Who: Katrina and you!
When: Sept 13-15
Where: ADI HQ, ADI apartments, the memorial room, wildcard
Summary: Katrina makes rounds to assess the state of her Gloucester home base
Warnings: past character death; will edit as needed
• HQ
[ Who's that short-ish young woman walking around the non-restricted parts of HQ, looking at everything like it's hers and she's willing to fight about it? It's Katrina, the angriest mermaid, who has been informed she's been gone for almost a year and now needs to see for herself what's changed.
She ends up in the gym and decides to stay there, training much like she used to. She'll also watch others train, and if there's any advice she can give anyone, she'll go up to them and give it in her usual serious tone. ]
• apartments
[ More wandering and inspecting. Now and then she'll climb a tall tree, the better to see from.
And then there's when she scales the building by way of apartment balconies, making sure it looks like something a strong, athletic human can do. Totally normal! She just wants to get up to the roof. ]
• memorial room
[ She's here to see if the people she remembers are still here, or at least not dead. When she does find someone she knew, she makes the signs to honor them the way she would for her fellows beneath the waves, and sings a short song of mourning for them. Katrina will not respond while she is singing, but she'll be conversational (for her) after. ]

HQ
Katrina!
[Confusion, surprise... joy! Her expression lights up as she hefts the glaive over her shoulder and hurries toward the siren.]
That really you?
Re: HQ
Katrina stays where she is as Mercy approaches her, nodding. ]
Yes. Mercy. Sister. I am in Gloucester again. [ Her gaze goes to the glaive. ] You fight well with this.
no subject
I've had time to learn. You been gone a spell. Were you... walking the world?
[Or just vanished? She'd added the siren's name to her wall at Bonnie's house. It seems she'll need to remove it. Praise Pelor!]
no subject
This is better than shaking hands, and much better than hugging. ]
Not in Gloucester. They say I went back to my home. I do not feel this happen, this... time.
[ She gives Mercy a more appraising look, meets her gaze, and gives a slow nod. ]
Sister is stronger now in body. I see time pass in this way.
[ It takes time to build strength, which proves everyone is right: what to Katrina felt like a few minutes was much longer in Gloucester. ]

Memorial room!
This place has messed with her too many times—voices, images, all sorts of things that were just tricks or lures.
But she still goes to look, and she takes in a sharp breath as she spots Katrina from the doorway to the memorial room.
She doesn't interrupt the song for a few reasons. Partly, she wants to hear it, and that would be rude. But partly… she's not sure she's ready to find out if the siren remembers her time here.
After all, she knows it's possible. But Hunter didn't. And Raine didn't.
Still, it's not long before the song ends, and she does speak up.]
…Kitty?
Re: Memorial room!
Eda. Sister. [ She nods. ] I am Kitty. Katrina.
no subject
I was... starting to think I wouldn't see you again.
[If it were anyone else, she'd outright pull them into a hug, but she's not sure she feels like potentially getting bitten. She does, however, move to lean her forehead against Katrina's.]
no subject
I do not know what happen. But I am here again. [ A slight pause. ] ADI does not punish you for this tail?
[ She remembers the ADI being unhappy with anyone looking non-human. ]

If she doesn't notice him staring, he'll come over eventually, but there's plenty of time for her to stare, back.
Re: wildcard
"Winter. I am here again."
Hi, battle buddy.
Re: wildcard
"Welcome back, Katrina. You've been gone a while."
The year has given him more experience in acting human, though it's also done some damage to that humanity in other ways. Smiles are an effort, but one he actually makes.
Re: wildcard
"They tell me it is many tides." Months. "Almost one year. I do not feel this time go by."

Re: wildcard
HQ! Welcome back
Raine noticed they're being watched. They don't say anything, initially. But watching people is their job now, and they don't recognise the stranger. They address Katrina directly, but keep their distance.]
I haven't seen you around here before. Are you new?
no subject
I am not new. I was here many tides ago. I am Katrina.
no subject
Oh! I think Eda has spoken about you before...if you remember who she is.
[Raine didn't know if it was a good idea to give out their name to random strangers anymore, but considering this person was previously here...Maybe she's safe.]
My name is Raine.
no subject
[ If Raine knows Eda, then they are at the very least not a threat. ]
You know Eda... from same world?
[ She thinks she remembers Raine, even if they were a different Raine than this one. ]
apartments
He does definitely notice the figure in a tall tree even from some distance, and can't help but approach to see if he's... well. If he's seeing things or not, because that face -]
Katrina? [he calls up, once he's within earshot.]
[OOC Note: Steve's had his first name (specifically Steve) stolen from him, so Katrina won't be able to remember it, even if she normally would. If she knew his last name, though, she can remember that!]
no subject
Rogers.
[ Give her a second to climb down, jumping to the ground those last few yards. ]
Yes. I am Katrina. I am return to Gloucester.
no subject
You are, [he confirms.] Have you been back long? Are you all right? Do you know what happened?
[She can clearly choose to answer all, some, or none of these questions.]

apartments!!!
The owlbear is curled up as best as their seven-foot form will allow in a sturdy piece of patio furniture, a heavy wool blanket over their furry knees, a book held aloft in a feathery paw. They drop the book down just a few inches from their face, so they can stare at the newcomer with giant, unblinking, owl eyes.
Silence.]

Rue.
[ Katrina nods hello. ]
no subject
A pleasure, though I am afraid I do not have the honor of knowing your name. You must be my new flatmate, correct?

HQ
Today though, that probably won't be happening, because when she sees who else is there she has to stop and stare in shock.)
Katrina?
no subject
That false Cortana would probably try to fight Katrina, which means that this is the Cortana she's known all this time, the one she spent time teaching her people's language. ]
Cortana. [ She nods, and then signs to her-- ] I have returned here, somehow, after being home for perhaps a minute.
