I wish I could get you all to see Cue more. It's a... great. ...Thing.

Dude's super shy though.

[ the sludge that refracts across her wound drips down to her cheek. ]

(Don't be like that.)

ᎩᏋᏓᏐፚᎯᎡᎧᏉᎯ @thatsyourcue.bsky.social · 1d

...

Not that I'm the same way, or anything. Duh.

[ uh huh sure rachel okay ]

Just... I dunno. I've seen people like you before. I can, um. Stop prying about it if it helps you.

[ she'd know all too well. the only reason she isn't putting on airs is because cass basically strongarmed her into honesty. ]

...
It's scary when it slips. Or someone sees past it.

[ nod nod. ]

'Cuz the inside is something you can't tell if they like. Or if you like. Believe me, I get it...

Buddy, we're all fucked up here. There's not a normal person in your circle. Or mine. Or anyone's.

[ if a bit roundabout, it sounds like her sincerity (a brutal thing that she loathes) did at least something good here. ]

But I get it. Your mask is too big to fail, right? S' how it's meant to go?

ᴄᴀꜱꜱ ꜱᴀɪᴛᴏ @nightphantoms.bsky.social · 1d

[ ...god. she feels bad now. she frowns a bit, chewing on the inside of the cheek for a moment. if nothing else, the concern is sobering, it helps her get out of her own head.

a long sigh. ]

it's alright. i, uh. kinda... get weird about being called on things i do that i don't talk about.

ᎩᏋᏓᏐፚᎯᎡᎧᏉᎯ @thatsyourcue.bsky.social · 6d

... Mn.

[ okay, well. it's nice that SHE isn't at fault, but it's almost worse that cass IS. she... kind of? gets it. self loathing is a monster, and that's probably the hardest thing to work around. ]

I... okay.
Just- you... I don't know. I didn't know it... was like that, I guess.

[ staring down at a pie tin at the entrance of the mill. it's covered in tinfoil, and... that's about the long and short of it. no note, no intel on what it is...

tilting her head like a lost puppy. ]

[ yeah man no shit. she fidgets anxiously, not quite sure what to do. *should* she try and make some sort of comforting touch? try and course correct? ...it's out of her league. cue's never taught her how to heal anyone but herself. ]

I'm sorry.

[ "you can kill me if you want," she thinks. ]

[ oh no. ohhh no, rachel knows. she thinks it's her fault. god fucking damn it all. she takes a slightly shaky breath, letting it out in an attempt to keep any sort of composure. it really only makes her look worse. ]

no. no, you... didn't do anything wrong. god forbid you ask a simple question.

Hey, Cass?

[ her tone isn't quite flat, but there's something missing. some would call this "sincerity," but she calls it masking.

...
she struggles. hesitates, and shifts uncomfortably. this is... not great, she realizes. a heavy topic. too heavy for her to handle. ]

Uh — d'you...

haha. would you look at that.

[ her smile looks so genuine even still. even if she knows her game is done. even if she knows she's been found out. ]

no, i'd probably... suck at it, haha. really bad.

[ she hates this. she hates this. she HATES this. ]

ᎩᏋᏓᏐፚᎯᎡᎧᏉᎯ @thatsyourcue.bsky.social · 6d

[ heartbreaking: she's being seen as it is. all the time forever. ...there's a pause, as she finishes speaking. ]

...
Shaking hands like those probably won't help you play too well, huh.

[ she nearly asks to take them, but that might make cass jump straight out of her skin. nooo thanks. ]

titans. right. sorry, i don't really... play a lot of newer stuff these days. so much to catch up on...

[ she hates worrying rachel like this. but she. doesn't feel good. she doesn't like revealing pieces of herself accidentally like that. she doesn't like being Seen. ]

ᎩᏋᏓᏐፚᎯᎡᎧᏉᎯ @thatsyourcue.bsky.social · 6d

[ oh she HATES that. if this were earlier in her life that might genuinely ruin her whole development. she just. stares for a moment, not quite sure if it's worth pressing the topic...

...
egh. she's not gonna be good enough for that. ]

Uh – yeah, that's... the one with the Titans I think.

nah, you're alright. sorry. anyway, which one is frontiers again? that's the... kaiju fight one? eheh.

[ ...what the fuck, how does she do that? she looks so unbothered. ]

Cass. It's fine. Promise.
