Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mot flinched as Lizzy began to squeal, leaning away for a moment until her words started to make sense. Battle of the Bands? The reaper scratched his chin.

"...." She seemed like she wanted him to say what he could do. "Oh um... I learned to play the harmonica." She already knew he could carry a tune decently as far as vocals went. Still... performing on stage. He'd done it a few times and survived. He supposed he could suck it up and do it again. Maybe it would be fun?

Mot nodded. So long as Lizzy kept up her end of the deal, he would keep his.

"Um.. I'm not sure. I only knew about the Battle of the Bands from you just now."



The cafe was now within sights, an open outdoor patio with gardens of thorn bushes and wriggling vines that seemed to steal crumbs from the plates of patrons. Mot grabbed them both a tabel, drinks served to them within the first minute of being there.

"Anyone in mind?"

Mot sipped at the coffee he had ordered, his nerves instantly settling afterward. "Xiu? I haven't seen her in a while. I think we should ask her to join us." The more the merrier after all. It might be easier if there were others there to share the stage. Heck, this may just be fun.

A snake woman slithered up, smiling widely. Her tongued flicked through the gap between her two long fangs as she greeted the pair. She set down some menus and slithered away.

"If she is on board, we'll need to practice a song for it.."

Mot flipped through the menu idly, not paying all that much attention to what was there. He was mostly here for the coffee. "Good question. Depending on what Xiu can play will change our options. Maybe something bluesy?"

He flipped the menu closed and brought out his eyephone, scrolling through the songs he had on it. There had to be something on his or Lizzy's that would appeal.

Mot blinked, still smiling. Why yes. Yes it was still his treat. Honestly he found it rather cute she was taking so much with her as take out. He chuckled lightly. Looked like he'd be spending more than he thought. Well, he'd not spent much money lately anyway. He had seeds to spare. The waitress smiled, taking down everything Lizzy asked for. Likely they would be packed in lovely gift boxes.

"Ah.. May I have a bowl of spider-eye soup?" He flinched and looked at Lizzy. She wouldn't take offense, right? Right.

The waitress blinked. "Which kind of spider? We have Recluse Spider, Camel Spider, Crab Spider, Daddy-Long Legs Spider.." She ket listing off their types. Just how expansive was their stock in this small cafe?

Mot stared in bewilderment before tapping a picture. "Um.. whatever this is please?" What did Mot know about soup? He'd only ever had Hel's stew.

Mot narrowed his eyes as she added more to her order.

"I'll have extra legs in that soup."

"What was that? You saying I don't need to perform anymore? Well okay." Mot smirked and handed the menu back to the waitress. "I'll also have another coffee~. An extra large one."

Sensing danger, the snake lady slithered away with the orders in hand.

Not the puppy eyes. Anything but those. He winced, sipping the last of his first cup of coffee. "Okay, okay." He waved a hand in a downward motion. "I take it back." He'd still have that soup though. If only because he'd already ordered it. Soup also tended to be lighter, easier to consume.
