Who: Katie McCoy and anyone
Broadcast: Yas
Action: Vanquish
When: 23/8

[Action]

[Vanquish crew might get a heads up that Katie's woken up by the short, one-sided conversation she appears to be having with a demanding and loud cat, muffled through the walls of the personnel room where she sleeps. Not that there's a lot of talking-- a lot of silence on her part, actually, punctuated first with the sharp words "How long?" And then a little later--"Oh, I see. Taking advantage of people again, are you? Tsk."

She lets herself out of the room eventually, still blinking drowsily and her hair tugged back into some semblance of a braid, Licorice a small black shadow winding around her ankles that seems very intent on tripping her up. Which-- don't give her that, you little shit.]

Doesn't work on me. If so many people are feeding you, I bet you've had scads of affection. Don't be such a brat.

[Doesn't stop her from padding barefoot into the kitchen anyway to fetch both of them some food. Morning, crew, wherever you are.]

[Text is my favourite medium]

It seems I slept through show and tell Pity But I only got some wonderful movies to add to our collection

[...they're like D-grade. One of them's called Attack of the Killer Refrigerator, I mean c'mon.]

I wonder, has anyone seen Event Horizon? Fantastic movie, though it's very far-fetched Plenty of loving moments Morpheus fought to free his crew from a ship that wouldn't let them go before he quit and went on to try proving the universe wasn't real I love sci-fi, don't you? Better than real life any day Has anyone given thought to the fact that maybe we're the cameras? What's the worst movie you've ever seen?

[She probably has points in there somewhere. She was going to waffle about movies ages ago, but then she fell asleep. How rude.]

((ooc: I haven't linked to Katie's permissions for a while.))

[sdkfljsdf well she's laughing over here.]

nice butts can save many a movie though that does sound like an awful lot of moping it isn't where I come from. My entire world is very camera shy.

yeah like why make a movie about moping there were zero explosions i guess that would make anyone mope'

oh that's kind of cool though like there's constant surveillance in my city because antisocial behavior could really mess the environmental systems up but maybe if you don't have to worry about it...

Everything's better with explosions! Sometimes also better with guys in tights swinging around, I'll take one or the other do you have a lot of environmental problems or do you live somewhere like a space station?

as long as there are nice butts to go with the tights that is A+++

my city is under a dome there was a big war that fucked up the terraforming for the whole planet so you can't go outside any more

Goodness no, pudgy butts in tights wouldn't hold my interest nearly as much.

[...and oh. That's not so light.] How long ago did that happen?

depends on the pudginess of the butt and the design of the tights i bet

oh that was like um thirty years ago? something like that i fought on the line while they were building the dome so i kind of remember what it was like to be able to go outside but most everyone doesn't anymore

Well now I'll just have to scout around until I find pudgy but fashionable butts just for some variety do you miss it a lot?

if i find any i'll let you know for sure variety is the spice of life right

i did! so being here is cool because i get to see lots of places and be outside and all sorts of things and i get to see real sunsets again

And of course there's all kinds of butts out here, too. Would you stay out here or still prefer to go home?

oh i would definitely stay here but i would like to bring my friends from home that would be awesome but like it's nice to not have to be scared all the time here!

Things are that bad at home, huh?

yeah i guess like the funny thing is i didn't know how fucked up it was there until i got here and then i found out like how much people had been lying to me and everyone else and like fucking up my memory and stuff like that

[...well that's a bunch of shitty assholes.]

What was their excuse? "For your protection" or just to cover their own ass?

they don't have to give you an excuse if you can't remember them lying to you right

Excellent point. Do you have a theory?

i dunno my friends thought they were trying to cover bad stuff up like really really bad stuff

Sometimes making people forget is for their own good. That's what people tell me, anyway. I've never really believed it, unless the truth would literally drive them mad.

for your own good is basically the motto of the department of compliance but they say it fancier

Any department that has it as a motto needs a major alignment change in my experience.

they say they make people better but i guess it's all in how you define "better"

"better" for them maybe less questions asked if you remember when you return, what would you do?

kick the shit out of some motherfuckers

[It's an answer that surprises her into laughter on this end.]

Then I hope very much you get to keep your memories. Though perhaps I should hope you never have to return to begin with.

that's what i'm hoping i'd rather stay here and wish my friends were here too this place is way way way better
