[ he'll reach to flip it then - might be worth noting here that on the back of his hand is a tattoo of a red eye. hopefully it's a tattoo? it looks a little too smooth to be skin. The card is labeled at the top and bottom, and the drawing on it is a skeletal warrior, piercing a wolf through the throat with a spear. The wolf is biting through the warrior's leg bone, destroying it, as a final act of revenge or a desperate act of starvation.
This one says `Hunger` at the top facing Mizi, and `Sacrifice` at the bottom, upside down. ]
Alright. Hunger. An act of survival. An unfulfilled need. Seems fairly obvious, right? You're here after all-- You have something you desperately need at stake.

[ Mizi's eyes go real big at that wolf drawing. That's scary! But she's the best scary story-teller in Anakt Garden, and true to form, she's a little fascinated.
Hunger isn't wrong, either. Mizi's still smiling. ]
Looks like the cards aren't totally off-base. I do want to win, haha!
[ She says, casually, like a casual. ]
Okay, first compliment. I like your hand tattoo. Very realistic.

[ a couple of his fingers twitch, but he doesn't seem too distressed. glancing down, flipping his hand over where there's another red eye on the palm. ]
Those are the only ones I didn't pick, actually.
[ there's also a snake winding up his arm, in a field of flowers. he's got a lot of tattoos!! ]

[ That afternoon, Mizi goes about her business. Aggressively. She works out. She makes herself a sandwich, and cuts it into little bite sized pieces. She stretches. She does some vocal warm-ups.
Eventually, she runs into Mollymauk, and when she does, she grins. ]
Well! Shoulda seen that one coming, huh!
[ It's funny. You know. Because of the cards. ]

Different from my last show! [ Mizi laughs, but there's no humor in it. It's just something her body is doing. ] Sorry. It's just, it's funny, you know? I got here, and I figured it'd be more of the same - thought you were a segyein, actually, until Caleb said you were from his world - and then I thought -
[ It doesn't matter. She rocks back on her heels and smiles. ]
Oh, well! You're holding up okay?

A what now?
[ he has been assumed to be so many things and this is an exciting new one. but also she's brushing past it, so ... ]
Been better. Been worse too. Not ready to have a breakdown yet. Can't say the same for some of the others. You? Eat anything yet today?

[ Mizi doesn't leave the beach. Instead, she goes to where the sand meets the waves, and sits in the shallow water, party dress and all.
When she hears someone coming, she turns around, but her expression stays fairly blank. ]
You think that was the show they were looking for?

[ squatting down so he's more her height, where she's sitting, and putting a hand on top of her head - gently. he remembers she flinched last time. ]
If you're asking me, nothing embarrassing about caring about these things. It's good, to still care. [ ... ] The dangerous part is when you stop caring.
