[ Sharon has a favor she wants to ask but it's not one she's willing to ask for over the network. Hell, it took a lot for her to work up the guts to even bother. ]
( Who bothers to ask for a time, really, when they can so easily just... do so now? It's not like schedules are a thing, here. And, honestly, Kate hasn't been to Delight's temple, or even near it, since her death.
It's a strange place to return to after all that time, decrepit and sad, another piece of rubble in the city. Kate takes a breath as she approaches, pushing back the memories of how Delight's death went down, how she and Rage affected the city in favour of the present.
[ Sharon never cared much for Delight beyond her bar and had never bothered to visit this particular god's temple. To see it now, the only real sadness she feels is hollow; a sign that things may fall apart, though she'll swear that's what she wants. She just doesn't want the Null to do it (keep telling yourself that, Sharon).
As she approaches, she raises a single hand in a halfhearted wave. It's been a while. It usually always is where Sharon is involved.
She hesitates but then powers through the question. ] Do you still do that shit with people's powers? Like how you helped me back then. [ She frowns a moment, realizing how it may sound. She doesn't want Kate to get the wrong impression. ] I... I just want to be able to better protect myself if things ever go really south.
( At least Delight was fun, and it was easy to want to make deals with her. But there's no point thinking about her now. They can't get her back, and would anyone even want to?
Kate returns the wave and blinks at the question, bites her tongue against the immediate associations and rolls her shoulders in a shrug. ) It's different, but aye.
( No more having to create enchantments to do so, it's kind of a blessing in this city, where everyone's powers differs so wildly from anything she's known back home. )
She won't hold it against Kate if she denies her, not entirely, and a part of her doubts if it will even matter in the end, but she's not willing to just... give up. Yet ]
( Just in general, or is there a greater plan at work here? And if so, is Kate willing to go with it? Because she can't forget what they did last time, or ignore the caution she feels about entering into a deal like this without some legitimate explanation and reasoning. )
I'm fucking shit at fighting, Kate. [ Bluntly. It's not hard to see why, though. Sharon has always been on the thin side and the last several months have taken their toll. She doesn't even bother to drink any more. She's tired of this place; she's let it beat her down but she's not ready to just die yet. ] Sure, I can dodge a punch or two and maybe I can land one but my real only skills lie in my fucked up powers.
I promise this isn't about turning the world into a hellhole. [ She wants to, oh, she wants to. ] I'm a damn good pyrokinetic, though. You know, turn people to ash, melt down metals. It... it takes a lot, though, physically, emotionally, and then things tend to... get out of control.
I need... [ She licks her lips. Fuck. She hates asking for help, especially from someone she'd dragged into a shitshow. ] I need help focusing it.
( Honestly, Kate hasn't entirely ruled out a return to what they first did to this city. Not because of the gods, but for the same reason Fear let it loose during the last invasion — in case they're overrun.
But there's no denying she feels the tension leave her shoulders to know that wasn't plan A. Pyrokinesis? She can work with that. )
Sure. ( Lips purse and there's a moment's silence before Kate's eyes slide shut and open again in bright, glowing white. That's so much easier than constantly enchanting sunglasses to let her see. So, what is she working with, in terms of quality? ) Let's see what we can do.
