Second Unused Utility Belt | Video

[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.

[hellofist]

[.... Aw how sweet?]

Could try. Wouldn't work. Can tell.

[onceandfutureprat]

[That's right, Arthur is nothing but sweet :c]

I thought as much.

It's manageable. With the help of friends.

[hellofist]

[She can see how that would be true. With a huff, she nods.]

Probably right. How was it... for you?

[onceandfutureprat]

The Breach? The Admiral seems to think it amusing to throw my sister at me every time this happens.

[hellofist]

Is that bad? Or good?

[Educate her, Arthur. Take her mind off her sads with tales of your crazy family.]

[onceandfutureprat]

[His family is a bag of nuts]

We don't really see eye to eye about anything anymore.

[hellofist]

[Don't say that out loud, Cass might think they're in danger of being eaten!

Okay not really but still.]

So... lots of arguing?

[onceandfutureprat]

[Arthur would only ever call Morgana insane anyway :c The rest he likes too much]

Actually, arguing isn't anything new for us. We've been fighting since she came to Camelot. She's just crossed too many lines in recent years.

[hellofist]

[Well at least there's that /o/]

That's bad? Crossing lines?

[How does she walk on sidewalks then?]

[onceandfutureprat]

... Yes? She's turned against my kingdom and killed our father, my closest friend and countless numbers of my people.

[Not literal lines, weird friend :c]

[hellofist]

[Wow, yes, that is very bad.]

I'm sorry. That's... terrible.

[She doesn't know a strong enough word for how bad that is, actually.]

[onceandfutureprat]

[The whole of the English language could not cover how bad it is :c]

You see why we don't sit around and chat.

[hellofist]

[That is very accurate.]

Is she... in prison?

[onceandfutureprat]

She's an Inmate here.

[hellofist]

[That's not exactly what she was expecting.]

Oh... Haven't met her.

[Obviously.]

[onceandfutureprat]

Consider yourself lucky.

[hellofist]

Can't be... all bad. Related to you.

[onceandfutureprat]

[Aww that's such a nice thing to say :c]

I wish it were that simple.

[hellofist]

[Hey, they're both proof that sometimes good things come from crap genes.]

Yeah... Families suck, sometimes.

[onceandfutureprat]

Sometimes. But they're still our families. So we're stuck with them.

[hellofist]

Can... be better than, though. Be more.

[onceandfutureprat]

Are you trying to cheer me up now or has your family also tried to kill you?

[hellofist]

[She gives that a moment to think about it before she just goes ahead and answers him.]

Both.

[onceandfutureprat]

I'm sorry.

[hellofist]

Me too. But, still here. You too, still here. We're doing okay.
