RP > nostalgia strikes again

[ 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. ]

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

[ 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?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Apparently, the more time I spend with normal people, the more likely it is that they'll get a little more spiritual sensitivity-- be able to hear, see ghosts, that sort of thing. It freaked a lot of the kids out at school when they started seeing dead principals, you know. If I stay away, though, the effect fades.

...So I suppose I shouldn't be surprised if suddenly I am able to see your cat one day.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ apologetic smile ] Consider this your forewarning.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I shall bear that in mind, then.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

What about you? [ sipping from her cup ] Any odd talents?

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

You mean apart from the obvious?

Not particularly.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Well, you're interesting as you are.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I suppose I'll take that as a compliment.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

It is. [ retrieving more notes ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ just. raises an eyebrow at that ]

When do we leave?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Three days from now, so we've got a lot to do. [ raising an eyebrow back ] Starting with your arms.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Very well. I'm ready when you are.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ clearing a spot on the floor and rolling up her sleeves ] Come over here... this one should work.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ does as he's told and heads over ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Arms. [ said all businesslike, and he might notice that her fingertips are glowing a faint gold ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ shrugs out of his jacket... and hesitates a moment ] Do I need to remove my shirt again?
