[Elegante | 016] Heeeeeeeeere's Karis!

[Click. The communicator flips on automatically and for a moment there's silence, which is then broken by the sound of displaced air and a high, agonized shriek, which trails off and dies a moment later. Silence again and then claws scrabbling and clicking over the wood surface of the night-stand. The communicator is picked up and there is the sound of sheets rustling as Karis shifts her body on the bed. Her voice is a bit raspier then usual, a bit strained.]

...what the Hell?

[She lets out a dry, hacking cough, then growls, muttering to herself. The listener can only catch a few of the words.]

Fel-damned... of-a bitch priest... kill... tricky bastard...

[She talks directly into the communicator now.]

Nice trick. 

...Celeste, you OK?

And who the fuck has my armor? I want that shit back.

Welcome back.

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

What'd I miss?

[psychoticracer.livejournal.com]

Nothing much.

I saw what happened, came in just as he got you. Detained the priest, tied him up, sent a word out to Celeste. She showed up but said she wouldn't kill 'im - I offered to buffer in case she did, since it couldn't hurt me, but she refused. She took his gag off and Mar damn he is a mouthy bastard.

He would have made me lose my temper with his self-righteous shit, and I don't have time for lock-up right now. So I fucked off since there wasn't going to be a show.

You did leave some nice marks in his neck, though. He bled all over the fucking place.

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Fantastic.

I don't get Celeste sometimes. Why won't she kill?

Anyway, that's not the important part. Fuck me, that really hurt. Remind me to look before I leap next time, eh? Next time I'll break his arms first, then go to work on him.

And I hope he bleeds to death.

I don't either. I know I'm keeping my nose clean right now, need to say free and able at the moment. Perhaps she just wants to stay under Redd's radar?

Though if a few days in the brig stops her from taking it out on someone who killed her closest damn comrade, I have to wonder. What the hell is so important about staying low? What's she saving it for?

Unless someone cut him down, he probably did.

Hmph. Well at any rate, when my business is done, if you need a hand from someone who won't go up in flames when he pulls that "smite" business I'm all for it. Love to make him suffer, anything that hurts him is something I want in on.

[shesagift.livejournal.com]

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

...not anymore.

Doesn't mean I want to repeat that "Smite" experience. Sweet fucking Fel that hurt like a bitch.

[shesagift.livejournal.com]

Do you need some warm milk?

_{[Karis pulls open the door, warily, but she lights up when she sees Celeste, grinning.]}

Hey! Come on in, kiddo.

[thiefshonor.livejournal.com]

Karis.

[An exhausted smile spreads over her face, and she throws her arms around the other zombie's neck in pure relief. For now.]

I'm so... happy.

Karis, does someone need to have an 'accident'?

[Locked // Audio // Common]

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Probably.

Wanna help?

[Locked // Audio // Common]

[seasindorei.livejournal.com]

Always. We should probably discuss it in person. I don't trust these devices.

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

How about that flowery place?

[seasindorei.livejournal.com]

Works for me.
