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.]

Cocking head to the side, eyes glancing in his peripheral to where Katie's are going.]
What do you mean?
no subject
You look very tired. If it's stopped working, I can fix it, I bet. It would only take a few teeth.
no subject
He thins his lips and rubs the back of his head, unsure.]
I do...? I guess I've been pretty active lately.
[At night. Due to being a little stressed out. And not sleeping.
The way he said it sounds better.]
... I really would like to keep my teeth, though.
no subject
[She says that far too silkily for a child of nine. But then Katie's kind of just. Done with certain creatures, and this forest's effect on her isn't helping.]
no subject
Are you suggesting we take a vampire's teeth here?
Not very polite, I don't think.
no subject
[She's not one of the sidhe, man. Not being noble means being able to be a little brat whenever she feels like it.]
no subject
[He's concerned, though. What're you up to, kiddo?
It's always hard to tell with someone who is hardly a truth-teller.]
Sure hope none are bothering you.
no subject
[Same ol' same ol'. Sascha's never been dealt with to her satisfaction. She keeps telling people (not telling people) and they don't do anything, it's very unfair.
She'll just deal with it herself.]
