Uh... Is it- working?

[Okay, those are definitely the letters that make up the word uh but the rest of it is just jumbled up nonsense. Still, Cass is just going to trust this thing is writing down what she's saying.]

I'm- lost. I think. Castle is big. In book room. Um, library. [Come on Cass, use the right names for things.] Could use [help] information. Um... tips? Meeting in person... would be best.

[Nothing happens for a minute, but then Cass remembers the important part about introductions: You have to actually introduce yourself.]

I'm Cassandra. Cain.

[If anyone does go looking for her, they'll find Cass poking through the books and possibly looking at them like she's reading them, but once you're close enough it's clear... she's holding the book upside down. Oops.]

((ooc: Cass can't read, so any written replies might give her trouble. Feel free to find her in the library for in person meetings!)

Nobody has ever figured out a way to get rid of their permanent loss, no. And it's not uncommon for you not to know what it is right away. It took me awhile to figure it out, too.

[Curious as she is, Cass doesn't ask what Lana's lost. It's not her place, she has no right to that information.]

Hope what you... don't have now, isn't too sad.

wow i am so sorry for this slow

[ That's not a reaction she usually gets, so it catches her a bit off guard. But Lana has gotten this far in Paradisa with only two people ever knowing about her loss, and they both have long since left and forgotten. ]

It's...irrelevant. I don't even miss it. But some people go through harder times, depending on what the loss is. Forgetting an important person seems to be the worst, in theory.

shh bb it's totally fine <3

[For some reason that makes her feel so nostalgic and Cass doesn't even know why. It's like she misses something, but doesn't know what, but it passes fairly quickly and leaves her just feeling confused and a little lonely.]

Have you... been here long?

[luthored]

Just over two and a half years, I think? ...Yeah. I was here before, only technically 'gone' for a couple months, but I don't remember my time before. The house I live in now is one I had built then, so at least I had a lot of useful information there, much more than the journal could have helped with.
