[color=DarkOrchid]“Oh, uh, o-okay…”[/color] Connie said after Faith had explained the reason for her current appearance. Taking the offered bread, she was just about to try a bite, when the door swung open to reveal the strange pink haired girl she and Mia had run into after the battle in the park. Even stranger, Faith waked over to her and addressed her as “Mother”. [color=DarkOrchid]“Uh, [i]t-that’s[/i] Faith’s mom…?”[/color] Connie whispered to Mia. [color=DarkOrchid]“I-I t-thought her n-name was Oros?”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]“Just go along with it,”[/color] Mia advised, catching the grin Oros directed her way. [color=SpringGreen]“From what I’ve gathered, Faith’s, um, [i]parentage[/i] is a complicated thing, to say the least…”[/color] While this whispered conversation was taking place, Oros had begun setting up some kind of game. Everyone was making a circle around a bottle on the floor. [color=SpringGreen]“Oh, great,”[/color] Mia groaned. [color=SpringGreen]“Not spin the bottle…”[/color]

[color=DarkOrchid]“S-Spin the b-bottle?”[/color] Connie asked nervously. [color=DarkOrchid]“I-Isn’t t-that the game w-where y-you…?”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]“Yeah,”[/color] Mia confirmed. [color=SpringGreen]“We don’t have to play it if you don’t want to. I’m honestly not too big a fan of it myself.”[/color]

[color=DarkOrchid]“N-No,”[/color] Connie replied as firmly as she could. [color=DarkOrchid]“T-This is w-what p-people do at p-parties, s-so we’re g-gonna do it t-too!”[/color]

Mia couldn’t help but smile at her friend’s determination. Thankfully, the bottle’s first spin left it pointing at Alex, but before he could answer, some kind of portal appeared above the bottle from which two girls emerged. One of them was Shoggy, thankfully minus her tentacles. Or maybe not, if that “pudding” was anything to go by… The other was the silver-haired girl they had briefly seen at the park, who promptly introduced herself as Tenebra.

[color=DarkOrchid]“H-Hi Shoggy!”[/color] Connie said, waving and giving the eldritch girl a smile. [color=DarkOrchid]“I-It’s nice to see you again! Oh, a-and it’s n-nice to m-meet you, Tenebra! I-I’m Connie, a-and this is m-my best f-friend, Mia.”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]“‘Sup,”[/color] Mia added with a nod.

It was then that Connie noticed yet another new arrival, the small samurai girl she had briefly conversed with at the park. She suddenly gasped when she remembered that she’d even exchanged contact info with the girl, but had been so worried about tending to Faith that she had completely forgotten. Connie felt terrible about doing such a horribly rude thing, so she resolved to make up for it now.

[color=DarkOrchid]“H-Hi, y-you’re Ronin, r-right? W-We, um, m-met at the p-park. I-I’m Connie, and t-this is M-Mia, but, uh, y-you p-probably already k-know that… A-Anyways, it’s r-really n-nice to see you again, a-and I’m r-really sorry I f-forgot I had y-your c-contact info…”[/color]

Around this time, an anguished scream was heard coming from the kitchen. It was Sakura. Apparently Shoggy had…[i]eaten[/i] the movies…?

[color=SpringGreen]“Huh,”[/color] Mia noted. [color=SpringGreen]“Guess we won’t be having movie night after all…”[/color]
