Seems like a slight majority for;
>>5967151>>5967141>>5966921>>5966807>This is nice, yeah. You're happy to keep things friendly, and fine to enjoy the rest of the night with everyone.As much as you might like to see where things could go with him, you're happy to be getting along with Travis so don't want to go and trip over yourself when you've made a new friend at least. You're enjoying yourself and the way things are going, so it's fine to keep things the way they're going for the rest of the night. Maybe another time you could spend more time with him personally, for now though you're actually kind of eager to get back to the rest of the group, for once.
So you continue your conversation with Travis while the two of you carry the food together, back to the outdoor seating for the big projected movie screen and much to the celebration of the rest of the group.
<span class="mu-s">"Nice choice on the food Carrie!"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"Y-Yeah! I thought, you know, it was better than pizza at least."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"Hey, it isn't <span class="mu-i">just</span> a pizza place! You've gotta try it next time."</span>
Able to find your place among the group at one of the tables they dragged together for this, and more a participant than a spectator to the socializing. Though you wouldn't go as far to say you're "in" with the group, much less the center of attention, but you're able to talk and laugh along with them at least. Better than quietly sitting off to the side or fetching people drinks back and forth. Thanks to Travis, well it wasn't all that much really but a little helped you along enough of the way.
Though it is admittedly quite exhaustive for you to engage as much with as many people, but you try your best to keep up with things. Perhaps too well, enough to get distracted for your situational awareness to be amiss. It isn't until the others start asking and talking about the fuss among other folks in the outdoor seating area, that you start to pick up on something going on. Many people on their phones watching something, some broadcast, until eventually it garners enough attention that someone gets the movie projecting crew to cut it short and change over to a site or station which is showing it.
<span class="mu-s">"-and you don't think this would be a matter for the authorities to handle?"</span>
<span class="mu-r">"Sure I respect the police, but criminals like this don't respect them. They don't respect nothing! Well I've got some strong words, I don't know if you have to censor this or not, but I'm gonna say it."</span>
<span class="mu-s">"Well this is live broadcast, we can't exactly-"</span>
What you see, what ends up being projected on the big outdoor screen is some sort of news broadcast of an interview? It has to be something independent because it's like a live stream rather than an actual news corporation channel, but it still looks professional nonetheless.
