last one for a while. He looked at the Silver members.

"Roar, do me a favor and bring the Doc over here, will you?"

There was a very small snore from where B0nez was huddled against the chair, holding tightly the tattooing box.

Gargantuan went rigid as Malodore approached, hoping his skin wasn't crawling as badly as it felt like it was. The doctor did good work, he'd heard that much... but something about the-- guy?--just creeped him royally out.

Clearing his throat loudly, the big man made some sort of excuse and all but fled in another direction, not wanting to be too close for long.

"Thank you so much." Cee said heavily, leaning into Candace more than was necessary. She smiled just a bit and while this close murmured just to Candace, "Ohh.. what a lovely material on your dress.."

She was still working out just what she wanted to share and if this was where she wanted to be. She didn't know if she'd be able to hop to another world and by the way their kingdom crumbled, the miasma drifting off.... she wasn't sure what that meant for the Silver denizens. In her moment of thought, Cee's eyes narrowed a bit.

In another second she was swinging her head around, glancing at the big man who came over, and the doctors whose heads turned. "Everyone here seems so.. nice." Ok maybe she was sugar coating it, knowingly, too much.

Of course then the doctor was there and she had that moment, where if she had a girlfriend with her, they'd bet on if it was a man or a woman. "Oh ah.." she knew the doctor would tell immediately that her bruise was lame so she plopped on a stool and waved towards the other girl she'd come with. "I think she's much worse off than me..."

When Sammy's lips met his own, the shape-shifter went completely still, not moving to pull away. But it wasn't out of any sort of love or attraction for the mercenary. Nuk's eyes might have been wide, but it wasn't with shock. His eyes were pinpricks, dilating wide before constricting again, his lips pulled back over his teeth in a snarl. There might have been a flicker, like a ripple of water, his teeth almost seeming to lengthen, the rumble in the back of his throat more canine...

The splash of something cold against the back of his neck made the shapeshifter jerk, spinning to search for the source of the offensive stickiness at the back of his neck, and he was completely back to normal. The teasing tone from Jing tipped him off as to who had caused it, the other guy's grin at least lacking any real malice, and so Nuk merely wrinkled his nose, snorting.

"Yeah, I'll make you sorry, Fox-boy," he retorted with a little sneer, rolling his shoulders.

Unintentionally or otherwise, Jing had defused the situation a bit, and quelled the anger which had been like a ticking time bomb. ... still... was like a ticking time bomb, but at least the timer had been reset for now.

The second Riyo's butt hit the bar stool, her head made a nice 'thump' noise on the counter top. There was no hiding it. The girl was smashed.

One might've thought she had passed out after that, but no. Her hand lifted up to tap on the glass in rhythm, but not the rhythm to the jazz music playing.

"Hey. Hey bartender. Hey. Bartender. Another drink." She slurred, her voice muffled.

She got the classic 'I think you've had enough, ma'am' line.

"I'll... Tell you when I've had enough!" Her head lifted up and she pointed at the man's face, then started to fall back. Luckily, she caught herself. This time.

"You know what bartender? This music sucks. You should change it." By that time the man had turned around to make her a very weak beverage. "Man, where's a piano? I need a ********' piano. I'm gonna play you somethin' nice." Her tone had become increasingly louder as her fingers assumed the position they would on a set of keys. "You know that one song? You know. The one by Billy... Uh... Billy... Billy Bob? Ah, it doesn't matter."

She hummed the opening tune, swaying in her seat as her fingers stroked the imaginary keys with care. "It's 9 'o clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in! There's an old dude sittin' next to me, makin' love to his tonic and gin!" To be fair, Riyo tried. She really tried to sound good. But she was no Billy Joel.

"C'mon, everybody now! He says son play me a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes! But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes!"

Then the la's and de's and da's followed.

B0nez was light, thin frame easy to lift.

Harrison waved Rep off gratefully, giving him permission.

He'd like to do nothing better than crawl upstairs and lie bonelessly on the first available flat surface for a while, but his place was here.

B0nez should sleep, while he could. Harrison, like the city, never did.

Sammy was laughing, she saw the flicker saw the ripple of the change almost about to happen. Something he rarely did but teasing him to get that close was worth it.

She spotted Jing just past Nuk's shoulder and while Nuk was looking at him she leaned to the side mouthing a simple 'thank you' because his untimely drink splash had somewhat helped.

"Calm the hell down Mutt, and stop shouting about drunks in the room before the tiger does try and eat her. Family, remember? Even her."

This was how siblings worked, at least as far as Jing could tell. "Well, too bad, I asked first." he retorted back, feeling dignified with his reasoning and let his hold on Ying's ear go. "Well there's no use in spilling cold vodka over it, whats done is done fox." he figured, grudgingly. "Actually about that, excuse me for one moment." he blabbered quickly, turning away from his dear sister for a moment only to Lick the back of Nuk's neck, the drink was still there.

"I'm not letting that go to waste, and after all, almost everyone has had their lips on you, what's another set?" he joked, mockingly and chuckled his way back to Ying with his glass. "Now then, what were you thinking, why did you join?" he demanded from the tinier girl and her odd brain.

It was always a wonder what his dear sister was thinking.
