Tifa, who'd been busy ingesting a cookie and asking Dizzy if the cookies were vegan so Karen could have them (she'd realized a few seconds in that chocolate had milk which wasn't vegan and so then she'd cut herself off, frowning a little), was in the process of figuring out how to ask Karen if she could make anything in particular for her, since she couldn't have regular cookies...when Elena greeted her politely and she didn't even have the chance to respond before Dizzy jumped in--not that she was finding fault with Dizzy or anything, but now there was this strange awkward unanswered pleasantry hanging unrequited in the air, the conversation no longer ripe for a reply.

Well, surely Dizzy wouldn't mind, less so than Elena, anyway, if Tifa was somewhat non sequitur her way. "Yeah, I'm glad to finally meet you, Elena. Reno talks about you a lot," she added with a pleasant grin, glancing at Dizzy--she'd talked with the girl about Elena, and so she might have picked up on something or other. "Dizzy, you're in a band, then? That's so cool--I used to play the piano before...I stopped," she substituted suddenly, her statement suddenly becoming stupidly obvious.

"Now I just do martial arts, really. I'm pretty good too; maybe me and Karen should team up to kick that douche's ass--what's his name? Jotera? Or whatever? He's some new guy who seems really big on being a womanizing prick--Reno's half set to punch the guy, but I figured it'd be a lot more ironic justice if two girls kicked his ass."

"Dizzy, that's so awesome! I saw your post on the network and I meant to say something - congratulations."

Elena glanced over at Tifa, studying her as she took a sip of her whiskey. She could certainly see why Reno... why he liked her so much. Tifa was gorgeous; a real knockout. And added to that, she was independent and took care of herself, which from what Elena had seen was exactly Reno's type. Well, I'm not going to screw this up for him. If he likes her that much, I'm not going to get in the way.

Realizing that there might have been a little too much of a pause, and not wanting to seem like she was staring, Elena caught on to the last part of what Tifa had said. "Who's a womanizing prick? If he tries anything with me -" she paused. "Well, I might have to refer him to you. My brand of taking care of problems tends to come with more permanent violence."

Swanky...Rude liked the sound of that. He'd have to remember to use it more often.

"Sup everybody." he waved trying to see if he could recognize any faces , but placing all these people with icons on the network was...hard since the only ones he actually really conversed was Tifa, Reno and...Elena. For some reason he could feel a wave of tension in the room, he couldn't figure out why or between who but it felt pretty obvious.

As he entered he actually remembered the 'shoes off' rule this time and was a bit less clumsy in removing them this time. No reason to lose face in front of the ladies since he was already working his way up from rock bottom.

walking over to set the tub with the rest of the refreshments, he overheard the conversation shift from music to marital arts to womanizing pricks. 'Who was this Joe Barbara guy they were talking about?' He thought to himself, whoever it was he wasn't about to let his injured butterfly Tifa risk further injury by facing off against whoever that guy was.

"I'll take em." he said in a slightly rougher tone cracking his knuckles.
