Catchall for late July

[byanyother_name]

July 15-21, outside station

[It's a little over a week before Kurama manages to get his sleep patterns straightened back out enough to start doing things outside his normal routine. But once he does, he can be found in some of the popular fighting practice locations, looking a little different than usual. The clothes at least are just clothes; a close-fitting, sleeveless black top and pants, with long silver gloves and tall boots to match, a belt of pouches around his waist.

But his hair, while in the same style, is now Youko silver, and he has Youko's ears and tail.

Sometimes a black fox mask covers half his face, but more often than not it is absent, and a tall, androgynous figure is present, wreathed in blue flames. Inari's nine brilliantly white tails and flowing red robes stand out as the Persona leans over its summoner.

Sometimes, this ends in an explosion of white light, other times in more subtle effects. At least once, it ends with...a boxing glove on a spring, basically?]

Really? That's Miracle Punch?

[Inari just laughs.]



July 19th, day

[Kurama studying is becoming an increasingly more common sight since Incendia. He picked up a number of books on 'DIY magic items' in the city and he's working diligently at learning the basic principles. Today he has an actual stack in front of him, a couple of the books open as he cross-references something.

Once he finds everything he wanted in one of the books, he closes it and moves to put it away, hand reaching towards his hair...

Only for the book to disappear in a sparkle of green instead. The color is off, but the effect itself is entirely familiar to anyone that's seen an Armiger in action.]

What-...?


July 19th, evening; closed to founderinglight

[Sorry about the noise, Izunia, but you have a little brother banging on your door? Kurama looks...slightly ruffled when the door opens. He takes a lot of things in stride, but this he wasn't expecting. He knows the Fissures can do some very strange things, but still...

He doesn't take any time getting to the point. A book appears in his hand in a sparkle of green, and Kurama brandishes it at Izunia pointedly.]

I thought you said this was bloodline!



Wildcard; any July or even early August if you want

[Kurama also settles, mostly, back into his usual schedule again. He can be easily found in places like the garden level, looking after the plants there, the kitchens, where he usually makes sure to have more food than he actually needs, studying in the library, or out at the sakura grove.]

I agreed to it, but I didn't get the fine print. Kyubey doesn't tell potential Magical Girls any of the bad stuff unless they ask, and you can probably guess how many think to.

[byanyother_name]

Given your age, I can, yes. And those tactics sound uncomfortably familiar. Has anyone dealt with this 'Kyubey' yet?

[redmeguca]

Heh, I couldn't count how many have tried. You destroy Kyubey's body, he just shows back up in one of his spares. If nobody's managed to get rid of him for good in all of human history, I doubt it's gonna happen any time soon.

[So what he is hearing here is that if he ever encounters Kyubey, go for the soul.]

So most likely either the right powerset hasn't appeared, or he's been careful not to cross the wrong lines with anyone that developed it. He sounds like a vile creature.

[redmeguca]

Eh, more terrible than vile. He literally doesn't have emotions, he just does whatever the most "logical" option is. He wouldn't understand what he did wrong if you explained it to him.
