WHO: Katida and anyone
WHERE: video post on the network; un: Astral
WHEN: May 7, afternoon
WHAT: Someone's been brought back into the fold (and immediately got her stupid "hat" back).
WARNINGS: Some language.

[It's the middle of the afternoon and Katida is opening her phone's apps menu, intending to boot up one of the games she has on the device, but then she pauses when she finds something unfamiliar. Her phone's periodically automatically added some simple games and other things over time with its updates, which is a bit of an annoyance, but she's since accepted that as just a thing that happens. So, she doesn't think a whole lot of the appearance of yet another new app, and simply goes to open it up and see what its whole deal is so she can decide if it's something she'd want to use or ignore or whatever.
At first, it looks to her like it's a social networking app with some kind of fantasy roleplay bent, a thought that strikes her as oddly familiar, like she's seen something similar sometime before. Continued browsing, going from newer posts to older ones but only glancing over them, eventually brings her attention to something odd: she's apparently been on here before. Or, at least it's someone using her usual go-to username that also sounds like her and mostly resembles her, and the post in question is their freaking out over a dragon head that's appeared on top of her head like some kind of weird living hat that she can't take off.
"Fucking 'new unusual body parts,' they'd said. God, please just end me now."
Seeing that postβand then seeing one of the responses it received confirming that it was in fact herβbrings back some memories that had somehow been completely lost. The nigh-unberable headache she'd suffered that day. The time that the city was overrun by dinosaurs. The magic she'd somehow come to possess, which despite memories of it coming back to her, the magic itself now eludes her. The weird purple bird that had practically forced its way into her life one day, now nowhere to be found. Some vague other memories that aren't even hers, but were thought to belong to someone she'd been in a past life.
She stares at the phone's screen as she processes at all, and then she starts feeling a new headache coming on, growing in intensity quickly enough that there's no denying what's about to happen next.
Mother fuck.]

[Several minutes later, she goes to start the camera for making a new video post. Any current students or faculty at Kaisou High might recognize her as a student from this year's senior class, the short and quiet brown-haired girl with the blue-gray eyes who tends to keep to herself, except she's not so brown-haired or blue-eyed anymore; her hair and eyes have already changed to white and pink respectively, and the weird pink dragon head is once again sitting on top of her head. She stares into the phone's camera, looking a bit less than amused. The dragon head stares into the camera too, buts its red-eyed gaze is something a bit more vacant.]
Well, I guess this is happening again. Or I guess it's more like it never stopped happening and I just wasn't able to see it for awhile. Whichever. Can someone give me a quick and dirty rundown on like...the past eight months or so? Just the important stuff, I don't need to know everything. [She can go actively reading through old posts and piece things together that way if she has to, but it'll probably be quicker to have someone get her up to speed.]
