the scoff is fired up and ready to fly. how dare she! no one fucking asked solar to come in and read her for filth, did they. “ yeah, well – ! ” but… what leg does nat have to stand on? is it understandable? she's never really been able to gauge sincerity because it had always come as false wrapping around backhanded compliments. would negastatic amount to much without magnidude at her side? the question of the hour, wasn't it. nathalie huffs a sigh, pointedly not meeting solar's gaze head on. “ it's whatever. if the media wanna lump me back in with my brother… ” as if she isn't her own person. as if she hadn't just struggled for the last handful of years trying to figure out how to be whole on her own…

The plan was 'finish her ill-gotten breakfast', maybe go play with the office emotional support dog a little, and then boom go out and SAVE THE WORLD!! Or... y'know, whatever.

❝ I don't drink coffee, baby. Winners don't need help to get up in the morning, we just do. ❞ Plans change, of course. Or - Fuck, what was the saying? No plan survives first contact with the literal god damned sun.

❝ Team-swap? ❞ She? Hadn't heard a thing. Hadn't checked her email since - Orientation, probably. No mortal clue what this yappy blonde was on about. Didn't mean she couldn't answer her, though.

❝ Oh, you mean the pick-and-mix? Yeah, it's like a... Yankee Candle swap, I guess? See how us 'heroes' work on other teams, in other environments, to make sure we're 'adapting alright'. Anyone who isn't capable of adapting, or anyone who puts up too many 'red flags'? They're getting 'future endeavored'. ❞

Slurrrrrrp. Winners? They got themselves up in the morning by lying for the hell of it.

❝ I heard some folks are planning on making an alliance just to get one of the swapees kicked out. Like, whoever's the most 'eager', or the most 'earnest', or the most 'clingy'. Y'know, whoever's making everyone else look bad by comparison? Just gonna bury 'em in complaints until Blazer pinkslips them herself. ❞

Looks at the chard...thing on the plate, something to say for fine china if it can withstand such a blast.
