A very happy birthday Page 4127Autumn--Fury Ember lay on the porch, smiling up at the stars. Somehow, even though Rhi had been the only one to wish him a happy birthday, today was just special...a good day, even if nothing exciting had happened. Now, it was almost over, and he wanted to spend the last little bit by himself, reflecting. Now that he knew just how old he was -damn Kitumn's book- he realized he had a lot to work out in his life, more than he'd originally thought, even. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Trelweny & Aiden had kicked the wizard out of the library. Liliana was asleep so the left the scholar surprisingly on his own. And where else to go when he was on his own besides HQ? If he went to Nari's at this time he might wake MauCho.
He walked, and spotting a familiar shape on the porch found himself hurrying more than was usual for the scholarly wizard. "Ember! You look well, Soul's Brother."
Remus was all smiles as he approached his friend. "A good day?" Autumn--Fury Ember grinned widely as Remus approached him, and he leapt from to porch to pounce his friend. "Remus!" he exclaimed, nuzzling him without a second thought. "Every time I see you, I realize how little I see you! Yes, a good day, all in all...how have you been? How is the family? I missed you, Remus!" Of course, the wizard wouldn't be able to answer all of Ember's questions at once, but in his excitement at seeing him again, Ember was talking about a mile-a-minute. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf He was so surprised & elated to see Ember so excited all he could do at first was laugh. It did not help that for the first time he was pounced by someone that was not Nari or one of their kits. Beneath his friend's paws Remus continued to smile. "As do I, my friend. As do I." He lifted his nose to nuzzle Embers chin lightly. "I have been well. We have been well." Now was not the time to bring up the last full moon; the first for his kits.
"And you? Rhian & the kits are well?" Autumn--Fury "Ah, hardly kits anymore..." Ember replied a bit wistfully, "Already, they're old enough to stay by themselves...teenagers, the both of them. Some days, I get the feeling that Aria thinks that she's already an adult..." he trailed off, realizing that he was prattling on about his children and smiling sheepishly. " Sorry. I'm just so proud of them...Rhian and I are very well, too. I admit, I worried that our relationship might suffer once Ari and Eli were born...but it's quite the opposite."
"But Remus, I don't believe our children have even met each other, and I have not even seen your kits...we should get together more often. I miss you when you're not about, Soul's Brother... Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "I miss you too, Ember." Remus liked to hear Ember ramble about his kits. He often did the same. "We really should get them all together sometime soon. They grow so fast..."
He sighed gently, both looking forward to & dreading when his kits would grow. "We should plan something. Perhaps a picnic. I am certain Nari would cook up something nice. Our two families, getting a chance to meet." Autumn--Fury "A picnic sounds lovely..." Ember enthused, smiling. "Time passes so quickly, sometimes...it seems not so long ago that Aria and Elian were born...and already, they're thinking about love, and worry, and sorrow...and I am getting old, dear friend. This day in particular is a thinking-day, a reflecting day- because today, Remus, I add yet another year to my experiances. Another year. When did I get so old...?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Remus blinked at his friend. Ember did not seem old to him. But then, even as a kit Remus had felt older than he was because of the memories of before. Perhaps Ember was older in his before too?
But then what he said sunk in & Remus' eyes lit up. "Today is your birthday? oh! Ember I had no idea! How wonderful! Happy birthday, my friend!" He hugged him fiercely. "Another year ... well it comes quickly I suppose, but it's really just one day at a time, isn't it Soul Brother?" Autumn--Fury "Thank you!" Ember laughed, hugging Remus back happily. "And yes, it is one day, one moment at a time...But it does go by before you know it. We have to cherish every moment we're given, because there won't be another like it.." Ember laughed, leaning gently against Remus for a moment before standing and stretching a bit. "And, on that note of holding time dear...I fear I must get back to my mate and children. It was wonderful to see you, Remus..please, feel free to stop by any time, or write me a letter, or some such thing. Good night, my Soul's Brother, and I hope to hear from you soon."

((December 2006 custom cosplay event))
Dazzler meets Iroh & Touga, Ginny meets Naruto & Wakko, Remus & Liliana chat with Ryuk guild page 1
dbz2004
All was quiet in the Realm's HQ for a few brief moments. It seemed like it was deserted until a large shadow began to wander towards the main room. A loud crash rang through the building as the figure knocked over one of the standing lights. A few moments later, the shadow was replaced by a bigm fluffy kitsu. "Why do humans leave such things here?" asked the fluffy kitsu. "Kitsu can get hurt by such insolance of humans."
Shaking his head, he sighed and began to make his way towards the fireplace, which was burning a nice, big fire that the local Pyro-happy kitsu had made earlier that day. Placing a clay pot inside of the fire, Uncle Iroh waited for his water to boil so that he can have his afternoon tea.
Rainberries A spunky tune wafts from the open doorway as a vibrant female in a silver suit skates through, honey-blonde hair streaming behind her. The sound emanates from a silver purse slung over her head. Most amazing of all perhaps is the glitter of lights that surround her.
Spotting the fire & the fluffy kitsu beside it she spins around in a close circle. "Are you boiling water in the fireplace? Far Out!" Yakobi Mud droped from the three long fur covered tails, as they were dragged along the ground. The wet dirt rolled from his shoulders to the dry ground bellow as the very piculiar grining creature gently trotted along. His white and blue striped shirt was almost entirly coloured like the earth, as was his shorts. The only thing that seemed to have the least dirt, mud, grime and grass stains were the male's shoes...Something which was incredibly odd.
His orange hair rolled down into his face, causing the boy to crash into a door. "HEY! Now whoooooo put a door here?" he questioned no one. Lifting a paw he stuck a single claw in his rather large nose, sitting upon his haunches.
And so the male sat, simply starting at the door before him, hair rolled into his face, eyes perfectly shaded from the light of the sun by a bright red cap, picking his nose.
"SOOOOOOO door." he said, pausing his joyful nose picking to slide closer to it. "Do yous like oranges?" he glanced around quickly just to make sure no one was listening on what he was speaking to the door. His long pointed ears rotated back, as his black eyes settled back on the door. "OK!" came a sudden cry as he pushed his head up against the door, pushing it open yet not ceasing to walk.
Now it seemed that the male would be there...Walking in place head against the door, pushing it open. dbz2004 Iroh glanced over at the femme that had appeared beside him and he smiled widely at her. "Of course! How am I supposed to make tea if my water isn't boiling?" He canted his head to one side and gazed at the vibrant female. "You sure are happy today. What's the occasion?" Rainberries Bright blue eyes smiled within the blue butterfly mask on her face. "I would've used the stove, but I love the idea of using a real fire." Skating in a tight backwards circle the Dazzler continued to smile. "I guess you could say the occasion is my latest gig! It earned me enough to catch up on all my bills and put something aside for when the gigs are slow."
Her circle spun tighter until she put out a paw to stop herself. "And you? What kind of tea will you be making?" For despite her flashy stage appearance the female was a well breed young lady. MoochiLove An orange clad Kitsu can be found marching into the HQ, a cheeky grin on his face, making the whisker marks on his cheek much more pronounced. He pauses to push up the metal headband tied to his head. He then continues his journey to find someone, anyone to talk to or acknowledge him. Yakobi Billy continued to walk forward, quite oviously not realizing that he was getting no where, and that he was now holding the door open. For a moment he coninuted to do so, until he realized it.
Someone had changed the floor!
The ground he was on, it was no longer dirt. No, it was something else. It was that kind of floor you find in a house. Yes that kind of floor. His paws ceesed movement, as he stood there, head still pushed against the door. Black eyes gazed at the floor, it's simmery surface. Mud slowly began to drip from his body, soon causing the area around the door to be covered in little lumps of mud and grass.
"OH MY GOSH!" he gasped, jumping back from the door. "Someone changed the floor!" His dark eyes widened as he backed up slowly, treacking mud everywhere he placed a paw.
It was only a short while after that he noticed. He wasn't exactly outside anymore. "Heeeeey. Who build a room thingy around me?" Eyes narrowed as he glanced to the door that he had been speaking with not too long ago.
"It was YOU! Wasn't it door!" he shouted, pointing to the poor door to the HQ. "Yooooou'vee got magical powers, huh?! Well I's got them too!" This comment was in fact, not true. Billy had no powers what so ever. Well unless you could count the lack of a brain and overly violent rage he possessed. [X]Natty-Chan[X] Heavy armor clinked as the large kitsu made his way inside. Stopping for a moment, the silver haired kitsu pushed the large furry boas out from under his feet, so that no one would trip over them. Golden hued orbs scanned the location and already spotted the other kitsus that were there. He didn't know any of them, but that was to be expected from someone new in the area. Without a word, he walked over to the small crowd of kitsus, perhaps to find an interesting one that might catch his eye. MoochiLove Naruto perked his ears up as he hears voices close by and curious on who is around, he follows them, wondering who would be around. Spying the gathered group of kitsu's, he folds his wings down over his jacket, padding over, a smile on his face. Rainberries The singer looked around, at the sound of someone shouting at the door. She was surprised at the number of faces around now & whistled softly. "Oh, man! Is that kid talking to the door?" Shaking her head she sat down. "Would you spot me some tea when it's ready? I could sure use the calm after seeing that."
Flipping her blue tipped tails she waved a paw at some the quiet new comers. "Hi-ya boys! How's it going?" What did it matter that she did not know them? Everyone deserved salutations. nooheadexplody The faintest noise of claws could be heard against the wood of the HQ floor, but there was no other noise to signify Ryuk's arrival. Still, the presence of the dark, lanky creature could not be missed. Golden orbs scanned the room, already full of strangly dressed mortals. The grin plastered across his maw seemed to widen. Through slitted nostrils, he sucked in the air of the room, relishing its smell.
It was good to be back. MoochiLove Naruto beamed at being acknowledged by the pretty female, and he approached her first, "Heya!" but before he could even get to introducing himself, a loud squawk can be heard coming into the room and winces, recognizing that sound, and it only makes it worse because the voice sounds alot older then he remembered.A red blur flies right into the shop and upon spying the orange clad winged Kitsu, Gypsy squawks loudly and dives at him, tackling him to the ground in a hug, "Naruto, you're back!!!" she shrieks out. Yakobi What had started as an inoccent simple chat with the door the HQ, had now become the most ultimate of a stare down. Billy's eyes were squinted, almost to the point of being shut, as he gazed at the door. "YOU." he uttered, not moving from his position.
His ears were pined back, bright red cap pushed down, so that his eyes were almost only visible to those that looked closly. His sholders where arched as the male continued to stare at the door.
A strange feeling soon overcame the idiotic male, as his muscles relaxed slightly, ears rotating upwards. There were voices...People were talking? He turned his gaze from the door to finally notice the others that were in the room (about time!).
Where did they all come from? The mud covered Kitsusagi turned his gaze back towards the door, letting out a rather crazy laugh. "Ooooooo, you're goooooooood." he spoke, poking a paw towards the door. The door had clearly used it's powers to bring in all those other fluffy looking people so that he'd get distracted and loose their little staring contest. [X]Natty-Chan[X] Inu no Taishou, or Touga, continued to stride in, his tails flicking softly. He noticed the one boy at the door and the fact that he was talking to it, quirking a brow curiously. Upon hearing a greeting, he turned his head in the direction that it came from. Spotting the female, he smiled slightly and bowed his head in greeting. His ear swiveled in the direction he heard a squawk type noise, but paid no mind to it. "Greetings M'lady. How are you this fine day?" nooheadexplody Much to Ryuk's surprise some of the mortals seemed...familiar. He mulled over this for a few moments.
I thought they died quicker...?
But shrugging his feathered shoulders, he pushed the thought to the back of his mind. No matter. Maybe some of them would remember him. It wasn't every day a Shinigami came to the mortal world. Stretched-looking limbs carried him over to a corner, where he sat, back hunched, to observe. He would wait and see if anyone noticed him. Rainberries Dazzler smiled at the well spoken kitsu, after blinking a bit at the sudden appearance of a flying kitsu that seemed awfully like a bird to her. "I'm wonderful, thanks for asking." Absently she tossed her long hair over her shoulder & readjusted a silver bangle on her left foreleg. "How about you? Good day?""Liliana, please let my guardian alone. There is plenty of room for both of you in my robes." Ginny was giggling as their party apparated into HQ, finding the others' father-daughter relationship to be quite amuzing. Then she caught sight of the others around & her lughter instantly ceased. Remus looked up at the lack of sound from the red head & his eyes widened, recognizing one he had nearly forgotten. "Excuse me, Ginny.""Hey, no problem Remus. There's Gypsy." She took a step & then paused. Was that a winged kitsu much like her audio sister's ninja boyfriend with her? Shaking her red mane she approached. "Gypsy! Hey there! Who's your friend?"Remus meanwhile made his way to Ryuk. "Parden me, but you remind me of someone I met quite some time ago. You would not happen to be a shinigami, would you?"nooheadexplody At the sound of the other's voice, Ryuk turned and came face to face with a scarred, robed kitsu. For a moment, his expression turned blank, though his grin remained. This mortal knew who he was, so they must have met before. But every mortal looked so similar...! He wracked his brain for memories of his last trip to the mortal world.
Ah. This was that mortal who asked if I had come for him.
Although his face, physically, seemed to remain the same, his grin lit up with recognition.
"Long time no see." [X]Natty-Chan[X] Touga took another look around to see that even more kitsus were making their appearances. Saying nothing to or about them, he walked to the one who had spoken and he was speaking with, sitting down when he had reached her. He murred deeply, curling his tails around his feet as he sat proudly, chest puffed out... but this wasn't for display, it was just how he was. "Indeed it is. Even better at the sight of a possibility of meeting so many others." MoochiLove Gypsy refused to let off Naruto, instead almost clinging to his back to nuzzle him, ignoring his grumblings and yells to get off him, "Ginny!! This is Naruto!! When I was a baby, he took care of me until he had to leave!!! Oh, I've missed you Naruto!!" she says, squawking loudly.Naruto topples under Gypsy's weight, especially since she wasn't a baby anymore, so she wasn't as light. He huffs and blows some hair out of his eyes, "It's good to see you too Gypsy!! At least you aren't repeating my words anymore!" he concludes, still trying to shove her off. Rainberries "For sure!" Alison grinned, the male's proud stance not seeming to affect her one way or another. "Luckily I'm used to crowds, though they can get a little tricky for getting to know someone. Speaking of which, they call me Dazzler." Her blue eyes twinkled, laughing at herself for her lapse in manners. The red-head did a double take. "Oh! So I'm not seeing things?" She laughed & shook her head in mild bewilderment. "Well it's nice meeting you Naruto. You took care of Gypsy? Wow. That make's you older than the other Naruto I know." Sometimes, her home life really did confuse her. Now was one of those times, but she would not trade it for anything. Yakobi The mud covered male let out a rather forced laugh, as he patted the door, getting grubby paw marks all over the base of it. "You crack me up man." he spoke, shutting his dark eyes, and leaning up against the now very dirty door.
A single eye opened as he looked to the many others in the room. "Huh?" Oh yes, that was right, the door had somehow managed to use its powers to bring all these other people into the room thing it had created around him.
His gaze soon fixed itself upon Raziel. Slowly he sat up, giving his pelt a good shake, causing some mud to go flying. He swiftly padded over to the other, ploping down on his haunches and rubbing a paw against his nose. "HELLO!" he shouted happily, before really looking at the other.
Eyes widened, as the male quickly pointed at the other letting out a rather loud and long continous scream. MoochiLove Gypsy nods and finally gets off Narutos back, but snuggles up to him, incredibly happy her 'guardian' was back with her again. Of course it wasn't because she was in love with the ninja, she had her mate Al, she just really missed the shinobi kitsu.Naruto sat up and brushed off his jacket, grumbling at some Kitsu's never growing up. But he pauses and looks at the red headed Kitsu curiously, "Another one? Whatda mean there is another one?" he asks, incredibly confused now. [X]Natty-Chan[X] The noble kitsu was just about to reply with his own name, but the loud scream caught his attention. He turned to look for who was the cause of this and saw the boy who was previously talking to the door. Once again, a brow quirked as he thought, That is one odd child. Shaking it off, he looked back to Dazzler and nodded his head. "I am Inu no Taishou... but you may call me Touga." Rainberries Ginny waved his confusion away with a paw. "It's nothing really. He's not a kitsu, he's an audio rhetoric. My sister Mirage tells me there's a talaye like her & my twin brothers that has the same name & same colors & mark." She indicated the orange garb & the symbol on Naruto's headband. "Still in a basket, but the resemblances are uncanny." She smiled, tossing her head with a light laugh. "Look, you shouldn't worry about it. Come on, I bet you're hungry. I'll cook you up something nice in the kitchen." Grinning she beckoned Naruto & Gypsy to follow her to the kitchen. "That is the truth. Have you been well?" Remus sat casually, feeling much more comfortable in the shinigami's presence than he had previously. From his robes Liliana peeked out her head with a mew. [You're different.] She remarked with a kit's bluntness. The wizard beamed, nuzzling the top of her head proudly. "This is my oldest daughter, Liliana. Lily, this is Ryuk a shinigami. He takes the dead to rest." He raised a brow questioningly at Ryuk, hoping his memory had served him well. The kit tilted her red head, the golden tips of her ears twitching before she bowed politely. [Pleased to meet you, Ryuk.]Dazzler too was distracted by the loud & clearly filthy odd little boy. Her mask print shifted as her face took on a befuddled look, wondering if she should go over & at least wash him. If he came this way she would insist on it. For now she smiled pleasantly. "Touga?" She repeated, setting the name to the face. "That seems quite different from Inu no Taishou. May I ask how you came by it?"dbz2004
Iroh canted his head to one side and looked at her curiously. "What's a stove?" he asked her in a curious tone of voice. "I've never seen a stove before. I have always used a fireplace to boil my tea water."
He sat up on his hindlegs and let his forepaws rest against his knees. Turning his gaze back to the fireplace, he noticed that his water had begun to boil. Carefully, he pulled the hot pot off of the fire, placed it on a hotpad and pulled out a smaller tea pot. Setting the second pot on the ground, he took off the lid and poured the hot water into it.
Getting out two teacups, he put the lid back onto the smaller tea pot and poured the tea into the two cups. "Jasmine tea. Very good for stress and ailments," he told her before he gently picked up his cup with both paws. "So, you're a performer? That's wonderful! I am just a retired military Firebender. Me and my nephew used to travel all over the lands, but recently he has gone missing and I would love to be back with him, but I couldn't because of some mysterious ailment I caught. I hope he forgives me."
MoochiLove Naruto almost didn't catch what Ginny was saying, especially since it seemed so confusing. But he basically got there were other Naruto's, but as different creatures. He hoped he could meet them one day! When the redhead mentions food, he smiles and hops up, following after her, "Can you fix me ramen?!" he asks in excitement.Gypsy squawks loudly and laughs, following after the two, glad to see this Naruto wasn't much different from her other two Naruto's! dinyana Now here I was on a autumn's noon day, laying on a fat tree trunk that reminded me of Bill O'Rilley and playing a happy tune on my ol' bango. How did I get a bango? Simple. I defy laws of physics. How? I'm a cartoon character, beats me. I just do what the writers tell me to do.
So I'm playing a happy melody when my food senses start to tingle. Yes I have food senses. If Spider-man can have spidey senses that allow him to sense danger then I can have food senses that allow me to sense good food. And boy was there good food around!
Using my trusty red nose I started to sniff out the aroma that started to overcome my senses. How poetic of me. With a goofy smile I concluded the scent. It was a Japanese favorite dish. Ramen, better known as hot noodle soup laced with MSG. Being one to never back down from a food dish I quickly jumped off the tree and within two seconds was on the ground. Funny because I jumped from about 20 feet.
With the power to defy physics I created quick friction with my feet and I was off to the source of the scent. Lets hope I'll be there within 10 seconds at least. [X]Natty-Chan[X] Bringing a paw up, he brushed the silver locks of his bangs from his face, revealing the two purple stripes on his cheek. He placed his foot back down, once again taking note of any new faces that may have entered. His main attention was on the female before him though as he replied. "I have no recollection on how I got the name Touga, but it stuck... and I have to admit, it is much eaiser than calling me Inu no Taishou all the time." Rainberries "Yes it is." She agreed with Touga, her head tilting slightly seeing the marks but then she had her stage makeup on permanently herself. With all her experiences with heroes & villains two purple marks on someone's face certainly should not come as a surprise.
Accepting the cup from the Firebender she sniffed deeply with appreciation. "Ah. Thank you." Her eyes closed slightly & her smile grew softer, gentler. "Sometimes I'd swear the smell of tea alone was a comfort."
Eyes fluttering open the singer grinned. "A stove's like a contained fire you could say. I'll show you sometime, if you'd like. Though you do so well with an open flame I don't really see the need. And yes, I'm a singer. Can't keep me from the stage!" She laughed, a faraway look touching her blue eyes. Then she was back on track, as if she was used to pushing aside that particular errant thought. "Dazzler's my stage name, and it's the name I'm comfortable with right now." Her paw went to her mask. "Military Firebender?" Dazzler was not familiar with the term. "And your nephew is missing?" Her concern was evident. "Really, should you be looking for him? I'll gladly help."
She smiled at Touga, not having forgotten him. "Are you any good t finding lost kitsu, Touga?" There was a playful glint in her eye, not flirtatious -but friendly. The look of someone who loved to bring people together for whatever reason."Ramen?" Ginny tilted her head, sifting through recipes in her mind. "You mean those Japanese noodles? Why sure, anyone can fix those." If it was not for Rikku's comments & watching her Naruto eat ramen like it was going out of style when she was at Moochi's house Ginny would have asked him if he was sure that was all he wanted. Soon she had the water boiling & the noodles cooking -enough to feed a small army. Or a bunch of hungry siblings. She diced some vegetables into the pot to better flavor the noodles. "So how did you get the task of sitting for Gypsy?" The which asked, doling him out a bowl of noodles. MoochiLove Naruto almost drooled at the sight of the noddles coming his way and he slides the bowl closer, inhaling the heavenly scent before licking his muzzle. Putting his paws together and saying his small prayer of thanks, he starts to dig in like he had never eaten ramen before in his life!Gypsy, seeing Naruto wasn't about to answer any time soon, looked to Ginny with a chirp and a smile, "If I remember, Helen let him babysit me cause she wanted him to learn some responsibility! And believe me, I didn't make it easy!" she chirriped out. [X]Natty-Chan[X] Touga actually felt pretty foolish for not noticing the other with Dazzler until then. If he had, he probably wouldn't have bothered her. He sighed, letting it slip his mind as she glanced to him and asked if he was good at finding lost kitsus. He had to think about that, he rarely ever had to search for anyone before. With that, he looked to her and stated. "I don't believe I've ever had to search for a lost soul, but I'm pretty sure it should pose no problem." dinyana I was right it seemed. Within 9.9 seconds I was at the source of the delicious smell of Ramen noodles. Turning my head I noticed a blonde haired kid that was raviging over a few bowls of Ramen. I was appalled. Only a few bowls. I could do much better!
With a determined look I started to walk like I was a butler in England towards the same table as the blonde boy sat. Looking closer I noticed his outfit was the kind that you would see in a ninja movie. He had a headband like a ninja and he had the look of a ninja.
Maybe he was a fireman.
With a small cough a took out a piece of paper from my pocket. Since when did I have a pocket? When did I write on a piece of paper? Laws of physics and reality, kids. Remember I defy them! Holding it up in front of my hand I started to read it.
"I would like to have 5 bowls of chicken ramen, 3 bowls of pork ramen, 7 bowls of beef ramen, 12 bowls of shrimp ramen and 15 bowls of chicken, pork, beef and shrimp ramen combined, please," I said a big mouthful, grinning with hunger as I threw the paper behind my back where it mysteriously disappeared. Rainberries She laughed, starting to prepare some other foods just to have something to do besides talk & watch Naruto eat. Besides, with all the kitsu about surely some would get hungry. Ginny set about making things that would be easily kept in the muggle refrigerator. "I bet you didn't!"
Then the witch blinked her brown eyes at the red nosed kitsu that suddenly appeared before her. Did he apparate? Watching how his "order" disappeared Ginny figured he must be some sort of a wizard, though he had no wand. Maybe a different type of magic? But she was in an amicable mood so she nodded with a silly grin. "Sure, but that will take a while. I've only the four burners on this muggle stove, & only one other lrge enough pot." Setting said pot to boil she shook her head in wonder at the strange new kitsu. "Are you sure you can eat all that, or have you friends coming I should know about?"
Finding the rest of the things she would need, Ginny chuckled. "I'm Ginny, by the way. Don't expect me to cook for you all the time. I'm just in the mood tonight.""Far out! Then it's settled! We'll help you find your nephew!" Finding a nephew was not being a super hero at all. No. Perfectly normal. Dazzler reached into her purse & flicked off the portable radio inside. She hoped she did not absorb so much sound that she started glowing. That was always awkward. dinyana I shook my head rigorously. Probably shooked it for 3 minutes. My eyes were spinning afterwards that's for sure. "Nope just me," I said with my trademark goofy grin, pointing my thumb at my skyblue turtle neck.
I blinked a couple times at this Ginny girly and nodded my head quickly again. That nodding took me 2 minutes. My head was spinning again but that was okay. I was about to have food! The food! Whoever created food was a pure genius. Good thing cartoon characters never seem to get fatter. Well unless the cartoon's creator deems them fat. But that's a whole different story. I think my creator is afraid of me. Our creators regret making us. But deep down I know they have a warm fuzzy feeling for creating us. MoochiLove It didn't take long for Naruto to slurp down his noddles and guzzle down his broth. He smacks his lips, a huge smile on his face. He was quite surprised as well when the new, funny looking Kitsu arrived and he couldn't help but stare when he kept bobbing his neck up and down, up and down in a nod. He shook his head to clear, "What's your name?" he asks him.Gypsy licked at her paw idly, but was also surprised at the newcoming. She squawked loudly when he didn't seem to stop nodding and she scooted closer to Ginny. dbz2004
Iroh nodded his head at her comment as he flicked his three tails back and forth on the wooden floor. "My nephew tried making me tea once. He isn't the greatest tea maker, but I at least attempted to like it," he said with a chuckle.
Taking a sip of the jasmine tea, he flicked his ears slightly at Dazzler mention something about showing him a stove. "That would be much appreciated. Living out in the wild can make a kitsu forget stuff that he has seen in the past. I hope that I can live longer than my son." He turned his gaze away from the female kitsu and gazed around the room curiously.
Twitching an ear as she began to ask him questions. "Yes, military was my only way of living until that terrible war. I lost my son that day and I was heartbroken. I retired earlier than the age that I wanted to, but at least I had my nephew to take care of when he had been exiled by my youngest brother. Now he is gone and I don't know what to do with my life." He canted his head again and took another sip of his tea. "I have to say that he is a bit of a hothead and is hard to deal with somedays, but he is my brother's son and I have sworn myself to take care of him. I never go back on my word."
Iroh gazed at the other kitsu who had joined him and he bobbed his head at Touga with respect. "Welcome, young one. Make yourself at home. Would you live some tea?" Instantly, he was distracted by Dazzler's portable radio. He gazed at it curiously as he finished the rest of his tea. "What's that?" he asked the femme curiously, not sure of what to make of the radio.
[X]Natty-Chan[X] Touga paused for a moment. When did he ask to be a part of the search party? He shrugged and figured that it wouldn't hurt to help, the search might even go faster... who knew?
With a stretch of his shoulders and back, grunting just slightly, he looked to the other that Dazzler was speaking with. When he spoke to him, he listened but was caught off guard to be called 'young one'. He was probably older than all of them in the area, but he wouldn't say anything about it. "Greetings to you as well. Thank you for the offer, but I have no need of such things." He stated calmly. The youkai was also interested in the odd appliance that Dazzler pulled out, but figured the other had already beaten him to the question. Rainberries O-kay. Not a wizard. Ginny eyed him warily, glad for Gypsy's presence at her side as she finished the first batch of the odd kitsu's "order" & started on the second. If anyone asked the Dazzler -offhand- how old she thought Touga was her first response would be that the kitsu was her age. Of course if she knew the truth all she would need do would be to remind herself that looks were not always a good indication of age. After all, she had been to Asgard & sang for the Gods! Gods looked whatever age they wanted, no regards to their real age.
Alison tilted her head. Well, if the older kitsu did not know what a stove was how could she expect him to know about that? "This?" She asked, touching the box with her paw. "It's my portable radio. I can pick up signals from nearby radio stations so I can listen to music where ever I go!"
And always have a source of sound if the situation gets rough... she added mentally to herself, recalling numerous times where that had been the case.
Then she lightly set her paw on his, gentle reasurance in her blue eyes. "We'll find your nephew." nooheadexplody Rainberries "That is the truth. Have you been well?" Remus sat casually, feeling much more comfortable in the shinigami's presence than he had previously. From his robes Liliana peeked out her head with a mew. [You're different.] She remarked with a kit's bluntness. The wizard beamed, nuzzling the top of her head proudly. "This is my oldest daughter, Liliana. Lily, this is Ryuk a shinigami. He takes the dead to rest." He raised a brow questioningly at Ryuk, hoping his memory had served him well. The kit tilted her red head, the golden tips of her ears twitching before she bowed politely. [Pleased to meet you, Ryuk.]
"Different," he echoed good-naturedly. "And you mortals are all the same."
There was a slight pause as Ryuk changed positions, rearranging his oddly long limbs. He stopped when he was lying on his side, as if lounging. He swiveled his head about to survey the room.
"This place hasn't changed much either." He nodded towards Remus. "And you look a little older." The grin widened again, and his eyes seemed to flash for a moment.
Suddenly the Shinigami kitsu's smile seemed less friendly and more akin to a sneer.
"He takes the dead to rest..."
That is a pretty way to put it.Dragain Sesshomaru strolled into the room, stopping at the door to glance about him. There were a lot of kitsus around, something he wasn't used to. He had always been, and probably always will be, more of a loner. Being in this 'four-legged' form was troublesome as he was missing his left arm. Luckily, he had gotten used to it, and now walked normally. Anyone who had dared tease him so far had stopped doing so.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, the kitsu made his way past everyone and into a corner of the room. Maybe someone would approach him... Someone he could speak to without that person making as much as a stupid remark. Those were things he needed to learn to tolerant. Rainberries The wizard was surprisingly undaunted by the sneer, though his daughter quickly ducked back beneath his robes -the tiny hint of her small wings fluttering against her back. Perhaps it was because Remus felt he had more happiness than he ever could have hoped for & so did not fear death, but more likely it was because he finally grasped what Ryuk had told him before bout coming down among the mortals for enjoyment. He chuckled softly at his daughter, rubbing the top of her head as he talked to the Shinigami. "Yes, the faces change but the place tends to stay the same." He had been noticing that himself lately, missing friends he used to see more frequently -and of course as he & Nari's kits grew. "Do you still favor apples? There are usually some in the kitchen if you ever find you are getting low.""I'd like an apple, Daddy." Liliana purred softly where she hid. Remus chuckled. "Then what is stopping you, Lily dear?" She pouted, clearly disappointed that her whim was not catered to. With a tiny sigh she pulled out her own wand. "Accio Apple." Lily felt little of her usual pride at getting the spell correct. After all, it was not the fetching of it but so much the who that had mattered to her. Still, a pleased smile touched her maw as she bit into the crunchy yellow & red skin & sucked the juices that pooled on her bite into the white insides. dinyana So I was waiting for my ramen when a rabia came in and...oh wait, wrong scenario.
Anyways I turned to see the blonde haired, orange jumpsuit, funny voice guy talking to me. With a grin I pointed to my turtle neck and grinned. "I'm Wakko Warner! What's your name, mister fireman?"
Now why did I call him a fireman? Because I said he looked like one. Though I had my doubts. He DID look like a police cop. I should know I ran from one many times. Though Ralph wasn't the tastiest rasberry in the gorcery store. Where do the writers come up with this junk? MoochiLove Naruto's blue eyes go wide and he fluffs his feathers, looking incredibly offended...and slightly disturbed, "Fireman?! I'm not a fireman, I'm not a ninja!!! I'm going the greatest ninja there ever was!" he says in a slightly bragging tone. Then he looks Wakko over, obviously confused over him, "What are you supposed to be, a lunatic?" he asks, yelping loudly as the back of his head is smacked hard by Gypsy.Gypsy squawked loudly at the ninja kitsu, annoyed by his words, "Naruto, that certainly wasn't nice to say, especially to someone that is new around here!! You apoligize immediately!!" She adds another squawk for good measure, her fur and feathers ruffling up.He rubbed the back of his head, willing his wings to go back down to being smooth again, he glared half heartedly at the macaw female. But then he turns an apoligetic look at Wakko, "Sorry, I guess I let my mouth run too much sometimes time.." he says, his ears drooping down. dinyana A ninja. Darn I thought for sure he would be a fry cook! Yakko was always better at games. Like Jepordy for example. Can't believe I sang a whole song on the fiddle about the US states and their capitals but didn't get the points because I forgot to state it in a question! The writers sure can be cruel.
"Lunatic? I'm not Lunatic, I'm Wakko," I stated, slightly confused. "Have you been talking to ScratchanSniff? I know he mentioned someone named Lunatic before to my brother," I put one of my gloved hands on my chin, and started to ponder. Ponder, that's a funny word. Brain uses it a lot too. "Do you know him? I think he sounds nice." [X]Natty-Chan[X] The taiyoukai had no idea what the female was talking about. Portable radio? Radio stations? It just brought up so many questions. He figured the other male would answer them, so he remained silent.
It was when he spotted a familiar kitsu walk to a corner, when his attention turned. Standing up, he looked back to the other two and bowed before them. "It was nice to meet you two, please excuse me for the moment." With that said, the large kitsu started to pad over to the other in similar clothing.
"I did not expect to see you here Sesshoumaru." He stated, approaching the kitsu... his son. MoochiLove Naruto could feel his left eye start to twitch a little as Wakko talked to him. He had to resist to take the words back, but Gypsy might get upset at him again, so he swallows them down. "Wakko eh? Guess it's nice to meet you? And I've never heard of ScratchenSniff so I doubt I ever talked to them before!" he says, sitting himself down. dinyana Did he just twitch. I had no idea ninja fireman cops could twitch. Guess you learn something new everyday. Like when Thaddeus learned the true meaning of Christmas. Oh boy now was that a laugh.
"Good thing too. He's a shrink, or as he likes to call it a psychiatrist," I made a small laugh of utter wakiness. "I think he's the one who needs a shrinky doodle. You know those microwavable thingies." MoochiLove Naruto rubbed his chin with his paw, looking like he is actually taking the wacky kitsu seriously, "Never heard of those either! But I wonder, can you microwave ramen? Is it good as fresh ramen?" he asks, wanting to see what he would say. Rainberries Ginny listened quietly to the two males talking. At least she thought Wakko was a male. But at the thought of microwaving... she had to grimace. "You can surely, but in my opinion the muggle microwave is only suitable for reheating. Although ramen is one of the food that is least altered by microwave cooking. Rainberries Waving pleasantly as Touga left to speak with another kitsu who bore a striking resemblance to him Dazzler sighed & smiled at Iroh. "Thanks, I'd love another cup. It's really quite the best jasmine tea I've ever had. Your teabags must be fresh!"
She pondered quietly for a moment, her blue eyes soft & thoughtful. She remembered the long, hard search for her mother... a search only recently come to a completion. "What does your nephew look like? Unless he's avidly looking for you too, it might be hard to find him otherwise." She grinned, winking in a friendly & joking manner as she realized there were other things that would be beneficial to know. "And do either you or your nephew have a name?" dinyana I blinked at him in bewilderment. Wow, didn't know I knew that word either. But not knowing what he was talking about with microwavable ramen I just slouched my arms up and my the palms of my hands flat, signaling that I didn't know at all.
But for some reason I thought this fireman ninja cop guy was up to something. Something very sneaky, sly and very fireman ninja cop like. I had to keep all eyes on him. That meant my two eyes, the walls eyes, my ieyes and more. If he did anything suspicious then I would have to use every inch of my brain to-
Hey where's my ramen?! It was just here...wasn't it? Rainberries Ginny snorted, seeing that the red nosed male obviously had not heard her. Well, what could she expect -having stayed so quiet while she cooked? Rolling her eyes she cast a little Wingardium Leviosa on the two latest finished pots of ramen, traveling them over to the table near the two boys. That was the last of it, except "Are you sure you want those 15 bowls of everything? That's a lot of food already."
Shrugging, she set a new pot of water to boil. "Well it's a good thing this place is always stocked. You could eat someone out of house & home!" dbz2004
Iroh nodded his head slightly before slowly pouring Dazzler a fresh cup of tea. "Tea bags? I don't use those. I use the leaves and some fresh edible jasmine petals in my tea. DOn't worry, the leaves don't get into the cup. I use a special strainer in the pot to make sure that no petals or leaves get into your drink when I pour it. I've never liked to use the bags. They tend to go bad quickly."
He picked up his cup again and took a long sip of it before replying to Dazzler's question. "He has kinda short black hair with a burn on the left side of his face over one of his eyes. I don't remember what outfit he was wearing, but I do remember his face. He also has amber eyes that seem like they are forever burning with fire." He chuckled slightly and noticed the wink. Smirking slightly, he winked back and held his cup in one paw. "Name? He used to be called Lee when he was with me, but that was when we were on the run from the Fire Nation. His true birthname is Zuko."
Rainberries The disco singer was both impressed & stunned that he used real leaves. "Far out! I don't think I've known anyone to use the real thing anymore." She sighed closing her eyes & breathing deeply the tea before taking another sip. "No wonder it's so good."
She listened to the description, storing it away in her mind. Her face became compassionate at the mention of a burn but she only nodded at the older kitsu not knowing what he had worn. Clothes could easily be changed. "So Lee or Zuko, with a burn & fire in his eyes. That shouldn't be too hard to remember. Or to notice." Her concerned glance grew inquisitive. "Is he a Firebender like you?"
She wanted to ask about the source of the burn, but the lady knew such things were better asked of the one who bore them. It was not for others to tell their tale. MoochiLove Naruto was all stomach when Ginny levitated the ramen to them and forgetting all about the wacky Kitsu he was talking with, he immediately sets off on consuming his full, getting small bits of noodle and drops of broth all over face and a little on his jackt as well. dbz2004
Iroh nodded his head slightly at her reaction. He had expected something along the lines of her being shocked at how he uses real tea leaves instead of the tea bags. "I always aim to make my customers happy," he said with a grin on his face. "Did I mention I own a tea shop? It gets a lot of business and I love the compliments I get on my tea."
"Yes, he is. He is also very arrogant and has a bad temper most of the time. Please watch out for it. I'm not sure if his temper has gotten cooler since he has disappeared, but I also noticed that one of his foes has gone missing on the same day as my nephew. I wonder if the both of them are alright." He closed his eyes as he set down his cold tea cup.
nooheadexplody Ryuk let out a throaty chuckle, and his sneer faded into a look of pure amusement. The little one had hidden from him. And, it was about time. It seemed odd being in the mortal world without anyone being afraid of him. Mortals were so unpredictable. Brave one second, then whimpering like idiots the next. Ryuk loved them.
He turned his attention back to Remus. "Apples," he stated simply "may have been the only reason I came back here."
He began to laugh again, but was cut off by surprise at the younger kitsu's spell. "Ah, that's right. You're not typical mortals are you?" Rainberries "I like apples." Liliana said between bites, attempting to be brave though she still shook a bit. Smiling her father nuzzled her. "Apples are a good reason." There was a hint of smile on his face, seemingly for no reason what-so-ever. "No, I suppose not. Wizards are not typical around here, though there are quite a few of us besides myself & my offspring. Just not as many as I recall there being in my memories of before." Shrugging as if that was no longer something that gave him much grief Remus Lupin smiled softly. "Though I very little is truly "typical" these days. But perhaps that is because I am mortal and see things in simplified and shallow ways.""Nu-uh, Daddy! You always see things big." Remus chuckled, nuzzling her & licking a trill of juice from her cheek. She beamed. "I can but try, Lily, but I am mortal & there are certainly limitations whether I see them or not."((to dbz: *snickers, knowing how Zuko & his "foe" are faring* ))"No you hadn't! I'd love to see it some day. It'd be awesome to have tea like this more often!"
She sighed softly. "Hotheaded? Well, it won't be the first I've had to deal with." Dazzler highly doubted she could calm a thinking temper as she had calmed the Hulk's rages that day she had first met Bruce Banner. "I'll watch out for it." She assured Iroh gently, setting her now empty cup down.
Her ear had quirked at the mention of "foe" -Alison had enough experience with having to deal with other's foes... and her own. Sometimes it seemed she was forced to play the hero when all she wanted to do was pursue her singing career. She did wonder about the other kitsu seeming to be concerned even for his nephew's foes. That made her smile. "I'm sure they are."
There was a pause before she asked "What is Firebending?" nooheadexplody Ryuk turned his grin upon the wizard's daughter.
"Smart girl."
She was afraid of him. Very amusing, but much without reason. He wasn't going to do anything to her. Of course, he wasn't going to tell her that, either. Not now, at least. He turned back to Remus.
"...there are more of you?" This he found genuinely surprising. "I've never met a mortal before that could do things like that. Not before you, at least." He nodded towards Liliana. "You too. Shinigami can't even do things like that. If we could, then getting apples would never be a problem for me." Ryuk let out a low chuckle, and his feathered shoulders quaked. Rainberries Liliana grinned shyly at the praise while her father answered the posed question. "Yes, there are. Our house sister, Ginny for example. I do believe she went to the kitchen with a sister of hers from her other family." Both Father & daughter nodded, Lily flicking away her apple core that direction with a murmured Wingardium Leviosa and a mischievous smile. She was becoming a little less afraid of the shinigami, because her 'daddy' was so at ease. "There are at least 8 other wizards or witches that I know of, and that does not include Severus' many descendents. Though I do believe they tend to favor potions." He smiled ruefully, embarrassed from his lack of knowledge. "I am afraid we don't see them very often."In an odd display of bringing attention to himself, Remus' guardian scurried out of the wizard's robes to chitter in his ear. Remus arched a brow, eyes widening slightly. "Really, my friend? Well, we shall see." He smiled again at Ryuk, "Surely you have some magical properties other than being immortal to carry out your job." Then he was surprised to hear his daughter pipe up. "D'you want one? There's a basket of Galas on the counter."dinyana "No matter to me! You should have seen me at the hollywood premire party, when those people from Japan came. Now that was food heaven," I licked my lips delightfully, remembering the food I ate. Good times, good times.
So now that the ramen was here I did the only thing my brain could comprehend to do. Eat all the bowls in one bite. So with my apetite setting in I grabbed one bowl at a time and scarfed the noodles and soup water into my mouth. One by one I devoured, beef, pork, chicken and shrimp fulled bowls of ramen. In about fifteen seconds it was all gone.
Now that I finished eating I could get back to the matter at-
Uh oh...
Suddenly I let out a huge burp, beef, chicken, pork and shrimp flavored too. As soon as my burp was finish I made a goofy grin and delightfully said "Excuse me." Rainberries Ginny stared, a look of hard horror tinged with anger & a bit of awe. In truth, she was a bit confused too. Well.... he did say "excuse me"... But was that enough for the way he ate & the sheer enormous magnitude of the resulting expungence of sound & smell? Her nose crinkled at the lingering echo & smell. She opened her mouth but all that came out was "How did you do that?" nooheadexplody Ryuk watched the apple core float away. So materializing apples wasn't their only power after all. He wondered vaguely if these abilities changed them as mortals. Did they affect their lifespans? Apparently not. Upon noting the remaining years of their lives, Remus having quite a few and his young one having more than his, he concluded that they were mortal just like everyone else. So why did some mortals have special powers, when others were just...mortal?
Mortals were fascinating. What a variety! Ryuk grinned wildly.
"Sadly, no. We can't do much more than fly around and write names in the Death Note." After he'd said it, the Shinigami wondered if he should've disclosed his knowledge of the Death Note. There had been an incident, once...but it didn't matter now. He decided to shrug it off. "We're not truly immortal, you know. There's a way to kill a Shinigami. ...But if you think I'm gonna go around telling people, you're mistaken."
Upon noticing the small creature emerge from Remus' robes, he cocked his head at it for a moment, but didn't think much of it. Some kind of pet, he figured. Mortals liked things like that. He turned to Liliana and nodded.
"I wanna see you do that trick with the apple again." Rainberries Remus nodded absently, soaking up the information for no other reason than because he was a scholar. "I would find that highly unwise for you to do so, which I have not so far seen you to be." His guardian tugged on his ear & the wizard nodded again, still considering the suggestion. Lily beamed, moving her wand with a confident "Accio apple!" & grinned as the fruit soared to them from the kitchen. Remus smiled fondly upon his daughter, pleased she had learned so well. She actually fully removed her self from her father's robes when it landed to roll the apple with her nose to the Shinigami. "Here you go mister Ryuk sir."She sat down on her haunches nervously, her white & gold tails dusting across the floor & her tiny wing buds fluttering. MoochiLove Naruto looked up from his meal when Wakko started to burp and he watched him with wide eyes. The ninja sits there speechless, a noodle hanging out from his mouth. Then he bust out laughing, falling to his back and holding his sides, "That was fantastic!!! You gotta teach me how to burp like that!!!" he says, sitting up and almost bouncing on his feet, his wings bouncing on his back as well. "Man, you could bring a wall down or knock someone off their feet with something like that!" he says loudly. nooheadexplody Ryuk chuckled grimly at the wizard kitsu's statement. Wise! He had never known a mortal to call a Shinigami wise before. He himself doubted the legitamacy of the compliment. But if that was what Remus thought, Ryuk wasn't about to step in and disprove it.
He had resumed staring at the small creature that seemed to inhabit Remus' robes when he felt a tap against his paw, and noticed the wizard's young one rolling him an apple. He stared eagerly at the fruit, then at Liliana, then back at the fruit again, grinning madly. Almost immediately, he set into the apple, gnashing his teeth. Rainberries Remus could not resist a small grin, though it was his way to give respect to all. Of course his daughter being younger & without the maturing influence of a before giggled at Ryuk's enthusiasm. "Oh! You really do like apples, don't you?" Flattening to the floor Liliana looked up at the shinigami, tails wagging. "Would you like some more? There's some left in the kitchen, but after those are gone Daddy'd have to apparate us home to get any more."dinyana One burp and this guy starts jumping around faster than Yakko, Dot and I on sugar rush. If he liked that then he was going to like hanging out with me. After all I never had a fireman ninja cop for a friend.
"That's nothing. Being a comedic 90's cartoon like myself I can defy every law of physics that was ever physicated!" Was physicated a word? Might as well be, seeing as it's long and sounds funny. "Watch and be amazed," I continued on. Spinning around quickly like the Tazmanian Devil I could of created a tornado. But the writers won't let me. Too graphic for the kids they say. I don't see Oz getting sued!
Within two seconds I stopped spining and all the sudden I was in a magician's costume. My red hat still in place (wouldn't give it up for all the food in the known univer-well maybe known universe. But not in the whole wor-well maybe the world too. Okay how about: Not for all the food in the whole state of California, would I ever give up my hat!) but my blue turtle neck replaced by a suit with a black velt cape. A magician's wand just appeared in my hand. Where did it come from? Probably from Vegas.
"Now watch and learn." With that I took off my red hat and placed it on the ground below me. Made a casual gruff, like all the professionals do and dived straight into my hat. Amazingly with the power to defy the laws of physics the hat swallowed me up whole. I was lost...in my hat!
Bum Bum Buuum! MoochiLove Wakko now had Naruto's sole, attention, his blue eyes wide and curious. He went from weird lunatic to a super cool lunatic in just a few seconds for him!! He starts bouncing on his paws in excitement, especially when Wakko transformed right in front of him!! But when he disappeared into his hat, a look of confusion goes on his tanned face and he pads over to the hat and peers into it, almost sticking his muzzle down into the darkness. Rainberries Ginny gaped, forgetting completely her previous question -or at least that she had asked it. "How did you do that?" Brown eyes wide she looked the strange kitsu up and down. She wished Relm were here. The audio pictomancer was much better at seeing magic than she was. "I've never seen that kind of magic!"
"And what's a 90s cartoon?" Television being a muggle device it was still new to Ginny. The family's television at home was usually set to watch movies -mostly musicals & wiggles. They not only kept Theron happy, but most of the fae seemed to like them too.

Posted: Thu May 03, 2007 11:49 am
((December 2006 custom cosplay event))
Dazzler meets Iroh & Touga, Ginny meets Naruto & Wakko, Remus & Liliana chat with Ryuk guild page 20ish, continued))
dinyana Climbing through the cotton that made my hat what it was I finally reached the top rim of my hat and pulled myself from the dark hole that I just poofed up in my hat. And as fast as I made it I put my hat back on my head and it turned back into it's normal 1 inch deep hat.
"Thank you, thank you, no autographs I'll be here all week!" I said, bowing down to a pretend public, or in this case the fireman ninja cop. That's when I noticed the nice lady that made all that ramen for me. With an embrassed smile I sheepishly rubbed my cap to her words. "Now don't boost my ego. I don't want to become George Clooney! It's just defying physics. As a 90's cartoon, meaning I was created in the 90's, I was given the original power to defy the laws of physics and to do anything I want that Newton says I can't!" nooheadexplody Ryuk brought his head up and met Liliana with a piercing stare...but was only as frightening as one could be with apple juice dripping down one's chin. Feeling that he had put the little mortal in her place [apparently not noticing that at the moment, he wasn't particularly scary], he resumed attacking the apple with his teeth. Within a few moments, he had downed the whole thing, including the core.
With a satisfied sigh, he flopped into a more comfortable position.
"If there are more, then I'll eat 'em."
For the sake of the Shinigami kitsu, it was a good thing that apples weren't a harmful drug. Rainberries Remus winced, smile slipping from his face as his familiar tugged again at his ear almost painfully. "Yes. Yes. You insistent thing. I suppose if you are that set upon it I will bring it up." Considering his guardian was usually in no way demanding of his presence, Remus figured he should have heeded the little one long before now but he had not wanted to presume upon anyone. "ah-hem. Ryuk... my guardian tells me he is able & surprisingly very willing to go & ask any kitsu I have met to join us. In the case of my fellow wizards, they could apparate here. If you would like."((Depending on Ryuk's response, this is open invitation for HP characters to join in our RP. Moochi, LadyAria -this means you! *winks*))MoochiLove "Wow, you would make an awesome ninja Wakko!!! Who knows what you could do and get away with!!" he says, sitting back on his rump in slight astonishment, his eyes still wide with wonder. To be able to pop yourself into a small object and come back out, good as new, the possibilities were endless! dinyana Me, a ninja! How flattering was that fireman ninja cop.
"Well that's awfully sweet of you," I started, starting to rub my head in embarrassment. This kid really knew how to inflate an ego like helium knew how to inflate balloons. "But my orthodontist said that being a ninja is bad for my colon."
Do orthodontists even know what a colon is? I'm checking with the writers...apparently they do. They just don't look at them. Oh the wackiness of a 90's cartoon. I like it...a lot! Rainberries What little Ginny new about ninja's came from Rikku, and truth was -that was not much. Considering that when Rikku talked about her Naruto she usually was talking about things other than him being a ninja. She vaguely remembered hearing the word orthodontist... perhaps from Hermione at some point before. Some time when she was talking about what her muggle parents did for a living? Didn't they do something that had to do with teeth? Ginny gathered her nerve and took the plunge. "I thought orthodontists went with teeth, not colons." MoochiLove Naruto didn't know what that was, but he waves it off, "What does he know, besides, all you need is a good bowl of ramen and you will be better then ever!! Works for me ever time, ramen is good for you!!!" he boasts, puffing up and looking a little smug at his words. nooheadexplody Gleefully, Ryuk set to attacking the pile of apples. So as to access himself to as many apples as possible, he reared up onto his hind legs and hunched over the pile. He grabbed an apple in each paw, almost as a human would. Of course, this proved to be somewhat difficult without apposable thumbs. It was at times like these that Ryuk was immensly thankful for his claws. He took alternating bites from each apple.
It wasn't until once again, the small creature emerged from the robes of the wizard that he paused. And as Remus posed his question, a look of amusement crept back across his grinning maw.
"Feel free. I'm always up for more mortals to watch. Especially more...abnormal...ones like yourselves."(('s perfectly fine! There are lots of posts to sift through. And...we open it up!)) dinyana I looked at Ginny and nodded quickly. "Right, like I said. Orthodontists look at your liver!"
...Was that really what I said? I think the msg filled ramen must have been getting into my brain. Well actually my brain was more of a mouse on a treadmill, and the mouse just got really bloated.
That's when Naruto told me words that I would remember forever. And I didn't even call him a fireman ninja cop this time. Ramen is good for you! Such inspiring words, such amazing imploring. Was imploring even a word I knew. Who cares. Those words made me shed dramatic tears!
As soon as I let put a small tear of faith I put my hand in the air and somehow got a tissue. Sniffing on it I knew all would be fine, in the end.
...That is until we run out of ramen. Then we're doomed. MoochiLove "Rikku? Who is Rikku? Some other Kitsu?" he asks in confusion, never having heard such a name before. But he shrugs, continuing to slurp down his ramen with much gusto. But he looks over at Wakko and tilts his head, "What'cha cryin' for?" he asks with a mouth full of noodles. dinyana I sniffled some more. "It's just too beautiful!" Looking to the wooden table I then noticed some more of my ordered ramen bowls. Lucky day. My woes and tears quickly vanished and I was eating bowls of ramen again.
Now how did I go from dramatic crying to happily eating ramen in nothing flat? Simple. As a 90's cartoon I find almost nothing tragic. Expect the Golden Globe Awards. But in any case I'm strong-willed, cartoonishly violent and an overall nut case. I'm less of a nut case then my sister though, who seems to flirt with every man in Hollywood. Though she seems to always have eyes for Mel Gibson. Rainberries "No. She's an Audio Rhetoric. They're different." Finishing the last of the ramen order Ginny set it on the table with a roll of her eyes. These two were nuts. Suddenly, Remus' guardian appeared grabbed the edge of her robe & pulled her to the door. Once certain she was heading out, he gave a nod, grabbed her guardian Arnold by the hand & skittered away with him. Completely confused, Ginny decided to use this as an excuse to head out. "I've gotta get going, boys. Nice meeting you."
Then the redheaded witch kitsu scurried out the door to question Remus about his guardian's odd behavior. Rainberries Liliana was covering her muzzle with her paws in a futile effort to contain her giggles. Remus did not even bother to try & stop her, for his guardian was bouncing up & down eagerly. "All right, little one. You heard him. Go & find them if you will." Giving a squeal of joy the little guardian disappeared. A moment later Ginny walked over from the kitchen. "I think we see the best of Naruto when he's with Rikku." She muttered shaking her head, her red hair billowing like a mane about her head. "Now what's this with your guardian, Remus? Never see him out of your robes hardly then there he is! Tugging me out of the kitchen, grabbing Arnold by the hand & the two of them running off together."Only then did she notice the apple eating kitsu. "Oh. Hello."Remus smiled. "Ginny dear, this is Ryuk. Ryuk, this is my honorary sister, Ginny Weasley."Ginny studied the unknown kitsu warily. After Naruto & Wakko who could blame her. "Nice to meet you, Ryuk."nooheadexplody Now it was Ginny's turn to be the subject of Ryuk's not-quite-friendly smile. Devouring his two apples in two gulps, he turned to face the approaching company. Arriving from the kitchen was a red haired kitsu, female, and robed just as Remus was. A quick glance over her head revealed that she too, was only mortal.
"Ryuk," he confirmed gruffly. He seemed to be watching both this new kitsu and the pile of remaining apples at the same time. Rainberries Ginny quirked a brow at her 'brother' as if asking how she was supposed to take this strange unsocial kitsu. Her last experience with a kitsu that did not want to talk had left a sour taste in her mouth. But she did not want to think of the smelly Gaara. Remus merely smiled, though his small daughter piped up helpfully. "Mister Ryuk likes apples." Ginny nuzzled the young female, a slight smirk gracing her maw. "Really? Well that explains everything, doesn't it?" She had not meant to be snide and so Remus only gave her half a warning stare. "Ginerva..." The redhead glowered at the name a moment, but then laughed lightly. "Okay, I'll bite. Do you only like fresh apples or do you eat them cooked as well, Ryuk?"nooheadexplody "Cooked?" His face reflected an expression of distaste, though he was still grinning, as always. The idea of cooking apples...he took the suggestion the same way as a human might if they'd been asked to eat a cigarette. It seemed not only unsatisfactory, but also rather disgusting. Why anyone would ever ruin a perfectly good apple by cooking it was beyond Ryuk.
"Cooking is a trivial mortal custom." Rainberries "Trivial?!?" Brown eyes flashed as the redhead's temper flared. She shook off Remus' calming paw from her shoulder. Liliana mewed in worry, her green eyes flickering between the shinigami she was coming to enjoy watching & her irate 'aunt', pulling out her wand. But Remus knocked her foreleg down before Ginny could cast the spell. "Ginevra! That's enough!" He was using his authorative "professor voice" and the female's ears flattened lower against her head. "I will not permit you to hex Ryuk!" Ginny seethed at him, flopping to the ground and glaring at both males. nooheadexplody The redhead kitsu's outburst received a raise from Ryuk's hairless brow. It was much less a look of shock than it was surprise that she would even attempt to attack him. Usually mortals would only resort to attacking a Shinigami out of fear, when their wits were not completely about them. But the redhead, she didn't seem afraid.
What did he care? Mortal weapons couldn't hurt Ryuk. He cocked his head to one side, a look of bemusement upon his face.
"Boy, you do get excited, don't you?" dbz2004
He nodded his head slightly and poured himself another cup. "That's good to hear. My shop gets pretty busy in the night-time hours. Probably because everyone works during the day."
He nodded his head again and sighed. "Hopefully his temper has cooled down since he has left me. I guess he figures that he doesn;t have to worry about me if he just takes off on his own. Oh, well. the shop has been lonely without him. I wonder if he will return one day."
"Firebending is...well," he said, rubbing his beard with one paw. "It is a little hard to explain. I guess I better demonstrate it." He stood up on his hindlegs and closed his eyes. Taking a deep breath in, he quickly opened his eyes and thrusted one foreleg out towards the fire, his paw curled to form a fist. Suddenly a blast of fire burst out of his fisted paw and quickly disappeared a few seconds later. "That is firebending. We can do more than just that, but that is one of the basic techniques of our art."
Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Dazzler's eyes grew wide. "Wow! You create fire?!? Far out!"
Then, as if considering her wisdom for a moment she decided to share her "gift" as well. But she left out the mutant part. Let him think it was magical. "I can make light from sound, but not from nothing." dbz2004
Iroh nodded his head. "Yup. That's what me and my nephew can do. Very special talent we have. Comes in handy all the time." Iroh canted his head slightly and nodded his head again. "That is interesting. We can't make fire out of nothing either. We use our chi to produce the fire I just showed you."
Rainberries Chi. Dazzler tried but although she remembered someone once telling her about it she could not for the life of her recall anything now. "Okay, I'll bite: what's chi?" dbz2004
"Chi is our life energy. It is what gives us the ability to be alive. In our case it also helps us firebend. Without chi we cannot be able to produce fire." He took a small sip of his tea before putting his cup down, now too full of the tea. "understand?"
Rainberries Dazzler sighed. "In theory. Of course, if I were to try & explain to you how I transmute light I'd never be able to. Not that it's a teachable thing either. To my knowledge I'm the only mu... the only one able to do so." She smiled, hoping to cover up her slip. "So... what kind of music do you listen to?" The songstress highly doubted the tea drinking kitsu knew of rock & roll, much less liked it. Still, she was always curious. dbz2004
He nodded his head slightly and picked up the now empty teapot. "True. This technique isn't easy to learn, though. It takes many years to master it. I am fortunate enough to have mastered it so that I can teach it to my nephew. It saddens me that he left before his training was complete. He could have been a powerful Firebender if he had completed his training." He sighed slightly and listened carefully to what Dazzler had to say next. Iroh raised an eyebrow slightly at her question. "Music? I don't really know what type it is, but I love to sing!" His face brightened up slightly at him mentioning about singing.
Rainberries "Oh?!" The female's ears perked with excitement at that. Her blue eyes sparkled within her butterfly mask as well. ""Then sing something! Maybe I can pick out the style!"
A game she had started since learning her mother had been a jazz singer & finding out she trained a friend of hers in voice: pick the music style. Favoring Rock herself, she found the pastime quite intriguing. dbz2004
"Umm..." he managed to get out before blushing a dark crimson color. He hadn't heard anyone ask him to sing before. Turning his back to her, he thought of a song to sing to her. One familiar song came to mind and he turned back around, a slightl smile on his face. "Alright. Here is one I know." He cleared his thoat and pressed his forepaws together. "Winter, Spring...Summer and fall...Winter, Spring....Summer and Fall...Four Seasons...Four loves...Four Seasons...Four loves."
Rainberries Dazzler listened raptly, trying to place it. "Wow.... I don't think I've heard anything like it. Except maybe that one time I caught Wolverine listening to something from Japan. Maybe traditional Asian?" Her brow was furrowed even as she raised a brow with her question. ((hahah! I can't remember if Iroh can sing well or not! Totally can't recall if I know the song either lol so I winged it.)) dbz2004 [lets just say he sings offkey]
Iroh blushed some more and shrugged slightly. "I used to sing it when me and my nephew were traveling around, looking for the Avatar. Who's this wolverine fellow? I've never heard of him before."
Rainberries One ear still twitched a bit at the male's off key singing but she smiled anyway. "Oh. Wolverine's an X-Man, and a friend of mine. I guess you could call him a fan too, since they all came to my charity concert not to mention seeing to it that my manager would listen to me sing that first time." She smiled fondly at the memories, not even minding having to pay for Harry's picture window as the throng of heroes descended upon his office through it. Of course the concert was even better: having all her friends there, meeting her mom, & coming to an understanding with her father. "I guess you could say he's a hero, though sometimes he's pretty rough 'round the edges." dbz2004
Iroh canted his head to the other side, clearly confused. He let his confusion slip away from his emotions as he smiled widely. "Ah, i see. A friend! That's wonderful to know you have many friends that you can go to whenever you are in need of their help."
Rainberries "It is, that." Dazzler beamed, a faint light glowing around her. "Sometimes I forget how many friends I have, but then something always comes up to remind me & it's like Christmas I feel so good!" Her tails flipped happily. "I've not seen any of them lately, but I'm hoping to soon."
She wondered a bit at Iroh's brief confusion. "I suppose you've loads of friends to help you out when you need them." Dazzler could not imagine anyone not liking the easygoing firebender. dbz2004
Iroh shook his head slightly and sighed. "I have none. They all abandoned me when me and my nephew went into exile. We betrayed out country to be free from my brother and my niece. Now we are on the run from her," he said in a slightly sadded tone of voice.
Rainberries "All?" The single word fell from the songstress' mouth softly, as if crying for him with her voice. Even in the darkness of Nightmare's realm, even when tortured in Asgard by the Enchantress -she had known that had her friends the knowledge & means they would come to her aid. She had managed to prevail on her own, as she must, but knowing her friends were loyal friends always gave her that boost of strength & courage inside.
Stretching her neck Dazzler touched his shoulder lightly with her nose. "We're friends, aren't we?" dbz2004
Iroh listened to her question carefully before nodding his head slowly. "Aye, we are friends. I never realized it until right now." He smiled slightly and placed a paw on her shoulder. "Friends forever."
Rainberries The female beamed at him. "Forever!" She agreed, bubbles of light sparkling around her feet. Then she giggled. "Now I've really gotta find that nephew of yours!"
She stood, moving under his raised paw to sling her neck over his shoulders in a hug. "Thank you. For the tea, and your song, & your friendship." Dazzler smiled at him. "Next time, I should sing for you! It is my career, after all!" Rainberries A low growl emanated from the red-headed female, her brown eyes flashing. "I've been told I've a bit of a temper... what of it?" Her tone was daring & Remus moaned at her lack of manners more than anything else. Ginny aimed her glare at her "brother" "I think you should have let me hex him. He would have looked good with flapping wings all over his face.""Now Ginny, Ryuk is a friend." Of sorts. Perhaps. The redhead scowled. "Yours maybe."Liliana tilted her head curiously at her "aunt" before speaking. "I like the scary smiling Ryuk, aunt Ginny." The witch pursed her lips. "Fine. I won't hex him. Happy?" She certainly was not. "Thank you, Ginny."nooheadexplody Ryuk remained unfazed. Golden orbs stared down at the redhead. Mortals got so flustered over the smallest things. But that was probably a beneficial quality to have. It was the lack of this that made Shinigami, and in turn, life as a Shinigami so dull. He supposed that it made sense, though. After all, if one has something to get flustered over, one might as well be flustered. Still, sometimes he wondered why they got so upset. This was one of those times.
...but it was still fun to watch...
Ryuk turned away from the seething redhead and ignored her completely, knowing how she'd probably react.
"Don't worry," he said to Remus and Lily. "Mortals can't kill me."
This, of course, was not entirely true. But as they had already gone over the subject of the ways to kill a Shinigami -Ryuk had expressly refused to disclose any information- he wasn't about to bring it up again. Especially not with someone who might actually want to kill him around.
...not that she'd ever be able to do it. Rainberries Ginny snorted contemptuously, speaking even as Remus opened his mouth to reply. "Bat Bogey Hex doesn't kill. Only the killing spell does that." She shuddered involuntarily, wishing Harry was there & at the same time glad he was not. He did not need to hear her talking about the spell that he had survived but had taken his parents. "It's pain, discomfort & annoyance, but it doesn't kill." She scowled more offended now than perhaps she had been before. Remus leaned into her. "Besides, I don't go around killing anyone." Mewling softly Liliana looked up at the scary-smiler. "Aunt Ginny's a good cook, Mister Ryuk sir. She always makes sure we have lots of nice things to eat that taste good too." Remus gave a wry grin. "I must concede that Ginny would never kill anyone."Eyes widening the redhead stared between father & daughter. "Ah, hello! I'm right here! You don't need to be talking about me like I'm not. Especially after it was your guardian that called me out here..." Ginny grumbled unhappily. Maybe she had been better off with Naruto & Wakko. They were nuts, but at least they were nice & appreciated her cooking. Even if they did settle for ramen. Lady Aria Starstone Hermione walked around a corner, approaching the group, but not paying attention to them. She spoke over her shoulder to some one. "Yup, right here, I found her. Remus too." "Well, now what have we here?" Around the corner steps a stocky, tall kitsu male, with longish red hair. "Ginny's out to give some one the Bat Bogey hex perhaps? I say go for it.""Why should she do that? We're here, why not just give him a canary cream? For some one irritating our little sister, its on the house!" Another, twin to the first, emerges, a wicked sparkle in his eyes.nooheadexplody Ryuk turned his head to face the approaching company, counting them. One...two...three. All robed like Remus was, but much younger. And the last two looked exactly alike! He guessed it wasn't really that much of a stretch, then, when he said that mortals were all alike.
The Shinigami addressed Remus again, as he was the one he could best tolerate. And by the looks of it, it was probably the same the other way around.
"Boy, you weren't kidding when you said there were a lot of you, hyuk hyuk." (continued page 57) Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Ginny's first rection was to run to Hermione even though she was in a bd mood. But then the pair of familiar voices caused her to groan. Isn't having talaye brothers enough? The full wizard repressed a shudder as he calmly turned his head. "Hello again Hermione. Fred, George... I did not know you were around." Liliana tilted her head at the twins. They did seem similar to Fred & George at home. Especially in voice & mannerisms. And the offering of treats. Her questioning mew brought a response at last from the youngest Weasley. "I don't need your help." Brown eyes flashed furiously. "Besides, he only eats uncooked apples it seems." Ginny snorted contemptuously. Nuzzling his daughter on the head to console her confusion for a moment Remus gave the shinigmi a wry smile. "So it would seem. I had not included Ginny's twin brothers into my count, not having seen them until just now myself."Ginny cast her glance at Hermione almost imploringly. "You don't come visit but you'll bring those two along?" She sighed heavily, her anger starting to dissipate slowly from her. "I've missed you, Hermione." Then with a tilt to her head she added "Have you seen Ron lately?"Lady Aria Starstone Hermione blushes at the visit comment, then shakes her head at the bit about Ron. "I'm sorry, THEY found me. And I haven't seen Ron in... well in a bit. I miss him again. Oh well. And what? They're your brothers. Be grateful I brought them. I coulda just told them to go themselves, I was reading!" Fred laughs, low in his throat, then looks at Ryuk. "Like him? Barely. He's a great guy, Remus, but I mean... Naw we're not the same at all."George walks right up to Ginny and thumps her gently on the back. "Admit it. You missed us. You can't live with out us. It killed you to not have us around. Be glad its us and not say Fleur Delacour."nooheadexplody The Shinigami kitsu's head spun at the mention of so many names. There were more of them? How could they remember them all? This always happened with coming into contact with mortals. You couldn't just meet one; each came with an entourage.
He especially wished that the two that looked alike didn't also act so similar. How was he supposed to tell the difference between them? Ryuk thought that all mortals were the same as it was; he didn't need any help with that.
Deciding not to even try to address each new arrival, he turned back to the fiesty red-headed female. She seemed to be sharing a tender moment with the other female. Ryuk had no qualms about ruining it with an interruption.
"...why would I have to eat anything else?" (continued page 63) Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf ((So sorry all! Lost my internet for two days! *cries* bad timing!! *tries to catch RPs up before event ends*))"No... It's okay Hermione. I... I shouldn't get upset with your just 'cause he's put me in a mood." She shoots a glare at the shinigami as Remus blanches at the comparison between himself & the twins. "Similar as in being wizards, yes. Otherwise, no. If I had their potential I would hope I would not be so frivolous with it." He gave the twins a pointed glance, to which Liliana quirked her head curiously. He treats them younger... are our talaye Weasley twins older than Daddy? Ginny was ignoring that little exchange. "Why'd I care about Fleur?" The youngest Weasley asked George just before turning a heated & baleful glare at Ryuk. "I don't know. I suppose you wouldn't have too. Just seems like a waste not to try other things when there are so many things to eat & so many ways to prepare them!" Her voice started as a scoff but ended up close to a wail. nooheadexplody Ryuk matched Ginny's glare with a blank, puzzled looking stare. This mortal really did care a lot about cooking. Although, after a moment's consideration, he realized that he shouldn't be as surprised as he was. Most mortals had some kind of passion in life, so this must be hers, as trivial as he thought it was. He supposed that when one had something to live for, it made being a mortal more bearable.
But he didn't care about her interests. For Ryuk, the redhead served endless amusement. She got so angry! Mortals were a riot. Lady Aria Starstone Hermione looked at her watch. "Boys. We go. Now. This way. I'm tired, you are, I'm sure, too." She turns, waving a good bye to the others, and leaves, looking very tired. George looks around, then grins. "See ya Ginny, Remus... We'll be around, we hope. Its been a pleasure. Don't do anything we wouldn't." then heads out.Fred grins. "And WHAT is it we wouldn't do, pray tell?" He calls after his brother, then nods to them. "Night, you lot. See you. We're hunting for... PREMISES... tommorrow. For the latest outpost of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes." He trots off after George.Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Remus raised a brow at the Weasleys mentioning a new establishment while their baby sister shrugged. They had always been talking about opening a joke shop someday. Perhaps while they were separated they had. "Come check out our library sometime, Hermione!" She called after her friend, waving a paw after the three. "Remember: any book you can think of!" Ginny grinned, thinking the lure of Myranda's conjuring might entice the book savvy Hermione. "Fare well Hermione. Fred. George. Perhaps we will see you again soon. Come, Liliana. It is late." The crimson furred teenager flicked her tails gently behind her, wondering if they would see the strange apple-eating kitsu again. "Okay Daddy. [yawn] I'm pretty sleepy."Waiting until his daughter hopped onto his back, Remus gave a nod to Ginny & followed the witch from HQ.

((December 2006 custom cosplay event)) Dazzler meets AearHwesta guild page 11Rainberries ((This is a different day than Dazz talking to Iroh. *grins*))It was a clear, beautiful morning. The mists of morning lingered over the grass, lightly covered with the thinnest layer of white. A crisp, cool morning breeze fluttered through the nearby trees, swaying their empty branches in the brightening morning light. The kitsu known as the Dazzler padded serenely across the short grass, her clip on skates with her radio inside her purse. On her back was an instrument case, half hidden by her long blonde hair. Finding a suitable spot Alison Blaire stopped & smiled into the sunrise. From her case she pulled out a golden lyre. It was one of her few prized possessions, given to her in Asgard by Odin the All-Father. She ran a paw lovingly across the strings, a soft sad smile playing across her face. Then, turning her face to feel the warmth of the rising sun Dazzler began to sing. "A little girl, on a sunlit lawn
Dreams of a day, when she will be grown.
She dreams her daddy & mom
will always be there...
Long as they are, she hasn't a care.
But she grows up --all too soon--
She grows up & the light of the moon tells her
Things aren't ... going to be...
The way they are in poetry
And all she's left with... are a Little Girl's Dreams.
A Little Girl's Dreams
She'd love to go back.
For a day, an hour,
Even for a minute.
But life's too fast
And Love's too hard...
And all she's left with...
--all I'm left with--
Are a Little Girl's Dreams... A blue and white angelic male drifted on the strength of the cool morning breeze, following the heavenly thread of song. The sailor knew he did not have to be an appreciator of music to know that the voice was more than good, though he was. He fluttered near the beautiful songstress as the last notes of her song faded away. Only then did he advance, bowing deeply mid-air. "Now that was the prettiest bit of music these ears have heard in a long time, lass."Dazzler started, not realizing she had an audience. Quickly but carefully she stowed her lyre away, giving herself a moment to speak calmly. "Thanks." She turned to look at the speaker, brow arching as she took in the sight of blue feathery wings & even... a halo? Oh God, not another Angel... "I thought I was alone." She admitted, keeping her thoughts to herself. AearHwesta smiled disarmingly at the pretty female, imaging things best left unsaid about her silver body suit & the fun of batting at the miniature disco-ball hanging from her neck. "Yer singing called me as sure as any Siren's song on the sea. I was helpless to resist it's lure." Although the praise felt good, his words set off warning flags all over. Still she blushed faintly & smiled easily as she graciously accepted the male's complement. "Thank you, though I hope I never drive anyone to their deaths." "If they were to get sight of you in addition to yer voice, I have no doubt all would go happily & willingly to their ends."Dazzler tossed her hair back with a light laugh. "Now you are pushing believability."The nautical angel back-winged in a playful display of being affronted, his paw going to his heart. "Ne'er would I exaggerate such a truth." Aear proclaimed. Then with a grin he bowed again, more flamboyantly than before. Alison refrained from rolling her eyes. The singer was not unaccustomed to the advances of males such as this one. Although she did have to admit that like the playboy, Angel, this blue & white angelic kitsu was one of the more eloquent suitors. "But I regress, lovely lass. I am AearHwesta. Might I have the honor of yer name."She smiled willing to go on with this pleasant game for the time being. Besides, she loved meeting new faces. "You my call me Dazzler, AearHwesta. Pleasure meeting you."Swooping down, Aear caught up her paw up in his own. His russet eyes twinkled up at her, loving how her baby blues sparkled in the morning sun. "The pleasure, Dazzler-lass, is all mine." With practiced grace he brushed his lips to her paw, pleased to see the slight blush that colored the female's cheeks beneath the blue of her butterfly mask. She would have to be much colder than she was to not be a little moved by the sailor's way of courting. Good thing she was wise to his ways. With a smile she gently pulled her paw away. "So... what do you do with yourself when not following a siren's call?" Rainberries "Why, I sail the high seas!" AearHwesta winkled bawdily at her, playful laughter in his russet eyes. "And I ease the loneliness in a lovely-lass when given the chance." He purred gently, reassuringly. Dazzler shook her head with a grin, stepping back. "Not with this lady, sailor." It was funny how the angelic's forwardness was not offending her as much as she would otherwise expect. It was almost cute, & despite herself Dazzler found herself thinking that their colorings would certainly look great together. She shook her head, casting the thought from her. No. This rogue was not one to settle, that was clear by his body language & speech. "I'm not looking for a duet right now." Looking disappointed, the male backed off. "As ye wish, Dazzler-lass." Rainberries Dazzler raised a brow. Was it really that simple? But the angelic had sat down & was just looking at her with a soft smile looking in no way like he was about to make a move. I could wish more males were as easily dissuaded. It was not so much that Aear had given up on the songstress, so much as his thoughts were not fully on the chase as it were. "Would ye sing something lass?" The Dazzler smiled. This was right up her alley. "You got a request?" "I mostly stick to sea chanties myself, but yer voice'd be wasted on the likes o' them. Sing what ye will, but please, sing." There was a soft entreaty to the male's voice and since his request matched so well with what she herself wanted to do Ali smiled & popped into a soul-felt rendition of a song possibly picked with leanings to AearHwesta's love of the sea mixed with the warmth of the rising sun. When the moon is in the Seventh House
and Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius! Aquarius!
When the moon is in the Seventh House
and Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!
As our hearts go beating through the night
We dance unto the dawn of day
To be the bearers of the water
Our light will lead the way
We are the spirit of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
Angelic illumination
Rising fiery constellation
Traveling our starry courses
Guided by the cosmic forces
Oh, care for us; Aquarius
As she sang she danced and as she danced a small shimmer of light bubbles cascaded around her as she transmuted the other sounds of the morning. Rainberries AearHwesta sighed happily, russet eyes sparkling with unabashed interest & delight as the female began to glow softly & produce a very fitting lightshow to accompany her song. As she finished & even the lights around her faded away he flicked his tails happily. "Ah, I've always liked that song. Ye certainly do "Dazzle", lovely siren." The sailor smiled charmingly at her & Ali smiled almost forcibly back. oh no. I shouldn't have produced lights! I just love that song & forgot! Please don't ask! Please don't ask! She paled a bit when he next spoke, forcing herself to keep her smile in place. "How do ye manage the lights, Dazzler luv?"The songstress bit her lip & smiled mysteriously. I can't go off & tell him I'm a mutant! No telling how he'll react to that! "Sorry, Sailor. That's a trade secret." she flashed him her sweetest smile -the one she used to dissuade reporters. Please accept that! What she told him was not an untruth; she had to keep the secret of her mutant powers for her act too. Aear smiled, seemingly quite willing to accept it. "Well, whether magic or technology tis a beautiful addition to yer siren's song. Though not," the nautical kitsu could not refrain from adding, "as beautiful as tha siren herself."Rainberries The female laughed softly at what appeared to be her new nickname. As the male inched forward however, she arched a brow. He was certainly one to be watched. Evenly Dazzler wondered how persistent this particular ladies kitsu would prove to be. Not that she was overly worried. She was not easily dazzled by pretty words alone. No sir. The lady prefered relationships that had single-minded fidelity. "Thank you." Smiling she waved, starting to walk off. "Wait, Lass. Yer nay leavin', are ye?" The sailor looked at her with such heartfelt regret that Alison suddenly had a glimpse of how he might succeed in enamoring ladies. "I'm sorry AearHwesta. It's been nice meeting you and all but I'm helping someone look for his nephew. Since there's only the two of us here, I need to go elsewhere to look. You understand, don't you?"Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf He looked disappointed but nodded. "Aye, Lass. I understand ye." He stood carefully, lightly stretching both body & wings with practiced ease. "What's this lad look like? Mayhap I've come across him."Surprised by his willingness to help, Dazzler blinked. Careful! He might just be acting friendly to stick around longer! "What does he look like? Well I was told he had dark hair, with a burn on his face & fire in his eyes.""A burn on his face?" His expression grew thoughtful. "I've seen a lad with a burned face. Quite a while ago now." A sadness crossed his face & the angelic male looked crestfallen. "Aye... the night those taken by shadows were altered by th' dark ones forever." Dazzler wondered at the personal pain Aear seemed to be putting himself through. Softly she padded back to him, lightly touching his paw with her own. "The one with the scar?" AearHwesta shook himself, then smiled. "I didn't catch his name, bu' from the look o' things I'd take him for a friend o' Ember's. Now, I think Ember's a bit scared o' me -scared o' his own shadow 'cept when facing those foul demons- But he's close wit' me brother, Remus." Dazzler's eyes grew bright & she clapped with excitement. "Really? Do you think they'd help find him? Maybe it's not the same guy, but I'm sure that he'll know strait away if he has an uncle looking for him!"AearHwesta, quirked a brow. This certainly had not gone acording to any plan he would have prefered, but if he stayed in the lady's company there was more chance of her coming around. " I ken try lovely siren." Stepping forward he brushed her shoulder with his, smiling. "Come wit' ol' AearHwesta, Lass. There's a few places we can look for Rem-lad, and with 'is help we might be able to convince his skittery Ember to join us. After that... well, we'll see."Rainberries They chatted amicably as they walked the morning towards the house in Bass'ken Woods where AearHwesta lived with his family. Dazzler made an effort to keep the conversation on light things -or more specifically, away from topics leading to personal "encounters" of a certain type. Spotting the comfortable one and a half story cabin Alison Blaire blinked in disbelief. "How many did you say lived here?" AearHwesta laughed heartily. "Many, lovely lass. Many. I've yet te count them all. There's a fair bit o' smaller creatures, bu' believe me: it's bigger than ye'd think from th' look o' it." The Dazzler made a funny sound in her throat. "It'd have to be." The male chuckled, ushering her gently to the door with a wing. Dazzler blinked, seeing a small white and pink cat like creature with her head close to the flowers growing in front. Flowers which, with the snow on the ground indicating the temperature, should not be growing. Following her amazed gaze AearHwesta grinned with almost fatherly affection. "Ah. Ye've caught sight o' our little Amaryllis. Aye. She's a right knack wit' growin' things, if'n ye catch my meaning. Don't be alarmed there's a lot o' magic about this house." His wing touched her backside & Dazzler hurried through the door Aear had opened for her. "Far out..." She breathed at the site of a multitude of creatures lounging about the room. A small pastel kitsu with many wings flew erratically at them [Uncle AearHwesta!! You missed the Song of Morning!] The little seraphim pouted up at the much larger angelic. Laughing Aear nuzzled the kit while Dazzler struggled to take in this oddly paternal side of one she could tell was a ladies' kitsu. "I caught a different Song o' Mornin', Talagand-lad." Aear's russet eyes indicated Dazzler with a smile & the seraphim kit tilted his head at her curiously. [Would you sing for me sometime?] Talagand asked innocently. "Sure thing, kid." Dazzler replied with a smile just before a voice startled her. "Now this is a first. Usually you don't bring them home with you. AearHwesta." The black skinned GaiaCom leaned against the wall, black gloved hands folded against her chest. The bright mint green of her witch's hat & dress seemed decidedly out of place with her biting tone. "You know Trel doesn't approve of infidelitous liaisons taking place in her home." "Which, like, is a total drag." Piped up a voice from the floor, as a beach patterned audio rhetoric stretched languidly. Aear seemed to be a little flustered at the look the laid back female was giving him "eh, nay today Gwen-luv." The angelic said averting his gaze. The GaiaCom & a few others chuckled at Aear's discomfort and Dazzler was left wondering at the inside joke. "Actually, Myranda-lass, we're here to find Rem-lad. De ye know if he's home?" "Like it's my function to know where everyone is?" The mint witch scoffed. Clearly she did not like AearHwesta or his type. "I believe Remus & Liliana are in the Library, AearHwesta." Dazzler turned to the kind voice, seeing a young woman with a toddler on her hip followed by two four legged creatures: a lovely peacock colored fae kyunru with large doe-like eyes & a cream & sienna jivvin drada -just into her horn with budding wings- who nipped playfully at the human's trailing angelic sash. She smiled brightly as she set the child down to play with his jivvin bond. "Welcome to our home, Dazzler. You're welcome to stay anytime. I wish I could be more hospitable, but lunch you know." "Thanks, Trelweny-lass." Alison stared in wonder at the human, whose long braid swung behind her. "I, uh.... sure." How did she know who I was? Smiling warmly Trelweny ushered the young ones ahead of her to the kitchen. "Nice meeting you!" Brushing her shoulder, Aear nudged the bewildered female to a single door on the left hand wall. "Dazzler-lass?" He asked gently, noticing her state. Deducing the cause he grinned, whispering "Aye, Trel knows thin's sometimes. Latent Talent she calls it, but ne'er 'bout herself. Most o' us knows she's some 'pathy, an' after tha' last time she broadcasted there's li'le doubt o' her empathy." Grinning Aear spoke normally once more, his great voice booming. "C'mon Lass. On te th' Library fer us." Talent? 'pathy? Does he mean telepathic like Professor Xavier? Perhaps she's a mutant too...But the Dazzler's thoughts trailed off as the door opened onto a huge classic library that could not possibly fit into what could be seen from the front of the house. The walls were floor to ceiling with books of every sort except for long, thin floor to raised ceiling windows evenly spaced throughout. The windows looked thin more from their height then their width, which was enough for an average human to sit in the window seat below each with their legs pulled up to rest a book on their knees while they took on a view of the ever-blooming gardens outside. A small cozy fire flickered in a grated fireplace in front of a loveseat & a pair of large wingback armchairs, all in soft but elegant leather. Each chair was just large enough for a single kitsu to curl into while the loveseat could easily fit two. "Far out..." Ali breathed in awe. A soft yip from one of the wingbacks echoed her and a little voice whispered "Daddy... Uncle Aear brought a lady-friend." Urged forward by the sailor's gentle nudges Dazzler saw the robed kitsu just as he sighed wearily from where he was curled around a small crimson kitsu teen. The small female watched them with wide green eyes. "Thank you, Liliana dear. I've already told Gwen we don't have the KamaSutra, AearHwesta" He turned to look at them and raised a brow at Dazzler's poignant "I'm not with him" look. "Ah. My apologies Miss..." "Dazzler." She smiled a little at the sincerity in the other's apology. "I take it you're Remus? Aear here said you might be able to help." Remus smiled wanly. "That depends, of course. With what do you require assistance? Blue eyes smiled at the well spoken male. Dazzler could see him getting along well with the tea drinking kitsu. "I'm trying to help someone find his nephew..." She started before Aear piped in. "Tha' burned lad who was with th' group o' us at the caves... ye know -where the demons' made the bobtails." Dazzler had been frowning slightly at being interrupted but her expression softened to hear the pained sound in the sailor's voice once more. Seeing Remus' equally disheartened reaction to the mention of it she wondered even more. What could have happened? Aear continued without pause. "The one who was a friend o' yer Ember? I thought ye could help th' lass see if he's th' one 'er friend is looking for.""Please?" Dazzler added, blue eyes entreating. [Please?] Piped a small but firm voice from the Angelic's back. Remus arched a brow at Talagand's interest. Intrigued, Liliana spoke up softly. "I'd like to meet your friend Ember, Daddy. Doesn't he have kits too?" Remus thought it over a bit more, but knew his mind was already made up. The prospect of seeing his Soul Brother again only made it that much more agreeable. "So you would like to find Ember to find this kitsu? I take it you need me to smooth things with Ember, do you AearHwesta?" The Nautical Angelic's sheepish duck of his massive head answered that & Remus chuckled. "Certainly, I will help. It has been far too long since Ember & I last met."Dazzler's jubilant "Far out!!" echoed in the usually quiet library & they all laughed. "Well then, let us get going. We can only hope Ember is at HeadQuarters today."(cont page 43) Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf AearHwesta led the way, the pastel seraphim kit sometimes flying with him & sometimes riding along since he was still building up his wing muscles. Remus & Dazzler chatted amiably -much to the angelic sailor's disappointment- about this and that, while Liliana walked between them. Mostly of Ember & some on what they knew about the scarred kitsu. Which was not much. "We were more concerned with finding those that were lost than in meeting our fellow searchers for the most part, I fear." After learning what had happened, Dazzler insisted that there was nothing wrong with that -as it should be, in fact. Entering the headquarters they all looked around to see if Ember was there with varying degrees of hope in their eyes. Autumn_Fury Ember was indeed within, talking with another...a many-earringed kitsu he'd just met. At the moment he was questioning him as to how he could stand having something jabbed into his flesh so many times. " Doesn't it hurt?" he exclaimed, eyes wide as anything, tails flicking anxiously back and forth at the very thought of anything puncturing his flesh...of course, he had one earring, but that was Luna's doing. " Not really.."" Kio replied nonchalantly, again flicking his troublesome mop of hair from his eyes. " "Just quick- like a stapler. Punch, punch, and you're done." Sou-chan had asked him the same thing many times...but then, Sou-chan, that pervert, had no problem with pain. This was made painfully (Hah! he cracked himself up.) obvious by all of the times he'd come home bleeding and dazed, the jagged cuts at his neck oozing dark liquid. Kio thought he'd never get the metalic tang of blood out of his nose... Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Spotting his Soul Brother, Remus Lupin's tails wagged. He resisted the urge to call out to him, not wishing to interrupt Ember's conversation. Following his gaze, Dazzler figured from the wizard's happy reaction that this was his good friend. Both glanced up at AearHwesta, hoping the oftentimes brash angelic would not be rude. However, Aear seemed to be on his best behavior, which he was. Odd the lengths he would sometimes go through to impress a lady that had caught his interest. He landed behind Remus & the Dazzler, in an attempt not to startle Remus' often jumpy friend. Remus led them around a bit so that he would be in Ember's line of sight & smiled at his friend. ((Touga's more than welcome to join in if you want, Natty!))Autumn_Fury As Ember spotted Remus, he grinned widely, though he politely waited until Kio finished what he was saying (though he didn't hear a word) before pouncing at him and nuzzling at him. " Remus!" he cried happily, ignoring Kio's bemused stare. " Soul's Brother! I've missed you!" " I take it they know each other then..." Kio muttered, falling back into his habit of talking to himself. " At least I'd hope so..." Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Pounced, Remus laughed feeling more like a carefree kit than he could ever rememeber. "Ember! I have missed you!" The wizard nuzzled him back, much to the amusement of AearHwesta & the confusion of Dazzler. Remus had seemed so laid back & almost stoic... to see him like this almost boggled her mind as she made adjustments to how she saw him. "Hello, honorary uncle Ember." Liliana piped up, gently fluttering her small wings. "Who's your friend?"Aear & Dazzler kept quiet, trusting that Remus would bring up the quest at a fitting time. Autumn_Fury Ember blinked. Uncle? Honorary Uncle? " I'm s-sorry, miss...but...Uncle? I am...I'm Ember, but I don't think we're....k-kin." Processing for a moment, Em remembered her question, realized his rudeness, and jumped back to introduce the pierced kitsu. " Remus..and...a-all of you..." Yipes. Why had he not noticed all of them before?" This is Kio. Kio, this is Remus.." Ember trailed off as he realized he didn't know the others...oh, but wait, yes he did! " and AearHwesta" " Pleasure to meet you." Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The young one blinked at Ember. "You’re Daddy’s soul brother aren't you? That makes you my uncle! And since you're not blood-kin or house-kin you’re honorary." At any rate it made perfect sense to Lily. "My eldest daughter, Liliana." The wizard offered as way of explanation. "A pleasure to meet you, Kio." Remus said with a smile. Behind him Aear gave a polite little bow while Dazzler nodded her head, lifting a paw to wave at Kio. "The little one with AearHwesta is Talagand." Talagand meeped & held onto the angelic's head, wings against his back. "Ember, Kio, this is Dazzler." Now introduced, Dazzler grins. "Hi!" She wondered if the pierced kitsu liked Rock n' Roll. "She is helping someone look for his nephew, a kitsu with a burn on his face. AearHwesta thought perhaps your friend..." Explaining what had happened to Dazzler was one thing, speaking about the events of that night other than for learning purposes was another altogether and something Remus would rather not bring up. "Well, he is the only kitsu with a burn on his face that we know of."Autumn_Fury Ember blinked, and then grinned. " Your daughter, Remus? You should have told me that in the first place!" Trotting over to the younger kitsu, he bowed his head politely. " Nice to meet you, Liliana. I'm...well, you already know my name." Taking in the other two unknown kitsu, Ember fought back nervousness and forced himself to smile at them. " Nice to m-meet you, Dazzler and Tagaland. And it's good to see you as well, AearHwesta." Kio, feeling ignored, made a point to cough a little over-loudly and grin at the group. " Yeah, nice t'meet you all. I'm Kio! Who did you say you were looking for?" Oh...right. A...a scarred kitsu, you say? You mean Zuko? I...don't exactly know where he is, but maybe Qaniit does...being his daughter and all. I can probably find her, at least..." Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Daughter?" Dazzler quirked a brow. Iroh had not mentioned his nephew having any children. For a moment she wondered if this would be a dead end. Talagand flew from Aear's head to the singer's. [Try.] He encouraged his fellow singer gently. Pushing blonde hair over her shoulder Alison smiled at Ember & Kio. "All I know is that he has a scar on his face, dark hair, & fire burning in his eyes." She chuckled softly. "Not a lot, I know... but I figured there couldn't be many kitsu with face scars that would react to hearing he had an uncle looking for him." Lily grinned up at her honorary uncle at that, green eyes laughing. "Tha'd be right good o' ye, Ember lad."Remus nuzzled his friend "Thank you, Ember." Dazzler thought on finding the daughter to find the father. Not really any more 'round about than when I was searching for my mother. Already I've better leads than I did when looking for Mom. And in less time too. Smiling brightly she inclined her head lightly to Kio so as not to dislodge the seraphim kit on top. "Would you want to come too?" Graphophobia Blinking large golden eyes, the scarred Kitsusagi tilted his head to one side, and then to the other. Well now, this was certianly some place new... He'd been walking, wanting to clear his head... And now he was off the Mountain, and in some place entirely new and different. Quickly he thought of his children, and of Sokka. Where were they? Would they be okay without him? He'd be able to find his way back, of that he had no doubt, but what if danger came while he was away? While he was too far away from home? But then, the prospect of exploring a new place was almost too strong to resist... Autumn_Fury " Fire in his eyes...yes, that sounds like Zuko quite a bit." Now that he had a purpose, Ember's initial anxiety at meeting so many others at once faded away, and he grinned. Fire...well, Zuko could fire...fire...fireblend? Something like that. " I never heard him talk about an uncle, though...I hope Zuko's the one you're looking for." " I suppose I might as well..." Kio replied with a dramatic sigh, subconciously reching into his pocket for what seemed to be a never-ending supply of chupas. Once he popped one of said sweets into his mouth, he shrugged, and then nodded." Can't be any more boring than it is here, anyway." And so, Ember set off to find the little girl, hoping that she'd be easily accessable, and able to tell them where her father was.. but he would never have guessed that he'd have the luck to run into the Father before the daughter. " Zuko~! he called excitedly, bounding over towards him and grinning as he waited for the others to catch up. " Zuko...wait!" [Alchemist.exe]
"Zuko!" It was a startled sound, though definitely excited. With Suyitna squeaking in alarm over him stopping so suddenly, the kit tumbling over his feet, Sokka paused to look at his mate in surprise, certainly not expecting to see him here, but more than happy to. It felt like it had been forever. A moment later, he rushed forward, the teen kit rushing after him, to meet up with the firebender.dbz2004
Iroh wandered around outside after being penned up inside for too long. He had forgotten about the weather change until he stepped outside of the building. Snow was beginning to fall, but that didn't bother him at all. Gazing around, he saw a familiar form in the distance. "That can't be him," he muttered under his breath. Slowly, he began to walk towards the scarred kitsu, wondering if it really was his nephew. It was a few seconds later that he spotted two more kitsu, one familiar and one unfamiliar, heading towards the scarred kitsu. Canting his head to one side, he heard his nephew's name being shout out from the teen's maw. Sighing, he wandered over to the two kitsu, hoping he might be spotted by Zuko.
Graphophobia Zuko broke out of his musings to see Ember bounding towards him. A grin broke out on his face at the sight of his old friend, and trotted over to meet him half way. "Ember, what are you doing here? It's good to see you though," he added quickly, nipping at his friend's nose in a friendly matter. Just then, both Sokka and the little Suyi- thought not so little any more- coming towards him. A little behind Suyi and Sokka was Tupit, the boy after his own introverted heart. "Did you three follow me?" he asked, perching a brow high on his forehead, unaware of the Kitsu in the distance that seemed to be eyeing him. "And Tupit, don't scowl so much. Your face might stick that way." Affectionately, he nuzzled at his son, before moving to Sokka, purring to him and licking his cheek. "Lovely... I've missed you. And look, Em's here too. Quite a large gathering of Kitsus I care about." The smile in Zuko's eyes said that he didn't mind at all. [Alchemist.exe] Suyi bounced around Zuko, squeaking happily and ducking beneath his father at random. "We did... we couldn't help but to wonder where you were going, y'know," Sokka said, laughing softly and nuzzling gently at Zuko in return, licking his cheek lightly. "We weren't exactly planning on lingering and waiting for you to return... You know m'not like that." He flashed a grin, looking amused.
It was he who noticed the kitsu in the distance, something tingling on the edges of his senses, and sharp blue eyes looked directly at Iroh. "Zuko... is that...?" dbz2004
Iroh stopped in his tracks when he spotted Zuko licking Sokka. He widened his eyes with terror to find his nephew so close and affectionate to someone he considered a rival. He backed up a few steps and stumbled in the fresh snow. Turning around, he started to run away, but then he stopped. Slowly, he turned back around and started heading back towards the small group of kitsu, his head held down low with shame.
Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Lily hid in her fathers robes as he casually followed his soul brother, the others just behind him. "Well, I did not expect to succeed so quickly." With a gentle smile he dipped his head at Zuko & Sokka. "I do not believe we introduced ourselves last time we saw you. I am Remus Lupin. The angelic you may remember seeing before is AearHwesta. The others that I came here tonight with are Dazzler, Talagand & my daughter, Liliana." He blinked. "I see you as well have young since last I saw you."Dazzler was in shock a little at the sudden appearance of what could be her quarry & his... foe? They certainly did not act like enemies. "Hi!" She smiled warmly, a flicker of light playing about her in her sudden nervousness as she stepped beside the wizard. "Fancy you being here... I was hoping to find someone fitting your description. Are you missing an uncle?" Then catching sight of the familiar older male she yipped with excitement. The glow around her intensified as she seemed to momentarily forget to control her powers. "You-hoo!! Over here, Firebender!"

((December 2006 custom cosplay event)) Dazzler & Spidey guild page 51Rainberries ((sorry this took so long. rl stuff & making dinner, you know. *sheepish* By the way, Dazz does not know Spidey's identity. *winks* & of course Dazz being a singer, Dazzler's her stage name, not a secret identity thing so people can know she's the same. I think Spidey's in the group that knows she's a mutant. (not RPing much past Dazzler 21, so she's never been an x-man) *grins*))RP for Dazz & Spidey. Alison Blaire was feeling pretty good. She had not really been integral in finding her new friend Iroh's nephew, but it had happened nonetheless. She had new friends in AearHwesta's family... even though she still had to push off his advances every time they met. Friends are great... I just wish I knew how all my old friends were doing...
Entering the HeadQuarters she snapped her skates back on her boots, slipping the ones for her front paws on as well. Dazzler did not think often of the fact that she now went on all fours, had three tails, & could not wash off what used to only be her stage make-up. Like everything else that had befallen her in life, Alison took it well in stride.
Cranking up her music, the Dazzler found an empty spot of smooth floor & began to skate -transmuting sound into light in an array of colors in her wake. Rainberries Melomar (( Actually... before I reply. I looked around for info online about Dazzler and Spidey, and all I could find is that he helped her out once. Do you know what the nature of their time spent together was? I'd really like to be true to whatever friendship or...enmity...they might have. smile )) ((*wry grin* online Dazzler sources are pretty pathetic... or they go into her LongShot relationship which I am so avoiding. Basically, they're friends. He's gone to a few of her concerts as Spider-Man for charities & stuff. He was one of the heroes that got her first manager to listen to her sing. They're basically just pals. *goes to scan in images & stuff* Been a while since I read strait thru my Dazz comics. *sheepish* *edit* they met in amazing spider-man #203)) Melomar (( Right on. ^^ *shoves Spidey in~* <3 Hmm, going to go with.... small writing, as there is other blue writing here now. ^^)) HQ seemed to be beaming multicolored light through the windows, muffled but loud music clearly vibrating the glass. Spidey floated on a stray breeze, swinging on webbing as he crossed the lawn. The vibrations tickled his sensitive feet as he touched the grass and later the door as he made his way inside.
"Who got this party started? I'll forgive you for forgetting to wait for me," he called out, looking around with a grin on his face. With the door closed behind him though, he was surprised at the site of Dazzler skating around the floor. Without another word, he hopped onto the wall, climbed up, then across the ceiling toward his once-friend. "Dazzler..?" he called down to her questioningly, a little off to the side so she would not have to crane her neck with discomfort.Rainberries Spinning in a relaxed curve the skater drug a back leg behind her to stop herself. Her blue tipped ears rose & twitched at the familiar voice & Dazzler spun around in excitement. "Spidey?" Her blue eyes sparkled, seeing him. "Spidey! Oh! It is you! Far out! Long time, no see! How've you been?" Melomar Grinning hugely, Spidey murmured, "Grooovy," and swung down on a thin gossamer rope, touching the ground silently. "I've been great! How about you? Seems like I haven't seen you in forever." Rainberries "I know, I've been busy!" Skating to him Dazzler gave the wall crawler a friendly hug. "But my singing career's picking up! No more Daisy's Cow gigs! I've..." Skating a step or two back the songstess blinked, wonder in her baby blue eyes. "Disco madness... you've got wings?" Melomar Spidey returned the hug with a smile, listening to ... well, the story of her life. It was nice to finally talk with another kitsu and catch up on old times! There were just so many new people to meet here! "That's great! I'd love to hear some of your new stuff sometime." Spidey blinked and stuttered a bit, glancing up at his strange wings. "Uh-whu... why yes... More like a mini-parachute but yes, aren't they nifty?" A toothy grin cracked his face in two as he flapped them a bit, just a leading edge tine with some feathers and a webbed sail beneath. He showed a wing to her. "I can't really use them to fly as you can see... but they're a great conversational piece. I'm considering getting them stuffed and arranged into a center piece for my dining room table. What do you think?" Rainberries The female shook in easy laughter. "They certainly are a conversation piece but I think they're much nicer on you than your dining room table."
With practiced ease Dazzler pushed off with a skate to circle around Spidey & check out the extent of his wings. She whistled appreciatively in a kindly manner; nothing like a wolf call. "Far out! Parachute only or not, those are some groovy wings, Spidey!"
Coming back to face him again she put on the brakes. An almost shy smile coming to her face. "Did you really mean that, about hearing my new stuff?" Hope, & pride in her chosen career flickered wildly in her baby blues. Melomar "Maybe you're right. If I got myself skates and bells they'd make a great cape..." He smirked, looking back at his wings and waving them slightly, the webbing fluttering like silvery, threadbare fabric. Looking up at her as she came to a stop, he grinned broadly. "Of course! Honestly, before I saw you I thought there was a party in here. Your ... ahem, you ..." he emphasized the last with a wink and slight inflection, hoping she'd get a silent reference to her powers in case she wanted to hide them here, "really lighten up a room. Absolutely no pun intended. Okay, just a little one. But when you start singing and the lights come on, people can't help but want to dance and sing along."((...and I'm really hoping that was the case in the comics. XD; )) Rainberries ((*huggles* pretty much! xd ))Alison blushed. Thankfully her blue butterfly mask covered part of it. "Thanks. You always did know how to compliment a lady." And without her feeling like you might have ulterior motives too. "I've been a little, well, maybe careless around here lately. There's a lot of kitsu with powers!" Her voice rose from the excitement behind it as Dazzler clapped her forepaws together. "I just..." She tilted her head with girlish sheepishness in a quick bob to the right, then back up again. "... don't mention the whole "m" thing, you know. Let'em believe the lights come from the radio or some magic."
Speaking of magic her eyes danced. "Didja know there's wizards around here? I met a family with three of them! Totally groovy the things they could do with a wave of their wands!" Melomar Spidey blushed, face darkening from red to...red. "Aw, I speak only truth... unless I'm joking. And you know I wasn't joking, except when I was." Haw haw. Aw, shucks...t'warnt nuthin'. Great comeback, Spidey!
"Oh! Yes, of course. I wouldn't dream of divulging your...mm...recipe secret," he beamed. "As to magic and wizards... yes! There all varieties of abilities around here, and it's mind-boggling! Fascinating too," he giggled a little, scientific mind clinking away merrily. Rainberries The songstress raised a brow at what seemed to be a flustered Spidey, though she could not see the blush. "Oh wow. Don't tell me I've succeeded in making you off balance." Her grin was almost mischievous for her.
"I appreciate that, Spidey." About not mentioning she was a mutant. Her blue eyes sparkled gratefully, impressed as always with the wall-crawler's quick wit & mind. "I know what you mean about the abilities though! I've made friends with a Firebender! I didn't know there was such a thing! It's far out!" Melomar "Off-balance? Me?" Spidey fluffed up, rising an inch or two on his toes in mock bravado. "My dear, spiders never lose their balance." He did not reply to what she said next, not with words. It was a welcome change of subject, so he nodded, smile coming to his face easily. "Fire...bender? Bending fire? How would someone go about doing that? It seems improbable, impossible... hey, he's not a magician is he?" he joked, elbowing her. In all honestly, he was intrigued, curiosity going off like psychedelic spider-sense. Rainberries Dazzler had to snicker at Spidey's display. It really warmed her heart to be around someone so familiar. "Maybe a kind of magic... he said he uses his chi." The female's look of not quite getting that concept yet was evident. "So, not magic like the wizards I met, or like the Enchantress -remember at the Uno? just before you guys helped me audition for Harry Osgood?- but maybe magic of some type. Magic more than science I'd wager."
"He said chi's the energy in us... I guess I just don't get it." She laughed.((If you want scans of the incident, gimmie a sec. trying to figure out new scanner. *grins*)) Melomar (( Okay, that'd be great! biggrin Or even a summary... x3 )) Spidey nodded as he listened. He certainly did not understand all of that, but he was absorbing all of it, hoping to understand much more later on. "Let's see, I understand something about chi... it has to do with martial arts. So it's a focus, concentration. But... bending fire? Like bending spoons maybe?" He chuckled a little, not really laughing at this supposed magic, but more out of embarrassment and a little nervousness. All he could do was speculate. "Think of it as a m-- eh... magical power that everyone supposedly has hidden within...sometimes very deeply within..."Rainberries ((I'll sum up, & add a couple of scans if PB ever decides to load them. *grins*
Le'see... Not sure how Daz met Spidey, as I've not seen ASM 203, but in Daz 1 he helps her out with some thugs sent by her former employer trying to "persuade" her to work for peanuts. Not long after, Beast (with the Avengers at the time) shows her the Uno Disco's open audition add. She beats out the Asgardian goddess, Entrantress, royally pissing her off.
Spidey, the Avengers, the FF & the X-men all incognito come to the Uno's Grand Opening to see Daz perform. Of course, 'chanty shows up trying to take over the universe (rift on the stage... you really don't wanna know that part). She ages Daz, who manages to shoot light at the disco ball & knock 'chanty out long enough for the spell to stop. Then the heroes all get together to kick demon booty when 'chanty summons them.
She thinks her career is over but then someone in the audience gives her Harry's card & the avengers take everyone in there jet to get her to meet the guy. much funfun.
*edit: Enchantress Departs Dejected to Elated (Dazzler #2)*))"Yeah." Like I told him, I kinda get it in theory... but the practical I don't get at all." Laughing at herself she grinned. "It wasn't really "bending" ... at least not what he's shown me. More like... he creates the fire from his chi like I create light from sound."
"Except he had to make a motion, unless that was fro my benefit. Come to think of it... the movement was kinda like when those groups of people practice Tae Chi down in Central Park." Daz had a thoughtful look on her face as she tilted her head to the side. "Do you think they're connected? I mean, the chi seems like a dead give away." Melomar (( Ahh, fun fun. OOCSpidey: See, everything comes to life when you sing. Then demons come out of the floor! XD;; )) "Ahh..." Spidey nodded. "And yes, I believe it is definitely connected. Though... I don't know if the movements are really needed. I think it's like magic where people recite a spell... whether the words are specifically needed might be an individual decision." The red and blue kitsu shrugged, realizing that magic could be just as complex as any science out there. Fascinating...Rainberries "Wow." Dazzler shook her head in wonder, long blonde hair swaying gently. "That's pretty keen. I think I'll stick to my lightshows." She laughed lightly. "I understand how I do that."
"So what do you do for fun around here? Met anyone else I might know?" Melomar "Hm..." Spidey nodded faintly to himself. "Most recently I have met someone named Valefor, and she was familiar with different types of magic." Unable to hide the awe in his voice over her...in general...he pressed on quickly. "I also know a parrot-girl named Gypsy. Met her when she was just a little one last year. She's already grown and mated. I feel so old...." Sniffling faintly, squishing his great grimace back into place he added, "I also know some various others. Xelloss was an interesting guy..." Rainberries Sitting down to take her skates off Dazzler nodded as she took it all in. She caught the awe in Spidey's voice as he talked about Valefor and though her brow quirked in curiosity she said nothing. "Yes, they grow quick around here, don't they? Remus -one of the Wizards I met- he was saying how his kits were already nearly grown when they only hatched before Halloween." She shook her head in mild disbelief, still letting the information sink in. "And Iroh's nephew... why he had kits too, that his uncle did not even know about!"
She blinked up at Spidey as she folded her skates & slipped them into her silver purse next to her radio. "It's a lot to get used to." Melomar "Tell me about it," Spidey grinned, thinking mostly of Gypsy and how shocked he had been to find her both grown and mated in the same meeting... Frowning slightly he glanced back at Dazzler as she put her skates away, obviously having missed the look she had given him. "Say, Daz... how long have you been...er, in town anyway?" Rainberries The songstress chuckled. "You mean how long I've been furred & tailed?" Her shoulders shrugged. "Not sure really. Only just started coming around this place..." She inclined her head to indicate the HQ "... for about a week or two. It's nicer than my apartment, between gigs."
"How about you? You said you were here last year, but missed your Gypsy friend grow. Did you have to leave?" Melomar "Well I..." Spidey's grin faded to a perplexed frown, followed by a fair spectrum of expressions. Finally, an apologetic laugh: "I don't remember." Rainberries She laughed. "Spidey, I never would have taken you for one to forget things! That's just... oh, man!" Her body shook as Dazzler tried to stop laughing. "oh wow. That's just funny." Melomar Spidey chuckled a little as well. "Yes, I know... but I literally have a space in time that I frankly do not remember. I think it has something to do with my transition to ... where we are here. Our current state of being, that is. I don't suppose it makes very much sense, but that's the best I can do as far as reasoning things out. That or I suffered a nasty blow to the head. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Getting her laughter down to a gentle chuckle Daz smiled. "That's enough sense for me. I guess the only thing to do is hope there is some real sense to it, somehow, & that we just don't know it yet."

((December 2006 custom cosplay event)) Dazzler & AearHwesta meet Fai guild page 67Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Now Dazzler-lass, I don't see why yer so against letting me take ye fer a flight." The blonde haired songstress strode in through the door AearHwesta gallantly held open for her. She knew it was a nice gesture, & she appreciated it. Really she did. Dazzler just wished she could trust his intentions better than she did. She trusted his kindness was hoping to lead to one thing. One thing the Dazzler was not interested in. "No. No flying. I've already had enough with an Angel, thank you." silent artist Fai perked his ears at the voices, voices he had never heard before. He made his way to the source, which seemed to be inside a building of some sort. "Hyuu! Now who could that be?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Still holding the door the nautical angelic looked perplexed. "We're angelics, not angels, lovely Siren.""Oh! That's not the point at all!" Stomping one silvered boot Dazzler spun around -blonde hair flying- to face the lusty male, debating whether to explain about Warren Worthington or not. She stopped short, thinking she saw someone outside through the open door. "I'll finish with you later. I think there's someone..."
"Hello!" She called with honest kindness. "Care to join us out of the cold?"silent artist Fai looked to the open door. Another kitsu, with beautiful wings and fair hair, was inviting him inside. "It would be my pleasure to join you miss!" And Fai made his way to the building. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf ((This would be so much easier if my browsers wanted to load... *hugs* Thanks & sorry I've been slow!))Dazzler grinned at the hooded kitsu. Seems really sweet. "They call me Dazzler. This fellow here is AearHwesta." Putting his wings behind him Aear bowed. "Nice meeting ye, Lad.""What do you like to be called?" silent artist Fai gave a small smile. "My name is Fai. Pleased to meet you both" Fai entered the building, enjoying its warmth. "are you too travelers in this realm as well?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf AearHwesta laughed a great booming laugh. "Nay Fai-lad. I live here. Sail the seas on me lovely Hiril Anorfalf when I'm nay afraid to hurt her o' the forming ice.Shaking her head, Dazzler repositioned a silver bracelet on her foreleg. "I travel a fair bit for my gigs, Fai, but other than getting used to fur & tails remembering that I didn't used to have them things seems near enough to normal." There was a look in the female's baby blues that belied the strength of her words. "Why're you traveling?"silent artist Fai blinked a few times at their way of speech. It was quite fanciful, and he blushed at himself for not understanding. "I'm afraid your great and whimsical vocabulary is hard for me to, erm, decipher." Fai gave a sheepish grin. "But I am traveling to assist my friend princess in recovering something precious to her." Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The Angelic, accustomed to comments on his way of speaking. only chuckled at the newcomer's comment. "The Hiril Anorfalf be me ship, Lad." Dazzler however had to blink & recover a bit from her surprise. Me? Having a whimsical vocabulary? She smiled as she pushed away her confusion for now, focusing on something that was not confusing. "Far out! Helping friends is always a great reason to do anything."Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Peeking in her purse to turn on the radio for some tunes Dazzler yipped. "What be the matter, Lass?" AearHwesta inquired, using genuine concern as an excuse to flutter closer as if to peer into her purse. The lovely songstress did not pay any heed to his proximity, more concerned about the time readout on her portable radio. "Sorry boys! I've gotta jet!! I've 20 til my gig & if I'm late Harry'll flay me! It's been far out! Really! Nice meeting you all!" Slapping shut her purse she raced for the door with a friendly wave. Quirking his head for a fraction of a second the blue & white angelic grinned, russet eyes glinting. He nodded his own goodbye to those present Before taking off after Dazzler. "Yer late, Lass? How 'bout I give ye a lift. Faster as the crow flies, ye know."Paw on the door Dazzler paused, contemplating his offer. He's been nothing but a gentlekitsu even though I know what he really wants... and I am late! "Okay Sailor! I'd be fool to turn down a quick transport! It could mean my career!" With a grin the angelic lifted the silver clad female in his paws & flew them away on Dazzler's hastily explained directions. I hope I don't have to explain this to Lance or the boys! They know I'm done with Angels!

[insert title here Page 3266Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf ((I'm back online!!! I'll RP with you Sae!!! *flings out Chroma* Chroma: wah!! I don't fly!! Not without Aear carrying me! heh...)) saedusk ((Fwee! x3 <333))How long had it been? A few days, a few weeks? Heck, he wasn't really counting anymore. Stretching across the empty feeling of their spot in the corner, he sighed. So, it was probably he fault and all. He hadn't been here in an even longer time. But now Nadeshiko had begun to learn to take care of herself much better. Now he could come as often as he liked, it seemed. Yet, he felt no urge to come if Chroma wasn't here. It'd only been a half an hour, but he'd already given up on seeing her today. Sighing again, India shut his amber eyes and tried to sleep. But this place wasn't good for sleeping anymore. Not without her. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The happy-go-lucky female had plenty to keep her occupied between stops into HQ, what with the latest tala popping out of their baskets & the numa couple deciding to move in rather than hang around NNL. Not to mention helping keep all the little ones away from the odd presents starting to collect in a corner of the main room! Chroma was curious too, but the ache inside kept her fairly well behaved. She knew that nothing in those packages would make her happy.
So again she peeked hopefully into the HQ, her eyes automatically going to his spot. And there he was!! With a happy squeak of jubilation Chroma launched herself through the door. "Indi--aa!!!" saedusk The first thought that registered was that someone oughta turn down the volume on whatever that was. How was he supposed to sleep? It seemed dispite his inability to sleep, his brain still functioned as if he were. Long ears slid back, willing away the sound that rang in his ears, that it, until something finally kicked in. Don't set yourself up for a fall, his mind told him, but he willed the annoying thought away and forced open his eyes. He wasn't crazy! Thank God. "Chroma..." he muttered, tone rather serious. But there wasn't much time for that, as their usual greeting ensued and India found himself knocked back by his mate. Had it really been that long? Yeah, he supposed it had. Unable to hold back a laugh, he leaned back against the floor again. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Luckily, Chroma rarely thought of the passage of time so other than missing her mate she had little idea how long she had missed him. "India!! Oh India! You're here!
She nuzzled him happily, snuggling against him then nipping lightly & playfully at his black tail before turning around & weaving their tails together. "I missed you India." saedusk It was true that no matter how used to her displays of affection India became, he could never fully get used to it. Not that he had a problem, of course. More so, it made him laugh. And he couldn't say he really liked laughing for basically no reason. "I missed you, too," he got out in between little chuckles. And he did his best to return her nuzzles, but the onslaught of affection found him lazy and more than willing just to let her do the work, while he enjoyed the touch. "Sorry I haven't been around..." His laughs had slowed now. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf It was so good to hear India laugh. "aww, 'ndia... that's okay... Maybe I should just go 'way with you more often!" Chroma had an excited & slightly hopeful look on her face at the thought & she snuggled closer to her mate, starting to purr. "Didja know Remy's kits grew out of being kits now? They're still little, but they're not kits!"
There was a clearly wistful sound to her exclamation; heightened by the tiny mew thrown on the end. The red tips of her ears dipped a little bit, ever so slightly. saedusk Sitting up as best as possible, India curled around her in a sort of agreement. He'd be more than happy to have her. And, truth be told, when Nadeshiko wasn't whining about not being able to see Crow in so long, she was asking about 'Shiny.' Even after learning Chroma's name, the flowered femme still called her that, as she had at their first... rather eventful meeting. Mulling humorously over that time, he almost missed her next statement. Shaking himself from the stupor, he grinned lightly.
"So, Remus's kits have grown?" He repeated. He still, no matter how much time passed, found it almost funny that the slightly nervous Remus he remembered had kits at all. But he was happy for his brother-in-law, of course. And yet, if there was some sort of subliminal message in Chroma's statement, he seemed to pick up on it. It was a surprise, even to himself. He found he wanted kits, too. Hrm... Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf ((How 'bout outside? I'll bring Ginny there.))Ginny Weasley shook some of the falling snow casually from her black Hogwarts robes. She needed a walk, hence not apparating today as she usually would since learning the skill from Remus & the talaye Weasley Twins. It was a crisp & cold day, not too cold though. Just enough to see her breath & to keep the thin layer of snow from melting from the grass. The light snow flurries clung to her fiery red mane & sparkled their in the bright sunlight.
She sighed. It as good to have a little time alone outside, without family. Mythic Foxers ((That'd work. xD heart ))
Tanner had been wandering through a very odd and confusing forest. He had survived alone on the surroundings, and his sense of direction. He hoped he could find a town or something to rest in, hopefully he wouldn't go crazy like that..
((I fail. ;D ))((D8 I chose the 'Lost in the Forest' Idea. Dx )) Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Yup! Lily is such a sweet thing, always following her Daddy around. Though they're usually in the library or off visiting Nari & MauCho at their house. I've had to babysit a couple o' times, though Aear's taken a particular interest in the winged little ones: shich is pretty much Talagand & Liliana."
Chroma pressed closer , lifting her maw to n** lightly at India's ear. "India... don't you...? I mean, can't we... can't we play the new game soon? Now? To get eggs? Now we're together again?"
She had not stopped thinking a bunny brought the eggs, but in her desire to signal the bunny was more interested in the process than where the eggs would come from. "Or maybe later today? After eating & sleeping some?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf The female kitsu turned beside the forest, not quite lost in her own thoughts. Her pink & orange banded tails flicked haphazardly giving hint at the discord of her thoughts that she was attempting to smooth. She blinked, seeing something not quite a kitsusagi coming out of the forest ahead of her. Ginny's yellow guardian peeked his tiny head from her robes to chitter excitedly in her ear. It twitched slightly at Arnold's words, but otherwise Ginny showed little outward sign of listening to the small creature.
Then with a sigh the witch trotted closer. Hopefully Her guardian could translate this being's language as well. "Hey there. You look cold." saedusk India listened semi-intently to her story. While he'd normally offer his full, undivided attention, something told him that a familiar nervousness would soon befall him. It was enough to attract part of his attention. And he'd been right.
"Well... um." That always got him. And he never knew how to explain the truth in a simple way that wouldn't have him dead from embarassment on the spot. He knew Chroma meant to harm. Yet, that story she believed about summoning the bunny... it made him awfully nervous. And it seemed it came up everytime they met now. He tried to center himself, taking in a deep breath. Okay, here came the truth! "Well... you can't really plan it, it just happens. I meant to tell you." It was partially true, anyway. "You just gotta... keep hoping." Oh, the grave he was digging. Mythic Foxers Tanner was about to reply to the new face, but, two balls of fur playfully pounced him. Ontario and Celestia had taken him by surprise. The three had been seperated since dumped onto the island. They were now together again, and were at a quick lose for words. Tanner though quickly regained his lose and looked to the Kitsu infront of them. "Oh, I am quite sorry. I am a little chilled, but I'm sorta okay," he noted this, and tried to break from the bundle of fur that kept him down. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Well of course 'ndia! Remy & Nari played lots o' times before they got their kits!" Chroma replied with a giggle, her deduction coming from the number of times Remus would return from visiting Nari's home (and a few times from their own library) with a relaxed glow about him. She nuzzled India. trying to get him on his back so she could run a paw down his belly. "I wanna make you glow!"((I see Tanner in your sig, but what're Ontario & Celstia?))That made Ginny laugh. "With little fluffs like that as companions I'm not surprised."
Then she tilted her head, as a thought struck her. "I was heading to the kitsu headquarters, not far from here. If you want, I could fix you up something to eat. If you're hungry." and if you eat more than raw apples... She thought disdainfully at an unpleasant memory. Mythic Foxers ((Look under Tanner. xD They're hyperlinked. ;P ))
All three of them were unbound at that moment, all standing neatly in a line.
"These two knuckleheads are a bundle of fun," Tanner replied, twitching his tails. "But, we'd love to, right guys?", he asked, eyeing the other two.
They both nodded. saedusk India coughed. Oh, that woud've been so funny... if it hadn't been so not funny. And yet, he obliged her silent request, laying fully back down and giving his belly up for a rub. He shivered lightly, nose scrunched in thought. What could he say to that? This was one of those times he wished Remus was here. He could get him out of this situation, more than likely. Though, it would still be temporary and he'd find himself right back in the same boat the next day. Oh love, what had he gotten himself into with this one? Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine such a life when he was a kit.
"S-soon... okay?" Just take the answer, just take it! his mind begged. He didn't have the constitution to handle this now. Or ever, really. What a day. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf ((aww! They're so cute!))"Great!" The redheaded kitsu fairly beamed. It had been a while since she had cooked at the kitsu HQ for someone that might actually appreciate her cooking. Those odd ramen dispensers she had met did not count.
Two-toned tails wagged happily behind her as she trotted towards the HQ. "It's not far this way. What kind of things do you like to eat?"
Then blinking, the kitsu female gave a sheepish smile. "I'm Ginny Weasley, by the way."((poor India... *pats* think of how much tougher it will be for him when Chroma is preggers! O_O))Rubbing his belly Chroma licked lightly at his neck with a pouting mew. "Always soon my India." One of her tails lightly stroked India's all black tail within their weave as if of its own accord. Resting her cheek to his Chroma spoke softly into India's printed ear.
"When will soon be now?" Bright baby blues peered imploringly at him, awaiting an answer. Mythic Foxers (( heart Thanks. x3 ))
They all replied in a way to be that they ate mostly anything.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Ginny," Tanner replied, nodding. "My name is Tanner"
"'Meh name's Ontario~"
"And I'm Celestia.."
They all nodded, and continued to follow. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Tanner, Ontario & Celestia?" Her mind was already whirling ahead for what to make as the HQ came into view. She hurried a little seeing the familiar building. "Are you siblings? Or just sudo-siblings?" Being in virtually 3 families herself if you counted being a Weasley as its own family with everything else that was hard to grasp as a kitsu, Ginny was always curious about family ties. Or maybe that was because most of Trelweny's family was. Curious, that is.((About what size would you say they are? Full grown kitsu are about the size of grown Golden retrievers (28inches at withers) with Ginny being a bit smaller than that. )) saedusk Another shiver rose from the base of his spine, his all black tail swishing with her tail's hold. If he didn't already know of her innocent nature, he would've sworn she was tempting him. "Soon will be now soon, I hope," he muttered almost inaudibly, though the sentence wasn't much different than the basic 'soon.' Ears slid back against his skull and amber eyes shut. Think of an excuse to change the subject, his mind called. But he couldn't think of one. A handful of jumbled excuses ran through his brain: hungry, wanna play a different game, tired; but none seemed good enough. They were all old and used. Mythic Foxers ((I guess..they'd be half the size. x3 Since..they're so cute. 8B ))
"Actually, we're friends," Tanner replied, nodding. "We all met up one day, and have been the best of friends since."
The other two agreed. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Chorma might not be tempting him... but her body certainly was trying to. "I hope so too..." She purred softly, setting her body lightly on top of his & snuggling close. Sure, she was innocent minded... but her body was a full grown adult with all that entailed. And she really did want to make India happy. She was not unintelligent, just blissfully naive on some things. Like making eggs or 'summoning bunnies' to get eggs. "Soon will be now very soon, I hope."
Chroma nuzzled him gently. "Is there anything I can do to hurry the soon along, 'ndia?""Friends are good to have." Ginny grinned at the 3 smaller creatures, very like kitsusagi with their three tails. Bumping open the door with her shoulder the witch kitsu inclined her head for the three to head on in. Her gaze caught sight of her 'sister' and her mate. "aw... c'mon guys, get a room."((*giggles* & now everyone's in the same room for a while! xp )) saedusk Wiggling slightly, India sighed. "Not that I know of..." he said quietly in responce to her question. While he obviously enjoyed snuggling with his mate on whatever occasion, he was all but ready to throw out one of his random excuses to get them off topic. That is, until he heard a voice. Amber eyes widened a bit and he manuvered his head to glance towards the door. Coughing slightly, he felt like a kit again as he mumbled a few incoherant words and looked as if he were attempting to hide behind Chroma. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf ((Not waiting for Mystic Foxers... sorry...
Theron's up, so I might be more sporadic.))Chroma looked up happily at her 'sister's' voice. "Ginny!! I was hoping you'd come by! How's that 'nana cream pie I asked you to make for 'ndia coming along?"Brown eyes rolled. "Should be done. Just setting in the 'fridge if no one's eaten it yet. I'll send it out to you." She smiled apologetically at her new friends as they passed the couple. "My sister of sorts, Chroma, & her mate India." saedusk At the shorted banana, India's ears perked. Banana? For him? Peeking up from behind Chroma, he eyed the one called Ginny. From experience, he knew all the things made for him by his mate's family were good. His tails began to wag gently, almost slipping from the tangle of his and hers. It'd been a while since he had anything banana related, too. Setting his chin on her shoulder, he tilted it against her neck. "Pie? For me?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Ginny chuckled with a nod while Chroma giggled, a pleased smile on her maw. "Of course for you, 'ndia! I know how much you like banana's & Ginny's been cooking so much I asked her if there were any banana pie recipes & she told me of this one."saedusk Like an excited kit, India nearly jumped up, nipping at Chroma's shoulder to get her up, too. He was lucky. A change of subject. And a rather good one, at that. Licking his maw, he grinned lightly at Ginny. "Well, thanks." He was all but ready to get in there and get the pie now. Stretching idly, he padded around his mate, still willing her to go with him. For once, he almost seemed more excited than she. His first banana treat in weeks. Wonderful. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf It was easy for Chroma to pick up on her mate's excitement & display it herself. She bounded up, happily bouncing in place to see India so energetic. Ginny having never seen such energy from India blinked a moment before shaking her head & leading everyone to the kitchen. "Really, it's nothing India. I'm always looking for things to try but I don't always like coming up with what. It's a pleasure to be able to make something someone will like." She snickered at the way the two were acting, deciding that if Chroma's mate liked banana's that much she would try to find other recipes with bananas in them. saedusk Grinning as his own excitement was easily overshadowed by Chroma's, he followed after Ginny. "If you say so," he shrugged lightly, though his two patterned tails were wagging out behind him. "I'll eat anything with bananas and I'm sure it'll be great." Glancing to his mate and then back to the redhead, he smiled. "And I'd be happy to share it, of course." He'd have to steal most of his for himself, first, but he'd be willing to share... a little... Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Chroma giggled. "I'll just get anything you get on your fur, 'ndia! I ate before I came!" "I'll be making other food too. 'Sides, the pies was made for you India. I can make some apple pie for the rest of us." Ginny smirked a little at the thought, thinking about someone that would very likely be displeased about such an act. Not that she deceived herself one wit by thinking he might be watching her. Still, she took some selfish little enjoyment in it. saedusk ((We're all in the kitchen now. :D))"Well, if you girls say so..." He wasn't complaining. Entering the kitchen, he winced at the lights. Bright, as always. Go figure. But, needless to say, they wouldn't chase him away when there was food, especially bananas, involved. "In the fridge, right?" Before even waiting for the answer, he padded off to the cooling-machine. Nosing at the handle, he was able to get it open after a little work. It'd been a while since he had to get something out of the fridge. His eyes went to work searching and it wasn't long before he saw something round, and semi-flat, and yellow. Must be it, his brain registered. Licking his maw again, he carefully grabbed the pie and manuvered it from the fridge. "Looks good..." Mythic Foxers
The three friends had devoured a whole watermelon themselves. The skin and seeds sat infront of them, as they lay on their stomach, smiling contentivly. Mythic Foxers They all then began to slide away from the remains of the watermelon. They were now sick of looking at it.
"I'm never...eating that much again..", Tanner groaned, hiccuping.
The others agreed and groaned. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Oh, it is good, 'ndia! I got to test the trial one a while back! Ginny's probably made 'em even better by now." At the stove Ginny rolled her brown eyes, wondering why she even bothered cooking anything. She put the pies into the oven anyway. At least India will like the bananas. I hope. Maybe Harry will come by later... "Would you guys like any bread to go with that? I think there's a loaf around somewhere that I baked only yesterday." Flicking her wand Ginny opened the bread door & pulled out a sliced loaf of bread with a smile. "oh good. Still here." Putting a thick slice in the toaster she got out a stick of butter. Mythic Foxers
The three Foxi's coward, in the middle of the floor. "Augh! Don't squish us!", they cried, too full to move. saedusk Pie in maw, India carefully manuvered around the little creatures in the middle of the floor. They'd been with Ginny, right? He'd never seen anything like them before, but two of them had three tails like a Kitsu, so they couldn't be so bad... Not that the male's logic was very good in that aspect. Setting the pie on the floor, he quickly took to eating. It didn't take long for his tails to wag in content. The pie was good. Very good! "You're a good cook, Ginny," he mumbled between moutfuls. And he found himself grinning up at Chroma, as well. "Thanks for asking Ginny to make this for me." Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Ginny was confused. "Who's going to squish you?" She asked the foxi's before smiling with pride at India's compliment. "Thank you India. I'm glad you like it."Grinning, Chroma licked at the corner of her mate's mouth where a tiny dab of cream had stuck. "You're Welcome, 'ndia! I like seeing you happy." Her tails wagged happily. Mythic Foxers "Whoever doesn't see us?", they whined, stretching out. "We're too full to move.."

New moms unite! page 3597MoochiLove Charna shoved the door open, grumbling to herself and occasionally hissing, her belly larger then normal, but that didn't help with her uncomfortable feeling of being poked inside her stomach. But she didn't mind the company, even if the new baby was loud.Gypsy pads in happily behind her sister, chirping up a song to sooth the grumpy Nitemare and to keep her babyboy from being too loud. She currently has him situated on her back, her wings folded up so he won't fall off, but he can still see everything around him.Hanzi chirps as well, sometimes letting out a very loud squawks as he beats his wings about, clinging to his mothers red fur. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Chroma was hitched up to a wagon. It could be removed by a latch in front of her chest by her if she wanted, but until she was inside headquarters the new mother did not want to. Bundled in blankets inside the small wagon was a single tan egg with yellow & gray swirls on which the new mother was constantly doting on. She would be doting on both eggs, but knew the other to be safely in India's care. "Hello! Anyone here?" Chroma called cheerfully. silent artist Setsumi perked her ears up at the approaching sounds. It sounded like a bird shop suddenly. She looked to the door to see two kitsus and a kit enter. One looked quite disgruntled, while another chirped happily.Uncurling his body, Ronan was roused from his sleep. He opened one, pupil-less eye, in the direction of the newcomers. MoochiLove Gypsy stops when she hears the voice and she smiles, chirping, "Hello!!" she calls, but folds her ears back when her son lets out a loud squawk and then says 'Hello' three times in rapid succession. But she smiles and chuckles, flicking her tails up to rub against his ears.Charna just huffs, taking in the scents with her tongue sicne she couldn't see and she flops down on her rump, deciding not to move anymore for the moment. silent artist Setsumi sat up on her haunches, not straining her sensitive tummy. Seemed everyone was having kits. Ronan kept an eye on Setsumi's movements. He had taken it upon himself to stay be her side in hopes to see the new generation. Her turned his attention to the fourth kitsu to come in, this one with a wagon in tow. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Gypsy!!!" Chroma exclaims happily, bounding towards her friend as quickly as her harness will permit her. "Oh!! You've a kit!!! Look! Look! India & I have eggs too!" She looked around, spotting, Setsumi, the other expectent mother. "oh!!! The kitsu egg bunny's been to see you too!" MoochiLove Gypsy chirps happily at seeing Chroma, but blinks when she mentions a bunny visiting. It certainly wasn't a bunny she had eggs with, since she wasn't familiar with easter. She lays her body down to and unfolds her spreads her wings on the ground to let Hanzi off.Hanzi wiggles his way to the closest wing and he rolls off, a blue, gold and green fluffball. He uncurls and blinks, letting out a chirp when he spots the purple female and he starts to crawl his way to her.Charna flicks her tongue about, deciding not to comment on the bunny thing, knowing she can't blame them for her grumpy attitude. silent artist Setsumi blinked her eyes a few times. The kitsu egg bunny? Never heard that expression before. "Yep, guess I've been visited as well. I'm expecting two. What about you?" She looks down to notice a little bundle of blue, yellow, and green making its way to her. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Giggling, Chroma leans her head down & unlatches her harness, wriggling out of it to bounce around to the wagon bed. With an odd delicate movement -for the overly spunky female- she nudges some of the blankets aside to show off her egg. "India's got the other one!!" Then she noticed the brooding nightmare, also seeming to be bigger in the belly. She tilted her head, confusion in her eyes as she tried to remember if she new her... "Charna too?" Chroma gave squeel of glee. "AearHwesta told me you hooked up with Remy's friend Kae'lic! 'grats!!" MoochiLove Charna growls when Kae is mentioned, "I'm gonna bite his ears off next time I see him!" she hisses, wanting to lay down, but that would make her even more uncomfortable.Gypsy pads over the wagon and sniffs at the egg, chirping softly, "Oh, congrats Chroma, it is beautiful!! This is my little boy, Hanzi!! Me and Al had 3 kits!" she turns her head and almost panics at not seeing Hanzi right away, but calms down when she sees he is near the purple female. She giggles at Charna and pads over to her, nudging the Nitemares shoulder gently, "Don't mind her too much, she is just grumpy because even though she is having three eggs, both have horns! So she is uncomfortable." she explains.Hanzi stops before the purple female and looks up at her. He then whistles and chirps, not knowing any words quite yet. silent artist Ronan watched as the other kitsus chatted together. He had never seen a nightmare kitsu before. And the term nightmare seemed fitting for how daunting they appeared. He looked back to Setsumi, and just then noticed the parrot-like kit next to her.Setsumi put her head down on her front paws, cooing at the young kit. To think she would have some as well. The thought made her all anxious! Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Oh!! Thanks!! The one with India has his black & my red, with a blue curl like mine!" Chroma hopped happily.
But she could not help it; her ears flattened & drooped she whined unhappily at the nightmare's growl. "But didn't you want eggs? Did you maybe play the glow-game & not want to summon for eggs?"
Having wanted both herself, the concept sat funny & foreign in her head. MoochiLove Charna flicks her tongue, slowly moving herself down so she can lay her lower half on her side, keeping her upper half propped up, glad she is more comfortable, "Of course I want them. I just don't like the fact I have horns poking me every few seconds when they move." she says, wincing and hissing when another poke is felt inside.Gypsy giggles at Chromas enthusiastic description of the other egg. She does keep her gold eyes on Hanzi, not wanting him out of her sight for a second.Hanzi rolls to his back and cooes at the female, wiggling his body about and spreading his wings on the floor. silent artist Setsumi wriggled her paw above the kit, letting it try and swipe at it. Such a playful little one! "Ronan, you have to see this litle cutie!"He perked his ears at the thought. Then again, he wasn't much the kit type. "I'm content where I am thank you." Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "Hmm.. that could hurt. Ya' know, when Trel had Theron he didn't have an egg! All arms & legs & wriggling around inside!" Bright blue eyes were wide at the thought once again, understanding but not being able to relate. "Trel says he would use her bladder as a trampoline! I've seen Theron on his Jump'o'leen... I wouldn't want anyone using any part of my body from the inside like that!"
"Of course, he was a lot smaller than, Trel says. I never saw him that small. But could you imagine two roaming around inside like that?" She inclined her head at Gypsy. "Or three? Or even four like Nari & Remy had?" She gave a little whimper, her eyes wide as saucers having grown with each rise in count. MoochiLove "Believe me, I am happy to just have two..." she says, wincing again, hoping she would give birth soon, but knowing there would probably be alot of screaming on her part when she gave birth.Gypsy giggles, "Carrying my eggs wasn't too bad, sometimes they moved, but I liked it!! But watching them hatch was amazing!" she chirps.Hanzi tries to grab her paw to gnaw at it, but he pauses when he sees the colorful male and he rolls to his stomach. Then he crawls toward the male, letting out a squawk. silent artist Ronan widened his eyes as the kit focused on him. "Why me?" He tried to hide back his blush as the kit crawled toward him, knowing Setsumi was having a few giggles.Setsumi tilted her head in amusement as Ronan tried to kindly avoid the kit. She could'nt help but giggle as the kit squawked, and Ronan held a puzzled look. Oh well, the battle-worn kitsu needed this interaction in order to lighten up.(just think of Ronan as Diego on Ice Age ^_^) BlackPidgeot (( I think I shall have to use Edward... he hasn't met any other kits yet. X3 )) There was a lot on the little Kitsu's mind as he wandered about the place, looking for others. His father was hurt, and resting up... so Edward thought it best to leave him alone for now. Yet... he still had to be careful, cause that really angry Kitsusagi is still loose somewhere. Quietly, the little winged one wandered into an area where there seemed to be a gathering.
It was then that he noticed the Kitsu from the other day, of whom he didn't know her name. That would be Setsumi, and Edward bravely padded towards her. "Hey um..." he spoke up, hoping to get her attention, "Thanks... for helping my dad the other day."silent artist Setsumi blinked and looked down to the new voice. It sounded familiar, and she recognized the kit immediately when she spotted him. "Oh, it's you! Are you ok? What about your father?" Her mind raced with the event that happened the other day, making her stomach upset. She tried to calm down taking a few deep breaths. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf "I wouldn't 'ave minded more, but two's good to start!" Chroma grinned happily, not realizing how short & easy her pregnancy & labor had been. "And we can always try for more once these grow up! Remy says someone named Severus has loads of kits & India comes from a huge family & I bet Keiki would like for us to make her an aunt over & over &..." She paused, blinking, having lost her train of thought before catching a new one.
"Ooo!! I bet watching them hatch is so great I hope India & I can be together for when they do!" soft purr started as Chroma thought of her mate. "So how're your mates taking being daddies?"
She tilts her head curiously at the new kit wandering in alone to speak to Setsumi, wondering why he wore clothes like Remus & Ginny did -and curious about them being different. But then, Remy's Nari wears clothes too, & she's no wizard! 'cept in the kitchen! Chroma giggled at her own thought, which was quickly followed by plans to ask Trel or Ginny to backe more banana bread for India sometime soon. MoochiLove Hanzi makes an attempt to stand up so he can try to nibble on Ronans tail, but his wings flap about, causing his balance to go off and he falls, landing on one of her wings and he yelps and cries for his mom, sounding more like a screech.Gypsy is immediately at her sons side and she gently hauls him up, laying down and cuddling him in her front paws, licking his head gently to calm him down, glad his loud noises switched quickly to cooing and chirping."Well, these two will be my first and last." Charna says, laying her front half down fully. silent artist Ronan flustered at the sudden fall and screech of the kit. The winged mother had, thankfully, come to the rescue though. He looked over to see Setsumi talking to another kit. Except this kit wore metal, and Setsumi's expression was serious. BlackPidgeot The kit laughed a little, "My name is Edward." Indeed.. the two hadn't really introduced themselves to each other yet. Briefly, he was distracted by the yelp of another kit. Edward looking that way with a bit of interest. He's never seen any others his age before.. he's only met adults. However, looking back to Setsumi, the young one looked a bit perturbed. "He's badly hurt..." was the confession, and it was no secret that Edward was worried about Roy, among other things. silent artist Setsumi blinked, before realizing that they hadn't exchanged names yet. "Oh, sorry. My name is Setsumi." She was so caught up in actually seeing the kit alright to realize this. "And your father, where is he now? He hasn't healed over yet?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Chroma glanced with worry automatically at the sound of the paniced kit but quickly relaxed at Gypsy's swift intervention. Hoping that Hanzi was all right she continued to speak with Charna. She made a small mew of sadness, at first wondering if the nightmare's pregnancy was turning her off of kits. But then she remembered something Aear & Remus had been discussing -one of the many times the wizard tried to call the sailor to reign about his filandering. "Oh... that's right.... Nightmares and Angelics only get one breeding..." A soft pout of sympathy filled her face and Chroma suddenly felt quite guilty for talking about having many litters when the lightening female nightmate could have only one. MoochiLove Charna smiles a bit, glad the shifting eggs had stopped for a moment, "Do not be sad, I don't mind. Even though I can only have children once, I am happy to have them at all. It is uncomfortable with the horns, but it will be worth it when I lay them."Gypsy cooes at her baby and looks up at the male, "I'm sorry about that, he just hatched yesterday, he is still getting used to the world around him!" she chirps out, still keeping Hanzi tucked close to her chest. silent artist Ronan just nodded his head. "He was no trouble at all. He moves quite fast for being one day old." He watched as the kit calmed down in its mothers arms. BlackPidgeot Setsumi.. now Edward had a name to put to a face. He didn't have to call her 'Hey you' or anything. The kit sat, the quiet grinding of metal joints floating through the air as he did so. He turned to look out the door, "No... he's resting in one of the rooms. I've been bringing him food though." That's all that the kit can really do for him. He knows nothing of healing wounds.
Again, Edward sparred a curious glance in the direction of the newborn kit, but decided to stay where he was. Seeing the youngster curled up with his mother brought a pained expression to his eyes. He had no mother, after all. silent artist Setsumi caught the solemn look in the kits eyes. Was it of his father, or something else? She pondered asking him about it, her emotions kicking in with having her own kits soon, but didn't want to pester him if he didn't wish to speak. Besides, he was intelligent for his age. "Is there something else? Edward?" Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Her ears flick back lightly, surprised at the nightmare's smile & the almost sweetness to her words. "Really? I'm glad!" ((meh, sorry. blanked on a response there. sweatdrop )) BlackPidgeot Edward glanced at Setsumi before flashing her a bright grin, "No no, there was nothing else" he assured her. "Thanks again, for your help." The little kit then got up and started to pad to another end of the room. He didn't need to bother anyone else with his problems, and they were sure adding up quickly.
Flopping himself down in a corner, Edward's thoughts turning to his recent dreams, of which his father said were memories from another life. Memories of a mother and a brother. With a sigh, the kit rests his head on his forepaws. This world was lonely... he would like to have a brother right now. MoochiLove Charna nods her head in thanks, "So, what do you think you will have? Boys, girls or both?" she asks, curious on the thoughts of the other female.Gypsy chirps and smiles, "Apparantly I was the same way when I was a baby! Loud and always on the move!" she says, licking her dozing sons ear. silent artist Setsumi sighed to herself, she knew the kit was still harboring secrets. But like she said, she wasn't going to pester him about them. She stood up, staying motionless for a while, then followed to where Edward laid. "Hey, Ed. Just so you know, if you ever need anything let me know. Okay?" She patted the kit with her paw, then walked back to Ronan.Ronan watched in awe at the similiarities between the mother and son. Perhaps it was a winged-kitsu thing? To be that energetic and colorful. BlackPidgeot Edward's ears perked and his golden gaze inclined as Setsumi came up to him again. However, he looked down again as she patted his metal paw. The kit surprised at the words that came from her, and yet.. he was very grateful. "Thanks" he said softly, a smile coming to his muzzle. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Chroma blinked at the question, pausing to lightly nuzzle her egg as she thought about it. "I... really don't know. Remy & his Nari only got one boy out of their four. If it was even, you'd think there would have been two of each!" She laughed brightly, glancing at first Charna & then Gypsy with her son. A warm feeling filled her at the sight. "I don't know if it matters. I'll love them, no matter what!" There was a definate enthusiasm to her claim, as Chroma nodded her head emphatically with her point. "Remy loves all his kits the same, even if he doesn't get to see all of them all the time as he'd like."((*goes into snicker-fits at Chroma still insisting on calling Remus Remy... and him not here to defend himself*)) MoochiLove Charna smiled and purred a bit, wincing a bit when one of her eggs shifts about a little bit. "That is always good. I don't have a preference, as long as I can give a proper birth, I will be happy." she says, flicking her tongue about, suddenly missing her mate.Gypsy shifts about to tuck her head under her napping son and she gently slides him above her head, down her neck and folds her wings up so he is settled on her back. Trelweny RosePhoenixWolf Chroma nods, surprisingly thoughtful. Perhaps motherhood has calmed her down. "Yup!! Happiness is good!!"
Or not.
