Nikky nodded and slinked along the wall before crouching next to Reno. She stayed low as she also tried to see what Rude was doing. What is he holding?

Reno squinted. The paper-ish thing he was holding wasn't crumpled up like a tissue... no, it was definitely a bit of paper, the kind one writes on. Yellow, like from a Steno pad. The lights weren't on in there so it was hard enough to even make out its shape, much less if anything was written on it. But he could tell it looked a little bit ragged around the edges, like it had been folded up and unfolded a couple dozen times. Weird. What's on that paper that could be so important? He didn't want to risk trying to read Rude's mind for it... he knew his partner would feel him poking around. "I'll have to get it off him later," he finally decided.
He watched for a few more minutes. Nothing changed... Rude just sat there, staring at the tube, almost expressionless. From this angle, Reno couldn't even tell what he was watching. "Riiiight... well, this has kinda been an exercise in the pointless," Reno sighed. So now what do you wanna do?"

Nikky frowned. "Hm... well this sucks." She looked to Reno before shrugging. "Donno... what is there to do around here??" She didn't know many places especially not in this area.

Reno inched his way out of the shrubs. "Well, I'm sure you remember the Pier Club, but I think it'd be fun to try something new. The beach ain't too far, but I didn't exactly come here equipped to try getting a tan." He grinned back at Nikky. "Got any ideas? Anything n general you wanna do? They got just about anything here-- biggest entertainment center short of Golden Saucer."

Nikky giggled. "Well... we could just walk around? Like meet people and wander places, waste time." She moved back and followed him a bit. "We could go anywhere... I don't care." She smiled. Anything but sitting around doing nothing, sounded good.

"Sounds fun, babe," Reno grinned, putting an arm around her shoulders and heading through the parking lot. "So let's walk. Pick a direction."

Nikky rolled her eyes and closed her eyes, moving away to spin around a bit. She pointed randomly, opening her eyes. "This way..." She looked back and grinned wide before heading to the right.

Reno nodded and off they went, strolling down the sidewalk. In spite of the time of year, the skies were clear and the air was warm. They went a very short distance... say, about twenty feet, actually, when Reno realized they were standing in the parking lot of a cantina with loud salsa music filtering through the doors. "Well, that was fast... funny, that wasn't here last time I stayed at the Inn, but it has been a few years. Ah, well." He lifted an eyebrow at Nikky. "Looks like a hot spot... want to try it out?"

Nikky looked at the place before looking to him. She grinned and nodded. "What else we got to do??" She looked back, it looked like a lot of fun. Why not, ya know?

Reno grinned and headed inside with her. The atmosphere was a great deal less classy in here than it had been at the Pier Club-- there was smoke everywhere, the music was mostly being played from speakers mounted on the walls, piping it in from a boom box, someone was setting up a makeshift stage for a local rock band, and there were noisy patrons all over the place at the tables set in sundry places. Sunlight feebly filtered in through the many shuttered windows. A few couples were dancing in an open space cleared out roughly in front of a defunct jukebox. An aged server shoved some menus into their hands, yanking her coat on. "Sit anywhere. I quit!" She hustled out the door, being chased by the cook.
Reno blinked and looked over at Nikky. "OK..."

Nikky looked around before frowning at the menu. She watched the woman leave before looking to Reno. "Yeah... Just a little weird." She laughed a bit before looking around. "Wonder if there's anything good around here." She surveyed the place, curious to what other music they played... or what people hung around here....

Reno shrugged and brushed the crumbs off the nearest vacant table, recently vacated by a drunk guy who was muttering about what he planned to do to another guy about some girl. He went to the bar and started chanting for free beer.
Reno pulled out a seat for Nikky without thinking and winced a bit. "Sorry, I forgot you don't like that."

Nikky laughed and sat down. "I'll let it slide this time, babe..." She teased before grinning at him. "It's not that annoying...." ^.^ She waited for him to sit as she shifted to look around better.

Reno girnned at her and took a seat. The place was noisy and unruly, but as long no one tried to steal his girl or his wallet, he could deal with that. He gave the place another cursory glance... the band was tuning up and creating aural agony as they did so. "Creative Anarchy," said the name plate on the drums. Any band with the word "anarchy" in the title you want to sit as far from as possible. Unfortunately it looks like all the tables are taken.
The drunk guy kept chanting. People were starting to throw stuff at him. Reno spotted a bread crust on the floor and pegged it at him, missing by a couple inches. Finally, servers started circulating with beer mugs, just to shut him up (though Reno noticed they were deliberately avoiding the chanter guy).
A black-haired server with a nagging cough and a rather high voice approached the table and set a couple glasses down. "Got any idea what you want yet?"
((Sorry that took so long... incidentally, I had a phone call too. Talk about coincidence.))

[[Stupid people calling us. lol My net keeps cutting out too. >.<]]
Nikky watched the drunken guy with high amusement before looking to the server. She blinked before looking to Reno. "Think we could get away with a few rounds?" She raised a brow, slowly grinning. "Rude's busy watching his show or whatever and the others are... well... I don't really know." She laughed a bit.
