Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Tired?" Did zombies ever get tired? Come to think of it, though Alex had never slept, there were times when he felt emotionally and mentally drained, much like Mort looked right this second. He'd even actually fainted once, so yes, entirely possible the other zomboil could be tired. "Maybe some food will help!"

Food could fix anything.

Even as he was talking to Mort, however, he was keeping an ear and an eye out for Michi, who appeared now to be getting a little heated towards Roch. Having witnessed the purple haired Reaper get into arguments with other's quite easily in the past, this didn't come as much of a shock to Alex, though he wondered if he should step in and say something..

Too late for that though, when Michi came sauntering back over towards them, apparently not about to wait for a reply from the guitar weilding boil. "Problems?" Alex gave her a big ol' 'I don't know what just happened' and clueless smile, eyes flickering over to Roch who was now getting out his phone.

And yes, brains! Always brains! His stomach gurgled again. "I sure hope so.." he muttered, looking towards the food stalls forlornly.

Michi forgot about Roch just as soon as he had forgotten about her. Things never phased the smoke demoness for very long. Doubly when she had two boils to talk to and a festival to wander. Mort was the same height as Michi, leaving Alex up in the clouds. She grinned at the two of them, and simply did what she did best; drag people along.

"It's a Chinese New Year festival. I think... with all the dragons around, it's year of the dragon or something? I honestly don't know anything but that." She moved until she was between the two of them and looped her hands (long nails and all) in the crooks of their respective elbows.

"I'm Michi by the way, it's nice to meet you! Let's go find you guys some brains!" Cheery, happy, and the only thing different was that she wasn't flirting with Mort or Alex right now. So maybe she was still a little miffed, but there was fun to be had! Considering she was with zombies, she didn't drag too fast.

"So what's so tasty about brains? I've always wondered...."

Envelope Win! (sn ramenli)

His appearance was worse than he had feared he realized. Self consciously he tugged at his shirt, looking down. He had actually been fairly curious about the event, if worried about attending with Miss Xiu-Ying, but now he felt as if he wanted to be anywhere but there. She was obviously not wanting to be seen with him, and why should she? He was an embarrassment.

He was still trying to think of how to respond when he saw a small red envelope on the ground. He crouched down to pick it up, and oddly enough it had some weight to it. It was a good distraction and he peeked inside before looking up at her, startled. "I am afraid we cannot leave just yet Miss Xiu-Ying. Someone must have dropped this envelope, and it has money in it. They are sure to miss it." He eyed it as if it was going to bite him. "Unless...is this yours Miss Xiu-Ying? Did you drop it while waiting for me? I must apologize for being late..."

"Hm? Oh...oh, no, it's not mine." She shook her head, though to be honest, she wasn't sure if they would be able to find the owner even if they tried. After all, how many red envelopes were being handed out today? Her concern didn't linger on the money for long, though, as she looked back up at Yin. It was hard not to cringe in sympathy at the state he was in.

"But really, what happened? You seemed find yesterday morning..." At the very least, he had been unbruised when she invited him to attend the festival was her. Clearly something had happened between that time and now, but what? ...And that being said, was it really her business in the first place?

No, probably not, but Xiu was a bit of a worrywart and a nag. She was silent for a good few seconds before piping up with a meek, "Does it hurt? If you need ice or something..." And so the baku began to scan the booths quickly in search of something cold that her friend could use.

Roch jumped, turning so his guitar was away from her. "Jack, Danny!" he complained. "That always messes with my head, you know that! But check this place out!" he added, looking around with a grin. "Want a meat bun? I think it's meat, at least," he said, looking at the snacks curiously for a second before shrugging it off. "Tastes good, at least."

One fire packin' best friend for back up, just like he liked it, he thought with a little grin, holding out the carton of snacks to her. "I would be greedier, but this is like my third food booth in the past twenty minutes."

Envelope Win! (sn ktqueen)

There was just way too much going on. People were really starting to show up, so things were becoming more... interesting. She stuck her tongue out at Alex at his smoke comment, in a teasing manner. Understandable why they'd be worried about fire, but she found the joke funny none the less.

"I've never eaten any brains, so I dunno. I stick to raw meat. Best stuff ever!"

And then there was someone yelling her name. It was Danny! She had been friends with this gal for awhile over the hexbox, so she just couldn't leave the ghoul hanging. Grinning at the boils, she let go of them and quickly gave them a short apology.

"Sorry boils, I'll catch up with you in a bit. I'm sure I'll be able to pick Alexander out of a crowd, considering how tall he is!"

And with that the smoke demoness turned on her heel and started over to where Danny had shouted from. She stopped for a moment to snag another red envelope that had caught her eye. Smiling she found herself in front of Danny and began to open it.

"Hey Danny! I should have known you'd show u--," she stopped mid sentence to see that dude from before standing next to Danny. The a**. Oh jack it all. This was going to be interesting. "Who's your friend?" She nodded towards the purple haired boil, but her voice was a little colder than normal. Instead of paying too much attention to him, she popped open the red thing in her hands only to find... she had won some money! Grinning, she stuffed it into a pocket happy with her win.

........ Why did it just jackin figure?

"BEST friend," Roch said, equally coldly. "So you two know each other?" he asked Danny, munching down another meat bun. "Is she one of those people I just ain't ran into, or is she one of the new ones?" The ones that could be hunters.
