w0, MONDAY

[sharkgirl]

[this is later when she's recovered from being deaf because tama screamed in her kitty ear

but she approaches in her human girl form and hands tama a card. tadaaa.]

[ballies]

[ GASPS. THIS IS COOL.



she will take it and look at it like this. ]

Ohhh, this is me? This is really cool, where'd you get it from?

[sharkgirl]

[yea!!! she's pleased with herself.]

I spent all my tokens and got three of these in one of those Wonderballs! Cool, huh.

[ballies]

Ooh, show me the other two.

[ she wants to see them. ]

This is in the shop, right? [ hmmm. ] Maybe I should get one as well.

[sharkgirl]

[she digs around in her pockets and presents this and this!]

Yep. The Amazoom. I got something funny from the Wonderball, so look, I think you should.

[ballies]

[ ooh. two people she hasn't see yet. ]

It looks like they're of us? [ gasp ] I can't believe we have merch?? That's really cool actually. Do I have an action figure? I'd better get an action figure.

[ come on come on come on ]

Let's go then, I want to get one!

[sharkgirl]

[help she laughs, tama is fun, hello]

Go go go! [ushers her off!! go!! she will come with, bouncing along.] I think you'd make a really #%$!ing excellent action figure - man, not this again.

[nyeh]

Anyway, if you find a card of me you're obligated to give it to me.

[ballies]

[ i love miss tama. ]

It got you too, huh? Jolyne was honking like a squeaking horn all over the place. [ LMAAAAO. clown. ] Imagine your action figure though, what would you want it to do?

[ hmmmm. she'll stick out her pinky finger. ]

I'll trade you for me, if I get you. Deal?

[sharkgirl]

Deal. [immediately. she will pinky finger swear with tama.

as for the action figure...] You know when they give action figures big buff beefy arms that move? Like you squeeze a button and they slam their fists down on something? That.

[ballies]

[ pinky swear!!! dammit i'm committed to collecting these now. ]

Like a 'hulk smash' kinda thing?

[ she mimes smacking her fists on thin air. ]

You could have little blocks with your figure for it to break.

[sharkgirl]

[i know i got these and was like oh no. i will never have tokens.]

Yeah, exactly. [she has no idea what the hulk is but she can gather from context clues. she copies tama in that motion, smacking her fists down.]

The little blocks are the penguins.

[ballies]

[ me rolling and getting good cards like ohhhhh free addiction. ]

It's been three days, you're that anti-penguin already?

[ she is rolling for her wonderball. wowee. ]

[sharkgirl]

Nah, I just think they're funny. They go dood no! when you stand on them and then don't do anything to fight back.

[she peers over tama's shoulder...]

I'm anti-tiger, though. [that is your team, nimona.]

[ballies]

If they stage a rebellion, they'll probably go after you first. Imagine a swarm of penguins running at you like "dood, dood, dood, not cool dood!!"

[ terrifying. ]


...? Did they do something?

[sharkgirl]

Okay but you say this like it's not the funnest thing I've ever heard. A full on battle against every penguin in here? $%#! yeah.

[as for the second question:] They said I couldn't beat them in a fight and also tried to mansplain my power to me, so they're dead to me.

[ballies]

There’d be a looot of “dood”ing.

[ oof. ]

That fast, huh? It’s not going to be an issue, being at odds with your team leader?

[sharkgirl]

[a shrug.]

I don't really care if my team wins or not. [her world can go fuck itself!] So I don't see why I have to be buddy buddy with some guy who sucks.

[ballies]

Isn't there a whole thing about saving our home worlds in the whole... winning team thing?

[sharkgirl]

Yeah. If you believe any of the stuff they're telling us.

[ballies]

It's not like we have much else to do but go along with it for now. Worst case scenario, it kills time. Best case scenario, we find out a little about how to go home.

[sharkgirl]

[she shrugs.]

Yeah, whatever. [flippantly!] Do you want to go home?

[ballies]

Yeah. I was doing something back home. I need to see it through.

[sharkgirl]

... What's your world like?

[ballies]

It... could be hard to explain, based on what you're used to. It's really built up and busy. A few people here have said they don't have the levels of technology we do -- computers, cellphones, vehicles, modern living everywhere.

[sharkgirl]

[eyebrow raise]

We have flying cars and digital billboards, if that's what you're worried about. I knew what a cellphone was before I got here. [what the fuck is nimona's canon: an essay]
