An Upset Catgirl [Video]

[dictator_ko]

[Ordinarily she wouldn't make a first impression like this. After all, one must show off ones cute side. But right now she's upset. Very upset. So upset her eyes've turned red without her noticing it. Just one of those things from her past life. A past life she most definitely doesn't appreciate, horrifying as her memories had been.

She'd already discovered the Network while trying to Google up the strange number she'd gotten stuck in her head, but hadn't made a post just yet as she read it trying to get a sense of what's going on. She got just enough to realized that this thing was being used by those Numbered folks. She's not sure why it exists or why she can access it now, but she does know one thing: she's upset.]

What's going on? Why am I getting terrible fucked up memories? Why did I get a fucked up knife? And now I have freaky cat ears, too! And I can make a weirdo force field.

Am I one of those Numbered freaks now? Aren't you the guys whose fault it's the aliens invaded? Why'm I one of you now?

And what's with the gross slimy stuff? Is that you guys' fault, too?

It's stupid that we have to be the scapegoats.

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Guess maybe I'm just not much of a cat person.

[dictator_ko]

What?! Cats are adorable! Why don't you like them?

[guitar_case_vagabond]

I dunno, I just don't.

All they do is get hair everything, and they stink!

[dictator_ko]

We can't be friends.

[guitar_case_vagabond]

I don't give a fuck.

[dictator_ko]

But I'm a model, you know.

[She's just fishing for approval... that she likely won't get.]

[guitar_case_vagabond]

[There is no approval here, only Raye.]

The fuck does that have to do with anything?

[dictator_ko]

You should want to be my friend.

[This is Mina's rather self-centered way of saying that she wants to be friends.]

[guitar_case_vagabond]

[Ridiculously enough, she might not even be totally against it. ... Unfortunately, this is the worst possible way to sneak around to Raye's good side.]

I don't give a crap if you're a model, kid. I can breathe in space.

[Whatever... that has to do with anything.]

[dictator_ko]

I was going to allow... you can breathe in space?

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Yeah. I got sucked out into space once and I was totally fine.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Then maybe you'd better stop acting like a Numbered is the same as being a leper, because that's what's gonna happen with us if you keep talking like that.

[dictator_ko]

["Freak," she thinks to herself. But she doesn't say it.]

Seriously? Is stuff like that normal for Numbered?

[dictator_ko]

Oh, fine. It's stupid for us to be treated like this anyways.

[witnessme]

W-we're peaceful in Shepherd's Haven. I won't fight with you. You d-don't know better.

[numberedshepherd]

I've personally had to learn this the hard way, but when you don't want to be a scapegoat, fighting against it by giving people actual reasons to fear and dislike you isn't the answer. That's on reason Shepherd's Haven exists. We're safer because we typically keep to ourselves, and no one will bother us here.

[icy_heavens]

People are idiots and want a convenient target. [Yeah, okay, he's a little bitter.]

[dictator_ko]

This sucks.

[She's really feeling sorry for herself now. But it's not like she intends to reveal her Numbered status publicly.]

[dictator_ko]

I don't want to move again just to be safe. It sucked enough when the aliens destroyed my home.

[And besides, she's not ready to leave her family.]

[dictator_ko]

Says you! I know what everyone knows!

[icy_heavens]

It won't for you if you manage to keep it a secret. You can't make the numbers go away, so you'll have to get used to it one way or the other.

[dictator_ko]

Well, then I'll just keep it a secret!

[witnessme]

Nah you don't. It's not because you're stupid, it's because you're m-misinformed.

[Forced smile.]

[dictator_ko]

What's the truth, then?
