[ 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...
.... 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 ]
.... It's not her fault. Not really. [ quietly ] Honestly, all these afflicted people... they're victims in their own way. I don't really blame her.
[ she didn't kill lucas for vengeance, and it didn't bring her any closure or satisfaction. ]
But the problem is... she's going to kill again if we don't do something about it. The overseers told me they'd tell us the second an alternative is available -- but every time I ask if there's any other way to deal with the afflicted, it's always, "No, you have to kill them".
Mmhmm. It's not like I want her dead either. She was really just a pup-- [ oh, no, stops herself and flinches ] She was being used by something she couldn't control.
Don't worry. I'll tell you their answer. You know I'm always straight with you.
'Course. [ yuffie is pretty blunt with her feelings and thoughts at all times, but she's also just not on board with what she feels is coddling. she thinks kate is stronger than what perhaps people give her credit for ]
Now I wanna ask you something. That scroll you showed me last week.... did you find anything more like it?
But I did ask the overseers about it after. They said that it seems to be forbidden knowledge, normally known only to the upper authorities of the cult.
I don't know, either. It's inconvenient to have to withhold things... whether it's to avoid leaking information to the cult, or to avoid disrupting a magic ritual, or any other reason...
[ there's also that yuffie really wants to know but she hasn't recovered to the level of yuffiness that she would whine and complain about it like normal ]

[ 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 ]

... How do you feel about that? Are you... okay, with her being back?

[ she didn't kill lucas for vengeance, and it didn't bring her any closure or satisfaction. ]
But the problem is... she's going to kill again if we don't do something about it. The overseers told me they'd tell us the second an alternative is available -- but every time I ask if there's any other way to deal with the afflicted, it's always, "No, you have to kill them".
no subject
... I see. Do you think that she will, then?
It's just... we haven't tried it yet. Restraining someone who's affected.
no subject
She will, if given the chance. It's contained for now, but it'll come back.
[ .... ]
Well... I'll talk to them tomorrow. We've never had a monster known to us after Sunday, so we can at least look into it.
no subject
Please tell me what they say. I'm afraid for her, but if there's anything we can do, I want to know.
[ clenching her hands tightly... ]
... and if there isn't, I want to know that, too.
no subject
Don't worry. I'll tell you their answer. You know I'm always straight with you.

Now I wanna ask you something. That scroll you showed me last week.... did you find anything more like it?
no subject
No. But it did sound like there could be more. Someone else might have found something by now.
no subject
[ she knows kate didn't want to say, before, but.... maybe now? ]
no subject
But I did ask the overseers about it after. They said that it seems to be forbidden knowledge, normally known only to the upper authorities of the cult.
So I truly hope we'll find more like it.
no subject
[ how ironic bc i have something for sharing now too ]
Me too. I mean, I'm not gonna push you for an answer or anything, but I'm hoping we can find more of these.
no subject
I hope someone will find something.
[ and they did so yay ]
no subject
Me too.
[ yayyyy ]
