puts in a murder proposal for jae next

[supercatty]

You know, I'm not really the type to fuss over people when they're hurt. But since you were getting onto me, I thought I'd return the favor.

[aka she's using it as an excuse to actually worry over him without seeming like she CARES]

please, have mercy

[ercnerd]

Is that right? I was fussing over you, because I was worried. Does that mean you're worried about me?

NO MERCY FOR JAE??

[supercatty]

-- no, obviously.

[SHE SAYS A LITTLE TOO QUICKLY]

It's called being obnoxious in return to get revenge.

then I can't tag you back anymore

[ercnerd]

Oh, is it?

Then I can't refuse, can I? All right. I'll accept your revenge and get some rest now.

oh :(

[supercatty]

[flaps her good hand at him!]

Good. Go on. Get out of here.

♥

[ercnerd]

Okay, okay. I'm going.

[He moves to leave.]

You know what that means, right? I don't want to see you again for the rest of the day!

i'm sad i can't start another pc with you after this??

[supercatty]

Hey, knowing me, I might make it the rest of the week.

[she will regret those words]

Week 6: Saturday

[ercnerd]

[He's on his way outside when he crosses paths with Catra. Greeting her with his trademark smile, the air about him is devoid of hostility.]

Can you speak now?

[supercatty]

[she's calmed down a bit from her little. . . ah, "spell" earlier, and by now a few people have come to talk to her so she's not nearly as bitter or angry as she was at the end of trial. so when she greets him, its with one hand on her hip and her head tilted curiously]

If I had said "no," what were you planning on doing?

[ercnerd]

[You wouldn't have been able to say it in the first place.]

Nothing. You've been through enough.

[supercatty]

[oh my god SHE BRISTLES A BIT AT THOSE THOUGHTS, but like. humorously so!!!]

Haven't we all? Everyone here seems pretty exhausted, if you ask me.

[ercnerd]

[Good!]

So you admit to it.

[supercatty]

Well, yeah.

[it's not a feelings thing so she doesn't feel like she has to be cagey]

But like I said: haven't we all?

[GESTURES AT MURDER SCHOOL]

[ercnerd]

I suppose that's true.

[It's gotten worse . . . If this goes on any longer, everyone will . . . ]

[supercatty]

[she]

[has been ignoring people's thoughts for the most part, because HOLY PRIVACY BATMAN, but-- this one she doesn't feel like she can just brush aside]

-- what?

Everyone will-- what?

[ercnerd]

Huh?

[He blinks, but then realization dawns.]

Oh, nothing.

[supercatty]

[stares at him]

That was not "nothing," Sieghart.

[ercnerd]

It will be, because we're all leaving this place sooner than later.

[supercatty]

[tail flick]

Yeah. That's the plan.

[she still studying him pretty carefully, though]

. . . still. . .

[I can't help but wonder what it is he isn't saying.]

[ercnerd]

. . . Haha.

I think you understand more than you realize.

[supercatty]

. . . do I?

[What's that mean?]

[ercnerd]

Mm. You understand the hardship everyone's going through.

[You understand their limits, too.]

[supercatty]

[just. once again responding to his thoughts aloud, a bit surprised]

Their limits. . .

[. . .]

[Oh.]

[she settles a bit as his meaning dawns on her, and her expression turns a bit stony]

Yeah, well. I'm not. . . stupid.

[emotional and prone to reckless decisions, yes. stupid? not at all]

[ercnerd]

You're reckless, but I wouldn't call you stupid.

[Opening the door to the outdoor playground, he beckons her to follow.]

Come on. The air is better outside.

[supercatty]

[a momentary pause, but. . . then she follows behind him, arms folded across her chest. she just came from outside but it's fine!! fresh air is good!!]
