flickerflash | [Action]

[After Katie makes an offer to Jack this morning, she finally braves the teleporters to come travelling into town from the beach the way any normal person would. Which is annoying to the extreme, and she really needs to ask someone about her lost magic, because just hopping over the mountain range was extraordinarily convenient. But she has people to check in on in the wake of the huge storm, now she's feeling a lot more stable.

Her friends, to make sure they're okay. And those she ran into in the forest, to make sure they're okay.

Ergo, her stops are:

Houses #5, #6, and #7
House Avatar
And she's also looking for a weird guy in a dirty trenchcoat. To apologise for being so rude, if nothing else.
Last of all, Raine.

She's very quietly kind of stomping through the street, though she'll stop to jump her way through any leaves or even water still left pooled behind. Still a kid, after all.]

((ooc: sob this will be terribly slow, but timing is important. Anyone's welcome to tag even if Katie is specifically looking for certain people, but I will be excruciatingly slow for a few days. Annnd given this is the aftermath of some threads that are still not finished yet, those on Katie's last post are welcome to placeholder this post and we can do that thread once we finish the first one.))

...Just angry cultists. And I think Jack'd be apoplectic if you were drafted.

[Katie decides not to mention she's been drafted twice. Or rather in her case, that she's not been drafted twice.]

It still sounds very adventurous! Perhaps they'll come here one day instead.

I dunno. They didn't have such a good stay, last time.

They've been here before? What happened?

Their General brought his troops as near to the village as he could get. We turned them back. [ ...hell, she's told the girl worse by now. ] I axed off his wings.

[Excuse Katie a minute. She's sort of picturing this epic battle complete with soundtrack of Buffy fighting off hordes with a giant axe. Though her imagination does sort of stick Jack in there next to her halfway through.]

Was he a vampire too? Or just a bad guy?

[ her imagination probably doesn't have it too wrong. except for the jack part. ]

Just a bad guy. Our big bad, I guess.

So he's dead now? [Disappointing. I mean, epic for Buffy, but now Katie never gets to meet him.]

He came back -- as is the very freaky-deaky way here.

...oh. [Her mood dampens a little, reminded of fresh memory.] People do that here, don't they. Did he lose any magic?

I think he lost all he was gonna lose a long time ago but...his magic? Definitely still in full swing.

Oh.

...do people always lose something when they die here?

That's how it's supposed to work.

[ curiousity has her in its grip. she wants to ask 'why' but...but perhaps with katie it's best to let the story unfold on its own. ]
