[inaccordant]

Hugo. Are you going to sharpen your claws on more things inside if I let you in?

[supercatty]

[she brightens a bit, ears swiveling forward]

Maybe.

[bad cat]

[inaccordant]

Consider not doing that.

[but he sighs and steps back to let her in anyway.]

[supercatty]

[strolls inside, tail swishing behind her]

I'll consider it.

[eyeing him thoughtfully. . .]

. . . you seem a little less grumpy today.

[inaccordant]

[...]

Was there something you wanted?

[supercatty]

[a tilt of her head]

Iris came back to herself last night. I just wanted to see if the rest of you had, too.

[inaccordant]

Well, now you know.

[supercatty]

[she takes a seat on whatever sitting surface she can find, making herself at home, as cats do]

Do you mind if I ask you what you remember before you got here?

[inaccordant]

[she can sit on fall dorm's couch.]

I don't have any info that would help you, if that's what you mean.

[supercatty]

[a giggle-snort]

It is, actually. And I didn't think any of you would, considering you're in the same situation as us. Still. . .

[she trails off]

[inaccordant]

Then you'll be disappointed. I was probably brought here in the same manner as you, except accompanied by a memory rewrite of some kind.

[supercatty]

. . . why you four, though? Just bad luck?

[inaccordant]

I don't know the reason. It might very well just be random.

[supercatty]

[hmmm. . .]

That doesn't make sense. Wouldn't whoever-- rewrote your memories have a vested interested in keeping you guys brainwashed?

[inaccordant]

Probably. I don't think us breaking out is necessarily their doing, so I wouldn't be surprised if it resurfaces.

[supercatty]

[tail flick]

I wouldn't be, either. So let's make the most of this period of lucidity, yeah?

[inaccordant]

I intend to. I refuse to let whatever this is win.

[max confidence!]

[supercatty]

[she likes it tho!!]

That's the spirit. Then let me welcome you properly to the fight, Hugo.

[inaccordant]

I don't need your welcome, but I suppose I'll take it.

[supercatty]

[a little giggle]

I guess some things haven't changed, then.

[inaccordant]

Were you expecting a drastic difference?

[supercatty]

[hmmmm]

Maybe? Viola and Iris seem pretty different.

[though not THAT different, she supposes]

[inaccordant]

Well, we were forced to accept everything that's been going on, to some degree, so it's likely there were just never any opportunities for certain sides to show.

[supercatty]

[like Iris's DESTROY ALL OF MY ENEMIES side]

I guess so. But even that could make things different enough.

[inaccordant]

I suppose. I don't think the core of who we are has changed, though. There are some things that don't change so easily even with fake memories.
