[ she's patient! she shifts a bunch on the chair, full of anxious energy as usual, but she waits. she's willing to give them some leeway. ]

Were they your abilities originally? Or did you just have some extras lying around? [ sniff. ] You didn't really have to give us anything.

[gatonina]

Beginning to reconsider after interrogations. Not yours.

[regardless of whether they had to do this, black shadows is not sure it has gone over so well.]

Just what we could impart to you. Best way to put it.

[disreguarded]

[ she frowns a bit. ]

Are people are giving you a hard time? [ black shadows specifically, she could give a fuck about the other two. ]

[gatonina]

Sometimes. Can handle it.

[they are, presumably, a grown void.]

[disreguarded]

[ yeah but ]

I'm sure you can, but who? [ >:( ]

[gatonina]

Unimportant. Will be all right.

[they try to make their voice sound as reassuring as possible, through the distortion.]

[disreguarded]

[ she huffs, wrinkling her nose, but. she'll drop it for now. ]

... Why do you think I'm interesting?

[gatonina]

Know about you and previous events. You wanted to help. Protect. Even in that kind of place.

[black shadows stops for a moment, and she may get the impression they're looking her over.]

Impressed. Wanted to choose you.

[disreguarded]

[ oh. she shifts in her chair, with a smile she tries to hide. ]

I'm trying to do better at the whole saving people thing. I just hope you guys are right and we're not gonna have to do it here.

Since you know about me, can I ask you questions about you?

[gatonina]

Hope so too. Do not want it to be needed.

[their hood tilts at her question.]

May ask, yes. May not be interesting answers.

[disreguarded]

That's fine. I'm used to the hosts not giving me solid answers.

Do you have hobbies? Like what do you do to pass the time when we're not all here?

[gatonina]

Like to tend plants. See to the grounds. Cook, sometimes.

Enjoy watching films, as well.

[disreguarded]

Oh, shit, so is that why you were telling me to wait with the garden stuff? Do you have one you're holding out on me with? [ tease, tease. ]

[gatonina]

Take care of trees and grass, as well. Not always garden.

[disreguarded]

Mm. [ she tilts her head back. ] You like movies. Horror movies, I assume.

[gatonina]

Yes. I do.

[they sound pleased that she seems familiar.]

Have watched many.

[disreguarded]

Yeah, I recognized a bunch on the little list. Me and Hunter watched The Thing and The Exorcist at the House. Do you have a favorite?

[gatonina]

[she gets what sounds like a sort of distorted hum]

...no specific favorite. Don't like ones with only suffering. Unenjoyable to watch. Pain for its own sake.

[disreguarded]

[ awww. ]

I don't like those either. I didn't really get to watch any that weren't horror, but... I figure the shit I like best would be where the heroes still win in the end. Kinda unrealistic, but still.

[gatonina]

My favorites also. Prefer to see situation overcome. Dislike bleak outlooks.

Maybe unrealistic, but still like them.

[disreguarded]

[ hm, maybe she's seeing why they picked her for their team. ]

Kinda tracks on you liking gardening, too. Flowers and trees don't usually have bleak outlooks. [ she rests her chin in her palm, elbow on her knee. ] Okay, here's a harder one - have you talked to any of the hosts we've had in other places? Like Master Blue, maybe.

[gatonina]

Yes. Rewarding to care for them, and to see growth.

[it's things like that.]

No contact with anywhere else-- only here.

[disreguarded]

It's always been just the three of you?

[gatonina]

Only us, yes. Have lived here a long time.

[disreguarded]

So - how'd you guys hear about us coming, then? If you haven't contacted anybody outside?
