Selena and Bio found themselves in some giant celebration for the next three hours, it only ending once the sun began to descend slowly across the horizon. Bio found herself completely exhausted, the earlier small chase in the ravine and the festivities leaving her drained, her brain feeling as if it were swimming in molasses. Although, the shots the villagers had coerced her to down weren't helping either.

With a glance, she saw Selena wasn't faring much better, seeming even drunker than Bio was. Not that she was drunk of course - only tipsy. Selena was openly swaying, a smile plastered to her face under half-lidded eyes. "Excuse me for tonight, it's about time me and my companion caught some sleep, it has been a long day," Bio excused herself softly to the nearest villager, who nodded and made small shooing motions with his hands, smiling just a bit.

Bio slowly swayed - walked completely naturally towards Selena, resting a hand on her shoulder. Selena looked over to her, a dopey smile stretching wider upon seeing her as she slurred, "Hey beaautiful, wher' did you come from?"

"B-bea- beautiful?" Bio stammered for a moment, face flushing before she got ahold of herself. "a-ahem, Selena it's me, Bio, remember?"

"Oooh yeah... hey Bio!" she chirped happily, and Bio could only sigh with a smile of her own - drunk Selena acted very similarly to energetic Pomella it seemed. "What's up?"

"We should be getting to bed, although I'm not sure where..." she faded off as she noticed the villager she talked to - finally taking notice it was that same elderly cat man - nodded his head towards a large building off to his left, resembling a hotel much like the one from the previous town. "Think you can walk straight hu - I mean uh - Selena?" she asked, tripping up halfway through. Maybe that alcohol was affecting her more than she thought...

"But the drinks are sooo gooood," Selena practically moaned, reaching a hand longingly towards... a jug of what appeared to be scotch... how much had Selena actually drunk to get to this point?

"Okay... you're going to bed missy," Bio grumbled softly, gently tugging her along behind. Selena struggled as much as she could to get back to her 'glass' - which, consisted of a few weak wiggles - before her head slumping in a mix of exhaustion and defeat. "Fiiine, mom..."

"Hey now, if you're going to make me a parental figure at least make it mommy - I mean uh, whatever," Bio stuttered again, slapping a hand against her forehead. Forget tipsy, she might as well be knockout drunk - at least that would save her some humiliation.
Pomella

"So... I take it you don't like parties?" she asked quietly, glancing at Delta's still form. The dino-girl appeared to be partially asleep, eyes half-lidded even as she responded softly. "I love a good party..."

"Then, why not be out there with them?"

"Mmm... you're good at asking personal questions..."

"S-sorry, I don't mean to pry," Pomella mumbled softly, looking down. An uncomfortable silence fell over the two, Pomella feeling guilty while Delta simply sat there, breathing softly. Then, after what felt like an eternity Delta whispered, "Apology accepted... I know you meant well,"

"mm... you don't have to keep up the mask if you don't want to, I'll understa - "

"Yoo what's up Indigo!" a voice called, causing Delta to jolt fully awake while Pomella looked ahead in confusion. A lizard man, green scales twisting along his pitch-black arms and legs, emerald green eyes sparkling with mischief. Whoever it was, they were currently jogging over, waving a hand above their head. Delta tensed beside her again, making Pomella almost immediately dislike whoever this guy thought he was. If he made her tense just by walking over then he couldn't be anyone good.

"Hello, razor..." Delta called in a monotone, not even attempting to smile as he slowed down.

"Woah! who's the new chick, some friend of yours?" he smirked, reeking of arrogance as he propped one hand on his hip barely inches away from Delta - way to close for him not to be in her personal space and he knew it. She could just tell by how his smirk twisted just a bit more than before. "Pomella is..." Delta faded off, looking to her with conflicted eyes. Razor noticed her hesitation, and turned his head to leer over at Pomella, eyes... roaming... she could not vouch for his immediate safety, if she had to she would say her foot made her do it...

"Well if she isn't your friend then is she... 'open for market'?" he asked, simply oozing self-confidence as if it were his lifeblood.

"Razor, just because she is new to town doesn't mean she wants... 'you'," Delta grumbled, and Razor turned toward Delta with anger flickering in his eyes, slowly taking his hand off his hip to raise it threateningly over his head. "I don't remember anyone asking you, Indigo... or should I say - " his hand descending quickly towards her face "- town who- "

The resounding 'slap!' cut off the rest of his words as both he and Delta stared at her in shock, her cheek slowly turning red. "Y-you don't hit someone for no good reason, ya ass..." (It's not a swear if your talking about donkeys - and let me tell you he smells the part - Fobus).

"How dare you! Do you know who you are talking too!?" he roared, raising his hand for another strike. Before his hand could even descend an inch Delta's own shot out and easily caught the descending palm, Pomella noticing how only her thumb had turned into one of her claws. It was digging into Razor's hand, purple blood welling up to slowly trickle as he screamed like a baby from the simple wound. "If you hit me, that's fine..." Delta hissed, her slitted eyes practically glowing in the low light. "But if you dare try to hit one of my friends... you. Will. Be. Sorry,"

She let go of his palm as he reeled back, clutching his hand as he stared at her with wide eyes. "Y-you can't say that to me! I'm the son of the mayor and your just the town - "

"Shut your drawer Razor - oh wait, I mean 'toiletry," Pomella snapped, putting a hand protectively in front of Delta. She looked at her in shock for a moment, before she burst out laughing, doubling over as the joyful sound bubbled up from within her gut, Pomella smiling sweetly at the sputtering Razor, eyes wide in shock. "Now how about you go call for daddy? I'm suuure he can help with all your problems~"

Razor's eyes flicked from Delta, then to Pomella, before his forked tongue darted out to lick his dry lips. Then, only a moment later, he ran off screaming at the top of his lungs, "Dadddyyy!! Save meee!"

At that Pomella joined Delta in laughter, her laughter only seeming to double as Razor ran off screaming. The two laughed for a good while before both ran out of air and started coughing, but even that couldn't completely stop the laughter. It took them a solid five minutes before the two could breathe properly again, the two sharing a smile. Nothing brought people together like calling someone toilet ware.
