[ballies]

Please… I want to actually try and make something, and not just drop things all over the floor.

[sharkgirl]

[a little laugh, and then:]

Ugh, is it happening to you too? With the like, super bad luck in everything?

[ballies]

[ ……………………. ]

I just thought I was bad at crafts.

[sharkgirl]

I got stuck in a tree.

[this never happens]

[ballies]

I wasn’t just a really complicated tree…?

[ she hands her some elastic and some bags of bbeeeeaaaaadddsssss ]

[sharkgirl]

[her instinct is really to throw the beads everywhere in a fit of chaos so be glad she doesn't

she'll try to make a bracelet too, though.]

No, I mean I got, like - like my claw got stuck in a tree. I don't know how.

[ballies]

[ she’d be crawling on the floor to pick them up, and tama would Just Watch. ]

Just randomly?

[sharkgirl]

[

BECKS

anyway nimona gazes at the ceiling]

No, I was climbing it - you know, it's Ryuki's fault, actually!

[ballies]

[ WE DID THOUGH. ]

… It’s Ryuki’s fault you got your claw stuck in a tree?

[sharkgirl]

Yeah, because it was his stupid cat I was saving.

[ballies]

[ stares into the distance ]

… When did he get a cat?!

[sharkgirl]

I guess it wasn't actually his cat, but he's going around doing heroic deeds or whatever. He had a flyer to find a lost cat.

this nerd is her favourite nerd on every single planet and she’d blow up this whole game if anything happened to him. ❤️

HER FACE LOOKS SO SOFT, I’M SORRY. ]

Probably why Mouse’s team was so high up in the rankings, if they were all running around doing that.

[sharkgirl]

[HELP i'm glad someone does because nimona thinks it's the stupidest thing in the entire world

but she doesn't want to make tama mad, so.]

I guess. They also have Hanako, though, so like. Maybe Ryuki's doing all the work.

[ballies]

[ be nice to the most specialist boy in the world. ]

... Good point. I wonder what the criteria actually is, for the rankings? [ .... ] Did they get points for what happened over the weekend...?

[sharkgirl]

[absolutely not that man is prime bullying material]

... What, like, for Mika?

[ballies]

[ he is but that's tama's territory, she'll fight. ]

...

It's not something I want to consider, but-- [ hang on, she's getting out her phone. ] Fox is in first place, but they have the most people so that makes sense. But Mouse being in second... they did have more people than most for a while, but if points go towards the competition, what if all of our actions do as well...?

[sharkgirl]

[she tilts her head back, thinking.]

They gave points for her killing someone? Is that what you're saying? [...] Some heroic competition, if that's the case.

[ballies]

I have no idea if I'm actually onto something, or throwing out wild theories without any reason, Nimona.

[ ... ]

But we're all starting to wonder why they brought us here, and with the new rule... it makes you wonder.

[sharkgirl]

... Yeah.

It does. After all that talk about being heroes, they just roll out something super hypocritical, right? Just like always. I would've liked to be surprised.

You think the doors are gonna lock again on Thursday?

[ballies]

… I hope not.

[ bleh. ]

That was so we couldn’t move around or get out, wasn’t it? If it does lock again, then…

[sharkgirl]

Yeah. Like they were setting the stage.

[sigh.] Hey, be careful, okay? If they do.

[ballies]

You could always come and hang out with me and Ryuki on Thursday, if you wanted. I'm not sure how much we'd be able to do if the doors do lock, but maybe between the three of us we can figure something out to get the doors open.

[ s l e e p o v e r s ]

[sharkgirl]

[she grins a little.]

I gotta make sure Ace doesn't stay by himself again, but - yeah, maybe I'll take you up on that.

[ballies]

We can grab Ace too. It’s not like I don’t know where he’ll be half the time.

[ smashcut to her t-posing at ace to drag him off somewhere for curfew ]
