. . .

So you've heard the theory that the dorm heads have had their memories rewritten, right?

People have managed to get through to Luke, Chad and Viola, but I hadn't heard anything about Sally.

[AND SO. . . SHE IS INVESTIGATING]

[amain]

Yes, I have heard the theory. I was hoping to talk to her about it when I made some voucher purchases earlier today…

But I didn’t get to press about her memory and the theory that much since we talked about a handful of things. I wanted to be… More company than investigator with my visit.

Are you saying the other three had breakthroughs?

[supercatty]

[. . . she understands that, so it's not like she can blame him. but as to his question? she nods]

Kon and Crow with Viola. Lalli with Luke. Someone else with Chad, though I don't know who.

[. . .]

And I was able to break through to Viola too, though I had to use my coupon for it.

[amain]

[ Hmm. interesting. ]

… Is it that we all have to individually do this? Is it different with each person?

[supercatty]

No. I don't think it's that complicated.

I think some people just got lucky, or had the right resources to break through. Like--

[she picks up her phone and taps on the screen with her thumb before showing it to Nier. he can see one basic mind control spell, unsued on said screen]

I was able to use this to restore Viola's memories, but for Kon and Crow, it just kind of. . . happened? I think?

[amain]

I see.

[ THIS STILL SEEMS COMPLICATED, but he gets it. ]

There’s a chance someone in Summer might have gotten through, so I’ll ask the dorm first. But I can still talk to Sally again to see if anything comes up. Maybe press her a little more. It’s just been tough on us.

[ For obvious reasons. ]

[supercatty]

. . . yeah. It has.

[she's been fussing over Summer for the past few weeks, she gets it]

I'll try talking to her, too. But-- um.

Let me know if you find out anything, okay? I can. . . you know.

Let you know something in return.

[amain]

I will since I don’t see any reason for any of us to hide things. We’re all in this together and it would benefit us to be on the same page, dorm wars or not.

You’ve gotten word about what the last group found on their trip, right?

[ He wants to make sure since it wasn’t established in public. ]

[supercatty]

The-- daycare. Right?

[yeah, Rupert shared. and she still has Complicated (TM) feelings about that]

[amain]

Yeah, that’s right.

[ Winter is murder dorm ]

Are you doing okay in Winter, Catra?

[supercatty]

[WINTER IS MURDER DORM. . .]

. . .

They're nice. [another tail flick] It's okay there.

But it was okay in Summer, too.

[in Catra speak that means she liked both dorms :( :( :(]

[amain]

I’m glad to hear they’re treating you well, then. I heard they’ve treated Kainé kindly, too.

[ Nier doesn’t have biases. He just wants everyone to be cared for. ]

[supercatty]

[it's okay to have biases, Nier!! she lifts her gaze to study him, because a small pang of guilt is making her stomach churn again, but--]

[before she can say anything else]

[GUESS WHAT? a memory plays!]

[amain]

[ Sometimes you love everyone?! Oh, no. The memory is so sad and that leaves Nier frowning, expression glossed with some concern. It's tough to be abandoned. It's tough to lose someone. It's tough to lose people multiple times. ]

... Catra.

[ He... Isn't sure if she wants to talk about it. ]

[supercatty]

[she's stiff when the memory ends, ears flat and fur bristled]

I-- [SHE ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!]

These stupid-- [hiss!!] Don't-- don't say anything. Just forget what you saw.

[amain]

... All right.

[ He gets some people don't want to talk about it and respects when they want to do it on their time. Maybe if Catra seemed like she was in a bad place, he would press, but... He knows she has people that like her here. ]

I'll forget about it.

[supercatty]

[she doesn't seem soothed by that, though it isn't his fault. you can't unring the bell, after all. he saw. he knows]

[she looks away, tail lashing behind her]

[amain]

[ It's okay because Catra may have a small memory of his (to 3:18).

If that at all helps! ]

[supercatty]

[oh my god. is that a talking book? there's a lot to unpack here-- including Nier's feelings during the meal-- but Catra is going to focus on one thing first]






Love muffin?

[DISGUSTING. PLEASE CANCEL HETEROSEXUALITY]

[amain]

[ IT IS JULY CATRA PRIDE IS OVER ]

They’re… Very out there.

[ He’s fond of them all the same. ]

[supercatty]

[FALSE, IT IS GAY WRATH MONTH NOW]

Yeah, uh. I can see that.

[tail flick]

. . . who are they?

[the actually seem very nice]

[amain]

The man is the ferryman for the three locations near my village. I've known him since I was a teenager. The first time I met him, he couldn't do work because he was worried sick over his wife going missing, so I helped him look for her.

[ They are... The couple is so much. ]

They were like that back then, too.

[supercatty]

[THEY ARE SO MUCH. WHO WEARS THEIR FEELINGS ON THEIR SLEEVE LIKE THIS?? it is a mystery to Catra]

Extremely gross and sappy? Somehow I'm not surprised.

Why was she missing?

[amain]

... She went to go see her parents for the week and he forgot.

[ THEY'RE IN LOVE ]

[supercatty]

[. . .]

Is he kind of a moron?

[A BIT INCREDULOUS??]
