Fifth Unused Utility Belt | Video and Spam, backdated to late last night

[hellofist]

[It's late, it's been dark for hours and she's pretty sure everyone else is sleeping, but Cass can't. It's not really a new thing, since generally crime fighters are out all night anyway, but the events of the port haven't helped much.

She's in her room when she turns the feed on, dressed in her Batgirl costume except for the cowl and gloves. She feels more like herself, dressed this way.]

What are... tips, for sleeping? Or... to do, to make tired? Don't say reading.

Is anyone else... even up?



[He said she could visit when she wanted. She even told him it might be at night and he said it was okay. That's why Cass is at Merlin's door in the middle of the night, not knocking before she just goes right in. The door was unlocked, so maybe he remembered she said she'd visit. She doesn't look around before she closes the door behind her because she's not really sneaking, so getting caught isn't exactly on her mind.

It's dark inside, which is good. It means he's sleeping instead of staying up all night doing magic things, or whatever it is Merlins do in their spare time. She makes her way to his bed, then climbs onto it to sit beside him and poke him in the shoulder.]

Hi, Merlin.

[It's about then that Cass realizes there might be a flaw here. This is a game about strategy, she can see that now. But she'll have an advantage, because she'll see the moves Merlin will want to make, his body will tell her what he's planning just as easily if they were fighting. Slowly, a frown starts to form.]

I might... cheat, on accident...

Because you'll be able to see what moves I'm going to make?

[He considers this a moment, then shrugs it off. If anything, he's kind of impressed that she can read strategy on such a small, nonviolent scale.]

I don't mind if you don't mind. It'll keep me on my toes, and it might make it easier for you to learn, if you can cheat a bit.

[Trying to anticipate his opponent's behaviour was always the tricky part for him. In draughts as in life, honestly.]

[She watches him for a moment longer and then nudges his knee lightly under the board with her foot. It's entirely affectionate and now that she's smiling again, she hopes it's clear that his acceptance means more to her than she really knows how to put into words.]

Good friend. Okay. [She puts the pieces she stole from the board back, then sits up a little straighter and gives the game her full attention.] Will try... not to watch you.

[OOC: Fade out here? Merlin kind of sucks at strategy games so it can be safely assumed that he will either lose or very narrowly win on the first try.]

(ooc: that's fine with me <3)
