1st Dusting

[Voice]

[This voiced bit is made after this hapadash intro here. Getting to be around sunset now]

So, is this Slayer part two here, show up in some "other world?" Gotta say, this is totally toy if it is.

But hey, girl's gotta do, right? So any lurks out there, here I am. Come find me, I dare you.

[To be honest, she's not sure if she believes this is the case or not. She's just restless - to be out of Versi, to not be near Gates or Erin or her new flat with all the heritage she was just beginning to discover. To assume - or perhaps more accurately, pretend - that showing up in this weird wing-world is an extension of that whole deal.

If anyone wants an action portion instead, she's wishing she had her scythe or blaster hanging out around central plaza, on one of the shop roofs, watching people. At least she has on her own set of clothes by now]

[herotypical]

It's a hell of a lot more flattering than what we've been given by other ancienty, mystical sects.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Soul? Wait, lurks don't have those.

[touchofrogue]

[...okay, random girl with coolish hair on the Item Shop roof. Rogue doesn't recognize her, and considering the fact that she's an accomplished journal stalker and has actually been around a while now says something.

It's that time again.

Rogue nods in acknowledgement.]

If ya get the wings ta work, let me know.

[As some friendly 'don't go jumping off the roof' advice, and then Rogue will proceed towards the Item Shop door. Random girl on the roof. Just another day in this hellhole.]

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

[She nods. She has no idea, but she can imagine that's the case. Man, where should she go from here...? Ask about the scythe? Do something else]

[voice]

[all7seas]

This one does, actually, and it makes him all the more insufferable. Seems to think it entitles him to lecture pirates on things of which he has no idea what he's talking about.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

...Where did you find it? In your time?

[makeitquick]

Y'know, I didn't try them yet. Fig I oughta try.

[This is only two stories. She'll survive the fall anyway. She says this with a smirk as she takes a step or two back on the roof before, well, leaping off. she tries to do something with flapping the wings to get off]

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Soul... vampires can have... souls?

[Could Harth have a soul?

No. No. She can't think about the what-ifs, but the idea that it is possible for a lurk to have a soul is filling her head with flights of fancy. With wishes.]

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

[...It might be in poor taste to say it was given to her by a demon. In due time. For now]

It was a gift, actually.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

From a Watcher?

[ the thought rankles; however, melaka had mentioned them. it might be a valid guess. ]

[touchofrogue]

[Well shit.]

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

N...no. Not really one of those. [A beat] From the... [...] man. The man who trained me.

[Voice]

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

Did you just say... lurks?

[What the heck is a lurk?]

[makeitquick]

[She's feeling reckless, okay? Growing up in Versi can do that to a girl- Okay, flapping, flapping. It doesn't work well at all - she gets no air, and the best she can do is that she suspends herself in the air for a brief moment, going forward still. Wow.

And then she falls, landing hard, but on her feet.]

...Ow.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

[ her gaze narrows. confused, not suspicious. ] You...weren't trained by a Watcher? Not that -- not that that's bad. No one really is, now. Anymore. I mean I train the girls in my squad, now. So being Watcherless isn't such a bad bag.

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

Yeah? Dwell in the lower part of the warrens, eat people, generally ugly. Turn to dust when you stab them in the heart with wood.

[touchofrogue]

[...at least she knows how to land.]

Next time ya might wanna try that from a tall log. Give less heart attacks that way.

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

[Okay, she can't talk about Urkonn. she's not sure if it's because she doesn't want this woman to know she worked with a demon, or because, ultimately, she needed to kill her dear friend. She's not sure if it's because of the pain or the shame... but.

She derails it instead]

Like I said, I only met one Watcher. She told me I was gunna be the Slayer, and said I would "cleanse the world with fire."

...Then lit himself to burn first.

[makeitquick]

[She gingerly stands. Oh, good, nothing broken. Good. she'd been a little worried after she jumped because she heard about a powers limit]

Advice noted. Gotta say though, that was pretty spled.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

Oh, God.

[ ten years on the job and she can still feel things so keenly. ]

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

Not the best of days.

[Especially when she had to dive into the water with him to "save" him]

[voice]

[all7seas]

Apparently there's only two. They're both utter knobs. The souls, to my mind, are very likely made of cheesecloth stuffed with rejected pork innards.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

...Few days even qualify as 'good', on this job.

I'm sorry.

[touchofrogue]

[Eyebrow.]

Pretty what?

[voice]

[makeitquick]

[Only two. How? Can she-? No, would she even want to? Even if she did get Harth back his soul, after everything's he's done...

No. No, she can't have this chain of thought]

...You said pirate. What's a pirate?
