Choose Your Own Adventure, Thursday afternoon

"Welcome to Ink & Holes." Yup, another e-mail went out that the class was meeting somewhere outside of the school grounds. "Everybody got those ID's we... ahem? Cool. Look around at the flash. Talk to the tattoo artists. I want you to walk out of here with at least some mehndi, henna or stick-on. Let's see some self-expression here. Or, if you want to pierce yourself, that's cool too." She looked around for Cecil and pointed to him. "Dude, they have animated tattoos!"

Okay, not quite the eldritch kind he was hoping for, but still.

"Look around, knock yourself out, we're getting ice cream afters."

...

Karina stared at her. She wondered if--no, considering the source, it probably was a serious question, not a joke.

"No," she said warily. "Nothing."

"Not even true love? Or to save a life? Or the best fun ever?"

Admittedly, Kenzi could arrange that last one a lot more easily than the first two. But seriously!

"... those are your priorities?" Karina shook her head. "No. Not even. No amount of fun is worth breaking the law."

She wasn't sure she believed in true love and, well, being a Hero meant that she had... options for saving lives.

"Well, yeah. Maybe not entirely in that order." Kenzi cocked her head. "Why, what are yours? I mean, I'd do anything for Bo or Toby. Or Sparkle. Or Cecil, probably, I mean, he is my ex-husband." There were other people on that list too, but those were the first few that came to mind.

"My career is my big one," she said, narrowly resisting the urge to shudder at the fact that, oh god, the teacher had been married to a student, oh god that was so wrong. "And I guess somewhere after that come family and friends."

And her life sort of dribbled down around the bottom of her list. Karina was totally on board with risking her life and limbs for her dream career.

"Oh...kay." Well, OtherKenzi would've done a lot for her dance career? "Somewhere after that? What's your career?"

"Music," she said shortly, bristling at the 'oh... kay' bit.

Karina was terrible at emotional things. Kenzi was lucky she'd even mentioned her family and friends as a priority.

"Singing? Playing? Composing?" Wasn't she a little young? Ah well. "So you'd break a law for music?" Mischief-face was back. "Gotcha."

Yeah, you may regret mentioning that at some point, Karina.

"I'm thinking dance next week, though. Probably." She paused. "Maybe you can be TA next week. Look out for people! Come up with alibis!"
