Viktor was handing the smiling High Striker operator five dollars when he heard Bex pipe up. The word "babe" stuck out most, actually making him turn to look at Bex again. He wondered what she was doing for a second until it clicked. [Color=silver][i]Inconspicuous. She's clever. So not just talk and brawn.[/i][/color] He gave her a quick nod before facing the operator again. Bex's mention of not having the ability to beat the game before them only helped confirm Viktor's thoughts of her aiding him in being [I]inconspicuous[/i]. This only meant he had to work just as hard to keep up the act.

[Color=silver]"Sure [b]babe[/b]."[/color] It didn't even sound right. There was just too much emphasis on the pet name. The man handed Viktor the mallet, to which he swung a bit in his right hand to get a feel for it. [Color=silver]"Just hit it?"[/color] He asked for confirmation.

[Color=yellow]"Uh yeah... just the-"[/color] With one hand, Viktor struck the lever that shot the puck into the bell with a loud dull ring. [Color=yellow]"Shit… I mean- Wow look at this strapping young man. He rang the bell, so surely it isn't an impossibility! Come, all who wish to test their strength!"[/color] The man shouted out to those in the immediate area. His eyes met the bored-faced Viktor. [Color=yellow]"Sheesh, you must be the real-life Gaston or somethin'."[/color] The operator commented with a quieter voice. He cleared his throat and pointed his hand towards the prizes. [Color=yellow]"Since you rang the bell, claim your reward!"[/color] Viktor eyed the prizes for less than a second before grabbing a two-and-a-half-foot stuffed pink and white panda by the ear. 

[Color=silver]"Thanks."[/color] Viktor turned from the man and walked towards Bex, presenting the stuffed animal to her. [Color=silver]"Here, Bex… Good improvising. I was once Daphne's boyfriend at the mall, so I picked up on your idea."[/color] He said quietly, mistaking Bex's antics as a smart play. So far, she appeared to be adequate. He'd have to tell Alisa later.
