Just a moment--
[She'd apologise for the deafening thunk of a very solid piece of metal striking the floor in front of your screens, but she's in too bad a mood. It's the business end of a battle axe, runes inscribed along the metal edge and the weapon far too ridiculously big for a person like Katie to use. In fact, it's not temper that made her slam the stupid thing into the floor. She just can't lift it for very long, it's too goddamned heavy.
(Especially for someone who's been out cold for nearly three months, and this is what she comes back to?)]
Now. Who's responsible for this? Where did you get it?
[Anyone who saw any Tully-related flashbacks in calibrations will recognise the weapon for his. Otherwise, the runework is distinctly Scandinavian (Younger Futhark, to be precise) if there are any geeks in the audience.
...also, that's from the Atroma and it's been sitting in the cargo bay for months. Merry belated Christmas? She really appreciates it. Honest.]
---------
[In person, one can find Katie either dragging said stupid axe back to her quarters on the Vanquish, down at the fox park on the Iskaulit, or lurking at a table in Malum and getting really drunk, which is possibly not wise but par for the course.]

[Action]
[Now that that's cleared up. There's a brief pause, then she smiles a bit.] Have you been terribly bored while I was away?
[Action]
[But it's nice to have nonsensical crap to talk about with someone she actually likes and doesn't annoy her more than normal. And isn't Sorey.]
Of course. While you were off getting your cat naps in for the next few decades, I was dealing with a bunch of stupid.
[Edna comes into the park formally and sits not too far from her friend.]
[Action]
[She closes her eyes again, quite relaxed. Look, it's mark of trust. Or something.]
[Action]
It involves my idiot brother and Zaveid, so of course it's irreversible. You're not surprised, are you?
[Action]
[A tongue-in-cheek question. Though she's mildly concerned. Not that she's met either of them, but their impact on Edna is obvious.]
[Action]
[And at that, Edna's normally flat expression flashes to pain to completely shut down.]
They're both still here, if that's what you're asking.
[Action]
What happened?
[Action]
Nothing special. Eizen left the Blameless for the Red Fish. Dezel went home [to die]. And I moved over to the Huntress to keep an eye on the nerds.
[Action]
Dezel was the one with the hat and the fondness for animals. That makes her a little wistful.]
Well. The nerds do bear keeping an eye on. What about Zaveid?
[Action]
Well, he's there with us on the Huntress, but I'm pretty sure that he and Eizen are... [She shudders in disgust] They're dating.
[Action] 1/2
...okay that was far less horrible than Katie thought.]
[Action]
[Action]
[The truth is she doesn't care if Eizen dates Zaveid. She just doesn't like that he's ditched her again and then avoided talking to her about it. He's a coward and she's tired of it.]
It just feels like he doesn't want to be with me anymore.
[Action]
Infatuated people often act like they've got blinkers on. I assume you haven't asked him directly.
[Action]
Infatuated? They traveled together for 800 years. You'd think they would have figured what they were during that time. Before Eizen ate that Lord of Calamity.
[She snorts at Katie's second statement.]
You assume incorrectly. I talked to Zaveid too. They're just stupid. And gross.
[Action]
What did they say when you asked?
[Action]
Zaveid was useless. He doesn't know what's going on. And Eizen is avoiding talking about it all together. Which is pretty typical for him.
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
Want me to bounce him to the top of a mountain or something?
[Action]
[But, honestly, the thought of Katie trying to do something to her idiotic brother to teach him a lesson is...humorous and she lets out a soft chuckle.]
Thank you though.
[Action]
You're welcome.
[Action]
And he can't swim. He'll sink like a rock.
[Aren't you glad you aren't related to her, Katie? AREN'T YOU?]
[Action]
Poor boy. He'd have time to reflect on his wrongdoings.
[Action]
If he hasn't learned after nearly three thousand years, I don't know that there's anything that will work. He's rather stubborn.
[Pot. Kettle. Cauldron. Whatever.]
