paradisa | 022 Summons ❈ Dictated ❈ After the "Olympics"

[Sheena's voice as it comes over the journal is one of not exactly disgust, but perhaps closer to disappointment?]

Uh, I know the castle likes to do these weird changes of a person from time to time, but seriously? I think I liked being a pony better. I mean, come on! I was a cat looking for yarn?! And threatening people for it?!

I'm just glad that there weren't any permanent after-effects.

[She'd hate to go around accosting people for their knitting and crocheting supplies. Aaaaaand, she's not even going to to into waking up curled up like a cat and craving milk.

She does, however, take a deep breath before continuing.]

Hopefully, that's the last time this place does something like that--at least for a while--because I was looking for someone who's familiar with Materia. I found them waiting for me after their owner went home, and though I know a little bit about them, I don't know how to use them.

Is there anyone that does?

[That's as close to asking for help she's going to come, folks.]

[ooc: The Materia were left to her by Reno--her boss. They are Lightning and Cure, but she really has no clue how to use them.]

Oh, did the castle turn you into some weird creature too?

Well, kinda. Last time, I was completely changed into a pony.

This time, I had cat ears and a tail. [And a sort of cat mentality.]

I can't imagine what being a pony would be like...

Heh, I actually had a squirrel ears and tail. I guess it's a good thing we didn't meet during the invasion.

I don't know about too many people, but I liked it. In fact, i was still one when I came back.

[She tilts her head.]

Squirrel ears and a tail? [She pauses.] Yeah, that could have been a problem, since I wouldn't have recognized you as someone I know.

I'm pretty sure you would've tried to eat me. Or turn me into a cat toy!

[She's silent a moment.]

I'm glad that didn't happen, Luke.

[She'd never be able to live with herself.]

[Uh-oh, did he say something to upset her?]

I-I was just joking, of course! I'm sure something like that wouldn't have happened anyway, and if it did I'd be quick enough to run away.

But we're fine now, so it doesn't matter.

[Not really. She just doesn't like hurting people.]

Oh, Luke, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to upset you. I should have realized you were joking.

Yeah, I'm good if we never speak of this again.

[Envision that look of horror, Once-ler.]

I really am sorry! You know I'd never hurt you... [Intentionally.]

[Oh, he can]

I know, I was mostly talking about you. If I'd been a yearn obsessed cat-gir-person I'd not want to remember it or have it mentioned every again, either.

[He could have said "girl"; she probably wouldn't have noticed.]

Thanks, but somehow, I don't think the castle will let me do that, you know.

[Nope. She won't be lucky enough to get THAT as a loss.]

You can sure try. I know I will be.

I'm not sure I can, Once-ler. [That's the way her mind works. She can't forget those she's hurt.]

But, did you have to be right?

[Dude, she's still managing to angst over this...]

[Sheena, stop that angsting god woman]

...Right about what?

[Make her! :P]

About being upset over what happened.

[even if she didn't pull the trigger.]

Because, like it or not, I do actually know you well enough to know what'll make you brood for days?

It wasn't your fault, the castle did it, yadda yadda. You know the spiel, and you probably won't listen to it, but there it is.

I'm not brooding!

[Yes, she is. Sorta.]

I just hate not having control!

[And there's the rub.]

Yes you are.

[Yep, just stating that as a fact there]

And that happens here, you should know that by now. It's how the castle works.

Are not!

[Maturity rears its head, then hides immediately.]

Doesn't mean I have to like it! Or take it all the time!

[With everything she's been through, she's kinda hitting a breaking point.]

Then, I don't know, get mad, go punch a wall or...whatever it is you to to let off steam. Take it from a full-time internaliser, it does nothing good for your mental well being.

[Whoops.]

Um, the last time I did that, I destroyed my room. And I really don't want to do that to Lloyd's house.

But, there are only so many times training and working out helps, Once-ler. And you can still keep things to yourself when you do that, you know.
