10th Inversion - Video/Action

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Forward-dated to after dark.]

--kidding? It's been a year and that woman--

[There's a seething hiss then, the Vine opening the mirror after the sun has set, and the profile of a familiar young woman with long dark hair can been seen in the shadows, the moonlight reflecting off of the white shift she's wearing.

Akiha tilts her head back, turning it up toward the sky, and closes her eyes. She counts to ten, calming her temper. Reaching up to tuck some hair behind her ear, a gold bangle on her wrist, she lets out a slow breath before looking around for her clothes. A cat skitters away as Akiha turns from the mirror muttering.]

Bring me back-- Don't even know if that idiot and brute are still here-- Ridiculous.

If the mansion isn't still here, I'm going to...

[Her voice trails off as she finds her clothes and walks out of view of the Vine, not even realizing it had been on. The Vine and Akiha still don't get along.]


[Eventually, Akiha finds the mansion, glad to see it's intact. She heads inside and immediately goes upstairs to her bedroom. Better catch her before the door is closed or she won't be seen until morning.]

[ooc: Akiha is back from her canon update.]

Comments

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Akiha? [ No, of course it is. Who else would it be? Things have been quiet since the party — too quiet, almost — and then there was Kris' broadcast which set Subaru to patrolling the outer edges as close to the Wild Places as she could manage.

But here she is over the Vine, now, and Subaru looks rather relieved. ] Akiha!

[ritsu_kouyou]

[A rustle of the bushes visible on the Vine and Akiha's head pops back into view as she's buttoning the last bit of her blouse up.]

...Subaru?

[Yeah, she's thinking Subaru is nearby and not on the Vine.]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Yep! [ Waving to the mirror. ] Over here!

[ported]

[And guess who is sleeping in Akiha's bed. Kris is wrapped up in Akiha's blankets and has generally made a mess of her bed but the rest of the room is untouched.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha had been expecting Kris to pounce her the moment she found out the magician was still on the island. It had been weird for her not to, and she'd been a little worried what the woman had gotten herself into while Akiha was gone.

...but she'd deal with it in the morning.

So, in her room, she changed into just a tank top and her panties as it was too hot for her normal bedclothes. She then glanced over as she went to take the etherlite bracelet off to find her bed a mess.]

Tch.

[And Kris inside it. Walking over, Akiha sat down on the bed next to the sleeping woman. Her hand brushed blonde hair back from Kris' face.]

...whatever am I going to do with you?

[ported]

[That was Akiha's voice. Even though she's sleeping, even lightly, a smile crosses her face and she mumbles a bit. Instant good dreams.

She ended up reaching up to brush away whatever was fiddling with her hair and made contact with Akiha's hand, which caused her eyes to open and peer up at Akiha.]

[fionna_time]

Oh cool, you're back!


Kris wouldn't believe us when we said you were gone...

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Now clothed, Akiha glances at the mirror. It seems to take her a moment to place Fionna.]

...still wearing that hat. Tch.

Is that idiot magician of mine still here? It's been a while.

[fionna_time]

[pouts] My hat is awesome.

Yeah, Kris has been looking for ya the past few days! I helped her sine she wouldn't believe you went back and junk.

[snowknife]

Kris was looking for you.

[ritsu_kouyou]

So I've heard.

[Akiha tosses her hair behind her shoulder.]

I don't know you. I'm Tohno Akiha. And what is your association with my magician?

[snowknife]

I am the Republic of Belarus. I have talked to her when I first arrived and when she was in a panic over you disappearing.

[action]

[cobbledtogether]

[Catching Akiha before she gets to her room is no trouble for Lambda. She saw Akiha on the Vine, so when she arrives at the mansion, Lambda is all but waiting at the door like a loyal dog.]

Akiha-sama.

[It's not much different than her normal greeting, but this one sounds a little more emphatic than usual.]

[action]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[You know that weird way Akiha's reading tends to fluctuate between human and 'something else'? Yeah, it's stable as 'half-demon' now.]

Hello, Lambda. I'm sorry I left the Gardens. It was not my choice.

[cobbledtogether]

I understand. Gal recently experienced a similar phenomenon. [...] Are you well?

[drinkswithminors]

... I'll wait until you're in a better mood to talk.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha tucks her hair behind an ear and gives Akira a mildly confused look.]

Talk about what?

video - next morning

[grandtheftmecha]

Akiha! Hey!

[ Of fucking course she comes back after Katina's gone to sleep, leaving a message like that when she does so. ]

The brute's still here. What's this about a year?

video - next morning

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha answers this from her vanity, brushing her hair out. She seems a bit more relaxed than Katina remembers...]

That's how long I was in Misaki City. Did you miss me?

[video]

[hopelessdreamer]

[there's a lot of things she could say, and she considers a few of them before just settling on]

You're late.

[video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Late?! A Tohno is never late. We always arrive exactly at the right time.

Action

[nekomikoreimu]

[At the front door of the mansion, Reimu is standing there. She doesn't look too pleased]

Yes, the brute and/or idiot is still here.

Action

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha furrows her brow as she sees the shrine maiden at her mansion.]

...why are you here? Please step aside.

[headlessfoal]

[Oh hey look who it is. Vivi has thoroughly ignored all of Akiha's muttering and skipped straight to,]

Hi, Strawberry! Where'd you pick up that bracelet? Looks swanky.

video;

[ritsu_kouyou]

[It's been a year. Akiha... doesn't remember Vivi and the name thing.]

...that's not my name. And the bracelet was a gift.

Who are you?
