She's Alive [Open]

[teethofneedles.livejournal.com]

 Anyone wandering into the media library this morning would find a somewhat unfamiliar looking young woman (about eighteen, possibly nineteen) sitting in front of the equipment, head tilted back and eyes closed as she listened to some good, old-fashioned rock and roll. She looks fit, in excellent physical condition and seems cheerful enough. She has one leg folded over the opposite knee, toe tapping as she keeps time with the music. Yeah, she's discovered just how awesome music from twentieth century Earth is and she's enjoying it. 

Give her a minute and she'll probably notice whoever wanders in after her.

"Azeroth? Ah, so you're from the same world as Alastirra." A world where magic was apparently commonplace.

"A planet called Earth. I've run into a number of people from worlds with the same name, but none from my particular version." He shrugged. "It's probably fortunate; at the point when I was removed from the timeline, there were more zombified drones walking around than people."

Sliiiiight understatement there.

"Alastirra...? Uh, yeah. Although I don't thik I've ever run into anyone quite like her before..."

Because she didn't remember Draenei at all.

His description earned a sympathetic frown and a slow shake of the head, "Sorry to hear that. What the Hell happened?"

"Neither have I. Perhaps her species is relatively rare?" Then again, wasn't a member of the Council from the same species? Maybe not.

"Someone decided they wanted immortality," he said. "And along came a virus of unknown origin that offered to give it to them. But containment failed, and it became airborne. Very few humans were immune, but even those that were were subject to attacks by the drones.

...Which was why I was created, really."

"...maybe. Then again, haven't been everywhere in the world," Karis shrugged. She wasn't too worried about it.

His story, on the other hand, was rather tragic. Sounded like everything had decided to crap out at once.

"You trying to save the world?"

"Something like that. But even if we were able to take care of all the zombies, I don't know if it'll ever get back to the way it was." He shrugged again.

"Comparatively, Lordaeron sounds much more pleasant."

"Oh, yeah. Way better... Green hills, peaceful farms. It was a bit difficult after the war, but we've managed since then. Hell, da' even paid off the farm. Orcs aren't a threat anymore, trolls are kept quiet... Not sure if I was ever going to see action, but hell, not much of anyone to fight right now."

oh god, Karis D:

He smiled at her description of her home country. "It sounds like a wonderful place. I wish I could have seen it."

Where he'd come from, there wasn't much greenery left.

sob.

"Yeah, well..." She frowned and ran a hand through her hair. "...hope I get to see it again."

noooooo

Zouichi nodded. "I'm sure you will."

He wasn't, of course; none of them were, but he sincerely hoped Karis would be able to return to the Lordaeron of her memory.

"I should be going. It was nice to meet you, Karis."
