"C-can I talk to someone.. I... I'm kind of cold... and hungry.. oohh..." He said from way ahead of a mile, wanting to probably hesitate looking for himself without being 'looked at'.
Choco : Well, not really. And I'm sorry, Sheila. Spice isn't really my thing. I'm more into sweet and sour.
Choco : Oh, I'm sure she can! It was nice to meet you too!<she blows you a kiss and practically runs to the fox for her juice while the deer just sighs> Sorry, she can be a handful for those not ready for her. Guess that makes me her chaperone! <she chuckles politely> At any rate, nice to meet you! <she extends her hoof politely>
Jin : Date gone wrong ?... Tell me about it.
He takes a sip of his drink as well.
Jin : Funny, coming to this whole 'party' expecting some peace and quiet. But, a garden you say ?
Rex's mention of them got the big guy's curiosity and attention.
Jin : ... I think, after this drink, I can go there to see what it's like. Oh and what else does this place have to offer, might I ask ? I was only told to avoid hallway number... something, I forgot, because I wouldn't be able to fit in, heh. But still, I'm interested in other around here.
"It's admittedly not that hard to make them in ways that don't require meat. We just didn't used to get as many requests. And honestly... if it's easier to sustain it using vegetable-based protein, go that route. Lot of places apparently can't pull that off properly."
The protogen hesitated.
"As for how it's topped... topping with various vegetables is common, though... usually the requests I get involve putting cheese and bacon on it. Now I know there's a trick you can use with something called 'tempeh' and rice paper to make vegan bacon.... the only vegan cheese variant I've ever seen involved sweet potatoes and cashews.... I'll admit I've never attempted either simply because we just never get requests for either."
*I needed a place to sit and It needed to be a comfortable place to sit*
*I accidentally hit said leg and cried out* “Ow”<the fox looks up and examining a display comments casually> Well the metamorphic chair in the main dance hall's currently in use, but there's another near the back of the dining hall that's currently unconfigured. Or you can go traditional and tables in the back. Just...watch your leg, that looks like it hurts. <wince>
"C-can I talk to someone.. I... I'm kind of cold... and hungry.. oohh..." He said from way ahead of a mile, wanting to probably hesitate looking for himself without being 'looked at'.
Choco : Oh, I'm sure she can! It was nice to meet you too!
He waved goodbye to them before turning back to the food table, a thought going through his mind.
Choco : *quietly to himself* Wonder what that skunk will think when I tell her I already have a girlfriend? Oh well. Time for snaking.
"Hah... right. I... might not drink a lemonade. Don't really consider it a favorite BUT...." *As he paused at the moment... he probably wanted to nap but not with an empty stomach.**<as you look around shivering, you see a random larger taur chilling on a special black custom chair talking to a lizard, as out the side of your vision a well-dressed bunny catches you looking around and waves in a friendly manner. He quickly approaches you carrying a tray and smiles professionally>
Greetings! You must be one of Mambi's newest guests, welcome! I thought I heard you say you were hungry; there's loads of food through the double-doors right over there.
<as you peer through the windows of the doors in question, you see a stack of plates and a huge spread of food on a massive circular table in the center of the room. Off to one side you see what looks like a juice bar operated by a fox, while a large chocolate fountain pours different shades of brown like an odd rainbow as a flat waterfall from a spout to a bowl, several guests passing strawberries on a fork through it. You see a few guests reaching into a plate to grab cheese actively on fire but touching and eating it without any apparent harm somehow. Off to one side, several uniformed rabbits are carrying trays from a double-door to one side and carefully entering a section encased by a purple energy barrier to replenish the nuts and jars of peanut butter. You take a moment to enjoy the incredible aromas are emerging from the room in general as the bunny politely taps you on the arm>
If you're lost at any moment, press a red button on any console to summon the building's AI for guidance. Meanwhile, may I offer you a lemonade?

The elephant raises his eyebrows, then looks at himself in a way like he wants the lizard to take a good long look at his gigantic body as well, then chuckles.<the lizard just groans and grins as he looks up> I'm not sure "date" is the word I'd use, more like "kidnapped acquaintance.". She sort of took over my time in the garden, dragged me around all over while her attention wandered by the second, tried to force me into a dance competition, and she's kind of loud and obnoxious. After an hour of her, that's all I could take and I slipped away from her. If you see her, run fast!! <he chuckles softly as he rolls his eyes>
<he nods> Oh yes, total climate and weather controls, it's down the hall through the double-doors in the middle, just look for the sign that looks like a tree. Can't miss it.
He listens to the lizard's reply, but halfway through he frowns a bit. He still waits for the lizard to finish talking first.<the lizard giggles to himself, trying to hide it out of politeness> Oh I know the route well, and you should be able to fit no problem. The corridor's large and the room is...well actually being holographic I have no idea how large it really is, but it appears to go on forever so...<he shrugs playfully> As for other places, this place of Mambi's got everything! Aside from the dance floor and kitchen/dining room you see, we got a full observatory on the roof tied to Aurora's historical library and virtual reality interfaces with observational dimensional por...

Jin : Right, I'll be sure to run like the fastest wind ever, whenever I see her or she gets to me, whichever comes first.
He listens to the lizard's reply, but halfway through he frowns a bit. He still waits for the lizard to finish talking first.
Jin : ... Right, uh, sorry, I didn't quite catch what you said, sorry. Could you slow down by 50 percent please ? Thanks.
Seems like that '50 percent' was intentional.
Choco : Well, I'm not gonna question how that works. Seen stranger things in my time, after all. Just one couldn't hurt, everyone seems to like it after all.MMmm, cold flambe havarti, highly recommended friend! Chef's specialty.
<he takes several more before moving to a nearby table to sit. He motions to the other chair invitingly as he casually snacks on more flaming cheese cubes with crackers>
The elephant makes sure to (try to) memorize what he got (even though he has a feeling he's gonna need someone to run all this over again).<the lizard sheepishly smiles and holds his head> So sorry, I'm used to dealing with that hyper little...no matter. Let me try again slower for you, my apologies.
Looking around you can see the dance floor and kitchen/dining room area. Here you can dance, sit, or grab a juice or snack. Mostly vegetarian.
<he points to a spiral staircase at the end of the hall> Upstairs is a full observatory for stargazing. There's also a...er, "cool hole to another universe" you can check out. Also the computer can look up anything from multiple cultures across the cosmos. Ummm, so far so good, friend?
<seeing no issues yet, he points to another hall, this one ending with a picture of a water wave> Over there is a floating pool and sauna with steam room, for swimming and soaking plus full showers to clean up. Very nice place to relax if you like water.
<he makes a twirling motion with his arm> Beside it is the gym, where to make it simple, the weights can be set to any mass you can imagine.
<he points behind him to the large doors at the side wall> ...and out there is a beach. I think that one explains itself! <he chuckles to himself>
There's also some private rooms, OH, almost forgot, we got medical units as well if anyone gets hurt...state of the art in Andromedian technology! Also, if you get lost, any console can summon Aurora, the computer that runs...no, my error, IS, this place! Was that better? I'm still recovering from that freaky woman, so I'm sorry for babbling...<he sheepishly blushes as he takes a sip from his juice>
"Recipes, huh? I'll have to have a talk with Neville about suppliers, but sure, I'm game to try learning some new recipes for that amusement center's concessions stand."<the bunny nods, overhearing> Well being Mambi's a vegetarian, it's pretty much all we make here, <ahem>, thankfully. We can give you lots of recipes if you'd like?
<as he loads up his tray, the bunny remarks casually to you both> Different market I suppose, you have some sort of amusement park as I recall. TOTally different crowd!
The elephant makes sure to (try to) memorize what he got (even though he has a feeling he's gonna need someone to run all this over again).
Jin : OK... dance floor here, vegetarian. Upstairs, observatory. Over there, swimming. Next to swimming, gym. Behind you, beach.
He tries to repeat after the lizard with as minimal info as he can, like he's trying to learn a new language at an elementary level.
Jin : It's OK, sorry for being so slow too. I'm not the best at catching info and certainly not at remembering things, heh. Thanks for having the patience to put up with me.
He takes another sip of his own cocoa too.
Jin : So, what brings you to this party ? And how did you get with a hyperactive skunk with horsepower equal to a racing car ? Heh.
Choco : Well, I'm not gonna question how that works. Seen stranger things in my time, after all. Just one couldn't hurt, everyone seems to like it after all.
Picking up the flaming cheese, which didn't burn his paws, not that he expected it to after he saw others pick it up with ease. His only hope was it didn't have a spicy taste to it, which he expected slightly from the cold flames. So, without waiting any longer, the chocolate brown wolf bit into the cheese, eager to know it's flavour.
"Recipes, huh? I'll have to have a talk with Neville about suppliers, but sure, I'm game to try learning some new recipes for that amusement center's concessions stand."
The elephant noticeably leans closer and keeps his ears close to the lizard, his trunk raised a bit at the tip, clearly a sign of him (trying to) paying full attention and focus to the lizard's response, at least the first few parts. He hears "conference" so he knows more big words are coming. And he's right...Oh, in a week or so Mambi will be transporting me to a genetics conference in the esteemed "Venusian Multicultural Medical collage and Yoga retreat" where I'm presenting a paper on my speciality, "regenerative cross-species restoration". He simply let me stay here to rest up and practice while waiting.
Jin : ... Oh.What he sadly neglected to mention was the fact he also had a full time resort rave occurring with dozens of guests at any moment so "rest" was a relative term! She ran into me while I was trying to relax in a pool and it was a whirlwind of chaos from there! <he chuckles as he lifts his juice>

Jin : "Cross-species restoration" ? Sounds pretty interesting. Care to run by me with what you got, if you want ?... Eh, if you do, please try to keep it simple, or I might not be able to get anything, heh.
Jin : Yeah, not the best place to relax before your big conference presentation. But, if that's the case, why're you here ? Shouldn't you be at the swimming pool or the beach or somewhere else more quiet than... a dance floor ? Heh.
