character

Cascadia

The show host whose bitter combined broadcast announcing Open Hostilities stuns even Louis.

Story so far

After days of silence, Cascadia issues a combined message to crawlers and fighters out of nowhere: Open Hostilities begin soon, she does not give a shit what any of them do by this point, she just wants it to end, she hates all of them, and they should get out there and kill, kill, kill.

Louis can only manage "Wow" from the cockpit of Party Planner, and Donut messages that she thinks Cascadia needs a vacation.

Role

Broadcast host announcing the start of Open Hostilities, visibly at the end of her rope.

Relationships

Open Hostilities — Announces its imminent start
Donut — Thinks she needs a vacation
Louis — Astonished by her broadcast
