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 ]

[winn]

Because you might need it for something somewhere down the line.

[ says the guy spending his own funds on his projects for his friends and refusing any payment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe for special presents for friends or something for yourself.

[pneumo]

.........

I've never given anyone a present before.

[winn]

It's fun -- we can make something together for Kitty, if you wanna try. Or, [ he's trying here, he really is, appreciate his effort sascha! ] for Bigby.
