I really hope so.

[ He doesn't like the thought of Kasumi getting ported home only to have the world end. He'd be okay if she went home and there wasn't the possibility of her dying but... right now going back seems like a death sentence.

Well, shit. Now he's got himself all worked up, and he just. Hugs her again. Sorry Kasumi. ]

[stealwithit]

[ Oof.

Well, that catches her a little bit by surprise, but she hugs back in a moment. ]

Hey... It'll be okay, Charlie.

[ Sadly, she doesn't sound convinced of it, herself. ]

[animated]

It had better be. Or I'll really regret not finding a way to drag you home with me.

[stealwithit]

You can't possibly harbor a criminal who's wanted in at least twelve solar systems, Charlie. Silly.

[animated]

In 2015, you aren't wanted in at least twelve solar systems.

I'm good friends with a cop, though, so your thieving will just have to be our little secret.

[stealwithit]

... Is he cute?

[ Asking the important questions 2k15 ]

[animated]

Eh, not really my type. Also, he's dating a fire elemental, so you probably wouldn't want to go there.

[stealwithit]

[ She leans forward, resting her chin on her hand before she sighs--in a grandly exaggerated way, seeing as she purposely moves her shoulders up and down--and shakes her head. ]

The good ones are always dating fire elementals.

[animated]

Still, you'd like him. Kara, too.

[stealwithit]

Once again, I trust your taste, Charlie.

--Is she cute--nay, hot?

[ Ha ha oh Kasumi wow you're so funny damn ]

[animated]

You are a riot.

You'd especially like Madigan- and before you ask, she's insanely good-looking.

[stealwithit]

So what I'm getting here is that you hang out exclusively with attractive people.

[animated]

Well, yeah. I hang out with you, don't I?

[stealwithit]

[ She rolls her eyes and pushes him a litte on the shoulder with her hand. ]

Oh, stop, you.

[animated]

Careful, Kasumi. If I have to defend myself, I will hit you with a pillow.

[stealwithit]

I see your pillow threat and raise you my own pillow threat.

[animated]

Word of advice? Never get in a pillow fight with an Animator. All the pillows are on my side.

what happened to this thread

[stealwithit]

Fine, then. You may win the pillow fight, Charlie, but can you win--

[ She raises her hands slowly. ]

A tickle fight?

I don't know but it's beautiful

[animated]

[ GASP ] You wouldn't dare.

[stealwithit]

You're gonna learn, Charles, that I am a rather daring woman.

[ ENGAGE TICKLE ATTACK ]

[animated]

Nononono--- [ he tries to scoot away, but he's stopped by the headboard. She catches him easily, and he doubles over laughing ] Dammit Kasumi--!!

[ he manages to wriggle free and tries to go in for a counter attack ]

[stealwithit]

[ See, the thing about basically being a space ninja is that Kasumi's reflexes are incredibly fast, and she manages to dodge Charlie's attack, all the while laughing. There isn't much room on the bed, sadly, which means she can't dodge very much. ]

[animated]

[ Well, while he's got her on the defensive, he waves a hand. Sure enough, here comes a pillow, flying from the bed to whack her. ]

[stealwithit]

[ Okay, well, that sure does hit her square in the face, but if Charlie moves the pillow away, he might find that there is no more face behind it. In fact, there is no more Kasumi on the bed. Or at least, it doesn't look like it. And now you know what one of her powers is, Charlie, asides from being super awesome. ]

[animated]

[ For a moment he's baffled, until he realizes there's still a slight dip in the mattress where the thief is sitting ]

The invisibility thing would work better if you were standing.
