( 002 ) video

[ The video clicks on, and it's obvious enough that Cat's not particularly happy about choosing to do so, but given the reason for one of her rare appearances on the network, she thought she might as well show her face. There's a bit of a pause before she finds it in herself to actually start talking as opposed to just looking a bit grumpy and reluctant, which is of course her standard approach to everything. Doesn't matter that Cat genuinely wants to get something out of this, she just hates having to ask for help. ]

All right, seeing as for once we're not being fucked around by red text or demons or brain-washing or fatal illnesses and shit, might as well make the most of it, yeah? [ She peers at the feed searchingly, pursing her lips. ] Bound to be a couple of you out there who can swim, I reckon. There's a pool here - I want to learn how. Not got much use for swimming back home, s'why I never learned, but I have a chance now, so it stands to reason I could give it a go.

Any of you lot think you can teach me?

[ She's very careful not to use the word "help", already feeling weird for how much she's talking when she usually kepts to the minimum amount of words required to make a sentence. With some amount of restraint she manages to stop herself from saying she wouldn't mind a couple of offers since some of you lot were bound to be terrible teachers.

Fair warning, Cat herself would be a pretty fucking terrible student.

Yeah, [he's absent minded at first, picking the conversation right back up.] Sometimes we got to swim in the pools, too.

[From some abandoned sports center or another. Needless to say those never lasted long...]

If you want.

[YOU DON'T.]

Unless you already got someone else to do it for me.

[Not half bad at all. And Miles just snorts to himself because they surely just don't know Cat well enough.]

How many of them are doin' it to get lucky?

[He doesn't sound intimidated, sorry. Not from a safe distance, anyway.]

What? Just making sure nobody's wasting their time.

Wanna say that again when it turns out I'm right?

[wow and then noodles realized this thread got lost in the blackhole of her inbox and referred to herself in the third person]
