Hey look, it's a lil solo by Becky. We've been seeing her a lot.

But this one is just her and Goblina, setting up her character motivations and loyalty to Cattaras.

 
Set before Becky's appearance in Dancing in the Rain... or Konall Starts a Fire..

Becky Joy blinked her eyes as she woke up, trying to discern, not for the first time, if was she was thinking about was a dream or memory. She'd been lucky enough that Cattaras found her a spare hut to sleep in! She loved that hut because she got to decorate it herself. Or she would when she got time. For now, it was still very sparse design, with the musky smell of dust that had sat in the unused hut for months or more.

Becky and Goblina had a room and Red, Darson and Green were in the living room sleeping.

Mostly, Becky's mind tried to sort out the situation with Kadlin. Ignoring the slight sting of the stiff feathers poking her from her pillow, Becky reflected back on how she'd met Kadlin. Back when the Knob Goblins were trying to set Seaside Town on fire.

Becky threw her shirt and shoes on and went outside. Goblina did the same thing and followed Becky. Although Becky was very different than her squad of Goblins, being human, she'd come to be rather close to the four and guarded over them fiercely. They returned the same devolution to the ice mage.

"Becky in the morning!" sang Becky.

"Good morning, Miss Joy," Goblina said, wishing she had a traditional cup of Goblin coffee here. The Gnollish stuff was so weak and non poisonous.

"I am practicing, and thinking, and..." Becky paused. "Singing!"

"Maybe you better practice the middle one more," Goblina suggested helpfully.

Becky looked at her oddly. "I get that a lot! It means I'm smart."

"I know."

"But people want me to be smarter."

"Right." Goblina nodded. "Why are you singing your name and the time of day? I thought you said you had your name memorized now."

"That was a joke!" Becky said, blushing and flustered. "I know my name forever and ever!"

"Ohhhh."

"I'm just practicing a theme song," Becky explained. "I think that would be a good title for a morning show!"

Goblina didn't get it. "What's a morning show?"

"I'll entertain the poor Gnollish every morning," Becky said. "Then they'll tell each other about it and everyone will wanna come hear the news and be entertained!"

"Huh," Goblina answered. "Cool idea. We could even use it to advance the Feline Empire goals!"

"Yeah!" Becky jumped up and pumped her fist in the air but then calmed down. "No wait. Our news should be unbiased!"

"That'll take a lot of effort and responsibility," Goblina said.

Becky cast her a frown. "Oh no."

"But if you really wanna do it," Goblina said with a helpful smile. "I'm sure we can work something out."

"We have a serious job here," Becky explained.

"What's that, boss?" asked Goblina.

"It's our job to make sure every-1's here gets to know what a good job we're gonna do for them!" Becky stood up and cheered. "'Hurray for Cattaras,' they will say!"

"Oh?"

"Yes," Becky said. "Cattaras is gonna be a great leader!"

Goblina shrugged. "It might be a challenge to convince the Gnollish of, well, anything."

"Challenges," Becky said, eyes narrowing, "are what makes life interesting. Oh, and candy and ice cream and pet wolves and and and...!"

"Pretty deep, boss!" Goblina giggled as Becky started getting into her usual excitable self. "But do you even know what Cattaras stands for?"

"Huh?!" Becky asked. "Should I?"

"You probably should," Goblina answered. "Make sure it's an agenda you want to promote. Plus, you'll need to know what it is before you can explain it to anyone!"

Becky seemed to think about it for a while. Or maybe she was daydreaming. Either way, she eventually nodded. "Yeah! We're gonna wake up our Gobby guys and go talk to Cattaras! Or maybe someone else who can act as a convenient fill in."

Goblina nodded and they went back inside to fetch Darson, Red and Green. They'd have to find Cattaras so they could set up a meeting soon and time was probably running out, too!

Whee, fun Becky Joy stories! Anyway, we only got about ten roleplays up for this one, but we've got some pretty good ones left still. Next up are Dash, Jen, Cattaras and a little Aleena.
