If the backdoor party does kill Violetta off (which I'm not against), it would be wise to get away from Karie when she realizes what you guys did, and what her relation to Violetta is, er, I mean, was. Just as a heads up.

Karie pulls the bowstring back and forth. There was nothing overtly satisfying about the bow. She plucked the bow string like a harp, still sitting on a log.

Alright, now I've got to plan for this! How old is Violetta, Sandy? Just so I can work this through.

"I am who I am. Love me or hate me. I just do what I do. My whole career back at the club was about being "naughty", if that's the term you wish to use. However, in show biz, that's what people want. People love me for loving them, and isn't that what everyone wants in a way? 'Cause lets face it, I certainly didn't get too much in my teens. That's when I went all rebellious and what not." Karie begins to check her hands, the part of her body which the make up usually smears off first. "So, what's your whole reason for being here? I swear I've heard enough stories to fill a book with. A really thick book. Oh crud, the make up's smearing!" Karie pulls out her cosmetics kit and seats herself on a nearby tree stump. She then masterfully begins to reapply the smeared makeup on her hands.

"Take it away Nessa." Karie gestures her hands in a circular motion, finally laying her hands out in the same manner a subject would honour his ruler.

Karie looks over at Nessa. "Oh, so you want in on the action too, eh? Whatever floats your boat Nessa!" Karie smiled seductively. "Oh, and Johon, what I just did was an example of using lust to get at someone. If someone asks you to go up to their apartment, it's a trap. In particular women seem to do this most often for some reason. Don't ask why, it just seems that most men like to think with their Johnson and not their brain. Don't be one of those guys. As well, don't ever do what I just attempted to do to you unless you have a really good disguise." Karie gets up and brushes herself off.

"Well that depends on what you'd like to know. To be honest I may claim to be the world's greatest pickpocket, but it's not my real profession. Before coming here I worked in a nightclub. It was before that I was pickpocket. So, what do you want to know?" Karie's grin widens as she lays on the grass with Johon, her more flirtatious side beginning to show. "I would teach you about hiding things, but unfortunately you don't have a pair of these." Karie motions towards her chest. If there were a metaphor for the lesson, it would have been a fly and a Venus fly trap.

Wait, if Violetta is in fact related to Sorrow, and if Karie is related to Violetta, does that make Sorrow Karie's great x15 grandfather?

Karie nods her head back and forth in slight approval. "Nothing spectacular. You did step on a twig, and your pace could be quickened, but for your first time, not bad. However, another thing you should also know: where your own items are!" Karie smiled as she lifted Johon's large, jingling sack of gold coins in front of his face.

So we aren't talking about Karie?

I really need to throw that whole fiasco at Scary, Jerry, and Thomas Jefferson. Also, I guess while we're on the topic of oddball items, since Karie's lactose intolerant, should that make her weak to the cheese element?

Since I believe I'm the only one who owns it, they'd have to pay a pretty penny for me to cast it. Hey! I could start a business!

I now really want to see Violetta live, just to see if this could fruition into something beautiful. It would be up to Sandy's discretion, but I really like the idea. Karie being related to Violetta via younger sister, or perhaps Violetta cared for Karie at a young age which lead her to crime makes a bit of sense, and it makes Karie go that much farther into Crush the Cutie and Hero Blue Screen of Death.

It's possible. I do have plans for her sister, but if anyone wants to meddle with it, drop me a suggestion. The only problem with that is that we know Karie's parents were wealthy merchants, she was the youngest of two daughters, and that she got to Eubric by ship. Although, the wonderful thing about what's given says nothing about adoption!

Vomiting in a back alley, are we? Taking lessons from Karie I see! Also, just noticed Karie and Violetta have the same face and hair colour. The only difference is how Karie does her hair it seems.

Thus Violetta is now newt in the street. Yay.

Karie simply shook her head. "I'm... um... a very attractive young noblewoman out for a stroll in a park at night which is devoid of humanoid life, who has info on... I don't know... Lord megablocks-Cheeks, who's making off with tax money. I'm not to be killed- look, just take the pouch! Rationally, if I hear anything like a snapped twig or clanking armour, I'm going to turn around, and if I see you, which I should since their aren't many trees, I'm going to get suspicious. Look, if it helps, I'll go easy on you and act like a ditz. If you get seen, and you're trying to pickpocket, murder, or interrogate someone forcefully, it's not always the end. Usually it is, but I wanna see what you can do if your target's not that bright. If it makes you more comfortable, use a small staff and pretend it's a knife. Pretend I'm a target you need to kill. It's pretty much the same as stealing this pouch." Karie turns back around and prepares for her role, knowing she'll need to use it.

"Seems as if Nessa needs sometime to prep, so I'll teach you a few stealth moves." Karie pulls out a small leather pouch and fills it with rocks from the lake. She then moves a ways from Johon and turns her back from him, the pouch dangling around the back of her belt. "Steal it without me knowing you did." The grass between the two had a lot of debris in it, branches, puddles, and other hazards.

I will bite people's ears off for that thing! You do not want to instigate something Chromeknight!

Karie gets jittery when Johon throws his punch, dodging it barely, but becoming off balanced. She then sees Johon's kick coming towards her staff. Knowing what to come she holds a steady grip on her staff and takes the kick in strides, which sends her stepping backwards. "And here I thought my kick was rough!" She responds with a kick to Johon's gut, which she misses intentionally by a few centimeters, followed by a swing from her staff, aimed at his chest.

"Oh, well that's easy!" Karie punches Johon squarely in the gut, sending him to the gtound, and retrieves her staff. "If that hurt I'd has to see you get in the way of my boot!" Karie lends a hand out, and helps Johon up.

Karie tries to wrestle Johon's grip off the staff by jostling the staff about to no avail. She eventual stops, still holding onto the staff. "Touché Johon, that's a rather clever trick. I see what you mean." She turns to Nessa, still gripping the staff with both hands. "Nessa, you want in on this? You look a little bored?"

Even more reason for Flipz to sell it to me! Can we get a petition going? "Get Karie the Cat Suit!" Just as a heads up, for the time being Karie's still in her regular attire. I just thought it would be fun to have Karie in the Cat Suit as my avatar for the time being.

"You want me to swing at you? Alright, you asked for it." Karie swings at Johon.
