"Hi, It's Catty! If you're listening to this, I didn't give you a fake number! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you when I can."

[Vanessa's shuffling around in a pair of short and a tank top with a vaguely disgruntled look on her face. She keeps flexes her fingers. There's something... Not quite right. Not wrong, but not right at all.]

Hey, Catty. You feeling off today?

[traitorously]

[Of course she's feeling okay. Catty is always feeling okay for Vanessa. She's currently just lying on the floor, because she'd less faded out of the shadows and more slammed out of them about four minutes before her friend came into the room] Uuuuh...I'm hungry?

[fatedchaos]

[She stands over Catty, head tilting a bit as she looks down at her. Uhhh.] Okay, why are you on the floor?

[traitorously]

Thinking about painting the ceiling. [It's an easy reply, and it's even half true.]

[fatedchaos]

[The answer gives her pause, and Vanessa finds herself glancing up at the ceiling. Well, one of her walls already has a painting from the talking wolf, why not something on her ceiling too.] What would you paint?

[Wait. This is not the conversation she wanted to have.]

[traitorously]

[Catty smiles, lifting her hands and framing the area of the ceiling she wants to focus on] What else? The moon.

[fatedchaos]

[She's not really sure where Catty is at the moment, but she figures that leaving her the message will help.]

I'm going to see the Emperor. About... my Choice. [She frowns, twirling a curl around her finger.] Can you wait outside for me?

[Catty is cooking, as evidence by the way she pops up on screen with some sort of chocolate-coated spatula in hand. She frowns] Can't I come in with you?

[fatedchaos]

[Vanessa shakes her head.] No. Nobody's allowed inside of the audience chamber with you. It's a one at a time thing.

[traitorously]

Well, that's stupid. [She licks the spatula thoughtfully] I could sneak in after you?

[fatedchaos]

[Jealous. She wants to lick a spatula.] No, I don't think it works that way. [And she wants to be alone anyway.]

[after this]

[Dorian deserves an award for how okay he manages to make his voice sound.]

Catty? About that thing we were discussing. I've decided: I want to do it. There's something else I'd like to discuss too, if you'd be up for it.

cry sorry this took me forever

[traitorously]

The - oh, the smoking? [She smiles, but there's a curious note to her voice] Okay, no problem. What's the other thing?

I FORGIVE YOU; also private now

[depicted]

Memories.

private;

[traitorously]

[She blinks, once, but that's the only real expression of surprise he gets from her] You want me to remove some of your memories? [just clarifiying here]

private;

[depicted]

[It's almost a shrug, the way he answers.] I do.

[There's a smile, too. He is entirely in his right mind. Nothing to worry about.] If you wouldn't mind?

private;

[traitorously]

[Her eyebrows twitch together slightly, but it's more out of concern than anything else. Her voice is notably softer when she speaks again] Why?

[guiltapalooza]

[Willow's tone is to the point, but palpably worried.]

Hey, Catty, can you cast spells? We need a third for a triad to do a planar search for the missing people.

[traitorously]

[There's a pause] A what to do a what? [wait she was asked a question] Oh! No I can't, I'm sorry. But that totally made me want to.

[aenseidhe]

If you have such confidence in your abilities, I need you to use them again.

[traitorously]

Hi, Elfman. Nice to see you too. I'm doing great, thanks for asking.

[But she can be serious too, okay] What do you need, exactly?

[aenseidhe]

[ such a sarcastically sweet smile here before the expression drops completely and its all bizness ]
I need you to return to the sinking of Sinbrilee.

And take Eshai with you.

[traitorously]

Please tell me you're not asking me to kidnap the Emperor. [she'll do it, but come on elfman this isn't even locked]

[aenseidhe]

[ .............. ] Useful as that may be later, no. Una had a discussion with Eshai here. [ le link ] I need you to take her with, but watch her. How many are you able to take?

[traitorously]

[A grin flickers across her face for a second before she clicks through and listens, curious]

Okay, but what makes you think she'll want to come back with me? I don't exactly have the, um. Dignity that Una does.
