Yeah, we bought a map from a leopard who always met up with us at a bar near our warehouse. It's where we always go--went? For our info. That's how we saw the layout of the casino.
[ you know i have to kind of cope with the fact that a talking leopard isn't exactly the weirdest thing he's ever seen in his life. ]
Yeah, I don't get it either. The whole place was filled with animals mingling around with people. Nobody said anything about it, and I guess it was normal for us at that point, too. The security guard was a rabbit.
[ and he just. makes a face. ]
Ultimate Curry. It was guarded in the bar by a bunch of lasers and everything.
So, what, some all powerful whatever plucked you from the depths of Oceanside and was like anyway time to make this dude a thief, and then sent you on a journey to steal curry with like, no real stakes? What? What's the point of that?
Could've just been a flex of power. [ which is entirely possible. ] It was the middle of the day, everything felt...like there were and weren't stakes. It never felt like we were in danger, but we wanted to avoid getting caught and get in and out as soon as possible.
[ and because he trusts her, and figures she won't tell anyone: ]
The curry transformed into something else when we got back to the car. I think it's like a lie detector.
That's what I said. [ it's not promising. ] I got something else, too, but you have to promise you're not going to tell anybody. Not even the rest of the people in our group. I'm going to tell Will but...I don't think I want anyone else to know yet.
[ he fishes into his pocket again and holds up an ace playing card. like the number, not our pirate. ]
I can copy someone's power with this. Probably not for long, but it's possible.
[ considering this weekend i would have respected it being dropped. as it is, he seems a little surprised by the offer. ]
...the only time I ever would is to get out of trouble if I had to. And only if it wouldn't mean some kind of backlash against you somehow. I don't know how it totally works yet.
You mean like the people who still don't know what theirs does or the people who lie about it? [ thoughtfully. ] I wonder if it only works on our individual powers or if team powers are fair game, too.

Well - that might be handy, I guess? Do you know how to use it? [she shifts so she's more sprawled around his neck.]
This whole thing is just weird.
no subject
But it's definitely weird. [ ... ] Got something else too though.
no subject
[she doesn't comment on whisper because she's so back and forth on what she thinks of her, but nico doesn't need to know that.]
What?
no subject
...healing item. Think it helps with a higher heal than the remedies we can buy.
no subject
Foreboding. [if they're getting things to heal themselves with that obviously means it's gonna be dangerous.]

You can copy someone's power. Huh. [...] I won't tell anybody. You can copy mine, if you ever need to.

... It could be good to use if we ever need to know how someone's power works. But - yeah. Keep it just in case.
