Inima nodded. She had never had a nickname before it was always Silver or Silver Spear. She couldn't help a beam, "You can call me 'Nima."

(ayy, that's kind of like Andrei and Murdock's quirks since Murdock does best boosting electricity/machine type quirks)
"NO! thats not it," Her voice got quite, "I felt the other things… um on your bones." Yuuka confessed knowing that she would have to at least tell him she knew.
Murdock's eyes went wide, and he wrapped his arms around his knees. "It's nothing. Nothing important," he said, staring at his knee guards
"I'm sorry, if I had known…" she sat silently, "umm do you need help," she offered shyly, "I have a contact who got me out of a bad situation and I am sure he'd be willing to help you."
Her smile made some of the awkwardness Andrei was feeling dissipate, and he let out a breath. Returning her beam with a grin of his own, he asked with mock seriousness, "Alright, since I've bestowed a nickname on you, we're friends now. For life. Come hell or high water. And awkward rambling is not allowed in such good friendships, so I'm gonna stop. Right now. Right after you tell me what your favorite color is, and so help me, 'Nima, if it's silver then I'll be very disappointed in you."
Murdock forced a small laugh. "No, it's alright. I've been out for about four years now. I'm alright."
Inima let out a small laugh. She actually had a friend, "So what if it is silver? It's a pretty color!"
Andrei sighed, fighting a laugh. "What? Ahh, man, I just figured you'd say yellow or something. I thought I had you pegged there." Pausing, he brought a hand to his chin as if thinking very deeply. "But just this once, I will accept it, because silver is indeed a pretty color and you can rock it." He nodded sagely. "One of my hero costume ideas was actually nothing but shiny silver and I had to scrap it because it would've made me look like a piece of crumpled up tinfoil with legs."
(Someone talk to my Tsuki)
(she’s lonely)
"Well then don't call it nothing," she closed her eyes, "That is damage and the mental damage is so much worse."she let out a shaky breath "There was a time when I though I was fine because I did not wear my scars I would be fine. That it really was nothing," She traced invisible lines on her wrists, "It wasn't the beatings that almost killed me, but the memories and fear."
"Why would your costume be made of silver?" Inima asked him, "It would make sense if I did it, but I don't understand why you would."
Murdock nodded. "That's what the therapist says. Says I should talk about it instead of ignoring it. And I kinda wanna try talking about it, but every time I do people don't believe me. Or they think I'm even weirder than before," he said, pressing his face into his knees
Tsuki sat on the floor, wrapping a piece of gauze on her newest wound to stop it from bleeding.
"Well, 'cause…" He waved his hands around vaguely. "Because electricity is kind of silver if you think about it! Come on, think about it. It was a terrible idea, but it could have worked."
(oof I keep trying to figure out a way to get everyone to like…be one large friend group and it's not working lol)
"Gold would have worked better," Inima pointed out, "It has a higher conductivity rate."
"Give me your phone," She held you her hand for the phone, "What kind of friend would I be if I did not listen? Just don't tell Ikuko about my history."
(Hold on, @Nerd, I'll try to steer things a little to get some interaction time with Tsuki."
Andrei, a bit caught up in that could-have-been costume and the way 'Nima had taken so well to the idea of friendship, nearly tripped on the girl bandaging herself. "Hey, be a little careful, yeah?" was what came out of his mouth in his surprise. "Of course, by which I mean I need to be more careful. That was on me. I didn't step on you, right?"
She could still remember the ripping pain as her bones cracked under her skin and poked out of her flesh, pushing into the hood of a car as she saved a small child from being run over
“What? No.” Tsuki attempted a smile. “I’m fine.”
(I've gtg, so pretended Inima is standing there quietly watching or something.)
(Yep! Of course! Take care, Shade, thanks for playing with me!)
Fine, fine, why is everyone here just 'fine'? Why not 'a little out of sorts,' or 'bleeding to death, actually,' or 'having a hard time coping with my inner demons at the moment'? Andrei bit his tongue right before speaking, though - a first, and probably a last, too. "If you're sure," he told her, eyeing the spots of blood on the bandages. "I'm Andrei. Andrei Hawkins. I haven't met you yet, don't think."

(Oh, man, I know. andrei didn't want to be sensitive and stay with murdock and it just got harder to keep people together. they'll come together eventually, i'm sure)
