[bg=565656] LIKES Laika makes the weirdest of friends and often her crew amigos drinking buddies are the most inept misfits known to mankind. She can get along with the quiet guy hiding in the back of an arcade or the rowdy just-as-feisty-as-herself girl who runs half a mile every morning. She treats every person as an individual and never accepts a blanket view on anyone - she'll get to know what makes her friends unique, and won't throw people out just because they're on the wrong side of a line. She might well deck them first, though! delilah wright (frenemy) x rhode weaver x infinity HATES Likewise, those that grind her gears are just as diverse a group as her most trusted friends. Sometimes it can simply be a judgement call or a tiny element of a personality that puts her off. Lai tends to get defensive, though, so the majority of her enemies or frenemies are a threat to her in some way - be it strength, speed, ability or just a paranoid twitch because all her friends are involved in some way. nyra strasburg (frenemy) x wanted x infinity LOVES Love, does it really exist for her? Actually, despite her tomboyish nature, Lai is no stranger to love and affection. She tends to find romance itself silly and would much prefer to laze on the sofa with a taco, a good video game, a bottle of cider and her victim loved one claimed by putting her toes across their lap. Being a fan of espionage, Laika also has no qualms in ditching the cargo pants for bombshell curls and using her womanly charms to her advantage. Beneficial friends or acquaintances are also not something she is against. crushes x friends with benefits x loves

laika && lilah [ profile ]
okay omg these two. since laika is a fighter and lilah is a champion, i'm thinking they'd at least recognize each other, either from being in the ring or from being brought up in the same place. lilah would probably exploit a familiar face and try to garner sympathy and get laika to supply her with brandy or something, but laika's spunk would also probably make her headaches worse and i can't see them getting along very well. not sober, anyway. lilah's bitterness shows through more when she drinks but she also loosens up a bit and her headaches go away so i can see them getting into drunk shenanigans together but i can also see one of them pissing the other off and casually throwing down in the middle of whatever they're doing. not really friends and not really enemies i guess? either loving each other or hating each other at any given moment but just drinking together regardless?

laika && rhode
i think these two would make interesting friends? even though rhode is a lot younger. i really doubt rhode would believe that laika was twenty-one, since she's so short and small (rhode knows because of where her voice comes from) and i can see them getting in arguments over it and stuff, but idk. despite any evidence laika might be able to provide rhode would probably just be like "DON'T LIE TO ME" and go on thinking she's like twelve and trying to force her to go on adventures and stuff. i don't know that they'd be ~best friends~ or anything or that they'd ever hang out but they could have fun if they just bumped into each other or something and rhode might seek out laika's voice to try to get her to buy her food sometimes because rhode is a big mooch loser.

((hopefully rhode's app will be up by the time you read this dfnandsbfb oops))

I think Laika would kind of respect Delilah for being a champion and yet constantly want to prove herself in competition with her. Like, I imagine Lai would have this kind of inferiority complex that doesn't really spawn from anywhere in particular but it's still the whole "you've achieved what I want to do I MUST PROVE THAT I CAN DO IT TOO" and just like... take every opportunity to be in competition with her? also drunken shenanigans YES I can somehow see these two just completely getting hammered and ranting about things until the cows come home, or taking hazed bets and stuff over the most ridiculous things, if Lilah is the type for it? //response to rhode coming soon too ugh bed

[delilah wright]

laika && lilah
oh man lilah would really appreciate the competition because life on the outside is boring as hell and there's nobody to fight. keeping her competitive would be a good way to make sure she kept coming back. since she tries to keep her water typing a secret she'd probably go all out and try to put an end to physical confrontations pretty quickly but i really doubt she'd turn it down entirely and all other areas are still open season so

and yes omg i can see them just sitting around complaining about stuff for hours. as for bets, hell yes. ties right back into the competitive aspect of things, and it's something interesting to do to pass the time, so all the better. the less sober she is the less likely she is to try to keep up her demure facade; the exception would be doing stuff that makes her look bad. if taking the bet would make her seem more ridiculous than turning it down, she won't do it. lilah is a very proud girl ok, but seeing as she constantly seeks to define herself as a strong capable young woman and turning down bets would make her look like a little bitch she'll probably take them like 90% of the time and won't hesitate to put laika through a few of her own either

when she's sober again though she will vehemently deny that any of it ever happened. i did not do that thing. there were no pleasant chats. i don't know what you're talking about. fuq u laika. fuq u

Like, idk maybe teasing isn't the right word ohohoho but just... if anyone came up to them, they'd just become this double act in order to shoot them down and be all swag before walking off and arguing over who pulled off the more witty remarks and eventually it brewing down into yet another competition/bet?? oh oh and as soon as she figures out that Delilah is pretending to be all demure and classy, Laika would definitely take every opportunity to remind her of all the antics they've got up to (and especially loudly in front of other people).

I could also see her getting annoyed with being picked out of a crowd for her voice (especially when she's on one of her undercover days!) and Rhode accidentally letting the cat out of the bag when she recognises Lai that way. Umm, oh yeah I like the idea of Lai being dragged on adventures! Like, she'd probably try her best to push Rhode away if she's doing something important but I think Lai could use the adventuring kind of as a relief but also to practice her abilities a little bit? And Lai quickly becoming super protective over Rhode as they go on more and more crazy outings around the city, maybe even to the point where she offers for Rhode to live with her.

lilah & laika
dafnsdn,fb yes perfect omg. i can just see both of them drunk and putting on superior airs, some drunk guy with an unwarranted sense of self importance wanders over and they just class the fuck out of him and oh god sassy girl power duo hell yeah. and all of the contests. i can imagine them like at the bar stringing along boys seeing who can give the most ridiculous rejection excuse and still be believed, or who can slip the most subtle insults into a conversation before the guy figures it out and ditches and just. man idek hell yeah

and any attempt to foil her guise would be met with persistent denial, and in front of people, lilah wouldn't hesitate to put her to sleep. "look at her, speaking nonsense and falling asleep, silly girl. drinking will do that to a person~" nbdnbd

rhode & laika
about the blindness thing, she's still really insecure about it, and if the subject is brought up she shoots it down right away. pity drives her off, but if laika thought she was impressive for it and stopped feeling sorry for her, she'd probably warm up pretty quick since most people aren't like that.

the idea of her blowing laika's cover though omg. she's clever and picks up on things easily, so once she takes laika seriously, a quick shush would shut her up pretty quick. maybe they could establish a code word or something, so that if laika spots rhode first she could just slip it into her conversation or use it in a question to a passerby and rhode would be like "oh" and wait around the corner or something.

the protectiveness omg ahh. rhode would probably secretly appreciate it but she'd be too proud to admit it, be all protective back to make it mutual and feel less like she's being coddled. if the offer to move in came up, once again she'd be like "i'll crash for a few days i guess" and just never leave and never bring it up again but like make up for it by trying to do dishes and clean and be less of a headstrong pain in the butt. you took my dumb little idea and made it really sweet omg
