So the holiday concert turned out to be a New Years gig, a big clock that counts to the second emblazoned on the big screen positioned above the curtains. Kitsuro floats and flutters about backstage, making sure everything’s in place, checking with her crews that she’d brought over from Cherries for the night. “You’ve got everything in place for when it hits midnight, right?”
The fellow kitsune nods, tapping his comms headset. “Everything’s lined up. You’ve got your headset, you know how it works. We’re on in twenty.”
She takes his hand in both of hers, shaking it, bracelets jingling gently as she does so. “Thank you. I’m gonna go check on the rats.”
She’s rather classily dressed up, a black open backed dress that ends just above her ankles, with an embroidering of a familiar god upon the front, a ten tailed kitsune in silver stitching that’s tiny and detailed, with plenty of negative space. Her hair’s pulled up into a not quite bun, held together with a decorative clip that’s black with blue and silver embellishments, little ribbons that shimmer in the stagelights. A good portion of it is pulled in front to frame her face on one side; it turns out that clip’s enchanted, style magic to keep her hair exactly where she wants it. That stuff exists, you know. The one sided style goes well with the way she wears her headset. Her shoes are stilettos, as is to be expected, silver with pointed toes and open tops, straps coming up above her ankle bone.
Coming up to her stars, she places a hand on the slightly tense looking Rikhuri’s shoulder, careful not to mess up his suit. He hadn’t meant to, but he ended up complimenting Snide rather well- a forest green suit with a double notch lapel, gold stitching abundant on the lapels of vines and leaves, a couple of small white flowers satin stitched in. The same vines crawl along his sides without flowers, down to the sides of his legs the same way that serpent’s scales coil around Snide’s. His undershirt and tie even match, black and white respectively. When Kit comes up to ease him, he puts on a smile for her, laughing nervously. “I’m fine, Kit. Just a couple nerves. There’s a lot of people out there, huh. . ?” He leans out of his stool, peering at the tiny crack in the curtains.
Kit only laughs, looking much more comfortable with the show than him. “Sure is. You’ll be fine.” She looks over to Snide, still cracking that same confident smile. “You both will. Hell, you two are gonna knock it outta here, the way you’ve been sounding at rehearsal. Ease up.” Rikh nods at her request, and she gives him the subtlest of winks.
