Cathy wants to aim for the bright new day, but conflict serum is her aura and she decides to fly some other time.

This is a bit more serious, I know, but it grows out the conversation between Rico and Cathy in "Mementos." Cathy is starting to feel a little autobiographical.

Big thanks to  Averyhillpeak for drawing Cathy and letting me use the picture!

I was worried there for a second, knowing it was going to be unbirth, and that skull near Velva Vagina, I thought she was going to eat up Cathy for a minute. Which would be a shame, because I like Cathy!

Nah, I've got too much pathos invested in Cathy to cross her off. Though with how often she ends in with one-night stands, I guess it is inevitable that she'll meet or has met another predator.

Preds unknowingly meeting preds is always a wonderful situation, so tense and dramatic. Might be a good way to give her the 200th star!

Hmm. Idea processing.

Hmm seems someone needs to find something new in their life

But can a leopard ever really change his spots?

They can if they get contained and doused in dye...

I like the up and down mood shift, wonderful introspection, and the star tattoos are an interesting idea!

Thanks! I'm sure Cathy will be back to try her hand at self-improvement.

Nice! You made me feel for Cathy, there at the end. I find myself hoping she can find someone, but I get the impression she'd have to already be full for them to survive a first date. Maybe if she finds someone who could enjoy helping feed her hunger (with other people)...

Now you've got me trying to imagine how to setup a meet-cute romance for a predator... Well done. :)

Glad you liked it. I think that Cathy is going to find it hard not just to find someone, but to stay with them. She'll have to completely break and reform her habits.

I'm surprised Rico hasn't asked her out yet. Or maybe he did and she turned him down. Still, I can kinda see how they could work. After all, it'll be hard for her to find a new tattooist wouldn't it? Lol, best of luck to you Rico! Cathy, you keep trying your best to stop this addiction, it will be great for you in the long run.

I think Rico's smart enough to realize that Cathy doesn't have any interest in men and, even if she did, any relationship is going to have a very short shelf life. Besides, he's a bit too much of a professional.

Yeah that might be the case, but it COULD happen right? Not saying that it should happen, but it's a possibility that can't just be scraped (at least to the readers, you're the writer so you can scrap things at any time). She did "date" two guys before, so she has some bisexuality.

Funny thing, I didn't realize Rico was a guy until going back and thinking about his name. Thought it was a girl.

Would be an interesting out for her to need a replacement for Rico, female tattoo artist and developing a connection with someone female that way. Perhaps not even romantic but at least something that wasn't consuming the other.

Hmmm. Not sure about a tattoo artist, but a professional relationship may be the way to break the cycle. We'll see...
