[ All three of them can be on fire while Nightmare reigns the earth. It's kind of hard to see what's going on with Maverick bent over his arm, and he can do this for about a minute or two before he gets fidgety again. ]

...Gimme a marker, I want to draw too.

Ha! You're such a fucking kid. [But whatever, whatever. He does have a sharpie, so he can give Kano that one while he keeps using the one Kano lent him.] Here. But don't move this arm so much, I'm working here.

[ He's allowed to be a kid because he's a kid, taking the Sharpie going ahead and drawing on the back of his hand, because he can't draw on Maverick without messing him up so this is the only canvas available. Just sort of embellishing what's already there, along his fingers (squiggles, reminiscent of the snake on his placard in the dorm) and around the palm too (it's supposed to be a rhino, but does not look like a rhino), everything a mess of gradient rainbow ink because he can make it look what he wants. ]

[Satisfied he's made a solid start, Mav blows onto the ink to dry the latest bit, then looks over to see what Kano's come up with. His giggle isn't as powerful as it might have been some other day, but at least it's there.]

You look like you slapped the ass of a shitting unicorn. What is that even supposed to be?

[ Kano almost pulls away at the sensation of cold air hitting his arm, but the moment he's let go, he shakes both arms in the air to dry them out before shoving his hand proudly at Maverick's face. ]

It's the excrement of a shitting unicorn! I'm glad you're able to tell!

[ Both arms out, he gets to admire them side by side. ]

...I am never taking a shower ever again.

Very impressive.

[Dumbass. Mav admires all of their work, too, propping his chin up on his hand, but scoffs at the declaration.]

Yeah right. I'll fade this shit out so you got nothing to preserve, then dunk you in a laundry machine. If you wanna keep it, you should talk to Witch.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, no way!!!

[ Quickly, Kano rolls down his sleeves, never minding if the ink is still a little damp and will probably smudge, he's got to hide and protect this art from Maverick before he fades it away. ]

You can't fade what you can't see!! [ ...yes he can, Kano's the one who kept trying to get him to change colors of things without looking. ]

-—You said you can only do words!! These aren't words, they're pictures!!!

[He just has the smuggest fucking smile, right now...]

Oh, how quickly you forget... I have all the power over you I need. It could even be gone now. What do you say, Cricket? Gonna take a fucking peek, make sure that it's still fucking there?

[ Kano leaps out of his seat, grows out his hair, and announces loudly to the entire plane. ]

I NEED TO GO PEE, SO DON'T FOLLOW ME!!

[ Gonna hide in the bathroom and peek ]

[WHY IS HE SO DUMB...also thanks, because now there's at least one person looking at him and very obviously expecting him to get up and join his girlfriend to apply for the mile high club. Just gonna...sink way down in his seat again... Think about all the terrible things that have happened, instead of clinging to the silly nonsense a second ago.

All of Mav's work is still there, but he hasn't left it completely unchanged. The eyes on his Nightmare drawing are now gold instead. They'd be red, but...problems...]

[ Kano is never not dumb, and he climbs up to sit on the sink counter before rolling his sleeves back up. It's just a little smudged, but nothing a quick illusion can't fix up. Kicking his feet, he snaps a picture of his arms with his phone, and then sends a quick text to Maverick-- ]

Now make it sparkle!!!!!!

[As much as he would like to be cheeky and make the picture itself sparkle and send that back...it's a step too removed from ink and writing to work. So instead, everyone in the drawings get a metallic sheen except for the doodled Maverick.]

[ Hmmmmmm... Kano can fix that up, giving the Maverick drawing a metallic sheen too, taking a picture of that and forwarding it to Maverick's phone. ]

Look, look, you did it~
Wow!!
Impressive!!!!
Good job!!!!!!
You really worked hard~
No more doubting yourself, Mav!

[ughhhh he hates that he sort of really...likes the idea of being praised like this...good thing he has that terrible self esteem so he can doubt whether or not he did anything at all. He'd left himself out of the shine just for kicks, but...there he was...shiny. Was Kano just humoring him with an illusion?

...In the end, he decides to not respond.]

[ That's fine; Kano can hold a conversation all by himself. The texts don't stop, coming in one line at a time ]

See, it's just like I said~
It can super cute and badass too!!
I bet anybody would get scared and walk away if they saw this~
And if that's not badass I dunno what is!!
Especially when it's shiny and catches the eye!!
Do you know what happens to airplane toilet water when you flush?

holding tank?

That is both boring and gross.
How much water do you think there is?
How many times can I flush before the holding tank water recycles back around?

that's life

pretty sure it doesn't work that way

Boooooooooo
Don't say that!!!!
Life isn't boring and gross~
It's just sort of gross LOL
The number is more than 19, btw!!!

isn't it super fucking loud?

Yeah, it goes
FWOOOOOOOOSSHH!!!!!!
Come here and see, I'll let you in!

and have people think we're fucking? no thanks

LOL Who cares what they think?
Never going to see them again~

it's still weird

[Though part of it for him is that he's had to readjust his brain to consider how people will view Akechi, if they think he's with someone like him. It hasn't been the most helpful thing for his self esteem, actually.]

ordering shit what you want besides cheese crackers and coffee

You promised me cheap candy!!

[ that's for Ellie. So is the cheese and crackers. Kano gets the coffee. ]
