[Recently Katie was kidnapped by the Malnosso. The usual story, really. Only she found herself not minding so much, because mostly all they did was shut her in a room with a box of chalk and blackboards and pens and paper and television with all kinds of cartoons, and music, and they told her to do whatever she felt like. The only thing she hated were the shots, and she doesn't know what those were for. But they were meant to be for her own good, so they said. Weird and made no sense.
Today, she finally understands what they were trying to do.
Might have helped, if they weren't who they were.]

Dear Jack,
I seem to have forgotten everything, so I'll be home in a few minutes to look under the couch cushions. It's always the last place you look, isn't it? Don't worry, I'm still alive.
Love, Silvertoes.
Dear everyone else,
Could the person who gave me a hand the other morning come find me? I'd like to thank you for saving my life. If you don't have time, don't worry. I'll find you instead.
Love
[...screw it. She leaves it there. She can't go home yet-- the glamour is newly awakened and she can still feel it spitting and sparking and sometimes dying, and she can't properly control it. And right now she has a lot to think through. Not the least of which being she died.
So she'll be out in the forest until further notice. Angry and upset and thinking she's going to kill someone for doing this to her, or maybe she'll just give in to the urge to cry instead. She's only nine. Going on three hundred.
Someone's paying for this.]
((ooc: You are more than welcome to stumble across her in the forest; however, keep in mind that if you do, you run the risk of your character being enchanted. That means seeing the world the way Katie sees it, and that includes seeing all of your echoes and the echoes of others. For more information, see Katie's permissions post.
...and fill it out while you're there, if you wouldn't mind. |Da
Just to set the date right in everyone's head, this is the same day Ragna is tearing up the forest.))

Katie turns and stamps her foot down-- the one she's favouring-- and stares at him pointedly. Burning a little glamour to heal the smallest of twists, and at least that part of her magic works, and it's such a waste but if it gets him to go away...]
Who said anything about being hurt? Maybe I just want you to feel sorry for me.

[Spark.
It's almost like a faulty wire, she thinks. Like the cord in dad's workshop that she nearly pounced on once with all its pretty distractions before he shut the power off and yanked it out from the wall. The moment she thinks she's pushed the tide down enough, keep the balance in check, her glamour flares out across the clearing.
Katie goes stock still.
And Vash can hear a song.]
no subject
Katie, please, I- [Since when did you have ears. The song - it's not fading away. He just can't ignore it anymore. He turns towards the sound of the song and there stands a woman smiling at him.]
R-Rem? [Can this really be real?]
no subject
Katie starts backing away when his attention is gotten by Rem. Normally, you'd get a warning. But she knows how much Rem means to you and she just. Doesn't want to answer questions. Not now. Not when she remembers how much that hurts.]
no subject
Rem... [He turns back to her smiling face. She'd understand wouldn't she? That they needed to go together and find Katie. Only when she opens her arms offering a hug, Vash can do nothing more than melt into it.
Damn it! He needs to find Katie! He has to pull himself out of the hug, but it's alright. Rem was here now. When they find Katie again, she'll know how to talk to her.]
