This curse repeat I welcome. It's a pleasure to see Celeste again.



(OOC - Orchid mantis Pic #1 and Pic #2. Pretty predator with fast reflexes. 'Celeste' is Latin for 'Heavenly', a reference to Luke's angelic appearance.)

And that is what?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

She is a mantis.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Huh. What is she, some sort of insect?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Yes. Although, unlike the true orchid mantis, she is far too large for flower sitting.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Ah, I see. Mine is a bird..

Hawk~

Hawk rather. The variety is fascinating, isn't it? All manner of animals manifesting...

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

I noticed there's a higher rate of mythical animals this time around.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Does this one happen often?

I wonder what the significance of that is-- if your soul's something that doesn't actually exist.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Twice in total.

In some worlds, those animals do. In others, for example the common housecat is a thing of myth or unknown.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Pity, I rather like it.

I told you you'd come around.

Hmph. Well, that's a good point.

Re: [Voice]

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is enjoyable.

However, those with large daemons are probably looking forward to midnight.

[cold_dry_pieces]

It could make living arrangements difficult. I think a few people ended up with horses... Matkustaja's at least been good about staying out of the way.

Re: [Voice]

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Given that daemons need to stay within a certain range of their persons, one can only imagine how awkward things must get with a horse in the bathroom.

[--amidala--.livejournal.com]

A repeat curse...Do those happen a lot?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Sometimes. Speaking in different languages, outbursts into song, gender change and body switching seem to repeat the most

[--amidala--.livejournal.com]

How very interesting. And what type of creature is that?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Insect. The common term for Celeste's species is 'praying mantis'.

[--amidala--.livejournal.com]

And that would be an Earth creature, correct?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[notawhiteant.livejournal.com]

Nothing against you personally...but Pesche really hates mantises.

[ooc: Totally not him he dislikes. It's this guy (http://manga.bleachexile.com/bleach-chapter-310-page-12.html). Robbed Pesche's master of her powers and memories. Not a nice man.]

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

I assure you, not on the menu.

[notawhiteant.livejournal.com]

Pesche didn't mean to be rude. But there's a "mantis" named Nnoitra Jiruga who did my friend Nel a very bad turn.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Interesting, I had thought of him as a cobra.

[notawhiteant.livejournal.com]

You know him? No, mantis. Santa Teresa is the name, I think.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Not personally, but Nnoitra has made a name for himself here.

[notawhiteant.livejournal.com]

Not surprising. He acts like that, but on the inside he's really quite pitiable. At least Nel-sama always said so.

[mildlyreckless.livejournal.com]

Oh, she's very pretty!

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

We both thank-you.

[mildlyreckless.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Is she very small?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

She's far larger than a true mantis. Celeste is about parakeet size.

[mildlyreckless.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

I assume the size increase is a safety precaution. Most true insects are quite small.

[mildlyreckless.livejournal.com]

That's good news for Celeste then!

1/2

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Wow... :o

2/2

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

I think that's the most unique daemon I've seen today.

Re: 2/2

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Thank-you.

Having seen your daemon, that would explain past curse induced squirrelness.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

. . . . yeah. I still wonder why a squirrel, but... I suppose such are the mysteries of life.
