[VIDEO | un: inkmetal]
[It's disgustingly hot and humid and even with most of her hair pulled up and twisted back away from her face, she's got curly tendrils hanging down and a light sheen on her forehead. Ugh. But at least she's back to finding things to keep herself busy.]
My chair is open at Ursula's again, if anyone is looking for regular tattoos or some runework. Want anything more intricate let's talk and we'll see what I need and what deal works for you.
[Best way to act like nothing is wrong is to go right back to what she was doing before, right? Right.]
Catching up on the insane shit y'all love to get up to, but what little changes, a lot stays the same, doesn't it? Like how I still don't know who most of you asses are. Keeping track of the coming and goings ain't easy. Anyone keeping a list?

You've had a busy three months. But I guess it turns out well for you, huh.
[There's a pang of...guilt? Yeah, she's pretty familiar with guilt now. Of knowing shit happened and she wasn't there for her. That Luz maybe had to go through all of that alone.]
She better be good to you. But I think you're a good judge of character.
[Except maybe when it came to seeing more good in people than there really was.]
no subject
Somehow, yeah! Who knew? It felt really rough the last few months too, but I'm finally getting back on my feet. I'm just glad I'm ready to go back out in Trench again.
[She couldn't help but smile].
Lexi is great to me. She's...she's perfect, even. She's very pretty, smart as heck, nerds out all the time, is compassionate, sweet and determined. She's hard not to like!
no subject
[Because she would hate for Luz to build this girl up to being something she's not and get hurt when it all falls apart. Not that Saeri has much experience in getting to the dating part so much as the falling apart part.]
For all you know she could eat anchovies and pineapple on her pizza.
no subject
[Luz knew no one could be perfect and was also just as aware she was in the glow period of her relationship. And she didn't care! She was pretty happy]!
Pineapple is great on pizza, and anchovies...are a very salty fish and I don't care for them.
no subject
[She grabs a dusting rag off the coffee table and tosses it toward Luz. Then she picks the bottle up and pours a little more of the citrus oil onto the dusting sock before heading back to finish where she had been oiling and polishing the ladder to the second floor. If Luz is offering to help, Saeri won't stop her.]
Anything else crazy happen I should know about? I have been going through some of the posts and shit available, but it's a lot. Social media at its finest.
no subject
[Luz takes the rag and is already noting where Saeri hadn't started yet and gets to work. This was actually strangely relaxing, working at a task while talking. It gave Luz some focus].
I'm probably not the best to ask. Took a month to stay in, like I said. Something new happens every month, so I might be a little behind! We did lose some people though. Varian and Fern, if you knew them. I was living with them in the house, and they went back to the sea.
[Luz was still trying to cope with that, because it was still a lot and not having the boys around was an ache that didn't go away].
no subject
[Saeri gives an exaggerated shudder.]
I've heard of those two. Varian and I talked a bit when I first got to Deerington. Short, quirky alchemist. Sorry that you lost your housemates. Are you living alone, then?
no subject
[Luz understood salt with savory, even with sweet, like caramel, but overabundance of salty with sweet was just horrible in her mind]!
That's him all right! We had the tattoo together, actually!
Thank you, and no! We sort of adopted two kids close to my age into our fold, Luca and Ahiru, and we also have a new housemate, Zib. Know any of them?
no subject
[And her memories from when she was here before feel so recent and yet so far away. It's almost worst than last time and she gained even more memories in a shorter amount of time. Maybe it's because of squid-time.
Once she finished with the ladder, she moved on to the hanging bowls, having to remove them and dust them and everything inside of them before putting them back. Time consuming with one hand, but she's found trying to not scratch up or dent what she's dusting with her metal hand isn't that easy.]
I don't know any of those people though. At least you've got friends to hang with. Just don't get up to too much trouble with them. [A little smirk.]
no subject
[It was a bad feeling, one that Luz had honestly been trying to work on that whole month she stayed home. It was important to try and regroup with herself and feel like she was recovering from some of that pain].
Do you need me to do those bowls? It'll probably be faster that way and you can concentrate on something else!
And who knows, maybe you'll meet them around sometime soon! Or, you might meet someone completely new!
no subject
It will fade, give it time. The benefit of those types of bonds is absence does make the reverb less noticeable.
[She doesn't comment about "meeting someone new" because she's seen how that goes. Either they leave or she does. Instead she keeps the conversation on something else.]
You okay with getting all of them down? There's a stool over there for you to reach, but be careful with the ones full of crystals. Those were a bitch to find.
no subject
Maybe. I think I'm still dealing with mine.
I can fly up, remember? But I think I'll use the stool, probably easier that way,
Ooh, really? Got to see those! And clean them, of course.
no subject
No flying inside the carriage house. There's too much for you to bang into.
[She laughs.]
And yeah the crystals are great for shaping into charms and rune-jewelry.
no subject
They'd want her to live, so Luz would, despite how hard it felt].
I guess that includes no bird form either, huh?
Yeah. Actually, I think I might want one soon. For, well, my girlfriend.
no subject
Already looking at jewelry though? You girls must be deep already. Cute.
no subject
[Plus she had Eda's staff, so it wouldn't make much sense].
Well. She's really special. I want to get her something that shows her that.
no subject
So then she sets the cleaning supplies on the counter and pulls the dusting sock off her left stump before grabbing a towel to dust herself off.]
Then we should get started on making something real nice for her. Bring that basket over here.
no subject
To an extent].
Sure! What did you have in mind? I'll help you with whatever you need!
no subject
More like what do you have in mind. It's your girlfriend and your gift. Tell me what you think she needs and what you want the gift to mean.
no subject
Well, she's opening a book shop, and I want it to be great. It would be awesome if I got her something pertaining to that, that let her know I want nothing but good things to happen once it opens and we have all of our stuff together.
[Luz knew she could curse, she just didn't want to].
no subject
Something for or about her shop that encourages bounty and prosperity... So a good luck charm. I could carve one of the crystals into a bracelet or necklace charm. What would you want it to look like?
no subject
That sounds perfect! Now that...that is a good question.
[She thought about this a moment, then smiled].
Can you do an otter holding hands with a hedgehog?
no subject
Oh. You know...that would be a challenge. [She smirks a bit.] I like it. I haven't carved something like that in years. And I know exactly what runes to put on it.
[She pushes the basket back toward Luz.]
Pick a crystal. A big one. Gives me more room to cut.
no subject
What do you need for payment? I'll work it out on layaway if you need!
[Luz was just like that].
Ooh, you got it!
[Luz picked out a larger blue quartz crystal]. Will this work?
no subject
Layaway? I'm not a Walmart. This isn't a commission, it's a late birthday gift. I'm sure I missed one or fourteen.
