1st Charm [Video]

[foxfiring]

[The video feed is turned on to show a beautiful young woman in a blood-red jacket. Sitting on her lap is a Vulpix, which nudges the 'gear. She lets out a giggle before speaking.]

Well now, this place is very interesting.~

Such advanced technology, adorable animals, and I'm finally human!

[She looks extremely pleased about this last fact. So pleased that she decided to reveal that bit of info. Not that it mattered what she had been anymore. She was finally, truly human. And she was going to make the most out of it. She strokes her Vulpix's head.]

So what's there to do for fun around here?~

Congratulations on becoming a human! What were you before you were brought here?

Oh! Well, you have a new partner in crime sorta on your lap already, so you could start with getting to know it!

[Partner in crime, huh? Ironic considering who she's been cast in with.]

I was the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Tamamo and I know each other very well now. We're somewhat kindred spirits, you know.

[ Irony indeed... ]

The Nine-Tailed Fox, huh? Wow!

[ On the outside she's all smiles, but on the inside she paints a mental picture of a mythological monster fox that destroys small villages...

Best ignore that part. It may be fiction, but at the same time it very may well be fact... ]

I-I certainly would hope so that you two are sorta kindred spirits! You'll have to rely as much on it as it will on you.

[foxfiring]

[Not to worry, she didn't destroy any villages. Just a lot of lives.]

So I've heard.~

Right! Are you accustomed to a lot of traveling? You're a human now, so it might be a little different than when you were, umm, a fox!

[ Way to beat around the bush there... ]

It's a bit cold right now [ actually, snowing... ] and the towns and cities aren't exactly next to each other, so you'll have to be extra careful!

Humans don't have fur coats, after all.

[ She's taking this fox thing very well! And she wasn't even hit by that accursed Seduction skillshot yet! ]

Oh, I am very accustomed to traveling. Especially through the wild.

I'm sure I'll be quite fine.~

[positivelynormal]

I bet!

...

You... were really a fox--a Nine-Tailed Fox before, right? With nine tails?

[foxfiring]

I was the Nine-Tailed Fox.

[positivelynormal]

I see, I see! What color fur did you have? Was it orange? I bet it was really soft to pet!

video;

[foxfiring]

It was white, and it was the softest.

A white-furred fox...

[ Haruka is imagining it, as evident by her momentary vacant expression. ]

Heeeh, that sounds really exotic and pretty!

video;

[foxfiring]

Oh yes, it was stunning!

Although I am still striking, am I not?

[positivelynormal]

[ Haruka beams, but speaks easily about this fox girl's natural prettiness. ]

Mmm, yes, you're very pretty! You have an enchanting "natural beauty" look about you! I guess I'm a little envious about it!

[ She laughs lightly at the end. It's easy for one so obsessed about how others look at her to realize just the innate prettiness of others, Ahri included. ]

[foxfiring]

Many are.~

Perhaps one day you'll be nearly as beautiful.

[ Haruka sticks her tongue out. Playfully though. ]

Aww, come on. Maybe I'll get prettier when I get a little older, but there's no way I could be as pretty as you! Like, seriously! It must be magic or something, or maybe good genes, but... you're really enchantingly pretty.

[ Ah. She smiles softly with that, then looks away from the feed for a moment. She's a little embarrassed to make eye contact.

Looks like she's really bad at avoiding the charm skill-shot... ]

[D'aaw, how cute. And yay for stroking her ego.]

Why thank you!~

I am one of a kind, after all.
