[ONI Freelancer York had defined Catherine's mission parameters as 'explore and survive'. The latter was made ridiculously easy since the castle provided basic necessities in the blink of an eye. Boooriiing. The former was proving far more interesting, given the sheer variety of residents, and the fact that she'd never before in her life seen a

[Well, there's a locked door labeled as being home to an Agent Washington at room 1103. It might be worth checking out for Kat. No signs of the owner outside. he's busy with some project or another inside.]

[inmylight_comdr]

[Locked doors were obviously put there for her to practice on. There might be the slightest bit of hesitation at 'Agent' on the name plate, but it ultimately doesn't stop her from picking the lock anyway.]

[Normally, she'd have tripped one of Washington's locks with ease, but as a new recruit it takes her quite a bit longer, but she's determined. That lock is going down.]

[dontpatr0nizeme]

[The amount of time is the only reason Washington notices that he's got an attempted break in on his hands. but it's not obvious enough to be Maine, which makes him curious. Once she finally gets the door open, there's a form in the same kind of armor York has waiting.] Is there a reason you're breaking in here, kid?

[inmylight_comdr]

[She's in the process of just letting herself in when she sees and hears him, and immediately snaps to attention and salutes. Ohcrapnotagain]

Sir! Just ... practicing my infiltration, sir! [Which was mostly true. The fact that she was just generally curious about such things didn't help matters.]

[haki]

[ it maybe while she's picking a door or not, but have a boy walking up behind kat and nearly shouting a: ]

Hi! What are you doing?

[inmylight_comdr]

[She leaps around at that and immediately brandishes the simple lockpicking tools she'd acquired form the castle as an impromptu weapon.]

[A moment later, seeing as it's not an adult, she relaxes a fraction.] Infiltration. [Like, duh.] What are you doing?

[haki]

Me? I'm just walking around---[ leaning in close to inspect her lock picking tools ] Oh! Usopp knows how to use these too.

[ luffy straightens up again and points at the door kat was working on ] Is there treasure inside or something?

[inmylight_comdr]

[Catherine lets him inspect the tools, but keeps a tight grip on them.] Usopp?

[She glances back at the door as he mentions it, and then shrugs.] Could be. Won't know until we get in. [Apparently you've just been drafted. She's used to training with a company of about three hundred 7-8 year olds, it's been a little lonely here. She turns back to her work on the door.] Keep an eye on the hallway, I'm nearly there.

/late (iz ok?)

[Pippin is checking out the rooftop, since Colette kindly recommended it, and just as she said, the view is amazing. He's currently peeking over the railing when Kat arrives. There is a brightly colored pinwheel in his hand, his arm draped out into the air to catch the breeze so that it spins wildly. He spots her and smiles]

Hello there.

yay! (iz absolutely ok!)

[inmylight_comdr]

[Catherine had to check out the roof, if only because there weren't any buildings in Camp Currahee this high. Seeing someone else is here, she wanders over to stand next to him and peer over the edge with little trepidation.]

Hello. [She turns her attention to the kid next to her. He's pretty oddly dressed, but then again so far fashion was probably about the least weird thing she'd seen here.]

[sonofpaladin]

Quite a view, huh?

[inmylight_comdr]

Yeah. Only time I've been this high was in a Pelican. It was pretty bumpy, you couldn't really tell stuff much. [She pulls herself up to sit on the ledge and dangle her legs over.]

What's it like where you're from?
