[traitorously]

[Hey Foreigners there is a cutie brunette on your screen right now. She’s tapping her chin a little thoughtfully, eyeing the camera] Okay, so I get the whole other realm, hi-you’re-on-a-turtle-and-also-there-are-computers thing. Which, weird – seriously, who expects the afterlife to be so high tech? Also, sorry about the possession thing, that must've sucked. But I have something a little more important to ask about right now.

[She leans back and gestures at herself. She’s wearing a green dress that, while it looks good on her, isn’t exactly appropriate for every day wear] Does anyone have clothes I could borrow? Pants, especially pants. You have no idea how long it’s been since I even saw a pair of jeans.

Other than that, does anyone know if there’s a dance club around here or something? I had a look around myself, but maybe someone who’s been here longer can help. There’s gotta be some place teenagers can go to let loose, right? [She winks, and reaches forward to turn off the camera when something else appears to occur to her]

Oh yeah! I’m A – Catty, I’m Catty. [She holds her hand up in a Vulcan salute] Greetings to my fellow inter-dimensional travellers. Especially those of you with pants.

[Huff.]

Look, just trust me. The turtle came to me in a dream, and we talked. The basic gist of it was, whatever the Emperor's plans for us as her personal army of [undying] sacrifices, he says he won't make anyone fight.

[aenseidhe]

Trust is not a strong suit of mine. [ so deadpan, and also you still sound cray. ]

Assuming this was not a hallucination, does it honestly seem to you that we will have that choice? [ squinting ] If the creature comes for us, we will fight or we will die. I doubt it will discriminate on who is willing.

[fatedchaos]

That's okay. I have enough for the both of us. [She nods.]

It was a dream, like a... A vision! You know what a vision is, right? [A beat. He brings up a good point, and she presses her lips together in thought.] No, but... If you choose to fight, or if you choose to die, those are still choices. Limited ones. Bad ones. But choices that you can still make for yourself.

[aenseidhe]

That is not necessarily a good or wise thing. [ gurl you trust way too easy, especially for you to be okay with being around someone like him. ]

I doubt it will make much of a difference to those not suicidal.

[fatedchaos]

Nobody said I was wise, but it's not like it's gotten me killed yet. [It's okay. She'll learn. One day. Maybe.]

Sometimes I think you just like to be contrary to be contrary.

[aenseidhe]

Yet. And how many years have you survived?

[ snerk. ] You are starting to know me well.

heeheehee

[fatedchaos]

Seventeen and counting, good sir. [That's a long time for human girls that fight evil.]

On a surface level.

B(

[aenseidhe]

[ lololol snerk. ] Tell me when you've made seventy.

On a surface level. [ simple nod. ]

83

[fatedchaos]

I'm really hoping that we're not here long enough for that. [A pause.] Me turning seventy, that is. [Which now raises the question for her. If they're clones, do they even age?]

[aenseidhe]

Nor am I.

[ omfg seventy years is not nearly okay, he has so much shit to do and he doesn't want to go back to his world an old dude. ]

You have much of your life to return to still. Even in the eyes of humans you are still a child.

[fatedchaos]

[A pause, and then a soft smile. If she chooses to become a guardian, her age won't really matter anymore. She'll become immortal. But that's not something she's going to say.]

Yeah, I'm not even an adult in my society.

[aenseidhe]

[ gurl he would be proud of you to hear that ]

Then you may consider striving towards wisdom to survive into adulthood.

[fatedchaos]

[can't be proud of a decision she hasn't even made yet, yo]

Wisdom does come with age, you know. I'm a kid. I'm allowed to make mistakes.
