"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 shrugs.] Hey, you can't even remember what it is. I can back out all I want.

[traitorously]

[She makes a disgruntled noise] No, I don't like that one. How about...you give me your time?

[fatedchaos]

[She squints at Catty, a look of confusion on her face.] But you already have my time?

[traitorously]

Yeah, but... [She tiptoes her fingers along Vanessa's calf] I want to keep it. [Don't leave her ;A;]

[fatedchaos]

[Oh... Sob. She's quiet for a moment, running her fingers through Catty's hair again, twisting the strands around them.] Okay. You can keep it. [She doesn't want Catty to leave her either.]

[traitorously]

[She scrambles up to press a kiss to Vanessa's cheek, and then grabs her by the hands, tugging her up] Come on, let's go!

[fatedchaos]

What? [Vanessa stumbles to her feet when she's suddenly tugged up, another look of confusion on her face.] Go where?

[traitorously]

To test things! If our powers are going wonky, we should find out.

[fatedchaos]

[She should be worried. And she is.] How are we going to test this, exactly?

[traitorously]

[Breezily:] Dropping off high places.

[fatedchaos]

[A squeak.] You're insane. There's no way I'm doing that.

[traitorously]

That's fine! You can watch me.

[fatedchaos]

[!!!!

Vanessa tugs on Catty's hand now, pulling her to a stop.] Are you insane? No way. I'm not- [going to watch you die again.]

using random icon funciton btw because what is loading on dial up

[traitorously]

[Catty hates being left hanging, so she takes a peek at what Vanessa had been about to say, even though it's harder than usual. And then she rolls her eyes] Not from any deadly heights, jeez. Just - time travel level heights.

b-but, Catty-chan.......

[fatedchaos]

[What, hey. Get out of there.] That still hurts a lot, you know. [She's going to end up being dragged into it either way, isn't she?] Yeah, okay. Fine. Let's do it.

[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?
