001 - No cat puns

A: What's yours is mine

[If she's going to be stuck here, Catra figures she might as well look around. Whatever measures might have been taken to keep her out, she's managed to work her way into your space while you were gone, and she's made herself quite at home, lounging peacefully and looking quite annoyed when you return, bearing her teeth and hissing.]

Hey! Get outta here!

B: Stars

[Now that night has finally fallen, Catra seems entranced by the night sky, staring up at the stars in wonder. She doesn't realize she's not alone, jumping in alarm when she finally notices you, yelping and tail poofing up to twice it's usual size.]

Hey, watch it! Don't sneak up like that! [She bristles a little longer before her shoulders relax a little, looking back to the sky.] ...Are those really...stars?

C: Network

[Catra scowls at the screen, eyes sharp and ears pressed low.]

I don't care about you or your stupid planet, so you send me back right now, you hear me?!

[OOC: If you want to continue the TDM threads here just reply with a link to your last comment, or if you want to start over reply as normal :) ]

What, am I wrong? [Not that he had any idea how a cat-person aged, but she didn't seem that much older than his brother to him. Still, the teeth are enough of a warning that he hangs back a little, hopefully out of biting distance.

Her admission does surprise him, though. There weren't a ton of opportunities for stargazing in the cities, but still...] None at all? You grow up underground or something?

[heeeyadora]

You don't look that much older. [She grumbles and her tail continues to twitch behind her.

Still, her gaze flicks back to him at his question and she shakes her head.] No. Nothing like that. We just...don't have them. They disappeared a thousand years ago. There's nothing out there but the moons.

[measuringdistance]

[Ha, okay, yeah, this is a good kid. He's decided this entirely by virtue of the fact that she doesn't think he looks almost 40, like some brats he's run into.]

Well, too bad we're not on my planet. I could point out a couple constellations for ya back there. [A blatant lie, but who's gonna call him out on it?]

[heeeyadora]

[Well, see if he still thinks that when he learns what she does back home.]

What's a constellation?

[measuringdistance]

They're like, shapes the stars make? [He considers for a moment, then snickers.] Or at least, shapes some old people decided they make, and the rest of us just pretend to agree with 'em.

[heeeyadora]

[She scoffs.] Sounds pointless. [Still, she squints at the stars overhead, trying imagine how people might see shapes in them.]

[measuringdistance]

Oh yeah, totally pointless. Guess they got bored easily back in the day. [He follows her gaze, humming a bit.] So, spot anything up there? Bet you could call dibs on some new ones.
