[color=708090]"'Course you'd love it! Who wouldn't?!"[/color] Sid genuinely questioned, though Avery was a certain type, the girl could tell, so getting an answer out of them wasn't necessary. Nodding at their decision to get ready for a hike, the 'goth' child hopped off her seat, the additional offer and words of concern mostly flying over the girl's head as she responded: [color=708090]"I know every ditch, but only because I keep falling in 'em!"[/color] This was stated with... Confidence, as if it was an accomplishment, which to Sid it might as well have been.

[color=708090]"Only thing that'll knock you unconscious is possibly Manotaur breath. I guess dental isn't very 'manly'."[/color] She snickered at her own words, but let Avery get ready. She was jittering around, that mixed with her loud and not very secretive personality made it easy to draw Gar's attention, who's nod got the girl's attention. 

Tilting her head, she giggled a little at the man's concern. [color=708090]"Ah, don't sweat it! I know what I'm doin'!"[/color] She responded, though knowing what she was doing wasn't exactly a quell of Gar's concerns surely, considering the girl's usual wild nature. [color=708090]"And trust me: Nobody wants to run out of town after a tour from [i]me![/i]"[/color] She had no proof of this, given it was the first tour she'd ever offered to someone, but you know, it was a start! Beside, she had money on the line! If that wasn't a good ol' motivator, then what was? She had an arcade obsession to feed, after all.

[hr]

Having basically been told to kick rocks after the weird goth girl's interruption, it wasn't hard for Amelia to catch his attention, and for Ludwig's eyes to fall on the absolute giant that was now over at the booth. While height was intimidating for sure, he had a huge smile to go with it that was pretty comforting and let Ludwig wander over to observe the situation without as much anxiety. 

At least, until he saw Moe out in the open now, not much covering the unique little creature from public view. Not that he tried hard since he got here or anything, but man... At least Jeremy seemed pretty interested, too, which was calming for the boy as he got around to speaking up to the jolly giant. [color=a36209]"Ludwig-- Though, I guess she already wrote that down, hah."[/color] He introduced himself with a bit of a folly, but oh well, he swept past it quick enough. Glancing back at the now waiting girl by the counter, he looked back at Jeremy with a bit of concern in regard to her trustworthiness, but nobody here seemed to be having much issue with her, so maybe they were just getting off on the wrong foot.

[color=a36209]"Ah, well I'll try not to die?"[/color] His response was somewhat comical to some, perhaps. Or just awkward to others. This group kept getting larger and a lot of new faces was difficult to deal with, but hopefully that could be overlooked for the sake of progress, at the very least, in his investigation. 

When it came to Moe, however, Jeremy had Ludwig's full attention. [color=a36209]"Her? We've been a team for quite a bit! Found her back in Portland a long time ago, but never made any luck figuring anything out about her."[/color] He explained his plight, and main reason for being around here, in a quick manner. [color=a36209]"I came to see if all the rumors scattered around about this place are true, and she's been pretty active since we got here, so as far as her origins go, I might be considering that response to be a lead."[/color] 

Moe seemed perfectly satisfied where she was, though being obstructed from view was a cause for complaint. Thankfully the creature caused a lack of problems as the food arrived, Ludwig nervously looking at Amelia as she gave him a rather tragic look that probably was squirrel-related. He offered her a small smile and a thumbs' up as the food was placed, trying to say it wasn't a big deal. And after everything was settled, she seemed to be taming Moe well enough anyhow, the bacon being more than enough of an offering for the small beast.

[color=a36209][i]Having her not be as much of a secret is actually way less stressful![/i][/color] He thought to himself, observing the rather happy atmosphere they had going on.

[color=708090]"[b]Jimmy![/b]"[/color]

Ludwig jutted away from where he was standing so fast that his glasses were left behind, quickly snatching them and putting them back on as he stared at the source of the sudden loud voice: That girl from earlier that stole his opportunity for information. [color=a36209]"You always sneak up on people like that?!"[/color]

[color=708090]"Aside from the occasional shoe squeak I am pretty quiet,"[/color] Sid responded as if she was moreso pondering her own stealth abilities, before realizing she was getting sidetracked. [color=708090]"Ah, forget that though, I need your help, Jeremy!"[/color] While Sid was usually very confident, successful, some would even say superior to her peers [sub](Nobody ever says that)[/sub], this particular situation was perfect with the big lug here. [color=708090]"I got someone curious to see the Manotaurs, and I need the manliest dude around to come with me!"[/color] 

The duo had a pretty fond memory of the Manotaurs, but after Jeremy left, Sid hadn't ventured out there as much. She always thought of Jeremy as the one the Manotaurs respected for his go-getter nature and willingness to push forward. So, with him gone, she didn't feel like she was as welcomed. Not that she ever asked or tried, which was odd, being nervous wasn't in her nature, but maybe it was just the fact that a duo's start had to have a duo's finish, too. And it didn't feel right otherwise? 

[color=a36209]"[i]Manotaur?[/i]"[/color] Ludwig questioned with a slight nervous tone.

[color=708090]"You were curious about mysteries around here, right? That's why you were gonna talk to the weird person with the recorder? Well I'm showing 'em something cool, and you can come, too! I bet they'd like having new guys around."[/color]

[color=a36209]"There's dozens of things wrong with what you said, but I [i]am[/i] curious."[/color] Ludwig admitted, looking at the group with uncertainty.

[color=708090]"Might as well make it a party! So anyone wanting to go on an awesome adventure better speak up, 'cause we gotta go sooner than later!"[/color] This four-eyed guy could be useful, actually. Maybe Avery would feel more comfortable if she wasn't the only newbie around- Oh, yeah! Sid nodded to herself that she could for sure pitch that to the girl when she came out, which wasn't long after Sid tried gathering up a posse. 

Clapping her hands together, she approached Avery with a grin. [color=708090]"Don't gotta worry about being new to town, since I found [i]another[/i] person just as curious that rolled in today!"[/color] She said, gesturing to the four-eyes behind her with a thumb. Who, upon noticing this gesture, raised an eyebrow at the look in his direction, but otherwise didn't comment.
