[ fine by him, he's just playing candy crush or something! a very early level of it. ]
Right? Wasn't sure what to expect from the name, but it looks like I definitely didn't have to worry about getting stuck with a stick in the mud.
[ didn't get much of a read on their actual leadership skills — they seemed pretty young and inexperienced — but he can work with whatever he's got. ]
I didn't see too much of yours, were they that bad?

[white tiger is perfectly fine but they managed to say like ALL the wrong things to hit every single one of nimona's i hate you triggers and now she will never let this grudge go, ever.
she reaches to tap his screen to do a combo for him in candy crush.]
They're a stick in the mud. [she says, with a little grin.] And they think they can beat me in a fight, which is certifiably max whack.

[ DELICIOUS, says the disembodied candy crush voice. he holds up his hand for a high five. ]
Do I even wanna ask how that debate came up?
[ like, damn, sounds like shit was getting tense over in tigertown. ]
Man, that stinks, though. Sounds like it was just a luck of the draw thing, too.

[she immediately high fives him. she will NEVER leave a bro hanging.]
I mean, I asked if I could be team leader if I beat them and they were like oh, haha, you can't beat me. [she makes a face.] But yeah, I don't get it.
I'm not really a team person anyway, so it doesn't matter all that much. Just kinda sucks to not get to... you know. [have friends? she's not saying that.]

[ heck yeah. ]
Didn't give ya the chance to prove 'em wrong, though, huh? Maybe after the dust settles you can challenge 'em to a little one-on-one thing. At least put your money where your mouth is, tigerguy!
[ ooh striped candies... clears out a whole column!! yeah!! ]
I like working with a team — me and Dhurke have been together back home for more than 20 years — but who they are definitely makes a difference. Ya feel OK about the rest of yours aside from the leader, or?
[ like, danny seems like a cool enough dude? ]

No, they just ran off! Like, what even is that!
[lame!!! white tiger is lame!!!
anyway. nimona watches him play his game, swinging her legs back and forth.]
... I guess, yeah. Argalia isn't bad, just a little spooky. Danny's whatever. I haven't talked to the other guy. [she's just not very good at making friends, is all.] What about you?

Maybe that's proof that they really did see ya as a threat! Like when I run from the cops back home!
[ zero shame in that. ]
They all seem like pretty good kids... and I'm sure things'll be real lively when we're all together!
[ rip ryuki ]
If the stuff about the places we came from being in danger is for real, I got no problem helping them protect theirs while I'm fighting for my own... though it's pretty screwed up the way they're pitting all the teams against each other with that.

[ ok, well, he's not oblivious to the vibe here, and given the hero name she's listed under in the directory, he thinks he can probably put two and two together. ]
Ahhh... yeah, I think I gotcha.
[ hands her an apple. ]
Like the type that think they're in the right 'cause they blindly follow whoever's in power even when those people are a bunch of selfish sleazebags. And they don't care who they hurt as long as it's not them, right?

she takes the apple easily enough, taking a huge bite out of it. she leaves fangies marks behind. and as for that summary, she just glances at him, expression a little wary, but also... like, impressed, maybe?]
Yeah. Exactly like that. [i hope datz can see the little sims ++ that hovers above her head.] You sound kind of like you're talking from experience.

[ i went back to the intro to refresh on what he already told her about this before and lost it seeing my fucking himalayan meme again ]
Well, it's kinda the Defiant Dragons' whole thing. The queen's a witch who abuses her power, and her DC Act's taken hundreds of lives and ruined a whole lot more. But most of the people in the kingdom have always thought that the absolute ruler descended from the Holy Mother can do no wrong, and that anyone who goes against her — or even just stands up for anyone else who does — must be evil and unclean.
We've been public enemy number one for years 'cause we've been speaking out against her regime and disrupting things where we can, so we've been painted as the big bad villains. Even made us the bad guys on a kids' TV show! The ex-Justice Minister had one of his secret police goons out hunting rebels down in the streets at night in the guise of this legendary figure, and lots of people thought that was great until it took a bad enough turn that more of 'em finally had to open their eyes to what was happening.
[ he adjusts his armband with the dragon mark on it a bit. ]
So, yeah. I'm sure there's plenty that's different for you, but I kinda get it.
And I think it's fair to question whose perspective it is that we're bein' given here, too.

[STOP YOU REMINDED ME OF IT AND I LAUGHED SO BAD
anyway, nimona is quiet as she listens to him talk about this, expression maybe a bit more open than she means for it to be. it's strange, to be alone, and then suddenly find yourself surrounded by people who are just like you.
silence and then:]
I don't know, it's not that different. [she says, quietly.] Maybe you'd be surprised at how not-different it is.
... People keep saying there's no reason for the team leads to lie, really, but I think that's bull. I think there's plenty of reasons for them to lie. And I don't just believe authority at their word, especially when they've done nothing to earn it.

Yeah?
[ looks at the raccoon drawings... ]
I really don't get what happened at all. Like— some big fight apparently happened in the casino last night, and all of us there just slept through the whole thing?? And none of us noticed anything weird when we first left the building this morning, but then there was all this damage when I came back just a few minutes later.

[she's in her feelings]
... I don't get how any of it works, no, like - we got locked in. You got locked in, right? [she looks up at him.] Me and Hanako were just screwing around on the rotating stage in the theater, and then bam, the doors locked. None of my texts went through either.

[she looks a little scolded by this.
in fact she opens her mouth, and then closes it, and then purses her lips and doesn't say anything, because watching mika talk about being a villain and how that's all she could be makes her feel like. lower than dirt.]
