[she says, casually.] You're right though, there's no way I'd stick around for the whole limit. And is it like, tantrums about everything or a specific thing? And also, why, and also how.
You know that's like, more common than not, right?
[people thinking she's garbage!] Anyway, I told her I'd hurt people who deserved it, and she called people like that villains, and it was a whole thing.
That's stupid. [ both things, but he doesn't linger on it being common because people commonly agreeing on hating others is just, like, what happens sometimes, clearly. so the second part is important ] Guess that'd make me a villain for her too.
[she may have used it on purpose because she thinks it's funny to hear her mouth do the scott pilgrim thing]
Yeah. I figured you'd get it. [this is why he's blorbo.] The heroes are the knights and the Institute where I come from, and every single one of them --
[... there's a little hiccup of a pause here, like hesitation. and then, more fiercely:]
-- every single one of them would run a sword through anybody they thought was evil without a second thought.
... Yeah. [ there's something a little wry for a second before he smirks again ] "Wanted: dead or alive" is pretty much just a fancy way of saying the government gets to decide if they keep you locked up for the rest of your life or chop your head off in a public place if you get caught.
-- Right. Right, yeah, I do. [she shakes out her arms, shakes out her legs, and then looks up at him with a grin. yeah, yeah, that's the idea.] A car race I'm going to kick your @#!$ at.
[ cars cars cars cars!!! anyway the first struggle is ace cosplaying as nebula from guardians of the galaxy and trying to figure out how to open a car door. ]
So how's this work? [ knocks on the glass like let me in ]
Well, it can't be that hard if all those guys are doing it.
[ they said they were going to race each other but i think they will just crash each other. anyway, ace is opening his own car door after seeing her go. wow!

A cape? [ stop trying to get him to cover up his tits!!!! ] And I got a card of that little wolf mink.
[ i understand nimona doesn't know what a mink is ]
no subject
Wolf... what. [blinks.] Does the cape do anything? I got a star pin.
no subject
[ no this isn't normal. anyway; ]
It lets me blend into the night for ten minutes? I guess? What's your star do?
no subject
[anyway!] If I pin it to someone they throw a tantrum for an hour.
no subject
[ she didn't know with mink either tho. anyway; ]
I guess that's kind of funny if you're not stuck with them the entire time they're throwing it. It gets way old after an hour.

no subject
... Yeah, maybe. But here's the thing: villains are cooler than heroes. They can do whatever they want.
Because like, people see you as a bad guy? #$^% it, own it. They're never going to change their minds anyway, so why bother trying?
no subject
You're talking to a pirate, Nimona. Preaching to the choir. [ his grin's a little sharp ] "Heroes" back home are the marines.
no subject
Yeah. I figured you'd get it. [this is why he's blorbo.] The heroes are the knights and the Institute where I come from, and every single one of them --
[... there's a little hiccup of a pause here, like hesitation. and then, more fiercely:]

[whew. okay. deep breath.]
... Just like the marines? [are they the same?]
no subject
[ yeah, they're the same. ]
no subject
her expression is very, very angry for a couple of seconds, and then she just - exhales, and pushes her hair back out of her face.]
So then you don't get caught. [and she socks him in the shoulder.] Right?
no subject
That's the idea! Hey, c'mon, I think I see a pink one over here. You owe me a-- car? Car race.
no subject
-- Right. Right, yeah, I do. [she shakes out her arms, shakes out her legs, and then looks up at him with a grin. yeah, yeah, that's the idea.] A car race I'm going to kick your @#!$ at.
Wow, that really doesn't stop, huh.
no subject
[ it's not like he even swears much, but also, annoyed, ]
no subject
Heheh. Butt.
no subject
[ laughing along because they are BOTH mature ]
no subject
she grins, and scoots around him to shove him off towards the cars let's GOOOOO]
no subject
So how's this work? [ knocks on the glass like let me in ]
no subject
[she can't even use a carefully placed fuck because her swears are nerfed...]
I guess you get in and make it go. [she thankfully knows how to open a car door. which she will do.]
no subject
[ they said they were going to race each other but i think they will just crash each other. anyway, ace is opening his own car door after seeing her go. wow!
he has no idea what any of these controls do!!! ]
Okay, maybe it's not like sailing.
