religion was an interesting thing to the girl. she claimed to believe in what her papa did, though she did not necessarily try to enforce it over her lifestyle or even pray. she felt that everything was happening for one reason or another, though. she did believe that - even if she did not always understand that reason. she felt believing on her own time should be enough. she was already working hard for everyone on the ground, so surely any god or higher being would understand that.

the girl avoided being out in the rain due to her electric elementals. if the environment around her got too wet, they would start to spread in it similar to lightning striking water. she didn't quite know how to control them and she felt it was safer and easier if she just stayed out of it for now. she hoped she could figure out a solution soon enough, though, because it made things much harder. she couldn't even go swimming or even very close to the shore anymore because of it.

she stayed inside of the submarine with flynn until the rain did clear, playing with her new companion and trying to teach him new tricks. he knew his name by now, so now she wanted to see if she could teach him to fetch something for her. it was a process, but they were getting there. both her and the eagle were getting tired of this now, and since the rain had mostly cleared, she figured it'd be nice to go on her walk with him now. she sniffled, coughing a couple of times before heading out.

the beach was her favorite part of the island and it was easier to move around on the sand while her mobility was limited, so it wouldn't take her long to stumble across a couple of figures. her fur was still staticy due to the drizzle and her injuries would glow faintly beneath her bandages. she eyed the two, moving towards them to see who they were. she would quickly recognize fischer, but the other was a stranger - perhaps a new crewmate?

her steps were quiet as she grew close, eyeing fischer's body first. the female seemed to be...unconscious? she frowned, the young girl's features becoming worried. she gulped, trying to take in the whole situation. but, it was clear. she remembered the sight of the dead well. her papa's dead body would never leave her memory. the cold feeling, the stillness. she felt like she was going to throw up.

the sick girl's striking green eyes shot towards the stranger, now becoming suspicious. "who are you?" she demanded quickly, though her strained voice shook. she took a couple steps back, feeling a sort of panic start to trickle in. she remembered death too well. she didn't want to remember. she felt like crying. her breaths became quicker. "wh-wha-what happened to fi-fischer? did you d-do this?" the static around her pelt began to grow slightly with a sudden adrenaline entering her, making small sparks shoot out from her paws.

seeing the female move at her questions, the girl tensed and grew defensive. she immediately felt a distrust towards this stranger, and was ready to protect herself at any movement. a mixture of rage and panic seeped within her and she felt...scared. scared and confused. but then, the female spoke. the stranger knows her name. her voice is...familiar?

she stared in confusion, backing up again. her breaths became sharper. she did not quite know for a fact if fischer's body was dead, but it sure as hell reminded her of death. she absolutely did not want to be reminded of death. either way, fischer was unwell - that much was easy to tell. she needed to check and protect her at all costs. she needed to - the feline spoke again.

goldie's breaths slowed slightly. this is fischer? she has a new body? her head felt light-headed as the adrenaline seeped from her and the female explained what had happened. her stance became wobbly as vandal stood near her and she stumbled for a moment, calming herself down. she felt dizzy, and that much was clear by her stance. she looked to the female's eyes, realizing that she was indeed blind. the girl's sparks lessened and she tried to reach out for fischer, hoping to help her with her sudden vision loss.

"o-okay. i believe you." she said quietly at first, her voice slightly distant as she grounded herself back into her usual more level-headed thinking. perhaps the thought of death got to her too much. she needed to focus back on the important things here. "are you okay? can i help you, at all?"
