[ she pushes the cart containing a ton of stuff, a cat, and king into fin. ]

You sure you're okay...ish...?

I promise if I take my armor off I won't bleed all over the floor.

[ snorts. ]

[ she's tempted to throw something at him while he's only got one functioning arm. ]

Oh, well, look at you. Mr. Put Together. If only we could all be so lucky~ [ she's just busting his chops. ]

[ grabs a bottle and rounds the cart. ] Want a drink?

Pass.

You didn't get the mysterious alcohol presents coming to your door in the game?

No? Do you guys get gifts pretty often or something?

Where's my free shit?

Just the same mysterious free alcohol. We never drank it for obvious---

You would have drunk it, wouldn't you?

Huh...

[ she stifles a laugh. ]

I mean, I can't die, so, like, poisoned or not. [ she shrugs. ] But, nah, I can buy my own booze.

Don't use the can't die excuse! That's the worst!

I know. Like, I really know. Especially now. Not dying is literally the worst.

Bad joke was bad. But believe me when I say I know better than to trust some random shit that shows up at my door.

[Good.

But well then--- taking the bottle of booze that King set down next to him and handing it to d.Va]

Then here's your free shit. Cheers.

[ ...laughs. ]

[ opens the bottle but doesn't take a sip. insssstead she pulls out a deck of cards and sets them down on the nearest table or cube or what-the-fuck-ever. ] Look what I bought! [ duel monster cards! ]

I read the little book the deck came with and I think I got this~~~

[Raises an eyebrow.]

Can I see your deck or is that cheating before a match?

I don't want you to see this ass whooping coming, Intensity~ so let's leave it a surprise.

[ but guess who is excited! even if she's probably going to do pretty terribly. ]

You didn't just buy one structure deck, right?

[Please he at least wants a little challenge]

[ busted. ]

[ she deflates a bit. ]

I don't have a ton of points right now. I was saving up for something else... [ a mech, hopefully!!! ]

That's why I wanted to look at your deck. You can't just use some beginner trash like that.

If you want to play, we're making you a real deck.

[ she slides the deck over to him. ]

Touché. And alright.

[ she bought an ancient gears starter deck. seemed sort of fitting. not to mention she reeeeally likes ancient gear reactor dragon. it's so cool looking! ]

[Pulls out his own extra sets of cards (which is sadly not impressive as it is in canon, and starts adding to it.

Ironically he was building an Ancient Gear deck (though not the dragon specifically) for someone. So he has a good few cards that will compliment what she already has]

[ as she watches she fucken remembers the reason ( one of them, anyway ) she needed to come here. ]

My eye...

[ the right one has been acting up ever since session one. ] I got a picture of NaFunAI, if you didn't already have one.

I don't.

[Reaches out with his hand to tap her temple. Her eye should start repairing itself now]

[ this is... different... ]

[ but yay it’s operational again. ] Thank you.

And here. [ takes out her phone to send him this. ]

[Saves the picture in another folder and then leans in closer to look at d.Va's eye]

Do you need a kill switch for those in case they start acting up?

[ she needs to look at his notes again, so she can see which hosts she doesn't have a picture of yet. there are definitely a couple. ]

If you don't mind, yeah, that's probably a good idea. The flickering was starting to get to be too much. [ and she'd considered punching herself in the eye just to shut it off completely. ]

[Hums at that thoughtfully]

Then one for each eye, I take it.

Yeah. It'd be kind of weird to only be able to shut one off... especially if the one we add the switch to isn't the one that's acting up then. [ c- can't wait to be blind again at some point. ]

How much do you think that's going to cost. [ takes out her phone and stares at the shop. ]
