This is a social events thread based between the days of the tournament and each fight.
The giant dome it's self had training facilities, living arrangements, large eating area's and most other accommodations needed by the many races staying there. There was only one rule.
"No fighting outside of sanctioned matches."
It was plastered everywhere. Enforced as well because the few fights that did break out were handled politically. Swiftly ended by the Alliance Forces and the perpetrators brought before their ambassadorial leadership as public disgraces with no honor. Those without ambassadors were imprisoned for a few days before being put on a shuttle and escorted out of Namekian/Human controlled space.
However right now it was food time!

Limax had found a peaceful corner of the tournament grounds away from most of the rukus that the others were making. His heart was fluttering from nerves, he couldn't believe that he was actually here doing this. It still felt surreal that he had actually made it into the tournament and past all of the preliminary stuff.
Say what they wanted, but his training was actually working. He could feel it, but it was still so foreign to experience other people seeing that he was getting stronger. Or strong in the first place. Though he didn't expect he'd come out on top in this event. This was a gathering of the best warriors in the Galaxy, and he'd managed to get in somehow. But there was no way he was going to win. Honestly he just hoped he didn't embarrass himself.
Looking down at the fruit from Earth in his hand, something called a pear, he'd grin to himself. Win or lose there was the perk of having this experience, nad it was an honor to represent his people among the Galaxy. He'd take a large bite and let out a small pleased moan. It was juicy and sweet.
It was a perfect moment.

With the start of the tournament out of the way, Atlanti made her way to the food court. The voices around her rose and fell in waves as different groups hung about, and her gaze flickered from one point of interest to another as she went. What she'd been told about couldn't compare to seeing and experiencing it for herself. Her heart gave an excited flutter, and a smile lit her face at the sight of familiar foods. She picked a slice of melon for herself, afloat in a sea of strangers as she selected a place that was apart from the larger groups.
She'd come this far, but what now? A soft hum escaped her lips as she mulled over the idea. The nearby sound of bliss startled her out of her thoughts, and Atlanti blinked with wide eyes before the friendly smile returned. She remembered seeing the Namekian from earlier.
"Hello there!" she chimed, all sunshine and enthusiasm.

He was taken out of his thoughts by the cheerful greeting directed toward him. Looking up from his rare treat what he saw baffled him. It looked Namekian, but distinctly different. And not in the way that Wasabi was. It would take him a couple of seconds to realize that it was a Namekian. But one that had female characteristics.
He'd never seen one before, just heard talk of them. And so it was that while he could identify her for what she was, he couldn't stop himself from staring at her dumbfounded. He didn't even have the presence of mind to make his mouth move and vocalize sounds.
Just stare in bewilderment.

The silence that followed her greeting grew more awkward the longer it lasted. Atlanti looked down at her fruit, then back at the other Namekian, who continued to stare. She hadn't eaten, so she coudln't have anything on her face.
"Uhm? Hello?" She waved with her free hand, perplexed. She knew she wasn't exactly run of the mill, but she was more used to people being taken aback by her being green than anything else. If she had eyebrows, they would have knit together as her smile faltered.
"Is something wrong?" Maybe they wanted to be left alone?

He just now realized that he hadn't said anything. Nearly dropping his pear in his embarrassment he tore his eyes away from her and tried to cover it up by coughing into his arm. The perfect moment had just turned awkward.
"Uh, hi."
Was she one of the warriors as well? Or was she staff for the tournament? No, she was probably one of the warriors if she had food. He didn't imagine the staff would just be hanging out with the fighters eating.
"Nothing wrong. Are you okay?"
Perfect deflection.

Completely oblivious to his torment, her smile returned at his greeting. Maybe he'd just been lost in thought, then, but either way, they were talking now. Even if his question did throw her off for a moment. Why wouldn't she be okay?
"Sure! Sorry if I interrupted something." Since they both had a lapse in eating, she pressed for more talking. "My name's Atlanti. What's yours?" She started to extend a hand to him, then thought better of it and pulled it back into her lap, nodding at the warrior in respect instead. At least, she thought he was a warrior. Her certainly looked like one.

"Oh no! You didn't."
He assured her! Still taken aback by her friendly demeanor. He admittedly wasn't used to that from the Warrior Caste. And since she was here, that's clearly what she had to be. There was no other explanation for it.
When she gave him a respectful nod he hopped to his feet to give her a small respectful bow in return. He may not have had to return the nod with a bow by tradition. However, he felt he needed to show the extra respect to make amends for staring at her.
"I am called Limax."

Aisuko pad in, a vaguely annoyed and aloof expression painting her visage. Her tail swayed almost lazily behind her, but there was a tension to her form as she glanced around the space and to those that were milling about. The Ice-Jin avoided those gathered and made her way to the food, taking a selection of high-protein foodstuffs, along with things to balance it out. What she assumed were starchy items and those that were clearly veggies.
Or perhaps dishes that she sort of recognised from her time with Okara and Keerie.
She turned and veered off to a quiet corner she could peer out the windows from, propped herself up with tail curled around her feet, and slowly began to eat.
Purposefully alone and looking out, obviously not one wanting company.

Fully armored and strolling in with a wide grin would be the blue hued ice-jin Hail. Spotting his sister he'D wander over his tail wiggling with his steps as gleeful as he was.
"So... been busy have we, sister?"

...shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
She should have just been wandering around in Queen form. He may not have known it was her.
But then...
Well, maybe this would be for the best.
Aisuko's gaze slowly turned from the Namekian world outside to her brother.
"Quite. And yourself?"

Hail would scoff and rest an elbow on the table, placing his cheek against his hand to prop his head up as he got irritated.
"Tried having a little fun with the locals, but that irritant Vo Lang interrupted. Now I have to deal with him, the so called 'King' of those Monkeys and the little Tuffle leader in these peace talks. It's all rather boring. I'd rather be competing in this tournament and showing the galaxy what our family can do."

"Sounds like the idea of fun differs. I suppose if our culture wasn't what it is and some buffoon showed up to have that kind of fun we may have similar reactions."
An eyebrow raised.
"Then it's a good thing I am in the tournament. At least then we can show one of us isn't slacking."
She said nothing on Vo Lang or the Saiyan Kingling or...the truffles? Her gaze turned back outside.

"Oh, you don't have to do that." Atlanti waved a hand as Limax hopped up to bow, wondering if she should do the same. She gave a nervous laugh at the extra formality. "We're not in the ring, after all. It's nice to meet you, Limax." She hoped she could help him relax.

"Slacking? Sister, you have been in the field for far too long, you forget yourself. I have reached my third form. I am as strong now as our parents were. I have also expanded our empire by three planets since you went to scout Earth. Your time away has done you no favors it seems."
Hail would shake his head, but the tip of his tail, draped over the chair was twitching.
