[uhhh]

Wow! That is really good.

[ a far less cautious second sip. ]

[dogwitch]

[Jade giggles at his reaction before pushing away from the bar.] Come on, lets sit somewhere where you won't accidentally hit someone with your horns. [She kind of works on clearing a path to one of the couches in the corner that's nearly empty.]

[uhhh]

[ Tavros takes his drink and moves quickly but as carefully as he can so all Jade's work won't be for naught, weaving his way around the people in the crowd. there's only one near-accident on the way there and the guy he almost hits yells something at him, but with all the loud music Tavros can't make it out.

it's probably just as well. he's relieved when he's sitting again. ]

This place sure is pretty bustling. Is this what humans do for fun, all of the time?

[dogwitch]

[Jade settles on the couch after Tavros, making sure to leave a noticeable space between the two of them.]

I suppose. [She sips her drink and looks around, squinting. She was really the wrong person to ask about what humans did for fun.] I guess adults have to have something to unwind with so places like this help?

[uhhh]

Huh.

[ unwind from what, he wonders. human adults must lead interesting lives if this is how they opt to destress. he falls quiet for a moment or two to watch the crowd, sipping heartily at his drink (by about five sips it's already half gone). ]

We don't have things like this on Alternia. Parties are usually just, a lot smaller and quieter, mostly.

[dogwitch]

[It's all just speculation on Jade's part. If she had glasses that were actually up to her current prescription she might be seeing things a bit differently. As there are a few couples around the club attempting to get all touchy feely in secret. Which honestly, isn't all that secret to anyone that's not dancing or otherwise occupied.]

Really? So they're just something more like little gatherings with not much else going on?

[uhhh]

Yeah, mostly that. Friends will sometimes get together, or there are, rallies—but those are usually for trolls that are more sweeps than me. They do that for, military things and, other related activities. For recruiting.

[ oh, how he used to admire the Cavalreapers. he smiles faintly and glances toward Jade again. ]

I guess I didn't go out very much, though.

[dogwitch]

Ah. I see. [She's also fascinated by what she learns about Alternia but at the same time it kind of makes her sad.]

You and me both. Then again what was there to go out to? [She laughs before taking another drink.]

[uhhh]

I don't know, there had to be a lot of things to see on the place where you were growing up as a human wiggler, right? It looked like, a nice place.

[ he kind of had a singular view of what was going on there, though. whoops. ]

[dogwitch]

Well there was the ruins and the ocean and all over the island but with my sleeping problem exploration wasn't always safe.

[uhhh]

The thing that, made you go to Prospit a lot, you mean.

[dogwitch]

[She nods before taking another sip.] Yeah, that. I mean, it didn't really stop me from trying to explore, I knew Bec would make sure I never got hurt. But it did make exploring difficult.

[uhhh]

Yeah, I guess it would. You could get into a lot of trouble from, just falling asleep anywhere.

[ his drink's almost gone and he doesn't especially want to go for another one so he tries to make it last. ]

[dogwitch]

True. Could you imagine falling asleep on the bus? [She looks horrified for a moment.]

[uhhh]

Oh no, wouldn't that be disastrous?

[ he still understands buses to be wild animals you have to catch that run in schedules and take people places so YES THAT'S HORRIFYING. ]

[dogwitch]

It would be if you had no way to get back after you woke up. Could you just imagine? You fall asleep on the bus on one side of the city and wake up on the other side of the state?

[Oh Tav...]

[uhhh]

Wow, yes, that would be a really bad situation to be in, definitely. It would probably take a long time to get back, unless I guess if the buses weren't being particularly unruly.

[dogwitch]

[She blinks at him.] Unruly?

[uhhh]

[ a nod. ]

Unruly, like maybe refusing to transport you places because they're tired, or something like that.

[dogwitch]

...Buses aren't living beasts. They're machines and they're run by people. Although they do kind of do that, the whole refusing to transport. They only run on schedules because the drivers have to sleep.

1/2

[uhhh]

[ what ]

[uhhh]

[ OH GOD DAMN IT ]

Oh... I guess that, explains a lot.

[dogwitch]

[She gives a laugh and reaches over to pat Tavros' shoulder.]

Did you try talking to them?

[uhhh]

Yes! [ he's so embarrassed, his face actually goes into his hands. ] I thought it was weird because they weren't, answering me!

[dogwitch]

[She can't help but laugh.] I'm sorry...I shouldn't laugh. You didn't know but still, it's kind of funny.
