Characters: [AU1] Kanaya Maryam and all you lovely people!
Setting: Various (2, 22, 39, 47)
Format: Starting action, will match c:
Summary: Kanaya stares at paintings and tries to keep herself healthy.
Warnings: Kanaya is affected by the event. She now looks to be 22 sweeps old. Full tl;dr here. Also, language, mutant angst, potential mentions of character death.

floor 47 - curtain floor
[She's really just passing through this floor -- she doesn't exactly want to linger -- but if she sees anyone on the floor looking at the curtains with consideration, she offers a warning.] I would not recommend looking behind any of those.

floor 39 - gymnasium
[Exercise is an important part of staying healthy, and Kanaya is well aware that she needs to start paying attention to her health. So she's exercising! Mostly lifting weights and running laps. But in addition to lifting weights and running laps, she also might be caught resting pretty frequently -- potentially even coughing while trying to catch her breath, if the encounter is really unlucky.]

floor 22 - art gallery
[Kanaya has never exactly been in any position to appreciate the fine arts. So, the time she's spending in the art gallery now is mostly being spent staring at the particularly pretty pieces. There is probably plenty of symbolism to be had, but an Introduction to Art Appreciation wasn't exactly included in her schoolfeeding. Despite being a fully-grown adult troll, she's staring at the more complex paintings with the awe of a little kid. Someone didn't get out enough as a grub.]

floor 2 - infirmary
[Killing monsters is a bit of a messy job, so it's no surprise that she's got cuts and bruises to treat. She's at the check-up area, cleaning up and dressing her minor wounds. Her cape (which was actually once a jacket, but...well, she doesn't exactly fit into it anymore) is hung over the back of the chair she's seated in as she tidies herself up.]

curtains

[glowsferatu]

[ it was a little odd, kanaya thought, that in seven sweeps she couldn't remember having been in this room before. with a wine glass carrying a deep blue liquid in one hand, she was running the fingers of her other across the curtain. she's taking a sip when the voice interrupts her, and can't help almost choking on her drink when she sees kanaya.

seven sweeps and she's somehow managed to avoid meeting her til now, as well. and now she has blue blood dripping down her chin and is apparently doing something stupid. marvelous first impression there. she swallows the blood and tries to wipe her face as furtively as she can. ]

Why's that? What is it, exactly, that seems to lurk behind them?

[gloomyapoplectic]

[In contrast, this Kanaya has seen -- at least one other Kanaya in her stay. She should probably be more surprised, but she's a little distracted with the way the other Kanaya reacts. So this is a(nother) different one, it seems.

She shifts awkwardly and raises a hand to cover her mouth and therefore her slight amusement. There's a moment where she has to compose herself before she answers her jade counterpart.]

Nothing. As long as you do not look.

I thought I'd heard something from the other end, but... [ she cautiously draws her hand away from the curtain, lips pursed. she feels a bit foolish now. ] I suppose it would be better to take your word for it.

[ slowly, she turns to face...herself? she isn't quite sure how to exactly definite the limitations of identity at the moment. ] So, I guess you're... [ me? ] her. This really had to happen eventually, didn't it?
