A meal is better enjoyed among friends! And to become close, you gotta learn about each other, and the best way is to ask questions point blank in a chummy way! Besides, you’re too comfy...

“Why don’t you relax with us, Kushi? I know you deserve it.” You say with a faint smile of coziness. “She was sick early in the day, everyone. She must be tired still.”

“I can attest to it! We all admire your dedication, Ms. Chef, but why not decompress?” Crossbill walks down the stairs. “You want my or Zyra’s lap?” The bird slaps her tights.

“We’ll have to use the floor. I’m prepared.” Zyra is planning ahead with the carpet and some of the pillows around.

“I’m fine as is.” Kushi remains in the comfy cube. Her loss.

“I kinda want to learn more about everyone, including you. I didn’t mean to annoy you.” You apologize.

“Ha! I’m having a moment of solidarity with Lady Clumsy. You can’t annoy me, Chef.” Kushi will laugh again if she has to.

“That’s how it always starts…” Vera remembers when… huh… hmm… You don’t think she remembers a time when she wasn’t annoyed with you.

“T-The name is Vortexia, anyhow! I’m repeating it so everyone is aware! And note that I’ll be a star sooner than later.” Lady Clumsy corrects.

“Shave my timbers! I think I’ve heard of you before! Ah, it must’ve been my lil’ sister!” Sally has now realized. “My name is Sally! Don’t forget it either!”

“We need to work on your pirate-speak.” Zyra shakes her head. “I’m Zyra, by the way. And this is Beth. It’s a pleasure, Kushi and Vortexia. Noon, Vera, and their allies helped us in a major way. Our debt won’t be easily paid.”

“Oh no…” Vortexia is puzzling together this is the prison stuff… Crossbill can’t contain her laughter.

“My, my. As true as it is, let’s not get that serious.” Beth smiles softly.

“Yeah, our star boy wants to learn more about you. Don’t let the chance slip.” Crossbill teases.

“He should go ahead and ask… We’re here to serve.” Beth giggles.

“We’ll throw the baton here and there.” Crossbill wants everyone to ask stuff too.

“Yeah, I got questions…” Vera sounds sleepy.

You get to start this round of questions…

What do you wanna ask?

>Ask Sally why she is a pirate.
>Ask Zyra why she went to jail.
>Ask Beth why she went to jail.
>Ask Kushi what her favorite meal is.
>Ask Vortexia about the little hints she threw during the race. She seems to know some of the competitors.
>Write In. (Highly-Recommended).
