[i]"No luck..."[/i]

Moira snorted. Yeah, they really were having no luck today. Asking people up front seemed to cause them to shrink back, while lying to them and pretending to be concerned just offended them. She rested her chin on her palm with a scowl, bringing up her bottle to her lips as she thought. Bloody stubborn, the lot of them. 

Syed was staring at his menu, although he wasn't really focusing on it. To be honest, he wasn't all that suprised, but that was probably his pessimism talking there. If Thunderhawk on his own couldn't find anything out, what hope did they have as a group? At best, they'd be intimidating, at worst suspicious. Still, it did leave him wondering if the other group had any better luck. A waterpark was probably not the best place to get information, but at least they probably would have fit in better there.

He wasn't really hungry yet either to be honest, although he certainly appreciated this break from the heat and the masses of people outside. He was sure Moira appreciated the break from the sunburn too, the stint in swimwear probably didn't help much. Still, it looked like this place had a good selection of teas. He felt he needed one, he needed to relax a bit.

"Well, I'm not really hungry, so I think I'll just get a-"

DOOOOOOONG!

He jumped in his seat, a spark of electricity jumping from his temples. What the-!

Moira span on her seat so fast she actually managed to crick her neck. She winced, rubbing at her neck as she craned a look out of the window. There was nothing out there! Nothing but the sound of wooping and cheering and almost chaotic music in the distance. Moira snorted. Whatever that was.

DOOOOOOOOOOONG!

The noise was getting louder. It was definately getting louder. In fact, was it getting closer? She could hear another sound now, one that took her a couple of seconds to figure out. Was... was that the stomping of feet? Lots and lots of feet.

And suddenly, the scene outside was absolute chaos.

Many, many people danced down the street, dressed in vibrant colours and outlandish headdresses. Some even wore full on costumes, including a couple of people dressed up as a horse. Some played instruments, everything from drums to trumpets to triangles, one person even wheeling along a gong. They were throwing confetti and dragging along several huge balloons as they went. It was in fact one of Los Paraisos's famous parades, world renowned thanks to the resort's status as a sort of melting pot of cultures from across the globe.

Moira stared as what looked like a huge pair of legs walked by, the person using them out of sight above the window. She was so preoccupied, in fact, that she initially didn't notice a girl had entered the diner. She rotated her hands in fluid movements and shook her hips as she stood by the doorway, the coins attached to the silken sashes around her hips jingling as she went.

When she finally stopped, a broad smile spreading across her lips. "Come!" she said breathlessly, gesturing towards the door and the chaos outside. "Dance!"

Moira stared for a moment, before looking down at her bottle again. Booze and a meal, or absolute mayhem. It was a hard choice...

But she was on holiday. Well. Sorta. This was somewhere she had dreamed of visiting since she was small. No reason to waste it.

"You know what, yeah!" she stood up suddenly and started shaking her hips back, nearly knocking one of the tables in the process. She downed her drink, grabbed Syed's wrist with one hand and Amy's by the other, and pulled the pair of them out the shop, regardless of any protesting.

The girl cheered, before turning back to the others hopefully. "Get a hat?" she offered, gesturing to her headdress to really hammer the point home. For what she lacked in fluency, she made up for in sheer enthusiasm. The diner's owner looked ready to kick her out.

Meanwhile outside, Moira finally released both her partner and her friend. Mostly through amazement. Oh my gods... she turned with excitement to Amy. "Come on, let's have fun," she grinned.

Even Syed found himself being taken away by the sheer energy of it all, and soon enough began to dance along with them all in his own, somewhat dorky way. Something which he was quickly rewarded by someone offering him a simple paper headdress, which he quite readily accepted and plonked over his unruly head of hair.
