[network] [video] [open] [after Babadon't]
[Saturday looks like hell. She's showered, at least - her hair is wet and there's a towel around her neck, but her visible skin is covered in scrapes and bandages, and there are bags under her eyes.]
Hi, guys. Just got back from - well, I'm gonna be real honest here and tell you my own memories are a little fucked. Jorg pulled me right outta medical to run escort on some civvie caravan. We ran into a Stuff storm. They tell me it's been like two months?
[She runs a hand through her hair, wearily.]
What have I missed?

Re: video;
[Saturday shifts, a bit of strain crossing her face] I got bruises for days, but nothing broken. Medical does good work, I will give them that.
Re: video;
[ Ugh. Catra grimaces. ]
Like, I also have memories from like, a whole chunk of time at home that I didn't have when I got here? They just hit me and I thought I'd gone home, but then someone said I hadn't been gone at all. So... Hit twenty back in October, but I think I'm more like twenty-one? If my memories are anything to go by. My personal timeline feels all messed up. So let's go with twenty.
[ A weak grin as she tries to joke. ]
But hey now you can't call me 'kid' anymore.
Re: video;
Well, if we're counting subjective time, I think I actually have thirty years on you. Or do pocket dimensions only count if the aging sticks?
Memories from home, huh? Good ones? Something you'd lost, or...?
Re: video;
Don't even talk to me about pocket dimensions.
[ The question is a hard one to answer. ]
...Some good. Some not so good.
[ The memory of someone leafing through her memories, the sensation of electricity shooting through her body surrounded by a buoyant, viscous liquid. ]
Some really good.
[ A grin. Her cheeks color a little and she looks aside. ]
I know Adora and I already kinda made up and stuff here but. We did it at home too. In a really big way. And Etheria is safe.
Re: video;
Fuckin' weird that you don't remember actually being home for any of it, though. What did everyone else see?
Re: video;
[ Bleh. She scowls. ]
As far as anyone else can tell, I never left.
Re: video;
This place fucking sucks. [a weird thing happens, and it's not even polite enough to provide a useful clue? Not for the first time, she wishes Maggie were here.]
How does it know? Like - the degree of control this Stuff has...
Re: video;
[ There's a little frown. Then she seems to remember something important. Catra takes a breath and focuses her attention more fully on the comm in her hands. ]
Um, Saturday? I wasn't the easiest person to deal with when I got here. And you were doing your best to be kind and understanding and stuff, so...
[ She's gotta make this up to a lot of people, but Saturday is one of the ones she cares the most about. ]
I'm sorry for all the shitty things I said and did.
Re: video;
Sorry, you didn't do anything shitty so I ain't accepting it. Bein' full of piss and vinegar doesn't count.
[she gets serious for a second]
If you need to me to say it, apology accepted. But the worst you did was give me attitude, and half the time I deserved it.
Re: video;
[ There's a little smile from Catra. ]
I just... I'm trying to be better. To not be so snappy and shit. So thanks.
Re: video;
Re: video;
[ Sigh. ]
Glad you're back.
Re: video;
Can't exactly say I'm glad to be back, but it's good to see everyone again. An' this place is better then a sandstorm full of fucked up trolly toad things, at least.
