Sep 17 21:27:45 <Kioku>	Atop the dorm roof sits a girl who's been spending /way/ too much time between getting ahead on homework and flirting about the courtyard to draw people to the shrine for the last few weeks.  It's almost as though she hasn't had /meaningful/ conversations besides her dates with Claire and late talks with Wendy, lately!  Well for the moment, she finally does need just a short break from keeping herself visible.  It's not like she's an
Sep 17 21:27:45 <Kioku>	unknown in the slightest among the students by now, after all.  Amusingly though, the rail on the edge of the roof always seems to /not/ draw the eyes below.  It's one of her rare places of mild seclusion, and it's where she now sits.
Sep 17 21:31:07 <Knave>	From the way he enters you can probably guess Austin thought there wasn't going to be anyone on the roof - the door bursts open and he leaps through, stick in his leading hand thrusting forward. From what he does next, you can imagine that the specific person he sees has given him something of a fright, as his feet slip this way and that across the floor and the stick slips from his grasp with a cry of "BAH!" -
Sep 17 21:31:07 <Knave>	in short order, he is splayed flat-out on the roof looking with fear at the fox girl.
Sep 17 21:32:40 <Knave>	(retcon retcon knave is a moron)
Sep 17 21:34:27 <Knave>	(first sentence remains valid) Upon seeing another person on the roof, he tries mid-leap to act casual, and his back foot comes out under him and he falls rockily on his ass. "Ouchies."
Sep 17 21:36:04 <Kioku>	Akemi turns to look over her shoulder, blinking widely and tilting her head.  Something subtly shifts about the way she holds herself and she gives a confused and intrigued "hmm?"
Sep 17 21:36:48 <Knave>	"Hey." Austin says casually, without moving from his position on the floor, looking blankly at the sky, "Nice day we're having."

Sep 17 21:38:39 <Kioku>	Akemi smiles slightly.  "It is, isn't it?"  She swings her legs around like a gymnast to face inward toward the roof instead of toward the courtyard below.  "Is that what brings you up here?"
Sep 17 21:39:40 <Knave>	"Um, actually," Austin looks askance to the stick still in his hand, and realises that he does not, at this moment, want to tell a pretty girl that he came up here to pretend a stick was a sword, "Yes, yes it is."
Sep 17 21:44:25 <Kioku>	Akemi follows his gaze and giggles.  "Most people wander a bit closer to the ground for that, but I can see the appeal."  \The appeal of heights and the appeal of the relative seclusion, if that stick says anything.\
Sep 17 21:46:35 <Knave>	Austin stands up, using the stick for support, "I'm uh, Austin, by the way. Hi." He offers a hand.
Sep 17 21:48:06 <Kioku>	Akemi hops down off the rail, leans in, and takes the hand with a wider smile.  "Akemi.  Hi, yourself!"  She'll make the handshake last just a little longer than 'usual' if she can, but certainly not to the point of awkwardness.
Sep 17 21:49:40 <Knave>	Austin turns his gaze to the handshake just as Akemi breaks it off, and after a moment of bodily confusion he pulls the hand back and runs it through his hair. "So, are you just here to, uh... enjoy the day?"

Sep 17 21:53:33 <Kioku>	"Mm, I've just been so busy lately, so I'm enjoying a bit of time out of the crowds, you know?  Not that I mind a bit of company, it's not like one person is going to surround me."  Akemi winks and slips away back to the rail, to put one foot on the lower portion and hand on the upper, and hang at an angle inward from it.
Sep 17 21:58:20 <Knave>	While he awkwardly follows Akemi towards the edge, nonchalantly holding his stick down low, his thing /"Boy, what's with all the pretty girls in this school? Have I met a girl who wasn't adorable? There was Sam but even she had a lot going for her. I wonder if having powers makes you predisposed to being attractive. And half of them are so flirty! That fairy was down my throat. Why'd I say no to that? Hermione.
Sep 17 21:58:20 <Knave>	Yes. Duty. Yes. God that fairy was hot. This girl's hot. I wonder if she's human. If not, is she automatically inhumanly attractive? Am I attractive? I haven't been paying attention to the dudes, maybe they make me look terrible by comparison. Oh shit she's looking at me - how long has she been looking at me? Do I say something? Say something"/ "Uh, yeah."
Sep 17 22:02:17 <Kioku>	Akemi flicks one eyebrow up, amused and secretly pleased with his apparent distraction, hoping she's the cause of it.  It's a very common reaction, so she's learned to appreciate it, rather than be bothered by it.  "So what about you?  What /really/ brings you up here?" she fishes.  \At worst, he'll just consider it teasing or think I mean to ask why up here instead of out there.  At best, maybe he had another motive and will
Sep 17 22:02:17 <Kioku>	accidentally reveal it~\
Sep 17 22:05:49 <Knave>	"Uh, well I-" Well now he can't say he really did come up for the weather, "I came to..." His eyes drift to the stick, like a moron, and he quickly looks away, "Practise my..." Dancing. Poetry. Latin verbs. "Sword... fighting." Austin winces. /"That was a trainwreck from start to finish."/ "I, uh, haven't bought a sword, yet. I got a stick."
Sep 17 22:12:54 <Kioku>	Akemi hums and nods, smile still painting her features.  It's always wonderfully fun to see what people will be willing to tell her~  "Alone?"  \I suppose I do practice alone too, though I haven't used a sword.\
Sep 17 22:13:48 <Knave>	"I'm still new," Austin rubs the back of his neck, "So I just came to, like, practise stances and forms and stuff. Get used to the weight."
Sep 17 22:18:40 <Kioku>	"So you already know the forms and stances?  No instructor or book to practice with?"  Akemi hops down and seems genuinely interested.  "Won't it be hard to get used to the weight with... well... it seems like the stick would be a lot lighter..."  She shifts her hips and affects an uncertain expression.  It's an act, barely, but one she's been working on.  Sometimes acting like this is the best way to get close, after all, rather than
Sep 17 22:18:40 <Kioku>	being outgoing.

Sep 17 22:20:24 <Knave>	"Well, uh, Damien - The Guy in the Black Hoodie - he taught me some basics to work on until the next time we train, and I figure until I figure out where I'm gonna get a sword, any weight is better than none." Austin inspects the stick in front of his face, "It's the right size at least. Even has a little grossguardy nub."
Sep 17 22:25:43 <Kioku>	Akemi hums again.  "I know someone who's really knowledgable about weapons.  She'd probably know where to get you something, and help you find a good fit... I haven't met Damien, I think.  Maybe you'd let me come and watch a training session some time~?"
Sep 17 22:26:59 <Knave>	"Uh, sure, yeah." Austin's cheeks flush pink. As if Conn's excitement wasn't enough, people are taking his hour or so of swordplay training very seriously.
Sep 17 22:28:19 <Kioku>	"It'll be a good time for me to practice, anyway," Akemi muses.  "Or maybe hang out on the rings again.  I need more excuses to go to the gym sometimes, it's just no fun alone!"
Sep 17 22:30:13 <Knave>	"What do you need to practise?" Austin asks, his voice solidifying into his usual relaxed mellow, now that it's becoming a conversation and he's slightly over the fact he's near a cute girl

"If I had a partner for it, there are other things too, I guess."  \As it is, it's pretty hand to find someone willing to practice together, do so for a few hours, then find someone else to practice against a lot of different combat styles.  Too bad I'm not that good, but it's a nice way to spend time with some people~\
Sep 17 22:39:13 <Knave>	"A partner?" /'Don't you do it motherfucker'/ "I could give you a hand, if you need. I don't have a lot going on, really." /'Goddamnit motherfucker American History ain't gonna learn itself, you are leaving no time for lounging.'/
Sep 17 22:43:32 <Kioku>	"Oh?"  Akemi grins and bounces in place a couple of times.  "I wouldn't mind.  Do you think we'll need to have a healer on standby once you get a proper sword?"

Sep 17 22:48:51 <Knave>	Austin shrugs, and gestures with one upturned palm, "Well, some people have decidedly lethal powers, so..." He tilts his head, "Plus, I guess working the fundamentals is just as important as fancy tricks."

Sep 17 22:57:33 <WyrmKnave>	"Well, I've only been on the one. I got shot, then I tried tackling this demon fox-chick and it didn't pan out, so, I figured learning what to do in a fight might not be the worst idea in the world." Austin says absently.
Sep 17 22:58:28 <Kioku>	Akemi's eyebrows both raise, and she starts giggling, putting a hand on Austin's arm to keep stable.  Well.  Maybe to keep stable.  Maybe to distract him.
Sep 17 22:59:51 <WyrmKnave>	Austin looks nervously from Akemi's giggling face to the hand on his arm, "Um, what's funny? Did I say something dumb?" He knits his eyebrows in consternation, "I got shot..."
Sep 17 23:00:23 <Kioku>	Akemi stops giggling, and her eyes widen.  "Did you?"  She squeezes his arm slightly in concern.
Sep 17 23:02:14 <WyrmKnave>	"Yeah I think I mentioned." He points to his gut, "Right there. I'm fine but it hurt." Austin really isn't sure what words are appropriate in this situation.

Sep 17 23:04:41 <Kioku>	"Sorry, I must have missed it.  Fixated a bit on something else you said..."  Akemi glances at where he points.  "I've been shot a few times too... I know it's unpleasant."
Sep 17 23:05:33 <WyrmKnave>	"What was it I said that was funny?" Austin asks with mounting confusion
Sep 17 23:08:32 <Kioku>	Akemi sways in place, then giggles again and winks, but the giggle seems to echo slightly and take on an ethereal quality.  Nine white fox tails fade into view behind her, as do a second pair of ears atop her head.  The tails move naturally, swishing and flicking, and the smile comes back, alluring and just the slightest bit frightfully exciting.  Her presence washes out, like something was constrained before and is only now released and
Sep 17 23:08:32 <Kioku>	allowed to be shown.
Sep 17 23:11:31 <WyrmKnave>	Austin moves onto the backfoot and turns white, staring from tails to ears to face to tails to breasts to tails to ears to tails. He stammers "D-d-d-d...", then clears his throat and says in a throttled voice, "Don't eat me please."
Sep 17 23:20:53 <Kioku>	Akemi takes a step forward, running her hand up Austin's arm to his shoulder and tilting her head.  "Now why would I eat you~?"  \Seems he has certain expectations.  Might as well tease him with them for a bit~\
Sep 17 23:24:51 <WyrmKnave>	"No, hey, nope, nuh-uh," He says as he slips out of her grasp and puts up a finger between them, "Just slipped out. Fox chick was like the embodiment of Hunger or some shit, just- look, shit was intense. We good?" He finishes with an emphatic bob of the head.
Sep 17 23:31:38 <Kioku>	"No need to be nervous," Akemi pouts.  "Just relax~  I'm sure we're nothing alike..."  Of course they're nothing alike!  Embodiment of hunger one one side; most beautiful girl in the school, additionally letting an aura that makes her seem trustworthy and encourages attraction, on the other side.  Couldn't be more different.  Right?
Sep 17 23:35:33 <WyrmKnave>	Austin looks Akemi up and down with fading distrust, "Yeah just... don't mess, okay?" Austin wonders, vaguely, why he's not more angry about the girl who just brought out her fox tails right after he mentioned the fox demon he had an altercation with. It's probably something to do with how hot she is.
Sep 17 23:40:08 <Kioku>	\Don't... mess?  What's that supposed to mean?\  Akemi hops up onto the rail to sit again, swinging her legs gently, and one tail flicks over to poke Austin lightly.  It feels totally real, in any case...  "Don't worry~  I've been here for months without eating anyone.  Why would I want to eat someone, anyway?"
Sep 17 23:42:03 <WyrmKnave>	"I didn't think you were gonna eat me, just, like- The demon chick left an impression, okay?" Austin wants to keep up the anger, but he can't help joking, "Between her and the dude who shot me in the gut, let's just say that mission ruined a whole outfit."
Sep 17 23:42:54 <Kioku>	"Well, I'll have to leave a better impression to replace it!  Or at least help you get over that one.  Do you still have the outfit?  I sew, I might be able to fix it."
Sep 17 23:44:49 <WyrmKnave>	"I, uh, no, it's fine." /"Don't say it she doesn't need to know shut the fuck-"/ "It was really more of a staining issue." /"Oh for pete's sake."/

Sep 17 23:53:50 <Kioku>	Akemi tilts her head, but doesn't ask for elaboration.  She pats the railing next to her.  "Well I'll make sure to cause less negative issues, alright?  Don't worry, I'm safe company to keep!"
Sep 17 23:54:37 <WyrmKnave>	"I'm sure you're utterly delightful." Austin deadpans, leaning on the railing and looking out over campus.

Sep 18 00:01:47 <Kioku>	Akemi hums and shrugs.  "Most people seem to think so.  Is it still bothering you?  Knowing I'm like this?"
Sep 18 00:03:30 <WyrmKnave>	"No, it's fine, it was just a shock." Austin folds his arms for maximum casual lean, "So, do they do anything, or do you just have those?"
Sep 18 00:05:42 <Kioku>	Aiko turns to face Austin.  "How do you mean?"  One tail brushes against the boy's ear, and another goes to rest atop his crossed arms.  It's clear enough that she can control them independently, at least, unless this is just some outward expression of how she's feeling.  Honestly, both are plausible.
Sep 18 00:06:50 <WyrmKnave>	"I mean, like," Austin looks sidelong at the moving tails, shifting uncomfortably, "Do you have, like, powers, or just tails?"
Sep 18 00:09:34 <Kioku>	"I do, but they're unrelated to each other.  Those are just part of my... physiology, I guess you could say.  Also;"  the tail by Austin's ear passes /through his head,/ leaving a pleasant tingling sensation behind.  "They aren't exactly physical.  Any pressure from them is an illusion.  They feel 'real' enough to trick you into not trying to push your hand through one, or to make your body believe it's in contact, but really, you can go
Sep 18 00:09:35 <Kioku>	right through them."
Sep 18 00:11:06 <WyrmKnave>	"Huh. That's weird." Austin shuffles away, along the railing, just an inch or two. He doesn't want to be rude, but he also doesn't want to keep getting felt up by tails.
Sep 18 00:15:49 <Kioku>	Akemi withdraws said appendages and smiles apologetically.  "Sorry for causing you a shock, this way.  I just felt it would be easier to show you why I was laughing, than to just tell."  She takes a breath, and the phantom parts fade away, her Presence partly going along with them, but being suppressed far, far slower and more gradually to avoid causing a 'crash' in case it's already given a 'high.'
Sep 18 00:16:47 <WyrmKnave>	"Easier for you, yeah. Not exactly easy on my blood pressure, but you couldn't have known I'd react like that." Austin shrugs.
Sep 18 00:27:38 <Kioku>	\Could've been worse.\  Akemi keeps the evil smirk that accompanies her thought off of her face, and instead presents a guilty fascade.  "I'll make it up to you.  Follow?"  She hops down and takes a step toward the door, holding out her hand.
Sep 18 00:28:18 <WyrmKnave>	"Uh, sure?" Austin picks up his stick and follows after the fox girl, a slightly puzzled look on his face.
Sep 18 00:29:37 <Kioku>	Akemi's movement can only be described as 'flowing' or 'gliding' as she crosses the roof to open the door, and begins to descend the stairs.  "I have something that might help, if something like that happens again.  An apology to your blood pressure, if you like."
Sep 18 00:30:16 <WyrmKnave>	"Uh huh..." Austin says with uncertainty, worrying that he's accidentally gotten into a drug deal or something.
Sep 18 00:32:19 <Kioku>	Tasting the feeling, Akemi glances over her shoulder with a reassuring, soft expression.  "Don't worry.  You can trust me, I wouldn't do something to harm a friend~"
Sep 18 00:33:13 <WyrmKnave>	"Uh huh..." This is maybe 30% less hesitant than the last one.
Sep 18 00:36:38 <Kioku>	They reach the second floor shortly, and Akemi heads for a room, pulling out a key to unlock the door.  "Just a few seconds."
Sep 18 00:37:54 <WyrmKnave>	Austin gives an "ok" gesture with his free hand and stands awkwardly in the hallways, holding his stick resting on his shoulder.
Sep 18 00:39:55 <Kioku>	Akemi returns mere moments later, holding a near-cylinder, about 6 inches long, made entirely of crystal.  Actually, it resembles rock candy, and has a tiny length of string protruding from one end that reinforces the look.  "Here.  My way of saying, 'I hope you don't have to face such worries again.'"

Sep 18 00:54:15 <Kioku>	"Hopefully it'll prevent the next heart attack!"  Akemi bumps an elbow against Austin's arm playfully.  "Let me know about the sword training thing, alright?"
