[Action] Back From the Cleaners

[koishi_komeiji]

Who: Koishi and YOU
Where: Anywhere, really.
When: Early November
What: Koishi is going around in her kamui now that it's been fixed and not insane anymore
Warnings: Possible references to the kamui event 6 months or so back where things got extremely violent and some people got eaten.

It wasn't usual for Koishi to be patrolling around. Almost always in the uniform that Satsuki had given her several years ago. She would visit each city (including Nova) occasionally stopping petty crimes and reporting anything usual back to Satsuki, using her unseen nature to her advantage.

Today was a little bit different though. Instead of the usual white and black uniform, Koishi was wearing something distinctly different. A little rough and beat up, it looked almost like a dress uniform someone from the airforce would wear. Almost. It was mostly white and black with heavy blue accents and some not-so-heavy green ones. Tucked under the collar and around her neck was a decorative scarf with a pair of eyes. Only one was open, the blind surface occasionally shifting toward sounds in the environment.

This was undoubtedly the kamui that had caused so much trouble a few months ago now being worn and apparently completely docile. Though, from time to time, Koishi could be seen placing her hand on the scarf or touching the decorative metal clips that served as the kamui's activator on the left forearm.

Other than that it is business as usual. Be prepared to get cheerfully greeted or pulled into an enthusiastic conversation.

[Koishi isn't the only one wandering. If that satori youkai happens to be wandering close to the woods in Fayren, she might start hearing odd sounds here and there. A bark here, a howl there. Maybe even notes from a tin whistle and childish giggling.

The sounds appear to be coming from specific directions, most of them coming from further into the woods. It only matters more that there is indeed someone else hiding around. And the latest rounds of sounds seem to be coming from that bush over there, just to Koishi's left.]

sorry for the delay in reply

[koishi_komeiji]

The bark and howl were not what got her attention. The tin whistle, on the other hand... Koishi drifted through the trees, landing lightly on a branch and looking around. Whoever was doing this clearly had no idea who they were messing with!

She heard the whistle to the left, but closed her eyes, reaching out with her psychic abilities to find the source of the sound. All the while fading from view.

Two can play this game!

yer fired >;0

[The playful elin remained hidden for a moment longer before checking to see if the target of her pranks was still chasing the sounds. Peeking through the bushes, she doesn't see anything.

She quickly moves to another bush and peeks from there. Still nothing. Finally, she comes out of hiding all together, completely confused as to where they went. Oh well. People have ignored her sounds before, but it was still boring.]

[koishi_komeiji]

Of course things wouldn't remain discouraging for long. The little satori was now right behind the little elin.

Right. Behind. Her.

Slowly she leaned forward and quickly placed both hands on her shoulders.

"Gotcha!"

[twin_tailed_wolf]

[And thus the prankster is the pranked! Tatlyn shrieked in surprise and leapt forward with all her tiny strength, hiting the ground in a roll before looking up and back to where she started.]

H-how'd you do that?! How'd you sneak up on me?

[koishi_komeiji]

"I'm good at sneaking!" Clearly!

The little youkai drifted forward, giggling a little bit. "Also it's hard to sneak up on a satori youkai. We're psychic so I noticed you really quickly."

[twin_tailed_wolf]

A satori youkai...?

[Certainly not a familiar name. Though the concept of psychics is.]

Never heard of satori youkai, and I know a lot of things. And a satori youkai is something I don't know about...

[koishi_komeiji]

"Yeah. We're from the mountains far to the east. I can't read minds anymore though so you don't have to be scared of me."

She was absolutely beaming.

"You have the cutest ears, Miss. Are you a wolf tengu? Or maybe a yamabiko? Or some other kind of youkai?"

[twin_tailed_wolf]

[Far to the east? Velika? Or Nova City?]

I see. We have no youkai in my world. None that we've encountered. We're kinda dealing with some heavy slop on the western continent.

[Indeed, her ears are cute. And so is the fluffy tail that sways elegantly.]

I'm an Elin. We're the children of Elinu, charged with protecting nature.

[koishi_komeiji]

"Ohhh. I've never heard of an Elin before. But you have such an important job!" Koishi drifted closer. "I bet you're really good at it too. You seem like you're really strong and clever."

At least Koishi wasn't being grabby (yet).

[twin_tailed_wolf]

[A flattered Elin is a wiggling Elin apparently.]

It's really nothing. We look like human children, but we're animals at heart. We do what comes naturally.

Besides, I spent more time tending to pains that tending to gardens.

[She glances over yonder, mildly distracted by a passing bug.]

[koishi_komeiji]

"Ohhh. Satori look like human children because we're carnivores and sometimes eat people."

How morbid.

"Pains? You're not hurt, are you?" And there was the grabby. Or pets, in this case. Because Koishi was reaching for those ears.

[twin_tailed_wolf]

[Wait until you meet the Elin sense of humor.]

No, I'm a priestess. A healer. I offer healing magic for what ails the body and a empathetic ear for what ails the mind. Speaking of ears...

[The only statement she will make is fold her wolf ears back as Koishi's hands approached. No touchy without permission...y?]

[discomilf]

Ragyo had been on her way to the construction site for the Genessia branch of her Revocs corporation when she caught a glimpse of the small youkai. However, what truly caught her attention was the uniform.

That was the Kamui Nui had made. Someone had altered it. It was an insult to Nui and herself and she wasn't going to simply sit back and let it go.

"You there," she called out as she made her way over to Koishi. "Who altered that outfit?"

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi blinked and paused, looking around and turning in a circle before focusing on Ragyo and pointing to herself. She drifted over. Though the outfit was, overall, a little shabby perhaps. Overall Nui's work hadn't been altered at its core but it had been altered to not drive the wearer crazy.

Additionally, there weren't any errors in the alterations themselves. It was more that some of the choices weren't all that perfect. And the original intent had, of course, been lost. But then again, Koishi wouldn't have been able to wear it as she was now otherwise.

"Hello Miss Colors. Miss Satsuki fixed Noushuketsu." Okay, so it had a name now. Oddly appropriate to name the thing 'brain hemorrhaging.' "She had some help though. She told me I could wear it now but I dunno if she's done with it."

A smile now. "It's feisty but it's also getting used to me so that's good. Now we don't drive each other crazy."

[discomilf]

As soon as Koishi was within arm's reach, Ragyo began tugging and examining the outfit, recoiling in horror at certain points.

"You poor thing... you've been butchered..." She didn't seem to be addressing Koishi when she talked but she leveled a cold glare at the youkai after a moment, producing tacking pins that she now held in her teeth.

"Satsuki doesn't know how to make clothing, let alone a Kamui. Who helped her?"

She began tugging at the outfit more, putting pins in places to hold the fabric in place as she talked.

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi squirmed a little bit as the pins went in, the Kamui rippling. It didn't have the same sense around it as another Kamui would. Intentionally so to make it more hostile.

"Miss colors. What-" It was hard to make Koishi this uncomfortable.

"A few people helped her. Mostly people who were good at science and were good at understanding how to fix it..." She was cooperating more now, letting Ragyo put pins in places.

"I don't think it's been butchered at all though. It's not as tidy now but before it was screaming and scared when I was put in it, after I ripped it off, and it was put back together. Now it's receptive and comfortable. I know because it was in my head and I was in its head-" A pause. "Mind. It doesn't have a head."

[discomilf]

"I want names," she said as she continued to work, pulling a tape measure from seemingly nowhere.

"The stitching is all wrong, the threads are all out of alignment... granted Nui's work was rushed and far from her best, but this is just barbaric..."

She sighs and take a step back after putting some more pins in the kamui. "Take it off. Now. I'm taking it with me to repair the damage."

[koishi_komeiji]

"I don't have names. I don't even remember your name. Miss Satsuki would have names though. I'm really sorry about that." Sorry Satsuki.

Koishi was squirming more as she was measured and poked at. Not so much as to make it troublesome but...

As it turned out Koishi had some weird measurements. She was very lithe and more like a tiny adult than a child. Some of the alterations done were not ideal for her shape. They wouldn't be difficult to fix, fortunately.

"Really? He was so much worse before..." By design. The shoddy construction had been ideal for selling the idea of a kamui not put together by Nui or Ragyo... but still.

"I can't take it off in public. My anatomy is weird and scares humans..." It would not be hard to drag her off though. And having Koishi and her weird proportions and strange means of transport (flight) there in person might make things easier. Especially since the major fixes probably wouldn't take long enough for Koishi to get into trouble.

[discomilf]

Ragyo rolls her eyes. She had hoped that with Koishi not being human she wouldn't have the same failings. Alas, that doesn't seem to be the case. A few more prods and Koishi would notice 5 strings rise from the Kamui, connecting to the tips of Ragyo's fingers. Consider it a leash because short of a pair of rending scissors or Bakuzan, the Kamui was very firmly attached to the envoy for the Life Fibers.

"Fine. Then you're coming with me. I'm not letting such an abomination against fashion wander aimlessly."

[koishi_komeiji]

"I am?" She wasn't even aware of what was going on until she was already being dragged along.

"Wah! I'm going somewhere?! What are you doing miss? How did you do that?" She wasn't really squirming or struggling... but she also was asking questions. Mostly 'what' and 'how' questions. She'd do this intermittently throughout the course of the trip. Less so if any of them were actually answered. After all, she really was interested in learning the answers.
