RP > nostalgia strikes again

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ It is a relatively quiet day in the apartment of one Saga Laskaris- unless you were to wander into the kitchen. Then you would find all manner of things happening, dishes heaped up everywhere, and some very tantalizing smells coming from the sizzling skillets on the stove top. In the middle of it is Alabaster, in a simple t-shirt and jeans (and no shoes. Just socks), bustling back and forth, metallic arms zipping everywhere. ]

I'll always come back. Regardless of what time period I find myself in, it seems, I always come back.

And you're in much better shape this time. [ slowly getting to her feet and stretching ] Find a seat... somewhere. I'll get you some tea and fill you in.

[ does as he's told and finds a seat o/ ]

[ she's moving a little more gingerly than usual, clearly still adjusting to being back on her feet, but she's more than efficient enough to get things done, and she's returning with two mugs, one of which she's offering him ]

I managed to get you a plane ticket; you're not by me, but I'm sure I can find a way to switch seats on the plane if it comes to that.

[ takes the mug with a nod of thanks ]

I'm fairly certain I can make do. Though... where are we going?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

California, with no layovers-- it's kind of a long flight. My brother will be there to pick us up.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Am I to assume that's who you were talking to?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Thaaaat's the one.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

And the metal detectors?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Rune for the arms, and blood for the rest! [ she is saying this rather cheerfully ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

... You may need to elaborate.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

You've seen the runes in action, so that part should be easy enough to understand. As for the other part... it's a little similar to what you did with Isa, only on my end, and we're certainly not setting it on fire.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Ah. That's... reassuring.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... Well, that, and it's got to enter your body, hence the... limited options I mentioned earlier.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I see. I'm... still not quite sure I understand, but I trust you.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ she'll smile a little at that ] We can wait to do that particular one, but I think I can cover your arms tonight.

... [ and the embarrassed look is returning ] I'm going to have to touch them, though. I'll make it as brief as I can.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

... Of course. Do whatever you have to do.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ she'll try to make it quick and painless!! ]

Just let me know when you're ready, then. Preferably when you've thawed out enough.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, I my very well have to procure a coat.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ in an almost uncanny imitation of his accent ] I do believe you may be right.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ blink blink ] You do that very well.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ slight curtsy ] It's an odd talent of mine, like finding home.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Any other "odd talents" in your repertoire?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... Getting lost the rest of the time, having a good memory... oh, and the one where people can't usually get too close to me. I'm pretty skilled at that one.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Can't... get too close?
