Description
Marlin exhaled and stepped away from the alley wall as he finished his latest masterpiece. He didn't show it, but he was a little on edge; he hadn't had one of his usual encounters with Katrina in a little while, and he knew he was due for one any day now.And speak of the devil: a whistle directed the ink mouse's attention to the far end of the alley, where a familiar purple figure was headed right for him at top speed. Not wanting to go down without a struggle this time, Marlin lunged at Katrina and tackled her right at the last second, knocking them both to the ground.
He didn't succeed in saving his own neck, but in the chaos the Headsnatcher accidentally took off her own head as well.
Both headless bodies landed with a thud on the ground, their heads touching down nearby. With a moan, Marlin found his head by touch and picked it up; Katrina did the same.
Both of them kept their eyes closed to minimize the vertigo as they tried to get their heads properly oriented again. After a moment of fiddling, Marlin and Katrina set their heads in place and made subtle adjustments.
"...Kat? My head's not fusing back on."
"Yeah, Marly, neither is mine. What do you think we're doing wrong?"
Still holding themselves together by hand, the panther and mouse opened their eyes to look at one another.
As soon as they saw each other, they burst out laughing. Not only had the two of them grabbed each other's heads by accident, but they'd somehow coordinated their movements so perfectly that neither had noticed the switch!
After they swapped heads and put themselves back together properly, Katrina waved goodbye to Marlin and dashed off. She was going to let him keep his head for the day; that little moment had been worth it.
A collaboration done with who wrote this wonderful story.

She might have some plans. The problem is, at the moment, Kiara-Ne is only a captain. It would be more her superiors problem if he did (Like Lien-Da)

Well Lien-da would have issues then. He has no respect for her are the other grandmasters.

I can't say anything about this one that I haven't also said about everything else you've done for me. As usual, you did a good job.

I couldn't have done this without your great story though

Of course.
...Now that you've drawn Katrina in a different pose, I think I've got a right to ask: how exactly are you imagining her tail?

lizardman22 In reply to sonicinterface [2012-11-24 01:06:38 +0000 UTC]
I see it as long and flexible (I guess like a cheetah's tail) to help her turn sharply when running fast. The blade/cutting edge being on the underside at the tip (The paler purple area). She holds it in a natural hooked shape (Scythe-shaped), but can straighten it out if she needs to.

Alright. I guess I'm just a little confused by the weird way it's bent in this picture.

lizardman22 In reply to sonicinterface [2012-11-24 01:15:01 +0000 UTC]
I see.
I think in this one, i made it a little thicker, and and because she's standing still, it's not held as stiff/straight as when she's running (The other picture)

And it's only bent in the one spot?

lizardman22 In reply to sonicinterface [2012-11-24 01:29:14 +0000 UTC]
That sharply bent, yes. It's the 'natural way' she holds it (To form that scythe shape), but it can straighten out if she needs it to.
