"What is 'strip poker?' Why are you holding me like this?" Almyra looked at Eve somewhat blankly, even if she was not drunk, she still would have asked the same questions due to her lack of knowledge in culture. This was indeed the major disadvantage that came from her wandering.

"Course' it is Graves...it always had." The gypsy replied, and looked at Eve with a smile when she said 'poker'. However, when she went on to clarify that smile got a little bit bigger. "Ah always have a set of cards one me Eve n' are ya' sure? Cause' we all know who is gonna lose."
He took the deck and began to shuffle it up in many fancy and intricate ways. His head turned to the women around him. It seems Eve's drugs did not hamper his muscle memory whatsoever, or his coordination. This was everyone's last chance to back out before Twisted Fate made a particular individual lose...every single round, "Though Ah think Mai has the right idea...perhaps a different place would be better fer' such a game."

Almyra looked between the two, still unsure of what game they were talking about. Skylark seemed to be embarrassed by it though, perhaps it would be best if she didn't play. Nevertheless, she still wanted to know what it was. "Could someone please explain to me what this game is? I have no knowledge of it." She still was waiting for an explanation as to why Eve had put her hand around her waist as well

And so it has reached this time of the year, the dark blue sky glittered with stars and the twilight moon glowed in the distance, amongst the crowd, a particular shadow lingered. Who stood and watched as the townsfolk marched and laughed.
It's that time of the year again...
Shen muttered under his breath. He isn't going to throw himself into this gathering, much like the previous gathering before, he had rather prefer to have kept his distance and meditated in his chambers. But a dry throat managed to pull him enough to get him over to the bar.
One glass of water.
He wasn't going to go back in and start more conversations until he had managed to cool his nerves, considering what has just occured before, he took a sip from the cup and watched from the distance.

Perhaps she was too harsh on them. Seeing that the both Lulu and the Starchild seemed to be intimidated to her presence. Karma decided to take a more gentler approach.Her rigid posture relaxed considerably, with the look of disapproval wiped from her expression. Karma turned to Soraka, who was still apologizing profusely.She clasped the Starchild's hands with her own,it was a warm gesture, one devoid of hostility.
" At ease Soraka, for you are still respected and loved by us, there is no need for such self-blame. Furthermore,no irreversible damage is done, and it would be inopportune to condemn anyone on this very day.I simply wish to ascertain certain facts with Lulu here, as well as your relationship with this event."
She turned her attention to Lulu once more. She went down on one knee, with her eyes level to the sorceress.The light in her eyes softened considerably.
"Lulu,there is no need to be afraid, can you tell this young one what exactly happened?
Her tone was sincere,one that was earnestly trying to understand and empathize with them. She made it clear she would condemn neither of them no matter what their story is.They would speak and she would listen.

Evelynn pulls Almyra close and grins, "Don't worry... Just... Guess." She looks at Twisted Fate, "Fate... A little shy of someone seeing? Where would you suggest we go then hmm?"

The Starchild sighed as Karma's intentions were made clear. She wasn't here to scold the child-like Fae Sorceress. Karma's grip was warm and comforting, further easing her troubles.
"Well to put it simply I helped Lulu and Pix out and she granted me one wish. My wish was that everyone would have fun and enjoy themselves at the festival. And that's when the skies spilled out squirrels. It seems the saying is true that you should be careful what you wish for."
As Karma knelt down to speak to lulu Soraka sidestepped a little so Karma could get a better look of her.
The cruelty of one will not blind me of the suffering of many.
Evelynn pulls Almyra close and grins, "Don't worry... Just... Guess." She looks at Twisted Fate, "Fate... A little shy of someone seeing? Where would you suggest we go then hmm?"
Almyra tilts her head slightly, still confused by Evelynn's behavior. "But I cannot make an accurate enough guess, I have too little knowledge in the subject. I do not know what 'poker' is, never mind 'strip poker.' The others seem at least somewhat nervous about this game, is there some sort of punishment if we are caught playing it?"
Sky turned slightly when she heard Almyra's confusion and just laughed a bit, "It's a game of cards. If you lose, you have to take some sort of clothing off." Smirking as she glanced at Graves and TF, weighing the chances of them being caught in their boxers before she's even down to her bottom layer of basic clothing.
A glance went to Eve, taking notice of her focus on the far more naive woman in the group.
"I got a ship." Sky offered, pausing in retrospect, "Well, maybe not.. It's not really very big. And --" Fumbling a bit as she tried to think up an excuse not to use her airship. "I mean - I'm low on sake, and y'know.. having other naked women on board..." Her cheeks turning bright red, "Not that either of you would end up naked! I-I mean to say--" Trailing off as she'd look away from the group.. Specifically -not- at the Graves or TF as she stood between them. Her arms folded around her upper body uncomfortable as she dug the tip of her boot against the sand.

"Oh." She looked at Evelynn, then to Twisted Fate shuffling the deck, then back to Skylark. "You do not appear comfortable playing this game. Why do you not just leave? Besides this, I believe I should refrain from playing, since I do not know the rules of this game. My mind is also somewhat impaired due to the sake. Also, I'm cold enough, I do not wish to remove my clothing and become even more cold." Her clothing had dried a little, but it was still uncomfortably cold, though she didn't know of any nearby locations to warm up. Besides, she had been through worse and could manage, she just didn't understand the point of bringing herself further discomfort.

Lulu takes a moment o think of her answer before answering Karma
WELL Miss Soraka here HELPED me find A Mango so i GAVE her ONE wish! she WISHED for FUN so i made IT rain SQUIRRELS! the SQUIRRELS came from THE GLADE so IT wasn't people I TRANSMOGULATED.
You find us funny, do you not? A source of amusement. Is that not so? With our pretty clothes, and our convoluted circumlocutions and our little silliness of manner and behavior. And perhaps we are funny... But you must never imagine, that just because something is funny,it is not dangerous.

Twisted Fate stopped shuffling laid one arm around Mai's shoulders, seeing her turn a bright red and fumble with her words made him smile. It was clear she wanted to get out of the situation she ended up stepping into, "Don't ya' worry yer' pretty little head, Ah'm sure we can get a room in some quite inn or somethin'. It was only the gentleman thing to do when a woman gets herself a little over her head......though it seems Mai had a habit of doing that.
Not that it mattered. Twisted Fate had a skill of getting into trouble and very quickly getting out of it as well, "N' Mai yer' a pirate right? Surely ya' have some skill at cards don't ya?"

Graves lifted an eye at the mention of using Twisted Fates deck. That would result in everyone losing. "I can think of 100 ways we will lose with his deck." Graves chuckled.
The airship intrested him though, he had never been on one ans had only ever viewed them in Zaun. And losing would be less of a shame for everyone up there than on the public beach.
"I vote we go on ta' ship, never been on one myself..."

Evelynn had noticed the womans slightly damp clothing she, with a toothy smile she looks to Mai, "To your ship thingy it is." She looks to Almyra, "See, now, hopefully... You won't be cold when you lo- Sorry... If you lose."
