[She hates everything. Just... Everything. So rude.] Don't say it to his face, Catty. [Sighing and rolling her eyes now.] Yeah, I am pretty awesome.

[traitorously]

What will you give me not to? [Twisting her head so she's look right up at Vanessa] I'm glad you're starting to see it, too.

[fatedchaos]

Are you really trying to blackmail me right now? [She smiles despite herself.] That was mostly a joke.

[traitorously]

Absolutely. [Guess whose knee is getting poked again] Nope, you've said it now. No take backs.

[fatedchaos]

What do you want? [Poking her cheek.] I can take it back all I want.

[traitorously]

That's not how this works. You have to make an offer he - hey! [She puffs out her cheeks like that's some kind of defence] Stop that.

[fatedchaos]

[poke poke poke.] Usually blackmailers already have in mind what they want.

[traitorously]

Maybe I'm a special kind of blackmailer, hmm? Did you think of that?

[fatedchaos]

If by special you mean that you have no idea what you want, then yeah.

[traitorously]

Maybe I want to know what you want to give to me, hmm?

[fatedchaos]

[A frown.] I don't really have anything to give you. Clothes? I'll... Yeah, I've got nothing.

[traitorously]

[Huffing a sigh] You're terrible at this game.

[fatedchaos]

[Well, that's just mean. She's trying the best that she can!] I don't often get blackmailed by my best friend.

[traitorously]

[There's a pause] I actually forgot what I was holding over you.

[fatedchaos]

I'm definitely not about to remind you, then. [So there. She sticks her tongue out at her.]

[traitorously]

But I do have something! You can't just back out on being blackmailed, that's not fair.

[fatedchaos]

[Vanessa shrugs.] Hey, you can't even remember what it is. I can back out all I want.

[traitorously]

[She makes a disgruntled noise] No, I don't like that one. How about...you give me your time?

[fatedchaos]

[She squints at Catty, a look of confusion on her face.] But you already have my time?

[traitorously]

Yeah, but... [She tiptoes her fingers along Vanessa's calf] I want to keep it. [Don't leave her ;A;]

[fatedchaos]

[Oh... Sob. She's quiet for a moment, running her fingers through Catty's hair again, twisting the strands around them.] Okay. You can keep it. [She doesn't want Catty to leave her either.]

[traitorously]

[She scrambles up to press a kiss to Vanessa's cheek, and then grabs her by the hands, tugging her up] Come on, let's go!

[fatedchaos]

What? [Vanessa stumbles to her feet when she's suddenly tugged up, another look of confusion on her face.] Go where?

[traitorously]

To test things! If our powers are going wonky, we should find out.

[fatedchaos]

[She should be worried. And she is.] How are we going to test this, exactly?
