What kind of question is that?

"So I shaid, 'Lynn, your shtream was great, but please please turn it off before you change into your nightie next time!"

Corinne and Tessa burst out laughing. It took Mari a second to realize they were laughing at her story and not her, but soon enough she was laughing along with them. Why wouldn't she laugh at a funny story with her two new friends?

"Bunny Hapa really did that?" Rachel asked seriously, though the corner of her mouth twitched upwards. She rolled her eyes and threw back another swig of her vodka. "I have a hard time believing Lynn Choi of all people accidentally stripped on camera."

"Nonono. Shh, zombie lady. You be quiet now." Mari reached across the table and put her finger to a very surprised Rachel's lips. "She wasn't Buddy Ha... Bungie Ha... Bunny Hapa back then. She was LazerPoodle999 and had big ugly braces like chiclets!"

Rachel blinked once. Twice. Then the Banshee Queen snorted and broke down into a fit of squeaky high-pitched laughter.

"Wow," Tessa marveled. "There's something you don't see every day."

Rachel reached for a napkin to dab away the tears in her eyes before her undead makeup started to run. For such a serious girl, she had the cutest laugh.

"Mari, you're so funny!" Corinne said with a giggle. She slid herself right next to Marigold and leaned even closer than she had been in the photos. Her warm body pressed against Mari's side like a soft blanket. "You should totally show us the video and make Rayray do her laugh again."

"Very funny," Rachel said, finally over her laughing fit.

"I dunno if there is one," Marigold slurred. "Lynn had, like, maybe 2 followers back then. And she made me delete everything."

"She made you delete it?" Tessa asked, confused. "Why couldn't she do it herself?"

" 'Cause she was a big fat lazy butt and has me do all her facebook an' videos an' stuff," Marigold grumbled. "She don't trust Joy with that 'cause she's shmart and Joy's evil. I shtill do it sometimes when she's busy, which means she's at parties and at cons and having fun without me."

The three members of the DD brigade all shared a glance. When they'd gotten Mari in here, they'd caught a big fish.

"You can have all kinds of fun without Lynn," Corinne cooed. "You're here with us. More importantly... you're here with me."

Corinne slid a hand sensuously down the curve of Mari's back. She shuddered and gave a soft sigh.

"You should get out of that Mercy cosplay," Corinne whispered. "You're so beautiful, and it's so tight on you..."

Corinne's beautiful features filled Mari's eyes. She was still wearing those adorable fox ears on her head and painted-on whiskers. Mari's head was full of fog up. She couldn't think. Was this really happening? This was all happening so fast. She needed time.

Corinne swept in hungrily for a kiss. At the same time, Marigold's hand went to her watch.
