[they didn't know the term boyfriend or girlfriend before they got here. it's a courtship. it's stupid.

but! all kara has to say is that he doesn't want what ash is suggesting for lili to acknowledge that that's what she has to honor, more than anything else. so she nods at that.]

That's fine. We don't have to pretend it didn't happen, but we might as well not expect anything from it either, since it was a curse.

[she just didn't want anyone with weird surprised feelings to get abandoned in an immediate shuffle to move on]

We'll just say something later if different feelings come up, and be as certain as we can be that it's not because of anything strange the curse did to us.

[this would be so much easier, she thinks, if the third person was someone that she super hated? or would overall reject the idea of courting much faster? she can't deny that ash is one of her favored people in the camp - which just makes things.

strange.]

But now we've at least addressed it.

[unfriendliest]

[ "figure it out," he says. kara's already done that once, and it was exhausting, even if he likes where it ended up. he's not sure if it's worth doing again, not after a curse. ]

I think it's better that way.

[ . . . ]

At least for now. If something changes, then we'll talk about it later.

[ he's not getting metaphorically engaged because they got cursed and all maybe got a complicated doki, sorry to say. ]

Pretending nothing happened would be ten times worse, Princess.

[ but he does point at kara. ] I'm not kidding about that fight though.

[coastal]

[kara wants certainty, ash doesn't want commitment, and lili wants to do a wheelie]

All this and you still won't use my name! I should've asked you yesterday even if that's all the curse would've been good for!

[SHE'S POUTING]

[unfriendliest]

[ kara also wants to do a wheelie lbr ]

He won't use mine, either, you know.

[ he's tired. but he meets ash's gaze evenly. ]

Good. I'm holding you to it.

[ with or without smooches ]

[voidbreaker]

[ you can both do wheelies it doesn't have to be a date-date. ]

Here's a secret: every time you complain, I put it off longer.

[ haha. ]

And, yeah. Sure. Come find me at some point when... I dunno. The fallout from this weekend's blown over a bit. We've sure as hell got enough places to stage it now.

[coastal]

[HRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH. kara might be okay with ash not using his name but lili is just

so pouty]

You're cruel and awful to me.

[unfriendliest]

The more you complain about it, the more you deserve it.

[ it's

funny ]

In a few days, then.

[voidbreaker]

[ he just points at kara. ]

He said it, not me. [ but he's RIGHT. ]

Sure. You know where to find me. It's not like we can go really far here or anything.

[coastal]

Kara, you ought to be on my side!!

[HOW DOES SHE ALWAYS END UP BULLIED]

[unfriendliest]

[ he just

laughs ]

[voidbreaker]

Try not complaining every time and see what happens.

[ ooooh. aahhhh. ]

[coastal]

[there is a moment where she absolutely melts when she hears kara's laugh

but there's just a huff when ash responds and she's just

going to walk away now so it'll be harder to see her partially red face]

I'm done with you both. I'm leaving now.

[unfriendliest]

[ sorry ash but kara is just going to ignore you for a moment. he has to go grab lili's so he can stop her and give her a quick kiss, because they're disgusting, bye. ]

[voidbreaker]

[ right in front of his salad, kara? really? ]

[coastal]

[




is this how they're going to figure out the emotion share. because lili's honestly startled at that, but she will ultimately stop for kara? enjoy the sudden, intense, embarrassed doki of getting kissed in front of another person as her face goes entirely tomato red.]

Eh.

[unfriendliest]

[ haha yea, rip ash

meanwhile lili gets to feel the amusement kara does, and the surprise when he gets slammed with her embarrassment - but he brushes it off after a moment of startled silence. ]

...Your face is red.

[ he had to ]

[voidbreaker]

[ his SALAD. ]




Yeah, by the way: this week’s bullshit is “feeling whatever the person you’re touching is feeling”. Just so you know.

[coastal]

[ASH'S SALAD]

—yeah, I just got that!

[aaaAAAAA SHE'S BACK TO RUNNING AWAY, FACE STILL RED]

I hope you both punch each other into a stupor!

[SHE'S LEAVING]

[unfriendliest]

Thanks for the warning.

[ dryly, as he releases lili and lets her run. he'll catch up to her later. there's still a lingering amusement in his eyes as he waatches her go, and eventually turns back to ash. ]

...Does that mean we should wait until next week?

[voidbreaker]

[ bye lili ]

It’s one of the tasks, isn’t it? Might as well double up and do that and have our fight. You don’t go into a fight expecting to be uninjured.

We’ll figure something out. ‘Sides, it’d be better if we did team up for the 4th task anyway.

[unfriendliest]

All we'd have to do for that is have someone prick themselves on our blades.

But I won't turn down a fight. [ it always sounds like fun to kara! ] Just don't let the week's effects distract you.

[voidbreaker]

Where's the fun in that?

[ he nods. ] If you're fighting properly then it shouldn't distract you, right?
