[color=gold]"The good son always comes back home. Isn't it like that?"[/color] Erika answered Katie's question in a roundabout way before taking another sip of her milkshake. [color=gold]"You should listen to your new girl friend. That stuff you were having earlier is bad for you,"[/color] she added while checking Riku up. Even though Erika had to agree with Katie, that just taking one of the casino's outfits was literally asking for trouble, she couldn't help but think that Riku looked good in it.

[color=gold]"Do I need a reason to come visit my cousin? Especially after you just disappeared out of nowhere one day? Actually, I wasn't even the only one. But it seems that Dumb Tiger lost her way somewhere in the Tower,"[/color] Erika said casually after being interrogated about her motives. [color=gold]"That said, I couldn't exactly anticipate that things would turn out like this. Who would've thought you were on an outing with [i]'that'[/i] kind of people?"[/color] She said, not even bothering to mention whose of Katie's companions she was referring to, lest they attract even more unwelcome company.

[color=gold]"I wouldn't worry about that if I were you. It's just like Miss Grumpy here said. This place is all about luck, you'll eventually find your friends once again."[/color] Erika followed up on Katie's explanation before drawing a deck of cards from her coat and fanning them before Riku's eyes. [color=gold]"Believe in the heart of the cards and all that. And, if you don't find them, I guess I wouldn't bother adopting a cute bunny like you~"[/color]

[color=gainsboro]"Well well, this place is full of tricks, isn't it?"[/color] Farris said when she noticed that the Marianne she was holding was not a creation of the Tower anymore, but rather the genuine, lecherous article. [color=gainsboro]"And here I thought it was the other way around. At least that's what Rama likes to brag to everyone and their mother, literally,"[/color] she replied to Marianne's quip about Rama.

[color=gainsboro]"What the!? Grrr!"[/color] Farris' voice came out as a literal growl as she noticed the [url=https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=7160416]form that had been foisted upon her[/url] not only placing her into such an unbecoming outfit but also revealing the baser attributes she inherited from her mother. [color=gainsboro]"I should have expected you to be fine with this kind of humiliation, but what do you mean by work? You know what kind of thing that means over here, don't you?"[/color] the wolf said even as she was dragged by the collar towards Thomas and the rest.
