They both switched to--? [ oh wow. bad luck for fortune for real ] That doesn't actually narrow things down for me. But I'll make sure no one suspects you, even if we get caught. It wouldn't be the first time I did things without permission.
[ the actual worry shocks catra for a second before she laughs ]
Well obviously they won't. None of them have even come close to figuring it out this whole time, and I'm not planning to get caught, either. I'm just saying, whether I do or not, what I am planning is for you to win regardless.
[ it's a matter of pride at this point, honestly? and spite. prideful spite. ]
Honestly? What I want isn't anything out of reach for me personally. The boost would be nice, but... I just like winning.
[ she's willing to do a lot for the sake of winning and nothing else. bit yikes. she grins at ambition ]
Besides, if I thought you weren't up to the task, I'd have jumped ship from the get-go. I didn't give my commanding officer any respect, and she basically raised me.
I'm more than up to the task, you aren't wrong. And, sure, it's not like I like being disrespected, but you're... mostly respectful. You're way more respectful than some people from my world.
I used to pretend second best was fine for me... But all I really wanted was to shove it in her face how I was just as good as she was. And you know what? I'm better. And so are you. We're going to show everyone that. When we win.
She's only the best superhero in all of Paris. I guess you could say she's my commanding officer - although really, we're more of a team. She totally adores me, and if she ever finds out about the world I'm going to create when I win, she'll adore me even more.
[ is catra hearing this correctly. is this really happening. she doesnt know what a superhero is but she can only assume it's exactly like fucking shera ]
[Ambition whips out her phone, taps the screen a few times, and pulls up a video of one of the many times Ladybug straight up collapsed the Eiffel Tower to stop a supervillain.
She's watching the destruction admiringly.]
Isn't she totally awesome? I'm just as awesome, too, when I transform.
[ this is still just adora destroying shit when she's got magic and a giant sword, but also, Catra is so #triggered by the notion of transforming she literally has to close her eyes for a second after watching that video and listening to it
maybe... superheroes in chloe's world... are bad............? ]
Pollen... [A tiny fucking bee creature flies out of. Somewhere? Her jacket? Where the fuck does Pollen even stay, we'll never know because Astruc will never let her actually keep the Miraculous permanently. Anyway it flies out and circles around her once.] Transforme-moi!
[ this isn't the worst thing to ever happen to catra because, let's face it, her life is terrible, but it is up there, my dude.
she even has a catchphrase just like adora. this is horrible. still, it's fine. bad people can also have magic powers. (@ shadow weaver don't interact) and chloe might talk big but she's still obviously okay with terrible stuff, so it's more like hordak's weird manipulation bullshit?
yes. this is clearly. what is happening. here. still. she tries to force a grin ]
So the... bee... gives you the powers?
[ is this more or less stupid than magic crystals that are part of the planet. ]
[If it helps, her phone is now autoplaying video footage of her nearly causing a train crash so she can swoop in and save it, because she's a fucking disaster and didn't turn off autoplay.
Anyway, she taps the stupid haircomb.]
Right. It's a kwami. It goes in here, and it makes me even more exceptional than I already was. My power is so great that it literally stops people in their tracks - it's called Venom.
[which
sure does sound like a villain's power, actually.]

That's smart. As long as I win, you still get your prize at the end even if you end up dying.

Wow. It's too bad you couldn't give that as a power in this game. It could've come in handy.
