[catra your vouchers...but taichi nods even if she looks alarmed like he doesn't even care he's alarming her.]

Yeah. You switched out of summer to winter, didn't you?

[supercatty]

Oh. Yeah. What of it?

[tail flick]

[goalsides]

Relax. [he's also going to retrieve his emotional support ball.] I just wanted to know how that went. I asked Viola, but I wanted to hear it from you.

[supercatty]

[ah. she does relax a bit, mouth curving upwards]

It's been fine. Winter is no Summer, and it sucks that I swapped just as Summer took the lead in the Dorm Wars, but hey!

I'll just make sure Winter makes one heck of a comeback this week, right?

[COMPETITIVE, ISN'T SHE]

[goalsides]

We'll see about that. [he's equally competitive in most cases, so ignore the slight smirk from him. on the other hand...]

But nothing weird happened with the switch? And Sally was fine with it?

[supercatty]

[at the mention of Sally, her ears droop a bit, arms folded]

[. . .]

Sally was a little disappointed, but she understood. But-- I told her she could bribe us both back if she wanted. And everyone else in Summer said they would try to bribe us back, too.

I want Adora to speak with her a little bit before we really decide, though.

[goalsides]

[there's a nod. it's not like he didn't see both adora and catra at summer dorm for movie night, and it's not like he didn't see how well summer dorm still welcomed her back.]

That makes sense. If the two of you are going to stick together, it should be something you both decide. [he looks like he wants to say more about it, pausing as he looks at his soccer ball. in the end though, he changes his mind and decides it's maybe not his business.]

The whole thing's kind of a pain anyway.

[supercatty]

[. . . she is so not great at this empathy thing, but even she can tell something is bothering Taichi? so she stares at him for a moment, hand on her hip, expression bemused]

It's not that much of a pain. I like the competition.

[okay, Catra]

Sooooo, are you moping?

[goalsides]

[he

kicks the ball at her

as punishment. if she's going to ask stupid questions, she can at least do him a solid and pass back and forth for a bit.]

I never said I didn't like the competition. I think it's a pain the dorms are really strict about some things. [there's a frown.] And I'm not moping. I'm strategizing.

[okay.]

[supercatty]

[a snort, but Catra moves quickly, catching the soccer ball with her feet and dribbling it easily on the ground. SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SOCCER IS HOW IS SHE SO GOOD]

What are they strict about? Neither Sally or Viola seem that strict.

[even if Sally was Serious about Pillows]

[goalsides]

[cat instincts are useful in a game like this. he's watching her and also vaguely hoping her clawsies don't actually pop the ball. hm.]

Apparently it's frowned upon and then kind of forbidden to spend more than one or two nights in another dorm.

[supercatty]

Oh. Yeah, I knew that.

[laughs in catradora]

Where do you want to spend the night? You could always just swap to that dorm yourself.

[goalsides]

[co-dependency is a hell of a drug.]

Fall. [...] I'm thinking about switching, but I also don't like the idea of abandoning Chad to do so.

[this is really just taichi wanting his cake and eating it too and the stupid dorm war won't let him? it's very rude.]

[supercatty]

[one day they should talk about it!!]

Is it really abandoning them, though? [tilts her head] I mean, I felt a little-- [GUILTY] Anyway, I mean I didn't want to abandon Sally, but I can still talk to her, you know?

And who knows? Maybe Adora and I will swap back to summer. It's not like it's a permanent decision.

[goalsides]

[they have to acknowledge it first :\

ALSO YEAH, SEE, THE GUILT THING IS WHAT'S GOING TO KILL HIM so he shrugs in response.]

Maybe it's not, but it just seems kind of shitty to tell a guy you want to get to know him and hang out with him and then swap out of his dorm. I'm not so sure fall wouldn't be a permanent decision anyway.

[because, really, at the end of the day taichi will probably do whatever makes yamato happiest.]

It's still early.

[supercatty]

[mmmmm. . .]

"It's still early" is what I told myself.

And then Hiyori died, and I wasn't there to-- [protect Adora??]

[goalsides]

[which is another problem.]

Maybe...it won't be the same twice. I have to check, just once to see if this is really going to be a pattern. [not that it doesn't make him nervous as hell.] If I could figure out a way to go back to fall tonight instead of spring maybe it'll work out.

[supercatty]

[hmmmm. . . well!!]

You could always talk about it with Chad to see what he thinks. Or just suck it up and stay in Spring.

[a pause]

. . . who in Fall would you swap for?

[goalsides]

[now i see why you were busy this week :unamused:]

I've talked about it. Sort of. I haven't said anything about switching exactly but I was asking about sleeping at Fall on Thursdays.

[there's a pause of his own.]

You mean like...who would I swap with and ask them to go to Spring in my place? Or who would I go to Fall for?

[supercatty]

[heh]

Who would you go to Fall for, obviously. Or who would you drag to Spring instead if you could.

[goalsides]

[in a way he's sort of glad it isn't obvious.]

Yamato. We talked about it last week.

[supercatty]

[oooooooooh]

So what are the chances of him swapping instead?

[goalsides]

Not very high. [but he doesn't sound bothered either.] I always kind of figured I'd be the one swapping instead anyway.

[supercatty]

He that attached to Luke already?

[lightly teasing! . . . but she kind of understands what Taichi is saying. for her and Adora. . . she was always going to be the one to swap]

Well, if you're worried about consequences, don't. Everything worked out just fine for me.

The only bad part was swapping right before Summer took a lead in the Dorm Wars.

[goalsides]

[there's a grin that says he kind of knows why, even if yamato hasn't explained why he won't swap, but he won't explain. nevertheless...]

Then...I guess I have an answer finally. [about a week too late given he didn't answer immediately but it's fine.]

You got the rundown how dorm heads earn points, right?
