Room 308, Thursday Evening

[raspberryturk]

Okay. So, the plan tonight was supposed to be pajamas and movies, or whatever. But Reno didn't have pajamas. So he was going to settle for one of his rude t-shirts. But he had no idea where they went. Probably the same place as his jacket, two pairs of his pants, all of his white dress-shirts, and every single sock that didn't have holes in it.

So Reno was knocking at Rikku's door tonight in one of his blue dress-shirts. The one with the pinstripes that he'd bought from Romeo at Pixie Dust back when there had actually been a Pixie. Socks, he didn't need. Socks were stupid, anyhow.

He came bearing potato chips! Knock knock!

[For the girl who lives here!]

"Does that mean you don't get good odds for him?" Rikku asked. "Since everyone knows he's gonna win?"

She shivered, at the nipping. Nipping was good.

"When do you wanna go? If you do. I mean. We don't have to."

It cost a lot of money, and Reno generally didn't like going back to Gaia, and all that.

"Eh, I don't mind the saucer. It's full of lowlifes an' shitheads anyhow, I fit right in." That was said in a pretty easygoing tone, really. "You think you can handle the kinda criminal underground that's got a fat chocobo and a giant mog setup goin' on at the entry gate?"

[the_merriest]

"Oh my gosh," she giggled. "No way. Seriously? The dark seedy criminal underbelly of fat chochos and moogle mascots? I am so there. You think I can lift anyone's wallet? Might make up that entrance fee pretty fast."

Because, clearly, the smart thing to do in a criminal underground was to steal from people.

"Hey, if you can do it and not get busted, it's all yours," Reno replied with a smirk. "With the kinda gil these guys pay to get in, they better be loaded, zoto."

Clearly, going to Gaia to steal and gamble and beat the shit out of things was the best idea for a date ever.

"I never get busted," Rikku said loftily. "But I don't want to steal from people who aren't the criminal underbelly whatever types, so I hope you can pick 'em out, zoto."

Theft wasn't fun if you weren't stealing from bad guys.

This date was gonna be awesome.

[raspberryturk]

"You kiddin'? I'd be able to pick out the criminal underbelly of Gaia blindfolded."

This was mostly because Reno had either worked alongside most of them, or had to shake them down for money at one point or another.

"Leave that part to me, zoto."

"We could make a game of it," Rikku bounced. "I mean. You're getting better at the whole pickpocketing thing. We could set handicaps, make bets, all of it. 'I can get that guy, over there, the one with the bodyguards ... even without bumping into him. And if I do, you owe me a drink.'"
