Killing someone isn't usually how you get information like that. [ but he's pretty sure that ash knows that. ] But obviously you got out alive, so maybe it was worth it.
...You never struck me as the type to get killed easily, either.
[ there's something else he's going to say, but kara doesn't quite make it before, haha, another memory is shared between them. he, uh. doesn't much care for reliving that one, either. ]
As long as we get out of this, sure. [ not to bring the mood down. ]
...
Super strength, by the way. That's my power. For one hour, plus increased resilience to do things my body couldn't normally. I can tell you my team and title too, if you want that.
...I'm not lecturing you, if that's what you think. But I do think it's smarter to find someone else, anyway. The more of them we find, the more likely we are to learn what's in play if they keep winning.
[ he nods, though. ]
She's always been that like - thinks no one likes her, even though they trust her with their secrets. She's blind, that way.
Lili is apparently working through a backlog. [ he says, dry as the desert. ] There are a few I've picked out to ask, but I can't guarantee that they'll want to work with me.
[ at that, he waves a hand through the air. ]
She'll just say that trust, in a situation like this, is different from liking someone. And she isn't wrong about that - but she's an idiot sometimes, when it comes to other people.
'Course she is. [ he looks thoughtful. ] I mean. Asking doesn't hurt, and if they say no then that's someone to shove at one of us another time. Akira's got the same kind of crap going on that makes people want to tell him things, so he might have some luck where me, you or Lili don't.
[ pfft. ]
The sheltered rich girl stereotype? [ 'cause y'know. she has the hallmarks of it. ]
Sheltered, not around people, doesn't know how to deal with people in some cases? That kind of thing? [ ... ] Makes sense though. She didn't know what a high five was.
[ c'mon. ] Trust's a two way street. And, sure, the arguments there if he's not telling anyone ever, but if you're charging up to everyone asking their powers it puts the other person in vulnerable place straight up.
[ oh. wow. both of you.
ash sighs, and holds up a hand: ] Hit the palm of your hand against mine. And don't be shy about it.
He said himself that no one gets to know his team - not even Lili. So why would I bother? There's no point in wasting my time when I know it's not going anywhere useful.

...
Eh. Maybe. Pretty sure I blacked out and the next thing I remember is the mansion. Who knows what's waiting for me when I get back.

[ hm
oh.
well. ]
... Lili wasn't kidding when she said you guys had to be down to the last man standing by the end, huh? Even the hosts...?
no subject
Why would she joke about something like that? Mikazuki and Roxas were corrupted, anyway; we couldn't risk them screwing things up.

If there was a way around it, we'd have found it. Either way, we still won, so it doesn't matter that much anymore.

[ he's
not expecting ash to just out himself like that, though? kara just stares in surprise for a moment, but then he nods. ]
Poison. Winter. My role is the "Evil Queen."
no subject
Huh.
"The White Witch"
[ BLUE TEAM GOOOO. ]
no subject
And she told you we're trying to find someone from Shadows?
no subject

How’s that going for you? Finding another person.
no subject
[ ????? ]
Lili found one. I don't know who, but apparently they came to her.
no subject
[ y'all. ]
Yeah, she mentioned. Some people just seem to get all the luck -- or are more approachable than they can admit to themselves.
no subject
[ he nods, though. ]
She's always been that like - thinks no one likes her, even though they trust her with their secrets. She's blind, that way.
no subject
All while being very insistent that no one trusts her, misses everyone running at her to spill details. No one's pointed that out to her?
no subject

The sheltered rich girl stereotype? [ 'cause y'know. she has the hallmarks of it. ]
no subject
...But yeah. She's the daughter of a noble, so she was always going to be sheltered. She's grown out of some of it, but the rest still shows.
no subject
[ kara are you being a little binch? ]
Sheltered, not around people, doesn't know how to deal with people in some cases? That kind of thing? [ ... ] Makes sense though. She didn't know what a high five was.
no subject
[ bias aside, he thinks that's actually pretty fair? ]
Yeah, that sounds right. [ there's... more to it, but that isn't for kara to tell. so he focuses on something els instead. ] ...What is a high five?
no subject
[ c'mon. ] Trust's a two way street. And, sure, the arguments there if he's not telling anyone ever, but if you're charging up to everyone asking their powers it puts the other person in vulnerable place straight up.
[ oh. wow. both of you.
ash sighs, and holds up a hand: ] Hit the palm of your hand against mine. And don't be shy about it.
no subject
[ he just. stares at ash's hands for a second. ]
