Room 307, Friday night

[heromaniac]

Momoko finished wrapping the towel around her head and sat down at her desk, her loosest pyjamas covering the latest collection of pain patches. She had skipped class and spent another full handwavy day out in the fog and she was tired! The monsters seemed to be even more... monstery? than they had been yesterday"Ah, Moshi. I think I am just going

And, lo, there was a knock. And the smell of cookies.

Mmm... cookies.

[heromaniac]

Momoko looked up at the knock (and sniffed at the smell!)

Mmmm... cookies?!

"If you just smell like cookies, you might want to run away. I am totally in need of a sugar refill!" She got up to answer the door, grinning. "Hi, Jaime!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"I suppose I should stop using my new cookie-scented deodorant, huh?" Or, more likely, carrying plates of cookies.

[heromaniac]

"Ah! Only if you don't want to be eaten! Mmmmm. Those smell good; are they fresh baked?!" She stepped back to let him in. "They are for sharing, right?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"No eating me," Jaime slapped playfully at her shoulder. "And whether they're for sharing or not is up to how nice you are."

[heromaniac]

"Ow! Hey! No hitting the wounded!" She snatched a cookie off the top and waved him in. "And I am always nice. Unless you're secretly my arch nemesis, Ranjrzrl43, who keeps stealing my auctions." She bit into the cookie, turning to glare evilly at her laptop.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Injured?" Jaime asked with a frown. "And what are you doing injured?"

[heromaniac]

"Uhm. Because there's monsters? And I've been fighting them for the past few days? It's kind of my job, you know." She grinned.

[weldedtomyspine]

"But I thought you were super awesome! How did you get hurt?" Jaime set the plate of cookies down and looked over at Momoko. "But, seriously, are you okay?"

[heromaniac]

"I'm totally super awesome!" She chuckled and took another bite of cookie, rolling up a sleeve as she did. "It's just some aches and bruises, see?"

It wasn't too bad, really: gauze and a pain patch and a few bruises.

"Monster fights are different than fighting people. Although monsters don't use guns, so that's a plus!"

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime leaned in close to scowl at the bruises he could see. "You're sure you're okay?" It was her job, as she said, so he wasn't going to suggest she play it safe, but... he worried anyway.

[heromaniac]

"Yep! I'm normally a quick healer! Especially if I get injured as Blossom. See that?" She pointed to a small line, barely visible anymore. "That's from when Dinah was kidnapped and Shiva was shooting at us! It's almost gone now!" She was super pleased about that!

"I don't usually get this many bruises, but they were really mean today. That sounds weird, but it's like they got a power-up since yesterday or something!"

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime reached out to gently run his finger across the tiny little scar. "I guess that's pretty handy. Let's you fight longer, right?"

He didn't like it, but he understood it. The Scarab did the same thing for him.

[heromaniac]

Eep! His finger caused a shiver and she pulled her sleeve back down quickly in response. Right. Hopefully he'd put it down to being sore?

"I fight as long as I have to," she grinned. "Even hurt, if that's what I have to do to keep people safe!" She sat down and reached for another cookie. "Mmm! These are delicious!"

[weldedtomyspine]

His hand jerked back like it had been burned. "Sorry!" he exclaimed. He hadn't meant to hurt her!

[heromaniac]

"Nnnn" She shook her head, mouth full of cookie. After a moment to finish her bite, she added, "It's fine! It's fine! Don't worry, have a seat and a cookie! I've got plenty!"

Yes, she was now claiming his cookies.
