[ Hello, if you're here, this is a voice testing / general purpose meme thread post for Catra. Feel free to pick a prompt, or ask me to write something specific if you don't like any of the ones on offer. If your character is from a different canon, feel free to assume they're in a Basic Unspecified Dreamwidth JamJar Game unless you'd like to specify otherwise. ]

#1 - this is our "get along" shirt
[ Somewhere, somehow, you and Catra got handcuffed together. How? Up to you. Maybe you captured her for breaking the law and lost the key. Maybe they just magically appeared. Please do not make it a sex thing.

The handcuffs seemingly cannot be broken. You'll just have to learn to get along. This is not easy, however, when Catra is currently trying to claw them off with her free hand and dragging your hand along for the ride. Watch you don't get scratched. Those claws are sharp. ]

#2 - catty day care
[ Some idiot decided it was a good decision to have Catra babysit a bunch of toddlers. It is... not going well. To say the least. At least two appear to be trying to pull her tail, and one is crawling on her head and biting her ear. Catra is hissing mightily, tail as fluffed up as they come. ]

Listen up you bunch of emergency rations! [ Another one stands at her feet asking to be picked up, another one sitting at her feet and crying, another one wrapped around her leg like a koala. They seem to be taking no notice. ] Get off me! Get! Off!! I'll kill you!

#3 - steal
[ Whoever you are, where ever you are, Catra just swiped your drink, or the drink of someone else nearby you! (Let's be real, it was probably a kid.) Was it coffee? Tea? Cola? Slushie? It doesn't matter. She's merrily making her way away, off through the crowd, not making any attempt to hide or run. She sure is brazen. ]

#4 - snoop
[ Perhaps there's a rustle of leaves, or you see a telltale silhouette of ears in your periphery vision. Well, whatever it is you're doing, Catra is spying on or following you. Question is, what are you doing that deserves being snooped on? Or... were you just going about your everyday life, and Catra is just being a weirdo? ]

#5 - idk leave a prompt!
[ live wildly, choose your own adventure ]

I'm smart enough to see that you're clearly getting desperate.

[purrsistence]

Are you brain-damaged?

No, you're right. This was clearly all a part of my master plan. I will now haul you all the way back to the Fright Zone on my own as you fight me the whole way there.

[ The sarcasm is so heavy you could do deadlifts with it. ]

[pommeldora]

Oh, Catra, you're sooo strong and controlling!

[wait what]

[purrsistence]

[ Wait what indeed

Catra jerks back as if burned, eyes wide with alarm ]

What?

[ Her voice actually cracks on the vowel. ]

[pommeldora]

Ooh, kitten, that is a good look for you. Very gratifying.

[purrsistence]

[ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the penny drops.

There is a deep, deep growl from Catra's throat as her expression turns mad, and she yanks on the handcuffs once again just for good measure. ]

Don't do that.

[pommeldora]

Oh, you used to like this. What a shame.

But I must know, how did you manage the cuffs?

[purrsistence]

I like it when you're funny, genius. Not when you're-- doing whatever that was.

[ Flirting. ]

And I didn't! I just woke up like this! Don't you think I've got better things to do than handcuff myself to She-Ra?

[andscene]

[shifts, wiggling their tail at Catra]

I wasn't about to question your judgement.

[purrsistence]

[ Irritated tail lash, but seemingly instantly mollified as soon as they shift back into lizard form... ]

Then don't assume I'm that stupid.

[andscene]

[except for how you totally fell for it . . . they don't say]

Stupid? Darling, no. I'm a professional. Speaking of which—

[they start to shift again, their arm going black and amorphous so they can slide out of the handcuffs]

[slide out of the—handcuffs? . . .]

[andscene]

[HEY, HANDCUFFS]

1/2

[purrsistence]

[ It's still weird seeing that up close-- ]

[purrsistence]

[ Huh. What just happened? ]

... What are you waiting for? An invitation? Get us out of these already.

[andscene]

—what's your hurry? Got someplace to be? What's wrong with a little—bonding time?

[purrsistence]

Of course I've got someplace to be! In case you hadn't noticed, this whole operation is being run by me!

You think Hordak is running the joint? He doesn't even know what half our army is even doing at any given point in time!

[andscene]

. . .

[huh]

Out of . . . curiosity, kitten, what was the last little chat we had?

[purrsistence]

Are you losing it? Whatever. You were telling me all about how you had those idiots wrapped around your little flutter-fingers and eating out of the palm of your hand.

Speaking of, aren't they going to miss you if you're gone too long?

[andscene]

. . .

[sideways blink]

[andscene]

Oh, you worry so much. Don't fret your little head about it. Everything is under control.

[purrsistence]

Somebody has to! Sometimes it seems like I'm the only person in this whole army who actually understands we're at war!

[andscene]

Come now, kitten. What's the point of doing anything if you can't have a little fun with it?

[purrsistence]

The point is to win!

[andscene]

And isn't winning supposed to be . . . fun?

[purrsistence]

[ Pause.

Oh. Right. Yeah. Winning is supposed to be fun, isn't it? Weird.

Catra looks mollified for a moment as that sinks in, but not happy. ]

... Yeah. I guess.
