The Nightingale's Cry

[thedarkwolfofdeath]

She laughed when the kitsune spoke. "Ninety-three? Here I am, what... 17?" She laughed again, aware of what Matias had said. She chuckled slightly, muttering, "Excuses, Excuses..." she laughed, then said, "But I guess you have a point..." When the kitsune said that she needed to dress, she turned her head, saying, "You'd probably like it if I turned as well..."

[demin]

Bone cracked and reshaped and flesh now covered a new form. Matias had turned into his four-legged form, finally he could be a little more comfortable. He shook his head to get his leather chest armor, now empty, off of him. He pushed his clothes aside with his muzzle so he could sleep where he had previously been sitting. He layed down on his stomach, laying his head down on his front paws, and spoke in a tired voice. "Whatever, I said you had OVER 70 years anyway." He yawned but didn't go to sleep, he couldn't go back to sleep unless his master did. He had to stay up and protect her just in case this human decided to get bold.

He sighed as Evelyn told him to turn around, why couldn't she just go in an alley or something. "Fine, fine." Was all he said before getting up again to turn around. When he had turned around he sat on his rump and waited for her to tell him he could face them again and lay back down.

[justice]

Evelyn forced a smile as they both turned, well she didn't care that much. As she grew in size she felt very comfortable walking to her clothing and putting it on slowly. Call it an Occupational hazard, you tended to be very comfortable with yourself after being a prostitute. She didn't bother to tell them to turn around as she was fulling dressed strapping on her belt with its bag full of medical needles and herbs. Herbs including her opium.

Pulling out her pipe once more she leaned against the wall conjuring a small flame to lite the pipe of aphrodisiacs once more. As the smooth feeling flooded her system she leaned against the wall speaking softly. "Matias," It came out more as a whine then an order. "Go get me some Rum, or even better...Sake. Yes go fetch me some sake." So she'd forgotten the little age factor. "You heard me something strong and alcoholic, Now."

Matias turned around as Evelyn addressed him, hoping she was dressed by now. He was relieved to find that she was, he didn't really want to see his master in her birthday suit. His nose twitched when she lit the opium, some of the aroma wafted into his nose. He didn't really want that stuff in his system, it messed with his mind. He sighed as she told him to get her a drink, this wasn't exactly the most glamerous first task.

More bones cracking could be heard and he returned to his normal state. He put his clothes back on and his head darted around the area, he smelled something, but it wasn't the opium. It was a white furred kitsune in his anthro form on one of the roofs of the buildings, but at least he knew this one."Hey, Shima. Get your ass down here!" He yelled up at the new arrival. He saw that he had a closed bottle of something in his hands, he had done Matias's task for him.

The new kitsune, Temishima as he was called, was squatting down on both of his padded feet, his hands resting on his legs. He was swishing the liquid in the bottle around and around in a rythmic fashion. His blue eyes looked down at Evelyn and there was a toothy smile on his maw. He jumped forward off of the building, his brown vest and blue jeans ruffled as the wind hit them on his way down. He landed with a small thud on the concrete and walked towards Evelyn,but he stopped in his tracks when he remembered that Matias had greeted him. He turned around and gave a smirk to the werewolf. "Hey there, Matias. Ya seem a bit furrier than the last time I saw ya." He said, snickering as he did. He turned back to the other kitsune and the toothy smile returned. "Awww, does poor Eve want some sake?" He asked sarcastically. He held up the bottle to her face, but quickly withdrew it. "Well here it is, and all you have to do is give me my damn money." He said smugly.

[thedarkwolfofdeath]

Destiny laughed as the kitsune demanded rum. "Smoking and drinking, eh?" she shook her head playfully. "Oh, you know better than that. But then again, who doesn't do something their not suppossed to do?
As the other kitsune appeared, she watched, holding out the rum only to snatch it back. He told her to give him his money back, and she chuckled, standing up. "Since when does a thief return their money?" she opened one of her pouches without taking her eyes off the new kitsune. She pulled out two bottles of rum. She handed one to Eve, and said, "Here, I always keep a few on me." She leaned against the wall, still watching the newcomer kitsune.

[justice]

She seemed to shrink back as Temishima arrive. Kitsunes and Elephants had one thing in common, abnormally wonderful memories. Shit. "Oh hey there...Temishima...How are you?" A nervous smile crossed her face as he spoke of his money. "Awe, Well your money. Funny thing about it, I lost it all. Damn Craps table was rigged, I swear."

Even though Evelyn was making excuses she still took the rum from Destiny willingly. Allowing the smoke to twist around her figure she gave a grin. "I'm sorry dear, I don't seem to have your money. Er...How much do I owe you again?" She muttered taking a long inhale of the Opium before drinking down a good amount of Rum in one foul swoop.

[demin]

Temishima cracked another toothy smile as Evelyn tried to make up excuses. "Eve, ya know that excuses won't get ya anywhere with me. The fact of the matter is ya owe me money, and I aim to get it from ya." He said, a mischevious glint in his blue eyes. He turned his attention towards the human, a smirk appeared on his muzzle. "Oh she didn't steal from me. She lost it all at my little gambling hall and hasn't paid up yet, and I'm just gonna stick around and annoy the hell outta her till she does. Hehe, I'm gonna have some fun with this." He said, a childish tone in his voice.

He leaned up against a wall and went into a fake thinking stance with his chin in his hand. "Hmm, let's see. How much do ya owe me?" He sarcastically asked. "Oh just about a mansion's worth in gold. Good thing we're immortal too, 'cause tha way you're makin money now it'd take about another hundred years!" He said, throwing his head back and laughing.

[thedarkwolfofdeath]

Destiny opened her mouth in mock surprise. "Oooh... OK, then. So much better." Then, thinking that she was getting a little too bold, put her hands up as if to ward away an attack, palms out, when she realized she was still holding the rum. "Oh, yeah." She pulled the cork out of the bottle, and took a quick swig. She looked at it for a moment, swirled it around, and offered a drink to Temisma, after, of course, getting another drink.
She looked at Eve after getting her rum back, (Assuming, of course, it had been taken) and told her that she would be right back, she was itching for a smoke as well. "It's going to kill me one of these days, but who cares? Matias, want some?" she cracked a smile, mischevious, and added, "I could even get two pipes."

[justice]

Evelyn sighed breathing in the intoxicating taste before rolling her shoulders with a long sigh. "See what you don't get Temishima is that in order to pay you back I would have to take out more money, meaning more to owe you or some hungry shark. Are you sure I can't repay you other ways?" A sly grin crossed her lips, it wasn't as fun to tease or taunt another Kitsune. They were usually as smart or near as smart when it came to trickery, as most of the were mischievous little creatures.

"I could always give you my servant." Smiling she turned to Matias. "A life of him serving you, doesn't that sound good--wait...wait..." Shaking her head she used her pipe to point to the two. "How the hell do you two know each other?" Her dark green eyes and her speech were already starting to show signs of the drug and the rum she'd taken rushing through her blood. "Oh, Dear, Get me some opium if you come across it...ororor...SAKE!"

[demin]

Matias's eyes darted to the girl, disgust in his eyes. "I don't smoke that shit, it'd just screw my body up. You and Eve can smoke that crap all you want, but don't try to get me to." He said with a small hint of anger on his face. He then let out a sigh, it seemed like everyone tried to piss him off. He turned to look at Evelyn as she asked him to explain how he knew Temishima. He layed down on his back and put his hands behind his head so it wouldn't be on the concrete. "Shima, tell her bout it. I'm goin back ta sleep." He said before closing his eyes, quickly falling asleep.

Temishima let a chuckle pass his lips as Evelyn spoke. "How bout you just give me the money. That's the only kind of payment I'm gonna take, ya little stoner." He said snickering, poking at her forehead with one of his claws. He looked behind him at Matias as Evelyn was pointing at the two of them. "Him? I don't really want a kid servin me. I'd rather do my business myself." He explained, ears swiveling forward as Evelyn asked how they met. "Met the fur ball when he was still human, found him in the woods and decided to mess with his head a little bit." He said chuckling. "Hehe, used some of the ol' illusion magic to make a whole bunch of fake wolves come out of nowhere. You shoulda seen the look on his face. 'Course he was about 4 or 5 back then so it was rather easy to trick him. Anyway, I decided to give 'im a break after a while of scarin the crap out of him, and taught 'im a few tricks to piss his brother's off." He laughed recalling the memory. "I just checked up on 'im every now and then to see if he was okay, teach 'im some new stuff, pissed his dad off, ya know, that kind of fun stuff."

[thedarkwolfofdeath]

Destiny shrugged, slipping away for a moment. When she returned, she was holding an ornate pipe, and a nice bag of weed. [Eh, I don't know what they call it here. ^.^] She looked at it sadly, turning to Matias, disgruntled as she shoved the bag and the pipe into her pouch. "You ruin the fun," she sighed, annoyed. "All you had to say was no..."

She listened to the conversation between Eve and Temishima and sighed again. When she heard about the illusion tricks, she looked up, interested. "Illusions? Interesting... How much can you do?" She was, quite frankly, tired of being ignored. She liked Eve, though, and intended on sticking around for a while. It's not like she could do anything if she pissed Eve off other than run for her life...

[justice]

Evelyn smiled as the human asked about her illusions. "Most kitsunes have the abilities they need to play their trickery." A small crossed her lips as the familiar voice of Matias' father echoed once more. "See, I've met the man once but I can make a perfect copy of him from memory."

Waving her had the man she'd conjured slowly melted into a puddle of water. "It is something that comes in handy, anything we've seen, read about, or even dream up can become a solid form. These forms can move to their own accord or to your own thoughts. They are weak though, one hit and they melt like that or disappear. They don't have a pulse, nor do they breath--" A smile passed over her lips as a pile of gold appeared at the wave of her hand.

"There you go Shima, Now leave me alone." Illusion, got to love them.

[/size]

[demin]

He thought for a few seconds when Destiny asked him about his magic. "Hmm, mostly just conjuring stuff up, as Eve said. Some kitsunes can control elements too." Temishima saw the image of Matias's father out of the side of his vision, a smirk flitted across his lips at the sight of him. "Heh, Matias's real dad is still rotting in that mansion of his.....maybe I should go and take the property over?" He said, one eye brow arched. He laughed as she conjured up the gold pile, what did she take him for? "Nice try, Eve." He said chuckling. He snapped his fingers and a flame shot out of his hand towards the gold pile, which then turned back into a puddle of water and a small visible wisp of steam. "I'm not an idiot, Eve. You of all people should know that." He said with the smirk returning to his face.

[thedarkwolfofdeath]

Destiny was interested in what the kitsune's were saying. She picked up her own staff, holding it in her hands and looking at it solemnly. "I have some powers, but they only work when I'm about to be killed or something. If other people are, too... They heal, teleport... All kinds of things..." She trailed off, her voice reducing to almost nothing.
"But I can't seem to control it by my own free will. But," she sighed, then returned to her casual self, "It makes it to where I don't have to worry about dying."

[justice]

"Are you sure you won't accept something else for payment Shima," Batting those long eyelashes over green eyes she sighed. "It seems to fetch a good penny but--" She paused remembering that both Matias and Destiny were under eighteen, even if Matias was sleeping. Waving a hand at Destiny with a smile she sat upon the sleeping Matias right about his stomach area. "I'll let someone else explain that to you, when your older."

Matias made a good cushion as she sat on him, listening. "Its 'cause you've got nothing to hold you to anything. You have no balance, and no anchor to this world. See you're a human. Humans need somethin' ta' keep them going with their small magic stores. A Kitsune is a creature created upon myths and magic, therefore we do not need this." Nodding her head she sighed laying down fully so she laid across Matias' stomach in the opposite direction that he laid.
