Olivia, Ace and Saisiki began walking toward the Grand Inferno all together with Saisiki on her coms most of the time relaying info around to other Diamond Guard members, while Ace and Olivia talked to each other and got to know one another a bit more. He made a couple of card jokes to her and she took them in full stride. Unlike most other monsters, Saisiki looked over at them and rolled her eyes at the jokes before looking ahead and seeing The Grand Inferno. The entrance had what appeared to be a great flame around where the door was located with

“The Grand Inferno'' written above it, Saisiki began to walk over to the door as she swayed her hand and it opened for them as she walked on ahead and entered the building. Olivia and Ace followed behind her and as they stepped inside they saw a small corridor illuminated by purple lights, just then Saisiki spoke.

“Close your eyes Olivia.” Olivia did as she was told and Ace put on a face mask, suddenly the room got humid and they were spritzed with a liquid which went all along their clothing suddenly a beep was heard and the room got warm before what felt like flames engulfed their bodies however no pain was felt.

“Alright eyes open and mask off.” Saisiki spoke as she stretched and Olivia looked around as she saw the room was no different, she felt odd, well not in a bad way she just felt different.

“Congratulations kid, now you know what fresh laundry feels like.”

Saisiki spoke as she walked down the corridor toward the door at the end and opened it. Once the door was opened they were welcomed by a bright light and once they adjusted they saw the interior of The Grand Inferno which had been lined with rows of chairs similar to a movie theater. There was a stage in the middle of the room where a band of Monsters were playing instruments while the famed Meraki was on stage singing a slow song. In front of the stage and the seats was a space for dancing where a handful of monsters were participating and dancing to the song that was being sung by Meraki. There was one slight off put, everyone was in a dress, a tuxedo, or a suit of some kind.

"Uh oh..Seems we got here a bit too late. The fever has started." Ace says looking at his clothes and then Saisiki who didn't appear bothered, she waved her hand and suddenly Ace and Olivia were dressed for the occasion, Olivia wearing a dark blue dress and Ace in a classic black tuxedo.

"Done now both of you are dressed for the occasion and now I'm leaving, I have work to do."

Saisiki fixed her glasses before she stepped back out of the door, once she left a waitress came by to serve them. The Minotaur looked down at the pair as she leaned forward bowing before beginning to speak, her voice loud and pretty powerful.

She says standing up and walking Olivia and Ace toward some stairs and walking them up, they walked up a total of twenty steps before reaching the suspended platform above. Next to the stairs Olivia read a sign nearby that said "The Florist's Office, Please Knock And Wait To Be Let In." Olivia tilted her head and kept following after their waitress. They stepped past tables of monsters about four tables full of monsters, some near the wall and others near the railing which allowed them to see the show more easily.

"Meraki is amazin ain't he?"
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuVPkjf5GK
"A phenomenal voice."

"His body is state of the art." Olivia listened to praise upon praise upon praise of Meraki, while she explored the place she soon heard a familiar voice.

“Brother Ace and Lady Olivia we are over here, come come." Olivia and Ace spotted Clover sitting down near the railing along with Kira, Clover was wearing a similar suit to his brother while Kira was wearing a white phoenix dinner jacket and he seemed very focused on Meraki's show. However, he turned to look over at Ace and Olivia for a moment before turning his attention back to the show ahead of him. Olivia noticed he seemed much more grumpy than he often appeared and he was looking very very hard at the stage. He seemed to be observing the entire place down to the finest detail.

“Kira you okay?” Olivia asked him as he ignored her question and continued to look out and about but just as she got closer he gave her a thumbs up and kept watching, she sat down with Ace as a plate of food arrived at their table. Clover’s plate consisted of macaroni and cheese while Kira’s plate was some shrimp and rice, which caught his attention quickly and he got ready to dig in but was stopped by Clover.

“Manners Kira, at least keep your jacket from getting dirty, will you?” Clover looked at Kira who glared at him but put on a handkerchief to cover his suit and began eating his meal, surprisingly the speed at which he ate was pretty calm and relaxed which opposed his quick and rushful beginning. Clover passed Olivia the menu and she ordered from it along with Ace, while they ate they saw the lights dim and watched as Meraki began dancing and singing a new song to the performance which raised the audience’s spirits.

“....” Kira seemed put off by the song as he continued to eat, and soon Clover began speaking.
“So everyone, how was our day today, Olivia Ace, what did you two do today?” Clover asked in an attempt to start a conversation, Kira seemed intrigued to hear what Ace would say.

“Eh, nothing much, except I finally beat your highscore on the racing game bro!” Ace triumphantly exclaimed as Clover leaned back with a gasp.

“Behind my back brother, how could you?! I shall return this act of treason twelve fold. Enjoy victory’s sweet embrace for the moments it lasts for I shall return to its arms, while you return to the grasp of defeat.” Clover smiled as Ace returned.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrNW4vmQXr
“Oh yeah? Do your worst Clover, I’ll make sure you get to know defeat all too well.” Ace grinned at his brother as Clover laughed and then looked over at Olivia before asking.

"So Olivia what did you do?” Clover asked her next as she began to respond to what he had asked her.
“I went up against Saisiki in a game.”
“Wait, you played against Saisiki in a game? How did that go?” Ace asked, seeming surprised to hear that and soon Olivia looked over at him and began speaking.

“We tied up and then came over to get you.” Olivia told Ace who leaned back rubbing his head, as he processed that a handful of waiters came over carrying plates with one placed in front of Ace. On Ace’s plate was a dozen chicken fingers and several plates were put in front of Olivia, from chicken wings, to macaroni and cheese, to spaghetti, lasagna, steak, ribs, burgers. Kira looked at the table then at Olivia as their eyes locked, she chuckled and then he looked at Clover then Ace then the waiters..

“More.” He simply said and they all embarrassingly rubbed their heads and brought Kira as much food as they did Olivia, the pair ate or more so devoured everything they got. They had some conversations and Kira sometimes joined in on the conversation giving his thoughts while everyone got to know each other, suddenly their conversation was interrupted by a racket at the front.

“Hey! Hey, what is this pricing eh?” A large tiger snarled at a waitress, everyone would look over but no one would do anything. The smaller girl would wave her hands in a pleading manner as she began to speak, her voice shaky and small.

“I-I’m sorry but this is the price that The Florist says is rung up, I even checked in with him and others to make sure I didn’t ring anything up incorrectly.” The small creature was coated in a fluffy fur-like coat with large black eyes and antennae; her figure appeared to be that of a Moth-like being.

“How disrespectful, as a diamond guard I can not let this stand.” Clover stood up and jumped over the railing landing with finesse as he then began to walk over to the commotion.
