[ looms ominously as he eats shit, but turns with a friendly smile to the girls in the elevator. curtsy. ]

Please enjoy your stay, everyone. Good luck at the casino, if you decide to play some rounds, and look forward to the shows being put on today.

[ steps out of the elevator to grab the guy's other arm, helping to haul him upright. ]

[holyspirits]

[ The girls are so used to chaos like this that they just laugh and snap some photos with their phones so they can blog about it later. (One curtsies back. Her friends make fun of her.) ]

Okay! Okay, okay, okay. What. What do you want. Whatever.

[ Helpful. He does not even try to struggle. He knows in his heart that he would roll the 2 I rolled and decides it would be less embarrassing to just go limp.

You have your Idol! Now what? ]

[outdistanced]

[ yeah now what

do we go find another broom closet to throw this guy into laurence didn't think that far ]

[dijun]

We were tasked with bringing you back to Seminar. Would you care to make a case for why we shouldn't do that?

[ he'll like. nudge Idol forward and nod to laurence. let's go find somewhere to stick him, yeah. a broom closet might be nice.

he will bring his phone out to voice to text the other two: ] Target acquired. We'll let you know more once we get somewhere private.

[holyspirits]

[ He opens and closes his mouth several times like he's trying to think of an excuse for why he should be allowed to steal all of the school's money. But damb... just can't find the words...

... But... ]

Was gonna do a live show. At the theater.

[outdistanced]

And why should we let you when you've been such a pain in the ass?

[dijun]

Yes, do enlighten us.

[ frog marches him along so that they can talk and walk. ]

[holyspirits]

It was the whole point of coming here! All the karaoke practice... All the running away... They want me to stay because I've got money to blow. If I throw a fit security will be all over you in a second. But if you let me do my show first, I'll sneak out of here with you.

[outdistanced]

The whole reason we're here is because you don't have money to blow. So why should we even believe you when you just tried to run from us?

[dijun]

Considering it's Seminar's funds that you've acquired...

Is there collateral that you can give us, to ensure that the contract is binding? Trust me when I say that I do not take broken promises lightly.

[ Promise, but also Threat. ]

[holyspirits]

Uhhh. Yeah, sure.

[ He just. empties his pockets and starts handing you everything he's got. Look, he really wants to do his stage performance, okay. Genuinely.

Most of the money is digital, for hacking reasons, so his phone is the most valuable thing. But he also hands over his wallet? And his Casino card. ]

[outdistanced]

Your phone, too.

[ he doesn't know about the hacking part but thanks to memory soup he knows most people are glued to their phones so that's their best insurance here ]

[dijun]

What is so important about this performance, exactly?

[ he'll take the stuff just because his apron is huge and he can fit things in it, but he'll entrust the acquiring of the phone and keeping of it to laurence. ]

[holyspirits]

[ Phone handed over as well. ]

You need me to explain why music's important? Why people like art? Come on, make a choice.

[ I say, looking a the clock and your split party. ]

[outdistanced]

[ taking that thanks. ]

...If we let you do this, we're coming with you. You're not running, you little twerp.

[ that said. looks at zhongli like do we just go with this or ]

[dijun]

[ if this is till from the infamous ivantill ship i think he's older than laurence which makes this so funny. LITTLE TWERP. ]

I meant more if there was something else personal for you. That, I know the weight of. [ of course he does. but he nods to laurence. ] Consider us your escorts.
