THEN AGAIN .... this is johnny , and he'd find a way to flip this around on me and make ME .....

        ❛❛   Alright,   that's it,   where's that spray bottle at               ❜❜

[cagcd]

but wait there's more imagine Mileena and Johnny just snarking the fuck out of each other and someone interjects thinking they're about to brawl or smth and they both just look at person C like whom the fuck invited you, you're not part of this, GTFO

OH OH THAT'S JUST CANON FOR THEM

Johnny being the remorseless idiot he is just pulls up a chair next to her during a banquet " hello your royal gremlin-ness are those knives especially sharp because your happy to see me? " *wink wink wink*

She makes a threat to actually stab him but she smacks him instead, he smacks her arm, someone jumps in to stop them and they stop mid fighting, her hand pushing at his cheek, his on both her arms, both looking incredulously like what are YOU looking at?

It's so beautiful I might just cry ...

@xmaneater asks ' ❝ you say all the right words, but i’m not sure you mean the right things.❞ '

Kitana could not begrudge Mileena her suspicions. Sitting atop the throne as Empress of Outworld was a dangerous proposition even without Shang Tsung's freshest treachery so fresh upon them all. While her sister had successfully weathered that storm, the margin between victory and defeat had been a thin one indeed. Being suspicious of all who surrounded her was a survival instinct that Kitana knew Mileena needed for the moment, and it was likely not going to abate until her position was more secure.

No, Kitana did not begrudge her sister her suspicions... but their presence cut her all the same.

"If you can't find truth in my words..."

Royal brow furrowed faintly as Kitana sought the right words--not just to put her sister's mind at ease, but to reaffirm her support. While she would be lying if she said she did not wish to sit atop the throne someday, some things meant more than her own glory. Things like peace, like the good that Mileena was in a prime position to do that Kitana herself could not.

...like Mileena herself, no matter what may have happened in other timelines.

A deep breath, a purposeful shove of that hurt to the side and Kitana settled a hand on Mileena's shoulder, hoping that the touch would bring the other's gaze to meet her own.

"Then let my actions be the proof you need. There are still loyalists to General Shao remaining in our ranks. Let me find them and purge them from our presence."

     It all felt like some wild fever dream,   a product of a wild imagination,   a fantasy movie that came to life.   He's sure to wake up in any moment now,   to be laying somewhere in his mansion with an empty bottle at hand,   that's how his night should have gone,   considering how raw the seperation with what is now his ex was.   Only to have his need for solitude be stolen by some bold visitors,   one of them claiming he was one of the few chosen for a fight that determined the very earth's destiny   ...   no pressure at all.   Nevertheless,   it was a good distraction,   a much needed one as well,   a way of regeneration that didn't include late outings and empty glasses.   There was a challenge to it,   the need to prove oneself in skill instead of false smiles and fancy lines,   [   although neither hadn't been lacking from his attitude   ].   He had forgotten how much he enjoyed it,   practicing on days end for the sake of self betterment   &.   witnessing the result of his hard work first hand,   but to say this was all reminiscent to the championships he participated in his world would be a comparison so out of place.   Outworld was far too different from Earthrealm,   with a mix of cultures and species his short attention span failed to help him memorize in full,   the traditions,   clothes and even food,   it all had the ability to fascinate and throw him off all at the same instance.   He would like to believe he had his reactions in control,   and indeed he had managed some sort of discipline even Liu Kang himself didn't believe he was capable of.   [   minus the relentless flirting   ].   However,   it was all a matter of time until the influx of too many information at once had gotten the better of him,   he stood there for a long minute feeling rather lost.

     ❛  you're completely out of your element here, aren't you?  ❜

     The princess caught him after an embarrassing encounter with an Ednian tradeswoman who found his antics nothing short of obnoxious,   when most in Earthrealm would call him charming.   But how did he end up in this situation he'd rather not say.        ❛❛   Out of my element !   ❜❜        he echoed with a scoff,   a bit of a sour loser to admit defeat of any sort.   But Mileena was right,   she hit the nail on the head and if there's anything Johnny cage hated was not knowing what to do or how to act.        ❛❛   If anyone can adapt,   it's the guy you're looking at.   Yeah,   they call me the master of elements back in Earthrealm.   ❜❜       he brags,   a confidant laugh to complement an act of full bravado   ...   only to lean back against what he thought was a wall and slips back into a curtain.        ❛❛   ...   I meant to do that               ❜❜

@xmaneater // help him ...

@xmaneater liked this for a short starter!

"You wished to see me, Empress?" Hints of concern speckled the Zaterran's face as he politely knelt before her. Curiosity can only pinpoint what could possibly be the reason to be called at this late hour.
