Sayuri's smirks feeling a number of eyes on her as she receives her drink. She scans the room seeing if anyone caught her eye as notable competition or as a potential ally. Sadly she was disappointed. Many of them weren't even worth a second glance let alone teaming with. There were a handful of exceptions though. A woman with purplish hair drinking by herself being one of the more noticeable along with a dark skinned black haired man. Shrugging she grabs her drink and takes a sip smiling at the familiar taste. Turning back back to the entrance she smiles as she catches Basil walking in. She nods in greeting as he walks up and takes the offered card, [color=990000]“That's quite alright. I don't like people spending money on me. I prefer debts paid in more useful ways. Provided we don't die I'd like to ask a favor after the exam is finished,”[/color] she takes another drink as he orders a bottle and talks about how useful a makeshift weapon would be. She looks back out at the other participants before responding, [color=990000]“That's true but I think I'll be fine with just my fists.”[/color]

She laughs when he takes a drink and spits it right back into the glass obviously displeased by the taste. It reminded her of the first time Irene had her first wine. She'd reacted similarly though she had swallowed unlike him. Her laughter died down but a smile remained, [color=990000]“Bad choice for a first time drink. You probably should have gotten something closer to a Pinot Noir for your first drink though,”[/color] she notices the woman she'd figured was the examiner get up and head towards the stage, [color=990000][i]'Looks like things are getting started.'[/i][/color]

After watching the examiner explain the rules of the first exam Sayuri hums interested, [color=990000]“So... It's a kind of team battle royale... Interesting...”[/color] she turns and looks at her companion, [color=990000]“So are you gonna want to team up? If not that's more than fine with me. We could make an alliance rather than team up. Either way,”[/color] she glances over at the brawl in the crowd, [color=990000]“I'm going after that free pass. I'll be right back gonna go take care of that.”[/color]

Downing the last of her drink she places the cup back on the counter and motions for a refill as she stands up. As she makes her way over to the fight she notices the dark skinned man get up and make his way over to the purple haired girl. She sighed noting his mannerisms and instantly disliked him having dealt with many of his type. Reaching her destination she notices the tribal warrior from earlier walking forward announcing that he would remove the problem but only desired his badge not the free pass. She pauses for several seconds thinking. She didn't want him to squander the free pass but saving her energy was also important. Smiling when an idea comes to her she walks calmly up to the man making sure to get his attention, [color=990000]“Well then looks like we have a problem. I'm interested in that free pass. Stealing badges without having to worry about passing sounds like a fun to me. So how about we make a deal? Don't worry it's a win-win,”[/color] she points at the tattooed guy with her thumb, [color=990000]“You wanna take him down right? Go ahead and kick the shit out of him and take his badge for all I care. When your done I can drag him over to the exit and toss him out like yesterdays trash. You get to take care of a nuisance and I get my free pass. That works right Miss Aleksandra?”[/color]
