Dot would not be in the bar tonight, after yesterday's incidents. But between Bob sulking under the bed and the sheer amount of boredom and lack of anything to do, she is now in the corner of a booth and keeping her back to the wall.

She really wishes this puppet thing would get the frag overwith, and this urge to break into song is really not helping her any.

Come distract her.

Another puppet approaches her, and offers a smoke.

"Fag?"

"No thanks. I got enough trouble from just -drinking-. Besides don't have the digits to hold it right." Mitten hand gestures to the seat across from her. "Welcome to sit with."

No reason not to break into song- Laini is already humming, herself. She has her hands full with a bento box from the bar and a glass of Thai Iced Coffee, so Dot gets 7 tails waved at her instead.

"You're looking remarkably more sober today."

Well it's not so much the song as the humiliation of being a plush toy while doing so. Tonight Dot is opting out of getting drunk, considering how her wake up was last time.

"Hey Laini. I have to watch myself around those 404 errors. Thanks again for helping Bob and I up to his room." She's even managing to smile! Praise be!

"Oh, not a problem at all." Laini grins, sitting down across from Dot. "Odder things tend to happen here-" she waves her hand to indicate the bar-

"So, just gotta take them in stride. Or at least others do. This all sort of tends to be normal back in Furhold, though last week was black and white 'I love Lucy' themes instead." Laini snickers.

"So I've been told... Still doesn't mean I have to enjoy it." She gives Laini one of those tired, exasperated looks.

"That explains so much and yet so little doesn't it?" Dot replies wryly.

"Better to find some humor in the situation- usually better to laugh at life." She chuckles quietly, opening up the bento box and sliding it across to offer some of the california rolls to Dot.

"Which part do you mean?" Her ears twitch curiously.

"Explains how you can deal with all of this so well... ...I can't eat Userfood. Bob found out it a bit..dangerous to try, but thanks anyway." She makes a small wry smile. "And yet not explain why someone felt like making things so user-crashit difficult for... some things."

"Kitsune." Laini motions to herself with a grin. "Creatures of chaos and all the fun that comes with it." She winks, then looks down at the sushi, one ear flattening back.

"Even as a puppet? Sheesh."

"Actually... now that you mention it Bob got his head soaked with water last night with no damage." A thoughtful look. "..maybe just one. What are these?"

Food culture is not something she has studied recently.

"Commonly known as sushi, with the components of seaweed, rice, various vegetables and raw fish. Originated in Japan, and has become rather popular world-wide- at least on Earthside."

And, chopsticks aside, it is something easily picked up with fingers, or... hand-like appendages.

Well, now is as good a time as any to be adventurous, so one mitten hand grabs a piece and pops it into her mouth. "Hrmmm... interesting.:

Laini grins, sorting through the various choices.

"At least you're not doing the usual 'ew, raw fish' thing that most do." Serenely, as she picks up a peice for herself.

"So, what sort of things do you usually eat, then?"

"Energy shakes, silicon chips, flopjacks... depends on where you are. Out in the Web? ...from what I've heard it's either chip rations, ROM, or eating live webslugs." She chews a little more. "It's different from any of the other stuff I've had so it's kind of hard to describe it right. Kinda like something that came out of the C: drive..."

"Sounds like the menu for some gremlins I know." She shakes her head, amused. "At least the ones that have managed to adapt themselves to computers."

"...Eiugh. ...there aren't any of those things that will come in here are ther-" She breaks off as she reboots back into a normal sprite.

And somewhere upstairs, there was a familiar sounding yelp.

"... So much for sharing the rest of the sushi." Laini shakes her head, pulling the box back to her side of the table-

Then perks an ear.

"Y'know, given the general sizes of the puppets, compared to how they may have been normally, and without the usual shapeshifting knowlege of such things..." She grins.

"Things may be amusing right now."

Nevermind that, first thing Dot checks is to pull back the collar of her shirt and check to make sure. "Oh thank User they're not sewn on anymore."

A pause and then the parts click. "...Bob."

"Section Q." Laini replies, smugly, then glances around the bar.

"Where did you last see our hero, then?" Her dinner is pushed aside as she stands up.

"He was upstairs in the room... sulking under the bed."

Which by now? Was probably way too small a space for him to be in.

"Should we go and rescue him? Or should we leave him with his possible injured pride alone?" Laini is trying to be concerned, but unfortunately some of the amusement leaks through.
