Well, nobody IC knows exactly what happened to Vyotia, so. There’s that whole debacle.
18. Things they’ll never admit
Sorrja will never admit that she needs a moirail. She’ll admit that she’d be nervous about being one, and not being able to do her job as one, but she wants people to think that it’s not a huge deal because she isn’t in need of one, when she really, really is.
For Jolett because the mood and everything just suits them. “There’s a starman, waiting in the sky... don’t blow it” also would be something Jolett would be anxious about, blowing the chance!
Cake - Short Skirt, Long Jacket
This one is for Sielan because the song describes a girl Sielan would like, but the description is also very fitting of Sie.
Cascada - Everytime We Touch
Sorrja absolutely loves Cascada, and this is The Cascada Song. The message of the song is absolutely something Sorrja would relate to, not that she’d be so willing to admit it because she knows it’s cheesy.
Cigarettes After Sex - Please Don’t Cry
This is a Food Library lifespan differences song. :3c
Pentatonix - Rose Gold
For Road to Bro Dorado! Man Idk what to say other than quoting it “We could be diamonds, we could be classic, we could be stars, we could be rose gold” SO IT’S A GOOD PALE SONG. Especially if you take rose gold to be The Pale Jewelry Color.
Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You
This one’s actually for Trash Boat. I chose it because it’d be something Sorrja would find herself thinking, even though their situation would be more “I hate you”.
Sorrja’s response to panic is to get all extremities as close as possible so she doesn’t lose them and to leave. She’ll hyperventilate and bolt for any exit she can reach, god help anyone in her way. A big, important thing is also making sure that whoever she’s with is safe or LEAVING WITH HER. She’ll haul her friends away whether they want to be or not.
Sorrja has problems with black hearts, Quanin hates pity and sees it as WEAK TRASH. This would be the most pitch-seeming red relationship ever in terms of displays and public views. I’m not sure how Quanin would like it, but Sorrja would shower her in compliments, and not only sweet ones like “ubububububuuuuu~ you’re so cute” but stuff that would hopefully make Quanin feel confident. Point out her strengths in ways that show her pitiably. Sorrja wouldn’t get the whole visceralchemy thing, and if she saw the murderbasement she’d be like “w/e, as long as none of MY friends are down there. you do you, babe” which is sort of awful to encourage. Quanin may not get Sorrja’s hobbies either, and might not like Sorrja’s tendency to flirt, even if she doesn’t mean to do it.

A disgusting mess for everyone involved. Quanin resists Sorrja’s efforts because she is NOT WEAK and she’ll be DAMNED if she’s going to be pitied like that. Sorrja is horribly insecure in the pale quadrant and would be in constant crisis mode because “OH MY GOD QUANIN LISTEN TO MY ADVICE OR YOU WILL END UP DEAD” and two dead moirails is NOT something Sorrja wants to cope with. Plus neither of them probably see the issues that need fixing as a problem. Quanin wants to open up bodies and never be in a red relationship? You do you, just fill your bucket and play Operation all you want as long as you’re safe. Sorrja wants to fight and has a crippling fear of clowns? You’re strong enough to win those fights and who WOULDN’T hate clowns? They’re fucking crazy. One or both of the girls ends up maimed or dead bc together they’re a TERRIBLE pale couple that doesn’t do the pale thing.

Better than pale. Quanin and Sorrja both meddle in each other’s black romances because they KNOW the quadrant so much better than the other one does. Sorrja makes snide comments about Quanin and her duels and her penchant for blackflirting, and Quanin snarks back about Sorrja’s concupiscent muddling and her choice in kismates. Sorry Djagor, you’re a target here. They may listen to each other better here though, because they DO see that they both have a lot of experience with the hate-quads. Maybe even enough to where they have a subtle signal for “dude, no, bad idea” that they use and honor. They both feel safe because they’re both strong enough to break up a pitch fight gone awry, and because they’re both confident in the black quad.

Petty squabbles over shoes, hair, fashion, and eventually caste that leads to brawls. The first few times it’s fun, they enjoy themselves. After that it gets old and Sorrja stops being pitch-flirty. Or Quanin moves on to another partner. They can only exchange blows so many times before they get bored and fizzle out. Shockingly low risk for murder though? I can see them being like “hey FUCK YOU-ahh why bother? This isn’t working. Wanna get a coffee and laugh at kids or something, I just can’t do this.”
