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 ;; ]

[ Reverted back to normal. ]

Merely putting a little show into the tell.

There is no sense of security when it concerns you.

How did you assume his face?

video;

[worldofourown]

You flatter me.

[ A smile. ]

All it takes is a drop of blood.

[ And he gorged himself on several mouthfuls. ]

[Loki - Serrure, whichever - he might not be from her world, but they are the only Aesir left, and he is her charge now, whether they like it or not. And hearing that is not making her smile.]

You touch him again, and I will not be as lenient as I have been.

Touch him? [ He could have on several opportunities. ] All I've done recently is buy him milkshakes. And recommended terrible movies to him.

[ The most innocent smile. ]

Did I stutter?

Re: video;

[worldofourown]

Never.

That would hardly befit your ladylike manner.

[asofwar]

Then do not offer empty excuses.

[worldofourown]

I seem to have upset M'Lady.

Might it amuse you if I turned into a one-eyed sailor with a gimp? A two-headed toddler?

video;

[asofwar]

You would not amuse me in any case.

[worldofourown]

But there must be something that brings a smile to that face?

video;

[asofwar]

Nothing from you.

[worldofourown]

Perhaps if I grew talons and wings and spent the morning hunting children?

[ He can do that too. ]
