kate catchall
kate deserves everything and to win the entire game
[ she's seated in the gate area, and the moment kate comes anywhere close, she'll pat the chair next to her. ]
Kate, right? Won't you come sit next to me?
Kate, right? Won't you come sit next to me?
[ kate pauses, seemingly surprised at the sudden invitation... ]
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
I wouldn't have asked, if I wasn't. A little soot won't hurt me. You were the one who got the case opened for us yesterday.
[ she pats again, just once. ]
[ she pats again, just once. ]
Oh... you saw that?
[ well... okay. she'll come over and sit. ]
You are... Roxana, is it?
[ well... okay. she'll come over and sit. ]
You are... Roxana, is it?
It was a little hard to miss after hearing all the glass shatter. [ which roxana was more than fine with happening. ] It was helpful to many of us.
I am. It's a pleasure.
I am. It's a pleasure.
Oh. I'm glad.
I don't think I could handle going much longer without a proper change of clothes.

It looks like it's a lot of effort and maintenance to upkeep. Your diligence must be noted. Does anyone help you with it at home?
... Yes. I have a... an attendant, Emilico. She helps me with everything.
Emilico? How interesting. That's close to my attendant. Her name's Emily.
Do you miss her?
Do you miss her?
R, really?
... I do. She's everything I wish I could be, sometimes. Strong and energetic, warm-hearted and generous, with a beautiful smile...
Would you tell me what Emily is like?

[ a beautiful smile.... kate, do you have a crush on her? roxana would not ask this question, but i want to know. ]
I don't know you yet, but I do think you're underselling yourself. I can tell you care about her.
Emily is diligent and trustworthy. She gives her all in her work, to the point that I had to forbid her from doing too much without permission. Some people in my family liken her to my shadow.

... Hehe. It's the reverse for us. Since I am a shadow, Emilico is expected to be my "face"...
It seems you care about your attendant, too.
It seems you care about your attendant, too.
Your face? If you enjoy her company so and wish you were more like her, does that mean she doesn't quite match that expectation?
[ she doesn't ask as if that's a bad thing, more as if to confirm she's understanding the concept. ]
She is more useful than most.

Hm... True. In a lot of ways, she isn't quite what a "face" should be... but I think those are also the qualities I like most about her.
... More than most?
... More than most?
You don't want her to be anything like you, do you?
[ there's an observation she can make, but she won't voice it. ]
My family doesn't usually keep people around who aren't.

... I just don't want her to be pressured to be someone she isn't.
You're from a noble house, I take it?

That's sweet of you, but it sounds like the people around you at home wouldn't agree with that.
[ if there are roles to play in kate's world. ]
I am.

I am.
[ after execution, kate is headed towards the relaxation area. as always, it can be hard to tell what she's feeling, but she does turn her head to look at roxanna. ]
... Were they like that for you, too? Before, that is.
[ in the other game. ]

[ roxana is seated and nods in greeting more than in answer. ]
The colors weren't quite as on display, but it was similar enough.

I am, too, but I imagine my experience isn't typical.

You saw, didn't you? The ones that surrounded Boothill today.
Would you try to go against them?
[ whatever powers or authority that "they" or "them" are. ]
I think we all have our unique circumstances, but some things are the same—like having attendants.

[ a nod. ]
I heard that the colours... gave you powers? But that they could become unstable...
