NIMONA 💀

w0, MONDAY

[sharkgirl]

[if nico is by the tarkea at any point during the day, he'll find nimona standing with her hands on her hips, looking at a bedroom set. she kicks the leg of a chair experimentally, and then - turns into a cat, hopping up onto it. her claws come out like she's about to dig her cushion, and then.

she pauses, and with a little annoyed mrrrp of a sound flops down on the chair instead.]

[resumed]

[ well. there she goes. nico is out and about exploring the new area, so when he does come around and finds her shifting he watches for a moment before approaching. ]

Rough day already?

[sharkgirl]

[she rolls over on her back to look up at him.]

Eh. It's fine. I'm trying to find furniture for my room. What I'm lacking is paint. Did you know everything in White Tiger's dorm is white? Nightmare.

[resumed]

[ he would pet but she'd probably bite him again so he does not. also he really does cringe at the idea of an all-white suite. ]

Thematic, but unhelpful. Have you tried asking White Tiger themselves for some?

[sharkgirl]

[you never know whether or not she'll bite. it is a mystery! just like a real cat.

anyway, she gives him a dry look.]

No. [scandalized...]

[resumed]

Right. Because it involves asking them for anything. [ understandable. ] You know, you could just buy a bunch of rugs and nail them to the walls. Like tapestry.

[ that's a fucking horrible idea. ]

[sharkgirl]

[yeah and she'd rather die than ask them for a favor]

... Wait, no, you might be onto something there. [hops up like zetsu's little void cat that has all it's feetsies held out] Help me look for rugs!

[resumed]

[ king voice: WEH?

the cat is up! and nico's blinking rapidly like he's surprised by the enthusiasm. ]

Okay, sure. Rugs it is. I haven't been inside yet, but how hard can it be to find them?

[sharkgirl]

[weh!!!

she looks pleased! she throws herself off the chair onto his shoulder. congrats, you have a nimona cat burr.]

You can't really miss rugs. What's your dorm like?

[resumed]

[ there she go!! nimona is on his shoulder, and there's a chirrup from the baby cacodemon who's camping out in his hood again. onward they go. ]

Um...red. Really red. It's dark colors which is a lot better than what I was expecting, but it's actually kind of nice. I don't know how much I'll stay there, but I like having the option. It's comfortable. Big enough for some people to visit but not big enough to get lost.

[ or feel too alone, really. onward to find rugs. ]

[sharkgirl]

[i love you tiny demon

nimona patpats her paw inside the hood as a hello, and settles in.]

I like your leader. [she says, off-hand.] Kind of cool to have a bed to go back to, you're right - where are you gonna stay if not there?

[resumed]

I like them too so far. I haven't spoken to yours and I'm not sure when I will. [ with both demon and nimona settled he walks on. ]

I'll stay sometimes but if not there then...probably with Foxes.

[sharkgirl]

[she tip-taps her paws against his shoulder.]

Bro, you are so obvious about this Will guy.

[resumed]

[ he grins. ]

It's not like I was really hiding it either. [ it's pretty obvious they're from the same place if anyone looks at them long enough. ]

[sharkgirl]

Guess not. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be some secret or whatever but you were like oooh, he has such good vibes, I've got the googliest of eyes for him the other night.

[she is teasing.]

You guys are from the same place?

[resumed]

Aren't I allowed to see the good in someone? [ amused. he's still not outright going "yeah we've been dating for about a year" but it's fine. will would be important regardless. ] Also never use the word googly and my eyes in the same sentence again, Nimona. That's offensive.

[ especially since will is the one who was googly-eyed first. ]

But yeah. We're from the same place. So you can kind of see why I'm not interested in losing my world.

[sharkgirl]

Not as offensive as your face. [and she makes a face at him, playfully.]

I don't get it, but if it works for you... [a pause.] Okay, but what happens if one of your teams win, though, the other doesn't get to go home. Right? Isn't that the rules according to Team Dinguses?

[resumed]

That doesn't work on me, my face is supposed to be offensive. [ dry jokes. and speaking of, since she's close enough she can probably see very faint scars across his left cheek. ]

It's one of the workarounds we're figuring out. Nothing says it won't happen. We just have to pressure them into clarifying their winning terms. I don't really take no for an answer anyway.

[sharkgirl]

[she's so curious about the scars, but she doesn't think he'd respond very well if she was just like hey what's up with your face, so she's trying to be polite. for once.]

Me either. [re: taking no for an answer.] So if they tell you something you don't want to hear, you won't just let it go?

[resumed]

[ very funny, he actually wouldn't mind. but it's fine. walkies. ]

Something like that. It would then become more about asking in increasingly annoying ways until either they agree with me, or I find a different route to get what I want.

[sharkgirl]

[normally she wouldnt bother being polite but shes like i want nico to like me so i will be nice this one time]

Heh. [a little popup in the corner of the screen says nimona approves] If you need backup, I've got so many weapons.

[resumed]

[ nimona you fool, you are literally on his shoulder. but he sort of laughs. ]

Already? Where'd you even get those?

[sharkgirl]

[listen she's been on so many shoulders lately because people don't know what to do with a cat so maybe this is a fluke.

anyway, immediately:] Internet.

[or, well:] I spent all my tokens.

[resumed]

[ HELP. ]

We just got them today? [ yeah guess what nerd hasn't spent his yet. ]

[sharkgirl]

[it's so nice to play a character who doesn't think more than five seconds into the future]

Yeah! And I wanted to know what they do. And now I know. Which is weapons, and trading cards, and Wonderballs.
