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.

[resumed]

[ trade me. ]

Oh, yeah. Fox told me a little about the trading cards. I want to see those but...what's a Wonderball?

[sharkgirl]

[fuck no]

I've got a couple of them, but I gave one of them to Tama because it was of her. [wiggles.] The Wonderball is one of the things you can get. It has a random item in it. I got a fun one.

[resumed]

That makes sense. Guess I'll ask Tama next time I see her. [ for a moment he just. kind of lets his brain go "so wouldn't it be a funderball?" and he internally sort of snickers at his own joke and then he thinks maybe it's best nobody can actually hear his thoughts. ]

Is this "fun in general" or "fun for Nimona to torture other people with"?

[sharkgirl]

[okay but she'd find that very funny, so.]

Same thing. [8D]

[resumed]

Those are not the same thing. [ but he lets it slide as they approach a wall of rugs. ]

What's your favorite color anyway? We can start there.

[sharkgirl]

[she looks at him

and then down at herself, which is all pink, and then, flatly:]

Blue.

[resumed]

[


reaches up and pokes her in the kitty-forehead. ]

Just because a person has a specific color motif doesn't mean it's their favorite. Pink rugs it is.

[sharkgirl]

[waugh

she laughs at that, batting at his finger with her paw]

I'm not very complex, dude, I like pink and I like blowing stuff up. [nyehehehe] It doesn't have to be exactly this shade.

[resumed]

[ he withdraws his hand and sort of grins while he shakes his head. ]

I don't think that's really true. But I think you don't want to bother telling people you're more complex because they wouldn't believe you anyway. [ he says, kind of projecting, kind of picking up clues about nimona not caring about other people. ] Complex or not it doesn't matter. Your space should be a place you feel...comfortable, at least.

[ if not safe and happy. ]

Pink is pretty out of my wheelhouse, so you're gonna have to pick the shades you like best.

1/2

[sharkgirl]

[ALL OF THESE PEOPLE KEEP SEEING RIGHT THROUGH HER SHE'S GOING TO DIE

she just sort of. stares at him with her big, unblinking kitty eyes.]

I - right, yeah. [sorry about the claws that she digs into your shoulder, nico.]

[sharkgirl]

[immediately just throws all of that in the bin and turns to the rugs because she is RUNNING]

You would have trouble picking anything that isn't black. [quick, be mean] Or like, anything that looks like sadness and gives off laying on the floor at three AM vibes.

[resumed]

[ he winces just a little from the claws but not noticeably so. yeah okay that's what he thought. he allows this dunk, too, if only because he can't even deny it. ]

Hey, you have your favorite color and I have mine. Plus I lie awake at 3am in my coffin, get it right.

[sharkgirl]

[thanks for letting her escape, nico]

Your coffin! You're not a vampire, I've seen you in the daylight! [throws her cat hands in the air]

[resumed]

[ listen weird kids look out for weird kids. im glad she's just the epitome of the meerkat emoji. ]

How do you know I'm not a special kind of vampire? My place at home doesn't have windows specifically to block out the sun.
