"What if we panned up from their feet?"&nbsp; <br><br>She had already rendered the change when she received the go ahead.&nbsp; She forwarded the two second piece to the team.&nbsp; It was better, she felt, but still not great.&nbsp; Perhaps someone else could help it out.<br><br>She glanced over her desk.&nbsp; Dozens of hand drawn stills of everything from settings and character designs to wardrobes covered the walls around her monitor.&nbsp; She'd poured a lot of herself into this game, and wanted every second to be amazing.&nbsp; She believed most of the team felt the same way which simply meant their expectations were just as high as her own.<br><br>Her chat box popped up, and a message from her supervisor read "looks good.&nbsp; Nice call."&nbsp; There were a number of other compliments from various teammates.&nbsp; They were all working late, even though the deadline for this cinematic was weeks away. A few minutes later another message from her lead appeared. "Time to go home, folks. Good work today."<br><br>Her eyes darted to the lower right of her computer screen and she was surprised to see the time.&nbsp; Another message appeared on the screen.&nbsp; "Drink at Rujio's!!!"&nbsp; Mila wasn't always the most socially inclined person, but she was very tempted to go.<br><br>She pulled her phone from her purse, which rested on the floor beneath her desk. There was a reminder that Kay, a friend from childhood, had moved back to Toronto today.&nbsp; While they had emailed off and on over the last few years, and even visited a time or two when they both were going to college in California, she hadn't seen Kay since way back then.&nbsp; <br><br>Mila twisted her lips in consideration for a moment, before she decided upon her action.&nbsp; She quickly typed out a group text and sent it to Kay, Tee, Charlie, and Auggie.&nbsp; "Impromptu gathering at Rujio's.&nbsp; Love to see you both."&nbsp; She then quickly copied the address for the local pub and sent that to her childhood friends.&nbsp; She believed Charlie would show, but wasn't sure about any of the others.&nbsp; She hadn't really seen or spoken to Auggie since he moved to live with his mom, even though he'd been back in Toronto for over a year.<br><br>She was such a horrible friend.&nbsp; <br><br>Well, the past was the past.&nbsp; Hopefully with Kay back everyone would want to get together for a type of reunion.&nbsp; The least she could do was try, she thought.&nbsp; <br><br>With the group text sent, Mila saved and closed the half dozen programs that were running, then shutdown her computer.&nbsp; She slipped her purse over her shoulder, finished off the now cold double mocha latte that had been delivered several hours ago, tossed the cup in the nearby recycling bin, and then headed toward the elevator with the rest of her coworkers.

In Toronto? The Village was actually right in the middle of downtown and though the rental prices were just a BIT high, she wouldn't trade it for anything. The noise, the parties, the people? This was a place where she was accepted, no matter the oddness of her hair and eyes, or the clothing she chose to wear.&nbsp; Hell, others looked just as fantastical as she did and no one ever looked twice. Of course, Tee cultivated that look. She did not want to fit what people assumed about her. She did not want to be average. Her younger years had made striving for adequacy a curse.<br><br>Tee allowed her brain to drift back in time as she contemplated the small group of people who had filled her early childhood with adventure. There had been Mila and Kay, of course as well Charlie (someone she'd had a very quiet crush on...even before she knew that others had those feelings all the time) and Auggie. She had adored him. He fit so perfectly with the girls, never made them feel stupid or less. He had been the perfect guy friend. However, real life had intervened and drawn them away from each other long ago. Hell, the only people she still chatted with regularly was Mila and Charlie. Kay? She'd lost touch with until a few years ago (Thank goodness for Facebook!!) and Auggie? She still hadn't really spoken with him. <br><br><span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font"><em>'I suck...'</em></span><br><br>Just then, her cell gave a little beep and she reached over to pick it up and check the screen. It was a text from Mila. <span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font"> "Impromptu gathering at Rujio's.&nbsp; Love to see you both."</span> With a minimum of fuss, Tee texted back a simple <span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">"See you there..."</span> before she gathered her empty mug and bustled back into her apartment. If she was going to see her people, she'd&nbsp; have to dress appropriately. She glanced down at herself, the conglomeration of pink and black, the edgy theme softened by the mixture of color and texture. <span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">'This is good enough.'</span><br><br>With a happy smile, Tee washed up her few dishes and called for a ride. Maybe she'd get there a bit early but it didn't matter. Hopefully, the others would be just as glad to see her!<br>

				<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b8/CharlieGymBars.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Cheyenne Watters<br><strong>Alias:</strong> Charlie, Lady Fray<br><strong>Wearing:</strong> As pictured (No belly tat though)<br><strong>Location:</strong> Church and Wellesley Neighborhood (The Village) (https://www.torontorentals.com/neighbourhood-guide/toronto/church-wellesley) | Gordy’s Boot Camp, 66 Gerrard St.<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Mila, Tee | The rest of the gang<br><strong>Content:</strong> Call for drinks<br><hr>The clang, clang of metal on metal and grunts and groans of muscle straining against heavy weight was comforting to Charlie.&nbsp; Gordy’s was one of her favorite gyms and the one she came to most often for her own workout. It felt almost as much like home as her apartment or the old cabin Fray had along the River Aqualine.&nbsp; She had spent many hours at the end of that dock, fishing pool in hand, catching upland grippy and sapphire trout.&nbsp; The comradery at Gordy’s was what she liked the most.&nbsp; It was big with the women of the Village and it was the first place to offer her a job as a trainer.&nbsp; She was freelance now but remained a guest trainer with Gordy’s in part because of nostalgia and in part loyalty to a safe place that helped her become the woman she was now.&nbsp; <br><br>“Okay just two more. Finish strong.” She said, her arms hovering over the bar but not touching.&nbsp; “You got this Meghan.”&nbsp; She encouraged.&nbsp; Charlie only trained women.&nbsp; It cut some of her clientele, but she didn’t have to worry about some of the difficulties of training guys, nutrition and physiology being the big one. Chauvinism and misogyny being the other.&nbsp; She would have said being hit was a factor but the higher population of gay and bi women in the Village meant it happened more often than she would have liked.&nbsp; When she was working, she was all business and had had to drop a couple of clients that didn’t want to take let’s keep this professional as an answer. <br><br>“I’m just using one finger.&nbsp; This is still all you, you can do this.” The young women under her began to strain beneath the weight and Charlie placed her index fingers under the bar adding just a little pressure to help the woman push through the catching point in her lift.&nbsp; “One more.&nbsp; You can do it.” To Meghan’s credit she let the bar down quickly and let it bounce against her.&nbsp; With a whistling exhale she pushed with all of her might.&nbsp; “Tighten that core.” Charlie instructed and once again placed her index fingers each side of the bar to help her through the last rep.&nbsp; <br><br>“Clank!”&nbsp; Charlie grabbed the bar when Meghan reached full extension and placed it back on the rack.&nbsp; Meghan was breathing hard, but her red face had a big smile.&nbsp; <br><br>“That’s a new personal record isn’t it.” Charlie asked knowing full well it was.&nbsp; Meghan nodded “Yeah.<br><br>“Great job.&nbsp; We are going to get you to that goal quick if you keep this up.” Charlie said and there was some pride in that voice.&nbsp; Meghan has come to her pretty out of shape but had been working very hard and it was paying off.&nbsp; She has lost fifteen pounds and her arms were starting to show some definition.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>“Thanks.&nbsp; I couldn’t have done it without you.” The woman offered and Charlie shook her head.<br><br>“This is all you.&nbsp; I am just here to help and hey I wasn’t even helping at the end.”&nbsp; The woman was beaming and well she should have.<br><br>“Did you want to do another month?” Charlie asked.&nbsp; There was always a point that people went out on their own and Meghan was probably close. <br><br>“I think so.” The woman answered.&nbsp; “Paying is keeping me honest about working out.”&nbsp; She admitted and Charlie chuckled.&nbsp; She had heard it a million times.<br><br>“Great.&nbsp; You can venmo me or paypal or…you know the drill.” Charlie said with a wave while Meghen toweled off her face. They said their goodbyes and Charlie hit the weights herself for a while.&nbsp; She had learned to give her clients a head start in the locker room that way she didn’t risk her or the client seeing the other change. Charlie didn’t have any plans for the evening and she had already worked out once today and so she did a quick circuit to maximize the workout while minimizing the time.&nbsp; By the time she was done Meghan was safely on her way with a wave as she passed and Charlie was free to hit the showers without an potential awkwardness with her client.&nbsp; She had just changed into her bra and panties when her phone chimed, and she pulled it out of her locker to check on it.&nbsp; There was a little red 2 staring at her.&nbsp; The text was from Mila and it brought a smile to her face.&nbsp; Drinks sounded like an outstanding idea.&nbsp; She must have text when Charlie was busy with Meghan.&nbsp; The second chime was the one she had heard from her locker.&nbsp; It was Tee and her smile broadened.&nbsp; Charlie flipped her hair back from her shoulder and quickly typed out a reply.<br><br>I’m in. &lt;3<br><br>It wasn’t unusual for Charlie to have a late session and need to rush for a night out.&nbsp; She had become rather adept at the quick change. She pulled the compact hair drier and make-up bag out of her duffel and set up her own little station in front of the bank of sinks and long mirror walled off from the lockers themselves.&nbsp; Charlie kept her make-up simple (for her) and juggled it with the hair drier like she was her own pit crew.&nbsp; Thank gods she had decided on a cute little white dress covered in flowers this afternoon.&nbsp; It hung in the locker and would be perfect for drinks with friends.&nbsp; When she was satisfied with the job she had done, she posed and before giving herself a playful wink flouncing back out to the locker room.&nbsp; Charlie shimmied into her dress and placed a pair of sneakers on her feet.&nbsp; She had a pair of utilitarian heels in the trunk of her car she would slip on when she got to the bar and found a place to park.&nbsp; She was beyond excited and wondered if the entire gang would show this time.<br>

He just didn't want to be reminded of it often. <br><br>The clicks of the ratchet could be heard between songs as he began to replace the engine on the old Victory Vegas 8ball.&nbsp; It was a nice bike, and the client had been a regular, so he didn't want lose them.&nbsp; So working these late hours wasn't uncommon for him since he came here almost two years ago.&nbsp; As the peak of the song rung out, his voice singing along with it, his phone was interrupted by a few chimes. <br><br>"Leave me alone!!!" <br><br>He shouted, not really knowing who was either texting or emailing him.&nbsp; The song soon returned, its best part ruined by the interruption.&nbsp; As he fastened the last bolt, another chime rang in (Charlie's text) and an annoyed exhale of air followed.&nbsp; He rose and walked over to the devise on the work bench, mostly expecting a piece of spam email.&nbsp; However, when he picked up and read, he was a bit surprised.<br><br>Reading the text over part of him smirked while the other was sad.&nbsp; The last time he recieved a group text from everyone was around Christmas wishing him a good one. Which sadly all he replied was "you too" and before that were condolence messages which looked like he didn't respond to at all.&nbsp; A sigh escaped him as he looked back to the bike. "Yeah, I should atheist go say hi. I owe them that" he nodded to himself before texting back "ill be there"<br><br>It wouldn't take him long to finish the project and slip upstairs to his apartment to shower and change.&nbsp; A slight nervousness began to ball up in his tummy as he hasn't seen them in so long.&nbsp; Would they even recognize him? <br><br><hr><br>The &nbsp;Indian Scout Bobber &nbsp;(https://www.cycleworld.com/resizer/NtSUg6GQmRrM_P1WGsaXKB2ytw4=/760x570/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-bonnier.s3.amazonaws.com/public/6YSJUSA6UI7EYDSRCVPXJ3RDHI.jpg) speed through the streets of Toronto as his eyes glanced to the GPS on his phone then back to the road.&nbsp; He was almost there and his stomach was still twisting in knots.&nbsp; The engine roared before pulling into a parking space near the bar.&nbsp; Killing the engine he slipped his helmet off before standing off the bike.&nbsp; He left the helmet and his jacket on the motorcycle before slowly walking over and entering the building.<br><br>A soft sigh escaoed him as he spoke.&nbsp; "Here we go" he muttered as he let the door close behind him, green eyes scanning the current room.

She had parked in a lot about a block away and slipped on her heels before tossing her sneakers onto the passenger side floorboards and standing up to smooth out her dress.&nbsp; Her hair was a bit messy but not do much that it didn’t look intentional and she had rushed her make-up in the gym.&nbsp; Nothing was perfect but then again neither was Charlie.&nbsp; She was just close enough.<br><br>Heels clicked on the pavement as she rushed to down the concrete walk and into Rujio’s.&nbsp; Charlie dipped her sunglasses down her nose to scan the bar for familiar faces.&nbsp; She was quite sure she would recognize Tee and Mila.&nbsp; She was less so Kay and Auggie, the later she had almost completely drifted apart from.&nbsp; He hadn’t seemed interested in keeping in touch and Charlie was way to busy to make all the effort in tracking someone that didn’t want anything to do with her from her point of view.&nbsp; She had seen the message that he was coming but she would believe it when he got there.<br><br>Charlie could be forgiven for falling to notice that he had been standing in the doorway right next to her. She had even checked out the firm back and tight ass he had.&nbsp; Guys weren’t always Charlie’s cup of tea, but she certainly admired the dedication to fitness that the man, she didn’t know was Auggie, had.&nbsp; The glance was passing as she did have a purpose that had nothing to do with a cute ass packed into a pair of blue jeans. Her eyes stopped on a table not too far away.&nbsp; There was a beautiful blonde woman who was chatting with another woman with shoulder length auburn hair that she was reasonably certain belonged to Mila.&nbsp; She began winding her way around tables to get a better look. She would recognize the almost elven features of Mila anywhere.&nbsp; Irresistibly cute and pixie-ish with piercing green eyes. Charlie “SQUEEEED” with delight.<br><br>“MILA!” she called and patrons turned to look as Charlie hurried over to the table and wrapped her arms around the woman in a tight hug.&nbsp; “Oh my god. You look amazing.&nbsp; And KAY! My god.&nbsp; Sexy as fuck!” She said releasing Mila and gathering the blonde in her strong embrace.&nbsp; It was obvious that Charlie was a hugger.&nbsp; Her glasses came off and she tucked them in to a clutch she was carrying. She hadn’t sat down yet as her eyes still scanned the bar.&nbsp; “Any sign of Tee-Tee yet?&nbsp; She asked her voice still carrying with her excitement. She didn’t mention Auggie as she still doubted the man would show.&nbsp; Of all of the group Tee was the person she talked to the most with Mila a very close second but rarely had they gotten together and she missed her awkward little archer.<br>

"Tee Tee?" &nbsp;She asked curiously, who didn't look like she had grown much with a gothish, retro look that looked super cute with white hair. &nbsp;"Oh my goddesss.. it has been soo long!" She hugged the smaller young woman. <br><br>With Tee Tee was a buff, tall man.&nbsp; Kay blinked several times as she realized this was Auggie all grown up, "Oh my goddess, how did you get so big Auggie?"

Waiting to find that special girl I can sweep off of her feet.”&nbsp; It wasn’t clear if her comment was meant for Tee or the pretty waitress and Charlie wasn’t telling. “You know, the uuush.” <br>

Charlie.&nbsp; The woman was stacked, and kind of made Mila feel somewhat inadequate in her own skin.<br><br>Her eyes went back to Auggie as he spoke.&nbsp; She couldn't help but stare at his hair, and his broad shoulders.&nbsp; <strong>"Did you really just order an Angry Orchard?&nbsp; Is that even considered alcohol?"</strong> she teased.&nbsp; For some reason, the thought of a big guy like him drinking some fru-fru hard cider just made her laugh.&nbsp; <strong>"How's business?"</strong> she changed the subject then gestured toward the BBQ wings.&nbsp; <strong>"Sorry, haven't eaten since lunch.&nbsp; Help yourselves."</strong><br><br>Mila unwrapped her silverware set, and began to cut her salad.&nbsp; <strong>"I'm a concept artist for a game developer,"</strong> she told Auggie after everyone else went around and told him what they were doing.<br><br>She glanced at Kay, <strong>"you didn't really give yourself much time to get situated.&nbsp; You're first day is tomorrow and you barely moved in today?"</strong>&nbsp; She wondered how long Kay was going to stick around.&nbsp; The blonde had ordered water after all.<br><br>She took a tiny bite of her salad, aware no one else was eating, but too famished to wait for any other food to arrive.&nbsp; She covered her mouth as she chewed and regarded whoever was currently talking.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>"I still play.&nbsp; When I have the time,"</strong> she informed the busty blonde.&nbsp; <strong>"Haven't had a chance to play in awhile, though."</strong>&nbsp; She frowned next, <strong>"I'd love to, but my apartment is pretty small."</strong>&nbsp; She confessed.<br><br>As Sara came back with their drinks, and a wide smile for Charlie, she placed another martini in front of Mila.<br><br><strong>"I didn't order this,"</strong> Mila began before the waitress informed her the gentleman at the next table sent it to her.<br><br>Mila quickly noted it was the same co-worker who'd bought her the first round.&nbsp; She gave a polite smile and wave to the older man whose seemed to take fashion advice from Bill Nye - bow tie and all.<br><br>She put her hand to her lips, obviously unsure what to do.&nbsp; It was equally obvious that she wasn't particularly flattered or receptive.

Waiting to find that special girl I can sweep off of her feet. You know, the uuush."</span><br><br>Tira blinked. Charlie's response had sent a thrill through her and vibrated at around heart level while a rush of heat swept over her cheeks. She couldn't tell who the beautiful amazon was SPEAKING to but that didn't matter.&nbsp; Before she could even think to stop herself, words tumbled out, a low teasing refrain lilted on honey-rich tones.&nbsp; <span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">"Most girls only think they are special, beauty. Make sure you don't confuse Miss Right with Miss Right Now. I did that shit once...it sucked."</span> A grin tickled at the corners of her mouth before she shifted slightly and dropped her gaze; all to focus on what else was being said.<br><br>Auggie's deep voice agreed with her assessment of bike rides owed and she allowed a giggle to escape. <span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">"When I come and find you, don't act like you are confused as to why!!"</span> She smirked for a moment and placed her order for water and some fries as the waitress sidled by. Tira had never been much of a drinker nor much of a people person. However, this small group was the family she'd lost and found. They weren't JUST friends anymore, even with the loss of years spent together.<br><br>A small elbow nudged at Mila. <span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">"If you think it's amazing than I am sure to be overwhelmed once the initial trailers and stuff release. Can't wait to see it."</span> Mila had always been the one Tee reached out to when gamer stuff happened. In truth, Tee hadn't ever really allowed herself to lose contact with the other young woman. They had shared too many things when they were younger, had too many commonalities. If Charlie was her unresolved crush? Mila was the one who was slotted into best friend ever status. Kay had been her nerdgasm friend and Auggie was the guy who could have PROBABLY made her straight if she even understood what that meant. Each of these people meant something special to her and the fact that she'd lost contact with all of them for so long made her unutterably sad.<br><br>Things were much better now that they were together again.<br><br>Kay's light soprano broke through the clouds of gray and drew another grin to her features. <span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">"I haven't really gamed in years. Well, besides the tons of FPS and MMO's. However, not good old pen and paper, imagination going wild sorta things. You get a group together, I'm in. Hell, a good friend of mine in the Village hosts an open house for Magic: The Gathering once a week. A little bit of cash in hand and we could rent his backroom on either Saturday night or Sunday afternoon."</span> She paused and glanced around. <span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">"He owns Idle Hands on Wellesley, you know the gamer shop?" </span><br><br>Suddenly, there was martini being served to Mila and a rush of chuckles as that young woman gave the proffered drink the blankest look ever seen. Tee was tempted to grab it up and drain it herself but figured that would be going too far. Instead, she captured the other woman's gaze with her own and asked, <span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">"D'you actually WANT that?"</span><br>

That had been a disaster.&nbsp; Mila had been her beautiful and poised self and Charlie had been a nervous gangly wreck.&nbsp; That was how Charlie remembered it anyway. <br><br>“Thanks for the drink darlin’.” She said loud enough for the man and any nearby table to hear.&nbsp; “But she is my date tonight, so you are just gonna have to ask her out some other time, okay?&nbsp; Thaaaaank Youuuuuu.” She added the last in a sing-song voice laden with sweetness and added a light waggle of a wave to boot.&nbsp; “You mind taking this Auggie?” she asked sliding the martini towards her hunky friend.&nbsp; “I am sure we can get our waitress to add some apple Schnapps to it if you want.” She added with a playful smirk. Charlie settled in next to Mila and snuggled up like it was the most natural thing to do in the world. <br>&nbsp;<br>When Sara returned she leaned over and told her quietly. “Can you give Bow-tie guy over there another of whatever he is having and tell him no hard feelings,” Sara gave her a knowing smile and nodded before Charlie turned her attention back to the table.&nbsp; “Sooooooo.&nbsp; What game are we playing?”<br>

He shrugged trying not to put a dampened on the mood.&nbsp; Luckily for him, that's when the drink arrived for Mila. He laughed as Charlie practically raised her leg like a dog to claim the young artist. <br><br>When the martini was shoved into his hand almost he lifted it and turned to wink at the man.&nbsp; "Thanks big guy, I'm not a one drink kind of gal though" he joked as he downed it. Drinking too much broke his role for himself, yet this was too good an opportunity to pass up. He set the glass down and turned back towards the girl's.&nbsp; "Sorry" he blushed "it was too good to pass up. If he keeps bothering you Mila, I can go rough him up or something for ya."<br><br>When the subject switched to playing again and places to do it, Auggie seemed to brighten up a bit more.&nbsp; It had been forever since he played anything, and mentally a get away of that sorts would be nice.<br><br>"I can host!" He almost blurted loud enough for the whole place to hear.<br><br>"I mean I'd love to host," hisnfave was red again "if you'd like.&nbsp; I have a nice sized office and large desk in the shop" he smirked

"The systems I currently like are Dungeons and Dragons 5e and Dungeon World, both systems are pretty easy to pick up.&nbsp; Dungeon World is more narrative and less rules.&nbsp; &nbsp;D&amp;D 5e is a simple well balanced rules system and it will be in the fantasy world I have been developing ever since we played when we were kids." None of them had played together since they were kids, and Kay had a lot more experience at gaming now. <br><br>When Mila got the drink, she eyed the man who had sent it and shook her head.&nbsp; Did he really think he had a chance with Mila?&nbsp; The busty blonde giggled as Charlie stepped in and did a good job of laying claim to her best friend.&nbsp; If she didn't know that they weren't dating and that Charlie was probably more interested in Tee Tee, she would have bought the act.&nbsp; Passing the martini to Auggie and then Auggie stepping up and drinking with a wink and thanking the dude, it was priceless.&nbsp; <br><br>"That was fantastic Auggie!" She enthused with her soft voice, "Between you and Charlie, no way is he bothering Mila again."&nbsp; She hoped, those two made a pretty intimating pair with all the buffness.&nbsp; Both of them very protective of their friends, the skinny dude wasn't going to buck that combo.&nbsp; And not that Mila needed the help, her friend had her ways of discouraging people that were equally as effective, just not a in your face.<br><br>"That is completely understandable Auggie.&nbsp; I only drink occasionally, I am a super lightweight drunk.&nbsp; And the morning after is never worth it." She pretend shuddered at the headache, ickiness that came with the morning. <br><br>Being the organized person she was she looked at the others, "Now we just have to agree on a time.&nbsp; This weekend is out, but maybe the following weekend?&nbsp; By that time I should be ready to go."&nbsp; She offered as a starting point for gaming. This was a little bit tight for her but she didn't want this to get put on the back burner because of busy lives.&nbsp; And the first session would be more of them just being together and making characters and talking about the game world.

His head was in a dark place.&nbsp; He almost didn't even show tonight to meet his longest friends. He was working on that customers bike, debating life as music blared to try and drown out the thoughts racing through his skull.<br><br>It wasn't until that text came through that a spark seemed to hit him.&nbsp; The girls replied that they'd be there, even she replied yes.&nbsp; He was apprehensive again as he'd never let her know how he felt, a feeling that had stuck with him since feria.&nbsp; Yet as he was about to put his phone down, Nazrysk's voice echoed in his head calling him out on his cowardice, so he conceeded and excepted.<br><br>The sound of an awful lady singing brought him back to reality and he looked back up to his friends.&nbsp; <em>'Maybe you should stop being a coward'</em> Naz's voice hit him again.&nbsp; He would never tell them his thoughts, he would never tell her his thoughts.&nbsp; However, maybe he could sing them? Standing he excused himself with a joke.&nbsp; "The ladies room calls!"

She barely contained a squeal of excitement as she smiled at her friends, it was going to be like old times.<br><br>She smiled as conversation flowed naturally between the 4 as memories of their time as kids were resurfacing.&nbsp; AS Auggie left the table for a moment she turned to Mila with a smile, "This weekend would be appreciated, anytime you are free.&nbsp; I will have your favorite foods and drinks on hand."&nbsp; She smiled happily at Mila.&nbsp; <br><br>She smiled mischievously at Charlie, "You are going to love how paladins work now."&nbsp; She informed her sexy, buff friend as she looked over her friends.&nbsp; The busty blonde was glad that Mila was conversant in the latest version of D&amp;D, it was a good system and now Mila would be able to help anyone who was new to the system.&nbsp; Freeing up Kay to going over what others had created and crafting a story around the characters back story. <br><br>Kay had been doing her best to ignore the karaoke going on, lots of bad singers go up to display their lack of talent.&nbsp; Not that she was a good singer, but at least she knew she was a bad singer.&nbsp; That didn't stop her from singing while she was at home to herself, but she didn't willingly inflict her singing on others.&nbsp; Shock spread across her face as she heard Auggie's name being called.&nbsp; She looked over to her tall friend at the bar as he moved over to take his place in front of the microphone.&nbsp; &nbsp;She looked at the others,'Umm... does anyone know if Auggie can sing?" &nbsp;She asked curiously with her soft voice.&nbsp; She was pleasantly surprised when he wasn't terrible, as she tried to figure out why he had chosen this song to sing.
