hanaban | Nimona ☆ White Tiger

[let's saaaaay the grocery store, she's stealing food.

she startles slightly when he holds up the card, but.]

What? No. [...

because it's hanako she'll explain.] I can't like, do it here, but I used to be able to change whatever I wanted, all the way or only a little.

[ our infinite money...... ]

Oh. So, like, a dragon head and nothing else?

[ he looks down at the card in his hands ]

This specific one, though, with the wings and the tail. You've been this?

[she is stealing because it is the principle of the thing she is STICKING IT to the MAN]

I mean, yeah, or like, a whole dragon, or just the teeth, or the fire. [she looks at the card too.] I've been that. I like that one.

Why?

[ Hell yeah. He picks up a pear and passes it over to Nimona, yeah, stealing!! ]

I was just thinking.

[ ... ]

You haven't seen a "Hanako" card yet, have you? I'm kinda curious... did they get my good side?

[hell YEAH. she takes the pear and puts it in her pocket. she hands him a candy bar.]

I haven't seen one yet, but if I find it I'll bring it to you? Me and Reigen and Tama are collecting them. [...] What do you think yours is gonna look like?

[ this is a fair trade, yes, candy bar goes inside his pocket ]

Have you guys gotten a good amount already?

[ He's not too much into collecting cards. He'd start to feel attachment to people and that'd make it harder to kill them, we can't have that ]

Mine... That's why I asked about yours, actually. I think I'm probably going to look different, depending on the sort of person who took the picture.

[a little nod.] We've got like half the people who broke into the jail.

[but - that gets her attention.] ... Yeah?

[she's very curious, but she wants to let him tell her as little or as much as he wants.]

Yeah.

[ ...

please, Hanako doesn't tell people shit, even if they ask ]

Does your leader give you homework every week too? Treating us like kids.

[eh, fine with her. she doesn't like it when people ask her stuff either so she lets it go. she makes a face at his question though.]

Yeah. [...] I already think Tiger's a pile of ass, so I'm not super thrilled to have to do stuff to get things for them. Or whatever.

Oh, yeah... Ox said that about them too, that they're secretive. That must suck.

[ On the other hand, he got a touchy-feely team leader, which is a double edged knife because they make him want to behave ]

I don't care about secrets.

[...]

I don't know, they tried to tell me how to use my power, and then yesterday they cornered me in my jail cell and pissed me off. It felt like they were... I guess trying to make me like them and relate with them, and I'm not doing that.

[ ...oh. Because Tiger's ability is transformation too. That'd be like Danny trying to tell him how to be a ghost, he'd get pissed off too

... ]

Do you want to get back at them?

[yeah that's exactly it. she's been doing this shapeshift thing for long time. she doesn't need some person in a mask condescending to her, she thinks.

she glances at him with a little half-grin.]

Are you asking because you have an idea?

Hehe... Of course! Mouse was teaching me how to make a glitter bomb, and I was just thinking, Tiger could use a bit more color in their life, right?

[ color! noise!! mess!!! ]

[ohhhhhhhh she LOVES this idea. she laughs, nudging him.]

Uhhh, absolutely? How many of the glitter bombs do you think we can rig up?

No idea! But if we empty out the stock at the craft store today, they'll have to restock more tomorrow!

[ how they're going from a singular glitter bomb to AOE carpet bombing ]

[listen it is not enough to have one glitter bomb you have to absolutely ruin someone's life with glitter]

Okay, we're doing this, for sure. [she holds out a hand to him? they can go to the craft store and buy every single bit of glitter.] Guess that knocks out a task, if you teach me how to do it. If you're doing those, anyway.

Yeah, I owe Ryuki one, so I'm going to do them this week. Don't tell him, though, okay?

[ but yes, taking Nimona's hand so they can "buy" out the crafts store

He's going to have them buy glitter, glue, and a 300 count package of water balloons ]

Lips are sealed.

[this is so much glitter, it's going to be everywhere. they're gonna be covered in it for weeks.]

I gotta figure out a good place to put all these. [she says, as they're buying...] The rest of the team's gonna be collateral damage. Man down, man down!

[ RIP White Tiger dorm, they're going to be breathing it for weeks ]

We can balance them on top of door frames, hide them underneath seat cushions... Does your dorm have ceiling fans?

[she laughs a bit.]

Yeah. We tie them up there, right? Man, Tiger's gonna be pissed.

Yep! And when somebody turns on the fan...

[ the balloons will go flying! sploosh! all over the room ]

Tiger can stand to loosen up a little. We're making just the dorms nicer!

Yeah, that's what I think. It's so boring when it's just plain white and all... sterile. Like some sort of lab.

[she chews at her bottom lip.]

... Hey, thanks, actually.

Hm? For getting back at Tiger?

[ He had to suffer the sterile white lab dorm that one time too before they made it better, he's more than glad to take the leader down a notch ]

Yeah. It's not a big deal or anything, but you didn't even ask me to like, justify it, so. That's cool of you.

[she's trying not to be super lame about it, but not many people take her side in... anything, in her very long life, so even the little things are worth a thanks.]
