Yeah, I'm looking pretty good for almost 50, am I right?

[winn]

Scary good, even.

[takingkarabusiness]

Dermatologists hate me!

[ she laughs at her own joke ]

Anyway. I can't think of anything else major going on.

[pneumo]

[ Oh good, because Sascha's just finished scrounging himself up out of bed after a good breakfast of some warmed raw meat courtesy of Bigby (and yes, he made sure to brush his teeth and wash his hands. He can people sometimes!) he's up and made his way over for his nightly....school? ish? lessons? talking??? with Captain Nobeard. He's been promoted from "boyfriend."

He's smelled Kara on Winn before, but when he reaches the outside of the room and he gets a fresh whiff of it he blinks, poking his head around the corner. UV SHADES AND ALL. ]

--Hi Winn! [ who is this who is this who is this HELLO PRETTY BLONDE LADY. ]

[winn]

Sascha! Right on time.

[ he smiles and stands up, looking for something to wipe his hands on, oh good a tissue! that'll do. ]

Come on I want you to meet my best friend from home - remember I told you about her? Kara - Sascha. Sascha - Kara.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she sits up and smiles warmly ]

Hi, Sascha. Winn told me a bit about you.

[pneumo]

Oh...! Hi! He smells like you a lot--nice to meet you~

[ Because for him that is a totally normal greeting. ]

[winn]

[ shaking his head with a half-amused half-pained smile. no sascha that's not how you people. ]

We hang out a lot.

[takingkarabusiness]

Hopefully not a bad smell.

[ whatever, she'll roll with it ]

[pneumo]

[ This is totally how you people what are you talking about! ]

Nope! It's very nice♥ Almost as good as Obi-wan. [ Bigby ranks #1, followed by Kitty and Ramse at #2. ]

[winn]

[ he turns on the light in his communicator, setting it down by kara, and walks over to the light switch to kill the main light ]

Sascha can't see in the light so until I can figure out how to block it out on the sick pair of shades I'm making him, this is our compromise -

[ he explains, before making his way back slowly to sit by kara, eyes still adjusting to the change. ]

Come sit with us, man, what've you been up to this week?

[takingkarabusiness]

Good to know. I think my eyesight is better than yours in the dark, though, Winn. So it's not a big deal for me.

[ she makes space between them for Sascha ]

[pneumo]

[ yes♥ Winn you really do have the best friends--Sascha's going to clamber on in between them, pulling off his shades happily--so Kara might see that he lacks irises entirely, and that it's just his dilated pupils. ]

Um... Well! I slept with Bigby every night, and he only rolled on top of me once. [ Bigby is a 9-foot+ wolf for the record ] And I got a face scan from the pretty doctor, and I took medicine for the first time ever, and then Nami took a bunch of money from my account☆

[ There is nothing at all suspicious or alarming in all that ]

[winn]

Only til my night vision goggles are done -

[ he's kidding! or is he? yes, yes he is, he has way more important projects to spend his time on.

wow. where does he even start here sascha? he frowns. ]

What medicine? And what was the money for?

[takingkarabusiness]

Is Bigby your friend?

[pneumo]

Um....I think so. He hasn't said we are yet, but the pretty lady with blonde hair said we don't need to say it out loud to be friends. I hope we are... [ he would like that very much if Bigby would be his friend who is also a boy. yes. ]

Oh--and the money was for the pictures of the gorgeous women! [ the Atroma....he thinks they're hot ladies. ]

[winn]

[ oh god sascha. please tell him you didn't just tell them about buying porn. this is not the conversation he wanted them to have in front of kara (or ever). ]

Sascha...[ gently. how does he phrase this? ] Who are these women and -- do they know about the pictures? [ he is not ready to dad, why are you putting him in this position? he thought you liked him! ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ winn, this is your problem. she's going to sit back and see how this plays out ]

[pneumo]

[ He DOES like you! That's why you're in this position :D Welcome to father-friendhood, population: why this. ]

Um...I don't know if she knows! But Nami said that it was one of the gorgeous women that kidnapped us here for TV, so now I can prove that they're pretty. [ THE ACTUAL STORY: Sascha misinterpreted something Allen said, thought the Atroma were all gorgeous ladies and went around telling people this. When asked for proof? he found Nami who sold him a picture of the host Diamond for a tiny sum PLUS INTEREST. Said interest he recently just paid back to Nami in full and now HERE WE ARE. ]

[winn]

[ ok - this is sounding a lot better than what he feared. but how would this nami person get pictures of the atroma? ]

You mean you have actual pictures of the Atroma? How did - Nami get them?

[ and why aren't they common knowledge? -- wait. ]

Are they -- of the woman who was on the network? [ because in that case 1. he doesn't trust that that's the atroma's true form and 2. sascha you just got ripped off. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

He seems happy with the transaction, Winn...[ so don't ruin his fun ]

[pneumo]

I dunno if she was...why? [ YEAH WINN, don't ruin this for him. Why u gotta be a debbie downer ]

[winn]

[ alright alright. he'll ruin it later. ]

Never mind.

[ here, he'll pat your back, sascha, doesn't that make you forget all about it? ]

[takingkarabusiness]

But it is important not to give all your money away.

[pneumo]

How come?? [ He doesn't use it for anything currently ]
