Ace was a man of principals, those being work is work and fun is fun. At least when it came down to being lazy, escorting Olivia to a place called The Cade allowing him and Olivia to bond over some games. While playing he noticed Olivia looking around a lot more than playing, her eyes trailing between the majority of monsters which left her confused.

“What’s racking your brain Liv?” Ace asked as he looked over at the girl.

“Huh? Uh well a lot of things, you think you got the answers to them?” She asked.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rSTNQw6CE
“I know a thing or two so shoot.”255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBeh8c5cVN

“Okay so my first question is, why is everyone so calm about humans being down here? I heard Monsters executed many humans before an-”255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNJsEFRkmH

“That’s a simple one, knowledge is often fractured when passed down by so many different individuals. As you can see we don’t do much but live life in this little dimension. Chilling and NOT human killin, plus Meraki was given aid in his fame from a human who’s actually still down here. So yeah we had a few bad experiences with humans but we have good ones too, so we don’t judge. Especially our diamond guard leader Saisiki, who’s basically human numero uno down here, she’s a good girl so ya know ain’t much to worry about with her round.” Ace answers Olivia’s first question.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICtfUAl6Bp

“Makes sense I guess, next question. The Florist and Saisiki, what's up with those two?” Olivia asks.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RDePhQpEb
“The Florist is Saisiki’s dad even if she doesn’t call him that often.”255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvwIkGFOqK
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTv1IdSp6I
“Wait seriously? Why?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrvodc6f6o
“Business, after all not every monster is going to agree with how the Diamond Guard run things so they’ll obviously want some problems, she cares for em but won’t show it outside of being in private.'' Ace smiles as he leans over.

“Between you and me-”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXSq9r6eDD
“Between us three Ace can’t keep his mouth shut.” Olivia heard a voice to her right.

“Guwah Saisiki! I mean uh er Boss Lady you’re back!” Ace jumps back shocked by her sudden appearance and he laughs nervously.
“Yeah I just got back from checkin in with Krista and the Gateway, everything seems fine for now. I saw that you and Clover split up and I just HAD to come check on you.” Saisiki looked down at the teen and her friend, Olivia, looked up and saw Saisiki was pretty tall, similar to The Florist.

“Saw you two were doing a Q and A so I got curious.” Saisiki added on as Ace chuckled.

“Just playin a couple games with the Human, lettin’ her chill and v-vibe down here at the cade ya know?” Ace told Saisiki, who shrugged and immediately gravitated towards a specific game. Olivia walked over with her, she saw Saisiki sit down on one of the seats and grab a handful of darts. Counting them she’d get ready to pay her fee before looking over at Olivia and then rolling her eyes.

“You’ll throw off my focus so here.” Saisiki took some coins out of her pockets and paid for multiplayer, suddenly a compartment opened up showing a bracelet.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsB1KutvEL
“Put that on.” Saisiki told Olivia, who nodded and put it on, the bracelet adjusted to her wrist size and latched on as a crosshair appeared out of the top of it.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5RjaWFfUk
“Alright now make a fist whenever you see a target and it’ll fire just try to line it up with the crosshairs, no auto aim otherwise I gotta pay extra.”

“No it’s fine.” Olivia would say while examining her blaster, looking at the bottom she saw a feature that said Overdrive. Saiski would take off her glasses and place them in her breast pocket, soon the game would begin and targets would start moving by. The targets would be black shadows and sometimes Monsters would pop up and humans too, Saiski tossed her darts quickly hitting the shadow creatures and missing the monsters and humans alike. Olivia would fire at the shadow creatures and see her points rise up by fifty, she then shot a human and saw her points drop by four hundred.

“Got some rage going on there kid?”255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QwzbxJw7Y
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY8RXkR0hV
“No just checking out the rules and the scaling so I can better fire and assess the situation.'' After she said that Olivia and Saisiki would challenge each other with Olivia dodging around and leaning side to side to get the best out of her blaster while Saisiki would hit multiple shots with her darts, people would crowd to watch what was going on and some kids would even cheer on Olivia while some staff cheered on Saisiki. The game would end and Saisiki would be one hundred points above Olivia who sighed and rubbed her head.

“It ain’t over yet.” The game would suddenly shout RIOT RUN and immediately the shadows would rush forward at Saisiki and Olivia, Olivia would immediately lunge her arm down and flick her blaster into overdrive and kept angling it for headshots quickly surpassing until a human ran in the way and she shot it, Saiski barely missed it. The game went on and some more hits and misses were made until in the end Saisiki had the same score as Olivia which she didn’t seem mad about nor disappointed, she just looked at Olivia and put her glasses back on.

“Good Game, had fun?” She asked, her expression as unreadable as it often seemed, Olivia put the bracelet back and nodded, looking up at Saisiki.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31d0asUDKT
“Yeah that game was pretty fun actually, where’s Ace?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAiIHBNSdp
“Probably gambling like he often does, guy’s probably trying to win the pot for his section. That a problem?” Saiski asked Olivia who seemed to go stationary for a moment and seemed angered.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Fer7jE7X
“Does he sell Clover’s things to get money to gamble?” She asked angrily.
“That one of the bad habits that gets worse, one of the ones Clover spoke about.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAaGpYTzPN
“Are you addicted to trauma or somethin 'kid? No not at all, if anything he just does work whenever he needs the money. Ace is a lazy dumbass but he has a good heart, he wouldn’t sell even the smallest speck of fabric from his brother’s scarf even if it made him a millionaire. Ace just works for his pay and then comes by once in a while to try and get some money for his people further on.” Saisiki clears up Ace’s gambling but she still seems a bit annoyed.

“Bad parents?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU15vg7lYPE
“.....”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0utPPKsiZX
“Figures.” Saisiki walks off with Olivia hurrying after her, they find Ace playing a race car game and making sound effects while playing. Olivia looks at the skeleton and smiles before she focuses on his game. She is glad he isn’t like her parents. He already came off as a laid back guy but now he seems like a much nicer guy.

“Darn it, I can’t make this turn! Going too fast!” Ace shouted as Olivia grabbed the stick and decreased his speed before he reached that turn, letting him make the turn easily.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd7xPlxSnZ
“Whoa! Whoever did that, thanks!”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM1o0vRuoM
“Olivia did bonemeal.” Saisiki informed Ace who quickly thanked Olivia. Ace kept driving as he swerved left and right evading as many obstacles as possible before hitting the finish line. Ace jumps up laughing as he finishes the race beating the high score, he hugs Olivia and looks over at Saisiki who gives him a thumbs up.

"Ha Ha Ha Ha! After months of trying I finally beat Clover and got first!" Ace triumphantly shouts out as the three look at each other and suddenly Saisiki rubs her head.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8LrKtwWRd
“Now let’s hurry to the grand inferno, I’m starving.” Saisiki says as they exit the cade.
