"I haven't visited anyone who seemed wholly miserable yet...though I will grant that Santi's heart didn't seem in it. I assumed it was because he was tagging along at his father's behest, but it would seem he'll be 'selecting' as well. I don't know what to make of it." He paled slightly at Eli's description of Dragomir's table and frowned at Leo."One, you are not going to hold my hand. Two, your ineffable ability to find trouble is both infallible and eerie. Three, let's get this over with." Leo might be able to guess that this particular Quinn-Grump was born of uneasiness and not directed at her. Or not. There were many different flavours of Quinn-Grump. Though he couldn't have been angry with her because he didn't actually move away at all.

She merely smiled; His reactions were always priceless to her. "I like the enthusiasm, Q, but August is still hangin' out over there. I was thinking me and Eli hit up Marchese and Santi first, and if Lion-Mane is gone by the time we get back, then me and you can get that done."
"And relax. I wouldn't hold your hand anyways." Or would she? ..Nah, she probably wouldn't. Showing affection is something she does if she actually cares about someone. Quinn still had a long ways to go if he wanted that sort of attention from her.

He puffed out a sigh. "Alright...yes. Fine. I need a breather for a moment anyway. As for Marchese and Santi, they're perfectly fine. As I said, Marchese is a bit...childlike, but they're quite nice over all."
Eli- "Time to get sozzled, my guy."
(ORIGINALLY...) "Speaking of which, we still need to come up with questions... Best to go in prepared." As he said this, he reached out to one of the servants who just "happened" to have some whiskey on his tray. Eli also swiped some bacon-wrapped apricots, because why not?"Also, booze."

Leo- "That's good. Here, you look like you could use this." Leo handed Quinn her completely-full drink. She hadn't even sipped it since she got it? Weird. What was the point in getting it, then?
She grabbed Eli by the arm and dragged him a ways-away from Quinn so they could continue to discuss their 'plan.' Leo- "Alright, so we practically don't know shit about these guys. What are we going to ask them?"
Eli- "Oh man, I don't remember. I'm already kinda-- like, the wine's not bad, really."

Leo thought for a moment.. Leo- "Hey.. Santi was late to dinner, right? We could ask him why?"
Eli- "Oh I guess, but what if it's 'cause he had to go potty or something?"

Leo- "Well, I'm not sure what that could reveal, but sure! Fuck it, amirite? How about.. What if someone gets no flowers? Or nobody chooses them? If that's a possibility."
Eli- "Summary execution.
Haha... haha... oh that's good. That's rich. Man, I'm like... lo-quacious right here."

Leo- "Eli.."
Leo- "I'll tell you what man, If you don't get any flowers, you can have whatever ones I get. And if we both get none," She pulls out her knife for a moment, just to let him see it, before putting it back into her back pocket, "Then I can promise you we are both walking out of here A-Okay."
Eli- "Man, don't-- don't give me that. I don't need you to-- I don't have bail money, okay? Like... I can't break you out, my buddy. Come on... you don't need ta-- don't resort. To that. Don't-- come on."

Leo shook her head. He just didn't understand, did he? Although she has a hard time showing it sometimes, she cares about all her friends, and what Eli said just then seemed to make her mad. Leo- "Are you a fucking idiot? What you fail to realize is, the day you became my friend, you are stuck with me until I say otherwise, do you understand? Don't give me any of that 'self sacrifice' bullshit, Eli. I won't have it."
Eli- "I'm not gonna sacrifice anyone! Who told you that? Least of all myself! I need me! To... live."
She took a step forward and got right in her friends face; She couldn't stress the fact that she has his back enough. Leo- "That being said, if shit goes down, don't expect me to run off and save myself because you feel like being a hero. That's not how I roll, you should know that."
Eli- "Leo-- no man, no-- come on. I mean, I don't really know what you're talking about but like, I don't need-- like, girls, in my face. Or... anyone. With genders. Or otherwise."
Despite her mean look and stern tone, there was an undertone of sincerity - She obviously means what she says.It took her another moment to realize he had asked her a question."Personally, I don't care. But hopefully it would be that Francesca girl.."
Eli- "What... to like, like. Kiss? Oh honey, oh sweetie. She's like, a grownup. Maybe. I mean-- you gotta practice self care! You know? You've read those posts!"

"When have I not looked out for myself?"
She offered her arm, "Shall we, Rojo?"
Eli- "*sniff* I-- I guess so. Wait, what are we... shalling?"
She led him away to get hydrated.

Trevor took his time nibbling hors d'oeuvres while hovering just close enough the the trio that he could overhear their discussion. It wasn't all clear, but what Quinn was saying about "selecting" helped to add some clarity to what Demetri and Francesca were saying. Then there was a lot of talk about flowers and Trevor stopped listening.

((He didn't get much out of it. Just enough to know as much as they do, basically (the fact guests sat at the tables are picking members of the crew). Fran and Demy attempted to make that clear to him, but they failed. So, he basically heard Quinn say people were being picked and "blah blah flowers blah blah blah blah flower blah blah".))

((Amusingly, most of the people in the room do have supersonic hearing, so I should probably read all of this as soon as I get the chance. MuHAAHAHAHAHA! 'n' stuff.))

Leo and that one servant guy ended up here on their quest for a bathroom!"I have one right here, just need to light it." She held up her half cigarette."So.. this game. Do you know anything about it, or are you just a servant?"

Servant- "Just a servant, I'm afraid. This is an unusual event - not the party, but the game... The nearest restroom is this way. We shall come by a first aid kit along the way. Indeed, there was a first aid kit box on the wall. In little things like this, the place more resembled a business or a ship than a living residence.

She grabbed the first aid kit and opened up the bathroom door. Rather than closing it, she leaves it open so she's able to talk to the guy. Her finger had begun to throb at this point, and she could even feel her own heartbeat. So annoying. "Unusual how? Does Marchese not usually throw parties like this?"
