... Uhh. I can try and drag it up out of the water, but whether it'll turn I don't know.

[ give her a second, she'll see if she can hack it while it's taking a salt bath. ]

[selfimmolation]

[ he was joking but he's just laughing about it now as he watches her go ]

We might wanna try something else!

[ballies]

I know half the city's busted, but I feel kinda bad this one was my fault.

[ shhh, she's busy. or she was. she gets it partially upright and the whole thing starts creaking like it's going to break in half and she just yelps and drops it again. ]

Ah.

...



[ well. ]

... Yeah. Dodgems maybe? A haunted fun house? Something like that?

[selfimmolation]

Sounds neat. I didn't try out any of this stuff this week, and when I was at a place like this at home, I wound up chased by this marine...

[ kind of like. nostalgic/missing someone emotions? it's fine ]

[ballies]

You got to try the ferris wheel at least. [ before she broke it trying to take out a villain, it’s fine. ] That sounds like it’d be a common thing in your life. Wake up. Go somewhere. Get chased by a marine.

[ she looks around a little to try and figure out where everything is, before grabbing his arm and giving it a tug. c’mon. there’s a partially wrecked boardwalk to explore. ]

It’s kinda nice somewhere around here didn’t get completely destroyed yesterday though.

[selfimmolation]

The ferris wheel is the one thing I did get to try at home. [ amused, but: ] And I'm not really chased that often by marines.

[ anymore... oh he's being tugged ok ]

Well, the moon was kinda small to do that much damage. It looked a lot bigger up there.

[ballies]

I guarantee you you've been chased more by marines than I have.

[ this is a terrible benchmark, she's never met a marine in her life. ]

Considering the chokehold it's had on our lives for like two months, I'm actually kinda insulted.

[selfimmolation]

Tama, you're a cop. Of course I have.

[ he laughs a little at that ]

Like being tormented by a gnat, right?

[ballies]

Special agent. But-- yeah, a cop. I dunno, if we do something wrong they'd be pretty brutal with us too for soooo many reasons.

[ but boss is not a marine, so. ]

Yeah, those things are persistent. And annoying. And it definitely feels good when you smack it.

[selfimmolation]

Mm, I don't think it's the same kind of brutal.

[ lol. etc. anyway; ]

Well, gnat or not, that's over with. Ready to go home with your new body?
