follow the white rabbit with @mparwyn

The tang of blood was in the air and for a moment, Karina was back at the Black Diamond, her grandfather's personal fighting ring. It had taken years before she was even allowed to watch matches, let alone participate. It was not the thing, to have Printsessa be exposed to blood and carnage. At least, that had been the thing before they realized just how deep her fangs really went.

Fangs that were carefully kept now, as she surveyed the fighting ring of the Pits. Matches apparently were quite common every day and despite the atmosphere of excitement as the recent match ended, there was a hush around the Pits that seemed subdued, as if any rowdiness would invoke a wrath not meant to be stirred.

"If I had known you had such a punch, zaya, perhaps I should not have ended things between us, yes?" Her voice was a soft hush, still easily discernible as she put herself in the path of the victor. "I had missed you so," With the purr of a lover, she stepped close, and heeding not the smell of sweat and blood on him, embraced Arwyn.

reconnection with @eirwenxmp

Karina was not prone to sentimentality. no tears shed, just shoulders squared and proceeding forward. All things considered, Karina knew there was very little thing she needed to weep about. Despite the complete eradication of the world and life she knew, she was positively cheerful about the life she now can build. As cheerful as a grandchild of Koschei can.

But sentimentality had a way of creeping up on you, Karina mused to herself as she sampled the frosting of the sans rival, a soft hum escaped her lips. It tasted...familiar, almost too familiar, as if she were back in Moscow, in her grandfather's hotel, sampling the restaurant's desserts and....

"Now I can be mistaken..." Her voice carried as she sauntered her way towards the counter of Black Forest Bakery. "But these confections taste very familiar...." A smile bloomed across her face that seemed positively predatory.

Namaste | Open Starter

any new student in Zero to Hero's yoga classes

In the tranquil confines of the Zero to Hero yoga studio, the scent of incense and the soft sound of flowing water filled the air, creating an atmosphere of serenity and peace. Karina, daughter of Wadget and esteemed yoga instructor, moved gracefully among the students, her movements fluid and effortless like the dance of leaves in the wind.

As the newest student entered the studio, Karina approached with a warm smile, her eyes sparkling with something different from kindness.

"Welcome, dear one," she greeted softly, her voice a soothing melody amidst the tranquil ambiance of the studio. "I am Karina, and it is an honor to guide you on your journey into the realm of yoga." It was the greeting that they suggested she do, but she could even feel the sneer in her own voice. Still, she looked competent enough, with her blonde hair pulled away from her slim face in a braid that snaked down her back. The yoga outfit also left very few to the imagination, and most of the other students had already gazed their fill. Karina didn't mind, she was actually pleased with the attention, since more and more students took her classes.

With a graceful encouragement, Karina led the new student to a comfortable spot on the studio floor, where a soft mat awaited their arrival. Karina on the other hand took her spot at the front of the class, where her own mat lay.

"Yoga is not merely a physical practice, but a journey of self-discovery and inner transformation," Karina explained, her words sounding quite practiced, but her soft lilt made it believable. "Together, we shall explore the depths of body, mind, and spirit, unlocking the divine potential that resides within you."

"Shall we?"

❛ you treat all your ladies like this? ❜

"Just the ones I particularly fancy," Karina's voice was sultry and suggestive, eyes flickering with mischief even as she picked up the next thing on the clothes' rack. "And you would look absolutely stunning as a pickle." The husky laughter flowed from lips with genuine mirth and not at all mocking.

"Oh darling, ease up. It's Halloween soon, when else are we going to get costumes? Though I suppose I could also cut up one of my old gowns and go as a deposed heiress, but that would be too on the nose don't you think?" Karina spun to face Eirwen again, a cheerleading costume flush against her frame.

bye bye birdie

ruffling old feathers with @mpirelia

Karina thought to herself that she could start to really enjoy herself in Mount Phoenix. Almost nobody blinked at her ability to turn into a snake, though she hadn't been able to grace anybody with her transformation abilities. It also seemed that many names of her past had gathered unto the island, and were she the type to believe in kismet, she would have said this was all meant to be.

Still, it didn't take that long for her to find her next stop, tasting their scent in the air with the practiced ease of a predator. Their shifted form allowed access even to the tightest of spaces, which was how she managed to slink her way into this particular abode.

"Ptichka," She crooned as she stretched languorously across the plush seat, thereby spreading her own scent across the furniture. "You are very hard woman to find~ Did you know I almost died without you by my side?" A pout of her ruby-painted lips as blonde hair tumbled over her shoulders in what would seem like a artful display. "You really should make it up to me,"

little savage | k + g

reunited with @mpxgiselle

"Darling, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were stalking me." Karina's greeting was sickly sweet even as she slunk her way to the front of the class, yoga mat tucked underneath a lithe arm. She looked the epitome of a socialite with a career, blonde hair tied up in a bun, slim body that looked that she never worked a day in her life. Only the hardened look behind her eyes, a flash of something like slit-like pupils seemed to appear before settling back to their usual blue, would tell you any different.

Karina smiled a smile that didn't reach her eyes as she surveyed the newcomer in her Vinyasa class. "Are you sure you can keep up with this class, pet? One requires a certain...flexibility." Nevermind that Giselle had provided Karina with a service that now bordered on a life debt, old habits died hard when it came to how she interacted with "friends".
