Send an emoji to learn how good/bad my muse is at that particular skill!

🎵 — singing Cat can sing, and pretty well. She doesn’t normally do it, though. She can hit the notes, if it’s in her range. She’s a little bashful about it, but she’d only be singing around loved ones so it’s okay. 

📚 — reading Cat does read, mostly blogs at libraries. She only finished 9th grade, but her reading comprehension is as high as her skill in the language. She has a world-class understanding because she knows how to read past propaganda and lies that passes for the mainstream media, thanks to her dad teaching her.

🍺 — alcohol tolerance Cat doesn’t go looking for alcohol to drink, and on the rare occasion she’s been with a (good enough) friend having an alcoholic drink she likes to be able to taste what they’re having instead of getting her own, so if she does have any significant amount, she’s very susceptible to it, it making her drowsy or giving her a headache. She did trip and fall down once after having a sweet, fruity tropical drink, but she believes she’s never been drunk. She’s actually curious about what that’ll be like, but like the time she had sake properly, she fell asleep before she got to experience the effect.

The cyborg tried to crush a mosquito as soon as he felt the little bugger engorging itself on his neck, only to end up slapping himself as it flew away just in time to avoid death and live to see another day. He is now lost of some kind of jungle, perhaps on another version of Earth, during the summer season, considering how hot he's feeling right now.

As Proto continues to wander aimlessly in an attempt to find his way back to civilization, he narrowly dodged a shot as the bullet struck a nearby tree, causing a part of the tree's bark to splinter. He then heard somebody shouting in the distance, which he presumes to be Spanish. Since they've tried shooting at him, he guessed that they were recreational hunters, or poachers looking to make a profit out of precious animal parts. No thanks, he is not looking forward to be a head mounted on the wall anytime soon.

(As though addressing an anonymous audience)

"Well of course I love my parents and my friends…."

She takes a couple minutes to think of how to put things.

"I’ll speak of a top 6. I’ve had feelings for more, like in school in Houston, but..I didn’t even talk to them.

There was a boy I was friends with growing up. ..But I haven’t seen him since I was almost 8. ..It’d be really interesting to see what he’s like as a man now. ..He probably has a child who is 8 now.

In Japan there were two great men. First one, and then the second surpassed the first. ..But a long-term relationship wouldn’t have worked out with either of them. And I was still thinking of Ray. ..I didn’t even kiss either of them.”

Still she takes a moment, thinking of them fondly….

"They had..great spirits. Were handsome..very strong, skilled, capable, bright. Admirable." Role models. "Inspirational.

I felt I could gain in capability spending time with them.

They helped inspire me to want to learn the language better.

So I could communicate better in their native language.

They had attractive voices.

One was a time traveler.”

…

"I must mention I liked their hair."

Until her thoughts return to

"Ray."

She becomes slow. She plays with her fingers.

Until she holds them.

A few minutes pass.

"Flirt wasn’t on his level..I mean for what I felt for him."

She becomes more lively. “But he’s a can’t miss experience.

Though if I had, say, my son..as an adult, or ..my future husband there on Stump Asteroid with me…I’d tell Flirt to please not…please, no… I mean, definitely keep your hands and, uh, ..other appendages off my husband, and…I don’t even want to think about him ..coming on to my son.

I can see him doing it though.”

She was going to speak of her future husband, or so she hoped, but paused.

"I will make a…mention also of someone I did not..love, but…

I could admire..for…”

Her eyes stare up and off to the side, as though avoiding meeting anyone’s eyes.

"He had an incredible body. Significant intelligence… Incredible physical ability..movement..skill. A..compelling spirit.

Command.

…

Impressive.”

…But before she finished with Miles..

"Returning to Ray and Flirt, they both had impressive bodies, high intelligence, ..were…

..had a good touch.” Her cheeks gained a rosier tint.

"Everybody treated me respectfully.

All the men I loved were considerate.

…

They all had bright eyes.”

And finally,

"Miles Bentley. …

I’ve felt the best with him. The most right.

And yet I’ve known him the least amount of time.

There’s nothing I’d rather do ..with my life than to be with him.

I look forward to getting to know him.

☼ —— A headcanon about my character’s smile.

✿ a happy memory. ♆ something my muse hates.

((Cat must be talking to Anonymous because she isn’t saying this to Jagwar..

Buut

if.. Jagwar overhears Cat, he’d be finding her during an interlude in the same area as where they met. She is unaware of his presence and he is unable to intervene until she’s finished talking. Cat won’t know he overheard unless he says anything to her about it.))
