Will there be one whether I expect it or not?

[That said, seeing that smile, Blake falters a little, remembering the events of Yang's singles round...]

[onlyburnhotter]

Of course-

[Yang catches that look. She's been with her teammates enough to pick up on those things. She stops herself, suddenly looking concerned for her friend.]

Hey, something wrong?

[fedupwithyourbull]

[Honestly, between the events of that round, and then suddenly ending up here, she's wondering if the whole thing hadn't been a strange dream. After Adam, it wouldn't be surprising for her mind to make something like that up. Still...]

... Yang. Do you remember your fight in the Vytal Tournament?

[onlyburnhotter]

The Vytal Tournament? That hasn't started yet. It's like a week away still. What are you talking about?

[Yang is obviously confused by Blake's question. But even moreso, she's becoming worried. Her friend's tone seemed to be implying that something bad had happened, and it clearly involved Yang.]

Popcorns at this...

[fedupwithyourbull]

A week?

[Okay, even for her dream theory, that was weird. That... couldn't possibly be right.]

I... I remember up to the end of the Singles round.

[onlyburnhotter]

[Scratches her head at this. Not really sure what to make of exactly what was going on here.]

The last thing I remember was we had just repelled the grim invasion and put Torchwick behind bars.

[fedupwithyourbull]

That was a while ago.

[Now none of this makes sense. How can Yang not remember the past week and then some? She's wondering now if a mind control Semblance is possible, but... Yang was acting normal that whole time.]

Maybe this is just a really strange dream.

[onlyburnhotter]

What an outer-space reality TV show doesn't sound real enough to you?

[Despite the relatively serious nature of their discussion, Yang can't resist a good opportunity to insert a joke or two.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

[Okay, that brings the smile back. But only slightly.]

It seems more like your kind of dream than mine.

[onlyburnhotter]

Hey! I-

[Thinks about it for a moment.]

Okay, no, yeah... you're totally right.

[fedupwithyourbull]

[Her face goes totally deadpan as she continues.]

That's right. My dreams tend to be more...

[Pause for effect.]

... Down to earth.

[It's a terrible pun, but hopefully, Yang will be too distracted to follow up on the earlier topic.]

[onlyburnhotter]

[There's only one pun master around here! And there's no way... she'll... find that...]

Pffffftttt!

[Yang doubles over in laughter. She tried to hold it in, but the dramatic pause from Blake made the punchline all the better.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

[Well, okay. Puns may not be her thing, and it may have been a distraction over anything else, bu she still can't help but feel proud with a reaction like that.]

No snappy response? I might be better at this than I thought.

[onlyburnhotter]

[Yang in-between laughing fits, Yang manages to get a few words out.]

That pause... and your face... too perfect...

[fedupwithyourbull]

I'm glad it meets approval from our pun master.

[Though now that the adrenaline from the fight has worn off, she's shivering again.]

Do you want to find somewhere inside we can go?

[onlyburnhotter]

[Yang's rolling fits of laughter are starting to cease, but still she's rather low on air. So she'll merely stick a thumb up in the air, she's still doubled over, facing the ground. She does manage to squeak out:]

Sure.

[fedupwithyourbull]

Let's go.

[She's making a beeline for the nearest building, then.

The fact that this building smells like cooking fish is entirely coincidental.]

[onlyburnhotter]

[Yang is still giggling a little bit when they enter the building. She's mostly back under control now as she follows Blake to an open table and takes a seat.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

[And this is when Blake realizes the obvious problem.]

... Do you think they take lien here?

[onlyburnhotter]

I thought we just use those "credits" or whatever we're supposed to be getting from sponsors?

[fedupwithyourbull]

I just got here. Do we have those already?

[maybe she would if she'd actually go socialize, goddamnit.]

[onlyburnhotter]

Um, we should? I think we come in with a flat amount?

[fedupwithyourbull]

[She's checking... and now she feels awkward.]

... You'd think that would be part of the explanation we get about this place.

[onlyburnhotter]

[Yang just shrugs her shoulders in response.]

I guess. I've just been picking it all up as I go.

[fedupwithyourbull]

I was trying to do the same thing, until someone threw a snowball at my head.
