Making it over there wasn't that difficult for Iori; he had a pretty good sense of direction because of his time spent wandering when he wasn't performing or participating in the King of Fighters tournaments. It was more the fact that he was trying to figure out what the hell he was doing. Sure, he had wandered off for a while, nearly got killed for it, but near-death situations weren't exactly very uncommon for him, especially in the last few years.

What he was wondering was why he was suddenly going off to do karaoke with some girl he had barely knew. There were upsides to this place, now that he thought about it- the Orochi wasn't here, but then again, neither was Kyo.

But maybe it was just the fact that he was bored. Without any clues or leads into how to deal with the cursed snake demon that plagued his veins, let alone any opportunities to get rid of his supposed "blood rival" once and for all- Iori had found himself without much to do, to be verily honest

Boredom seemed like the excuse to do anything around here. For somebody who had no friends back home, Ai had gotten around in Adstringendum just fine. Everyone was sort of a weirdo anyways, some just weirder than others.

Looking up again from her PCD again she smiled before slipping it into the back of her Jean skirt pocket and standing up. "Hey there, it's nice to finally meet you in-person." Offering him a hand, she thought in her mind how she had attempted to dress conservative today before realizing she didn't own clothing like that. For someone of Japanese heritage, she was too tan for the winter and had large eyes (which she used adhesive on her lids to make wider). She was used to being called a freak for looking like a highlighter threw-up on her after mating with a hooker or some other bizarre comment but she tried her best to ignore them. "You ready to have some fun?"

He blinked, not really knowing what to say right away. Her looks were definitely unusual, but he had honestly seen worse. Besides, he remembered getting flack for his bright red hair when he was younger.

But he quickly pushed those thoughts out of his mind; dwelling on the past wasn't worth it at this point. Or relevant, for that matter. He shook his head lightly before looking back up to Ai. "...guess so." He had no idea how this was going to turn out, but might as well do something while he was back. Better for him to be doing something like this than to wander off again.

Goodie, they could be weirdos together. The two of them together was probably a strange sight to most, he seemed to only talk when necessary while Ai never shut-up.

"I proooomise you'll have fun." Going towards the door, she only prayed it was still in good condition inside and no killer rabbits had inhabited the place. With a deep breath her hands reached for the knob and twisted it open. When the door creak opened, she peered inside and saw a few lights on and reflecting off the disco ball on the dance floor.

"Better then I expected."
