I cannot be forthcoming about things that I do not know. I like to be intentional when I speak, and not give information that I have not yet confirmed to be true.
But you are the second person to suggest to me that we collapsed for reasons other than simple sickness. Though it could just as easily be explained that we saw each other at meetings last week, thus getting sick. Or my own history of overwork simply caught up to me again at the same time. Those are the simple answers. Though I just as easily admit that the timing is odd, given the chaos of the weekend. But for what purpose would we be removed?
And so... I am trying to listen, and gather my thoughts. I just... don't know what it means. So I can speak more definitively once I am sure these are not all coincidences.
I think that even if a person is not inherently nice, they are capable of kind things. What you've said to me today makes me happy, even if you don't consider them kind. I just wanted you to know that.
But you are correct. I will do my best to serve our relationship well. Please let me know if there is anything I can provide to you. I will consider what you've told me, and try to think about the matter more. I am just as eager for answers and reasoning as you are.
Is that so... Then I suppose we can simply be two supposedly frustrating people in good company. If anyone else has an issue, that shall be their problem.
Yes. I do not think we will be in the dark forever. Even if things may be confusing or surprising, we will be able to get to the bottom of them until all answers are satisfactory. I am not a person who is daunted easily.
But... yes, I understand then. Of course you're welcome in our Dorm, Catra. We'd love to have you. It's better to be close with those you care for. And as promised there will be no repercussions. Do let me know if there's anything I can do to make you more comfortable.
A party is like a celebration where people gather and have fun. And while I understand it's not exactly a time to celebrate - A stress relief party can serve the purpose of working off some steam. People often have a clearer mind if they're not immediately angry.
Winter Dorm has been very sweet so far - but they are a little bit of a loud group. I think it might be fun to break some things together. I'm sure that's bonding.
Hehe, is that so? You should tell me more about that. I don't have any childhood friends, so maybe I can live through you two a bit.
A party it is, then. Just to try to get everyone's heads a little clearer. I'll see if I can have items prepared for it tomorrow. And even if we don't advertise it, it can be my little celebration for you joining us.
not all of our childhood memories are nice. we grew up with the horde, after all.
but i remember running through the halls and playing hide and seek from sh
[that sends but it seems to be an accident, because she quickly sends another message afterwards]
sorry, from our commanding officer. and sometimes-- though not always-- she'd play hooky from training lessons with me and we'd go up to the rooftop to see who could throw scrap the farthest.
[. . . those are good memories, Catra thinks. the kind she carries close to her heart. the kind she never wants to let go]
oh? is me switching supposed to be a secret? i think winter'll notice if there's a new person in their dorm.

i don't know if being unreachable for two and a half straight days is just "under the weather."
something weird must have happened to you. all of you.
no subject
You're the second to suggest that to me now...
...
I can take it into consideration.
But I do not know what the purpose of leaving us out of commission would be, if it was intentional.
no subject
in summer we heard a scream from sally's room on the night hiyori was killed. so whatever happened to you guys, it must have been related somehow
no subject
I'd thought she'd simply fallen ill too.
....
What an odd number of coincidences...
no subject
that's all? it's just odd??
that's such and understatement!
no subject
....
It could be suspect.
But I do not know what it could all mean yet, if they are not coincidences.
As such, I cannot make certain statements.
I'm trying to think it through, Catra, I promise.
no subject
you're not being very forthcoming.
it "could be" suspect?
what aren't you saying?
no subject

no subject
well.
i'm glad you're not dead or whatever
no subject
You're very nice to me, Catra.
In a situation where it is not expected or even warranted.
I want to say thank you for that.
I've been told that the type of person I am can be frustrating...
But I will do my best for you. I swear it.
no subject
i'm not nice!!
it's just, whatever, you know!! you being alive benefits me!!
[she lies she has soft spots for Viola and Sally, despite having only known them for a week]
no subject

no subject
i know what it's like to be told the kind of person you are is frustrating.
so.
[. . .]
if we're all looking for answers we've got to find them eventually
right?
no subject
Then I suppose we can simply be two supposedly frustrating people in good company.
If anyone else has an issue, that shall be their problem.
Yes.
I do not think we will be in the dark forever.
Even if things may be confusing or surprising, we will be able to get to the bottom of them until all answers are satisfactory.
I am not a person who is daunted easily.
no subject
i like the way you talk
but never mind that. like i said, there is something you can help me with
i want to join your team.
no subject
Please understand I'm overjoyed to hear this - we'd love to have you.
But hadn't you said you didn't wish to be the first?
no subject
don't get me wrong, i'd rather cautiously milk this rivalry you and sally seem to have for all it's worth. and sally'sā fine.
[catra speak for SHE LIKES SALLY]
but after what happened i can't wait. i have to be with adora
no subject
[SALLY WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN SAYING]
But... yes, I understand then.
Of course you're welcome in our Dorm, Catra. We'd love to have you.
It's better to be close with those you care for.
And as promised there will be no repercussions.
Do let me know if there's anything I can do to make you more comfortable.
no subject
[literally just that she wouldn't lose, the rivalry is catra's headcanon]
and don't think i've forgotten that you promised me breakable stuff
for stress relief
no subject
Then I will take this rivalry seriously.
[catra what have you done]
Oh, of course. I think we all need that after this weekend.
Maybe we can make a party of it.
no subject
what's a party?
no subject
And while I understand it's not exactly a time to celebrate -
A stress relief party can serve the purpose of working off some steam.

I think it might be fun to break some things together.
I'm sure that's bonding.
no subject
adora and i bonded through breaking things as kids.
it's totally a group activity.
so sure, we can make it a. . . party
no subject
You should tell me more about that.
I don't have any childhood friends, so maybe I can live through you two a bit.
A party it is, then.
