[She winces sympathetically, shaking her head.]

All that from a storm?

[notaquaman]

You're tellin' me! It came out of nowhere, and it was over just as fast. My friend Barry got it on film, but...well, guessing even if he was here I wouldn't be able to show it.

[He shrugs.]

So you'll just have to use your imagination. But imagine dodging hail chunks the size of boulders before getting hit head on by a stray bolt of lightning.

[powersouls]

And all that's... normal where you're from?

[Every world is different. Mostly. But sometimes she hears things like this and it's just hard to wrap her mind around.]

[notaquaman]

Normal? [Nathan laughs.] Who said anything about it being normal? It was fucking insanity! Nothing like that's ever happened before, and nothing since. But, you know, people with powers just started crawling out of the woodwork after, so I, personally, did start to get used to weird shit being thrown at me. I'm just a victim of circumstance, you see?

[He rubs his chest.]

I only found out I was immortal in the first place after this crazy broad brainwashed all of my friends into these prudish zombies, saying they were better off. I tried to persuade her to change them back all nice-like, yeah? And fell off the roof of the community center I had her stuck up on straight onto a fence post.

[It was iron and pointy and everything. He grimaces.]

Imagine having to explain to your mum that you're still kicking after she buried you.

[Actually, he thought...it was pretty funny. But he's going for sympathy points here, so he keeps the smile wiped off his face.]

Nearly put her in the coffin in my place!

[powersouls]

[Wow, he really likes talking about himself, doesn't he? She can't even get a word in edgewise for most of that, and although she nods along, it gets more and more curt each time she does it.

And then... He finishes, and she's not sure how to take that. Even if he's not smiling, it comes off as kind of callous to her. She can't help but frown, her brows knitting together.]

That's horrible. Your poor mother.

[notaquaman]

[Nathan frowns right back, looking a bit put off. Even though, you know, he's the one who thought it was funny when his mom understandably freaked out finding out her dead son wasn't dead.]

I didn't say I was happy about it! Jesus! Besides, she's fine.

[He waves a hand as if to say it's not important. Cue abrupt subject change!]

It was your turn, was it? Truth or dare?

[powersouls]

[Oookay Nathan, whatever. She doesn't fight that subject change at all, though she does shift uncomfortably. He's a weird dude.]

Truth.

[Yep, she still doesn't trust him.]

[notaquaman]

[Another truth, huh? Ah, well, he'll break the combo next turn anyway.]

Alright. How about...

[He sucks on his teeth as he thinks, scrunching up his face so he looks even weirder than before. A weird dude indeed.]

What was the last lie you told to someone?

[powersouls]

Um...

[She actually has to think about this one. Beyond her lying to him about not having someone she was interested in, of course.]

I don't know. Nothing interesting. I probably said I was fine when I was cold or hungry.

[SORRY, NATHAN.]

[notaquaman]

[Uggghhhhh Tifa why do you gotta be so disappointing. He looks visibly deflated. He wanted her to tell him something...interesting! Something! But no, she's gotta be a big goody-goody.]

Fine. Give me a dare.

[He's tired of all these boring truths.]

[powersouls]

[WHATEVER NATHAN SORRY SHE'S SO DISAPPOINTING.]

Okay, okay.

[Give her a second... OH.]

Do you know Zack? The guy with the spiky black hair? Challenge him to a squatting competition.

[notaquaman]

[Nathan grimaces.]

Figure I'd be a right match for him, do you?

[He flexes an arm that, even through his coat, is clearly lacking muscle definition. But he stands, because he's a man of his word--at least where it comes to dares--and stretches out.]

Or maybe you're looking forward to watching me get my ass kicked.

[He shoots her a raised eyebrow. As if to say shame on you, sadist. But then he saunters off, fully expecting her to follow after him and watch him make good on his dare.

The truth and daring will continue once he's finished with Zack.]

[powersouls]

["A right match". Yep. Sure. That's it. Impressively, she doesn't make a face when he flexes, even though she thinks it's absolutely ridiculous, and then follows him.]

Hey, I never said who I thought would win.
