There seemed to be a lot of commotion today. In a fit of exploration, a young girl with average stature and long blonde hair wound up here at random thanks to her magic instrument, and she recognized the place immediately: Mickey's Castle. She's never actually been here, but she's seen enough about it to understand what goes on here. Talk about right place right time though, the place was crowded!
Today the palace was open to the general public; namely adventurers, in order to generate a meet-and-greet vibe so all the powers in the galaxies that wanted to do good could be aware of each other, and what bad guys would want to be around a convention of hundreds that could easily stop them? There were guards around, mysterious-looking knights in cobalt armor with glowing white eyes behind their full-faced helmets. Someone who didn't know better would probably assume it was a Heartless, albeit lacking the distinct black emblem anywhere.
Actually, now that the girl looked around, there were quite a few of them. Seems Disney Castle didn't take security lightly, even if the place was full of heroes. Well, she only knew that because of the sign nearby that says 'Come on in, we're full of Heroes!' It literally couldn't be more convenient. JessY never considered herself a hero really, but she was far from a bad guy. Why not check it out?
Casually strolling up to the massive, yet open doors, she could see there was no specific attraction going on yet and nothing keeping the masses organized in terms of entering or leaving but there seemed to be a makeshift, portable stage set up and empty. Everything looked too neat and tidy for the assumption that she missed whatever was going to happen there, so perhaps everyone was just arriving and chatting until... well, something happened!
She was terribly out of place though. She didn't have any visible weapons or armor like most of the 'heroes' here did. It was safe to assume that anyone without an obvious sword or mace was a keyblader, since those things could be summoned at will, making her wonder if she'll be mistaken for one later. It didn't take her long to find refreshments though, immediately swarming to the table with a big bowl of red punch and taking a cup. It was sweet and fruity, just what she needed right now.
Beyond her punch, she would simply observe. She was awfully curious; about the people here, and what was going to happen later. It seemed like a good time to wait, however.

"So remind me why I'm in this fancy-ass looking castle again? Not that I don't trust you, Troy, it's just that I'm kind of losing the plot here. I also have trouble trusting you though."
"For the last time, the castle is opening it's gates to the public for once and I've heard from a reliable source that a certain wing of the castle won't be as heavily guarded. A wing that has a few valuables that I'm sure his majesty wouldn't notice missing."
Smirking a bit, Nero would rub the back of his neck while shaking his head. Of course, Trojia wouldn't actually be there with the young man, no, the boy's mentor would be sitting outside of the castle in the safety of a Gummi Ship while Nero would have to do all of the leg work. Pretty typical. "Right, how could I forget I'm going to be playing the part of a thief today. You do realize you've picked a day where this place is going to be crawling with goody-goody idiots, correct? I'm sure it'd be one of these jackasses wet-dream to stop a thief in Disney Castle." Holding a finger to his ear as he spoke, Nero would be extra careful as he talked to his mentor through the transceiver in his ear. It was bad enough the teen was being forced to pose as a hero for the sake of this heist, he'd rather not look like an insane person talking to himself in front of these self-righteous losers. Granted, the way he talked to his dog could most likely be labeled as 'talking to himself,' but he'd cross that bridge when he got there.
"Yeah, yeah. Smart-ass. Just keep out of trouble and stay in character and you'll be fine. Though, if it does hit the fan, I got your back, kid." Smiling a bit, Nero muted the transceiver on his end, as he doubted Troy would want to here the mingling he would have to do to pass the time before he could have a chance to break away from the group of 'heroes,' whatever that title meant to them. "Well, how comforting to know my only back up here in a castle full of guards and meat-headed heroes is an old-ass man.... who smokes heavily. Great, great life choices so far, Nero." It wasn't all bad, at least Nero had his trusty mutt with him, but he'd be lying if he said having Koji with him would be enough to make him comfortable with this job. Nero had to do a lot of things that made him question his morality in his line of work, but straight-up thievery was never something that Nero fancied. But, when having a business partner like Trojia, one would be surprised how fast they wind up to their eyeballs in debts. He really needed to rethink keeping his useless behind around. Shoving his hands in his pockets, Nero trudged his way to a room that had some sort of stage set up as well as a abundance of overly-armored men and women who looked like they belonged at a bad convention in Nero's eyes.
He never understood why these 'heroes' felt the need to dress as if they wore a neon sign that screamed 'look at me! I'm a good doer!' Waste of damn space if one were to ask him. Motioning for his dog to keep close, Nero would manage to squeeze himself through the crowd, doing his best to stay as conspicuous as possibly. Humorously, his simple attire of just an army green Henley, jeans and sneakers seemed to make the boy stick out like a sore thumb compared to these people, something that made him groan a bit internally. Finally able to separate himself from the masses a bit, Nero would begin to scan the room, looking for any kind of structure that could break on-lookers line of sight. Instead of finding such a structure, Nero's vision became locked on a familiar looking individual. Was that... JessY? Odd, he was almost happy to see her when compared to the people around them, but that wasn't saying much. Still, perhaps he could use her to his advantage. Something to shatter any suspicions others may have of him. After all, if they saw him actually talking to someone else, it could help him be overlooked. Welp, looks like it was time make himself known.
Approaching the table of refreshments his friend(?) was standing beside, Nero would rest his hands on his hips and speak up. "Just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse, I have to run into your annoying-ass. Perfect." Giving JessY a bit smirk to show he wasn't completely serious, he'd continue. "So tell me, have you been following me or is my luck really this bad? My munny is on the latter. Oh, right, you remember Koji, Koji is charmed to see you, I'm sure" chuckling a bit as his dog rolled his eyes, Nero would shift his focus back on JessY. If he had to talk to her to clear his ass, he was at least going to do his best to look interested, as hard as that was for the boy.

While quite unsure of what to expect, the last thing she would've imagined is seeing a familiar face. She was there for a couple minutes without much going on, nobody really approaching her and nobody approaching the stage. Her eyes darted to the door whenever someone left or entered out of habit, never expecting much due to the fact this was a huge event and she only arrived here by chance. Her calm demeanor quickly turned to anxious and alert when a certain body walked in with a dog alongside him - she recognized the boy immediately and turned around.
Taking a deep breath, she managed to release her own tense inner contortion and look more relaxed and natural again, unsure of why she seemed to dread seeing him. JessY recounted the last time they met in her head, remembering having a good time, but remembering that he wasn't a fan of her company. He did only what he had to help, not being the most thrilled. They left on decent terms, but she got the feeling the boy would never actually want to see her again. Nevertheless, she felt someone get much closer and her worst fear was realized - he was consciously making the choice to visit her.
JessY turned around again to see that it was him, and he began talking. Opened up with a casual insult, make more crude remarks, and yup, here we go again. At least she got the feeling like she was wrong about her previous assumption. She let out a deep sigh. "Lost or something? Didn't take a loony toon like you to be the hero type." She wouldn't give a long enough pause for him to reply right away though. "Then again by that logic what the fuck am I doing here; being the last thing to consider a hero right before my meat-head excuse of a clone."
The look she gave the boy was filled with groans and disgust, but couldn't hold it for long as she let out a single breath of laughter and held out her hand for a shake. Should he accept, it would be direct and firm on her end as any proper handshake should; otherwise she would shrug. "So, either you're up to no good or someone you owe put you up to this. Unlike me who is teleported places by complete random, it's probably not an accident you're here. I'm awfully curious." She couldn't hold back her smile on that one, looking into his eyes and eagerly awaiting the exciting answer. Maybe this party could be interesting after all.

Studying the girl's face as she talked, Nero raised an eyebrow at first, but that bit of tension was quickly shattered as JessY would let out a small laugh and extend her hand. As much of an asshole as Nero was, he wasn't one to turn down a handshake from someone he has been an ally with in the past. Even if he wasn't the most personal of allies when they were teamed up a while back, the fact that JessY had paid up for his assistance as she had promised was enough of a reason for Nero to extend his hand towards an old business associate. Laughing a bit at the immediate assumption of wrong doing, Nero would rest his hands on his hips, thinking for a quick second before answering. Sure, he could easily come out clean and tell her 'yep I'm here to steal the king's jewels, obviously!' but he wasn't quite sure just how well that would go over. She wasn't too goody-goody, Nero had known that due to the fact she had issue with killing a few of the mercenaries that had been trailing her back in the jungle where the two had first met, but thievery.... that was always a bit of a tougher subject to tackle. The heroes Nero had met in these strange worlds always seemed oddly okay with killing a bad guy, but when it came to snatching a munny pouch from someone's pocket, oh heaven forbid you every did anything like that. Oh, right, Nero had a question to answer.
"Hey, if my memory serves, last time you saw me I helped a damsel in distress get her pendant back from some mercenaries in a zombie-infested tomb! That's like, the definition of heroic." Of course, Nero left out the part that she had paid him to retrieve this pendant as well as the fact that she fought just as many if not more of those mercenaries than Nero did, but he was just getting a quick pot-shot in on the girl before actually answering her question. "But, yeah, I'm definitely no hero. I'm here to meet a contact for my next job, don't know why, but he seemed really adamant about our meeting taking place in this uppity-ass castle. Mentioned something about meeting in the least guarded wing, wherever that maybe." Looking around as he spoke the last sentence, he'd point towards one of the many posted guards. "Though, given how many of these blue tin cans I've seen standing in this room, I doubt he is going to be in this room." Ha, there it was. That old Nero was so sly and so slick that he thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick.
Being in his line of work for as long as he had been, he knew the best way to hide the truth was to sprinkle it in a bit withing the lie. Nero was in fact looking for the least guarded wing of the castle, and if JessY happened to know something (which he doubted she would) she wouldn't have to stain her conscious with guilt if she gave him information. Man, did it feel good to be a cunning bastard sometimes. Of course, Nero wouldn't show any of this on his face as he talked, as he recalled JessY not being completely brain-dead, in fact he remembered she had a few good ideas within the tomb they explored together (as much as it pained him to admit it) so he knew he'd have to watch what he said and make sure it fits with his persona. Kind of odd she hadn't mentioned just what was going on here, but he was already talking to her and had noticed that the crowds of heroes had been shifting closer to the stage in the middle of the room. He wasn't planning on moving closer to the stage like the others, but he'd be lying if he said he wasn't interested in what was going on, but he wasn't planning on joining anything these weirdos were doing.
"So, do you even know what all these idiots are doing here? I know you mentioned being randomly teleported places, but has anyone in this castle even thought about what they plan on taking place here? Call me a pessimist, but I'm not too quick to trust a sign that states 'hey, come in here, we have a bunch of jackasses that label themselves as heroes in this here castle!' I'm, uh, paraphrasing a bit here, but you get the idea. Just seems fishy to me, but what do I know. I'm just a street-smart fortune seeker, right?" Smiling a bit, Nero would be genuinely curious on JessY's angle of things. While he didn't really care for her, he had noticed that she seemed to understand how things worked in this strange universe more than he did, so she was very useful to him in that regard. Though, he'd never admit that to her face, she'd never let him hear the end of it after all the shit he had given her in the past.

Ouch, Nero one JessY zero. This boy saved her bacon - she probably could've managed if she was any bit brave by herself, or willing to stomach the presence of the vile creature she hated but found ever so useful it would've been easy, though she couldn't possibly complain with how things ended up. She owed him way more than what she has ever given him. He wasn't a hero, but he wasn't a complete scumbag. Just the type of person she liked to keep around.
"Yeah, that happened." She was referring to the heroics of course. He then went on about a contact in a lightly-guarded room? At first she narrowed her eyebrows but thought about it for a second and realized that in a rendezvous was better off with the least amount of witnesses as possible. Suddenly he wasn't as suspicious anymore. How boring though, she had hoped he had an idea of something more fun to do but she couldn't think of why else he could possibly be here. A place like this was perfect. It was inconspicuous. Applause (but not literally).
"Aw. Just when I think I might have an opportunity to have fun, mister official business over here shows up. And you thought your luck was bad." Her consistent smile was a dead-giveaway to the sarcasm during the whole bit of fake-harass. It was now clear that he still probably didn't like her that much as she would've assumed, only waddling around here now to kill some time. She didn't blame him, but it reminded her not to get too invested in the exchange. She would even go so far as to resist petting Koji, not that she made any gestures or eye movements in his direction.
The crowds slowly bringing it in to the center definitely caught JessY's attention as well though, even if she was less inclined to make a comment at first. "No clue. Dead serious on the random teleportation for sure, I just thought I would hang out with a 'why not' approach to things, like I usually do." She paused, thinking of an amusing time her 'why not' attitude got her into trouble. "Of course, then shit like getting forced in a dream world and fighting to escape back to my real body happens, all while five versions of my one friend are trying to kill me." there was a quick realization that he probably couldn't care less, since she assumed he was only here to kill time. "...I'd rather not go there though." Nipped it in the bud.
"Anyway, the only reason this event has any validity is the location; highly doubt some shady con artist or whatever has taken over the entire castle? Not from King Mickey." It was the most logical opinion she could derive from the situation, what could possibly go wrong? Sure, maybe not one hundred percent of the crown was all about that hero life (after all Nero and JessY were both there), but there was definitely something bringing a large quantity of do-gooders here today, and it seemed they were close to finding out what. Whatever was happening still wouldn't be for a little bit at least, there was still zero setup happening on the actual stage itself, but maybe a pamphlet had a time-line on it somewhere of today's events.

Laughing a bit at the mention of her past adventures, Nero would pat the girl on the shoulder with a bit of a smirk. "Eh, trust me sister, you're preaching to the quire when it comes to things not going the way you expect them too. Hell I won't be surprised if I wake up handcuffed to a bomb after meeting my contact. It's just the kind of shit that comes with the territory. The real key is how you get out of it, well, at least in my experience. Judging by the fact that we're talking in this stuffy-ass room, I think it's safe to say we both make it out of our... unfortunate situations." Taking a sip of his water as she continued to speak, Nero was truly hoping she had some sort of an idea about just what he would have to be dealing with during his theft mission, but he'd sadly get nothing from the girl. Great, all that fake friendly banter was for nothing, but now it'd just seem too sudden for him to bark an insult her way and leave. Dammit, why did he have to assume this chick would know so much about this event? What was it based on?! Hell if he knew. Though, despite some of his friendly demeanor being false, he'd be lying if he said it all was. Despite her connection to the heathen by the name of JeY and her use of magic, Nero couldn't help but find her lack of luck something that gave the two a bit of a bond, albeit a very slight bond. He had seen it first hand and the jungle and was now hearing about past occurrences. Gotta love someone else getting dicked over for a change!
Still, the mention of the name 'King Mickey' did interest the boy a bit. Nero had heard plenty about the King from various employers and fellow mercenaries in this universe, but always found it a bit odd that a place full of world-traveling individuals could name one man (or mouse, in Mickey's case) 'King.' Well, at the very least, Nero could possibly see what all the hype was about, but he wasn't even sure if his majesty would bother showing up to this thing. Honestly, Nero really couldn't see the need for such an important figure to show himself in front of all of these overly-excited dorks, but perhaps King Mickey was worth all the praise he got. Only time would tell. Speaking of, Nero couldn't help but be a little annoyed at just how long this event was taking to start up. After all, the damn room was essentially butt cheek-to-butt-cheek at this point, was there a set time or were they truly waiting on a certain amount of people to get here?! Screw this, Nero was taking this into his own hands "Hold up a second JessY, I'm going to talk to one of the many jackasses over there and see if we can get a clue on what's going on here." Pointing to a rather bulky man on the outer part of the mass in front of the two, Nero would motion for his dog to follow him before preforming some sort of half walk, half jog towards the bigger man.
"Hey there, Jeffro, mind filling a fellow adventurer in on just what is going on here? Or a fellow warrior, fellow hero or fellow whatever-you-are? I'm curious is what I'm getting at." Giving the man a pleasant (but fake) smile, Nero would watch as the oaf slowly turned around, not giving Nero a face even remotely as friendly as the one he had given this armor-clad brute. "Surely, you can't think you're even close to any of those things you listed, can you boy? A runt like you who travels with a mangy mutt isn't anything I'd clarify as a 'fellow warrior' as you put it." Scowling as soon as this guy opened his mouth, Nero would quickly shake off the look on his face for a more confident one. "Yeah, I wouldn't be so fast to down play the dog, especially considering the fact that he more than likely has a bigger brain than your stupid ass. Hell, given all the steroids you must have had to take to get body, I wouldn't be surprised if he was better than you in other areas as well, crap-for-brains!" Giving up on his past crusade to get information about the event, Nero and Koji would about ready to cut this altercation short with a bullet to the head, but would suddenly hear a voice cry out from the crowd stating that the two should 'save it for the event,' whatever the hell that meant. Upon hearing this, the man Nero was ready to kick the crap out of made a strange grunting noise before sheathing his weapon and turning his back on the boy. Looking back at JessY with a raised eyebrow, Nero made his way back to the girl looking annoyed as all hell. "So, I found out nothing, but it looks like this may not be as friendly as an event as we expected. Well, either that or that meat-headed jackass over there wants to beat my ass while King Mickey gives us the ten-dollar tour." Placing a hand on his chin, Nero looked around the room, seeing nothing that would imply any kind of violence taking place in this area. It was a nice room, not exactly the ideal location for any kind of mass, scuffle. Something was off here.
"You know, it'd be nice if just once, ONCE, things didn't have to be so damn cryptic."[/color] Smiling a bit as he reached into his side pouch, he'd pull out a small card with a date and time on it. He'd hand it to JessY, still scanning the room with his eyes. ""Though, talking to that asshole wasn't a complete loss. I managed to swipe this while he wasn't looking, but this seems to explain how people seemed to know when the event was getting close to starting. Unfortunately, we still have a bit of time, but I plan on using that to snoop around a bit before I get myself stuck in this crap." Keeping his voice low and his body language calm, he'd turn to the girl. "What do you say, sweetheart, you game?" Of course, Nero only used the term 'sweetheart' to annoy JessY, as he had recalled her not being interested in him at all in their past meeting. Which to Nero, that only meant that she must swing the other way. Because, that's obviously the only reason a girl could not fall for a scumbag like Nero.

The pseudo-compliment about her survivability was nice, but she still got the tiniest hint of disdain from his overall demeanor. Something each was off in his tone, posture, and other things that nothing alone gave any hints but all put together gave a disingenuous vibe from him. She didn't dismiss the idea that this was all in her head from how she usually assumed everyone disliked her for whatever reason anyway. She wanted to believe that he wasn't just killing time but found that difficult. She continued to look and behave engaged as well, just in case. She wasn't about to let this one go because of a biased, uninformed suspicion.
"I'd offer backup but you already have Koji, and you know what they say about too many cooks." JessY would be strictly lying if she said she wasn't at least curious about what the boy was getting himself into, but she couldn't justify inviting herself into the whole situation. He liked to work alone, much like her. He made things more interesting anyway by offering to see what was up from someone else, whereas the girl was simply willing to wait. "Have fun, don't die," she blurted automatically out of habit.
While she couldn't hear a damn thing, everyone's posture and the vague shout she caught half of indicated that things were not going well. Oops. She tensed up a bit when the other guy began drawing a weapon, but the situation seemed to dissolve faster than she could imagine what could've been happening. The guy probably mentioned the boy having a funny-looking eyebrow without even meaning harm and he was rebutting in a way that the poor lunk couldn't handle. Nero was curt and witty, no doubt he offended the dude without any effort.
After a short but not really amusing display, he was back and with some indirect information. JessY looked over the card while he talked making sure to miss absolutely no details front or back. Seems she had more information to give after all. "Before you get too excited..." She was still clearly looking over the card. "I swear I've seen this symbol before; yeah. He was the champion at some sort of--" she cut herself off and furrowed her brow. She seemed a little trouble about whatever realization she made.
"This is a drawing slip. That guy is number... twenty six out of sixty, for something?" She gave Nero a look of the card, next to the time in the corner there was a single number, twenty six, and the bottom parallel corner was a larger but more clean number, sixty. "I wasn't around long at this thing last time I saw this symbol last, but the crowd was way smaller and the venue wasn't nearly as formal." Once he was clearly done taking in the details, she would withdraw the card back to her own sights, giving it a once-over. "...On that note, someone is going to be very unhappy about having their drawing swiped, but we should still find out what you'll win if you're called." She handed the card back to him and winked, though if he decided not to keep it she would shrug and pocket it.
"I'll also let you know if I see this 'unguarded wing' you're looking for." So, she was agreeing without explicitly saying 'yes', but she wouldn't start walking away until he did. She would make sure he didn't have any crude yet amusing remarks, instructions or clarifications, or last-second questions.

Pausing for a quick moment, Nero couldn't help but notice the girl cut herself off about what he had really lifted off of the guy. Sure, learning that he had actually swiped a drawing slip instead of a card stating the time and date of this event was some interesting news (though, he had barely even looked at the card before handing it off to the girl,)but he wasn't so interested in that that he'd ignore the fact that she seemed to be hiding something from him. Champion of what exactly? A contest for big dumb jerk-faces? Champion of the ring? What did this symbol imply?! As he studied it, Nero couldn't recognize it. He opened a page of his journal, comparing to various symbols he had run into in his past travels, but no match. Opening to a new page, Nero would quickly sketch the mysterious symbol on this fresh page, listening carefully to JessY as she spoke. He may have been a bit uneasy about the whole drawing slip situation he had just learned about, but if there was one thing that someone should know about Nero, it was that the boy worked best when he wasn't sure of what was going on. Scribbling a few notes down underneath his initial sketch of the symbol, smirking a bit as he listened to the details JessY had been recalling. "Your memory is still as selective as ever, I see. Let me think for a second before we decide on anything too quickly.
Walking a small distance from the girl, not enough for her to assume he was going to head off to do his snooping (as usual, I see) just yet. Pacing back and forth while jotting down a few things, Nero would return to her, with a bit of a scowl. "Whatever this symbol is, it's meant to display power in some sort, you can tell by the subtle details in it's design. It's not much, but it's a first clue to figuring out just what this stupid thing means." He'd stop for a minute, before chuckling a bit as he heard the girl mention that 'someone would be unhappy' with their slip stolen. "Eh, I wouldn't worry about ol' asshole over there worrying too much about his slip being gone, JessY. No, I think he's gonna be more pissed about his wallet being missing from where he placed it." Nero would pat his side pouch as he spoke, giving the girl a devilish smile. He wasn't a fan of stealing, but that jerk insulted Koji without any justification. If anything, Nero took the funds to purchase Koji one of his favorite meals to help his dog feel better after being called a 'mangy mutt.' He was sure that barbecue bacon cheese burger would taste better to Koji knowing this butt-head paid for it.
He couldn't lie to himself, part of him wanted to let JessY keep the card just in case the number was called, but he'd feel an odd sense of guilt if she had to take the blame for swiping the ticket. He was a lot of things, but Nero wasn't cold enough to let anything happen to the girl that was rightfully his fate. No, as much as it pained him to admit the current situation, he was genuinely interested in this crap. Besides, even if things did go sour with this whole drawing slip thing, Nero had Koji and JessY on his side and Trojia as his man on the outside. Even if this drawing was something that was to be seen as a bad thing, Nero was willing to take that chance just to settle his curiosity. As an added bonus, this event could help distract these people even further, making his main goal ear even easier to achieve than he had expected. Man, did it kick some serious ass when things worked out like this. There was just one more loose end to tie. Time to put on his fake face again. Jeez, he was starting to worry this fake face would get stuck this way.
"Alright, I'm officially curious about this thing. What do you two say we investigate this thing?" Koji grumbled a bit while tilting his head at the boy. He didn't like that Nero seemed to be implying they wouldn't just be lifting the goods from the castle and bolting out of there as his mentor had sent him to do. Worse yet, now he was including this girl? It was times like these where Koji hated his partners arrogance. "Of course, I know Koji doesn't really have a choice, but what do you say, JessY? I'd be the one taking the drawing slip, but I'd need you two as my support crew in case it goes south up there. I dunno, something about this event makes me think it's not a ordinary raffle, so if we're going to steal this meat-head's slip, I want to make sure we're prepared for it." He was pretty sure the girl would be on board o join him. After all, JessY's casual demeanor when it came to something potentially dangerous was one of the few things Nero liked about the girl, if anything she would have been joining in without his request. Actually, he was pretty much sure she'd be joining him either way, as being an annoying nuisance was one of the things JessY was best at.
"Though, first off, I'm really going to need you to finish whatever you were you going to say about that symbol before you cut yourself off. I never got why people finish so much of their sentence and then cut it off. It's like really? Now you decide you've said too much? That's like eating a candy-bar to the last bite, then throwing it away like "yeah, you know, I didn't want this." Freaking annoying."

Hearing the boy was on board for some investigation... well it made no difference to her. She was killing time, since she was curious as to the going-ons here anyway, why not do it with a friend? JessY was still skeptical of the boy's willingness to involve her, but maybe he has that same awkward tinge a lot of people do, that's it's just easier to move around or be in crowds if you know someone, even if you're not the most partial to them. She's probably just wrong; but this happened with everyone she met.
There wasn't time to waste on petty high school drama bullshit like this though. She internally shook her head to keep focused. Though, she couldn't escape the drama forever since the boy decided to snatch a wallet for some... no? particular reason other than 'because I can'. Well, as far as she knew. She just shook her head. It wasn't any of her concern and frankly she couldn't be assed to care about some random jackwad's cash getting ganked.
"Yeah sure, I'm down for this thing. I wouldn't mind a little action if it came to that." That could go multiple ways, but in her head it only had one obvious interpretation. She had no idea what there was to gain from this endeavor either, but at least it sounded fun for the time being. Who could say no to fun? Plus she really wanted to know what Bleu's ulterior motive was because she was absolutely certain he had one, whether or not she was being used.
For now, he brought up the sentence she cut herself off on and man was that embarrassing. she blushed a little and brought her hand to the back of her head and looked up slightly, laughing a little. "Oops, about that - I started saying that sentence before the entire thing was formed, and that's literally where my brain cut it off. I have nothing else to give you because I realized I actually didn't know anything more about it." She was hoping that could be swept under the rug, but she was not the fortunate.
