Check-In Day: A Carnival of WTFery

[st_alksthroughwalls]

Burning up whenever she'd 'lived' too long was hella inconvenient.

Terrifying the first few times, too, but once she got used to that, it wasn't that different from becoming insubstantial. But being reborn from ashes? That full on sucked. Not because it hurt particularly. It wasn't exactly comfortable, but neither were the pointe shoes and the headdress she'd taken from the box to go with the Firebird costume she'd been working on for the last few months.

No, the part of being reborn from ashes that sucked was the mouth, eyes, ears, nose and other mucus membranes coated in ashes that came with it. Gross trumped uncomfortable and inconvenient any day. And the worst part was that if she tried to get herself totally cleaned up, she barely had enough time to do anything before she was ashes again.

Tending bar with bird claws was damn near impossible as it was. So by the time the newcomer arrived, she'd given up and taken to drifting lazily on the warm currents. She burned up less often that way.

Horses, as a general rule, did not have wings. Caroline was absolute certain about that. Although, she had once done a film that included Pegasus of myth. That had been played by the sweetest mare, which had put up with being saddled, literally, with large clumsy wings.

She sipped from the glass, and tried to think of a solution instead of simply shutting down the request. Her acting classes had always emphasized that you never did that.
"Not usually. Do you need to fly?"

"Yes." Valkyrie stated plainly, circling her glass around against the surface of the table. "It's in my nature. I used to have such a steed, but he...met a warrior's end."

Wings. Caroline didn't pay much attention to other people, except in as much as they might be useful to her career (a survival skill in Hollywood,) but she did know that there were some of the very strange sorts that could do things that she called miracles or impossibilities except that they were right there in front of her.

And so, in the spirit of finding people useful, she perked up. "Why, you should ask Regina!"

Although, now that Caroline thought of it, she hadn't seen Regina in some time.

"Regina?" Valkyrie asked the natural question, perking up in the slightest.
