[ She can't help laughing, trying to hide it behind a hand. Boys were the same everywhere, and he was sweet, so she didn't mind.
This hotel is enormous and fancier even than the higher end parts of Midgar or the Honeybee that she's seen. Even so, her mouth falls open a little at the sheer scale of the buffet. ]
How many people are in this hotel? [ It comes out as a whispered awe. She hasn't felt like a little country girl in a long time, but she can't even manage how tall this place must be to house this many people. That and -- the idea that they're all playing this insane game. ]
Do you think it's organized by region or type? We should both pick some favorites and something new.
[ A girl from the slums knew that, when someone else was paying, it was always worth finding something fancy. But she also knew that comfort food went a long way when things were tough. ]
[He finds himself curious as well - everywhere they turn, there's people. All different faces, in every facet of the hotel. Too many to count, anyway. But it did make him question further why they were all here. Was every person really a part of this 'game'? Was anyone just here to be here?
The buffet only amplifies that curiosity. But her question jolts him out of it, and he realizes how hungry he is. He files away that curiosity for later.]
Not sure, but I totally agree. [If he has room on his plate, he's trying everything.] It's always worth trying something new while taking some familiar food too. Just in case.
happy to keep gen, add the magic drinks, or do aphro (she'll stop at kissing/groping though)
The first time, she didn't know anyone. She was injured. She'd never been to a city. Everyone she knew was dead.
Her heart skips. That last one...may still be true. But the rest -- It's nice, to have someone else who gets it. Multiple people, even. To be able to talk about what's going through, or not, and know she isn't alone in it. ]
Hmm...fill our plates and meet at that table? [ She gestures at an empty high top with candles and a good view of the floor -- and in good view of the floor. That was the point of this, wasn't it? A flashy date. ]
