Completed Well, isn't that Something? (Kouri)

[Lyrri Snowsong]

OOCDon't worry about it! I've been gone a lot lately, too. It's hard to keep up sometimes! ^^; Sorry if my response isn't quite up to par- don't hold it against me, okay?

At the small suggestion, a secretive whisper in a musical voice, the bard's face lit up with excitement and intrigue. "I think I'd like to see that sometime, Kouri," she smiled. "I can't help but wonder what you can do." To think that the girl could be judged so! Avanthal was an accepting place; strangers were welcome in the Vantha's homes. Fubuki Kouri was a kind little spirit. How could she be outcasted for her tragedy? It almost made Lyrri want to leave this lonely place and never look back, run off in search of a friendlier world to perform for. Surely she would, when her flighty soul got sick of the city. But until then, she would smile for the two lovely children.

"What are you doing here, Lyrri? Sharing your beautiful music perhaps? Ehehe~"

Lyrri chuckled. "I'd hardly call it that- at least, not yet- but yes, I thought I'd try to brighten up the street a little. It's so grey and bleak here; I hope the music helped your moods!" As she spoke, she marked the ghost's trailing laugh, heard throughout the conversation but unnoticed 'til now. It matched the rest of Kouri's outward appearance- strange and unnatural, yet beautiful, once you took the time to listen. The eldest Vantha briefly wondered how it compared to the laugh of a younger, more innocent Kouri. There was a dim flash of teal.

"Where do you stay, Lyrri? Maybe we could visit you sometime~"

The previous train of thought was again forgotten. The bard grinned. "I'd love that," she exclaimed. "I live in the Dyres district, close to the north end. I could show you the way, though I'm not sure you'd like to spend a lot of time there; it's an awful little place, really." Lyrri laughed at the thought of her unfortunate little room; she hadn't done much more than sleep and eat there in the past season. It hid deep in the bowels of the citadel, a tiresome place that felt even worse in the summer. She was glad she was so content with the din of everyday life on the streets of Syliras; to stay in that musty old box all day was not worth the silence!

Fubuki Kouri OOCNo really, your posts are good. The thread's nature is light social so we couldn't really do much, especially in a crowded street like this. I think this would be my last post for the thread, Lyrri. You can post your last reply, mentioning Lyrri taking both of them to her home and I'll post it for grading! But of course, if you want to continue, we could do that. "Ehehehe~" Kouri's laugh went rather sinister, but still had that cheerful veil, the little devil inside of her began to get excited at the mention of her powers "Well... I can manipulate multiple daggers... cut evil people up, I can blink, I can press my fingers to permanently blind someone... and I... can go inside people... ahahahaha~" She didn't realize nor care if she made Lyrri felt uneasy. "Sis..." Rena didn't know what her sister was saying, but from her tone, it was definitely not good in nature. She didn't know on what to do, she was rather powerless compared to Kouri, perhaps... she could persuade her. "S-sis uhm..." "Oh! Ehehehe~ Yes! Vantha musics are the best after all!" Kouri's growing malice suddenly vanished as fast as it came. The mention of music always brightened up her mood, Kouri was still a Snowsong at heart... no matter how twisted she had become. Rena stopped herself and breathed a sigh of relief in her mind, she silently wondered on what could happen to her if she kept staying with Kouri? She didn't have much choice in the matter, unfortunately. "Dyres district?" Kouri tilted her head in confusion, she didn't know where it was. North end... hmmm... Kouri got the general image but she didn't know where exactly it was. "Ehehe~ It's okay, Lyrri! Let's visit your home!" Kouri materialized herself and took Lyrri's right hand, urging her to do so. "Let's go! Let's go!"

OOC^^; Well thanks~ Still, I feel like I could do a better job.

And that sounds good. I'll try to sorta wrap it up~ It was fun writing with you! I'd love to do it again sometime. (Maybe even a thread with a little more plot to it~ )

Lyrri felt a breathtaking chill as Kouri described her powers. Her eyes widened as she stared into those smirking reds; yet the corners of her mouth twitched with an excited curiosity. The girl's words were... Unnerving, to say the least, but the feeling in the Vantha's chest was not unlike the feeling from horror stories told by the elder members of the Snowsong Hold- and she appreciated any good story!

The youngest began to speak; Kouri brightened as she switched back to the common tongue. Any trace of wickedness disappeared in an instant, and the bard breathed a cheerful sigh. The momentary tension left her shoulders, and she stretched widely as the conversation carried on. Still... This has been an interesting day!

And then, the girl with no form took her hand, a grasp colder even than that sinister gaze had been; Lyrri lit up with shock before she remembered how the girl had hugged her. A sheepish yet indulgent smile followed as Kouri urged her to lead the way. "If you insist," the performer laughed as she packed away her flute. "Well, Madame Kouri, Miss Rena: Off we go!" With yet another dose of electric green, tightly holding the ghost girl's phantom hand, she once again joined the living and shifting city and made her way down a narrow street, the ethereal children in tow. The sun drifted toward the horizon; the bard grinned as she looked back on the day.

"I really am glad to have met you both!"
