Trevor - "Yes. There is also a Mayongian folk tale about a clever spider spirit and a frog..."

((GM EDIT))
They chatted a bit longer, and it seemed Inka's main interest was actually folklore. Bonus points!
At last, Trevor moved along...

The table was open. Eli- "Hi there, I'm Eli. May I join you?" (ORIGINALLY...)Eli could barely suppress a smile as he shuffled off towards the next table. This must have been Godmas or something! Except, instead of fancy shoes and tersely worded letters...he got not one, but two cute guys! That almost never happened! And, even better, that Dragomir fellow was going to try to help him get a job. He could roll in the dough *and* go after one of the guys!
'Focus, man. You don't know what's gonna happen.' Eli's control over his passions was exceptionally strong at that moment. Probably the whiskey. He squashed the thoughts and allowed himself to focus on the task at hand: making friends with these two kind looking ladies he was about to speak to. "Hello there! I'm Eli. Mind if I join you ladies?"

They looked unreservedly pleasant. Some people tonight looked like they held some secretive reservations about the affair, and some did not. These two didn't look bothered at all. Inka- "We do not mind, have a seat! I am Inka and this is Florence."
Eli- "You two look like you're in a good mood. Are you enjoying yourselves so far?"
(ORIGINALLY...)Eli pulled out a chair and sat across from the pair. "Glad to make your acquaintance. Lovely evening for a party, isn't it?"

Inka- "It's great! I was jusst chalking Florence- with Travor. So charming." "Maybe he has more in common with Inka than us Glens. How are you?" Inka- "Oh, so would you like to ask us a question first?"
Eli- "Oh Trevor is an interesting guy, I wish we'd gotten to talk more. He can drop some hilarious quips if you can hear him! Well, Florence and I are Glens then, where are you from, Inka?"
(ORIGINALLY...)
Florence- "It certainly is. Fall can be bleak, but the Marchese estate is quite lively. Would you like to ask us a question first?" "A question, eh?"He cupped his chin with his hand, pondering for a few moments."Ok...What is something you wish everyone knew about you? That should be a fun one."

Inka- "It is called Sinksia now, which is close enough to what it was cjalled last chime I was there. It is beautiful, but memories..." Eli- "Oh sorry, I know moving can be really hard, especially coming to a new country, I bet. What do you think of Glenland?"
(ORIGINALLY...) Inka- "I've never thought of this question before. I suppose I do not think of myself as having secrets... Hehe, well, of course that isn't true. Um, I wish people knew that I am not a freak show act, if you know what I mean?"
Florence- "Hm. Does the question assume an outgoing nature? All it makes me think is I wish people knew to not speak to me unless I spoke to them first... Well, situations like this excepted of course. But the fact that you asks makes me wonder what your answer would be."
"Have people called you a freak show act? That really bothers me."
"I wish people wouldn't be so judgmental. I think you look fantastic. Both of you, actually. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes." Eli's tone was sincere, as much as his sentiment was trite and a skosh condescending. Perhaps it was his view as an artist, but he couldn't help but see interesting qualities in a wide variety of people."At any rate... My answer? I think I'd like people to know that I'm really friendly. Not just on a superficial level, but that I'm someone interested in making strong friendships."

Inka- "Glenland is great! All my friends are here." Florence- "Mmhm. Mama, do you think Inka- I should ask a question this time?" "Sure!" Florence- "So, Eli... Are you true to the Kru?" She must have been talking about Rap Kru, a very old school rap group from some years before Eli was born. Revival interest tended to come and go with the hipsters, but it was unusual to hear a young lady taking them in earnest. Was she serious? She seemed serious.
((Would Eli even know the names of MC B-Generous, MC Givitup, and DJ FlipIt2U? )) Eli- "Oh wow, they used to play those guys all the time at junior high dances! Man, they had that big comeback but too bad it didn't stick better. I really like their spirit of positivity."
Eli- "So you're into the old school, Florence? I'm too white to be up on what's current, sadly, so that's convenient for me, haha." (ORIGINALLY...) Inka- "Don't be sad. It doesn't happen very often, and when it does... heehee..."
Florence- "I don't think anyone would fail to notice that about you, Eli, so you're doing well. Mama, do you think I should ask a question this time?"
Inka- "Sure!"
Florence- "So, Eli... Are you true to the Kru?" Eli couldn't remember much about the Kru. It had been a while since he'd heard them talked about from some of his hipster acquaintances. Still, there was one thing... "Re-pre-zent"
"Man, it's been a while since I thought about that group. They kind of fall in and out of favor with some of the scenes I roll in. I like hip hop music, though. It's great for dancing." ((Eli wouldn't know obscure old school stuff. He would know about artists that are played at parties or are talked a lot in BADA's social circles.))

(ORIGINALLY...)
Florence- "You win. That's close enough."
Eli chuckled and shot Florence a playful smile. "Ha! I try. Do you prefer more old school artists or do you like some of the newer stuff?"
"And you, Inka? What music do you enjoy?"

Florence- "You know it. I admit, I'm mostly into party jams, which haven't been fashionable for a while. But every so often, a new one comes out."
Eli- "Oh man, you appreciate the skill it takes to craft a summer jam."
Eli- "Why don't they do dances for college? Dang... I gotta ask someone about that."
Eli- "How about you, Inka? What kind of music do you like?" Inka- "...I don't know. I listen Florence- to a lot of different things." "Inka is a social listener. She goes to see eclectic live shows, but only with company."
(ORIGINALLY...)
Florence- "I like party jams, which haven't been fashionable for a while, but every once in a while a new one comes out."
Inka- "...I don't know. I listen to a lot of different things."
Florence- "Inka is a social listener. She goes to see eclectic live shows, but only with company."
Eli asked them something about if they were into the arts maybe.

Eli- "Oh I can dig that. So are you two involved in the arts?
Inka- "I like to keep myself busy with little things. It's hard when you are wealthy and do not need to do things... You let craft projects unfinished, Florence- it can get messy." "Sometimes I perform - I sing, just to stay in shape, vocally. Most of the time... I think we are private people."
Eli- "Heh I'm usually a bit more private too, when I'm not hopped up on free food and an open bar. It's a student's dream!"
Eli- "It's interesting how many people here are related. It's such a diverse bunch. Is there anyone here you're especially close to, or is just extra cool?"
(ORIGINALLY...) Inka- "I like to keep myself busy with little things. It's hard when you are wealthy and do not need to do things... You let craft projects unfinished, it can get messy."
Florence- "Sometimes I perform, just to stay in shape, vocally. Most of the time... I think we are private people." Eli said some vomitous shit agreeing rich people have it rough, and how that was somehow interesting to see.

Florence- "Demetri is just the best, I don't even Inka- know how he does it, but we haven't "OK, Demechri is a good boy, hung out much in a while." I'm sure a good friend, but he's very boring, you know? My friend Florence- Aubrey is much more fun." "Eh, sure... You want to ask a question yet, mama?"
Eli- "Oh Demetri was great, he and Fran are quite the duo. And that Aubrey sure was a character! I've had a great time talking to just about everyone."
Eli- "Sure, if you have any questions for me, shoot. I'm not the best at small talk so I bet you'll come up with something better than me."
(ORIGINALLY...)
Florence- "Not that interesting... Any problems wealth brings are utterly trivial compared to the ones it dispels."
Inka- "Hm... Should I ask a question too?"
Eli was like, "Is that freedom rock, man? Well, turn it up!"

Inka- "OK! I'll do my best. Let's see..."
Inka- "Do you think,"
Inka- "That sometimes,"
Inka- "People could, pairhaps,"
Inka- "Spontaneously comboost?"
Eli- "Omigod that stuff is sooo scary! Like, those old timey pictures of the lady's ashes, and it's just her foot laying on the ground?"
Eli- "Like, how did it happen? And why not the foot? Maybe like, there's something in us that keeps us from exploding and those people were born without it?"
Eli- "Ooh I'm spooked. Not in a bad way! But I was just talking to that Thierry about spirit boards and scary demons and stuff. It'd be so wild if that stuff ended up being real! I just don't know..."
(ORIGINALLY...) Eli was like, "Raaan-dom!," then said something like maybe he heard of cases before.

Inka- "I knjooow! It is terribly myscherious." Florence- "Some people are interested in the Inka- world, and some pay it no mind." "I don't know if I under- stand all of that, but I want to!" Inka- "But you say you met Thierry. It is njice to hear he still enjoys the magic and a demon. Is he well? We do not talk much." Eli- "Aw, are you friends? He seemed to be doing well. Such a sassy kid. Funny he's not on the internet yet, I always figure the younger generations always get more into technology. Maybe it's going back the other way? Grandpa will be on the computer and the kids will shake their heads." Inka- "Thank you for the nice words, Florence- I think. He is my... friend." "Well hey, Eli, you're a fun person. I'm sure you're doing great at the game."
(ORIGINALLY...) Inka- "'Random'? I thought about it very carefully."
Florence- "I don't think he meant that it was frivolous, just unexpected."
Inka- "Oh. OK!"
Florence- "You mention recorded cases. Have you read about it?"
Eli was like, speculate on nerd reasons that stuff happens.

Eli- "Aww, you two are so sweet, it was so fun talking to you. Enjoy the rest of your night!" He peaced out. Boy there were some physically odd pairs, but so many kindred spirits. Wow, maybe he could use that idea...(ORIGINALLY...) Inka- "'Oh."
Florence- "That's understandable, that there would be, say, scientific explanations for some of these things. Well, Eli, it was fun talking to you. Think we're ready to move on?"
