So most of the people here like spicy food; is that okay with Vaporeon?

She nods, trilling.

Excellent.

To food!

Food! Vaporeon apparently likes way spicier food than anyone else present. Hideously spicy. The staff seem to know her, though, and don't question her life choices about exactly how many peppers this curry really needs.

That's. Uh. Pretty impressive, actually.

Smug nom.

Heh.

She seems to be having fun, even though she can't join in the conversation properly. 

Oh good. Ellie's doing some translation anyway, for Flicker.

Everyone else Iikes her, too, though she seems to be getting on best with Stiletto and Garnet right now. 

Does she want to stick around after dinner? They can go to the park or something.

She nods.

Once there and in relative privacy, Ellie can explain about the collars and how they enabled some of what they did today.

Oooo! She definitely seems interested, sniffing at the others' collars some. 

Maybe someone wants to volunteer to let Vaporeon try?

She can borrow Garnet's collar.

Thanks, Garnet.

Ellie unclips the collar from Garnet and fastens it on Vaporeon.

She lifts up her chin, lets Ellie fasten it, then wiggles a bit, feels the collar.

"What do you think?"

Hum. And: "Kinky!"

Blink blink. "...What."

Intrepid pats Ellie's leg. "She doesn't actually mean the collar part like that, you know," she says to Vaporeon. 

"Sadly," Stiletto mumbles. 

Intrepid slaps the back of Stiletto's head with one of her tendrils.

"Um. I've lost my train of thought a bit."
