Fantasy RP (Oriental Style)

[Cyanide Lips]

Her brows crunched up in confusion. "Pardon me, you said... Eat dreams? How is uh... That possible? I mean I can see the Avian kind have elemental powers and all but dream eating? And I'm Hinote Aoiro, this is my friend Rote, though since your a dream eater I'll tell you what we are. I'm a Kitsune, or fox demon and Rote is an Avian, this is his true form." she said, crossing her arms over her chest. She tried to think of how that was possible but came up with nothing. The piercing blue eyes looked at Rote for an answer.

The massive head loomed over Aoiro's shoulder, his head tilted to the side slightly to get a better view of the stranger. The rumble came again as he touched his chin to Aoiro's shoulder for a moment.
She spoke for him. "If you don't mind, he wants you to touch him. It's the only way he can speak to you himself without taking the long and painfully slow process of turning back again. So just reach your hand out. He won't bite don't worry." she chuckled softly as Rote reached his head towards Riku.  

[OokamiShiroi]

Riku smiled, "It's not like I'd taste very good anyway." He lightly placed his hand on Rote's nose. He shifted his gaze to Aoiro, "I am a baku. I eat nightmares, and rarely good dreams. This is the form I am most fond of, but if you would like me to take me true form I shall do so." He looked up at Rote, So you are telepathic in this form? I suppose it would be hard to form our words with that mouth.  

[Cyanide Lips]

Rote grumbled a laugh though he wasn't too amused. Yes I am telepathic in this form, it's a slight disadvantage when you want to talk to your opponent. But that is the wonderful thing about having Aoiro with me. So you eat nightmares, that is interesting. I never thought I would meet a baku, nor a kitsune at that but I have. I am an Avian, the people of the skies. Most of my kind have powers similar to yours, though we take on controlling elements through our will. Rote looked at Aoiro who was watching with a contented look, though the baku's question to her was interesting.

She thought for a moment. "Sure, and if you'd like I could show you mine. Since we're all similar here." she said with a smile. Her true form was a rather large fox, about up to a man's waist and having multiple tails though it depended on the area it is from. Aoiro was from the East, and as she turned to her true form, three tails were visible. Her blue eyes shinned at them in the sunlight.  

[OokamiShiroi]

"Ah, you're kind I have seen in dreams, quite often as well. Here," He smiled then took a step away, into the shadow of one of the trees, "Forgive me, but if I am in the sun you won't be able to see me." He shifted, into a form not so easily described. His body structure stayed much the same, but his face elongated to gain a muzzle and a short snout like that of a tapir. Long ears bent forward in attention and all facial features were lost. Instead a silvery jewel like oval appeared on his forehead and originaly pale skin grew a dusky purple with flowing black designs that seemed to shift as they watched. The kimono disappeared to be replaced by a more robe like garment or silvery cloth complete with a hood that fell around his shoulders. From underneath a long tail twitched, with the same designs that balled out at the end into what looked like a tuft, but no texture was apparent. Toes elongated into claws and his sandals disapeared with his kimono. He gestured with clawed hands that looked, as did the rest of him, slightly insubsancial, "Not something you see every day, eh?" They were given the impression that he was smiling, despite the lack of lips.

((If you're utterly confused and have a random "Nightmare Inspector yumekui kenbun" vol. 2 lying around, that's where I'm getting the imagry from.))

OOC: lol. Quite interesting. smile
BIC: The large fox looked up at the form in the shadows of the tree, her blue eyes glinted something along the lines of thought. Riku looked like a familiar cousin to the fox in this form, though much larger or smaller she supposed. But it was fascinating. "Very interesting, though in the sun you must be invisible then? Even more extraordinary!" she said with a twitch of her three tails.

Rote grumbled his interest, the red eyes gleamed with curiosity, and his giant head moved ever so slightly to let his one eye look the man, now turn creature, over closely. He moved again so both eyes were on him and Aoiro, who looked so cute in her fox form that Rote nuzzled her neck with the tip of his nose gently and then coughed out a laugh as she squeaked at him and purred softly.(Somehow she has the ability to purr, Rote thinks it's left from her human form) As Rote had touched Aoiro he left her a thought so she spoke for him. "He thinks it's unique as well. And as far as seeing his kind in dreams, that is but a dream yes? Many people believe to have seen them, but so little truly have in person. People here find him a rare sight and many are scared though he is confronted by persons wishing to behold his true form, only to be eaten." she hissed a laugh.

And it was true, those who wanted to test him by making show his true form were eaten. He had little patience with such people.  

[OokamiShiroi]

"It may have been, there is no true difference between dreams of memory and dreams of imagination if you really think about it. Anyway, there is a fine line between brave and stupid, and I think you may be getting most of the stupid side." His long ears flopped forward and his body shimmered, getting into a fighting stance, looking all of a brave but stupid fighter, ready to take on Rote. There was a poof of what looked like flame and Riku went limp, an illusion of smoke trickling out of his ears. He then stood up straight again, making a play at wiping at his robes which had gone ashy grey but went back to silver as he made the motions. "And really, I'm not purely invisible in sunlight, it's just if I changed right there it would have been hard to notice me." He stuck a clawed hand into the sunlight and all to be seen was the designs that played across his skin, and even those had gone to a smokey grey.  

[Cyanide Lips]

Aoiro nodded, looking slightly impressed by the creature's explanation. Her blue eyes danced dangerously when Riku went into fighting stance and he lips curled back a little even though she knew Rote could blow him away with one fatal blast of fire from his molten hot mouth. But then again she didn't know if Riku could be hit in that form.

Rote found this the opposite. When Riku was in stance he rumbled a laugh and opened his giant mouth, the heat from inside was visible in a large wave of distorted clouds. His large teeth seemed to disappear into the glowing red and orange colors of his throat, it was like looking into the lava of the lands he were born from. To Aoiro, this was amazing.  

[OokamiShiroi]

Riku laughed in reply, "If I had hair it would be going frizzy. Really though, any onsen owner would love that." He withdrew his hand, even in true form or especially in true form, he was easily burned. "It isn't hard to see why creatures resembling your kind would be found in dreams. You're amazing, like the personification of a volcano." The jewel on his forehead twinkled and his body language was that of great admiration.  

[Cyanide Lips]

Rote seemed to smile, his black lips pulled back slightly to reveal the slightest bit of his gums and the rest of his razor like teeth, he was proud of his kind and happy to be paid a ompliment. The red eyes dimmed a little as the sun shone a little too brightly on him. He looked at Aoiro and touched her shoulder with his nose to relay another message which Aoiro smiled and Rote began to grumble laughter as he nose went away from her.

"He," she paused to hiss a laugh. "Rote wishes to know if you'll ride with us? We had planned on it before you arrived and he would still like to. If your interested. He's a pretty smooth ride, for having three sets of wings that is." she said with a smile. As she finished her sentence, her tails disappeared and the kimono rushed out at her waist, the sleeves seemed to grow from the fur on her arms and the slight mane she had grew out into her fiery orange hair. If she were to ride it had to be in human form or she wouldn't be able to sit still.  

[OokamiShiroi]

The jewel on his head seemed to grow wider, giving the impression that that jewel was his eyes in this form. He seemed at a lose for words for a moment looking slightly poleaxed. He reverted to his human form, and in fact, his silvery eyes were wide, both in surprise and excitement. "Really? I mean, it would be my honor, but would you really let me come with you?" For all that the human form was only a semblance his cheeks grew flushed and his eyes shone.  

[Cyanide Lips]

Rote nodded his head. His red eyes looked down at the two, shining with excitement. His massive body moved sideways and then lowered down so they could climb up, though with slight difficulty, so he would have to use his slender tail to help them up if needed.

As Aoiro touched him she relayed his enthusiasm in her own. "He insists you go. Rote and I both. We would love for you to join us, the least we can do to repay you for the dumplings." she said with a smile. She climbed up with the help of his tail and sat between one of his neck spikes for slightly more comfort. The spikes were spaced just right and his neck had slight grooves as to act like a saddle between spikes. For maximum comfort when riding.  

[OokamiShiroi]

Riku grinned and began to climb up, his movements slightly uncoordinated. He was thankful for Rote's tail a couple times when he nearly fell. In the end though he made it up. With a courteous half-bow and an "If I may." He sat behind Aoiro and stared around in amazement.  

[Cyanide Lips]

Rote's head snaked around so he could see them both, his red eye looking at them and making sure they were settled and comfortable before he made any move. Aoiro nodded and passed him a we're ready message. But to her amazement, she could hear Riku's thoughts and wondered if the three of them could have group conversations like this. Hey Riku, can you hear this? I can hear your thoughts, but how is it possible? she said, a brow raised.

Rote chuckled and smoke rose from his nostrils. Because you both are touching me. That's why. Rote said to them both. But as he did so, his crouch became lower and his tail whipped behind his haunches giving him a wind up before he shot into the sky, all three sets of wings flapping with a soft, hollow whooshing noise. Aoiro let her hair flow in the breeze, her eyes closed against the sunlight. It felt great to be in the sky once more. Rote's body seemed to do a gentle up down motion like a dolphin's swimming, up down, up down right in time with his wings. His tail stayed still behind him, just streaming out to give him direction. What do you think Riku?  

[OokamiShiroi]

Riku was utterly speechless. Even his thoughts had seemed to halt when Rote had jumped into the sky. That is, until Aoiro's hair slapped him in the face, then he laughed in amazement. This is wonderful! He thought at both of them, Like a dream but better. Though it is a good thing that I'm not scared of hights. He stared down at the country side, then at the clouds around them, his face glowing even when he was dodging Aoiro's hair.  

[Cyanide Lips]

Aoiro laughed brightly, she smiled and contained her hair for Riku, apologizing with a slight blush. She loved feeling the breeze rush past her. Hey blue eyes squinted once more against the sun as Rote climbed the clouds, resting for a moment on one and then shoving off into the right. He looked back at them slightly, the up and down movement of his body following it's pattern smoothly.

It is wonderful is it not? Rote growled from ahead and he let loose a very loud roar. Though it was unique to him, because each Avian had his own unique ending to their call. His ended off like an eagle's call, but twisted at the ending to a grumble. He told them to hold on, and he tucked his wings in to do a barrel roll in the air, diving through a cloud and then tunneling out beginning the up and down motion once more as he leveled.
