Continued From: dining hall
[10:49 AM]Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S:
"Sure." Valerie gave a small shrug and took a seat at one of the nearby table. She grabbed a drink before she sat down with a small smile.
"This place sure is strange, at least, I think so. I don't know what you two think." She glanced over at the two before she shrugged. "But hey, I suppose trying something new and weird like this isn't the end of the world."

[2:57 PM]šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā:
(Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was supposed to be my response back ghsjdfkghljkfdgs)
"Thanks," Zerada nodded. She quickly served herself and took a seat at the table.
"It's- Quite a strange island, that's for sure.." @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @em | enya + mallon
[3:00 PM]Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S:
(Nah! I think em is busy i think so I didn't wanna bother her LOL)
[4:56 PM]em | enya + mallon:
āYeah, you can definitely say that again,ā Enya snorts faintly, setting her plate down and dropping into her seat. āBut not like we can really be surprised by it. I mean, I doubt secret fighting tournaments on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere are meant to be advertised or anything like that.ā @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S
[5:39 PM]Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S:
"The guy who runs this fuckin weird ass cult is...certainly..well. A guy. Calls himself "hand of god" but between us ladies, I think its total bullshit." She grinned.
"When you're sitting in front of someone who truly does have the power of a God. Or well. As I've been told." She placed her glass down and simply touched it, watching the water turn into wine.
"Neat, isn't it? But I wanna hear your thoughts. What do you two think? Forgive me if I'm being rather forward. I just can't help but be curious what others think."
@em | enya + mallon @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[5:49 PM]šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā:
"We have yet to see a display of his power, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's capable of something grand. Perhaps not to the level of a god, but one that could possibly fool others into following him." Zerada hummed. She took a sip of her drink.
"I know this island definitely has more to it than meets the eye, it's just a matter of how deep the secrets run. There must be plenty of lies hidden beneath the surface." @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @em | enya + mallon
[5:59 PM]em | enya + mallon:
Enya pauses from where sheās digging into her mountain of food, head tilting slightly as she swallows before replying. āHonestly? I havenāt really thought about it too much. Iām not really a religious kinda person but, yāknow, I admire that people find comfort in believing something like that. Though I also wouldnāt be surprised if something else was goinā on.ā
Sheās about to continue on with that thought, but when Valerie touches her glass and the water becomes wine, her jaw drops almost instantly. āNo way, what?! Is that part of your powers?ā @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[7:10 PM]Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S:
"It is." Valerie laughed happily. "I can change the chemical formula of any solid, liquid or gas! Granted I know what I want to turn it into." She tapped the glass and it reverted back to water.
"But I am with you, there's more than meets the eye here." She narrowed her eyes for a moment. "Do you two know anything about that?" She asked. "How deep does this go?"
@em | enya + mallon @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[1:19 PM]šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā:
Zerada raised her eyebrow at the explanation of the ability. "That seems quite powerful. You could do quite a lot with that ability."
She took a sip of her drink. "I can only imagine how deep this goes." @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @em | enya + mallon
[2:14 PM]em | enya + mallon:
āThatās so cool,ā Enya breathes, eyes wide as the liquid changes back to water. āDamn. I wish I had somethinā like that in my college chem labs, hah.ā
She frowns a little bit, though, at Valerieās questions and Zeradaās answer. āI dunno. I mean, the whole thing is sketchy, yeah. But is it bad if it really doesnāt bother me too much?ā @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[7:18 PM]Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S:
"Eh. Depends on how you see it." Valerie pointed her fork at Enya. "You can see it as a good thing or bad thing, but I'm with Zerada here."
"I could only imagine how deep this shit goes. And I wanna find out." She laughed, flashing her fangs briefly. "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back."
@em | enya + mallon @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[7:24 PM]šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā:
"That would've definitely gotten me through my high school chemistry class," Zerada sighed.
"I feel like it goes deep. It's quite- Culty, if you ask me." Zerada was well aware that it went deeper than most expected. She really needed to speak with the ghost again. "But I suppose if it doesn't bother you, then maybe it's not too bad. I'll stress for the both of us if you want to relax for me." @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S
[9:31 PM]em | enya + mallon:
Enya grins, definitely not having lost track for a second staring at Valerieās fangs, and reaches out to clink her glass against Zeradaās. āHey, sounds like a deal.ā
Her amusement dims slightly, though, with the amount of gravity the other two seem to be considering the situation with. āI mean, Iām not against a little bit of digging, yāknow? But it kinda seems like contestants are dropping like flies now and Iād rather not be one of āem,ā Enya shrugs, digging back into her food. @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[6:55 AM]Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S:
Valerie couldn't help but laugh some more and she looked at Zerada. "Don't stress too much. You don't want to have wrinkles on a pretty face like that." She complimented.
"Its definitely very culty. It makes me a bit uncomfortable if you want the truth. But that is how it goes, I suppose. Have any of you spoke to the staff? Know the deal with this place?"
@em | enya + mallon @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[7:55 AM]šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā:
Zerada held her cup up slightly in a motion of a toast, giving a silent ācheersā before taking a sip.
At Valās comment, Zerada paused, her brain trying to process it. ā.. Thanks, Iāll- Try not to..ā
She cleared her throat. āBut think of it like this, if thereās less contestants, then you donāt have that much competition.ā
Zerada took another sip of her drink. āI havenāt- Spoken to the staff, not yet. I want to be cautious when I speak to them.ā @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @em | enya + mallon
[11:08 AM]em | enya + mallon:
āI.. Yāknow I probably should have tried to look this place up before I came here,ā Enya mumbles between bites. āDidnāt really have the time though. Iāve explored a little bit here and there but nothing crazy.ā
She shakes her fork in agreement at Zerada. ā Sāxactly my point. Seems like theyāre real rule sticklers here. Whereās the fun in coming here if you get booted before you even get a chance to fight?ā @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[2:09 PM]Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S:
"Real sticks in the mud." Valerie huffed with a shake of her head. "If you three wish to form some sort of group that works for me. I already made some friends here and I'm thankful not to fight them." Valerie folded her hands briefly.
"But you're right, Enya. What's the point in coming if you get booted before you fight. Sure, I do understand if a participant is causing genuine problems they can leave but if its minor offenses? Why? We aren't even allowed to have someone in bed if you catch my drift. Fucking weirdos if you ask me. Do they really care so much about what goes on in the bedroom?"
@em | enya + mallon @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[2:38 PM]šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā:
āI didnāt have time either, if Iām honest,ā Zerada sighed, nodding her head in agreement with Enya. āI just saw the invitation and arrived. Not the smartest move.ā
āWell, I wouldnāt mind a group-ā Yet again, Zerada fell silent when Val spoke. Things to do in the bedroom was a topic she wasnāt all too comfortable to speak about.
In response, she took a bite of her meal and chewed quietly. @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @em | enya + mallon
[6:44 PM]em | enya + mallon:
Enya shrugs. āSure, Iām down. Safety in numbers nāall that, right? I mean, technically a little bit of snooping isnāt against those rules they posted.ā
She snorts faintly at the whole bedroom topic. āI can kinda see where it comes from if this whole island is meant to be a temple for them. Seems like itād be a little rude on our part, honestly. But even if theyāve got a whole rule about it specifically and everything, like..realistically how would they even know in the first place?ā @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S
[8:00 PM]Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S:
"That old woman can apparently see everything. She creeps me out." Valerie shuddered briefly. "Ugh...I hate the feeling of constantly being watched." She huffed.
"But I'm down for a little snooping if you are." Valerie smiled mischievously. "Always a little fun to bend the rules a tiny bit." She pinched her fingers together.
@em | enya + mallon @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[8:04 PM]šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā:
āShe sees everything,ā Zerada nodded her head in confirmation. āEven things sheād rather not see. It isnāt something she can necessarily control. Itās everything at once. Still, itās good to be cautious while looking.ā
A part of her was surprised she had yet to be confronted. Perhaps there were bigger issues that Petrai was dealing with than someone who was on a ghost hunt.
āSnooping is- Interesting, but so be careful. Iām sure thereāll be consequences.ā Zerada sighed as she finished off the last of her drink. She was pretty much done with her meal. @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @em | enya + mallon
[8:13 PM]šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā:
(Would it be okay if after this new timeskip, we call it on this one since this one was taking place at night?)
[12:36 PM]em | enya + mallon:
(yes, sorry!! had a lot going on š they can have a snooping meetup later lol)
āShit, really?ā Enya grimaces at the thought, but it passes fairly quickly. āYāknow, on second thought, I get why they have so many rules. That must suck being around so many people.ā
āHey, not if we only bend the rules, not break āem,ā she says in response to Zerada. Somehow, sheās already cleared her entire plate despite how full itād been before. āIām down for that. As long as it doesnāt affect my fight. Iām still here to win, yāknow,ā Enya adds with a grin. @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[1:20 PM]Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S:
"Freaky kinda power." Valerie looked down at the meal before she let out a hum. "Rules are meant to be broken, people say, but eh. To each their own I'll play by the rules." She grinned.
"I suppose we'll see one another later then." Standing up, Valerie picked up her plate and blew the two a kiss. "I'll see you ladies around~ā”!" And she's off.
@em | enya + mallon @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā
[3:39 PM]šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā:
āI donāt mind bending the rules, Iād rather be cautious than entirely break them-ā Zerada found that she had entirely finished her food when her fork struck the empty plate. Oh.
āY-yeah.. See you later..ā Zerada spoke awkwardly. She stood with her plate and offered Enya a small grin. āIām glad weāre on the same page for some things. Maybe we could discuss some more things later? Itās getting pretty late. You get some rest, okay?ā
She put her dirty plate and cup away before she made her way out of the cafeteria. Time for sleepys. @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S @em | enya + mallon
[3:52 PM]em | enya + mallon:
āWeāll work something out, donāt worry,ā Enya agrees, stretching her arms over her head briefly with a sigh. āCatch up later on.ā She lifts her hand with a grin, pretending to catch the kiss Valerie blew, before wiggling her fingers in a little wave at the both of them as they leave. āSee you then.ā @šVanessaš | Zeradaā”+ Kalā @Cap! | Valerie + Inu + NPC'S
