She nodded, and started to look around, "Wow...I really enjoy the style of the place you have here...." She went over to a rack of T-shirts and looked at one with a Star from Mario Bros. on it, "This one's really nice. I don't know if I could pick just one." She grinned, "What's your favorite video game?"

 

Denise blinked at the really... proper speech of the dog, and watched her wander around.

 

She smirked at the question. "That's a big question. Let's see... Mario, Pokemon, Fallout, Skyrim, Bloodborne, Final Fantasy... and a lot of really lesser-name stuff as well. Like I said, big question."

His eyes widened as he saw yet another few customer enter the cafe. Being here on his own was starting to make him a bit tired. But he knew he was the backbone of the establishment and had to keep going. It was sure getting hectic, though. Not to mention having to do overtime was like a pain in the ass. Nevertheless, he greeted her with a smile, and nodded, "Alright. I gotcha." He prepared her latte on one end, and carefully wrapped up a donut for her. After which, he gave both to her, "That's $2.75, miss."

She was surprised. She had always used to watch other people play games and never really liked to play them herself due to how much they frighten her with the loud noises, "So...they aren't scary? I mean, I know there are a lot of scary games out there...right?" She inquired with a voice barely audible.

"I'm glad you got to reestablish your connection with them." He said still smiling. "Sometimes the best thing to have out of life is good friends."

 

His eyes widened slightly and his ears perked as well when Apep asked if he would like to hang out later. "Oh, oh sure. I'd be happy to hang out with you again, this time there won't be any carts to run into you with." He joked with a small chuckle. It had been awhile since he really hung out with anyone being he spends a lot of time animating at home.

Miko's ear twitched at the mention of a festival. Ruby noticed it too. "A festival huh?" She sipped her tea. Miko leaned into mutter to Ruby. "This could be the publicity we need." 

 

She looked over to whomever said it, didn't know who. "Hey. What it is this I am hearing about a festival? What kind of festival are we talking about?"

Scarlet nodded slightly and gave the cat behind the counter the money she owed and gave a slight smile. "Thanks." With that, the avian looked for a place to sit and noticed a dragon sitting alone. She then simply walked up to him. "Do you mind if I sit here? There aren't really a lot of seats open and you seem to need the company"

Apep couldn't help but laugh with Malfoy and nodded. "Ok. The only question now is what to do? I guess we could get some lunch or something." She said, her blush coming back. To be honest, she was probably overthinking this way to much.

Blitz glanced at Scarlet and despite the fact that he wanted to sit alone, the dragon gave a simple nod. "Sure. I don't mind." He said. From looking at the bird, he could tell that she had been through a rough few days at least and decided to try and be nice for a  change. "My name is Blitz, by the way. I live on a farm outside of town."

JR groaned internally at the sight of so many customers. He could not believe his boss would have him handle the fort all on his own."...This is terrible. So damn terrible." He thought to himself.

He looked over at the fox that asked a question about the festival, "Um...it's pretty much a summer thing in which everyone goes down to the nearby beach. There's a swimming contest, eating contest, bikini contest. And if you come with a date, you get a discount on the food and stuff there."

"Oh hell yeah, there's tons," Denise smirked, her long tail flicking, "Resident Evil, Doom, Bloodborne, FEAR, Silent Hill, Amnesia, all that good stuff."

 

She shrugged. "Horror ain't my style really, but I'll play anything if it's good. Bloodborne's frigging amazing!" She grinned.

She flinched at the sound of such a horrifying game. What good could come out of something that sounded so...evil? She gulped as she continued to speak,"Oh...my. Would you mind explaining to me what that is? It sounds....very terrifying....is there a lot of...blood in it?"

"As fine as you are, I've got three marefriends waiting for me at home. And if I can't get any of them, I'll keep you in reserve."

 

"Nice to know I'm such a hot comedy in your eyes." she turned back to the coffee cat. "Say, there room for live performances at this festival?"

Scarlet nodded slight and sat down in the seat in front of Blitz. "It's nice to meet you. My name's Scarlet. I'm a physical therapist." She said. The bird didn't really want to bring Blitz into her drama, so she would tell him just enough to be polite. "I haven't heard of a dragon becoming a farmer, though. I'm not trying to sound prejudiced or anything, but I thought most dragons are a bit more... aggressive."

Malfoy had a large smile appear on his face happy he was able to make Apep laugh. Once she brought up the question of what they could tomorrow he rose his hand to the back of his neck and rubbed it as he looked up in thought. "Well there is lunch or just wandering around." He said before his eyes widened in realization of something happening tomorrow. "There's actually a summer festival going on tomorrow, I wasn't planning on going but if I have a friend to go with then it would be far more enjoyable."

He said, his hair casting a shadow over his eyes. His voice also held a mellow tone, as if there was more to his story than just what he said. After a few seconds, his good mood returned and he gave the avian in front of him a smile "It's nice to meet you Scarlet. If I ever pull something, I'll be sure to call you."

JR shook his head. He could never ask anyone for outside help when it was his job to manage the place without any outside distractions. "It's cool," he said with a nonchalant sigh, "My boss is a real hardass, and doesn't like outside distractions or for me to lose my focus, so I really shouldn't accept help. Besides, I can handle it so problem."

[captainborgue 343]

Rose listened to the gym of conversation and the sounds of mingling voices. She felt a familiar urge, the need to perform, to hear her voice above crowd, to confirm she existed beyond the infinite black.

She pulled out her phone, and said "Play track 14, Escape Key, instrumental only." The sound of an acoustic guitar, the best she could do without having hers at hand, came out of the little device. Rose stood up, took a deep breath, and began to sing.

"It was sixteen years ago,
Outside an aging movie show,
I was found not knowing where I was that night.

Not a thing did I possess,
But an old blue gingham dress,
And a faded photograph in black and white.

Now my memory's not quite clear,
Even if I still can hear,
All the shrinks who said some trauma was to blame.

Light another cigarette,
Breathe in deep- try to forget,
That it's a photograph of Dinah and that Alice is my name!

Save me, save me, I've lost my memory,
I'm outside the world looking in.
Save me, save me, I'm lost in the memory,
And I swear I'm a girl that's never been.

Now it's all the life I knew,
Except I know it can't be true,
I'm not her- there's no such thing as Wonderland.

Hold a steady job somehow,
Three months clean and sober now,
Of all the ways I tried to get back there again.

Try to move on- don't be sad,
So I placed a personal ad,
I asked ' how is a raven like a writing desk?'

On the phone- out of the past,
So glad he's found me now at last,
And I'm afraid to go and meet him but I know my answer's yes.

Save me, save me, I've lost my memory,
I'm outside the world looking in.
Save me, save me, I'm lost in the memory,
And I swear I'm a girl that's never been.

Just another city loner wearing sunglasses at night,
Leather jacket- purple turtleneck- and blue jeans worn too tight.
Just a rummy by the jukebox in a casual curious pose.
But I don't know how he know the things he knows.

Well he sits down with a grin,
'Why little Alice, where've you been?
Not so little, not so Alice now are you,'

As he sips my untouched drink,
I say 'I can't be who I think',
He says 'You are, and you're not, and I am too,'

'Are we figments of our gin,
Are we long lost orphan kin,
Or the mad descendants of a writer's pen?'

'No one's seeing behind their mask,
Ask what you really want to ask',
And I close my eyes and whisper 'can you take me back again?'

Save me, save me, I've lost my memory,
I'm outside the world looking in.
Save me, save me, I'm lost in the memory,
And I swear I'm a girl that's never been.

'Little Alice, so bereft,
There's no back- you never left,
All the rhymes are still there waiting to be sung.'

And he pulls out of thin air,
A little pictured paper square,
Slips between my lips and underneath my tongue.

Shall I tell you now miss Liddell,
What's the answer to the riddle,
Of the raven that you used to send your call?'

I take my glasses off to see,
His yellow cat's eyes turn on me,
And he says 'It's nothing like a writing desk at all',

Save me, save me, I've lost my memory,
I'm outside the world looking in.
Save me, save me, I'm lost in the memory,
And I swear I'm a girl that's never been.

And he faded...

Leaving nothing...

But a grin."

The time was around 9am, at least that is what he overheard from some locals talking to one another. He would like to think he’s been wandering around for roughly fifteens minutes, but he couldn’t tell. He was not wearing a watch, after all. Though, he never did think to check his cellphone in his pockets. What had been a quest to find something to eat and drink turned into a quest of making mental notes of places to visit, one of them being The Black Gate. Ren had some hunches on what the establishment held, but he’ll just have to see when he actually goes there. Another place he wanted to visit was- “Hey, are you excited for the Summer Festival?”

 

“Of course! I believe they are holding it on the beach this year. I’ll have to go shopping for a bathing suit.”

 

If Ren had flexible ears, they would be standing so high that it would hurt and risk of falling off his head. The only words Ren heard from the two females that passed by him were Summer and Festival. “There’s a festival happening here soon?! When?? Aw man! I will only be here for a few days… Maybe I can stay a little later, though I’ll have to ask my boss. Ahhh! This is so not fair. Why doesn’t the city have any festivals?” Ren spoke to himself, making some passing local turn their heads and look at him as if he’s crazy. Well, maybe he is a little crazy. Wait, maybe being baked in the sun is making him crazy in the head...? Nah.

 

However, Ren soon started to wobbled as a surge of dizziness swept through his head. "Oooookay. I... might need a seat.” To prevent himself from losing balance and falling over, Ren slouched his body forwards and held the upper areas of his knees with his hands. The towel over his head fell to the ground in the process.

 

“Good morning. I don’t recall seeing you before. Were you looking for something?” The voice sounded feminine. Was she talking to him? It sounded like she was. Red turned his head to the side and glanced upwards. Standing there was what it appears to be a reptilian lady with grey scales.

 

“Oh, hey there, reptile lady.” He greeted her in almost a song-like fashion. Clearly the heat was getting to him. “Wait! I see you have wings. Dragon? No. No, I got it! Dragoness, yes, that’s the word I’m looking for! Sorry for calling you a reptile ma’am. Please don't eat me!” Ren replied nervously and used whatever energy he had left to straighten himself, trying to make himself look proper and at least somewhat presentable. He managed to succeed, somehow.

 

With another inspection, he noticed she was roughly the same height as him. If he’s only six foot, then she must be six… one or two. It’s not really much of a difference, but she was still taller than him. For brief moments he silently stared into her eyes only to finally realize he never did answer her questions. “Oh, yeah! What were you asking again? Um, what was it…? Something about seeing me and looking for something? Ah, I remember now! I don’t actually live here. I just arrived in this town not too long ago after walking, like, a million miles. As for what I’m looking for… I think I was searching for a building. A café, was it? Yes, yes, I was searching for a café to get something to eat and drink before I got sidetracked.” Ren gave the dragoness a sheepish smile.

Kerrigan raised an eyebrow- or rather, one of the bony protrusions above her orbital socket that gave the appearance of an eyebrow. Clearly, this young man had been out in the sun too long- his mannerisms suggested heat exhaustion bordering on heat stroke, while his words confirmed it. "You are suffering from heat exhaustion from the look of it," Kerrigan said, flapping her wings to blow air over him. "Fortunately for you, the cafe is close by, and air conditioned. The lake is only about a mile away, but I do not believe such a jaunt would be appropriate in your current condition," Kerrigan said, matter-of-factly.

 

"Your visual assessment is correct- or rather, your amended one. I am indeed a dragoness. Your species, however, escapes me at the moment. Based on your tail alignment, I'd presume a shark of some variety? Which if I am correct, then your present condition is most dire indeed. Come on, then, let's get you out of the sun," Kerrigan said, walking around to his side and spreading her wings to shade him. "This way. A tall drink of water and some time in air conditioning will help," Kerrigan said, taking his arm by the elbow and firmly turning him in the direction of the cafe.

 

Luckily, they were a mere block away, and it didn't take long to get inside. There was an unusually large crowd for this time of day, but there was a small table near to the door, and it looked as though everyone had already ordered. "Good morning, JR. One pound of the jasmine tea, please. And the young man by the door will require a tall glass of water. Please keep an eye on him, he may be suffering from heat exhaustion. I am uncertain if Selachimorpha are more vulnerable to such ailments, but it would be prudent to presume so until his condition improves," Kerrigan said, laying down 25$ for the tea- which was considerably more than it cost, but given the number of customers and the fact that JR seemed to be alone, it seemed fair he get a nice tip.

 

Kerrigan left without another word, though she gave the shark boy a reassuring pat on the shoulder. While she did not feel any particular affection for the boy, it was also a simple way to convey the message that she hoped he was feeling better, which was true. Kerrigan did not relish seeing anyone suffering, she was not that sort of dragon.

 

"Aww, thank you!" Rose said, blushing. "I'll have to take your word for it, I don't actually know if I have a pretty face. But it's nice to think that I do. Hey, did that lady say Selachimorpha? I think that means shark. I've never met a shark before. I'm gonna go say hi! Be right back," Rose said, grinning, as she stood up from her seat and hovered over towards the door. The problem was, while she had a chance to get a mental map of the cafe when it was empty, it wasn't anymore- and while she could sort of tell where someone was by their voice, she hadn't actually heard the shark guy- she hoped it was a guy- speak yet, so she had no real clue where he was. At least, she didn't until she literally collided with him, hard enough to knock over the table and the chair he was sitting in.

 

"Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry!" Rose said, apologetically, as she tapped around to get her bearings back. Her hands brushed a bizarre texture she'd never felt before, almost like skin covered in tiny teeth. It took her a minute to realize that her hand was currently resting on a leg, and her other hand was on what felt like... a face. Awkward. "I'm so sorry, heh. Ok, see, now before you get too mad, which you totally have a right to be, I'm actually blind. Like, for real. Name's Rose, by the way," she said, smiling sheepishly.
