[ he tilts his head. ]

Friend of yours from that village?

[unfriendliest]

He was Lili's partner - another noble, obsessed with clothes.

[voidbreaker]

[ with a super cute girlfriend SEND TWEET i'm biased. ]

And you were their favourite model?

[unfriendliest]

[ with a super cute girlfriend that kara was almost entirely unaware of yes ]

I doubt that. But they did spend a good amount of time just picking out clothes for me.

[ he still doesn't think anyone needs that many ]

[voidbreaker]

[ i'm glad we figured out how to cr now. ]

Then they obviously enjoyed doing it. Get used to it, she might do it again now.

[unfriendliest]

[ he sighs. ]

I am used to it. Kaoru helped me find clothes for our dates before, too, so...

[ shrug! ]

[voidbreaker]

So Lili will be expecting the best out of this shopping trip of yours, huh? Better grab some more stuff while you're here.

[ time to get shirts and jeans for kara.

...

... but also. ]

You saw the package in your cabin?

[unfriendliest]

I think I'll be fine. It's not like we go on that many dates, anyway.

[ lili will force him into getting more if he isn't, it's whatever. ]

...Yeah, I did. Did you get a toy, too?

[voidbreaker]

You should try some more. Nothing wrong with taking someone out and having a good time.

[ lili will force everyone to be stylish lbh. ]

Yeah.

... Kinda weird to not be just assuming Shadow's won again, huh?

[unfriendliest]

Is that what you want?

[ genuine question. kara doesn't usually pick up on these things unless someone says outright. ]

It is, yeah. I don't know if it's a good thing that we won instead, though - not when it has it effect like that.

[voidbreaker]

If it happens. You should give them more of a chance, there's a reason people go on so many of them.

[ he enjoys taking people out when it happens. more fun when it happens naturally too. ]

You willing to share effects?

[unfriendliest]

[ hmmm ]

...We could try it, if you want. Lili won't mind, as long as we tell her or bring her along.

[ but anyway ]

It'll cause someone pain for twenty-four hours. The only use I can think of for it is a distraction.

[voidbreaker]

[ ... hm. ]

I'd be up for that. She'd probably wanna come along, yeah? [ makes sense the first time should be all of them, right? ]

Mine's a heat seeking missile, basically.

[unfriendliest]

She would, yeah. We can talk to her about it later.

Yours sounds more useful. [ . . . ] But what's a missile?

[voidbreaker]

Fine with me.

Projectile weapon. You fire it like a gun, but the damage it does is... more explosive than localised.

[unfriendliest]

[ hate that he's looking pleased about that ]

...Definitely more useful than mine, then. [ damn. ] Between that and the watch, it would be easy to take care of anyone coming after you.

[voidbreaker]

[ i want this to happen for real now even when they're not cursed. then all just eat hot chip and sit by the lake. ]

Obvious though. If I leave behind a burning crater, someone's gonna know it was me.

[unfriendliest]

[ but will it happen or not? stay tuned to find out ]

Yeah. Though if it's a self-defense kill, no one would fault you for it, so long as there's someone else to vote for.

...Do you have any other plans for it, then?

[voidbreaker]

[ dramatic music ]

As long as there's someone else to vote for's the sticking point. Otherwise I'd be thrown to the wolves. [ maybe that's what they did today, who knows. ]

Not sure. It might be handy to break in somewhere else, if we need to. You could use your pain power as a trap, in a worst case scenario. Can't really do that with an explosion.

[unfriendliest]

I could, but only you and Lili will know to look for it. And even if I do use it, it'll be gone by trial, so they could pass it off as a curfew effect. I think it's better to rely on the insignia power in my case, to mark them.

An explosion... might be good to keep in reserve. It could damage too much, if you're breaking into a building, or hurt whoever you're with. But if this game has to end with another fight, it could be useful to have on hand - like my meteors were.

[voidbreaker]

Explosions are definitely a bit of overkill, but... if you burned someone attacking you they might have a harder time explaining that away than they would a bruise or a cut.

... All I can think of is using the watch and my power to move the cabin of whoever attacked me. It's not exactly subtle, or specific, but it'd narrow things down. [ and he's petty enough to consider moving their whole cabin into the lake as valid. ]

[unfriendliest]

You're right. If you could control the explosion at all, it would be easier to make use of it, but of course that's too much to ask for.

[ ...that makes kara pause, though, surprised. ]

Your power makes you that strong? To be able to move the entire building? [ that's - hm. very attractive.

hm. ]

How far could you move it? No one will notice if it's just a few inches, maybe not even a few feet.

[voidbreaker]

You could guarantee it'd centre on something, but that something'd be a person. And they'd notice.

[ ... ] Haven't used it yet, but it specifically says "temporarily ignore the limits of their own body to accomplish great feats". So, yeah. Probably can. Doesn't say I might not feel the effects afterwards, but I could probably still do it.

[ flexes. welcome to the gun show, kara. ]

I've got... assuming I'm using two extra boosts along with it? Fifteen minutes of being very fast to move it. Might depend on which cabin I have to move though -- some of them I could probably move down by the lake, but others are far enough away so I might just have to move it into the surrounding woodland.

[unfriendliest]

If nothing else, you could use it on the terrain - collapse a building on someone, or the trees, or destroy the land so it's harder to follow you.

[ like... there are options. ]

That's something you probably should test - after the execution, far enough away from anyone you don't trust so you don't give it away. Maybe in the woods? [ kara shrugs. ] You should know if there will be any side effects, just in case you do end up having to use it.

[voidbreaker]

Yeah. It's the timing -- not doing it too soon so I'm wrecked if I wake up on Thursday night, and not accidentally overlapping into the next week.

[ hm. ]

I can use the power fine, and I have plenty of ideas of what to do with strength. It's more... how I can also leave behind a clue. I'll figure something out.
