CEEEEEELEBRATE GOOD TIMES~

Several buildings in the City had been completely destroyed during Aang's rampage, but a few had survived relatively unscathed. It had only taken Kang two days to repair the Drunken Dragon; he'd done so by himself, not even waiting for his leg to heal up a bit first.

Usually, he didn't bother lighting any candles or using the fireplace in the tavern unless it was a period when the artificial sun had set. He could see perfectly fine in the dim light. For the celebration, though, he'd thrown the windows open wide, scrounged up every candle he could find, and started up a fire, knowing that human vision wasn't as good as his own. The tables surrounding the stage had been cleaned, as well as the tankards, and the door was propped open. The bozak had even wrestled two of the 60-gallon barrels from the back room into a corner of the main room for easier access, one of cactus juice and one of ale. If more was needed, he was sure he could get someone to help bring out another.

Tess had commandeered the kitchen to make her food, bringing in her own equipment. Kang had been slightly afraid at first that she was going to burn the place down, but nothing had happened yet. She seemed to know what she was doing, even if she'd given him a few scares.

The sunlight glistened on the old sword blade teeth and dinnerplate eyes of the comical-looking wooden dragon grinning above the entrance. Come in, relax, have a drink and a bite to eat!

[OOC note: Both drinks are alcoholic, and the cactus juice has twice the kick of the ale. :D;]

Marco left Ax to his own devices - he knew he could rely on Ac to back him up, whatever happened.

He liked Claudia, yes. She was cute and funny and smart and arguing about how had met the coolest people on the ship with her was fun. But Marco has spent three years of his life fighting the Yeerk War. And he had never really managed to unlearn the mentality that anyone could be an enemy. He probably never would.

So right now? He was definitely regarding Claudia as a possible enemy to him, Ax and Tobias. Maybe even Elfnagor and Loren too, although the other Animorphs were definitely Marco's priority. If she knew information about him that he hadn't revealed then she had a source that was out of Marco's control, and that she potential had information about him and the other Animorphs that could be used against them.

But she was supposed to be a friend. Maybe not someone he could trust yet, but at least someone who wouldn't stab him in the back anytime soon. To say that Marco was not happy about this would be a massive understatement. And he definitely wanted an explanation.

"If you weren't spying, then how the hell do you know about us?" he said cooly. "We don't go around telling people we're Animorphs."

And Claudia had spent most of her time growing up on her own and had learned long ago how to take care of herself - and one of those skills attached to that was knowing when you were about to get some sort of beat down. Now normally she would never have worried about whether or not Marco was about to kick her ass... But normally she hadn't just blurted out something about him being an Animorph either...

She took a step back just incase... A little more room between them certainly would not hurt in the slightest.

"Uh..." she frowned, her nose scrunching up a bit. This was so not cool. Not cool at all. She was about to tell someone they were characters in a book? Claudia would normally never tell someone something like this about them, but the dude standing infront of her was able to turn into a great number of animals - many who could make her into a snack - and well, a girl had to do what a girl had to do.

"Dude, you know how there are people here who are like from TV shows and video games and stuff? Yeeeah. You and your friends? Try books. A whole series. I read them when I was like twelve."

Ax's head thunked against the underside of the table. Hopefully the sound was lost in the general noise of the bar.

< Is she particularly intelligent? > he asked Marco privately. < Or was this book series likely intended to be read by human pre-teens? >

Who would encourage children to read detailed accounts of the sort of things the Animorphs had done?!

Stop worrying about Marco, Claudia - you need to be worrying about the Andalite demorphing under the table.

As for Marco? He was currently staring. At Claudia. With a completely dumbfounded expression on his face.

See, he knew there were "fictional" people on board. And they they weren't really fictional - it's just that their stories had ended up in other universes. And meeting people like Spider-man and Samus and Captain Kirk was awesome. But he'd never really considered that he could be one of them. But now that he did? He did not like the idea. He'd been so careful about what he revealed, and now possibly any number of random people could have just read about their entire lives?!

Marco's eyes flicked to the table - and since he wasn't in morph, he couldn't answer. But that was certainly a mark against Claudia's claim. Yeah, she was smart. Real smart. But come on, reading about them at twelve? That was insane!

He narrowed his eyes. Claudia could be telling the truth - but she could still be lying to try and cover up how she really got the information. Marco wasn't sure which he wanted it to be - if she was lying, yeah it'd turn out she was really a backstabbing bitch. But at least it wouldn't mean that anyone could know all their secrets.

Marco needed to find out.

"Alright then. Let's assume this is true. If it is, you'd know stuff about us that no one else could. So tell me - what happened to Cassie that time when she ended up in Australia?"

He'd have to watch carefully when she answered, for signs that she was lying. See, the thing is? Marco didn't really know the answer. Cassie had always been a bit vague on what happened. And he was confidant that Ax and Tobias didn't know either. Which meant that there was absolutely no way that anyone else on the ship could have gotten the information from them, either by psychically poking around in their heads or eavesdropping on their conversations. It was a question Claudia could only answer if she had in fact read about them in some books before she ever got onto Stacy.

"Uh," Claudia muttered trying to recall that incident from the books. It had been about seven years since she'd read them. "Oh! Oh! You know how Cassie ended up staying with an aboriginal family? She so had a crush on the younger dude from that family. But she didn't say anything to you all because she was dating Jake at the time," she informed them with an almost smug smile.

"Why would I make this up?" She demanded suddenly, her eyes narrowing as her hands propped on her hips. "I've never lied to you Marco, why the hell would I start now? You think I'm some.. Whatever? I don't even know... We can go to Dr. Grey and she can totally read my mind if you think I'm lying!"
