#''i can handle everythin' dunt even lift a finger surgie''

"Oh nice--that just means less 'ta move! Man, this might be easier than I thought."

She peered at her change--it wasn't bad money. Not a lot, but not a little, either--gold gems weren't exactly common. She could probably just give Surge money for a while--it's not like she doesn't have a bunch of obscure gem stashes somewhere around the vicinity.

Actually wait if she's gonna be with Cory then how the hell does Cory get her money? Sure, the house is free, but like... how did she buy food? Or... anything, really? Surely she didn't actually get paid for anything she did at the museum. That'd be kind of silly--it's community work.

"I'd 'prolly just give ya some cash until ya could get a job. Or maybe we ask my sis how she makes money--'cause there ain't no way she's got a job right now. If you're gonna be livin' with her, ya might as well know her secrets," couldn't help but snicker ever so slightly.

And then she didn't have any papers to give to Neera. Hm.

Maybe she could ask Sony to help with forgeries...? It's. Not the most honest thing to do, but he's a mobian too! So like, he'd probably be a good thing to copy from...?

"I mean, I ain't a stranger 'ta forgin' nothin', but yeah maybe somethin' a 'lil more honest could be good. Maybe Neera can give you a pass...? Or we could jus' copy an' past from Sony's stuff--Iunno how okay he'd be with that though."

Crashing here?

She put a hand on her chin. Then, put a finger up, pressing into the inside of her ear once.

She tapped her foot on the floor impatiently. Once, twice--oh there he was. Wasn't even gonna let him get a word in edgewise, "Yo, Sony, ya think a friend can crash at our place for the night? She kinda doesn't have anywhere else to go."

She has strategically not mentioned for a second that this woman has been on the news. That she's the one who hung up their collective boss to dry. Just, it's a friend! He can't refuse ''a friend''--no matter who it was.

And even if he did refuse she'd just sneak her in anyway.

But, her face lit up at his... honestly, kind of unsure? response. It was a yes, at least! And that's all she cared about!

"Thanks, babe! Talk to ya when ya get home!" Pressed into her ear again, ending the call immediately.

"You're good to go, greenie! Normally I'd just let ya stay here, but kinda sharin' a room with my husband an' all. Had 'ta at least ask. You get it, right?

"An' dun't even worry about Hanzi! I can teach ya that blindfolded!" Or, at least get her a class. But hell, she learned it when she was like, in diapers. Surely it couldn't be that hard. Surely.

Girl in the woods?

Her mind immediately went to only girl she’d know who’d willingly spend time in the woods–besides herself and Lyli, of course.

Buuut… fix her shit? Felt like from the outset that she was every bit of a goody-two-shoes that Lyli is. Couldn’t imagine that she’d need to grow like that.

…Then again, Carol admittedly didn’t know how far things went with her being from Brevon’s planet. Maybe in another life, she and Milla were buddies in the Scarves and she was just as bad as Spade or something. Who knows!

Nothing the wildcat particularly cared about, to be fair–sure she was curious, but she didn’t need to know if Milla didn’t wanna say.

Maybe she’d bring it up next time she saw her. Assuming that it was Milla, of course.

Despite Surge’s more emotional side coming out again, the wildcat kept her demeanor all the same. Trying to cheer her up, at least a little bit. “Gotta say, that’s pretty ballsy of ya! Ain’t like Iun’t get it, though. Sometimes a ‘lil change'a scenery’ll do ya good. I mean, it’s done Sony wonders!!!” Could use a couple more friends, though.

“An’ dun’t even worry about payin’ me back–we’re friends! I got'cha no matter what, greenie! Whatever ya need, ya ol’ pal Carol can make it happen!”

She stood up straight and smirked. Then, thought for a moment.

“Actually I wonder if I can even take stuff with me with my gemerald. Might hafta hold on 'ta whatever you’re bringin’ when we do the move–stuff dun’t usually follow me unless I physically got it, y'know?”

Her eyes closed and she couldn’t stop thinking about that little dog in the woods, and the story she told her. She didn’t even know if it was true, but she had never had a choice in who or what she was. For once she felt like she was getting a handle on her fucked up life, getting away from all the things that made her the way she was. No more Sonic to tempt her programming, no more Shadow looming over her or GUN trying to control her. No more Starline looming in the shadows, waiting to get at her. She felt this was the chance she needed, even if it meant leaving everything behind it wasn’t like she was attached to that world. 

She slowly opened her eyes and smiled at Carol though, her smile was tinged with uncertainty as she questioned if she had been to brash. But that was who she was wasn’t it? she trusted her instincts and acted accordingly and this was no different. She needed a change, Kit needed a change and this was her chance and she had to grab it with two hands. 

The only problem were those papers, but surely Kit would have an idea and at the worst she’d have to finally tell Carol, the truth maybe she should just tell her, come clean and get it out in the open. But that thought scared her more then she was ready to admit, she wasn’t ready for that she wanted to keep her secrets. 

“ Uhh… Imma be straight with ya Carol, Kit an i dun own much… we kinda livin’ outta an old Warehouse… its cold as shit in there… it ain’t like i got many life skills ta fall back on ya know? when ya do a background check an it comes up—psyco hero killer… ain’t like many folks will give ya a Job ya know? shit if it wasn’t for Jet i’d be one broke ass Tenrec… speakin’ cash…”

She dug in her pockets and pulled out 3 gold gems and a handful of crystals she swiped from the casino.

“ This what you folks use for money? dunno how much this is… gave most of it to some shmuck on the street… regrettin’ that now. But its a start i guess… doubt shorty will let me back in there to rob his machines blind again plus… i get a feelin’ little miss princess would throw a fit so.. guess i’ll have to find another way to make some cash “ 

“ Also… and this is just between us but… i gotta find some way to get those papers she wants. Whole zones a mess after the outbreak, lots of shit like that was lost… “

Good excuse Surge, its the truth after all

“ Hopin’ Kit has an idea… i’d just get some forgeries but why do i feel like little miss perfection would spot that in a heart beat, plus wasn’t like the Doc kept files on us anyway… maybe i can call that favor in from Blue… he did drop me down a damn hole…” 

Ok she let go but HE didn’t even check on her! the jerk!

“ Mind if i crash here till morning? no point in doin’ much till then i guess…hope i ain’t imposin’ i know i’m askin’ alot from ya… andd shit i need someone to teach me how to read these weird symbols you use to… arrrggg whys everything gotta  be so damn complicated! “
