Two Truths and a Lie: River will eat anything that isn't tied down and uncooked. River loves to travel by boat. River's favorite color is brown.

Oh hell, which was the right answer here? Khare pursed her lips as she pondered River's question. It was the first time in a while that she'd seen the other woman come back to the diner which was nice, Khare was glad to see her again but she couldn't quite put a finger on what felt off. River seemed to be well fortunately, other than... was that a limp? No, River seemed fine, and there was a bit of a lull right now in the flow of customers so it was nice to catch up, even play a game or two. Khare realized at this moment she didn't know diddly squat about River and the more time that passed, the more it became apparent. Still, that didn't mean she didn't want to try and River had always been kind to her even if maybe gave her a bit of a side eye when being seated. Did River like to travel by boat? It would be punny if she did, being named River and all but Khare didn't think that was the right answer. One time they met outside the diner, it was by Gotham Bay and River looked positively antsy. It wasn't so bad once you got past the smell, but maybe she liked bodies of water elsewhere? "I'm going with that you're not a fan of travelling on boats. That's not to say you eat like a dumpster though," Khare added quickly when she remembered the first of the three statements. Would she really eat anything that wasn't tied down and uncooked? She did look like she worked out... a lot, so Khare brightened, raising a finger knowingly. "But I understand! you must work out a lot to keep such a great figure, so that means... brown's your favourite colour? Funny, I could have sworn it was red..." She didn't know why she thought that, it just didn't seem like brown was a favourite colour of many people. Maybe back in the 70's perhaps, but River was her age or younger... wasn't she? Jerry's voice hollered from the kitchens stating River's breakfast was ready to collect so Khare jumped up to grab it, setting the still-sizzling plate of delicious meat before her customer. Something tasty that was most certainly cooked, as it should be.

Two truth and a lie: I've eaten heart before, I can do a handstand, my talons will bleed if they're clipped too short.

Send me two truths and a lie about your muse, and I’ll guess which is which!

The scent of sizzling meat is strong in the air as Khare sets down a plate of steak before Senja. The outside of it has an excellent sear, both sides whacked down on a hot grill for just a few moments before being flipped so that the inside remained tender and rare to the point that it's still legally blue. Sen deserve ten dozen steaks for all the help she'd given the waitress back before she'd even arrived in Gotham but making sure she got the most delicious steak on the house was a good start. "Two truths and one lie... okay, give me a moment to think." Khare hummed as she sat back to watch Sen dig into her meal. A rich and vibrant red was revealed as the harpy sliced into her meal, the meat so tender she barely had to try cutting it with her knife and fork. It smelt amazing, Khare's thoughts drifting back to campfires in autumn and of the meals they'd once shared way before either of them ever stepped into Gotham. She was pretty sure Sen had eaten heart, come to think of it... her memories of their time in the woods together had grown muddled by fear and time, but the rich, savoury scent of meat helped jog that memory some of the first time she'd tried Elk felled by Sen's talons. It had been delicious, better than anything she'd had before or since and she smiled at the thought, plus Sen seeming to enjoy her own meal. "I'm pretty sure you have eaten heart before. You're not one to waste what you catch and... I think I remember you trying not to freak me out about it." Khare chuckled lightly beneath her breath. When Sen had learned a bit of what happened, she'd brought back pieces of meat rather than a whole damn carcass, regular pieces of meat that looked like they came straight from the butchers instead of something that had been walking and breathing not half an hour before. Khare had appreciated Sen's sensitivity on the matter but any squeamishness soon disappated when it became apparent just how hungry the two of them were, from long hours of trekking across harsh terrain and keeping their distance from other, less friendly creatures in the vicinity. That left two other questions though, and Khare pondered as another mouthful disappeared. Her eyes dropped to the knife and fork in Sen's hands, wielded deftly as any regular patron to the diner. She had talons alright, powerful ones that could shred through larger animals but had she ever tried cutting her own claws before? Had somebody else tried? Sen had been a bit... quiet as to her past for completely understandable reasons; Khare had been similarly tight-lipped albeit for different reasons, but it was hard when you were different as not everybody was able to accept you the way you were. "I'm... going with that you can't do handstands. Because I've never actually seen you do one, you know? You might have the muscles but have you got the balance?" Khare said playfully as she leaned forwards. Sen's was looking a lot less full now with most of the steak having disappeared, a single piece left leaving only a bloody plate as to the meal that had once been there.

"I created my own antivirus software, I have every element on the periodic table memorized, and waffles are one of my favorite breakfast foods.” @question-marked

Send me two truths and a lie about your muse, and I’ll guess which is which!

"Well, I'm not sure about the first two but I know waffles are definitely one of your favourite breakfast foods!" Khare said with a grin. Thank goodness Eddie threw in an easy one to make things a little bit easier. She had no problem remembering how much Eddie enjoyed the waffles at Pauli's, especially after his (very) extended stay at Arkham to the point the poor guy was little more than skin and bone when he walked through those doors as a free man. He'd enjoyed the waffles so much along with half the menu and still got them whenever he stopped by. That left the other two questions and this caused her to frown. Eddie was a smart man, easily one of if not the smartest people she know so both were entirely plausible in her mind. She hemmed and hawed a bit, chewing her lip as Eddie chewed on a batch of fresh waffles. "It's... oh, gosh. Honestly I think all of these are true, buuuut... you created your own antivirus software? Maybe?" She added hesitantly. Khare was pretty sure Eddie knew the periodic table as well as he'd learned the menu at Pauli's but she'd never pegged him as the type to hold much interest in science. He was a technology kind of guy, something something about hacking and cyber crime so learning how to make your own antivirus program would be way more beneficial than learning about... air, and salt and whatever formal terms they taught highschoolers. Because she sure as fuck couldn't remember.

"If I'm wrong, your next batch of waffles are free, promise."

Once again I apologize for the lack of activity lately! Easter overtime was rougher than expected and having to handle deliveries yesterday, all of which were mixed up and requiring sorting out by their appropriate rollers but overall I'm feeling a hell of a lot better than last week! Hoping to do something now I've woken up after post-coma dinner, and wanted to give you an update on the boy...

R.orschach definitely enjoyed his special dinner today, the biggest fuzzy (almost a hopper even) yet! No longer is he on teeny tiny pinkies once a week, this boy was ravenous and has now associated the hairdryer with getting fed. It won't be long before I need to get his adult tank set up and ready to go at the rate he's devouring food, and is now looking like a proper little snake instead of the teeny bootlace from 2 months ago. I love him very much and hope you all do too!

While Khare wasn't exactly considered a 'success' by PROMETHEUS, there are times where her body does function according to plan. One of these are enhanced capabilities, particularly in regards to improved jumping thanks to the frog DNA inserted into her genetic sequence. One time when walking to Pauli's, Khare was startled by a group of young thugs calling out and running after her. When met by a dead-end, she jumped straight up and on top of the building, losing the group but ended up arriving late to work as she struggled to find a way down after getting on top of a (very) high roof.

THREE (3) CHOICES ; Send an emoji below + three (3) different characters / muses that my muse must pick from! Some choices are considered ns / fw.

Well, this started off heavy. Khare's eyes shifted back and forth nervously as she contemplated her answers. Judging from the list of actions presented, it was pretty clear cut who'd she pick and why, even if all three were situations she'd rather steer clear of. "Oh geeze, umm. I guess I'd... rob a bank with Sen? She can fly I guess but getting in there and making them hand over money... oh, I don't know. What I do know is that I'd hide a body with Rorschach." Whether he'd killed somebody or something happened, Khare knew for certain she could trust Rorschach with her life and that he knew how to avoid getting caught. "As for rat out to the cops, uhhh.." Well shit, that left River. Probably one of the better options to rob a bank with, but hindsight was only 20/20 and Khare wasn't quite sure about the taller woman just yet. Sorry River, guess she's ratting you out to the cops but only because she doesn't know much about you so the information wouldn't be all that helpful.

Home sick today so not sure what I'm going to be today and tomorrow, sadly. I was also requested to cover Easter this coming week so going to be busy at work on top of being unwell. Save me. 🥴

One thing I forgot to mention about Khare is that there was another set of DNA markers spliced into her genetic make-up, specifically that of surinam toads. Not only do they have considerable regenerative properties due to the way they breed, there's a good chance that down the line, she won't need another partner to start spawning perfect little replicas from her very flesh.

Wally was pretty cute, Khare would give him that. He'd caused quite the stir during his first visit when he ordered all the eggs and bacon, and by that, he really did mean all the eggs and bacon. He ate enough to feed a small army and effectively broke the breakfast menu that day, a record that had not been broken before (and after) he walked through the diner doors that day. They hadn't interacted much beyond Wally stopping by for breakfast but Khare found his visits entertaining enough. He was funny, kind-hearted and a real sweetheart even going as far as taking all the dirty dishes back to the kitchens so she didn't have to carry them. She'd insisted it was her job, but before she could blink an eye, the plates were all gone and by the time she got to the kitchen to see where they'd actually gone, they were all sparkling clean, standing up in their racks ready to be reused again. It still had her scratching her head, just how Wally gotten the plates to the kitchen out back so fast and washed them, disappearing only to leave money for his bill with tip included. She'd really love to get to know him more the next time he showed up at Pauli's, if he showed up again.
