For Aya, this book about Gotham.

For Stephanie, lots of chocolate.

Arthur, the king one, he gets new sword and these dolls.

If it's okay, can everyone else have some food? Everyone should get something...


[Public Video]

[Cass has set the communicator up so it points at the large frozen lake in the CES and once she's sure it's recording, she grins and takes a few steps back.]

Watch this.

[Turning away, she runs for the lake and jumps onto the ice, sliding across on her feet. Apparently, she's not letting the lack of ice skates get to her. Once she comes to a stop, she turns back to the camera and starts her way back.]

It's fun! Everyone should... come try. Can let in inmates, if you promise... to be good.

(ooc: feel free to comment with spam if your character is a warden! Cass will let any inmate in so long as she can tell they're not there to cause problems.)

Comments

[hellofist]

Yes.

[As bad as they can be, Anya is exactly right. Anything is better than the things Cass came from and she'd rather suffer them with the support of the people she's met here than ever go back to that.]

What do you think... of the barge? Like it?

[fridgetothefire]

I do like it. It's another chance, right?

[She doesn't necessarily believe that the Admiral's goals and his stated goals align, but whether he cares about second chances is irrelevant: the Barge is one, for her. And that's what she wants most. Not in a moral sense - she doesn't care about redemption. She just wanted an escape. And this is a better one - so far - than the death she thought was coming.]

[hellofist]

Yes. Somewhere safe.

[It's not so much her own safety that Cass worries about. Being here, staying here, means everyone she cares about will always come back if they die. Sure, it's still terrible and it still feels very real, but at least she knows it's not permanent.]

[fridgetothefire]

Yeah. Hard to get safer than resurrection, right?

[This is a complete lie. Not being able to die terrifies her, though she's happy enough here that she just tries not to think about it most of the time.]

[hellofist]

Exactly. Mostly worried for friends, though.

[But why is she lying, is the question. It's interesting, but ultimately none of Cass' business, so she keeps her wondering to herself.]

Just learned about... snowball fights. Want to have one?

[fridgetothefire]

I'm not very good.

[It doesn't sound defensive, but it's the preemptive lowering expectations of someone who has more pride than victories to her name. Pietro always trounced her, of course, and Cass looks far more athletic than she does.]

But if you don't mind, then I'd love to.

[She hopes her family's absence will make it less bitter. Can she just play to play? She wants to, but she doesn't know if she has it in her.]

[hellofist]

Not about... being good, or winning. Just want to have fun.

[She bends down and scoops up some snow, balls it up and then hands it over to Anya.]

Grew up not... allowed, to do this. Making up for it, now.
