When you see me, you always recognize me, but I only show you what you show me.

[There is an uncanny tilt of her head.] What am I?


[A slow smile spreads across her face.]

I'm feeling a little peckish.

[Private Video to Scott, Stiles, Lydia, & Allison]

[The smile never wavers, and her voice is a purr.]

Where are you?

[Action Spam]

Kira can be found in a number of places throughout the Barge; the nogitsune's curiousity and trickster will frequently lead her into all the nooks and crannies. Even if the food served in the mess hall can no longer sustain her, she likes to go there because it's a social hub and it allows her to observe her fellow inmates as well as the wardens. As ever, she enjoys going on deck to watch the stars, and if she can persuade a Warden to help her, the CES will often remind her of home.

Of course, a girl's got to eat, and one who feeds on chaos, pain, and strife will not lack for nourishment on the barge.

[ooc: feel free to plurk me at princesscupcake if you'd like to have Kira torture/feed on your character, or just note it in the header!]

Not wherever you are. Obviously.

[She is delighted by how scrappy Stiles is, and her smile is downright cheerful. Echoes and shades of Kira in that smile, which makes it all the more chilling for those who might know the true kitsune.]

Oh, Stiles. Are you going to make me hunt you down? It might be fun for a while, but if I get bored, I'm going to be very irritated when I find you. This isn't our Barge, you know. Do you know what that means?

[She leans forward, tone as sweet as pie.]

I may not have a deal with the Lydia who's here.

[megamind]

A mirror.

[ The original Megamind loves Edward Nygma; Mastermind just -- owned him. But some things stuck. ]

Not very entertaining here, is it?

[whatthefoxsay]

[Kira applauds cheerfully, and at a question, offers a one-shouldered shrug.]

I'm very good at making my own fun.

[She leans forward with interest.] You like riddles, then?

[changeitroundsome]

A mirror.

[He'll lean forward a bit, to regard her through the screen, he's intrigued.]

Sounds like you're after a little more than can found in the mess hall.

[whatthefoxsay]

[Applause is offered at his correct answer, and at his remark, she all but flutters her lashes coyly.]

On the contrary, there's plenty for me to eat in the mess hall.

[Private]

[semifreakingnormal]

[He's weak. He's weak. It's all he can think about, all he can acknowledge. He's weak.

And he can't let her know that. So he smiles easily, but his face isn't as monstrous as it should be. He's getting closer to human the longer he tries to keep it up. But the arrogance is all there, even if it's a little stressed.]

Should I start looking for a meal?

[Private]

[whatthefoxsay]

[There he is. The one little fragment of Kira that has managed to influence the kitsune has been this fondness she holds for the violent Alpha.]

I think I might --

[A pause, as she stares.]

What is wrong with your face?

[youwillgotohell]

A mirror, apparently. [Morgana is not one for riddles, but she does, at least, notice the difference.]

The mess hall should be where it usually is.

[whatthefoxsay]

Quite. Very kind of you, Pretty.

[ For a moment, just have Jerry trying to compose himself. Very lacking in color. There's no way the Kira he'd met in the jungle could fake that tone. And when he speaks, it's barely above a whisper. ]

...it can't be...

[whatthefoxsay]

[Her smile is fond.]

Oh, Jerry.

[She leans forward, and her eyes gleam.]

I can smell you from here.

[lydiascreams]

[Lydia is not sure how to reply to this. The riddle makes her stomach clench. She knows Kira could be pretending but if she's not? She's just glad Stiles and Allison aren't here. Or Scott, for that matter. She doesn't know what her relationship with the other Lydia is, but apparently she's been helping feed the Nogitsune.

Certainly because she thinks she'll get something out of it like an idiot.

With a deep breath, she arches her eyebrows and smirks as she answers the feed.]

I have to tell you for you to find me now? [She has to do her best to pretend.]

[Private]

[whatthefoxsay]

[The nogitsune likes riddles, and right now everyone she meets is a riddle. But amusement can only carry so far.]

I'll tell you the same thing I told Stiles; hunting you down might be fun, but if it takes too long I'm going to become irritated.

[She has a deal with Lydia. But this might not be the Lydia she has a deal with, and if so all bets are off.]

[notgonnabeopencasket]

Well I guess that answers any question of whether or not you came back the same.

[Flatly. She rather liked Kira, what little they spoke. And this clearly isn't her.]

[whatthefoxsay]

I'm sure she's somewhere in here.

Or maybe she's on my Barge. If she is, I hope she's enjoying herself.

[crossingyouout]

A reflection. God, you're dull. Go and chase your own tail in a corner, why don't you?

[private]

[whatthefoxsay]

Actually, a mirror.

You're slipping, Anita. You're supposed to be clever.

[150th]

It has been looking for her, since they met in the forest. All of them, really, to ask them what they saw and how much of it was real. How could any of it be possible?

The human chatter on the device proved that it had not been the only one to experience strange things but - how? why?

Nogitsunes are curious, but so is Mewtwo. It pads up to Kira on the deck - taller than its mirror self, walking instead of floating, bulkier and closer to human. It speaks with the faintest brush of telepathy. Both versions of Mewtwo are mute.

{I recognize you.}

[whatthefoxsay]

[The Nogitsune regards MewTwo up and down, her gaze lazily negligent.]

Quite a few people recognize me. Am I supposed to recognize you?

[spam; mess hall] (feeding a-okay!)

[punched_hitler]

[Steve's sitting alone in the mess hall, eating without much gusto. Both of those things are pretty strange, but with the wrong Bucky on board and an inmate who'd decided to take matters into her own hands in the messiest possible way, he's not been having the best of weeks.

When he'd finally called Bucky out, the ensuing conversation had been one of the hardest he's had in a long, long time. It's just dredged up every ounce of guilt he ever felt over what happened to his Bucky, not to mention plenty of internal turmoil over the fact that the other Bucky and Steve were never really friends, that this other Steve works for HYDRA, that he got his Bucky killed in this horrible twisted, well, mirror version of reality. Or, at least, what Steve thinks is reality.

So while he knows that Kira isn't "herself," exactly, he doesn't know what she's like, on the other side. He just glances up, humming a greeting and offering a distracted smile when he spots her.]

[spam; mess hall]

[whatthefoxsay]

[Kira is surprised to see Steve take up a position within conversational distance. The Rogers she knows is hardly gregarious; but this one seems willing to play with a little fire. She appreciates that. Steve was also a soldier, and so was her host prior to Kira; perhaps it inclines her to tolerate, or even appreciate him.

She doesn't actually have any food in front of her where she sits, but she's enjoying the people watching none the less. She gives him a sunny smile, tone inviting.]

Something I can do for you, Rogers?

[Private video]

[theresalwayshope]

The answer is a mirror.

And if you're hungry? I'm on deck. [She holds up a hand, eyes glowing gold.] And I've been collecting extra for you to snack on.

You want a meal? Come and get one.

[Because if the nogitsune fed on her...no matter how horrible it was...maybe she'd stay away from the rest of the Barge.]

[Private video]

[whatthefoxsay]

Allison. Darling.

What is open, though meant to shut, and with a door that only goes one way?

[Clementine is on deck much of the time, because it's an open space - because she wants to move. Even though all of her seems to hurt after the second bite, she doesn't want to hide anymore. The death toll kept her in her cabin for long enough; now she wants to fight it out in the open.]

[In truth, though, it's all she can do to stand upright. It's only a matter of time before the nogitsune catches her scent.]

[whatthefoxsay]

[It's as simple as turning a corner and there she is; the nogitsune, leaning against the railing. Her chin lifts and her gaze follows the proverbial 'wind' toward Clementine before the latter can move to retreat.]

I thought you were gone and lost forever.

[Oh my darling Clementine.]
