Cat Spirit 7! [Action]
[As expected, joining the mallynap canonupdate bathtub brigade is (1) Taokaka. One depressed Taokaka. If you've ever wanted to see a depressed Kaka, now's your chance as the journal catches a small glimpse of a wet, dripping Tao face down in someone's filled bathtub. Ragna's, to be specific. Which looks kinda like she's dead. No bubbles at the surface...oh boy. It's a while of silence before she finally moves around, sloshing water over the sides and just...dictating 'meow's over the journal.]
Meow...meow...meow...
Meow...meow...meow...

[Action]
... Wait. A. Minute. WAAAAAAAAAAAIT A MINUTE.] You... Hurry up, already!
[Action]
...what was this...strange feeling?
Now, Noel couldn't help but feel worried. This...something wasn't right. She steps forward very cautiously, to where she still wasn't in a close enough proximity to Litchi.]
Wh... What's wrong?
[Action]
[Except that it isn't. She can barely see at this point; the world is mainly shadows except for the twin bright blue points not that far off. She has to snap out of this and get out. It's not even because Ragna asked anymore; panic is swiftly building up and demanding that she get as far from the Azure as possible before the echoes can get any louder or the pull any stronger.
Focus, Litchi. Focus!
And it's starting to clear... The room brightening just enough for her to see clearly by, Litchi all but books it out the door.]
[Action]
[Action]
I can't believe that she'd come over here. [... Like that.]
[Action] 1/2
Would Ragna have any idea?
She eyes the man as he enters the other room, and sighs deeply, pulling herself away from the door. Noel glances over to Tao and gives her a sorry smile.]
Tao, I'll be right back. I need to ask Ragna about something.
[Action]
[Action]
Ragna also notices her, or hears her, wanting to ask something, so Ragna just groans under his breath before turning his head back to her slightly. While still trying to dry the floor with the towel.]
What?
[Action]
What happened back there?
[Action]
[He's being a little nasty about it, not to mention avoiding the question in total. He doesn't want to talk about it all, and he wants to fume about the situation while in the tub. Being a jerk. B|]
[Action]
Something felt... wrong. Didn't you notice?
[Action]
Just stay away from her.
[Action]
But what was wrong with her?
[Action]
What do you think? She teamed up with the wrong people.
[Action]
[...maybe he doesn't know. But Noel could almost feel like there was something wrong with Litchi, something beyond her betraying them.]
[Action]
[Action]
"Something was wrong with her magic when she returned," Goroh said. Litchi was at the Gates with Terumi, and now... it seemed like she was almost sick. There was something more to this than met the eyes, definitely. And if Noel really was the only person noticing this, then maybe she should pay a visit to Litchi in a few days. If she got to the bottom of this, if she could just talk this out with Litchi and worked things out... maybe things could be okay with them again. If Litchi needed help, then maybe Noel could help her somehow.
Sorry, Ragna. Noel has made up her mind.]
...I'll leave you alone. [And she turns to leave. LAST CHANCE TO SAY SOMETHING, RAGNA.]
[Action]
[Action]
Ragna... did you notice if there was something off about her?
[Action]
[He's avoiding looking at her right now -- focusing on what's left of the water and blood -- but what he says is what he believes. He'll leave it at that.]
[Action]
But... what she did back in our world. It's... It wasn't like her. [Noel's trying to make a point here but failing.
this is not a dustloop speculation debate][Action]
[Action]
No response. She doesn't know how to argue that, but her resolve to talk with her is still strong. If anything, she just wants to know why.]
