prepare for trouble (make it double)

Who: Anyone
Where: Hotel lobby
When: Day 313

[ Hello everyone! It’s your Daily Zrael, but with a twist this time.

Kohime lounges floating in midair, tail flicking -- and then bares her teeth in a grin. Behind her, Sabre is reclining on the ceiling, tail flicking idly. Somehow. She just seems to be defying gravity up there.]

A long time ago, I did a monologue on how to tell us apart. Oh, but wait -- wasn’t that Sabre? But who can really tell the difference, right?

[ Kohime(?) straightens up, dropping to the floor, and pulls her hair into a ponytail as Sabre often does.

Oh, wait. ]

Guess what? You all got duped. How embarrassing for you. I mean, so many of you hate one of us but not the other-- and when it comes down to it, you can’t even tell the difference.

[ She breaks into laughter that’s just slightly too triumphantly giggly to be a proper Villain Laugh(tm), oh well. ]

Thanks for your participation, though!

[And, from the ceiling, “Sabre” pulls her ponytail out, leaving her hair loose, and chimes in:]

I figured we’d pull off our little challenge, but man, some of you –– seriously? Come on. I’m disappointed. There were even some close calls, there –– and I definitely don’t want to here any “aha, I knew it all along!”

No one is gonna believe you. No one. But hey, bonus challenge: which of us is which now?

[She laughs a little, tail swishing, and drops down next to Sabre/Kohime/SeriouslyWhomst and leans on her shoulder.]

We’ve even made it easy for you, this time~

For the Mistletoe Post, “hissterics” was actually Kohime-as-Sabre, and “purrnicious” was actually Sabre-as-Kohime because cats :3 ))

It's lose-lose here. I have sort of, like, given up on trying to make sense of some of that political bullshit.

[purrrnicious]

Uh, yeah, I learned that my first few days here.

Welcome to the "Production", the unitmate you've never met is a psycho who killed some guy, now everyone else is allowed to kill you for it and feel all heroic about it.

[420blazeit]

It's not worth it. And what's right and wrong down here means shit. But I remember her, vaguely. At least things are a bit better on your new unit? A lot of people seem to like avante anyway.

[purrrnicious]

Yeah. I'm not a different person –– I just have an easier time surviving because I'm on a more popular unit.

[420blazeit]

I know. But how has it been? Are you happier?

[purrrnicious]

I guess? Avante's more. . .

[She visibly searches around for what to say––]

Uh, genuine, I guess. Most of them, anyway. It's less like they're putting on a show all the time.

[420blazeit]

avante is definitely more open about their feelings too. Both good & bad, so that can make it easier to know how to, like, proceed with certain stuff... instead of feeling like you're walking on eggshells. I'm glad you're doing better with them.

[purrrnicious]

. . .

What's an "eggshell" and why would I walk around on it?

[420blazeit]

It’s an expression. It basically means that you had to take extra care of basically everything you ever did, *ever*.

[purrrnicious]

BARiTONES wasn't like that.
