[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.

[Catty's expression is nothing but sympathy] Do ancient evils try to make out with your best friends, too? [Why is this so common in her life??

She's going to count the grin as a win, for now at least.] Oh, I will! She just has this tendency to - well, you know. [Actually, she has no idea if Annabeth knows about Vanessa's tendency to self-deprecate and lie about being fine. There's a part of her that hopes she doesn't, and that Catty just came off better in some made up friendship test ~~please excuse her she gets jealous~~]

Yeah. She's probably one of the strongest people I know. Thanks.

Try to kill them, mostly. [She says it kind of flippantly, but it's entirely true all the same.]

[She raises an eyebrow, because she can kind of understand what Catty's getting at - and on some level, Annabeth has noticed that about Vanessa. Not from anything the other girl's told her, but Annabeth can always just read people with above average skill.] I think she's been okay, overall.

[Missing Catty for sure, she knows that much after that particular conversation, but Annabeth has no place in this situation between them right now.]
