“You’re leaving your left side completely open,” Ramona called out from the sidelines. “That third dummy is gonna sweep in and stab you in the ribs. Punctured lung, boom, you’re dead.” Ramona clapped for effect then shrugged nonchalantly. “Shame.”

self-para // consolation prizes

DATE: Saturday, May 16, 2020 CHARACTERS: Casey and Ramona ABOUT: Casey gives Ramona a prize. Ramona gives Casey one in return.

“What is this?” Ramona asked skeptically as Casey handed her the doll.

“It opens,” he explained.

Ramona pried the doll apart, ripping its bright torso off its base. “You’re giving me drugs?”

“Yeah, it’s what the first, second, and third place winners got.”

“They got drugs?”

“Yes,” Casey repeated slowly. “Am I... Not being clear?”

Ramona rolled her eyes. “Okay. Well... Thanks.”

“Mhm!” Casey agreed. “Glad to see your burns are better, by the way.”

Ramona held out her arms. “Yeah. That healer was incredible.” Where Blue had scalded her with the shield, Ramona now only had faint markings and subtle scars. If somebody hadn’t known what had happened during Fight Night, they might have never noticed that anything was wrong with Ramona’s arms. “My legs have more scarring, but—” Ramona shrugged. “Comes with the business.”

“I feel that.” Casey nodded and smiled. “I’m a boxer. I’ve been... Pretty fucked up.”

“Why didn’t you participate in Fight Night?”

Casey shrugged. “Akira and I thought it would be a conflict of interest. Like it would be unfair because I helped plan it, so I’d know what would happen, you know?”

“Shame,” Ramona lamented. “I’d be curious seeing how your refraction powers fair in combat.”

Casey arched a brow. “Refraction powers?”

“That’s what you do, right? Light refraction?”

“Oh no, that’s my sister,” Casey clarified. “That was Lulu. She’s the one with the cool light powers.”

“No, your sister has photokinesis,” Ramona objected. “That’s different. You have refraction powers. That’s like bending light that’s already there.”

Casey stared blankly at Ramona. “No, I have super speed. Or super speedy reaction times, whatever.”

“Wow.” Ramona smiled. “Do you really not know?”

“Not know what?”

“I swear,” she huffed, shaking her head. “You New Athens people truly know nothing about your own capabilities.”

“Wait, no, say more!” Casey protested.

“You’ll figure it out,” Ramona called out, pocketing her doll of drugs and turning to leave.

“No!” Casey called out after her. “I need to know now! Give me the instant gratification!” But Casey watched as Ramona continued away, leaving him alone with only questions.
