[ Death Lotus ✲ 5 ✲ - Voice - Action for people on Bloody Roses ]

[sinister_blade]

[There is some paper rustling, probably from the journal that is resting on her knees. After several moments of silence, she finally speaks up- the voice calm but oddly cold, as if she is forcing herself to speak that way.]

Hypothetically speaking- what do you do when you miss someone?



[Katarina's sitting on the ratlines of the ship, dagger hanging from her fingers peculiarly. She's been siting outside like this for quite some time, just watching the black water and crescent moon in the distance.

She was unable to sleep past few days. The solid rock mask of a soldier she keeps up during the day tends to get heavy when night falls on the ship. She pushes hair from her face and leans her head against the rope of the ratline. She trained herself to strip away any and all worries that come up- to each his own, is Noxsu's motto.

But being away this long from home... she was unable but to think about her mother, Cassiopeia, Talon, asshole Swain and those barbaric Demacians. But having no news, at all, not even a word, is making her uneasy, restless and sleep deprived.]

[Katarina gives B.B. a short smile-]

Sometimes, book for kids are way smarter than books for grown ups. [But seriously, she doesn't know how some books were approved for printing with all the stupidity in them.]

action;

[hoodwinking]

Of course. Most writers make childrens' books too simple, and overthink the rest of them. [Plus, all the unnecessary romance, and et cetera.]

If it doesn't remind you of home, it should be fine, right?

[sinister_blade]

That's too true and unfortunate. [Katarina didn't give a zilch about romance.]

I like history books. Myths, legends... stuff like that. But that doesn't mean I believe in that stuff- I just like listening to story.

[hoodwinking]

You should open your mind a lot more! More of those myths and legends are truer than you think. You would be surprised as to what legend you come face to face with.

[sinister_blade]

Oh? And did you come across some myth or legend that is true? [She's actually curious, not teasing.]

[hoodwinking]

A legend, actually. She's quite strong, but after spending a little time here, I think I'd be ready any time to go back and finally finish her off.

[As soon as she stocks up on more weapons.]

[sinister_blade]

[Katarina gives her a surprised look- well done B.B. she's distracted.]

Really? Who is she?

[hoodwinking]

Morrigan Aensland. Head of the Aensland clan. Possibly one of the strongest Darkstalkers in the entire universe, if not the strongest. I had only heard rumors about her, but she's every bit as dangerous as her bounty back home says. I can't wait to finally kill her.

[As difficult as it would be. But, being here for target practice? She was gaining nothing but experience. One day.]

[sinister_blade]

[Morrigan... name sounds similar to Morgana, the fallen Angel that is fighting in the League. It's quite peculiar.]

I seem to be asking too much questions, but I never heard about Darkstalkers. What are those?

[hoodwinking]

Ah, them. They're monsters and demons we've identified. Things like succubi and vampires and other types of wild beasts! They're extremely dangerous, which is why people like me are sent to kill them. In case they choose to terrorize the nice people of any village that needs us.

[She sounds really proud of that, but why wouldn't she be? She loved being paid to hunt monsters.]

[sinister_blade]

Huh... that sounds like spawns of Void that we have. Of course, there are also the crazy shitheads that think that summoning the Void will salvage us all. [More like, devour.]

[hoodwinking]

Mm, you always get people like that. Cultists, devotees... humans can be so weak-minded sometimes!

[sinister_blade]

I hope you are not lumping me in with them.

[hoodwinking]

Why, where would you get that impression? I'm human myself, after all!

[sinister_blade]

Because many underestimate me and call me weak and "unable to cope with supernatural". Not only it's annoying but it's insulting as well.

[hoodwinking]

Then, those many deserve what's coming to them. Take it from me. The best feeling in the world is the look on an unwitting pissant's face when you've crushed their expectations.

[sinister_blade]

[Katarina chuckles-] I live to do that.

[hoodwinking]

Of course, if you aren't good with the supernatural, that's not a good thing! I'm not saying you are, but it's bad for anybody to think lightly of spirits or monsters.

[She grins, arms behind her head.]

I'd be interested to see this void, though.

[sinister_blade]

[Katarina makes face-]

You... can't see the Void. If you get in chances are that you won't get out. Only one person made it back alive, but he's not all himself since then. The Void completely changed him and he survived only because he's immensely strong mage.

[hoodwinking]

[Bonnie chuckles, grinning darkly.]

Sounds interesting.

[sinister_blade]

[Katarina raises eyebrows-]

You are quite amused by this topic.

[hoodwinking]

A place where only the absolute strongest survive, and even then there's not a chance that you'll ever come back the same? It's incredibly amusing!

[sinister_blade]

Not to mention incredibly deadly. Kassadin came back- by sheer luck. I see why is it amusing topic, I agree with it but I'd rather live. I have bigger priorities than dashing into Void recklessly.

[hoodwinking]

Mm? And what kind of priorities would those be?

[sinister_blade]

Like kicking guy's ass off the throne of Noxus and salvaging whatever's left after him.
