[ Link's Communion explodes into the mind of every Zenite, like the opening of a window during a hurricane. It rushes in with an intense and primal sense of panic, a mixture of both fight and flight, and the horror of knowing that neither has worked. A certain death is imposing down on him. If you've died before, you'll likely recognize this potent cocktail of desperation that's suddenly flooding your mind. But unlike the flashing of one's life in the moment before the end, this moment is filled with purpose — unfocused and clumsy, but desperately bold and determined. The message is not conveyed in words, but in feelings and impressions, unbound by the limitations of language and becoming that much more distinct and impossible to misinterpret. ]
Get away from the Manor.
Get out of Highstorm if you can.
The Meridian —
[ ...and then, it's gone. Both the message and the roaring sensations that carry it halt abruptly, like the slamming of a door — but, even a slammed door makes a sharp noise as it shuts, sends a gust of wind as it moves on its hinges. This sudden stop doesn't come with anything, no friction, no echo, not even the intentionality of closing a Communion once a person has said what they meant to say. Just stillness. ]
I infuse my ink with the spell in question… and once transferred to your skin, it sinks in and becomes a part of you. Once that happens… the effects are yours. Not your mind’s, of course, that would make them rather ineffective… but your body’s. They will react to whatever I have attuned them to…

[The sensation in Communion is like smoke, drifting in slow and sensual as it wraps around, seeping in... before the voice solidifies, husky and low.]
Did you have a nice nap... ?
no subject
Tch.
How long were we gone?
no subject
I hope you didn’t have any plans before that Oracle trial…
no subject
[Something like a sneer.]
Is that all?
People are acting like it's been eons.
no subject
[A low, teasing sort of chuckle]
It's quite a long time for most people, you know.
[... But they are not most people, are they?]
no subject
[yep]
But I'm guessing you haven't reached out just to wish me a good morning.
What do you want?
no subject
Now, you wound me~ I can be a caring and generous woman.
[... Can be. But no matter.]
One who has an opening upcoming in her parlor schedule. If you still want that ink a bit "late".
no subject
[A pause.]
Remind me again how this magic of yours works?
no subject
[… Well, what she explains of it, anyway.]

In your case, “charm”, was it?
My GOSH. I'm alive I swear. Sorry!
Binding charms, specifically.
Anything that could slow me down or trap me.
[But mostly the trapping.]
Chaos should run free, don't you think?
<3!
"Sir Chaos"?
[She chuckles to herself, a husky little sound.]
I do hope chaos could slow down and be still long enough for my work... and for it to heal properly and set?
no subject
That your tattoos can protect someone from charms?
[His presence curls like smoke.]
no subject
[Smoke meets smoke.]
That, you need not worry for.
So, can you tone down that chaos long enough to accept it properly?
[Once he actually says it... She's ready to go.]
no subject
Yes. I can be still enough for a tattoo to heal.
no subject
Do you prefer Kowloon or Highstorm? I have parlors in both.
no subject
I'm often there.
no subject
My parlor is in the back.
And I will be waiting~
