Pokosta Evening Gala [Day 4, Late Evening, Roleplay]

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"No, it's a real egg." Manny said as he took it back, replacing it somewhere in his fancy jacket. "I used to do one with an egg turning into a bird, and you needed a real egg for the audience to examine closely, but carrying around a bird is just too much trouble. I, uh, still carry the eggs though. I think it's just habit by now."

He assumed an innocent expression. "And you don't steal from your crew. It was supposed to be a flower." This time, the object he produced was, in fact, a flower. A little smooshed, a little dry. "It would have been pretty impressive if I had pulled that out the first time, huh?"

Jyrvess reaches out to poke the flower. "And if you had kept it in water." She sighs, "Perhaps some more practice is necessary?"

"You really are trying to hard."

"You really are trying to hard."

"I've tried keeping liquids in my jacket, but that doesn't really work." Manny said, rubbing the back of his head with one hand. "The eggs are enough of a challenge."

He smiled. "But okay. I gotcha. Well, lemme know if you wanna see one, huh? I need to know how many giant foam fingers to buy. They're pretty much mandatory, after all." He said, very seriously.

[Honor]

"But you are quite familiar with them?" Varina smiled faintly. "Being so far from home, it's hard for me to know everybody here myself. Tybalt simply stood out."

"Yes.. and no," he said, thoughtfully. "I think I would prefer to forget them, for now, if I am to be honest. Though.. I believe it is time that I should be getting back to other arrangements. I do wonder, what is it that you wish out of this place and these people?"

"Alright I'll go, but I'm not wearing a foam finger. I don't even know the local teams." Jyrvess sighed, making a note to actually read the rules of the game. "Grav-ball you said?"

[Manny Donos]

"Alright I'll go, but I'm not wearing a foam finger. I don't even know the local teams." Jyrvess sighed, making a note to actually read the rules of the game. "Grav-ball you said?"

Manny's eyebrows went up, along with the corners of his lips. "Okay. Guess I'm wearing two, then." His eyes narrowed as he studied her up and down. No foam finger... maybe she'd wear a jersey? Or at least a hat?

He chuckled. "And yeah, grav-ball. It'll be the Kamda City Manka Cats and... whoever they're playing." He waved a hand. "Whatever, they're the best."

[Varina Ordo]

"Yes.. and no," he said, thoughtfully. "I think I would prefer to forget them, for now, if I am to be honest. Though.. I believe it is time that I should be getting back to other arrangements. I do wonder, what is it that you wish out of this place and these people?"

Varina paused at the question. Then she remembered her role and nodded. "I am simply here because I must! You know, noble obligations and such."

[Honor]

Varina paused at the question. Then she remembered her role and nodded. "I am simply here because I must! You know, noble obligations and such."

"Of course, of course, but even with.. royal obligations, you do want something out of this place or these people, don't you? You don't strike me as a young woman who would waste her time. Rather, better, to find another use for it. Even if you're stuck here."

"No hated rivals stretching back to the colonies founding?" Jyrvess smirked, "I may not be an expert on sports-ball but I know most hardcore fans can quote the schedules of their favorite team from its founding to the next 25 seasons."

Manny grinned. "Hey, looks like you do know a thing or two, huh? Alright, no problem, I'll pick out a good one. Huh, maybe the Beinirk Banthas..."

He raised his wine glass. "Well, we should probably mingle a bit more, huh? And I wanted to try those mini-foods with the sticks stuck through them." He gave a little wave and smile. "See you later, Ms BB."

Jyrvess gave Manny's shoulder a reassuring pat, "I'm full of surprises."

Then she looks out to the crowd, "And yeah...oh and don't forget." She taps her pockets, "Never hurts too take some to go if you a hard up."
