[ hello yuffie! kate has changed into her regular clothes at this point. no more concealing her non-face!
except it might not be obvious immediately because she's in the theatre, digging through the crates and boxes below the stage. ]
... This is no good, either...

Really? I was thinking that we were more fortunate than most of the others...

[ yuffie is out running around all the locations fastly with her giant shuriken in her hand. she means business! and is obviously looking around for someone ]
You asshole! You can't just disappear!
[ she hasn't noticed kate yet, which is weird of her ]

Yuffie...?
[ kate's also out and about as yuffie happens to come running into the vicinity. ]
Who are you looking for?

[ kate has been silent since the end of execution, her body language giving very little away.
but after some time, it looks like she's returned to the graveyard, looking silently out at where the battle was just fought. and finally, she speaks. ]
They didn't leave any bodies, did they.

[ yuffie's also been quiet as she's approached. she has learned from context cues to be quiet when other people are quietly mourning the dead, and... well, frankly, she's mourning them too. ]
Nope. Just disappeared, like everything else.
[ nevermind that bodies disappear in ff7 unless it's a dramatique cutscene ]
... You okay, Kate?

That's right! So much happened since then...
[ our weekend horrors! but she nods. ]
... Understood. After everything that's happened, I can't be satisfied with being powerless here.

[ she left pretty abruptly to go get some space from the festivities, it seems. she isn't talking to herself, but she is pacing out by the beach. ]
Yuffie?
... Yes, I'm all right. Everyone was acting strange... It was a bit overwhelming.

[ wow! what a lineup today!
if yuffie checked the bulletin, she may have noticed a trail of dark soot on the ground that leads away from there... to a thin, dark cloud of smoke hanging over the cemetery. sitting on the ground between the worn gravestones is a familiar shadow. as always, her face is unreadable.
she seems almost still and lifeless, merely sitting there without moving or making a sound. until finally... ]
... Is someone there?
[ she turns her head to look through the haze at yuffie. ]

[ back at the house after the execution ritual. ]
It looks like it's over for now... but we weren't able to find all of the answers in time.
[ our ichiban... ]

[ hello yuffie, it's a lovely day to be unceremoniously yanked into a memory-void!
they see a memory.
as a note: yes, kate is speaking in the third person in this clip. that's not just a weird translation thing. your character can absolutely notice that and think it's weird. ]

[ she's seen a few of these memories now, so it's not a surprise when this one pops up. some of this context she does understand from previous conversations with kate -- but seeing it is something else entirely ]
[ a morph..... is that what she is? she used to be something else? now she "mimics a human". this leaves her with more questions than anything else. she's quiet for a little. she also doesn't understand why kate is talking in the third person here. she kind of grapples with what to say here. then, just straight up?: ]
Uh, Kate. What was that all about?

[ hi yuffie......
after trial, kate will have come back to the house to take a very long bath and change her clothes so she can be soot-free for like ten minutes until something happens to stress her out again.
but if she crosses paths with yuffie, she'll stop to look her over. ]
Yuffie...
... Have you had a chance to calm down?
[ ... how does yuffie look. ]

[ she's so cute.... ]
[ and she nods. yuffie has cleaned up too. obviously still looks splotchy bc villains have been making her cry the past two days but is calm ]
Hey, Kate.
... I'm sorry about earlier. [ not that she did it, but she doesn't want to add to kate's stress ]

[ after the execution and camille showing up late with starbucks, kate's just sitting in the common area of their house. she might be easy to miss, wearing a black dress, but she's present and seemingly just trying to catch a breather after the weekend's rollercoaster.
if yuffie comes near, she'll look up, seemingly not too lost in thought to see and speak to her. ]
Camille... I thought, when they took her away, that she'd...

[ i love all of kate's fits waahhhhhhhhhh ]
[ yuffie does come near. comes to hang out ]
.... They can't hold her forever. Just until after the weekend stuff is done, I think. I've asked about it before, trying to contain monsters. It's not sustainable.
I thought she'd die, to be honest. That someone would.... you know. [ like yuffie did ]

I don't think it was quite as terrible as last week.
But, yes, I'm not sure what we should have done better... Gale could have used more caution when pressing Caelus. And Robin... I'm not sure if it's better to pressure a monster into showing itself or not, but walking away with feelings of uncertainty is unpleasant, too...

[ well. kate was a sooty mess after execution today, so she returned to the house to change clothes.
later, she can be found sitting at the table, kneading and rolling a ball of soot with her hands like it's a ball of dough. there's a bucket of yet more soot at her feet; apparently filled from sweeping the floors. she doesn't seem to notice yuffie come in. ]

[ kate's at one of the cabins, setting up for the party we're going to have! wowie we just had our fuckin mass confession and it's time to think less about that and more about making s'mores. how's your day going, yuffie? ]
Yes.
[ she's probably holding them now... in a trembling hand. ]
So... they're really...

[ a while after their house meeting, kate's over at the scawwy library by the pyre, facing the books and sooting in quiet reflection. she's changed into an outfit with a hat, but if it's supposed to block the soot, it's not doing it very well, as the smoke just rolls out from under the darkened edges in a haze.
Even Rondo... ]
Even Rondo... ]
[ well. yuffie's knocking on her door after trial, and there's a slight stirring within, and then... ]
What is it?
What is it?
[ well. after going out to explore (also fit check), kate comes back to find a stack of letters on the table inside the house. ]
Oh. Did more letters come in?
[ she sounds completely calm and casual, but her emotional state is basically a dark abyss of misery and anxiety. ]

[ she sounds completely calm and casual, but her emotional state is basically a dark abyss of misery and anxiety. ]
Oh, Yuffie.
[ vibes are... pretty bad! but the weight of her emotions seems to lighten a little when she sees her. ]
I'm doing okay. How are you?
[ vibes are... pretty bad! but the weight of her emotions seems to lighten a little when she sees her. ]
I'm doing okay. How are you?
[ i'm assuming this is before she is very eepy! but yeah while the stretcher gang runs yuffie to the swamp and back, kate's just vaguely around to fuss uselessly.
afterward, she'll come to see yuffie again. ]
Yuffie... are you all right? How are your injuries? Do you need anything?
[ radiating worry. so much that her usual misery vibes can't really be perceived. how's our yuffie looking... ]

[ we can probably assume this. anyway she's around, just sitting up, trying to make an effort to stand... then eases back down into sitting. she seems quite out of it, but looks up at the sound of kate's voice. seems a little confused??? ]
Kate... Are you okay?
[ ok yuffie ]
Kate... Are you okay?
[ ok yuffie ]
[ damn
she's just sitting here.
in tattered rags stained in red and black. but otherwise, serene. she lifts her head just a little at the sound. ]

[ sometime later, when yuffie returns to the haunted house, she will find there is a spooky ghost with no face ooOoOoOo
kate's still in her penguin kigu and she's looking around the space. admiring their cute decorations. checking the couch for leeches. she looks up when she hears yuffie come in. ]

[ after trial, kate went back to the apartments to clean up her sad sooty self and change into clean clothes. but then she's going to look for yuffie. ]
How are you feeling? I'm sure all of this has been overwhelming...
