Video - UN: Runeseeker (CW for Body Horror/Headlessness)

[onerthes]

If you want to get ahead in life, I recommend keeping a good one on your shoulders. The alternative is troublesome.

[Badum Tish.

That dryly delivered and awful joke was said by Vira-Lorr's head, which was resting on a metal plate in front of her. She was seated in her fortune teller's booth, relaxed back and reclined in her chair, wearing a particularly high necked Ao Dai that completely concealed the clean cut from sight. Trails of smoke extended from within the collar, floating upwards. Her head, meanwhile, was resting in the spot that the crystal ball usually would, looking about as acrid and "Over every last minute of this" as she possibly could. There was no way in which she was pleased by this.]

Ahem. It appears that some of the masks are a bit too effective at making us seem like monsters. This was an experience I was not planning to have again. But, rather than search high and low for blood in this situation? I will tolerate it as long as I must until it returns to normal. The discomfort is ... minimal. It's just very disorienting.

However, until this remedies itself, I will be sticking to the shop closely. I don't have a collar to keep from losing my head after all, you understand. And... [she switched which leg was crossed on top of each other and, in the process her leg accidentally bumped her head, causing it to topple over with a yelp of distress.]

This! This is exactly why I am not going out right now! Damnit! I'll have whoever's head for this!

[The answer came when a small litwick hopped up on top of the table and waved at the camera angle beatifically, touching a button and blessedly ending the feed.]

[She sighed and smiled a little, sadly. Shrugging was ... weird right now, but she added one in afterwards.]

It's absolutely her style from the past, but I think that just speaks to how weary of her you and I are. We've dealt with her for far too long, haven't we Ange?

[entreats]

.. yeah. [ It's hard to forget her encounters with the other, after all.

Especially that one time, in that odd dream - where she had been together with Vira-Lorr too, making this feel even more like some sort of shared experience. ]

It makes the way she's relatively quiet here almost weird. It's not like her at all when she isn't being dramatic and making absolutely everything everyone else's problem. [ Their problem, most of the time. ]

[onerthes]

I don't know how to handle her. On the one hand, there's a clarity that she is under some sort of penance? But at the same time? She is still causing us all problems.

...It worries me. She worries me.

[entreats]

[ Ange pauses, seeming to consider this. ]

Are you planning on doing anything about that?

[ .. you know, when Vira-Lorr's head is properly attached to her body again, for one. But Ange just can't help but wonder if the other has at least been considering something. She wouldn't put it past Vira, that's for sure. ]

[onerthes]

Mother Superior? No. At the most, what she has done is still not to the point where I feel it needs to be responded to. When I'm more up to it, I intend to prepare in case the Zealots ore coming.

But.. well, let's just hope she doesn't change that perspective.
