"Y'know, you're not gonna get any girls be being a rude jackass. I was only making a suggestion." Birri turned her back to A.J. "I was just thinking that, since my belly can deal with nearly everything, including bones, you might want to get that stuff off as soon as possible, especially in the ShyGuy's case..."
"It's an island?" Flynn paused "Why do we need a blimp to get to an island?"

Upon the birdo's statement about girls A.J. slumped over physically, groaning. It was bad enough his own relatives and aquaintances and friends from day to day ever presently pestered his lack of ability to wrangle himself a girlfriend, but now STRANGERS too? Steve continued to wipe at his sleeves, although noting Birri's statement. "Oooh- I see what you mean now. This tingling sensation. Is that not your stomach acid eating away? It is.~ Well a trip to the fountain might be wise."
"It's an island....in the SKY!~" Mimi quipped, beaming. "It jus' floats up there, nothing to hold it up!~"

((It's super effective!))
"Well you're certainly smarter than you look." Birri adressed Steve "I think I should probably wash you off myself, stay there for a sec, okay?" And with that she immediately made off towards the fountain.
"An island... in the sky?" Flynn was trying his best to contain his exitement, at the risk of embarrassing himself in front of Mimi. "Okay, THIS I'VE GOTTA SEE!" Too late...

Steve looked down to the can still clutched in his nub and let it drop seeing that most of the content had emptied out of the hole that was eaten away through the metal. He shuffled in a patient manner- although the prickling sensation was still nipping through his body- A.J. too started to feel the effects on his face, which he kept wiping at with his sleeve.
Mimi practically glowed at his enthusiasm and tugged him along, glad to have someone excited to take part in something she loved to do. It was like pulling teeth to convince A.J. to take the trip with her.

Without any kind of warning, a forceful jet of water hit both A.J. and Steve. Although it was strong enough to knock both of them down, it did manage to wash them off. "There!" Birri chirped, standing over them "Any better?"

A.J. sputtered the liquid, now laying soggy on the ground, his entire outfit drenched. "Oh yea- much." He hissed, trying (and failing miserably) to keep it together. Steve merely floated atop his bag in the small puddle that formed. "The flood came without notice." The shyguy said, peering over his bag. "I was naught prepared- I must ration my alcoholic beverages until help arrives!" A.J. narrowed his eyes, snapping at the deluded guy, "Steve- you're in an inch of water!"

"Oh, you are too much!" Birri giggled with glee, she stepped up to Steve and scooped him up in a big hug "And to think I actually tried to eat you!" She continued to dote upon the Slightly-psychotic Guy for a while.

Mimi led Flynn to a pipe that would warp them to the nearest city selling tickets- which in this case happened to be a luxurious little divison nestled in the clearing past Dimble Woods. A lot of snootier folk lived around the area, it was similar to Poshley Heights. They approached the booth window- from which sold tickets for various things, from everything ranging from a train ride to a play, and Glitzville was no exception. "Yes?~" The Toad operating the booth spoke, regarding them with a bored gaze. "Two tickets to ride the blimp to Gliztville please!~" Mimi spoke up. The Toad proceeded to input the commands into his register. "That'll be 200 coins." Blimp rides were no freebie. Mimi sighed, almost pouting as she extracted the little coin purse, dumping A.J.'s money into the counter. He was gonna kill her....but at least she'd be able to have fun before she had to go home to 'face the music.' The Toad swept the change into the cashbox and slid two tickets across the counter for them.

All these snooty looking folk, it was starting to make Flynn uncomfortable. He could just feel everyone judging his scruffy appearance, he even heard the mention of "Urchin"... but weren't urchins those things that live underwater?
He sheepishly took his ticket "Uh, by the way" he whispered to Mimi "The people in Glitzville aren't like this, are they?"

"Like wha? Oh.....all old and stuffy you mean?" A few people 'hmphed' loudly upon hearing her and walked off, throwing their boas over their shoulders pompously. "Naw! There's all KINDSA folks that go to watch the fights!~ I can't wait for you to see- you'll totally be amazed. I love it up there, I wish I could stay forever!~" She handed him his ticket and walked off towards the center of town, a street jutting north from the center led to where the blimp was. "Come on!~" She urged at him to follow along.

"Well, old, stuffy, pompous, arrogant, kinda smell like fish..." Flynn added as he followed Mimi. THis place clearly wasn't good for him, so many dignitaries, the urge to cause pointless mayhem was welling up.

(I'll make a new thread for Gliztville when we come to it, if that's cool with you. X3 )
Mimi giggled at the latter of his list. "Hey, maybe they can't help it." Truthfully she was never one to criticize someone even when they did so to her. It just didn't feel very 'hero' like in her opinion. Which of course, these snooty folk definitely did every chance she came here to buy her tickets. "I remember one time I fell into a pile of garbage at the dump and I smelled like rotten fruit for a month." She OTL'ed for a moment at the remembrance, and her prevelant dislike for fruits now. "We're lucky the tickets haven't run out- normally when there's a big show at the Pit, it's PACKED. I always try to go when Gonzales is in town." She giggled at the mention of her idol as they approached the blimp.

(Sure. I was actually thinking of a new RP with Wendy or something...)
"Gonzales? Is he Spanish or something?" Flynn asked. Of course he didn't know anyone at the Glitz pit but she really seemed to admire this Gonzales fellow a lot...

Steve relaxed in her arms, content in the coddling, or unaware of it in any case. A.J. mentally slapped himself as he tried to look uncaring, but secretely he was filled with envy. All the shyguy had to do was be his quirky, psycho self and people ADORED him. A.J. couldn't even get a girlfriend.
Mimi stepped up to the blimp attendant, handing him her ticket. "Oh, no, Gonzales is an alias-just a stage name."

Birri couldn't help but notice A.J.s mood "Ooh, looks like someone's jealous!" Birri cooed, hugging Steve a little tighter.
Flynn raised an eyebrow "A stage name, eh? You mean like.... um, I don't know any others." smooth Flynn, real smooth.
