[catraclysm]

Aw, you do get me.

[ it's said as a joke, but she expands a bit: ]

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.

[divus]

You can say that again. We're better than any of them think we are.

[i hate what i'm about to type]

I'm going to win, and I'm going to make a world Ladybug would be proud of.

[sHE'S NOT GOING TO BE PROUD OF YOU FOR GETTING PEOPLE KILLED, CHLO.]

[catraclysm]

[ ladybug loves dead children idk what you mean? anyway. that just reminds catra of the path to get into this place, so... that again, huh. ]

Who's Ladybug?

[divus]

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.

[catraclysm]

A ... superhero?

[ 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 ]

[divus]

Yeah. Just look at this.

[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.

[catraclysm]

[ 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............? ]

So you had magic, even before all the god stuff?

[divus]

Yeah. There's this totally ridiculous villain out there who's trying to steal Ladybug's earrings, so she fights him.

Do you want to see?

[NO.

also she totally should have shown her footage of antibug and her giant sword.]

[catraclysm]

[ she shouldn't say yes. she should not? (thank god adora got a magic sword. she'd have lost it if she'd left her after getting magic earrings.)

god, curiosity killed the catra. ]

Sure?

1/2

[divus]

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 link is for the canonblind]

2/2

[divus]

[Anyway, here she is. A bee. A superhero. No one should ever have let her have this power.]

Back in Paris, they called me Queen Bee.

[catraclysm]

[ 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. ]

[divus]

[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.]

[catraclysm]

[ catra watches the video of chloe manipulating to look good and feels better about the world as she knows it

anyway ]

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

[ To Murder, ]

[divus]

It would have, wouldn't it? But apparently my powers provided too many advantages already.

[What with Advancement Opportunity and all...]

[catraclysm]

You say that... but be honest with me, has anyone ever picked Mirage?

[ it's? clearly? unfair to have one power be not as good as the others? duh ]

[divus]

Yeah, actually. It's been used twice now.

[catraclysm]

Seriously?

[ catra, a judgmental bitch, is finally realizing just because she can't think of how to use something, does not mean others don't,

but also: ]

When?

[divus]

This week. I don't think it did much, so we might see them switch to a more useful power next week.

[...]

Hey, Catra. There's another task I need you to do for me.

[catraclysm]

[ ah, judgment vindicated ]

Sure, what is it?

[divus]

Find my other followers and convince them to swap powers to Advancement Opportunity for the last week - it should be the week I host. I can suggest it to them, but only if they talk to me first, and they're not as good at doing that as you.

[catraclysm]

[ oh god ]

I... Alright. I'll try to find the rest of us.

[ SHE HAS AT LEAST... A GOOD IDEA... OF WHO THEY AREN'T? BUT ]

...is there any way I can have a hint.

[divus]

I mean, I already told you we poached both of Fortune's followers in the end. I'm pretty sure one of them said who they used to follow at one of the trials.

Does that count, or do you need another hint?

[catraclysm]

Did he stick with us?

[ she thought he moved on to be Piety's single follower. And by she I mean me. Anyway: ]

There's three I don't know, so...How about just a gender thing?

[ the players dumb Britt have pity on me ]

[divus]

They both did. They figured out pretty quick who the natural winners are.

You're looking for a bunch of guys.
