“Me and @napsbeforesleep discussing #AlteredCarbon s2 and then an old Russell Peters skit we watched at the same time. Me: "What if they make an s3 and have a Desi Kovacs?" Her: "Like Russell Peters?" Me: *Thinking of a Russell Peters-Kovacs...”

lmao my good good friend @onemerryjester (who by the way is an EXCELLENT artist and writer -- double threat!) and i are just as obsessed about altered carbon as you are,and we were talking about potential other “sleeves” that takeshi could be featured in and when discussing the possibility of a desi sleeve... this joke re: russell peters came up!!!! im crying

They only ever come this close when they're little more than drunk -- trading unbridled chuckles back and forth, from some forgotten joke he made about twenty minutes ago. 

"Stupid," Kristin admonishes him. She knocks her forehead against his. "Ow," she winces, regretting how hard of a force she used. 

He laughs. "Now who's stupid?" he retorts. 

"Shut up." Her smile grows wider. Her eyelashes look so long from how close he is. He can his face reflecting off her dark brown eyes -- the gaijin body. 

For the first time, it doesn't really bother him. For the first time, maybe he doesn't really care. What does it matter what body he is in if what he can still experience the world all the same?

Or at least that's all that's on his mind right now. His eyes gradually close. So does the distance between their lips. A soft nudge. An accidental bump.

He hears her giggle, and it makes him chuckle. 

He feels her smile on his lips. He leans in to seal it.

You don’t think it’s possible to go so far you can’t come back?  Maybe. When I get there, I’ll let you know. When you get there, I’ll be right next to you. And I’ll stop you.

Long ago and worlds away, there was a young Princess orphaned in a time of war. She was called upon to lead the armies of her kingdom, for there was no other. She was the fiercest of warriors; beloved of her people; unstoppable on the field. She rode out every day and saved her subjects in battle after battle. But every night when the fighting was done, she was alone.

Until one day a peasant boy came looking to join her army. Lonely and angry and fierce as she. For the first time she found that when she strode out to the field to save others there was someone at her side who had come to save her.

Then there came the darkest battle of the war. The princess and her peasant boy stood side by side and vowed that they would be separated by nothing less than death itself. She fell to an enemy sword and died before his eyes. And those who heard the story cried for the death of love.
