"You know, the floor of the blimp wasn't that bad a place to sleep," Ringo announced. And then immediately belied her claim by grimacing as she stretched to pop her back again.

Once she was feeling a little bit loosened up again, Ringo looked around. "Too bad we don't really have time to really explore the city. I mean, this place looks like it's got as much neat stuff going on as Yorknew City did." But their wallets were pretty much empty, and Ringo really wanted a room and a bed to sleep in tonight.

Ringo's eyes swept the city skyline, then went wide. "Whoa! Is that Heaven's Arena?" The building was huge.

"Do you think that, after we've made enough for a hotel, we can AirTrek on it?" Hopefully that wouldn't be against the rules.

"Worth a try." Ringo was looking thoughtful as her gaze turned back toward the main floor.

"Do you want to watch a few rounds before you sign up yourself? I mean, I can probably take care of our room and stuff for now if you want to take some time to practice for this."

Now that she was here, this place seemed a lot more serious than she'd imagined.

Which, given the size of the arena, what else exactly had she been planning?

Somehow, Alluka hadn't expected all of... this... either.

"Um, um maybe that would be better?" she said, thinking of her conversation with Dante. "At least, if you don't mind?"

"I don't mind." Ringo smiled gently.

She quickly added, "And it's really not that I don't think you can do it. You totally can. But I think you might want to do some practice first? I mean, it's just like AirTrek: you don't try to do the hardest tricks on your first day, right?"

"Or you fall flat on your face!"

Or hit a wall or go down a set of stairs badly...

Alluka giggled. "I'll watch at first, and I won't feel bad about it, not until I can figure out how other people are fighting."

Ringo giggled. "Well, you fall flat on your face sometimes no matter what. Or I do, anyway."

She shook her head. "The trick is to make sure that you don't do it too hard, or too often. So, you know, while you want to push yourself, you don't want to be too crazy."

"So we'll ease you into it. And we don't have to risk you taking any hits in the ring until you've had a time to practice with me." And take some, hopefully lighter, hits that way.

Alluka bobbed her head, feeling a little relieved.

"And, and maybe then it won't seem so scary--it's big but I didn't realize that people would be watching."

They were going to be entertainment?

"Yeah." Ringo blinked. "I guess I didn't really expect that either?"

She grinned very slightly. "But I've had a lot more practice being, you know, on stage. Though," she flushed, "I don't really know that I'm very good at it."

[ooc: Sorry for the delay, it's been... a week. And a weekend. And the start of another week.]
