Description: Cammy versus Kula in a... wait, this just in. *pause* "Burning nuns?!" What the heck? (Winner: Cammy)
There are times that Kula can't help but wonder just /how/ advanced NESTS really is over the modern world. There are some things that NESTS can do that the rest of the world can't, like their advances in genetics, cloning, creating artificial life, and stuff that Kula doesn't see much fun in learning, but the real world, WELL! Video games! Ice cream flavors! Clothing styles! That thing that lights up that Kula doesn't even know what purpose it has but still looks cool! Kula is always amazed by the wonders of the mall every time she goes out to it. And text messaging phones...how did she live without one before now?
It's now that Kula is once again at the mall, checking her phone in case there were any messages she missed between now and ten seconds ago, when she last checked it. The girl ran here all the way from school once it was released, and was still carrying her schoolbag with her. This was with the two bags of things she had already bought while waiting, but it's okay. They're stuff she has to take home for Candy. Candy wanted to do a study on why cotton 'breathes' for some reason. Kula bounces a bit in place, hair tied back in two of those twin ponytails she's seen girls around school wearing, and with one of her medals still attached to her collar. "C'mon...c'mon..." ...maybe Kula polished off the last of her Halloween candy during lunch, if she has that much energy.
If Cammy had to choose... well, she'd probably side with Kula on that particular argument. Yes, genetic research and all that is probably more important in the grand scheme of things, but there was something about... gizmos, neat clothes, books, and other doodads that are just... so... awesome. And thus, Kula had to probably wait a minute or so longer than necessary. Why? Well, on her way to the meeting spot, Cammy had spotted something in the window of one of the shops she had passed, and well... -had- to have it. And so she bought it, spending a extra two minutes waiting in the line to the store. Why wasn't she two minutes late then? Well, because Cammy hustled the rest of the way. And when Cammy wants to hustle, she hustles -fast-.
And so, pigtails bobbing with each rapid step, Cammy makes her way through the crowd of mallgoers, ducking left and right to avoid each of the various mallgoers as she passes them. She was causing a few to leap out of the way, and murmur things about 'Crazy Foreigners', but hey. As long as she was... mostly on time, right? Coming to a stop as soon as she can spot Kula, Cammy pauses, straightens herself up, and checks each part of her clothing with taps of her left hand. Dark blue skirt, that reaches a little above her knee? Check. White blouse? Buttoned and good. Blue jacket, with sleeves rolled up past her elbow? Check. Boots. Tied and good. Beret? Set at a jaunty angle, and ready to go.
With that all done, Cammy puts a smile on her face, and walks up to where Kula was, lifting her left hand to wave it while her right clutches her bag. "Hi! I'm not too late, am I?" she calls out cheerily.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! It's almost two minutes past the time they arranged to meet! Kula feels a tightness in her chest, that maybe she screwed up, or something happened to Cammy, or there was a horrible accident somewhere, and Cammy was saving nuns while she ...was eyeballing that sign down the way that said they had a new ice cream flavor in at the parlor. ...burning nuns... ...Chocolate Chip Cheesecake... ...burning nuns... ...Chocolate Chip Cheeseca-wha? Oh! Cammy!
Kula's face lights up, and she leaps forward to embrace Cammy, like she hadn't seen her in ages. "Cammy! You're okay! I was worried...the fire! And the nuns!" Such an overactive imagination on her. She bounces in place once, and then looks Cammy over. Cammy definately pulls off the schoolgirl 'look' better than Kula does. "I love your hair! And the beret, ooh, I forgot mine today, sorry." Typical schoolgirl babble, right? Perhaps. Kula's shed her own school jacket and has it resting in one of the bags she picked up already, sticking with just the regular white blouse and kneeskirt Candy 'insists' she wear to school. Even if they don't have as strict a uniform policy. "How are you? How've you been?" She's meaning in both the 'day to day' stuff and the 'pound the tar out of anybody' way, though will accept one or the other as her primary line of questioning if it gets her an answer. ...and gives Cammy time to speak up.
"Kula! I... oop!" Cammy calls out happily... at least until she was embraced. Beneath the hug, Cammy's muscular body tenses fairly badly, but she doesn't do anything drastic like push Kula off. Just sorta stand there and endure it. When Kula is all done with her flurry of questions, the NESTS person is greeted with a double-blink from Cammy. A confused double-blink. Lifting her eyes from Kula, Cammy then looks from side to side. "Uhhh... fire?" Cammy says, her voice betraying the confusion she felt inside of her. "Uh... nuns?" she says, glancing over Kula's shoulder to look beyond her to... a regular mall. No fires nor nuns in sight. Huh. "Well! I have been fine." Cammy informs Kula, the girl taking a quick step away to put just a little touch of space between herself and the other girl.
"Um! I've been training a lot lately, fighting a lot lately..." Cammy doesn't quite go into detail on that, or she'd be talking for a while. "...finding out a lot of strange things." Cammy says, absently dipping a hand into the pocket of her jacket, and withdrawing a... shiny gold medal, the Pacific High student lifting that up to affix to the side of her jacket, her eyes remaining upon Kula. And then Cammy smiles once again. "How about you? How have you been, Kula? Besides... firey nuns." Cammy says, her smile slipping already as her brow furrows with confusion.
"Hm? OH, the nuns. Nevermind that. I was afraid you were held up by something." Kula waves her hand dismissively to get that topic dropped, and then listens intently as Cammy describes her week. She nods along with everything, actually storing away the data before her eyes light up at the sight of the medal. "No way, you, too?" Kula reaches up and turns over her blouse's collar, showing the medal pinned there. "Me, too!" Kula bounces again in excitement, quite the opposite of the stoic friend she's made.
"I've been so busy with this silly tournament. I've met a whole bunch of people, too, because of it." She won't go into a lot of details. "...gotten my butt kicked a lot, too," she admits sheepishly. Of course, when you take on the types of people such as Ryu, Saishu, Big, etc... And there was that other fight with that guy with the spooky eye... "I've...hung in there, I guess. I dunno how I'm doing overall." Kula then pauses, a gleam of an idea in her eye. "...hey, remember how we said we'd get ice cream when we got together?" Her grin gets a little bit wider.
"I... er..." Cammy says, lifting up her left hand to scratch her head, her fingers sneaking beneath the beret as she simply watches her... energetic new friend. Cammy wasn't quite sure what to make of Kula just yet, but! Cammy was also not quite sure what to make of people in general, either. Blinking rapidly for a few moments, Cammy then says, "Oh! Yes! I'm a fighter, and I'd like to think I'm a strong one, but..." Cammy says, giving Kula a very wide grin as she drops her hand to give her medal a quick tap. "...I've had my butt kicked in this tournament so far myself." Cammy says. Fighting Ryu and Chun-Li will do that to a girl, but at least she tried?
And to the very last thing Kula said, Cammy was completely positive about that. She gives Kula a firm nod, her smile returning more easily to her lips now that she didn't have to try to make sense of burning nuns, or stuff like that. "I remember. Did you want to do that now, or...?" Cammy says, her grin growing wider as she catches that gleam in Kula's eye. She could guess at what Kula was going to say next.
"Weelllllll...." Kula sways a bit from side to side as she clasps her hands together. She still needs to work on how to 'challenge' people. "Tell you what. Most of the people I've seen in this match are ...well, kinda dumb about fighting. How about we make this fun." She claps her hands again, and stops swaying. "The two of us can do a fight...the winner gets a medal, but has to buy the loser ice cream!" It's the greatest idea Kula's ever had. ...well, that and installing a FroYo dispenser in Candy's back, but Candy shot that project down before Kula could even find a 'metalworking for dummies' book.
Kula glances around...and sure enough, an area has already been cleared by the Kanzuki Corp Ninja TV Crew of people, and Kula's bags are already stored somewhere safe. "...over there, I guess?"
How -did- those Kanzuki people -do- that? Glancing to the left, then to the right, Cammy then turns her gaze upon Kula, and gives her a toothy grin. "That sounds as good a reason to spar as any to me." Cammy says, the girl whipping up her hand to toss her goody-carrying bag to the side of the area, Cammy then turning away from Kula to walk to the cleared area herself. But as she steps in that direction, her hands go up to the buttons on her blouse, her fingers nimbly undoing each one.
Much to the chagrin of certain viewers, when Cammy's blouse is undone, beneath it is the thick, dark blue material of her usual swimsuit-like uniform that she was quickly becoming known for. The blouse was completely undone by the time Cammy reaches where she had tossed her back, the girl shrugging the blouse and her jacket off to set atop the bag. The skirt soon follows, Cammy stepping out of that to set atop the bag as well. Alright. Good to go.
"So..." Cammy says, using a hand to brush her pigtails over her shoulder, before interlacing her fingers together, and stretching her arms out in front of herself. "...why don't you get us started?" Cammy asks.

Kula heads to her own area, and glancing at Cammy, starts to imitate her. The first two buttons of her blouse come undone...and then she realizes she /wasn't/ wearing her fighting outfit underneath it. ...that's hard to do when you normally fight wearing a full-body leather costume. Mental note, Kula, look into fighting in a swimsuit like Cammy. ...though, she'd be pretty cold in it. Instead of giving people as much of a show as Cammy just did, Kula instead focuses on her usual fight prepwork. Namely, the dip in temperature and her hair turning blue that people are so used to seeing from her. Making sure her shoes aren't going to fly off in the fight, Kula adjusts her gloves once more, and then smiles at Cammy. "...just to make it clear, nothing more than a waffle cone and two scoops." She grins. "I don't want to have to spend too much on you, if you like ice cream like I do."
Having said more before a fight than Kula /ever/ has before, she takes off toward Cammy, skating directly at her. She spins once and lifts up a leg like she's about to kick at Cammy, and then suddenly leans and falls, landing on the ice trail she's left behind and kicks at Cammy's ankles, trying to knock her down.

It wasn't meant to be a sho... ah, well! Cammy did fine in her swimsuit. She needed it, after all. Let her Legs of Steel move more freely. Cammy had seen Kula's usual fight prep thing before... but that never stopped it from being interesting to see; she would have to ask Kula just how she did that sometime. To the condition, Cammy grins widely, and nods her head, the girl clenching her hands into tight fists and lifting them in front of herself, her entire body tensing as she prepares herself... and... she didn't have to wait long, it seems. Cammy's grin fades into a look of concentration as Kula skates towards her, Cammy ducking her torso somewhat... and at the feint, Cammy leans back a bit, realizing her mistake right in the nick of time. Before Kula's kick can connect, Cammy leans further back, and hops up off of the floor so that Kula's kick misses, the Killer Bee throwing herself backwards over it.
To catch herself on her hands. With a quick indrawn breath, and a cry of "Hup!", Cammy pushes herself up off of the ground. While she is in the air, Cammy twists around, positioning herself so that when she lands... it would hopefully be on Kula's shoulders. Assuming Cammy got that far, the once-Doll would cross her arms over her shoulders, clutch Kula's neck between her legs, and then fling herself backwards, hopefully yanking Kula up off of the ground, taking her through the air to bash the top of her head against the mall floor below.

Kula still remembers back when Cammy wasn't so...friendly. She did the same move then, too. And it hurt. Kula immediately rolls to the side when Cammy jumps back up, and pushes herself up with one hand, twirling on the ice like a ballerina. She raises her fists, and goes for a quick one-two jab on Cammy, grinning widely the whole while. She's starting to understand why people sometimes find fights fun. "Coming atcha!" ...she never used to talk this much during a fight, either.

Kula 0/-------/------=|==-----\-------\0 Cammy
Cammy didn't quite remember that portion of her life... but she did remember her first fight (in her memory!) with Kula. Cammy was clumsy, sorta clueless when it came to fighting... well, Cammy (at least) was glad that that changed a bit! No sooner did Cammy rise up from the ground, did she sense the incoming blow. Not see with her eyes, but sense. And like any girl that's far stronger than they ought to be, and far too confident in their fighting ability, Cammy didn't bother to make sure, instead, she leans herself forward in preparation for a forward flip. Kula liked to kick, so she was doing another sweep ki--... POW!
That was the problem with assuming things. Leaning forward like she was just made that one-two punch all the more... painful. What made things worse was Cammy's reaction. Yanking her head back so quick that her pigtails fly over her shoulders towards Kula, Cammy slips on a bit of ice that was likely left on the floor, her hands flying up to her face to cover it... moments before the back of her head hits the ground with a loud *CRACK*. Don't worry! Cammy's skull didn't crack open. That was the floor. Maybe.
"Ow... nice punch!" Cammy says, her head swimming with the aftereffects of its meeting with the floor. Instead of getting up, Cammy wastes no time in rolling unto her side, and swinging one of those legs of hers in a powerful kick aimed at Kula's shins.

"Oopsies." Kula pauses and just stands there after the second punch lands, and flinches when she sees Cammy fall. Perhaps the one weakness she'll never be able to overcome is that she just...doesn't want to see her friends get hurt. Kula skates slowly around, and even starts to offer a hand to Cammy, and therein lies her mistake. She's not able to lean up quick enough when Cammy kicks her ankles, and Kula also slips to land in a heap on the ground. Check it out, viewers, pantyshot! ...if only Kula was eye-candy, it would mean something. "...ow. Nice kick." Kula rolls over and pushes herself up, and smiles again. As she charges forward, drawing a hand back, she idly asks, "How /do/ you fight in a swimsuit? I'd be too embarassed." With that, her hand juts out, a spray of ice coming out of it as a blunt 'lance' emerges and strikes at Cammy's stomach.

Cammy had no such qualms. When Cammy fought, she tended to fight all out... unless she was feeling guilty, pitying the person, or just off-balance. And Kula, (or so Cammy presumed) was able to keep up with her, so! "Embarrassed?" Cammy asks, the dizziness from her earlier encounter with the floor mostly passed, as she rises up to her feet. Cammy had very little idea what to expect from Kula... and believe you me, a lance of ice shooting out from the floor was not one of those things Cammy was expecting. Still, as soon as the lance explodes out from the ground, Cammy explodes backwards in a sudden leap that takes her out of the range of the ice.
And Cammy lands lightly upon her feet. "Embarrassed of what?" Cammy asks, bringing her fists up again as she begins to tense up like a slowly coiling spring, her eyes on her opponent.

Kula shifts a bit as she moves back into her fighting stance, and then pauses. "Well, you know...it...shows a lot of skin. Like, your hips. And it's...tight." Kula shifts a bit, and the real reason comes out. "...and I'd look awful in it." Kula exhales, and then seems to be more willing to focus on the fight than her own lack of fanclub hanging posters of her on their walls, by bracing a foot down, and then raising it, a small mound of ice growing underneath her sole as it rises up. Or perhaps the mound is pushing her foot up, either way. Kula lifts her foot suddenly, and the mound lifts with it, and she kicks it into the air before hopping slightly to the side and kicking it, soccer-style at Cammy. Incoming!

"I... umm..." Cammy says, her focus dropping for a moment as she casts a brief, self-concious look down at herself. Cammy brings her eyes back up at that last reason, and she frowns for a moment. "Well! Different people look good in different things..." Cammy calls out, but quiets down and focuses again as Kula rises into the air. Cammy wasn't one that really enjoyed wearing the most fashionable clothes, she just wore whatever... she felt was good at the moment! And the swimsuit wasn't really a fashion statement, more something she wore because... er... she needed to move! And she needed to move right now because that was a large chunk of...
Cammy twitches to one side, but she had waited a moment too long. The large hunk of ice slams into her and shatters, knocking her back and unto the ground as Cammy releases a cry of pain. Big chunks of ice tended to hurt like that. But Cammy wasn't one to stay down. Lifting up her legs before kipuping to her feet, Cammy pauses for a moment, before beginning to sprint towards Kula, as fast as her legs could carry her. Upon reaching a certain distance to her opponent, Cammy bends down for a mere moment, before shooting up once again, inverting herself in a flash, and leading her ascent with her right foot. The right foot that she was hoping to hit Kula's head with.
And the right foot that was blazing with blue energy. "CANNON SPIKE!"

[OOC] Kula says, "That was my best chance. With a /30/."
Kula's foot lands, and for a second, she feels bad again. She seems to be distracting Cammy this whole fight. And keeping herself distracted a bit as well. At least, that's how it seems, before Kula smiles just before the blow connects. When it does, Kula's head snaps back, and she lifts off the ground, twisting like a rag doll before landing hard on the concrete. What was that Karin said to her earlier? 'Make sure it's a good show.' She's doing her best. Kula's body immediately creates ice under her, allowing her to slide and turn around in a slow circle from her own momentum. Then Kula's planting her hands down on the ground and smiling, taking a stance like a marathon runner. This trick worked well earlier...may as well see how it does now.
Kula's hair seems to completely crystalize like a helmet, and the bands holding it in place snap. The temperature round her drops, and it seems like her whole body is starting to freeze over. ...no, it's no illusion. She's fully encasing herself in ice. Kula pushes forward and skates before she freezes over completely, like a giant ice cube, barreling towards Cammy. ...that's /got/ to be cold. However, when she gets close, the ice around her shatters as Kula suddenly pulls herself into a ball, causing the multitude of ice shards and chunks to keep going towards Cammy, a hail of...well, hail-like objects, to be exact.

[OOC] Kula power-hit Karin with that earlier today. c_c
Landing from her strike in a deep crouch, one that Cammy slowly begins to rise from, Cammy takes note of the smile upon Kula's face, and feels a little relieved, a small smile of her own springing up unto her lips. At least they were both having fun with this, right? Right? Right. Well. When Kula fully encases herself in ice like that, that's enough to cause Cammy a moment of pause. And as Kula barrels towards her, Cammy takes a step back... just to see Kula... explode into ice or something. Whoa.
Cammy freezes as the shards head towards her, her mind thinking of a way out of this hailstorm... and Cammy, unfortunately... sees none. Except one. A split-second before the ice shards strike her, Cammy throws herself down unto her front. That idea... while stopping her from being struck by every bit of ice, didn't prevent a few stray shards from digging and slamming into her back, the once-Doll wincing as she twitches there on the ground. And for a long moment after the ice storm ends, Cammy waits.
Springing up into her feet suddenly, Cammy flips away from Kula to land... right next to one of those little benches in malls. Another of the bad habits Cammy had in fights was property damage. Whirling around in one full turn, Cammy snaps out her foot to impact the back of the bench, to tear it from it's supports and send it sailing Kula's way.

What's that phrase Candy once uttered in an attempt to be 'hip'? Oh, right.
"Oh, SNAP!" Kula barely dives out of the way of the bench, hearing it crash behind her. She rolls just to make sure there's no trash cans or, uh, parking meters or shrubbery being kicked her way. She pushes herself up, and looks back at the damage the bench made, and then looks back at Cammy. "...see, I can't do that. My thighs are scrawny." She's wearing a skirt, folks, just look. She's right. Kula starts skating forward, a bit nervous now that furniture's been hucked at her, and then leans over and grabs hold of...a very large umbrella. Sure, before, it was being used to shelter a table, but now Kula has it, and is snapping it closed. She skates back, and starts to spin, holding onto the base as she picks up speed. Yes, it looks awkward, and hope you don't try and jump in before she lets go.
And let go, she does, at just the right moment to launch the missile towards Cammy. Two can play that game! "Service!" ...yeah, they're doing volleyball now in P.E.

Now, Cammy was not one prone to blush often. Still, in this case... she was blushing. Embarrassed blushing. "I... my... thighs." she manages to stammer, but she can't stay nervous and self-concious for long... there was like a umbrella thrown at her. And so Cammy hisses, the once-Doll squaring her stance, and extending her hands to.. you guessed it. Catch the umbrella. And catch it she does. Fingers curling around the edges of the umbrella, the thing nonetheless had enough velocity to keep going in spite of Cammy catching it around the edges... enough for the amusing little top to jab into her, right in her sternum. And that was enough to make Cammy's expression harden a bit, her right eye twitching as she throws that umbrella to the side, where it sorta rolls about.
"Alright." Cammy says more to herself. But instead of advancing on Kula... Cammy instead chooses to stare intently at the other girl, beginning to murmur things beneath her breath as she calculates something. She normally could calculate in a flash, but this time... she wanted to get things /perfect/.

Kula is also blushing, not /as/ embarassed as Cammy, but just...embarassed in general. If NESTS ever found out about Cammy's background, there might be some questions raised about their final result on their little 'doll'. Kula however, fortunately, is completely unaware as she bites her lip. The girl takes a deep breath, and then charges forward, one arm in front of her, one behind her back like a speed skater. The girl goes straight at Cammy...
And then suddenly shifts her weight to jump onto a brick planter that goes near her, sliding along the edge like someone from Tony Hawk. Extreme! Her arm around her back comes around, holding the napkin dispenser from the table. She spins it on a finger once, and then chucks it at Cammy, smiling. Psyche!

Now, that was a pretty darn awesome move on Kula's part. It might've been the single spin on the finger that gave Cammy enough time to react, but with the way Cammy was acting at the moment... that may not be the case. When the napkin dispenser flies at her, Cammy seemingly stays put, except at the very last second she could... she ducks down and to the side, the napkin dispenser flying safely over Cammy's shoulder. Without looking back up, Cammy leaps up from the ground, and performs a twist as she spins around in the air once, the twist placing the bottoms of her feet near a nearby pillar, as her murmurings stop. Lifting up her eyes to Kula at the very apex of her jump, Cammy hangs in the air a moment... and at the instant gravity started pulling her earthward again...
Cammy kicks out her legs towards the pillar, a shudder running through the building as that double kick propels her towards her opponent, Cammy screaming, "LOCK ON!!" at near the top of her lungs. Her legs begin to blaze with bluish energy as she streaks down towards Kula, the girl repositioning herself into a flying kick... one aimed for Kula's shins. Should that strike strike, the follow-up strikes would only be a moment in coming. Cammy lifting up her leg, and bringing it down in a axe kick upon Kula's shoulder, a straight kick to the belly... then Cammy dashing behind Kula, and spinning around in the air to deliver a final energy-laced kick to Kula's back. That is.. if the first strike struck.

Kula 1/-------/=======|-------\-------\0 Cammy
Kula hops off the end of the planter, and turns back to face Cammy. ...that's funny, where'd she g-oh, up there in the sky. ...oh dear. Kula's quick to kick down, causing a barrier of ice to form to protect her shins. Unfortunately, that's where she stops, ready to kick that shield up at Cammy when the kick to her shoulder drops Kula to her knees with a hiss of breath from her, and the kick to her stomach makes her double over. Kula looks like she's in enough pain already...when the final kick comes down and knocks Kula flat onto the ground with a crack. That...probably wasn't the ground that time.
Kula lies still for a minute, and then slowly moves, lifting up an arm to put her palm on the ground. "That..." Kula pushes herself over on her back, and reaches up to touch the blood on her face, near her hairline. It's already crystalizing. "That was..." Painful? Intense? Sure to please crowds around the world? Kula's grin appears again even as she slowly gets up. She dusts herself off, completed with skinned knees and a torn sleeve on her blouse. There's a bit of wobbling, but she catches herself. "...see? Thighs." Kula shakes her head, and backs up a few steps, reassuming her fight stance. "...but, I'm not done yet!" ...whoa, dizzy spell. Okay, she's better.
Erm... maybe she overdid things. Just a little bit. Twitching around towards Kula, Cammy lifts her fists up to where she normally holds them, in a ready sort of stance. And then she -has- to go and mention the thighs again. There was a small return of the embarrassed blush, but Cammy was more concerned at this point; but again, Kula's grin puts her at ease. And when Kula decides to get back up again, Cammy can't help the wide smile that springs up unto her lips. "You're doing -excellently-, Kula." Cammy says, "...get ready, though!"
And with that warning, Cammy was off towards Kula again. There was a bit of guilt fluttering around in her heart as she snatches out a hand for Kula's shoulder, hoping to take a hold of her there, but... it would've been worse to go easy on Kula, right? Ryu said something like that once. If Cammy should grab a hold of Kula's shoulder, Cammy would yank the other girl towards herself, sweeping out her legs as she does so in a attempt to spill Kula to the ground.

It probably would be worse for Kula if Cammy held back. Cause somehow, she'd know it. The girl tries to step back, but in her weakened state, it's really not much of an issue for Cammy to grab her and slam her back down. And...Kula seems content to lie there for now, closing her eyes. The observant, though, might notice that sudden dip in temperature that signals something's up. Kula's mouth opens for a second, and the words, "I want...chocolate chip cheesecake...in a cone..." come from them. And that's when the ground shakes and several columns of ice all erupt out of the ground under Cammy. Though...they never discussed what would happen in a tie situation. ...they each buy each other's ice cream?

That would've been neat, if it ended in a tie. Cammy lingers long enough to hear Kula's... last words (sorta), and as soon as she hears the word 'cone', Cammy bends her knees, then launches herself upwards in a mighty leap, the pillars of ice almost catching her. And when Cammy lands on her feet a little ways away from Kula, the girl smiles over at the fallen Kula, giving her a firm nod. "With sprinkles and a cherry on top, if you want them." Cammy says quietly... she didn't quite think Kula was in any condition to respond, at the moment.
