Please speak softly for they will hear us [OPEN]
Who: CT (liesdontfindyou) & you!
What: Catch-All for CT
When: Late September through October
Where: Various places around town
Warnings: Trust issues up the wazoo, nudity in the hot springs prompt, more specific warnings in headers whenever they come up
1. And they'll find out why we don't trust them [enforcer's office]
CT has always been a bit of a workaholic, but over the last few weeks those tendencies have escalated until those working at the Enforcer's office will find they encounter her there at all hours of the day—whether she's strictly meant to be on shift or not. She always gets her actual duties done, but outside of those she's spending a lot of time reading up on anything accessible (sometimes files, sometimes things she's checked out from the library) about the Leeds, the Pine Devil, the Demons, and refreshing her notes on the Cult of Nyarlathotep. She rarely remembers to eat and only seems to drink coffee with any regularity—though the keen eyed might notice her nose crinkling when she does, as if she doesn't really like it—which probably says something about her sleeping habits, too.
It's also impossible not to notice how... chilly, things can be when CT and Cerrit have unavoidable reasons to be in the same room. She avoids his office in a way she didn't used to and all essential communication is run through a third party. By the start of October, many otherworlders on the force will probably have an inkling as to why.
2. Speak up, dear, 'cause I cannot hear you [northwest hollow/around]
Part of CT's daily routine is a run, usually in the morning before she heads into work. It's grounding, a holdover from her life before, and it means she stays familiar with the area. The weather taking a turn for the cooler hasn't changed this whatsoever, nor does the early morning fog.
Even the sudden onsets of rain don't seem to deter her. In fact, more often than not, when the skies open she stops only to turn her face to the heavens and let the rain fall on her for a while.
3. I need to know why we don't trust them [hot springs]
Even CT can't keep going forever—if not for lack of trying. Occasionally, aware of an encroaching crash in a way that's less healthy and more treating herself like a faulty machine that needs troubleshooting measures, she has to take a break of some kind.
One way she does this is taking a trip out to the hot springs. There, she strips out of her practical clothes completely, makes sure they're actually put aside safely, and slips into the water. This is true regardless of if she arrives to an empty spring, or is joining someone in the water—a little nudity means nothing to her after years of co-ed military locker rooms and, though she does keep one knife in grabbing distance just in case, she's as close to relaxed as you'll ever see her as she lets the water warm her.
4. Where can I turn? 'Cause I need something more [oak & iron]
The second way she institutes her begrudgingly obligatory breaks is by going for drinks, on the rare nights that she actually leaves work on time. She favours sitting at the bar, where you can always sit beside her and she'll smile or nod an acknowledgement, but if the bar seats are full and your table isn't she might ask if the seat's free.
The atmosphere is good for her, in short bursts like this—reminiscent of a simpler time, of station bars. She dresses down for comfort and she's got a good handle on her own limits, drinking only enough to loosen up and maybe be just a little bit tipsy but no more. It's during these nights you're most likely to catch an unguarded smile, or a laugh, or a genuine conversation with less of a mask up.
5. Surrounded by uncertainty, I'm so unsure [Wildcard]
She can easily be found on patrols or in the library, too. Hit me or find me in the discord to plot/if you want a custom starter for anything.

CT gives the girl a quick once-over as she tends to any new face, paranoid ex-military as she is, but it's a little more casual than it might be any other day.
She nods her head to the side. "Not as long as some, but it's been a handful of months for me by now. Welcome to Pumpkin Hollow, Rey. Everyone calls me CT."

"Thanks, CT. D'you like it here? I know there are loads of planets, but I've never heard of one like this one before." Her eyes were wide with wonder.
no subject
"It's... nice enough. A lot different than what I'm used to. I'm also from somewhere with a lot of occupied planets, but none of them are this far back in technological development." She's gotten used to the lack of it, but she still feels the lack, especially given her speciality in coding and the like. "Or, well, magical. But I can't say it's not been a relief to have my feet back on solid ground for longer than a couple weeks at a time."
