[she takes a handful, and picks at it as she talks. she's very clearly uncomfortable - not emotionally so much, because she trusts anybody in the jailbreaker crew with a lot of stuff she might not normally trust other people with, but physically. she can't sit still, adjusting how she's curled up, stretching her legs out and then pulling them back in.]

Yeah. [...] It's not a power though. Not like they are here. It's just - what I am.

Yeah.

[she has to think about it. and then:]

It's not something that belongs to me, it just... is me. [it's hard to explain.] Like a limb.

[she shifts, rubbing absently at her ribs.]

It - feels like my bones are trying to escape, but I'll deal, it's not like I can do anything else. [...] I've got something that can turn me into someone else for an hour. I just have to figure out who isn't going to be weird about it.

Yeah. [she gestures at herself.] This isn't like... my default form, or whatever, even if this place thinks it is.

[this part she hesitates at, but eventually:] I could be anything, before here.

... I guess I did kinda like this one. [gestures at herself, but.]

Sharks are the most fun. Wolves are the best.

[oh, she is, isn't she. she forgot about that.]

... I guess I could ask her. You think she'd get weird about it?

I don't need her permission. [she makes a face.] I just don't want to hear about it.

Maybe I'll just pick you instead. [this is teasing just a little bit.]

[she grins a bit.]

It wouldn't be a waste! What, do you hate it?

[she gives rita a ??? look...]

You're one of the most interesting people here, what are you talking about?

I don't know, you're smart and you don't take anybody's shit? You're all science-y, too, don't you invent stuff? How is that not cool?

[a little shrug.]

Sure, yeah, but even just copying does the trick. It's not really about the end result, it's the process. You can just say no if you don't want me to.

Neat.

[...] Probably not like, right this second, but when it gets bad.

[... hands her some of the r**ses.]
