Levon

"Not bad! I think you're gonna be better than me" he said as he picked up his ball and headed for his lane. He set up, wiggled his butt a bit for show and then hurled the ball down the land.
Levon Bowling first frame
Neptune rolled 1d100 and got 68

Skye bowls, her stance looking very professional but she only knocks down 6 pins. Levon was obviously watching two closely as his ball follows the exact same path as he misses.

Emma

Emma watches the others bowl, and smiles. It was nice to see everyone just... relax... after the drama of the day.

Ian

He headed to the food counter and ordered a smattering of greasy, salty goodies along with a couple of pitchers. On impulse he also picks up an order of nachos. After securing help to bring everything over he delivers the goodies.

"We got food... well what could pass as food." he announces as he grabs a cheese encrusted chip then pours himself a lager.

Having enjoyed an hour and a half of friendly rivallry, chatter, banter, food and drinks, the group from York with their new friends Tony & Sarah are feeling much more relaxed. Levon noticed about halfway through the game the other brother came in, walked quickly through looking around and then left.

The competition had been won by Tony and Sarah with a score of 138, Sarah clearly the better of the two but both enjoying the game. Second were team Henri and Ian with 112. Miranda and Emma came third with 86 whilst Skye and Levon were last with 76, maybe one or both distracted - their minds on other things.

Their lane time was almost up. Karaoke calls.

{Skye}

"At least we're in sync." Skye was always a bit of an over-achiever and hated to lose, but she did manage a knowing wink to Levon. "We'll crush it in karaoke -- even if I sing. Another round!"

Henri

After the scores are tallied up he is somewhat happy enough to end up in second place. Henri congratulates Tony and Sarah, and then turns to Miranda with a sad yet smug smile. "Looks like I didn't win our bet Miranda, since me and Ian only beat you two by 26 points."

While Henri boasted earlier of winning the bowling game by fifty points or more, what exactly the wager was never discussed.

"That was fun though!"

Miranda laughs.

"We tried hard.. but it was fun."

She grins and moves to him, giving him a kiss.

"There's your reward."

Sarah thanks Henri.

"I think the odds were stacked in our favour as we bowl in a team and have our own kit. But everyone did well!"

Ian

"I think it was the matching shirts. Style does wonders."

Levon

"Well, we didn't do much bowling in Harlem but it was good fun. Yeah, another round!" he said, acknowledging Skye. "And congrats to the winners! You're buying the next round, right?" he said looking at Henri and Sarah with a wry grin.

Emma

She smiles at Miranda. "I think we need some practice... then challenge everyone to a rematch at some point."

[OOC Happy that you describe the next round of bowling. Use the dice roller or just use narrative to relate what happens.]

[ooc: was suggesting a next round of drinks LOL]

[OOC Then does someone want to volunteer? ]

Henri

He enjoys Miranda's kiss, and adds, "Might as well have another round of drinks. I'm not singing sober."

{Skye}

"I'll buy this round. Your'e gonna say I owe you anyways after my songs." Skye stood up. "Will need an extra pair of hands to carry over. Volunteer?"

Henri

"Sure, I can help."

Henri will follow Skye and will also personally thank her for buying the drinks once they are heading back to their lane.

Ian

After they leave Ian mutters conspiratorially to Emma, "Dare I tell them the Karaoke Bar sells alcohol and likely has a better selection?"

Levon

He saw Henri stand and offer to help Skye just as he began to stand, but seeing his french ami offer, he winked at Skye and sat back down. They didn't need to be glued to the hip.

[Skye]

It was probably just as well that Levon didn't join her, they would have just ended up making out somewhere. She winked back at him. Besides, Skye thought, it had been a while since she'd chatted with Henri.

"So..." She started with a little tease. "You and Miranda hitting it off quite nicely these days."

Henri

Skye's tease makes him smile. "Oui! I like Miranda a lot."

Henri has not had much luck in keeping long term relationships with women, but he is thinking this could be different with Miranda. Feeling quite happy with the fun they are all having so far, Henri confides to Skye with a upbeat tone, "Hope she feels the same!"

Grabbing a few drinks to help carry back, he teases Skye back with his own question. "So. Something going with you and Levon? Your both acting different together."

Emma

"You should dare, you should definitely dare... though I think I will keep my wits about me tonight. I am not going to sing any country music." That was her vow, and it was a solemn one.

{Skye}

She couldn't help but curl a little smile and blush. It's not that she was completely in love with Levon -- or so she wasn't sure what to call it yet other than fun and lust. So that's where she started.

"I had a bit of a crush the moment we met, but wasn't sure where to go with it." Skye sighed and winked. "So we went with it. I've been a bit mercurial in my relationships. Maybe starting out as friends will end up being something better.

"Oh - and it's very apparent Miranda likes you a lot too. Good catch!"

They made it back and started handing out various pints and glasses. Skye tried to remember what everyone seemed to like.

Ian

Ian laughs at Emma's vow to not do country. "No. No country. But what about Christmas Music? I mean we are trying to have fun with this right?"

Levon
When he sees Skye and Henri return with the drinks, Levon announces, "I just heard that Emma's gonna sing country tonight." It was said in obvious jest as he grabs his drink.
