a casual bet amongst friends

River boat: *crawls out of lake guerra* ugh. those damned foxes....i'll get them back for this. but let's be more subtle. friends make bets all the time *activates his disguise matrix and heads into town*

*Vibes is with Sal, Lilith and Van in the cafe, eating chilli*

Vibes:...And that was how I managed to use another of my awesome plans to save the day.

Lilith: you've said that one already

River boat: *smirks as he sees them and gets a nearby seat*

Lilith: hmph. you know i bet you can't go an hour without going on about how awesome you are

Vibes: i bet i could.

Lilith: wanna make this a real bet?

Vibes: loser eats the spiciest chili on the menu

*Lilith beams*

Lilith: Oh you are going to be burning that overactive mouth of yours.

Vibes: hope Van likes ghost pepper lips

*Lilith beams*

Lilith: Well, I can safely say these lips had the best kiss with him.

*Vibes is about to reply but then stops*

Lilith: I mean...what could a doofus like you know about that?

Lilith: you'll crack soon McAllistair

*Vibes scowls*

Vibes: I know what you're trying to do.

Lilith: Oh, is that because you're psychic? Because it seems to me you miss a lot.

Lilith: come on Vibes. you're burning to gloat

*Vibes is now redfaced, almost finding it impossible to resist*

Vibes: Aren't you going to intervene?

Van: No.

Sal: Must admit I'm enjoying you not talking.

Vibes: you 2 are so gonna regret this later

Van: bet we won't

*Vibes is now clearly struggling*

Lilith: Give it up...VERONICA.

Vibes: c-counter bet....bet you can't go a whole day saying nothing but good things about me

*Lilith laughs*

Lilith: I...I can do that.

Van: i don't know lil.

Lilith: i totally can! in fact....if i lose i-i'll.....i'll tell vibes my trigger phrase for my hypnotized state

*Sal gulps*

Sal: OK, not sure I like where this is going.

Vibes: Oh this is so on!

Lilith: but if i win....you gotta admit you're the worst

*Vibes groans*

Vibes: Fine.

Van: that doesn't seem-

*the 2 grit their teeth*

Lilith: it's fine...vibes deserves the best *eye twitch*

Vibes: oh your just exaggerating.

Van: we should get some help.

Sally: yeah....let's get rote.

Van: rote? anty is the best choice for this one.

Sally: uh did you hit your head?

Van: you must have if you think rote can help at all here. 

Sally: you should listen to those smarter than you

Van: oh please. i bet i'm way smarter than you are.

Sally: oh really?

*Van grins*

Van: Do we really need to go there?

*Sal scowls*

Sal: Consider your next words very carefully Van.

Van: fine. we let our friends come up with a test. first to win it is the smartest. loser has to do chores for a month

*Sal smiles*

Sal: You're on.

Lilith: vibes stop making that stupid face!

*Vibes pretends to look hurt*

Vibes: You know...that didn't sound very...nice.

Lilith: that...that wasn't to you that was-

Vibes: ah ah ah. you lost to awesome me....

Lilith: ...i'm sorry. what was that adjective?

Vibes: .....dang it.
