His patience was running thinner than ice. Aquila refused to say a word, partially out of spite but also because he didn't trust himself to not demand respect from the girl. That was a particularly annoying effect of going undercover - no one knew what he was entitled to. The boy tugged out a portscreen with mild interest, waiting for Alana to act on her words.
"Fine then, have it your way," Alana replied. Calling out to Katrina, she said, "Katrina! Call me over when the boys are finally ready to tell us the name of this game. I best be going now," and walked a bit away to a nearby tree and climbed it, sitting in the highest branch.
Vesper was quiet, sighing softly. He shifted. Well, that was one girl gone. Just Katrina. Though he had a feeling that she would be far more stubborn than Alana had been. He shook his head slightly.
The girl gave Alana an annoyed look. "It's Karina," she said, a bit irritated with the whole ordeal. She tried to calm her mind as there was the possibility that the other didn't have great memory. It was just very odd to her that someone who was technically her cousin didn't know her. Turning back to Vesper and Aquila, she spoke again. "It's funny how all of us were supposedly going to sneak out somewhere and only made it to the back yard," Karina noted in a much calmer tone.
Alpha overheard Karina saying something about only making it to the back yard and yelled, “Not on my watch!” (I need Cassie!)
(isn't Alpha stuck in a tree or…?)
(No, she got out of the tree and talked to people)
"Whatever," Alana replied flippantly and in a carefree tone.
Cassie groaned. "Alpha, we need to make a plan of where we're going to go. And that does NOT involve a ship."
(Yay! Your back!)
“Umm. If we run out of the neighborhood then-“
"I don't care what we do. But we're not going without deciding what we actually want to do. It'd be stupid to just wander around," Cassie sighed softly.
“Umm, I think there’s an ice cream place just North of here. We can walk there!” Alpha looked at the compass on her port and began to walk north.
Cassie blinked, then shrugged. "Why are you using a compass when you could just get directions? Who even uses the phrase 'just north of here?'" She said with a small laugh.
Karina scowled at Alana. She wasn't sure that she liked her much anymore. Overhearing Alpha mention ice cream, her mood seemed to lift. "I guess we're going to get ice cream. You two still coming?" she asked, waiting for their answer before running to catch up to the other two girls.
Vesper looked at Aquila questioningly. Ice cream? I think I've had it before. I don't remember. He shrugged slightly.
(GET THIS BOY SOME ICE CREAM ASAP. I REPEAT, GET HIM SOME ICE CREAM FOR THE LOVE OF GOD)
(lol Vesper is just a pile of issues parading as a person I swear)
(i highkey want Karina to ditch liking Aquila and have her teach Vesper that it's okay to be your own person but a. Cassie would kill her because @/Anxiety called dibs already lol and b. the angst for Aquila's background and the fact he's supposed to hate Karina gives me life so yeah)
(lol alright. A…I wasn't aware of that, I guess somehow I missed that lol XD. B. Yesss that will be interesting to watch play out)
“I want ice cream. Let’s go.” She decided to be nice and invite the others, so she screamed, “FOLLOW ME IF YOU WANT TO GET ICE CREAM!”
(Forgot I did that XD but for real Vesper needs to learn how to be a person I swear to god)
Cassie winced. "You could have just walked over and talked to them. Jesus christ."
(lolll yes he does tho)
(We gotta wait for Trix QwQ)
