Tessa and Uriah - -]<br/><br/>Well, there was one thing you could say about Tessa:  the girl was very thorough.  She began an in depth explanation of what exactly as dress code entailed.  It was polite, articulate, kind of flirty, and.. well, Chie decided to just go with it.  She hadn't thought about it up to that point, but it was entirely possible that the staff here wasn't entirely familiar with her physiology.  The fact that amorphous, moist beings with no real human sex organs, and with constantly expanding or receding mass, might not prefer never to wear clothes at all!  To say nothing of the fact that they would invariably dissolve on Chie's skin, if for no better reason than as a form of nourishment.  It was for that reason Chie hadn't actually, ah, packed any.  Not except for a synthetic fiber swimsuit that she couldn't disintegrate.<br/><br/>Chie might have taken the time to correct her, if it had been anyone else.  But to be honest, Chie appreciated Tessa's gesture.  Despite all the guests and, sheesh, all the other things this woman no doubt needed to attend to, Tessa had taken a moment to thoroughly address her concerns.  And even added a little bit of teasing for good measure.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"Her name is Uriah.  And thank you so much.  She lives inside this other necklace I'm wearing, so she'll, ah, be in my room until you need her."</strong></span>she bubbled in reply, smiling.  Chie's social skills might not be world class, but she knew good service when she saw it.<br/><br/>[- - Aoi and Galetea - -]<br/><br/>Speaking of those social skills, however.  "As well, I may have to...decline on your offer..." intoned the Prince, referring to her rather graphic fantasy.  Chie honestly would have felt mortified, in different circumstances.  Aoi was turning progressively deeper shades of red!  In fact, the only thing she'd said so far that really seemed to comfort him was pointing out Callista.  Who, apparently, was also royalty.  Chie blinked a little, trying to digest that, and finding herself unable to fully process that ALL this man's native-world classmates were royalty.  She felt the sudden urge to sit down.  Or, more accurately, to sink into a puddle and just.. process.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"That's alright."</strong></span>she said to Aoi, her voice gentle and easy.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"You, ah, made a much better first impression than I did, after all!  Maybe I'll, ah, get another chance sometime."</strong></span>She gave him an honest smile.  Despite embarrassing herself, she didn't feel much shame for being refused by Aoi.  As if a Slime like her would ever have a chance with a literal goddamn Prince.  ...right?<br/><br/>But then looked to Galetea, who looked positively petrified.  That was different.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"Oh.  Oh, oh, I'm sorry.  I didn't think that, ah, maybe you hadn't met many.."</strong></span>Chie stopped mid sentence, and curious expression coming over her face.  There was no way to say what she was going to try to say without being at least a little rude to somebody.  Instead, Chie reached into her thigh and pulled out a small vial.  One that had leaked before, so it only had so much in it, but enough to make it worth the thought.  With a soft, almost nervous smile, Chie offered it to the hostess.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"Here.  For stressy things.  Like slimes who don't have filters."</strong></span>Chie winced a little.  Dear god, she was making puns.  Abort, her internal alarm shouted.  Abort social contact!  Save yourself!<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"Ah, nothing narcotic or anything.  A drop or four, on the skin or in a drink, should do it."</strong></span>Chie bowed slightly to them both.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"I really do hope I see you both around, though!"</strong></span>With a wave and a smile, she twisted her body and was off.<br/><br/>[- - Vallen, Archer, and Reggie - -]<br/><br/>Words cannot describe the relief Chie felt when running into Vallen.  The slime girl laughed as they rushed at each other and gave one-another a strong hug.  Those watching would noticed the zombie girl being lifted off the ground by an inch or two, and almost completely drawn into Chie's body.  Those that didn't know Chie or Vallen might have remembered how certain slimes liked to drown their prey inside themselves.  But for the two monster girls, this was just a full body hug, and a welcome one.  As she pulled away and started explaining, though, Chie's expression became worried.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"Oh my god, that's what that was!!"</strong></span>she cried, looking over at Archer with a renewed respect.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"And you went right out and saved her!  That.. ah, well.. at the very least, I know I can't charge you for more of those chemicals.  Thank you so much, for getting her!"</strong></span><br/><br/>Vallen picked up on that, asking if she'd done something weird to Archer.  Chie giggled, enjoying the jeering tone, and let Archer explain a little.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"You're not the only one that had a rough ride, Val.  I was splattered over the entire crowd when I came through.  My chemicals spilled a little, and he picked up the part of me they were floating around in.  He, ah.. seems to like weird things.."</strong></span>Chie giggled a little, but then thought for a moment, putting a finger to her cheek.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"Wow, though.  Val, if our situations had been reversed, that could have been really bad."</strong></span>Chie contemplated how easily she could have ended up in the ocean, or how Vallen's dismembered body parts would have exploded from the URom Portal.<br/><br/>They needed to address that now.  Chie looked around quickly, finding who she was looking for and pointing to Hizzy.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"You know, that one there? The one you just offered to be a magic crash dummy for?  She already gave that smug portal operator a piece of her mind.  She apparently can fix the portals a bit, so we won't get clobbered on the way home.  Also summons tentacle beasts or something.  We should make sure she can have a look before we travel back in a week."</strong></span>Chie giggled.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"I also wouldn't mind if you bring me along, for experiment time!"</strong></span>Chie also looked around and saw Jay, pulling Vallen close and whispering to her.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"That's the one I offered to play mad scientist with, over there!  The one with the metal arm and the half dissolved shirrrr.."</strong></span><br/><br/>Chie looked down at Vallen, or more specifically the state of her clothing after a full body hug.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"Whoops."</strong></span>she smiled, nervously.  Not as bad as it could have been, more wet than dissolved, but this place was too high energy.  Chie was getting hungry, and it was getting harder to control.  Chie also took a moment to look at Vallen's face, caressing it just a moment with a tiny tendril from her hair.  Chie loved her real face, and smiled a little at her.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"I've got to go get settled, before I collapse.  You should stop by later!  I have to put my own face on, and I have something new that should hold up in the saltwater a bit better."</strong></span><br/><br/>She did pause as Archer introduced Reggie, bowing to her slightly.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"Nice to meet you!  So you're even better than Archer is in your school?  You must be something else!"</strong></span>Chie lifted her necklace and offered to tap it against Reggie's, beaming at her from her translucent blue face.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"After saving Vallen, any friend of Archer's is a friend of mine!  We should all hang out soon!"</strong></span>Which reminded her, of course, to make sure she tapped Archer as well.<br/><br/>[- - Jay, Sarah, and Hizzy - - (mentioning Rayne and Lebhannah)]<br/><br/>She did want to stay and talk to Reggie and the rest, but she was also getting to her limit.  Never mind the high energy of the crowd, or the warm weather.  Chie was still recovering from getting blown into tiny bits of blob from the transport portal.  She was eager to have a moment to settle.<br/><br/>Even so, however.  Since Archer was right next to Jay and Sarah, Chie still took the opportunity to tap necklaces with them, whenever she could do so without being rude to Reggie or the others.  It seemed Jay was eager to get out of this churning mass of bodies and excitement as well.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"If you're heading to, ah.. Section 6, I think?  I'd love to join you!  I shouldn't assume, but are you two rooming together!"</strong></span>Chie looked down at the Necklace, mumbling to herself a little.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>"I wonder who this is?  Well.. with a name like Rain, I'm sure it'll be fine!"</strong></span><br/><br/>She paused for just a moment, giving Hizzy a meaningful look from where she stood.  If she managed to catch the witch's eyes, Chie would extend her necklace out towards her on a slimey tendril, offering to tap it against her's.  If Hizzy was too busy with the Holy Messenger of God, that is.  She wondered what sort of angel would be here on Spring Break, but realized she wasn't complaining.  Not altogether, anyhow.  It was a little off-putting, to be a monster around a literal agent of divinity.  But she couldn't say it wasn't intriguing.<br/><br/>[- - Outro - -]<br/><br/>Chie wasn't in a super hurry to leave, but honestly was getting to the point where puddling out and seeping into something dark, damp, and refreshing sounded extremely appealing.  Not to mention, joining Jay and Sarah for a short walk to the residences sounded fun.
