Would anyone be interested in going to a show at the Moulin Rouge with me? I know it's super kitch-y and touristy, but I don't think I can resist.

Does anyone have any cool spots they'd really like to show me? The first few days I'll be busy, but after that, I'm up for whatever!

You guys, Scott and I are going to be incommunicado for a couple of days. [Gosh Kira, between that clue-bomb and the way you're grinning, you may as well wear a sign explaining your intentions around your neck.] But don't worry, we'll catch up with you all well before we're ready to ship out!

[Action for Scott]

[Don't ask how she did it, but Kira somehow did - she's managed to rent a little studio at the top of the stairs of a quaint little building in Montmartre. Perhaps it's where some famous painter brought an equally famous painting to life, or Christian typed out the final act of Satine's life Regardless, it has a lovely view of the Paris skyline, even if one has to climb up several flights of stairs to get to it.

It's only two, maybe three days if Scott presses, but they're days that solely belong to Scott and Kira. The street below has a grocer, a florist, and a cafe, so if the pair venture out of the little apartment for essentials, they're close at hand.

But chances are they're not venturing out often, until it's at last time to rejoin the world.]

[Action OTA]

[Kira absolutely adores Paris. Once her time frees up, she's excited for just about any offer to go anywhere within the city with those she considers her friends though when it comes to the museums she finds she far prefers the ones that emphasize history over art. Mainly she enjoys exploring the streets of the city themselves, but the thing Kira enjoys most of all? The food. If she didn't have a kitsune's metabolism she'd probably end up gaining a few pounds, but even if she didn't, at least going out and dancing helps.

In the end, she'll leave Paris having had the time of her life.]

[Kira's face. She looks troubled, which even during the worst of times, is unlike her.]

Scott's recovering despite the best efforts of some people.

Dr. Facilier's rooms are gone. He didn't graduate. Is it a failure if an inmate leaves before graduating?

[Because it feels like a failure to Kira.]

[There's a point at which Kira doesn't realize she's sleeping. It's the deepest, darkest part of slumber and it's only the moments as her consciousness slowly elevates that such a deep level of sleep is truly appreciated.

But the next layer of consciousness is the realization that she's sleeping, and her brain weighs the desire to wake up versus the urge to sink back into slumber. Kira's not lazy by nature, but she's comfortable and the resonance of her dreams have been if not good, than at least interesting. Kira lets herself drift, and remains asleep.

Finally though, her brain and body have simply had enough rest. She can't really say where the uge comes from. Maybe it's a simple neurochemical decision. Maybe it's magic. Maybe it's some outside stimulus.

Kira opens her eyes.]

[Network: OTA]

[Kira's awake. She smiles into the device's camera and offers a little wave of her hand.]

I'm okay now. I'm sorry if I worried anybody. I don't exactly remember what happened. The last thing I remember was being in the music room, practicing a song. I heard the Barge was at port while I was asleep, and I hope everyone's okay. Did I miss anything important? Does anybody need anything from me?

[Network: Pack Filter]

Sound off, guys. Is everyone okay?

[Network: Private to Facilier]

Check in with me, please. Also, I want to talk to you about Tucky.

A young man, albeit with quite feminine features, Kiro Yukimura foregoes the trappings of Western Europe and prefers the clothing of a Renaissance era swordsman from Japan.]

If perhaps the matter lacks clarity
Then let it be most assuredly known
I swear upon my life, my loyalty
Those who seek to harm my most gracious lord
Shall be met with the sharpness of my blade.
No other than Lord McCall commands me
My fealty and love are sworn to him.

[Young 'Master' Kiro can be found in pretty much the same places that his alter ego Kira can; 'he' greatly enjoys strolling the deck, or engaging in keeping his weapon skills sharp in the enclosure. He partakes of food and drink in the dining hall as well as the pub when he's feeling raucous, and seeks serenity in the library or the greenhouse when in need of peace and quiet.]

(ooc: Prose or action spam is fine, I will adjust to your preference! Please note I'd still welcome an "Olivia" to chase after "Kiro".)

[Clan Yukimura is a tribe, or a skulk, of kitsune folk who live on the border of Narnia that hugs the mountains of the Western Wild. Lithe and cunning, they are able to transform between their fox forms and human forms at will, and they are ruled by Noshiko Nine Tails. Having pledged their loyalty to Aslan and the monarchs of Cair Paravel, Noshiko has sent many of her best warriors to aid in the battle against the White Witch. Leading them is Kira Two Tails, Noshiko's own daughter and heir.

Despite being known for their stealth, when they return from their hunts and scouting parties, their arrival is often heralded by yips, high pithched trills, and howls signaling their approach of Aslan's camp. In human form they ride a variety of steeds, from horses to unicorns to centaurs they've allied with, and each saddle has an extra pad upon which each kitsune may cling and perch on when in their fox form.

At the head of the cacophany is Kira herself, dressed in her tribe's clothing and paying no heed to the chill. She rises while still astride, even going so far as to pull her feet out of the stirrup to stand up on the saddle, and vaults herself into the air. Her body shimmers and transforms as flips, and lands in the form of a fox, her two tails aflutter behind her.

There are many other places she may be found. When not scouting and engaging in skirmishes with the forces of Jadis, she frequents the pathways of Aslan's Camp, offering guardianship, counsel and advice to the kings and queens, and enjoying the company of her fellow Narnians. Within the Yukimura encampment, she has her own tent, somehow managing to be both warm and inviting while also being stacked full of weapons.]

[Kira is in the music room, standing by the piano, glancing sidelong at someone out of frame as she positions her device. She offers a nervous smile to the camera.]

So Bleu asked me to give her an example of contemporary music. I thought long and hard about it, because I mean, how do you try to encompass all those different styles? You can't, not really. So I thought at very least I could offer one example that I love, and hey Bleu, if you want to hear more or something different, just let me know.

Also, I have a message for my friends.

[She turns her head toward her accompanist.] You ready, Ben? One, two, three, four.

[The piano intro begins, Kira's head bobbing a little to the music. For anyone familiar with pop music of the last couple of years, it's Brave by Sara Bareilles.

As she sings, she holds up a series of placards with text written in black marker, just like that dude from Love, Actually.]

( Placards )

[When the song ends, she offers the comm device another quirked grin before leaning forward to turn it off.]

(ooc: Yes, that is Arden Cho. I couldn't resist! Forgive me if it's too cheesy.)

Kira could be thankful that when she ended up in the forest, she had her katana with her. Maybe she would have been able to defend herself without it, but she didn't want to think about having to try.

On the first day, she spends most of her time keeping her distance from others, confused by how some of them seem inclined to steer clear of her in turn. By the second day she's to encounter Allison, and with a better understanding of what's going on, she spends the rest of her time trying to search for other benevolent souls and protect them. When she encounters people she believes are good or in need of protection, Kira teaches them a kanji that they can use to indicate they have been in contact with her.

When necessary she tries to pretend she's the nogitsune. She doesn't want to hurt - she hates the idea of having to kill - but she's prepared to defend herself if she has to. When she can, she runs unless forced to fight. She just wants to make it through however long it'll take to get safely back to the barge.

[Kira sits under the camera, grinning a bit in expectation. She takes a deep breath as she looks around, and then addresses her audience, such as it is.]

Okay, so after getting settled in the first thing I did was go up on the deck. It's funny how you see movies and look at pictures in books, but it's totally true that nothing can prepare you for how vast space actually is. It seems like people have two reactions to it, either they're completely overwhelmed by it, like in a bad 'I can't take this' way, or they think it's amazing.

[She leans forward earnestly.]

It's amaaaaazing!

[She bounces in her chair, though gradually she slows down, and settles into a more serious expression.]

I haven't been assigned an inmate yet, and to be honest, I'm nervous. I mean, I'm supposed to help them, right? But what if I can't? What if they don't want to be helped? What if I have to - I don't know, I'm not particularly mean or anything. But what if I have to be?

[Her mouth scrunches up a little.]

I'll figure this out. I have to.

[Maybe indicating she has doubts or worries about her performance as a warden is a mistake, but well, live and learn, little kitsune.]
