►text. backdated to the evening of 5/12.

so i mentioned this to someone a little while ago, but superpowers can have some serious downsides. like the fact that i'm really durable? means i've never been drunk while also having my powers

but i've also never been in a magical pocket dimension that could provide liquor from all across the multiverse and i'm willing to bet that can change. what i'm looking for is drink recommendations--give me the strongest drinks you've got back home. no need to mention if they taste like lighter fluid or not

and since you're not supposed to drink alone, my door's open if anyone wants to join me. third floor, room 50. if you're a creep i reserve the right to kick your ass and then kick you out ♥

His people skills are just not that impressive. He means well. Some of the time, even most of the time. He wants to be a good man.

[Not something Leonard particularly fancies. Too tall an order and also not very desirable.]

Don't take the patronising personally. That's not you. That's him.

[Punching him seems to work, but maybe a bit extreme a suggestion, given Kara's strength.]

Yeah? He tells me he likes you.

Really?

[ she noticeably perks up at the idea that mick's been talking about her favorably. ]

It was cool. I think we had a bonding moment.

He even mentioned you by name. That's saying a lot, he's not that good with names. Doesn't care much.

[Which implies that to remember and actually say her name, he must like her.]

What did you do? Burn stuff?

[ she actually knows this about mick, so the fact that he remembered her name makes kara all warm and fuzzy. ]

Yeah. I dug a fire pit outside and gave him some accelerant from my home planet so he could light some stuff on fire. And then we talked. It was nice.

You'll make me jealous, talking like that. [He takes a sip from his bottle, then leans forward to catch her eyes, arching an eyebrow.]

But you still like me best, yeah? [Taking this in the less expected direction.]

[ she rolls her eyes as she takes her own drink, gently giving len a shove with one of her feet. ]

Sure, Len. You're my favorite.

Hey, it has to be said some time.

[He smirks and pats himself down, discovering a pack of cards. Leonard shuffles them, eyes on her as he lifts his eyebrows.]

You feel like playing? What's your game?

Solitaire.

[ she manages to keep a straight face as she says it, but it's pretty clear she's joking. ]

Right. Cause that sounds just like you.

[Sorry, Kara, your being social is entirely too obvious.]

If you were less squishy, I'd say something like Slapjack. But how about we go for Gin instead?

Ain't my fault I've got such a delicate disposition.

You're on.

[That said, he's already dealing the cards. What better thing to do to avoid talking about emotions too much?]

I'm not going to have to worry about you counting cards, am I?

[ she is teasing but... also serious. ]

You're free to worry about whatever you want.

[There's a smirk, what does that tell you?

Of course he's counting cards, that's the least surprising reveal here.]

Nice non-answer there.

[ and if he's going to count cards, she's just going to let her eyes glow ever so faintly as she picks up her hand and then glances to the deck. it fades after a heartbeat, almost like it never happened.

almost. ]

I go first since you dealt, right?

It's a reflex.

[Counting cards or giving non-answers? Both, really.

Also seems rather pointless, since it's not like they're playing for anything.]

Play with Mick sometimes. He'll try to spring strip poker on you and that's something I want to see.

Not you stripping. Him getting punched.

[ that's a statement that calls for a dramatic eyeroll if kara's ever heard one. ]

Something tells me he'd enjoy that so there'd be no real point to it.

But I do have freeze breath.

Yeah?

[Hmmmm.]

Definitely use that against him, he ain't into that.

How cold do you get?

Cold enough to freeze a person solid.

[ however cold that may be. she's never accurately measured it. ]
