029 - The Best Of The Worst People

[worldofourown]

[ The patio at Phantomhive has a circular pool set into it. The water, lit from within, throws dappled reflections on a pale body. Karl's. He sits, insouciant and exposed, at the edge of a diving board. Hair and skin wet--dripping. The shimmery light makes his bare shoulders into two pearly points. No scars anywhere, despite how often he's been sliced up. Chevaliers don't carry marks. ]

...I'm told nudity is a form of dress. Of course, the voices of decency and dignity would rush to disagree. [ Snort. ] Are the Deities trying to instill shame among the shameless? Or is the true purpose of this curse to afflict me with sunburn?

[ He yawns. Switches seamlessly to female form. Languidly, girl!Karl drops back onto her elbows, so her breasts stand up between her impudent face and the Network device's view. ]

If so, I reserve the right to laugh. My sunblock is waterproof. [ And his shame is ... shame-proof? ] Next time, dear Deities, let's pretend you have a speck of originality and use it. Lest the poor City should gouge its blushing eyes out.

[ In a blink, he reverts to his real form. Dives with a near-soundless plop into the pool. Feel free to look away or stare at your leisure. He's fairly easy on the eyes, if not woefully underfed. ]

[ Private to Solomon ]

If you don't come out of your room, I'm taking all your clothes and blankets away. And turning the air-conditioning to freezing.

[ Or just setting his hair on fire? ]

[ Private to Nathan ]

Do I even need to ask?

...Settling in fine?

[OOC: Cursed with Black Bars. Cover your eyes pls ;; ]

[Aesir don't go kgjhsdghsdk over seeing a shape-shifter who slips from female to male so easiy, but: jkhgshks. How many more mysteries does he hide?

...none right now.]

Is that a gift of your kind, or are you efficient with magic as well?

[worldofourown]

[ Mysteries aren't his thing. Brazen creature that he is. ]

A gift~

Convenient, wouldn't you say?

[asofwar]

For what purpose?

[beyourarmy]

You're still coming to the wedding, right? [He cares that little about all this nakedness.]

[worldofourown]

What wedding?

[beyourarmy]

My wedding.

[Sends a copy of the invitation.]

[sympathyforme]

Girl's slightly more bearable.

[Just being helpful.]

[worldofourown]

But she still has my personality~

[sympathyforme]

That's alright, I drown that out most the time.

[valentineluke]

Speaking as one who use to burn, 'waterproof' is an exaggerated claim.

[worldofourown]

I can always hide under a parasol, if the blaze gets to be too much~

[indecent_butterfly]

The only reason to wear clothing is to show it off. Easier to wear nothing at all.

[worldofourown]

I quite agree.

Perhaps the City was expecting me to run frantically into some bushes, modesty fluttering.

[indecent_butterfly]

Not quite the blushing virgin type. If nothing else, this One doesn't mind.

Female form. Definitely female form.

[worldofourown]

[ Switching to lady!form. For your amusement. ]

Don't like what you see, Serrure?

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Not bad. A bit skinny.

[never_very_good]

Maybe take the night off, yeah?

[He doesn't even want to know, just put on some damn pants.]

[worldofourown]

[ But Frankie. He can't. ]

Seems the best option.

The Raven isn't that type of bar.

Private

[manyadenouement]

[Pardon the pouting here. He is legit upset.]

I was until the bars covered your nudity.

Private

[worldofourown]

...It's a curse.

[ And you didn't answer his question. ]

[berthierite]

How pale.

[She likes it, she likes it.]

[worldofourown]

I've never been a fan of toasting myself to a crisp.

[wetworking]

[... why in the world did you change back male, Karl.]

[worldofourown]

...Something wrong, Miss Hazuki?
