He continued to gently massage the foot, glancing over his hunch to Junko and Siddie to make sure they weren't about to bat him away, Er... I thought maybe the N.A.P. club might need a bit of a primer on the equipment as well, if I could borrow a few things to go over them with people. He didn't imagine they'd have much oomf in a club for people like Master Barth to actually USE them, but going over the importance of armor and the magical red protective talisman would be useful to those who hadn't made it to Fitness. He switched feet, watching her lazy expression now anxiously, Are you tired, Mistress? You... you would be welcome to come as well, you know...

Riley bent forward slowly, plucking her foot away from his hands and staring down at him incredulously.
Wait a minute. She murmured. Are you telling me N.A.P. hasn't rented it's own supplies yet? Does Barth think I am going to pay for HIS clubs supply rental? Who, exactly, does he think he is? This new diversion was welcome, but still aggravating. She leaned back in her seat, and rolled her eyes.
You may borrow - BORROW - some of our supplies for N.A.P. today. But tell Barth that if he does not rent his own supplies for the game itself, he is disqualifying his entire club and declaring us winners.
She made a waving motion, and rested the side of her head against Junko's. Honestly. What am I, his mother?

Christof tensed as the foot was plucked from his hands, but relaxed a bit once his answer came, He... er... is... a Sloth, Mistress. Such is their nature to wait last minute on things... but... I'll er... see about the forms myself as soon as possible. Thank you, Mistress... He managed, and once she was resettled again, he scooted closer to her ankles, moving his massage from foot to calf now. She had such wonderful muscles, perfect Parts he would never dream of harvesting. But he could admire. The steam seemed to grip his already exhausted brain, heat weighing him down as he slumped to lean against her, Will make sure... everything is in order... his broken, paint-splattered nose was still whistling even as he slumped against her legs with a sigh, Responsible... Mistress... came his foggy reply before his mind seemed to drift into the static of dreamland.

When he didn't receive a response, Jericho looked over at her for a bit before narrowing his eyes at Aksaja. With the way he was currently, it was easy for him to take things the wrong way. Was the other dragon trying to mock him? He was trying to figure out if there was any sarcasm in his tone, since he really had done a pretty pisspoor job of shooting earlier.
The dragon's glare sort of shifted over towards Junko as she had added to the statement.
"Yeah. Well I shot myself. Twice. Real awesome aim hm?" he said caustically to them both. While he wasn't yelling right now, the tone was there.
Others had come on into the sauna, but he didn't really care to look who they were. He had hardly even noticed when Christof came in to speak with Riley about the NAP club supplies. Well, at least he hadn't initially. When he looked back over there, he saw the form of the Igor slumped over onto Riley's lap. Something about that brought on a sneer, probably due to his ill-feelings towards the guy. Oh right. He still need to tell the Illithid on how Christof had tried to kill him at some point.

He felt the warm air of the sauna turn his legs to the consistency of jelly and plopped his form down next to the boil with a hat, Mot of he remembered correctly. He did raise and eyebrow when he caught view of the fabric covering the reapers head and poked a finger at the brim raising it slightly. "That's pretty bold of you, wearing a hat in the sauna, wont it shrink or something?" he asked unblinking, waiting to see if the item would ft to the boil's skull and possibly squeeze his brain out like a party popper.
He felt a bit awkward, not having his trademark fur next to his skin like a cuddly blanket, but he wasn't going to bring it in like the reaper did with his hat, the smell of steaming wet fur is not one that many people could stand. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted the demon that was crossing words with the skinwalker from before in his attire and could only raise his eyebrow even further. "Well, that practice round was interesting, was it not?"

Siddie did shift her feet slightly away from Christof when he plopped down at Riley's feet - the patchwork struck her as a bit creepy - but she knew a few families with igors, and was vaguely familiar with the type's drive to serve. If Riley was his mistress, then he wouldn't get too weird when the mindflayer was around, and if Riley let him rub her feet, that was none of Siddie's business.
She blinked a little at Jericho's tone, but, well. Again, none of her business, and the heavy heat in the sauna was making her uninclined to move or converse much. She leaned back against the wall and relaxed, just listening for now.

More and more boils were coming into the sauna. Boils she knew, and boils she didn't know. Wasn't that the one Riley had been talking to earlier? He was new right? She gave him and Demi a little wave, desperately hoping more ghouls joined them now. They were severely outnumbers. She was very grateful for the steam of the sauna; it kept her from seeing there were more half or nearly naked boils around.
Why did they keep doing this?
"I need a lot more practice too. I barely hit Shehk." She sighed, looking up when someone else entered the sauna. Huh? Who was that? She could barely make out...who it...were those horns? Must have been a demon. Junko went through a mental checklist of what demons were around that looked like that.
...If that was even Altair...! "Hi, Christof.." Junko said absently, finding the patchwork easy to differentiate from the other figures in the steam. It helped he was right there at Riley's feet too. And unfortunately for her she missed half the conversation, blinking and peering up at Riley through the bangs that were sticking to her face. As Riley rest against her she giggled, giving a little nod. "Is it bad he looks to you for assistance?"
Jericho shot himself twice? How?! "Mine was an accident...how do you shoot yourself twice though?" She failed to notice the anger behind his voice.

Christof.
Riley shook her leg slightly.
Christof.
Well, at least she would make an example of him. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how easy it is to fall asleep in the sauna. Please don't let it happen to you.
To Junko, she only nodded. Of course it's bad. Barth barely does anything for himself as it is. I won't enable him further.
She stood up, stumbled slightly at the weight of him on her leg, and bent down to pick him up. She couldn't carry the entire weight of him in her arms, but she was able to hold him from the waist, using her entire body to keep him up. He was bent over her arms, but, it was the best she could do. She turned, and started walking backwards, dragging the poor thing out of the sauna.
You want naps, you go to the N.A.P. Club, Christof. She spoke firmly to the unconscious patchwork. You're due in there right now, anyway. You're going to be late. Barth is going to be ... oh, who am I kidding. Barth won't care.
She felt like she was straining her back, tugging him along like this.

"Mmmmmhh..." The hunchback mumbled, head lolling as he was slowly pulled from the warm. He was dimly aware that he was moving, but extreme temperatures and Patchworks did not go well together. Sorry, Master, I will clean it up at once, Master... blood hard to scrub.... please don't break it again... his brain was somewhere else, it would seem.

Mot smirked a bit as the canine boy poked his hat. "It's an old, seasoned, hat. It should hold up." It was his precious hat. He never took it off! In fact, he hated taking it off, hence his shyness during much of the meeting.
"Interesting as in awesome? Beats doing push ups any day!" It was a blessing, actually. He was positive the punching bag would have kicked his a**, otherwise.

"I kept tripping," Jericho practically snapped back to Junko, not really wanting to keep talking about his failures there. It really was pathetic. It didn't happen once, but twice!
Shifting his attention back to Riley and Christof while some of the others were making some small talk, he grimaced as she had to start dragging the sleeping patchwork on out of the sauna. Shaking his head to himself, he stood up and made his way over to give her a hand. He wasn't all too gentle with handling Christof, however.. grabbing onto his lower body to help lift the guy out of there.

Riley paused, for a moment, when Jericho helped her pick up Christof. She eyed her friend curiously, and then her brow furrowed as she continued walking back out of the sauna.
Once they were in the main room, she set Christof down on one of the mats and kept her eyes firmly focused on the unconscious patchwork. It took a lot of will power to keep herself from looking up.
Thank you, Jericho. For the help, I mean. I know I don't really deserve it right now, but I needed it.
Her eyes moved from Christof's body, to Jericho's feet, and remained there.

Once they were out of the steamy room, Jericho let down Christof, but not really all that gently. With that taken care of, he crossed his arms and stared hard at Riley. Her eyes were avoiding his as far as he could tell and it was still frustrating him that he couldn't figure out what had gotten into her. It was like she was suddenly ashamed to look at him.
That might explain why she practically freaked out when he came into the sauna. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that he had more or less caused the chaos earlier on. Either way, he didn't care to think that she would feel any sort of shame around him.
"Shall we talk now? I can keep this to thoughts if you'd like," He asked lowly.

Aksaja winced at Jericho's tone and quite instantly shut up. Obviously, he wasn't helping matters here, though he had tried. Really, the lightning dragon had NO idea what had crawled up the other dragon's a**, but he wasn't about to start a fight about it in here. He did feel, though, that he didn't really deserve the other's anger. Sure, maybe Jericho had messed up a time or three, but they all had, even him. Honestly, he felt like it was luck more than anything that had scored him so many hits, comparatively.
And then Junko seemed to not even notice how pissed Jericho was. Aksaja winced again and turned to the ghoul with a strained sort of smile. "I think we all need some more practice with those things," he commented, attempting to divert her attention from the other dragon. But (perhaps luckily), Jericho was leaving by then, helping Riley drag Christof out.
Aksaja thought for a moment or two, then carefully aimed a thought in Riley's direction, trying not to 'shout' at her, though he hadn't done this much. <>

The hunchback's brain slowly solidified again as the cold air replaced the warm numb the sauna had wrapped around it, but it was the sudden drop by the Dragon that made him snort back into coherency. How- when-? He shifted when he noticed the two standing over him, and almost immediately lurched upright to put himself between them, glaring with fresh and grumpy hatred as he gave the dragon a sharp shove away, mind reeling. Mistress is tired she does not have time for you now, Dragon, go away!
