[Today, Cass is dressed like a normal person. She's sitting in the cafeteria with a mug of tea, perched in a chair with her knees drawn up to her chest and her oversized sweater pulled over them so she's just a blob of blue fabric with arms. Even the hood is up. With her chin on her knees and her eyes on the tea, she speaks to the comm quietly.]

Had all the words. Could make them, if I wanted. Could write. Talked normal. Was normal.

Couldn't see bodies talking. Didn't need. [Her fist comes up to rub at her temple.] Makes headaches, now.

Does that... happen a lot? Was confusing. Was not fun.

It's just that I've had so many people look at me like I'm a crazy person before, you know? And it's not like I want to see these things.

[hellofist]

I know.

[She's used to those looks, too. They hurt.]

I'm sorry you... see them.

[She waves away the concern with a gesture of her hand.]

It's alright. It is what it is--and 'what it is' is a pain in the ass. Sometimes they can be helpful, but most of the time, it sucks.
