welcome, new visitors






There isn't much fanfare for the new crop of visitors who have come in this month, but what they encounter is quite wondrous. Is it a cruise ship? Is it a hotel? Is it a tiny planet? No one can give them a straight answer, but all are encouraged to take part in the buffet, where visitors may find an assortment of foods both familiar and unfamiliar to them. There is an open mic night happening in one of the lounges on site, featuring staff and visitor performances. Or there are a handful of shops to browse if you're amenable to trading.

Visitors will find that the Hotel Multiverse at the Edge of the Cosmos between Canons (its official name) is very much alive beyond the bustling crowd. In fact, it might just be listening to you and anticipating your needs.

As for the rest? Well, that's up to you. You may as well socialize, right?

Don't I get a go?

[Vi materializes out of nowhere (annoying, how she can always do that), draping herself over Caitlyn's shoulder and taking a massive swig from -- yes, Caitlyn's radioactive green drink -- with a wide grin.

Not like Caitlyn was really drinking it anyway.]


You Enforcers are supposed to be crack shots, right? So how come all the darts are in those outer circles? [It's hard to tell if Vi's trying to bump hips or just knock Caitlyn over.] Am I missing something?

[At least the drink won't be a hazard anymore; but Caitlyn does give Vi a bit of a concerned squint. She doesn't care that her drink is gone, but at what speed it was drunk.

It is surprising to see her here, but also not. It's weird. Caitlyn suspected that if she was here, then Vi would be as well, and maybe a few others they know (for better or for worse).

She steps out of the way and hands over the darts to her, then crosses her arms.]


The game of darts isn't to always hit the bullseye. It's to get your score to a zero. [The hip bump does get her to stumble a bit out of the way, and grumble,] IF you are playing a true game of darts. Like I was, [she points to the circle where she hit the numbers systematically to get her score down to 100.] Besides, bullseye isn't even the biggest number you can hit.

[personal profile] meanleadhook 2024-10-04 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
But the bullseye helps, right?

[Vi drains the neon cocktail like it's water, twirling the empty glass in her hand as she considers the dart board with an unimpressed look. It's not unusual for her to drink like a fish when they're out these days, though so far she seems closer to this side of sober.]

Winner buys the next round? [She's already got a dart in her hand, closing one eye and squinting dramatically as she makes a show of aiming toward the board.]

Yes, and it's exciting. But triple twenty outranks it in value.

[She points a the sliver of a line on the darts board under twenty that's marked as "x3". It looks like a nightmare to hit, and Caitlyn's dart is already there. And she tries not to look smug about it.]

Winner? Isn't the loser that's supposed to treat the winner?

[But she doesn't mind- the guy at the bar just handed her that toxic-looking thing.]
meanleadhook: (this is not a dream)

[personal profile] meanleadhook 2024-10-04 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, usually. [It's comical the way she sticks her tongue out and squints one eye as she aims. Vi's dart does manage to hit the board, though; it's not a bullseye, but it's close enough to center to earn her a few decent points. Rocking back on her heels, Vi shoots Caitlyn a self-satisfied grin.]

Figured we could mix it up a little, seeing as how you're probably gonna win anyway.

Hmm. Fair.

[She watches Vi shoot, and her eyebrows raise in surprise. That's a really good aim and shot for someone who just downed alcohol in one go. She walks over to pick up the darts and when she returns, gives them back to Vi.]

Nice shooting.

[It is fair. And Vi grinning at her like that is doing things to her so she's trying to refocus on the game. She smiles back, and points at the board.]

Y-You should take another go. I played by myself so my score isn't objective.
meanleadhook: (with your face all made up)

[Caitlyn's hardly subtle with her flushed cheeks and stuttering, which only makes Vi grin wider, like a cat circling in on the canary. She doesn't say anything though, simply plucking the darts from Caitlyn's hand and turning back toward the board with a flourish.

Truth be told, Vi's never been all that great at darts, especially when compared to a sharpshooter like Caitlyn. Vander had a dart board in one corner of the Last Drop though, so if nothing else, Vi knows she can hold her own for a few rounds.

Her next throw goes wide, but still manages to hit the rim of the board.]


...damn. Any chance I can get a do-over?
no1cupcake: (49)

sorry for the wait!

[personal profile] no1cupcake 2024-10-09 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, Caitlyn doesn't do subtle when it comes to this, even the tiniest flirting will get her worked up. But it doesn't deter her nor does she run away. She knows why; admitting it loudly isn't something she dares to do just yet.

Her head tilts slightly, lips twitching into a small smile.]


A do-over on a free shot? No can do.

[It's now her turn to nudge Vi out of the way of the dart board with a hip, twirling the dart between her fingers. She smirks a bit.]

I can, however, go easy on you.
meanleadhook: (just to swallow up the flame like me?)

no need to apologize cait's worth the wait <3

[personal profile] meanleadhook 2024-10-09 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Why don't you show me how it's done, then?

[If nowhere else, they can meet on the competitive level for now. Vi's happy enough with that, especially since Caitlyn can actually best her in more areas than one. They can work on the flirting later... maybe. Possibly. Hopefully.]
no1cupcake: (69)

😊

[personal profile] no1cupcake 2024-10-10 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Gladly.

[She continues twirling the dart between her fingers as she assesses the board and where she could shoot. She doesn't want the game to end so quickly, especially because she's already ahead in points. However... she can show off. She raises her hand and points-]

I'm going to hit 10 for double, [the thin, blue outer ring,] for 20 points.

[She takes her time to inhale and exhale and with almost inhuman precision, she hits the little sliver of the ring she called out, looking way too pleased with herself.]
meanleadhook: (hope for me)

[It's sad, actually, how distracted Vi is by Caitlyn's honest-to-legends pro performance. Belatedly, Vi shoves the toe of one heavy combat boot into the back of Caitlyn's knee, which should knock her off balance just enough to throw off the shot--

Except Vi is distracted, so the playful kick comes too late, meaning Caitlyn nails the shot and Vi has nothing but a sheepish smile to show for her attempt at paying wildly unfair.]


They teach you darts at Princess School too, Cupcake? Damn, I hella missed out.
