LOVE / DECEIVE

@souldevours​ ♡’d for a starter

“…You’re not from around here either, I take it?” She hasn’t been in the city long enough to know what should pass as ‘normal’ around here, but it seems fitting to start her investigation here, not too far from one of their apparent temples— if there’s anything that she’s learned, it’s best to start by speaking to the people. Or maybe she’s picked up on Keiji’s habits. What he would’ve probably suggested for her to do in this scenario. Same difference. Conversation is a welcome distraction from thinking about what might be going on back—

“Erm, would you mind if I ask you some questions, then?”

     “No, I do believe many of us are not.” She was far from the world of Runeterra, the land of Ionia, and certainly far from the forest she had made into her home. She was, however, curious of these surroundings, and made a point of exploring them. Sharing whatever she found would benefit them both, and she could ask questions in return. The things neither of them knew gave a good direction of what to explore next. With a glint in her golden eyes, the bobbing of nine very white tails, Ahri spoke encouragingly.

“Uhm, excuse me? Can I ask you a question?” Actually, there’s more than a few questions that girl would like to ask stranger— namely, she’s got at least a few about their surroundings, but there’s also a matter of the ears and tails that adorns her figure. Not a matter of curiosity in that case, they just look fluffy, and she is a very hands on person ( so okay, maybe she lied, because Ahiru is admittedly a little curious to know if that’s true, but that’s not really the most pressing issue here ). “I— I don’t wanna bother you or anything, so if you’re busy I’ll ask someone else!”

“Tails are kinda like cloaks. Most people wouldn’t recommend having them because they could be a weakness in a fight. But those same people are also super ignorant to the ways of style. And usually ignorant to the ways of having fun too.”

||  █ ▌— those certainly were some distinctive ears. satan can’t help but feel curious, even as he contemplates his own stagnant form, already missing being able to show off his own inhuman features. not that it matters much, here. it isn’t as though he’d show it off in this world of humans.

or mostly humans. he can’t help but look at her in puzzlement, in a way he can only hope isn’t rudely. he tries to be somewhat subtle, but ultimately the curiosity gets the better of him. ❝ you have a tail–several tails? amazing! ❞

    Ahri is no stranger to being stared at, even when she hid her features. When they were on display, the stares accrued to a greater incriment. She was an ethereal woman, a beauty she knew that she possessed, and even worked to keep cultivated. So when she feels a lingering gaze, a set of eyes following her, she does not feel out of her element. This is normal. And to some degree, it was what she wanted. People were oft enchanted by her, and that made them easy to manipulate... but she would never underestimate anyone back home, and certainly not in a foreign land. Plus, she saw no need to decieve this man... not yet.

     there’s a certain sense of pride in knowing her sister had gotten better at looking after herself. it’s only natural since she’s long grown past being a little child. however, as scarce as these moments have become, every now and then yang finds herself cleaning after the other. which is fine, really——   she doesn’t mind it at all. so here she is, barging in with ruby’s key to retrieve the cookies ruby had forgotten. it is only halfway through getting the container emptied out that she notices a very pretty, ethereal fox lounging by the living room.

‘ oh hey, almost didn’t see you there. did you know you blend in with the cushions really well ?  haha ! oh man, i had no idea rubes has a fox for roommate. hiiii, how’re you ?’    she proceeds to kneel in front of said fox, reaching with her left hand to hopefully pet it. however, it got up and disappeared into the spare bedroom. yang sighed in defeat.

‘ huh, maybe they’re not fond of strangers? way to go… ’

     Ahri was many, many years old, centuries old, and thus when she grew to be tired, she would happily laze about anywhere she felt safe. She knew little of her roommate here still, bar that she had a lot of pep in her step, but Ahri didn’t feel as though the girl would threaten her life, or act as a form of adversity to her. Plus, with the young woman being so spirited, Ahri often had time to herself to lounge and take up space in their living quarters. She’d already made clear her fox form, and happily was herself in that skin when she slept. Today, that was a-- somewhat restless-- nap in their shared living room with incense burning and candles scattered about... at least until she was interrupted by a woman almost hurdling in the door in a rage of golden curls and rambling words. Ahri could talk to her like this, it didn’t seem like she’d mind considering how easily she reached to pet a fox that was a stranger, but Ahri felt more at home conversing with humans in her, well, human state. It put humans more at ease, let her read them better, it evened the playing field. As beautiful as she knew her fox form was, for she did not shy from forms of vanity, she was still an animal. As a woman, she was just as enticing, but in different ways. She had an undeniable allure, and it put her further at ease to use it as her shield. She’s lived too many years not to protect herself, no matter how beautiful and sprightly her company might seem. 

     Only a minute or two after padding off in her fox form, she emerged back with her long tresses curly, bouncy, yet tamed, her makeup flawless, and dressed to the nines for staying in with a crimson silk slip, and an airy gossamer robe in shades of soft white tinged ever so slightly with rose. With a cant of her head, the curls shifting, yet not a hair out of place, her painted lips curved into a gentle smile.

“You aren’t seeing my side.” Naoto crosses their arms. “If there were more people to investigate this ‘beast’ that comes out at night, we could identify where it comes from. I see what you mean by there needing to be more fighters than investigators; however, multiple thought processes are better than just one or two. Besides, there are investigators that can fight.”

@souldevours sent in a music-related case file. ( twenty one pilots - not today. )

it’s another hera muse, back at it with a feral fox. there is a lot worth knowing about ahri, so i ask kindly that you look over her application and stats pages! here are some brief bullets for your consumption, however.

very very very old foxy lady who is a bit cryptid and feral

she is ethereal / goddess level beauty and she takes very good care of herself, its a ritual of sorts.

she can and will glam away her fox features if she so chooses, as well as sometimes altering her appearance.

she can turn into her full on fox form. pls be careful about petting. she usually loves them but shes not always in the mood. if shes in the mood, scratching under her chin or ear scritches are always ok. belly rubs sometimes, tails are definitely what takes the most trust for her to let you pet, but if she really trusts you she will even let you sleep surrounded in their plush fluffiness.

IN GENERAL dont just touch her tails unless you like getting clawed.

she absolutely adores nature from flowers to other animals. you can often find her surrounded by nature, but if you harm nature and she knows, its over kid.

theres an important note in my app that ahri is not fully vastayan, ive just adopted some of the lore to her, she is a gumiho first and foremost - a korean nine tailed fox. obviously in league lore she is still “ionian”

she is korean - i have face claims which ive found to suit her over the years listed.
