No Sheol Were Harmed in the Making of This Post (Mostly)
Who: Katie and you.
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Planetside, deep forest.
When: before the birthday announcements
[It's been a great month for Katie. She spent most of it as a cat out of sheer self-defence given she wasn't entirely sure when the whole truth compulsion would wear off, and truth be told (oh haha) she's felt pretty horrible ever since. The whole idea of an amazing adventure through space and how amazing that might be? It's starting to wear a little thin. Especially if she's going to get stuck in a place with random glitches that try their best to kill her, and a threat fleetwide that nobody seems to be taking seriously. Kids just wanna have fun, y'know?
So the planet with its forests is a godsend, and she knew it from the moment that first weird wave hit and she felt all the power, there and gone again. It's a place to put distance between herself and others and explore and-- after a few hours of delighted discovery-- recharge. There's magic soaked into everything out here. For once, regaining glamour really is just as easy as sleeping in a sunbeam. She is vaguely aware that too much can be a bad thing. She remembers forced addictions in Adstringendum, hers to glamour and Sam's to blood (and Mihawk's to her blood, she didn't hit him hard enough--) how crazy that made people. But she's not taking it from anyone, not draining it off wholesale, so it's completely different, right? It just. Takes longer. It's more subtle. And she forgets to be careful. There's a shifting of balance deep within, and when the onset of bedlam finally arrives it goes mostly unnoticed.
Her comm gets left behind under a tree purely because she gets too distracted to pick it up again. Katie goes deep into the forest, pursuing something only she can hear, distracted by lights flitting through trees in the distance. It won't be so bad. Once she realises what's happened she'll head for home where she can get her head straightened out. But until then...
To meet her might be an awfully big adventure, depending on who you are.
Please someone make sure she gets home safely.]

[That sounds alarming for a lot of reasons, actually. Life cycles are important things, yo. Anyone stuck in the process is just abhorrent.
...but also she kind of hopes if she stabs you you'll just fall over dead okay.]
no subject
Yes....? [ Sascha isn't sure how much he should say on this...exactly... ]
no subject
Does she really want to do this? No.
Should she?]
Does that mean you can't die or you'd rather not die?
no subject
Both...?
no subject
Perhaps people aren't trying hard enough. Do you think if I take your head off you'll get better again?
[Yeah that sounded horribly threatening, but there's a tremor in her voice like she's about to cry. Go figure.]
no subject
I...I dunno? Are you...okay?
no subject
[...testing.]
Are you secretly an evil villain? You could probably kill me right here to hide your secret and nobody would ever know.
[She wishes the lights would come back.]
