The Path Under the Moon (DTM/Openish)

[Kira]

OOC: Takes place on the 20th, the full moon. Members of The Daughters of the Triple Moon who want to take part, can also be open to anyone interested in having their chars join DTM/or just interested in the full moon ritual.

Kira stared at the mirror, she felt a little nervous this time around. There was supposed to be more people this time. Last month it had just been Dru and herself. It had been way too last minute last month, her mind was behind on what the dates were and what the moon phase was. Damn Shadow Realm. She didn't notice any movement from her shadow, thank the goddess. And no images of Warrior in the mirror. She didn't want that ***** hitting people during the ritual.

She pulled the golden chain strap up onto her shoulder and stood up. She wasn't sure if she could get used to wearing this white light fabric outfit, even if it reminded her of what she might have worn in the past. It just seemed out of place now...she suppose it was just in her mind. She glanced at the mirror again, many things may very well be in her mind.

"I didn't think you were the vain type.." the voice of her wraith said.

"I'm not.." Kira said, holding back the colorful words she wanted to snap at it for just speaking without showing itself. "I don't want...my other self getting in the way. I hope her lack of showing up in the mirror means she won't be bugging me tonight." her green eyes moved towards where the voice came from. "How long have you been there?" she asked.

"I just got here. I got your little puppet to go find something for me, for you." Marcus replied, in an almost hurtful tone.

Kira raised an eyebrow. She moved out of her room, heading downstairs.

"I'm tired of being his body." Dave muttered, he handed her a box. "But I suppose since its for you, its ok."

Kira looked from him to her wraith who had finally decided to let her see him. She opened the box and stared at the items. "Why..?"

"Your leading a ritual, that makes you something right? Like High Priestess, I don't know how that works. You should wear it." Marcus replied. "The bracelet, well...just thought you'd like it because its Celtic."

"I'm nothing of the sort. Haven't asked if anyone else wants to lead it.." Kira protested, she sat down on the arm of the sofa. "I'm not a leader..."

"You're not a follower either.." Dave said, "Just wear them. Have any idea how long it took me to find that?"

Kira sighed softly. She wondered if anyone else wanted to lead these things but one couldn't wait around for someone to do something or nothing will get done. They were trying to get DTM going again, this was just for the coven part however. They need some activities for the whole group. "Hmm..." she wasn't sure what to do about that just yet.

She took out the bracelet and put it on. She then took out the headpiece. "Thank you for thinking about me." she said, "I really should get going. Tell Dru to hurry up."

Kira grabbed Sof then teleported to the temple. "Figured you wanted to watch." she said, setting the cat down. She lit the sage and started to walk in a circle around the area then started to set up the altar. Sof jumped up and was getting in the middle of her work area. "You behaved last time." she grumbled. She picked up the cat and brought her over to the herb section of the temple. "Look catnip." she said, setting her down in front of the plant.

Sof sniffed and rubbed her face against it before flopping down and rolling around. Kira moved back to the altar and pulled over Sof's 'viewing chair' from last time. As long as she could see what was going on, she wouldn't get in the middle of it.

Kira looked over the altar, it looked ready. She just wasn't sure if she was.

[Alexandrea]

She was excited as she braided her hair and changed. She wore a smooth gown that was loose and flowing, in a deep blue. The Daughters of the triple moon hadn't gathered together in awhile, and Alexandrea hoped to see many of the faces she had been missing tonight.

She left the house in Willow Court that she shared with Kira humming as she made her way to the Bullwood station. The train was prompt, for once, and Alex got off soon after at Honeymead. It was a short walk to the temple and a pleasant night. So she arrived in goods spirits and was pleased to see Kira and Sofia already there and the alter already set up and ready to begin.

Giving Sof a scratching behind the ears, Alexandrea went to Kira and offered her arms out. "Can I get a hug?" She said with a soft smile.

[Drusilla (DELETED 1332)]

Dru wasn’t sure about this time, this full moon. She had been fine when it had been just Kira, but she had an anxiety when it came to other people outside the small group she did know. Very tiny group really. Kira and her both shared things that one couldn’t just share with just anyone. She never felt this way when she had been alive, but stepping into the shoes of a vampire was different. She knew a lot of people didn’t like her, and she didn’t care. She said what she needed to say and Kira said that she didn’t say anything she hadn’t thought herself but couldn’t say. There was no home for them there and she knew she would always be that outsider here. She was glad they were in the Misfits, it was the only family they had.

She stared at the screen, the mirror like one with a camera that projected the image so it looked like a reflection. It flickered and she started to panic that it was she who was flickering. She looked at her hands, they were fine. It was the device after all. Maybe it had some kinks to work out, she would need to see if Kira had problems with the ones she had installed at the lounge for dancers so that vampires wouldn’t be found out, worker or visitor alike. She ran the eyeshadow brush over her eyelids.

“I do not get this makeup concept.” Nightcrawler said as he hanged upside down from the wall.

Dru rolled her eyes a bit. “Ask Kira’s wraith, the female side.” She said, getting up from her chair. She moved towards the door, she decided to just teleport there. She was in the front room, she moved across the stone floor towards the back. The movement from the ground caught her attention, seeing Kira’s cat rolling around in the herbs. She looked towards the altar, only see Kira and Alexandrea there, she sighed softly as she relaxed. She wouldn’t start panicking until others showed up. They looked like they were in the middle of something so she moved to the other side of the altar.

[Kira]

Kira watched as Lexy came in and petted Sof. Sof only stopped for a moment to enjoy the attention before going back to the catnip. She had her arms out and asked if she could get a hug. It was a long time really since they had been in a close setting, and Kira was still battling with if she really wanted to be touched by people yet again. Well that was David's fault really so she shouldn't punish everyone for his mistakes. Of course she snapped at Dave already as to not hug her after she took care of a matter for him. She wondered if she would always battle with it, maybe it was just Warrior's voice in her head.

"Sure.." she said, giving her a brief hug. "We do have things we need to talk about...but not now since this is suppose to be a pleasant evening."

Her eyes drifted over to Dru, "Get over here." she said, she was worried about her sister and hoped the full moon ritual would help with her flicker problem. "I do hope others will be showing up...even if three is a good number...well that's most likely just me." she said.

Kira wondered how long they should wait before starting, once the circle was done, it would be hard for anyone else to join in.
