Outside the Campus' North Gate, Wednesday Morning

[seeks_truth]

She had heard the first shriek when she'd left the dorms complex for her morning jog. There had been dead eels on the lawn, but she had not paid it much heed.

Then there had been the second shriek, as she approached the gate. It had given her pause. What was out there that was, apparently, throwing fish at the school

Kathy had skipped out on the Banzai regalia today, since the invasion was limited to the island. And the last thing she wanted to do was get eel guts out of the white cotton (or whatever the fabric actually was) of her gi. But that was hardly going to stop her from fighting off screaming flying eels, ha! Even without her customary rainbows, she was still a colorful blur as she fought off the eels.

But as much fun as fighting off flying eels was solo (and yes, she was having fun, shh! Don't judge!), Kathy guessed it was going to be even more fun joining up with a group, so when she saw Cassandra and company coming, she called out to them. "Hello! 'Ware your left!"

If there's already a mage, a tank, and a rogue, does that make Kathy the Inquisitor?

"...That sounds like a pretty hardcore upbringing," Kathy replied. Carrying a carcass? Kathy's parents hadn't even let her look in the casket when one of their elderly neighbors had died. "Were grocery stores not really a thing for you guys?"

"There just weren't any up there," Hanna said matter-of-factly. "I grew up in a cabin near the Arctic Circle." She put one of the creatures she'd been examining down, then looked a little embarrassed. "Hardcore is good, yes?"

"Hardcore is good," Kathy assured her. "I mean--I whine about how cold it is here. I don't think I'd be able to survive life up in the Arctic."

She held out her fist to Hanna. "That totally deserves a fistbump."

[This past week has been hell on my schedule, sorry! I'll understand if you'd rather drop this thread, just wanted to respond!]

"Fistbump?" Hanna held up her own fist, curious but smiling. "Thank you!"

[np at all, and this is a good place to leave it-- I know you've got other threads dangling. :>]

Kathy gently bumped Hanna's fist with her own. "Fistbump," she explained. "Now let's kick these eels into sometime next week, huh?"

[Awesome!]
