frilly | Entrapta Private Convos

It's not a contest to see who's nicer.

[ . . . ]

Did you... Want to talk about it? [ Either how she's feeling or - whatever that blatant past trauma was. ]

If it were, you would win. [ just saying. ]

I'm not sure. This competition is taking quite the emotional toll, I'm not sure how to handle it.

[ she shakes her head no, but also to dismiss it. she's not here for a friendliness debate!! ]

I think that's probably true for everyone. It's been a lot to go through in such a short amount of time.

[ madoka: i'm not here to not make friends. ]

Things have escalated to a point I haven't imagined.

Newt... I felt like he could truly understand me, though. Maybe more than anyone else here.

[ it's the opposite. madoka shows up to the cutthroat competition like: i'm just here to make friends, not win! :) ]

I'm sorry. It's hard to lose someone that understands you. And it's hard when they do something that you don't like - something you didn't think they would do.

[ i said not not make friends!!!! ]

I didn't believe anyone could, before I came here. At least... not human people.

[ robots are great though :/ ]

[ what up im cola im 28 and i never learned to fucking read ]

Why is that...?

[ dw cola none of us know how, least of all me. ]

[ also, it's time.... for tragic backstory. ]

My.... friends, on Etheria... They had difficulty understanding me, too. They didn't like me, because I was different from them.

That's what Catra told me.

Not understanding someone is different from not liking them... But...

Were they mean to you?

[ poor entrapta!! :( ]

They abandoned me in enemy territory.

[ so yeah, a little mean,,,,, almost as if plot convenience dictated them to. ]

That's horrible!

[ and it was definitely on purpose! ]

What did you do...? [ because presumably enemy territory is dangerous!!! ]

I was waiting in the vents for them to come back. Then Catra found me.

[ .... ]

She told me I could belong with her.

[ gay. ]

I'm glad that someone found you... So you weren't lost, there.

[ me, banging on the wall between ic and ooc knowledge: but did they know!!! did they know you were there!!! my child!!!!!! ]

[ why is someone banging on the wall when she's trying to share her life's story wow. ]

She's helped me a lot. With my research.... I've made so many strides thanks to Catra.

[ hmmm ]

But she was in the enemy territory. So she and your friends were - enemies...?

They had a complicated relationship. Frenemies? I think that's the term for it.

[ she made a shipping chart. ]

I guess things like that happen sometimes...

[ Madoka has certainly witnessed her fair share of Frenemy magical girls. ]

[ the drama of magical girls and also princesses. ]

Yes, it's been a little confusing to untangle. But Catra has never steered me wrong. And... she accepts me.

That's good. It's important.

She sounds like a good friend. [ which, based on Madoka's observations of Catra from afar, is surprising. ]

[ she's a tsuncat. ]

She is. And, thanks to her, I've made many strides in my research. She is very reliable!

[ gay. ]

She helps you with your research?

Yes, she's found my First Ones' tech! And a runestone! She's fantastic in every sense of the word.

[ gay ]

That's amazing.

[ even if Madoka's understanding of what those things are is limited... ]

[ it's for the best, boo. ]

It is amazing. I hope that you have friends like that, Madoka.

Yeah. I have some really amazing friends, too.
