Jr grumbled as his suggestion that they bailed didn’t get responded to right away and so after only about a half dozen drops plopped down on his head he had had enough of being rained on. The boy prince hopped out of his car and then proceeded to pick it up, flipping it upside down in order to hold it above his head and use it as an umbrella.

[color=SpringGreen]”Blech, fine, get wet all you want, see if I care!”[/color] he complained from beneath his shield.

[color=Aqua]”Aw come on, its not that bad”[/color] Rika replied cheerfully, although she quickly changed her tune when her new sundress started getting wet and it, unlike the pirate-y or swimsuits-y clothes she’d had on, did not respond well to the drenching.

[color=Aqua]”Oh ok ew that is not fun”[/color] she complained as she raised her gauntlets over her head to block the rain, though the way they did not slot together and instead left a gap meant she got water dripped on the head and shoulders quite a bit.

Thus both she joined Jr and Omori in hurrying over to the elevator, and being thankful that it both sped its way down and had a rain shield that closed up above them to block out the downpour.

Once at the bottom there was a twining of farewells and greetings, starting with the hat wearing kid running off on her own adventure/quest to gather up all her ship’s fuel.

[color=Aqua]”Bye! Have fun and stay safe whatever your name is!”[/color] Rika called after her, while Jr just shrugged, somewhat indifferent to her departure. They hadn’t exactly been close despite Jr’s perhaps miss guided attempts to change that.

As for the greeting, well, here was Pit who they’d met once at the meeting and Jr vaguely knew from smash. Unlike with his dad there hadn’t been any kind of world warping adventure attached to the tournament he’d been in, and as there was a difference between competing with/against someone and going through an actual crisis side by side with them, his familiarity with the angel was a fair bit lesser than Bowsers.

[color=SpringGreen]”Sup Pit”[/color] Jr greeted him simply, while Rika gave him a little hand wave and a nod in agreement to how good the view was as she said [color=Aqua]”Yeah it really was, I didn’t know there was so much stuff in the world!”[/color] before thinking for a moment and adding [color=Aqua]”Oh and I’m Rika, nice to meet you. I like your pretty wings”[/color] 

The lack of any kind of city wide alert or moogle showing up ment they still had time to kill, something Omori noted and took Pit up on his offer about tapping into his knowledge of smash city to ask if there was anywhere else they could spend time.

[color=SpringGreen]”Like somewhere to eat? All that fighting and training means has left me hungry”[/color] Jr said, despite the fact that he’d been passive through most of it. Rika nodded enthusiastically at the idea, having contrastingly put lots of effort in over the last little while that had worked up a fair bit of an appetite.

Someone who was way ahead of them on the whole food front was Bowser. The king, having been denied a throw down by the spotlight hogging Dante, had gone and gotten a second serving of shrimp which he was sitting on the stairs and munching through like popcorn while watching Dante throw down with the two intruders. His enthusiasm was somewhere between the noisy Sakura and the cool Karin, giving the odd call of encouragement, but mostly focusing on munching and watching.

Kamek, once she had seen to the wounded (who seemed to have come off rather lightly considering the damage being thrown around and giving a pretty clear indication that the pair had pulled their punches) had settled down next to her king alongside some of those same said wounded who where fit enough to sit and watch. Together they made up something of a little spectator gallery joining in Sakura’s cheering, especially from those that had lost to the intruders and who had a personal stake in seeing them get their comeuppance.

Get it they did, Dante and her endless bag of tricks not quite wiping the floor with them, but certainly showing herself to be head and shoulders above the couple when it came to competence and sheer style. The ending of the fight was met with cheers and applause from the miscellaneous onlookers.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Well done Dante, and thank you two for not hurting anyone too badly while under the influence of Galeem”[/color] Kamek called down, adding just a little bit of positive spin to Guile’s sour faced take on the situation

[color=FD0000]”Eh you two were lucky Dante jumped in before I got in the ring, else you’d have seen what a real trouncing looked like. I’m the one who freed her after all”[/color] Bowser added, leaving out just oh so many details of that little confrontation in the name of being his boastful self as he and Kamek followed Geralt’s beckoning for them to wander down to join the reforming Blue team group.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”As for getting back in the action, well, I for one am appreciating all the downtime I can get before we go back to the grindstone. It's not like we really have a time pressure on us or anything, what with Galeem being passive and the master hand being reactionary in its methods of opposing us, so plenty of rest and preparation can only help our cause”[/color] Kamek replied to the Witcher’s notion about wanting to get back out there.

Bowser meanwhile had the opposite opinion [color=FD0000]”Nah I get ya, it’s well past time we got back out there and started smashing shmucks into dust again. Can’t let that big flappy glowball get comfy thinking we ain't coming for its neck…? head…? orb! Yeah that! Plus there was that whole city that was in trouble or something right? I’m guessing you here types are chomping at the bit to go save that place.”[/color]
