[i sure did pull a location out of a hat so hey catra are you here to scope out wtf this place is for, too?
Katy hasn't spoken to Catra all that much, but damn if she hasn't been on her radar. She's got questions. Like, what's with the cat schtick, for example.
But, also, Catra's Thottlr profile (that Katy recognizes she has no control over, but still,) is a challenge, and Katy's not one to back down from those.]
Catra.
[She nods in greeting, idly making her way around the room. What's up with all the weird waiting areas???]
[Suffice to say, Katy is more than a little shaken after all of that... But when Catra catches her attention as they all head out of the ballroom, she'll slink off into the employee breakroom so that Catra can follow. This should be private enough—she can't imagine this particular haunt will be a popular hangout spot tonight.]
[She crosses her arms and leans against the wall. That... that turned out better than she hoped. Not like she would have been torn up if it was Katy, she thinks. But it's better when it's people she doesn't know well.]
But it's not like anything was going to change Edelgard's mind.
[She shakes her head, clearly still pissed off about that.]
You know, she came up to me out of the blue and asked me to sleep with her. What the fuck was that about if she was just going to pull that shit at trial?
[Not that Edelgard could've known in advance that Katy would wind up suspicious, but. She's gonna be salty about it, anyway. That was a close call.]
[Katy sighs. She fully gets the exasperation, is the thing. But.]
I can't believe I'm defending her right now, but what if I had been the demon? Edelgard was full of shit, but if she really thought I was possessed, I can't fault her for coming after me. That's what we're here to do, plain and simple.
[...]
The trouble I have is that she threw me under the bus because she was grasping at straws.
...If I were possessed by a demon that made me kill someone, yeah, I'd want her to accuse me. It's not like I want to, you know... get exorcised, but... If that's what it takes to get everyone out of here, then yeah. Yeah, I'd want someone to catch me.
It's not, really. Staying possessed wouldn't do me any good, either. If I'm choosing between death and playing host to a piece of shit like that, it's not a tough decision.

How're ya now?
no subject
What was it again, Katy?
[She actually did know because she's memorized everyone's names and faces in case she needs it but... can't show her hand.]
Oh you know, just trapped in a murder ship with sex ghosts. Been worse.
no subject
Fair enough.
[...]
It could be worse, though. We could be on a murder ship with murder ghosts. At least there's a bit of fun mixed in.
[It's a stretch of a silver lining, but she's clinging to it.]

Say, what do you think this place is for?
week 3; saturday post-trial; employee breakroom
Thanks for vouching for me.

[She shrugs.]
Not that it matters. Even if that wasn't her goal, she's doing it anyway. Everyone is a pawn to be considered.
no subject
[She's not sure what to think anymore. She drops herself into a chair.]
But we're all supposed to trust each other. That's the only thing that's gonna get us through this.
no subject
[There's a short laugh here.]
How can we do that when one of us can turn into a murderer at any moment?
no subject
[Is there? In her mind, yes, but she understands it's a little bit of grasping at straws.]
Look, I just got done talking to Nathan. You're not the first person that's been more in favor of closing ranks this week.
[She says that with the exasperation of a girl that's had one too many conversations about distrust and playing their cards close to their chest.]
But he says none of us have any reason to distrust each other based on who we are before the demon gets into us. That's a tool we can use.

Edelgard took what she knew about you and used it against you.

You'd really be okay with her accusing you if you were a demon? Because that's still... not really you.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that and you have to put it all to the test.
