Karis.

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Heya 'Lesty!

[thiefshonor.livejournal.com]

Karis.

my scarf.

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Uh...

You gave it away last night. I think.

Audio // Gutterspeak

[thiefshonor.livejournal.com]

I know.

[sigh.]

Fuck, I can barely remember it. He told me two days, right?

Audio // Gutterspeak

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, think so.

...

You know, your freckles are pretty cute.

Audio // Gutterspeak

[thiefshonor.livejournal.com]

... wh-whatever.

[Celeste does remember that part, though. What happened.]

Audio // Gutterspeak

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Come on, give yourself some credit, Celeste. You're a bit thin and scrawny, but it's a cute thin and scrawny.

[Karis does too, even if there's some drunken haze in the way.]

Audio // Gutterspeak

[thiefshonor.livejournal.com]

I'm jus' gonna pretend I didn't hear that. [go go gadget subject change.] How're y'enjoying your one day?

Audio // Gutterspeak

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

_{Freakin' straights...}

Fine, fine. Enjoying my day as a human. Wondering what I'd have to give up to make this permanent...

Audio // Gutterspeak

[thiefshonor.livejournal.com]

Whatever it would be, I doubt it'd be worth it. And that's if it even exists, eh.

Audio // Gutterspeak

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Probably not. It'd be nice, though.

Audio // Gutterspeak

[thiefshonor.livejournal.com]

So what are you plans, then? Going out with a bang tonight?

Audio // Gutterspeak

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

I'm going on a drunken spree or something.

Audio // Gutterspeak

[thiefshonor.livejournal.com]

'M I invited?

Audio // Gutterspeak

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Course you are!

Audio // Gutterspeak

[thiefshonor.livejournal.com]

Did you have anyone else in mind.

Audio // Gutterspeak

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

I was gonna bring Ter and Erol along. Maybe a couple other people.

Audio // Gutterspeak

[thiefshonor.livejournal.com]

Sounds good, then.

Audio // Gutterspeak

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

See you!

[Audio // Common]

[seasindorei.livejournal.com]

Karis, you're all...human. _{[He sounds vaguely befuddled.]}

[Audio // Common]

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Wanna see?

[Audio // Common]

[seasindorei.livejournal.com]

Uh...sure. Why not?

[Audio // Common]

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

M'up on deck.

[Audio // Common]

[seasindorei.livejournal.com]

I'll head up then, I suppose.

Karis leaned on the railing, looking out over the empty expanse of sea. Her hair was whipped up by the breeze and she grinned, spreading her arms to catch the wind, to feel, to live, to be alive and whole and herself again.

[seasindorei.livejournal.com]

Ter is up there now, looking for Karis. You know, that dead woman in the armor and all. So he has to look twice when he passes her, mouth falling open in shock.

"K-Karis?"

[commentlog]

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Karis turned with a grin, back to the railing now. Her clothing was what she usually wore on the occasions she wasn't in full armor - a pair of practical dark-colored trousers, and a loose (somewhat stained) white shirt. The sleeves were rolled up past the elbow, showing off the tanned, pink, living flesh. She was toned, in shape and her (now black) hair was ruffled by the breeze.

"Hey Ter. What do you think?"

Re: [commentlog]

[seasindorei.livejournal.com]

Ter'thelas just gapes for a few more moments, taking in the woman's form. He shook his head, disbelieving.

"I...I don't know what to say."

[commentlog]

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Karis closed her eyes and took a deep breath in, lifting her head and spreading her arms, bare feet and toes gripping the wooden deck.

"This is me. This the whole me. _{This is what I should be.}"

Re: [commentlog]

[seasindorei.livejournal.com]

He took a step forward, frowning.

"But..." He shook his head. "You were always so...proud."

[commentlog]

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

"I am proud."

She grinned and settled her hands on her hips, "And I could still kick your ass."

[commentlog]

[seasindorei.livejournal.com]

He laughed at that, crossed his arms.

"The only reason you beat me before is because you don't feel pain."

[commentlog]

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

Karis laughed and cracked her knuckles, "You really wanna find out?"
