the desert ends here

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

[ there's something distinctly off about the Kairi that just entered the dressing room. maybe it's the fact that her skin is a slightly odd shade? perhaps it's the pointed ears, the feathers in her hair, or the blue markings on her face? it might be the fact that she doesn't seem to be wearing more than some sort of bikini of feathers and metal.

but most likely it's the fact that her arms are rather wing-like, covered in feathers and ending in talon-like hands, while her legs are similarly bird-like, scaled and with powerful, taloned feet. she's even got a bird's tail.

in any case, she looks rather lost, though not particularly frightened as she walks down a hall, talons clicking against the floor. ]


( ooc: harpy kairi. idk either okay. )

Your... cousin?

[ doesn't recognize the terminology. ]

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Notices that.]

Yeah, she's my family.

[Does she recognize that one?]

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

Oh!

[ nods, looking thoughtful. ]

Well, you're a bit light coloured to be one of my clan, so I can't be thinking of that.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Tilts her head a little before glancing at her arms. And here she thought that she had been starting to tan after spending so much time in the beach room.]

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

[ shakes her head and reaches up to tug a bit at her own hair. ]

Too light coloured. Our clan is red.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[Giggles a bit, feeling a little foolish.]

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of harpies with your colouring, actually. Only humans and blood elves.

[ tilts her head slightly. ]

It's a pretty colour.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Blinks.]

Um, I am human.

[Couldn't she tell?]

And, thanks.

[Small smile.]

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can see that. I was just saying.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Smiles a little wider.]

Right, sorry.

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

It's alright.

[ she frowns, though. ]

Could you explain where I am?

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you're new here.

[Sighs.]

This place, it's called the dressing room. It drags people here from different worlds. So, you might see other versions of yourself here.

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

[ ....just tilts her head, confused. ]

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[.....Okay then. Just opens a door to a more populated room. Oh look, doubles!]

Long story short. You're not where you were before. Sorry.

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

[ jerks back in surprise, feathers rising and a hiss escaping her. ]

I already knew I wasn't where I was before, but what is this?!

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Shrinks back a little.]

I...I already told you...It's called the dressing room. It's magic and it brought you here. No one knows why it does it, it just does.

[Just a little scared over here. Oh, and she does know a little magic in her defense. Just letting you know...]

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

[ she doesn't have any plans to attack and she's got a rather nice resistance to most magics so don't worry too much. she's just upset. ]

I see.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Namine wasn't planning on attacking either. She much prefers using barriers. Just waiting to see if she's gonna calm down.]

...

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

[ does calm! she's usually a pretty calm person, so it doesn't take her very long. ]

...sorry.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Relaxes then.]

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

[ nods sheepishly. ]

I don't normally get upset like that.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Smiles.]

That's okay. I dont blame you for being upset. It's not a very nice surprise.

[She hadn't liked being stuck here either. Well, at first. She quite likes it here now.]

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

[ well she's never been cooped up inside like this. she's lived in wide open spaces all her life. ]

No, it's not.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Beach room, garden, forest room, and I think I've heard of a desert room somewhere? She'll be able to find somewhere that she can feel comfortable. Gives a sympathetic look.]

It's not that bad when you get used to it.

[dreamingharpy.livejournal.com]

I'd rather not get used to it. They might need me back home.

[ crosses her arms, quite easily despite the feathers and talons. ]
