[localgirlbecomesobsessed]

The gang reacts to episode 13

Olivia would react like the MC did so I didn't add her into it ;)

Not proofread just my thoughts as I went along.

Xena •_•

Her worst nightmare…working with Frostheim again 😞

The chaos duo become a trio, she only agreed to attend class cause pro Nic was like Xena 😞stop skipping lessons ffs

She’s also so curious about dio but it is like prying teeth out and even Kaito won’t tell her anything, she tells Leo and they add it to the huge list of mysteries that Darkwick holds.

She is also surprisingly good at anomalous medicines which is why she gets a free pass away with skipping a lot.

Xena 🤝 Luca thirst for knowledge gang

Xena when she realises she has to do another mission with Frostheim: are you SRS rn 👁️👄👁️ shawty (Luca+kaito) say sike rn

She is texting Leo and Sho live updates with all the new info she’s getting as well.

When she realises it’s Lapona/france she decides to 1000% not be a translator for them and promises herself to keep her mouth shut.

Feels more at ease when she realises it’s an actual investigation.

Xena 🤝 Leo giving eachother live updates and making fun of Thoma whilst they investigate him

The outfit included a metal strap that wraps around her thigh so she wouldn’t have to outwardly use her cane; Thoma tells her it’s so the people attending the ball won’t pick upon a weakness(it’s lowkey in case she tries to hit someone with it.)

Doesn’t mind the outfit this time, even though it’s white and that’s just asking for it to get stained. They did also get her long sleeves to cover her arm tattoos as well, Thoma saying they can’t have her appear as a vagastrom dissident when she’s meant to be an attendant of the king.

Xena🤝 Jin wanting to stay in the limo+not wanting to be there or around anyone at all

When her and Jin go to talk to the prince, she immediately screws up and replies to him in French, she purposefully ignores Jin’s stare as they continued the convo.

She introduces herself normally but in French; cackles at Kaito’s smooth talking. Starts getting excited about the case when they mentioned the mirrors as it piqued her interest.

“The girls into guys with snark attitudes” was an @ at Xena as well for her relationship with Leo(she’s catching strays just because Kaito can’t get a date.)

Literally tries to escape with Jin to the room but Thoma stops her…purposefully moves in the way of the stranger to get the drink stained.

Xena staring unimpressed as the kyklos comes onto the mirror •_•; 🪞 inwardly shes a lot like the mc but she’s refusing to show it, especially when she’s at the ball~the breakdown can wait.

Immediately picks up the weird vibes between Jin and Thoma; she doesn’t trust Thoma at all but has a tense truce with him due to his relationship with Alan but it’s a very tense and on a thin line type of thing.

No one call tell Xena’s being serious when she says it scared her cause she says it with such a deadpan face as she eyes Jin suspiciously.( clocks the mirror anomaly getting him)

When she meets jin on her way to the vagastrom dorms; she’s annoyed that her chill evening walk and eat time was being disrupted but curiosity overtook that.

Literally calls Thoma an idiot to Jin’s face as they walk cause why would you go the same night your king looks at you with an off energy 😭😭

She’s mentally adding the clash information crumbs to her board.

Doesn’t acc think Thoma is the spy but keeps quiet about it for the moment as she doesn’t have enough supporting evidence and it’s still mega shady.

Leo 🤝 Xena knowing everything and gathering all info on Thoma.

Xena outwardly sighs when Thoma brings up the breaking and entering

She was actually impressed with how quick Thoma adapting to Jin’s arrival.

Thoma has to awkwardly stand there when he says he’s going to walk her back to her dorm and she’s like this is my dorm I have a room here.

But also Leo is like oh 👁️👄👁️🫶🏼you’re both gonna keep me up all night and Xena’s like think before you speak Mon Cher

Xena being dragged into convo by Luca happily talking French to her (I hc they slip into it when they talk to eachother)

Xena adding Kaito’s pendant to the list of mysteries but also get a bit protective of Kaito cause she doesn’t like the vibes of Marius.

Then the prince is found dead and she’s like ah my time has finally come.

Immediately stands back to observe the family and notices how Marius isn’t saying much but the other two siblings are one talking to eachother and trying to get out as soon as they can~ she was going to say something but then Thoma throws a wrench and announces that they’re paranormal investigators

Xena’s face when Thoma asked if she wanted to go back and not investigate a crime scene 👁️👄👁️

She was at her happiest investigating the grisly scene, documenting and updating Jin (via text) and Thoma about the discoveries irl; goes full research mode into curses about mirrors, especially like the one found next to the prince. Immediately tried to pry the briefcase away from Thoma to find out what's in there.

Although, Xena is sympathetic for the princess' situation, the curse and the multitude of deaths, her eyes are startlingly sparkling as she searches through her baggage, Thoma eyes her in concern but ignores it.

Xena accumulating evidence that it's Marius especially after the princess said she didnt expect Marius to come and that they had a terrible relationship. She actually shares with Thoma her suspicions and he just hums in thought and and gives a vague reply much to Xena's annoyance.

Xena is trying to figure out what's going on with Thoma, trying to think of why the fuck Thoma moved from vagastrom to Frostheim, it didn't make sense to her and as she keeps trying to unravel the mystery of the clash it's just driving her crazy.

Xena is mega concerned for Jin, like he does not seem mentally well and she's like should you not call a therapist or something? •_•

Professor Nicolas (next to Dante) is one of her favourite professors at Darkwick; inwardly cries when Thoma asks her to come to Frostheim cause she just knows she's about to be inbetween a couple's dispute.

Xena mentally adding all the information onto her clash conspiracy board as Jin and Thoma have their confrontation.

Afterwards she has to pretend that she had no idea that someone clearly pinned the ghouls ahainst eachother, 'geez golly Thoma you dont say '•_•-the only reason she's actually believing what he said was due to the fact she knows Alan wouldn't do anything nefarious (or she just trusts Alan a bit too much.)

Xena's deadpan face as Thoma told her he's entrusting his king's heart to her, unsettled Thoma deeply and he didn't want to show it but he regretted entrusting her immediately. Rather a cryptic smile it's a grimace.

Xena when her prime suspect ends up dead 👁️👄👁️

10000% knew that Prince Hugo was dead (detective instincts be strong) when confronted with the dullahan she immediately knew what it was, she's watched Durarara, feels guilty for letting Thoma take the hit and is hating the fact she doesn't have her cane with her (it's not like she can use a judo move on a bloody headless horseman)

Sends it to Jin anyway, even though this isn't her first rodeo, wants confirmation and to keep him involved and informed on the situation (she does not want him to feel more ostracized than what he already feels)

Xena has locked into the same info as Thoma- they're excitedly chatting about the facts (three truths of the case) Both of them are surprised at how well they work together, when they both go to confront the princess with the situation, they rattle off their deductions, the only thing they didnt agree on was the princess killing Hugo, though Xena wouldnt of guessed suicide.

...Until Jin texted her back and she was like omg ofc.

Saves the girl but left with a tragedy, when the chaos duo-Thoma and her are in the vault they discuss the events and Xena finally puts this case to rest.

Does think to visit Jin to check up on him but Thoma shoos her off.

Immediately goes to Leo and Sho to catch them up on all the drama that’s been happening~she does reprimand Leo about outing someone’s illness like that but it’s one ear and out the other.

She doesn’t mention about what she saw in the mirror to them but lets it slip to professor nicolas when he checks up on her again….

She really does hate Frostheim missions but she got to spend time with Luca (and Kaito) so at least she got to see her boys.

———————————————————

Cathrine 🧪

Cathrine freshly estranged from her rich family who were defo in the upper circle of high class society and not wanting any part of that life anymore…

She’s in class for once to help fix the projector and is curious about this Christmas event; more curious about this dio person…

When she gets the text she thought it was another confrontation about one of the projects Frostheim had set for her but was slightly relieved when she realised it was about a mission.

Cathrine’s face when she clocks on to what the mission is 🫣😞😪

Thoma’s monocle glinting menacingly as he reveals that the three of them will be attendants for Cathrine and Jin, Kaito’s screech as he asks what thoma’s talking about was enough to burst an eardrum.

Hahahaha so I was the daughter of xyz company (can I think of a company name?atm no.) vut Thoma chimes in like publicly you’re still their daughter and Cathrine has to remind herself that she can’t murder the vice-captain.

Her outfits slightly different to co-ord more with Jin (sly one Thoma) as they approach the limo she slips into high society mode and it freaks Kaito and Luca out cause where has the mad scientist gone? Who is this quiet and polite woman sipping champagne 🥂

Whispers as soon as they enter the room as the rarely seen daughter of xyz comes in along with king jin, much to both of their displeasures. She can already see all the suck ups approaching so very eagerly follows along with Jin when he goes to the prince.

She knows the royals from her appearances at balls (not as close as Jin) but familiar enough to carry a convo (yes she does speak multiple languages including French so her and Jin are doing fine.)

The extrovert mask is strong in this one, as her and Jin kept having attempts of conversation thrown at them, as she hadn’t had to have the mask on for ages she was way more tired than usual when the prince and princesses approach.

Awkward cause they were like oh last time we saw you Cathrine, you had that awful injury we hope you’re well 🥹and Cathrine’s like ahahah backs all healed <3 you cuties shouldn’t worry about me but how’s your father he doesn’t seem well, she beats Thoma to the punch much to his surprise as she easily guides the conversation.

Jin 🤝 Cathrine - being crushed on by a royal family member (Hugo for Cathrine-princess for Jin)

Tries to put in a good word for Kaito as she feels kind of bad for the poor guy but knows the princess has her heart set on Jin

Was going to join Jin in the room but got trapped in a conversation by an old associate (Jin took the chance to escape when she gave the Ok)

The associate ‘accidentally’ spills wine on her and Cathrine’s murderous intent couldn’t be hidden causing Luca to step in smoothly as she swiftly escaped.

Like Xena-Cathrine doesn’t show her outward distress at the sight of kyklos and clinically details her responses and what happened-immediately sending it over to Yuri and Jiro to analyse when Thoma wakes her up from the trap.

Speaking of Thoma they’re like frenemies, bitchy comments being thrown back and forth, though it’s much less than usual due to Cathrine’s fake personality snapping in.

When she’s back in the room with Jin and Thoma; she senses the tension and tries to ease it, tries to get Jin to talk to her but he’s fuming with thoma’s existence.

Doesn’t admit she’s scared of the kyklos curse but advises Jin and Thoma on what anomaly they’ve narrowed it down too.

When she’s on her way back from the shop, she has a cold beer in hand and a small pot filled with karage (shoutout to Sho); she’s humming happily to herself when Jin interrupts and she’s like 👁️👄👁️do you want some?

He did not.

On their journey they’re smoking a cigarette as Cathrine tried to awkwardly fill the air with words of encouragement and soothing, trying to cheer up Jin (it seemed to be slightly working until they got to vagastrom)

She gets dragged to vagastrom and is literally chowing down and drinking as she watches everything unfold, she offers to share some with Jin before they get there and he’s like 😒 no fucking thank you-but takes a sip anyway.

Felt insanely bad for Thoma when the meds got pulled out; she’s been there and in a similar situation it’s not nice; but also was already trying to overview different meds that might be less addictive (though she’ll have to get thoma’s permission to look at alternative roots for him) she may dislike him but that doesn’t mean she wants to leave him in pain.

Tries to keep up with the clash drama but is more like 👁️👄👁️ she’ll ask Rui about it later

Is cringing at the confrontation and was about to follow Jin as he left only for Jin yo disappear before she could.

Thought Leo would’ve caused more of a riot but alas. ( was lowkey proud)

She was trying to oull as much info from Thoma as she could on the way back only for the slippery snake to avoid all her questions.

She does not offer any food or drink to Thoma and finishes it as he looks at it in slight jealously. Smokes a cigarette and blows smoke in his face when he gets too close and abruptly leaves him outside as she runs into the cathedral.

The next day~ when they meet up again; she’s kind of smad that they just left Jin behind (even if he’s just refusing) double texts him to check how he’s doing -is ignored.

Cathrine and Luca slip into a mixture Latvian and French as they speak with Hugo much to everyone’s confusion.

Steers the convo away from Kaito as she didn’t want him to get uncomfortable.

Knows how shady Marius is and has heard of the rumours of the mother’s death. Isn’t openly hostile but you can sense the heat behind the smile.

Slips into clinical mode when the dead body is revealed, analysing and makeshift autopsying after the siblings are guided out of the room.

Notices there’s something wrong with the head an is like er Thoma pls get this to Nicolas asap.

Tries to get Hugo and the princess away from Marius to ask them if something’s up but doesn’t get an op; Thoma reveals the paranormal investigation and she’s like 👁️👄👁️omfg okay we’re going this route.

When Thoma gave her the option to go back she was going to take it-checking in on Jin and helping Nicolas with the autospys when she realised if she left it all to Thoma who knows what else would happen and it's unlikely things would go down well if she left the frostheim ghouls to deal with the situation, the chancellor and heads of Darkwick would not be happy with their inspector avoiding her responsibilities.

Clinical and detached as she reviews the crime scene again, as well as with her interactions with the princess much to Thoma's and the princess' surprise. Too professional in a way that comes off cold, Cathrine concludes that it's Marius, due to her own personal experiences of watching families like the royals turn against eachother one after the other.

Cathrine doesn't particulary care about Thoma's reasoning or backstory, she's got too much on her plate; she does want to know wtf is going on with the clash though, if only to unravel the mysteries and find out how everything got so fucked.

Inbetween going to meet Professor Nicolas, she calls Jin (who surprisingly answers) she treads lightly around the coversation and it was only a short and sweet one with Cathrine doing most of the talking but it was enough for her concerns to rise even higher.

Professor Nicolas and Cathrine get distracted and indepth with the conversations, Thoma angrily pulling her out of it as he reprimands her for taking too long. He calls for her to join him to visit the king and shes like :/am I gonna get involved in an argument no thx and he's like hmmm does the academy know about the abomination in you-

(fighter robot)

'Yeppers I'll be there!'

Cathrine awkwardly standing there with a cigarette in her mouth as she watches them argue, 0-0, she does a Xena. She tries her best to be there for the both of them, but once she's kicked out the room with Jin's threat to Thoma to never use her power again fresh in their minds. He cheerfully tells her the unfreezing of Jin's heart is now her duty, she's like respectfully I am slowly turning in an anomaly (cryo chamber building may pause this but this is the reality for her) and have academy promising my deathI do so, but okay I will also do this. Not for you but because I like Jin and the guy look's like he's about the have a crash out x10.

Cathrine the next day when both Prince's end up dead and a dullahan tries to kill her, 'this isn't going to be good for the tour.'

Mortkranken medical training comes in handy as she helps Thoma who is very obviously injured and sneaks him his meds (which she now keeps a baggy handy.)

Is actually upset about Hugo dying, knows he's a good guy and wouldn't kill his own brother without good reason unlike Marius, pipes up when the Princess tries to say it was her like no no we both know that's not true and she knuckles down on that point when Jin sends her the text much to the princess' displeasure as she calls for the Dullahan to kill her.

They save her and Cathrine who swore to keep away from high society promised the Princess to keep in contact and even helped in her correspondance with the academy, helping her work out a deal.

After everything goes down and she's back in the vault with the Frostheim ghoulies, she and Thoma break down what really happened and afterwards she attempts to visit Jin only to be stopped by Thoma and Alan, she sighs and leaves them too it knowing it's something all parties needed.

She immediately goes to Mortkranken to help Professor Nicolas with finishing up the case and analysing the anomalies, awaiting to hear back from Jin and for Rui's bar to open...
