Aron returns the fist bump enthusiastically, fully assuming Avel can handle it. "Will do, man! Pops expects a lot from me while I'm here, but all work and no play... well, you know the rest, yeah? Take care!"
Any music's good music with friends. Content that he's at least made a contact, Aron heads home for the day.

Aron
Avel runs off to a waiting car. A woman covered in tattoos greets him when he gets close. Not... really surprising.
Aron and Avel reached Relationship Rank 2!

Nora
You head to Vitcorp and the doorman lets you in. As you step inside, you almost crash right into one of the twins. Her eyes are closed in the middle of a long yawn and you have to shuffle out of the way, before reflexively letting out a yawn yourself.
"Hm...? Oh, sorry..." she mutters. "I didn't-" she stops, cut off by another yawn. You start to answer with another yourself. "Oh, we're going to get stuck in a loop... Excuse me."
You spend the day looking over documents that are very, very hard to focus on after last night.
Gain a Knowledge.
You get a message from Alice during your break. "By the way, did you have any particular requests for later?"
Floyd
You go into town and start thinking of places Mareena might like. And then you realize... you're not entirely sure. She has a habit of not actually saying much about herself other than that she is, indeed, very great. She seems to enjoy messing with people, and climbing trees, and watching people... Maybe sitting in a coffee shop and just watching crowds? Or would she prefer climbing up some high building? There's plenty to choose from, you could scout for one with roof access. Or, um... maybe you could find a tree downtown? Somewhere else to watch people from... The theater? The museum?
Dewey, Aron, Floyd
You head downtown, looking for a gym or a track or just something to do. You spot Nora heading into Vitcorp and almost bumping into Raine. The city is busy today, despite the weather. Looks like a lot of people are darting about, trying to finish chores and errands before the weather turns.
Avalon is walking past some of the high-end clothing stores, peering in the windows and occasionally pausing to write something in a journal.
A black-haired girl you don't completely recognize is dressed in a trench coat and large sunglasses. She's waiting by the museum, but starts following behind the grey-haired underclassman as she comes out of it.
Lance is sitting in front of the library, glaring at the clouds.
Tia, the blue haired girl, seems to be wandering around aimlessly while staring at the sky.
Sachi is standing between two side-by-side restaurants. Both look like small cafes, the type that love serving fancy brunch. He seems to be wearing a fake mustache?
The injured kid is walking around with a bag. Looks like he was out shopping for something.

Nora thinks for a moment before texting Alice back.
"Hmmm... I think I'll leave everything up to you, love. Both for the stipulations of our match and what to have to eat, naturally."

Dewey stares suspiciously at the black haired girl at first, considering tailing her but not liking his chances alone if she spots and confronts him. There’s also a part of him that really wants to go ask Sachi why the hell he’s wearing that, but opts to instead approach Tia. “Rather bleak looking weather, isn’t it?”

Aron assesses that while it might be nice to help out this injured fellow, he's in no need of immediate assistance and probably has his dignity still intact. Instead, he waits for a lull in traffic and makes a beeline across the street, standing in-front of the black haired girl and folding his arms authoritatively.
"Ma'am, does that gentleman up there happen to be your ex or something? Are you sure you're making the right choices right now?" Aron gives her a stern yet sympathetic stare. "You could be in church right now or something, you know? Or out there making a difference in your life."

Floyd waves to Lance and Raine as he passes them on his quest to find the perfect place....after awhile he decides maybe combining all of Marrena's interests into one location is a little far-fetched and goes to see any places in town to sign-up for Dance lessons

Nora (Afternoon)
After work you head downstairs. The receptionist takes a look at you. "Goodbye, Miss- oh, are you going to visit Alice? I'll let her know."
When you get to Alice's room, she opens the door, invites you in, and immediately takes a seat at the table. A pair of large, fancy sandwiches and two fancy cardboard cups full of soup are sitting out, with her chessboard waiting to the side. "Oh, my. You do look tired, Nora. Well, burgers and burritos and barbeque are all good, but whenever I'm tired I just want a nice, hot soup and a chilled sandwich to juxtapose it, with plenty of vegetables. We have... two vegetable soups, and chicken or ham sandwiches. Take whichever you like, they're both excellent. From a lovely little deli not far from here."
Dewey
Tia nods. "Yeah... And it's cold, too... I don't mind the wet, but cold is bad. I don't... um... how did Somnis put it? Have a... um... metabolic... endo... ex... therm... um... She says I'm weird. Like I'm cold-blooded but not." She starts to stick her tongue out, then stops. "It, um... wet makes cold worse."
Aron
The girl in the coat stares at you. "My ex? What, no. That's Sachi. Ew. And of course I'm not in church right now. Vivian's not at church, she's over there. And I need to see what she's up to!"
The grey-haired girl pauses, glancing your way.
The girl in the trench coat jumps behind you. "Shh! She's looking this way. Act natural."
Vivian stares for a moment, then shrugs and walks towards Sachi.
"Too close! Now, what is she up to..." Trenchcoat says. "Pssst, hey, make yourself useful and find out."
Floyd
You go looking for a dance studio. It takes some time, but you do eventually find a place. "Yes, hello!" the receptionist says. He looks you up and down. "Not dressed for dancing... so I take it you're a first-timer? Well, you're just in time. The beginner class meets just before lunch on weekends. If you want to stick around and watch before you decide to sign up, you're more than welcome."

Nora smiles. "You're too kind, love."
She sits down and takes the ham sandwich, stifling a yawn. "Ended up tagging along to the Otherworld. Killed one of those leeches... Late night. How are you, dear?"

Aron pauses for a moment. "...But she's not your ex either, right?" He asks, visibly confused. "I'm not going to help you stalk someone, you know. Why do you feel you can't approach her yourself? You can be honest with me."

“Sounds like you need a better jacket then. Although I suppose while that would help keep the water off, based on what Somnis said that may not actually help with the cold, would it? Unless... hm... maybe... I think I have an idea, if you’d like to try something?”

Nora
Alice takes the chicken sandwich and shrugs. "Not great. Better than yesterday, at least. I got to think a bit, but I didn't really get anywhere. And I put some extra work in my physical therapy this morning. I'm still kinda sore, so don't be too rough on me if you somehow manage to win, OK?" Alice takes a bite of her sandwich, chews a bit, then seems to droop and just swallow. "I'm just... so pissed that I'm still doing most of the same work to cover Mattea's ass because I still care about making sure everything is run well, even though... no one else really seems to." She pokes her soup with her fork. "...I guess Natsumi at least said she was sorry I lost. And Tom, but he was my campaign manager so that hardly counts, does it?" She gives a weak smile.
Aron
The girl crouches slightly and you can feel her glaring behind her glasses. "Because she's evil. I can feel it. Oh and also because it would be counter-productive to ask my direct competition how to flirt with my crush. Duh. Don't you know anything about tactics? You don't want your enemy to know what you're plotting until you're ready to move against them. And steal their girl." She stands up straighter and points up. "All warfare is based on deception! Like fake beards. Why do you think Sun Tzu had a beard?"
Dewey
Tia cocks her head. "Like Somnis? She usually just hugs me until I stop being cold. Is that the plan? OK." She holds her arms out. "...Oh, wait, did you mean you have some other idea?"

Nora smiles back. "Progress is progress, dear. You doing better- even a little- is a win. Oh, and I finally got around to properly introducing myself to Tom! We sat down for lunch yesterday. Seems like a really nice fellow. He agrees with me, you know? About finding you something new to do to help take the sting off. Still not sure what, but like I said, progress is progress, hm?"
She pauses to take a bite of her sandwich. "Want me to stay for the day so you have some company?"

Floyd nods enthusiastically "That sounds great!" He texts Marrena 'What is the GREAT MARRENA's Availability like around Noon on Weekends?'

Dewey seems surprised at how nonchalantly Tia suggests this. “...I suppose that would work but what I had in mind is a bit more long-lasting, not to mention can work without needing anyone else. We’ll need to visit the mall, but I’d be more than happy to pay for everything we need.”
