[feeling homesick?]
Who: the student body
When: October 9
Where: anywhere outside!
What: set fire to the rain
Warnings: some people might get chewed on by a fox
[On the morning of October 9th, a bright, almost ethereal glow flares from the rooftop]
[It lasts but a few seconds and can be seen from anywhere outside, as well as through the windows of the school. though it dissipates quickly, small bursts of light remain scattered in the sky, slowly floating down to the earth below. they are. . .]
[. . . small tongues of blue fire? they dance in the air like playful sprites, wiggling this way and that, inviting you closer with their whimsical shimmies. should you get too close to these sprites, you will hear a familiar voice echoing in your head. it is the voice of someone very close to you! someone you cared for. someone you once loved very, very much. someone you miss. someone you would do anything to see again]
[touch these tongues of blue flame, and that same person will appear before you, smiling with their hand extended. you will feel compelled to take it, almost as if you are in a trance. almost as if you cannot resist]
[the apparitions of your loved ones will attempt to guide you into the forest. characters who touch the flames will be reduced to a dreamlike state and compelled to follow them. this trance can be broken by another character with either a) a solid punch/stab/any kind of inflicted pain or b) a kiss. this knowledge is not known ICly, so you better get to experimenting!! if the trance is broken, the apparition will vanish in a whirlwind of blue fire with an irritated shriek, leaving nothing behind but a sense of loss and forlorn longing in the character who was affected]
[should a character's trance not be broken before they reach the woods. . . well. the apparition of their loved one will smile wickedly as it sprouts blue fox ears and three fluffy, blue tails at its back. its eyes will turn white, its teeth sharp, as its entire body shifts and morphs into a four-legged kitsune with blue fur and white-socked feet. the trance will be broken right as it attacks, as it attempts to sink teeth into its victim's neck and tear them limb from limb. whoops! looks like you got suckered into a miniboss fight!]
[the kitsune are pretty quick on their feet! they are difficult to hit, and their bites hurt, leaving an icy-hot sensation crawling across the skin at the site of the wound. they cannot be killed, but they can be injured with typical weapons (their blood oozes dark black), and they tend to balk when faced with more than one opponent. if you have a friend with you to fend them off, they are more likely to flee than not, curling up into balls of fur and popping out of existence with a bright blue spark of heat. the buddy system will be invaluable here!]

this doesn't... it can't be... but...
she wants it to be. ]
no subject
he sticks close behind. it's not good that they're touching; it doesn't give him much room to intervene if her 'grandfather' tries something. but he doubts he could get between them at the moment. ]
no subject
Kairos, for his part, does not "try" anything. he doesn't have to. he's just pulling her towards the forest—with perhaps a single, keen, fox-eyed glance at sqq over Severine's shoulder as they go.
not far now. ]

the forest's edge: Kairos smiles a horrible smile, and Severine—gasps. steps back.
it's too late. the kitsune pulls itself out of her grandfather's skin and lunges for her to make up for the distance gained by her recoil. ]
no subject
the recoil gives him just enough room to throw the knife at the fox, rushing in and already pulling out a second knife. he still might not have the space to get between them but he can stab at its side ]
no subject
and still, no useful magic at her fingers, so she is jolting to the side, away from the fox, as Kongxu sprints in. ]

no subject
Severine, staggered, finches and fumbles her own dagger from her skirt pocket. but Kongxu has already done the work—it veers its head at her, then back to him, then deems the task too tall and twists away in a pop of foxfire. ]
no subject
Out of the woods.
