The Skarr’s Performing Combatant

[Karmen walks over to Skarrlette and Pale Vessel after parting ways with Spotlight for a bit]

Skarrlette!! I’m glad to see that you’re well!

-@skarr-karmen

SISTER DEAR HI HELLO!!!! HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE ALSO WELL!!!! :D

*Korra and the Vessel just watches as Skarrlette excitedly greets its sister.*

[Karmen notices Korra and the Vessel and gives them both a wave before kneeling down at the edge of the water]

How have things been going for you, my dear Sibling? We haven’t spoken since my voice was hoarse…

*Korra and and the Vessel waves back.*

In- indeed-...

Things have been going.. well I'd say. I still haven't found Kae though...

…If things are going well, then why hesitate? You can be honest with me-…

[Karmen pauses for a moment, looking at the giant scar on Skarrlette’s chest and then noticing the cuts on their arms… And to make it worse, Karmen also noticed Korra’s wounds as well…]

. . .

[After a moment of hesitation, she stands up and takes off her dress, not truly caring about her defective wings right now. Right now her main objective is to comfort her sibling. Slowly, she steps into the spa and gently hugs Skarrlette]

H- huh..? Sister dear...?

*Skarrlette is shocked- it does not understand why- Why is Karmen suddenly hugging them? It was appreciated but why.... The Vessel tilts its head in concern. While Korra looks at the two, seemingly worried after noticing...

S-sorry, I just-…

[Karmen lets go and backs up a bit to fully look at the scars…]

…What happened to you?

. . .

Oh- well they're just... scars I've acquired in battle Karmen!! Especially the one on my chest!! That one came from one particularly nasty.. fight... There is nothing to worry about here sister dear!!

*Skarrlette responded in.. a sorta convincing manner. With a smile that looks forced when you look closer at it. It wasn't truthful at all in the origins of said scars. But they were old and what happened then has long since been in the past. There was nothing for Karmen to worry about. The Vessel just stared while Korra... Seemed to be slightly nodding at part of what Skarrlette was saying.*

[Again, Karmen noticed the hesitation in Skarrlette’s voice. As much as she wanted to ask about it, she knew now wasn’t the time… After all, they’re both here to relax. Not to worry.]

Ok…

*As Korra watched the two skarrs they... noticed something about the tallest of the two... Something they know is atypical of skarr queen and one that reminds them of...* . . . Your wings...

[Karmen freezes… She had completely forgotten about her defective wings when she got into the water… Her wings that were way too small for a fully grown Skarr, especially a Skarr Princess…]

. . .

What do you think of Pane from the brief interaction you had with them?

Pane… You’re referring to the Vessel, right? The one that called Spotlight “Spaligh?”

From what I could tell, they’re a really good kid! Spotlight speaks highly of them so that just further proves my point that Pane seems like a really pleasant Vessel.

However Spotlight hasn’t exactly talked about them lately… I wonder why…

Reblog and I’ll give you a song that fits your blog.

rosy-official

A large group of people arrive, Dew and Scarlet at the front, all of them looking weary. Dew and Scarlet in particular look exhausted.

“Haugh…haugh…haugh…finally…finally made it! Felt like for-fucking-ever!”

“Come on, it was only a day at most. Anyways…”

Dew turns toward Rosy.

“Hello there! You’re Rosy, right? Of Rosy’s Spa? We’d like to use the spa for…”

Dew pauses, then begins counting the people. When he’s done, he turns back around.

“Ten people please!”

-@scarlet-and-dew

Also tagging @wolf-and-fox, @shimering-crystals-scarlet-shell, @arkus-the-ironclad, @spotlight-the-performer, and @skarr-karmen for this

*Rosy slaps herself in the face, then blinks a few times*

Ten? Uhh... do you have the necessary rosaries for each bug? It'll be a hundred rosaries in total, kekeke!

Scarlet and Dew both blink at Rosy, then back at each other.

"...Scarlet. We don't have any money."

"Can't we just trade in some items we have?"

"All of our non-essential items are back at our tent. Y'know, the one you abandoned at Far Fields like a month ago?"

"...Ah. Shit."

@arkus-the-ironclad

arkus-the-ironclad

Ah, don't worry yourselves, young ones. Rosy? I hope this will suffice! (Arkus looks at nothing, and mutters something to someone indeterminable. After a moment, there is a large bag in his hands.) Here! (He hands Rosy the bag, which is full of three thousand Rosaries.) I'm paying for everyone! @rosy-official

rosy-official

*Rosy takes one look in the bag, and her eyes nearly fall out of her head. She quickly shoves the bag under her wings, and opens the door*

Please, please, do come in! I do already have a few customers inside, but I'm sure there's enough space for everybody, kekeke!

I... I hope...

"Oh, thank you Arkus!"

"...Thanks, Arkus."

The two head inside the Spa first, scouting the area.

The first thing they notice is a little ball that looked like the Radiance sitting on the lap of a Conductor with a smiley face inscribed on the bearing on their hood. A larger click beetle is also there, sitting nearby. They also feel some shadowy presence wash over the two, but they couldn't quite discern what.

The next thing they notice is a vessel that seems to be covered in gems. Next to them, who Scarlet takes special notice of, are two bugs who look like a mixture of Skarrs and Karakians, one with with all sorts of scars, Dew tries to ignore the scars on that particular bug's arms and the other who looks like they've never seen a battle.

"Well now, who are these graceful blessings before my eyes?"

The most important thing that Dew noticed, however, was a familiar sheen on golden plating.

"...Oh no..."

@third-sentinel

third-sentinel

Trinn emerges from the water to look at the group arriving.

It smiles at the pair. It's genuine, seemingly, but considering it's... everything, you may never know for sure.

It waves, before sinking back down.

@scarlet-and-dew

wolf-and-fox

The Dreambound Group consists of: Crimson, who is being very polite and staying to the side - and attached to their shoulder is one highly curious Wolf, Fox, who is starting to look through satchel upon satchel to aid in costs almost on pure habit, Aaaaand Wispspark, an entire FOX, who is also being very polite and somewhat hiding behind the entire group. They immediately almost offered to stay outside (mostly due to simply just how very tall they were compared to literally everyone else), which a grand total of Zero in the group was having. Fox does actually raise their head mid-search in time to see Arkus carry literally the entire group on charges. Fox keeps that note in mind in case something comes up.

It takes some convincing from Fox and Crimson to actually lead Wispspark IN, who is suddenly very aware of just how tall they are and keeping themselves as low as possible. It takes some MORE convincing from Crimson to WOLF, who has been standing on the edge of the actual pool for five minutes, staring at it really intently. The only real explanation Crimson can give for Wolf's sudden hesitation is "experience with Greenpath acid", which probably does not actually explain anything. Once Wolf knows that it's WATER, it is HAPPY to dive straight into the water and VIBE. Fox also seems to pick up on Trinn's presence, and quietly bows their head in greeting. They remember the last meeting, and they have every intention to not make this a potential confrontation on their end. Wolf, however, also spots Pale Vessel and company, and makes their own location KNOWN with a short overjoyed howl- HI!!!! HELLO!! Crimson doesn't speak much further outside of to help Wispspark settle down near such a large group.

@shimering-crystals-scarlet-shell

*As the vessel notices the Dreambound group. It greets them- A big splash of water and giggling can be heard. Looking at where it happens. You can see Korra has dunked Skarrlette head in the water. Skarrlette lifts their head from out of the water while giggling. Korra antennae wiggles in happiness while giggling. And the fluttering of whatever is left of their ripped off wings. Katt just looks at them, looking unimpressed while slightly smiling.*

[Karmen immediately notices Skarrlette in the distance and begins walking towards the group]

[Spotlight, also noticing their own sibling and not wanting to be separated from Karmen, also walks towards the group]

@amma-of-pharloom

[Spotlight and Karmen were performing in Bellhart when Spotlight noticed both Scarlet and Dew walk in. As soon as their performance ended, they quickly ran up to them]

Greetings, Dew and Scarlet!

[Spotlight bows their head as Karmen walks up]

My Light, are these The Fighter and The Kin you’ve mentioned?

Yes! Meet my Kin in Flames, Scarlet, and…my friend who helped during the war, Dew!

A pleasure to meet you both.

[Karmen bows her head]

So, what brings the both of you to…Bellhart?

@spotlight-the-performer @skarr-karmen

Dew and Scarlet both noticeably brighten up at seeing Spotlight alive and well.

"SPOTLIGHT! Thank the gods you're alright, we couldn't find you at all after the Karakian War ended!"

"Spotlight! Good to see you're still alive and well!"

Scarlet blinks at seeing Karmen.

"Who's the Skarr?"

"Scarlet, don't be rude!"

"What?! I'm asking a perfectly valid question!"

[Karmen lets out a small laugh before bowing]

My name is Karmen, The Skarrsinger and The Successor of Karmelita.

A pleasure to meet you both.

Dew gives a polite bow as well, Scarlet following suit with their own bow. Noticeably to Spotlight, it was less flamboyant than the previous times they bowed. If the duo look closely, they could see spots of dried blood on their horns that they had failed to clean off.

“Pleasure to meet you as well, Karmen.”

Dew looks back toward Spotlight, saying what he had tried to earlier.

“I tried to look for you while I was…looking for other survivors, but you were nowhere to be found. What happened after we split up?”

Scarlet gives Dew a brief side glance during the pause in Dew’s words, but doesn’t say anything. She’s not in the mood to argue about that right now.

spotlight-the-performer

Right, I had almost forgotten about…us splitting up…

[Spotlight pauses for a moment, noticing the blood and how odd Scarlet was acting…]

I ran into Trinn and another named Pierre who…held off Khann’s forces while I went to…go fight him……

[Spotlight pauses again, recalling the entire fight vividly. Almost losing, The Void Mage, Hive Knight… All of it still weighed on their mind]

[Karmen stayed silent as Spotlight spoke… They fought Khann? Why didn’t they tell her?]

There was a small silence after that, with neither Dew nor Scarlet speaking. That period was a whole time for them, and they’d like to not reflect on that so soon.

“…Hey Karmen, you called Spotlight your light a bit ago. Why did you call them that?”

“SCARLET?!”

“WHAT?! I’m just curious!”

Hm? Oh! That’s because Spotlight is my partner~

My precious Light~…

"...Ah. Well, uh...good-good for you then!"

Scarlet is slightly disappointed, both in the fact that Karmen was taken already and THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE THEY KNEW WHO HAD A MATE AND THEY DIDN'T WHY THE FUCK COULDN'T THEY GET A MATE

Dew suddenly remembers something Spotlight asked them earlier, eyes widening slightly.

“Oh wait, we never explained why we were here, did we?”

"Uhh...no, we didn't."

"Ahh..."

@shimering-crystals-scarlet-shell

*Korra just awkwardly stood there. Watching as the conversation go on. Though something about that skarr is... familiar in a way...*

…Who’s this?

[Spotlight on the other hand almost immediately grabbed their nail before stopping when their claw was halfway there. They were still on edge from the war…]
