(Picked up from here and with Dru)

Kira didn't reply to David any more after that. She didn't know much about 'that time of the month' but the man sure seemed like he had one, or rather some disorder that you were fine one moment and completely loony the next. She was so freakin tired of it. She certainly felt alone at the moment, she left the group at the Met as she needed a walk.

She headed inside the house when she noticed she wasn't alone.

Dru had listened to a rather upset David for over an hour before he fell asleep. She wasn't sure why she was having to play the mother figure to her 'nephew'. She looked up at the camera as she headed inside, having followed Kira there. "Ki, time for a strange sister talk.." she said, shoving her hands in her pockets.

Kira looked over at her, "His tantrum over?" she asked, rolling her eyes some. "There is nothing to talk about. The man is crazy.." she added, heading upstairs.

Dru huffed and went after her. "He's...emotional for sure. Something I know you don't understand." she said, she didn't want to say what he had told her. She knew the pattern, and she was going to stay out of it. But she was going to try to fix at least part of the issue. "You got to put the ring back on. It will make him feel better.."

Kira turned and glared at her, "I am not putting that ring back on. It means nothing, he forced me into this fake marriage." she said bitterly. "And what he said to me was hurtful, damn hateful. I knew he still hated me because of trying to kill him and turning him."

Dru sighed, she walked passed her and into her room. "Alright, where is it?" she asked. She started to look through the drawers. "Wait...where do you keep that jar of eyes..?" she asked with a shudder.

"Like I'm telling you. Now get out of my stuff." Kira growled, grabbing her arm. If she had to throw her out she would, she was stronger than her.

Dru pulled her arm free. "Just wear it on necklace, won't even have to wear it on your hand." she said. "If you don't do it...well I'll tell Mama to fill your room full of fadebeasts and you'll always be busy fixing this place." she said, work smarter not harder.

"Y-You wouldn't..." Kira said, eyes slightly widened.

"Try me.." Dru replied, crossing her arms.

Kira's eyes narrowed at her. "I thought you were on my side here." she hissed.

Dru shrugged, "Get to it." she said simply.

Kira muttered as she found a spare chain she had from her stealing and took the ring out from the box. She slipped the ring on the chain then closed it the necklace around her neck. "Fine, happy now!" she snapped.

"Only if it works.." Dru grumbled, "You take it off and I'll tell Mama.."

Kira moved over to a trunk and opened it up. "Here Dru..." she said, grabbing the jar of eyes and brought it right up to Dru's face.

Dru's eyes widened and yelped. She quickly ran from the room.

Kira grinned, "The only payback I can get right now." she said, jiggling the jar a little, watching the eyes float around. "I so should get some more and put them in her room.." she said, putting the jar back in the trunk.

September 27th, 2012

Kira was finally able to sprawl out in the booth now that David took off. There was going to be a never ending cycling. He seduces Wolffyn, Wolffyn takes of a limb. She sighed softly, looking at the new ring he gave her. The man was indeed crazy. The ring wasn't the problem. It was him. It was being tricked into an unwanted marriage, not even being aware of the wedding, the list goes on. Then he plays the game of, you have no proof I said anything. Yeah it pissed her off but she forced her mind to think of something else, she was tired of this game. She put the ring on the necklace with the other one, she wasn't going to wear any ring he gave her on her finger.

She about jumped when her phone rang. 'You can call my name and I’ll be a around. Maybe I’ll let you shoot me down. Cause you’re a beautiful killer with a beautiful face. A beautiful killer and you won’t leave a trace.'
She quickly slipped out of the booth to answer it. "Windy...how is the gut, the arm, the shoulder and your head doing?" she mused.

(Anemoi provided by his player)

Anemoi: Oh I'm doing fine, much better. Why don't you come to visit me?

Kira: Oh I don't think my friends would like that very much.

Anemoi: Hmm...indeed. You're girl friend there tried to poison me here.

Kira: *Pauses and raises an eyebrow* Oh?

Anemoi: And what was up with that guy friend of yours? He seemed awfully jealous.

Kira: It's a long strange story. But truly I have no idea what is wrong with him. .

Anemoi: Could come over and tell me about it..

Kira: No, I don't think that would be a good idea.

Anemoi: Oh I suppose. I have a feeling I'll have to sneak out of here, otherwise that David of yours might try to send me back to the ICU. We should play some other time, without your friends showing up. I promise I won't use that cursed stripping sword..

Kira: *Smirks slightly* We'll see...*she hangs up on him and returns to booth*

October 6th, 2012

Kira wasn't sure at first what these whispers were. Shaven-head people? Who the hell cares unless they were gangsters, then it would have her attention. Then there was the noises coming from a building at Gullsbourough. Curiosity got the better of her and she headed out from the Met, she was quite bored anyway.

She soon found that she wasn't the only one overhearing things. Other people were already here. She wondered what would be here this time, and soon a grin crossed her face as she saw gangsters. "Early birthday present.." she said as she walked towards the first one. One...two...three...four later. Kitchen knife, kitchen knife. Kira frowned, how boring. Not that she expected them to be carrying a nice weapon. A few more laid dead, cheap gold chain, then a nicer gold chain then finally she got a card.

She made her way up to the next floor. There were new people to play with up here. She grinned, so far this was the best night she had in awhile. She took what profit she gained from this adventure, banked it and headed back towards the Met. Her phone went off as soon as she slid into the booth. I always feel like, somebody’s watching me.. that meant it was Jarrett. She got distracted by the song, it didn’t fit him now that Dru no longer was stalking him. She would have to find a new one for him, not that she had found one about fireflies.

She turned her attention to the phone finally. “Yes Firefly?” she said.

“I thought you should know that Dave, and that one guy that’s trying to kill you, have been trying to get into your journal..” Jarrett’s voice said. (provided via YIM)

“Dave..? Oh…right. Thanks, promise I won’t kill them.” Kira replied. She hanged up and put her phone away. She wasn’t sure if Puppet would answer a call, and a text just didn’t have the tone needed for this. She sent him a mind message. ”Puppet! I’m going to kill you! Stay away from my journal!” she yelled, her accent becoming thicker.

Meanwhile Back In Front of the Computer

Puppet fell backwards from the computer chair. “S-****..” he said. He ran from the house and would be in hiding for awhile.

Back at the Met

Kira grinned and leaned back into the booth. She could just think of how fast he took to a hiding spot. If she really wanted to find him, she most likely could but she just wanted to scare him to death for now.

October 13th, 2012

Kira had finally gotten Puppet to get back to work on making her money. She needed a few more things for her alter but she was short on the money needed. She could only figure he agreed so easily because of him trying to get into her journal. He was still on edge that she was going to seriously hurt him for it. She grinned slightly, they would never figure out her password. It proved that he didn't know her as well as he thought he did.

She looked around her room (at the house she shares with Lexy). She needed to get a laptop for some of her rooms when she didn't feel like sitting at a computer chair or looking at a small screen of her cell phone. She tossed her phone on her bed for now. She picked up the lip gloss that supposedly changed to your perfect shade based on one's ph. She wondered if that still worked with vampires, though if it worked on any kind of vampire, she hoped allurist would be the one.

She was easily amused when it came to things that changed color or glowed. She pulled the applicator out and used the little mirror on the side of it. The hair she could see flickered from blonde to red and back again.

"Don't be putting that **** on." Warrior's voice growled.

"Why don't you think of it as war paint.." Kira replied as she applied the lip gloss. She watched as it turned to a deep pink color. She grinned until Warrior spoke again.

"Really? And what war are we fighting?" Warrior asked.

Kira didn't say anything as she tossed lip gloss on her dresser before flopping down on her bed. She pulled her phone over, looking at the conversation going on the CrowNet. She wasn't going to get into the debate, there was no point. She was left trying to work out her own theory.

While she saw some point to the bounty system, to keep people from just going about doing whatever they wanted. Or else the past might repeat itself.

However, who said that this other wraith was any better? Make them flesh? What if they simply tried to take over once they got what they wanted? Vampires, wraiths, whatever. They all can have the same trait of greed, lust for power, and being in the gain of oneself. So the only conclusion she was comfortable with....was not to trust either side, at least for now. "War against the wraiths..?" she said softly.

"Do we finally get to blow something up?" Warrior asked.

Kira raised an eyebrow, putting her phone back in her pocket. "If the opportunity arises...maybe." she said.

October 15th-20th, 2012

Night 1
Kira grinned happily as she finished her alter but frowned as she started to learn more about these vampire rituals.

She stared at the strange symbols, these sure were not like any rituals she rather be doing. No, these were evilly confusing to her. And then there was the whole demi-fae in the circle. She twitched every time it hit and damaged it. The second try around the damn thing broke free again and chewed on her before leaving. She couldn't really blame it though but it pissed her off non-the-less simply because she tried the same ritual twice now and it was different.

The animals had mixed feelings about such things taking place. Tucker barked at the being but if it broke free, he would cower in a corner. While Sof went where she pleased, right next to the circle if she wanted but for the most part she stayed away. She didn't like it either and let Kira know this with a growling hiss as she flopped down on the pillow on the bed.

Kira sighed softly as she looked at her bloody arm. Well, now she could test her healing power. She grinned as it healed up. It was so good to finally have the ability to heal herself. Now she just needed to get teleport and she could get away from whoever was bugging her, like David, quickly. Unless of course she was mind blocked...she shook her head slightly. The man had seemed to have taken a vacation and it had been rather peaceful at the Met. Which meant Jarrett would hang out there.

She returned to the Met awhile later and had Puppet collect some items for the rituals.

Night 2

"Rituals that require heads..?" Warrior mused as Kira read what the new one she read needed.

"Guess that's why the magic shop...was selling them.." Kira said with a blink. "Why buy them when I can just go get them..?"

"Indeed..."

Kira sent a text to Puppet to come find her and to bring a trash bag, before heading off to find who was going to be losing their head. Gangster, blood thief, didn't really matter. They were going to die anyway if they met her, she just wouldn't be leaving their body quite...intact.

She finally found a target to her liking. A normal gangster. She slid off the sheath of her tonfa and quickly ended the fight. She knelt down and looked at the blade of her tonfa. "Not too thrilled about using it to chop a head off with it.." she said.

"What the hell is this about?" Puppet asked, he eyed the body a moment. "What's this about chopping off a head..?" he asked but then his eyes widened. He had been at that magic shop too. "You're a head hunter now? Where you going to store them!?"

Kira stared at Puppet, annoyed. "The freezer.." was the only reply she gave him.

"Ew...ew ew, I put food in there!" Puppet protested.

"Well go get me another freezer dipshit." Kira growled. She moved her tonfa down, it was the only thing she had to cut it off with. She cleaned the blade off on the man's jacket. She tossed the head over to Puppet who quickly opened the bag so it didn't hit him. She tilted her head at the now headless body, absent mindedly licking the blood off her fingers.

"What are you going to do now to the poor ********?" Puppet grumbled.

"Hmm? Nothing...just wondering what to do with the body. If to do anything with the body. Mean...no witnesses and now everyone is going to be head hunting so...mean the damn shop sells heads.." Kira said. She shrugged and stood up, grabbing the sheath for her tonfa and put it back over the blade. "Guess I can just leave it as that.." she looked at Puppet who was staring at her. "What!" she snapped.

"You want the head..?" Puppet asked, he didn't want it.

"Take it home, make sure that Mama's pets don't...well eat it.." Kira replied before walking off.

"Hey! I-I don't want to walk through town with this!" Puppet protested.

"Go play in the woods then. Find me some herbs.." Kira said simply and walked off completely.

Puppet sighed, "I hate my life.." he muttered and headed into the woods.

Night 3

Kira stared at the table at the Met. David was weirder then ever. Didn't even say a word to her, after being gone so long. Hmm...maybe she was finally getting close to getting a divorce like she wanted. She could only hope. Then Windy came in...tried to attack both her and Lexy, he didn't get far. Then he did something to Lexy's hair and kissed Kira. She had been out of it at the time, didn't react and by time she became aware of what happened, he was of course long gone. She shook her head. She doubt she would ever understand either males true motives. She leaned back into the booth and finished off the next drink that Dru passed over.

Night 4

Kira was out this night because of rumors. She figured she might as well go out by herself, most of her fighting was like that anyway. However these rumors were about a new threat in the sewers, but she just didn't have anyone to explore this with. David was a weirdo, Lexy was either out with Jarrett or some other friend. She was obviously the true social butterfly. Kira realized how few close friends she had, though she wondered if some just put up with her. And Dru...didn't seem to want to do much lately. This wasn't her idea of sister bonding anyway.

She was finally brought out of her thinking. "Why did it have to be the damn sewers.." she said with a sigh. It was her least favorite place to be which was why she made Puppet go down there to find her things for her. She much rather risk being chewed on by the fae.

She put her hands on her hips. 'These new play things might be fun to fight..' she thought to herself. She kept putting that idea back into her head. She had to see what they could to and if it was going to be a great battle. She finally talked herself into going down into the sewers. She tried not to think about where she was, just look for any bald headed men. She remembered some of the posts on the CrowNet. Lexy bringing up Odin. Well if Jarrett wasn't black he would fit too.

Kira stopped when she saw a figure, closer inspection she saw that the man did indeed have no hair. "Well, here we go." she said. It was a good time to test some other powers she had gotten, like blind. The man stumbled around, trying to aim his gun at her and when he did fire, it was easy to dodge. "Guns.." she muttered. Why did it have to be guns. She took out her secondary weapon and opened fire. It was easy to run across the wall and hit the target in close quarters like the sewers. The power wore off however. The hunter fired off a few more rounds which cut through her clothes and only grazed her skin.

She jumped off the wall, and fired while twisting in the air before landing on the ground. The last bullet fired ripped through his heart. "Hmm.." she had to wonder what kind of stuff this guy carried. Going through his pockets she ended up with a good amount of money, a gun, and some charm of some kind. She moved off away from the body after pocketing her findings. She wondered why they were done here. Did they like dark, damp, smelly places?

Her thoughts on that subject faded away quickly when she realized that the next person she saw...was butt naked. She blinked, "Well, its not David...wrong color..." she said, not to say this guy was bald. "Oh great, there's perverts in the sewers.."

The naked bald man must not have liked that comment much as he soon started towards her, Kira already trading the gun in for her bladed tonfa instead. Kira lashed out with a series of attacks but he dodged them all, but just barely. Kira growled as she jumped towards her target, lashing out with her blade. The attack did no good as they were dodged again, and she found that her enemy's blade cut into her skin on her neck. Kira stumbled back, her back hitting the wall as she held a hand to her throat, it was bleeding pretty bad at the moment. So this was the enemy to beat. Her next goal...

She was sure that he would try to deal more damage to her but there was movement down the way she had just came. The naked bald man took off. "Hey, we're not done here naked man!" she growled but started to cough. "Can't believe I just said that.."

Kira wondered off towards the nearest exit, the only thing on her mind now was a long hot shower.

October 22nd, 2012

Seems I need to be more focused. Windy comes up, attacks me...gets my clothes again. Though when he goes to attack Lexy, she manages to strike back. That's what I should have done but I was too busy thinking.

Anemoi says: "Sorry about the clothes my sweet *gives Kira a kiss before taking off*"

I think the man needs another beating.

October 31st, 2012

"My birthday..?" Kira said, setting up the candles onto the alter. "Three years.."

"Well aren't you a young thing.."

Kira sighed softly. "Shut up." she replied. "Unless you know when my real birthday is?"

"Those born on Samhain are quite blessed.."

"That doesn't answer my question.." Kira said, getting annoyed.

"It doesn't..?"

Kira tried not to twitch, if only she could strangle Warrior. She let out a steady breath, trying to keep her temper under control. "How does one honor the dead when one causes so many deaths.." she said. "Is it still the path of the goddess...am I still worthy of Brigit or am I more under the care of The Morrigan."

"Full of questions tonight..."But it does not truly matter. No matter the goddess, they are of the great mother, just a different energy.."

"True.." Kira replied, closing her eyes.

"And the goddess loves all...nothing you could do would change her love for you."

It was the first time Warrior made her feel okay about anything.

Kira opened her eyes, for others it might have been a time to think on those who had died in their life. But she had no 'human' family so she could only think on what was ending in her life but again came up empty. Nothing was ending, just plenty of new beginnings.

She glanced at the time. "Need to get going...Puppet said something about I have to go to the other house to get ready for the party..." she muttered, putting out the candles and watching the smoke fill the air.

~*~*~*~*~

The Party

November 3rd, 2012

Kira watched the workers go in and out of the building. It was a project she had been working on. It was far beyond her self taught fix-it skills so she had to sway a lot of construction workers which was easy enough, they were already cat calling at her as she walked up to them. The real problem was having to keep them under her spell if it wore off. Finally the time came and they were finished with the structure and she sent out to make sure they got drunk enough not to question what they were doing all this time.

She was excited about this but the building still had a long way to go. She took a stroll through the empty building, making a mental list of things she needed to pick up. As she went to head back out of The Triple Moon Temple but stopped when she didn't see the door she came in at. She closed her eyes for a moment, still gone. "Okay..." she said, maybe she really was going crazy but why wouldn't there be a door...it was just there. She took another stroll through the whole building before going back to where the door had been.
Still gone.

She frowned and sat down. She thought about how the fae were tricksters, maybe they took the door or least made her think there wasn't a door. "You don't have a damn monopoly on nature." she muttered, she picked a spot that had land around it. If only she was ready to learn teleport, she could just leave that way.

Kira sighed. It would be hours before she finally noticed the door back which made her quite restless. She headed to the sewers to find those new hunters again.

November 5th, 2012

(With Jarrett)

Kira talked Jarrett into coming down in the sewers so she could show him something. She just didn't say what. They had been walking around down here for awhile now.

"Girl, why you bring me down here. Nasty *** sewers." Jarrett muttered, he never been down here really because he could just jump over the QZ wall. He swore he was going to knock himself out by hitting his head, something little miss short stuff didn't have to worry about.

"I told you to wear some clothes you don't mind getting ruined. Don't have any get down and dirty clothes, Mr. Preppy?" Kira asked, her green eyes sparkling with amusement. "You know I hate the sewers too.."

"I was never Preppy." Jarrett replied, "But no, I don't really have those kind of clothes.."

"That reminds me...Lexy and I need to drag you out for some shopping." Kira said as she finally found one of the bald naked people. "That's what I wanted to show you. Can you arrest them for...well, nakedness?"

Jarrett stared at her for a moment, went from shopping to asking if he could arrest someone for being naked. "What the fu.." he said. "Why would anyone want to go naked down here?"

"Well, they are kind of vampire hunter people.." Kira replied, "But they have powers...annoying like the blood thieves. I'm still trying to figure out the whole naked part..." she said. She looked back down another path, "Oh look, another one. Now we got both sexes here. Want to go for the male?"

"Whoa, what?" Jarrett said, "I didn't come down here to play with the naked people." he added, crossing his arms. "How do they even fight? Would think the wiggle and jiggle would be uncomfortable."

"Play with the naked people? You make it sound dirty.." Kira said simply. "I don't know how they could get any training done...bunch of naked people...unless they got a naked girl camp and naked boy camp.."

"I didn't mean it like that.." Jarrett replied with a sigh. "You don't think they all train together?"

"Nope, males are pigs and visual. Unless they are monks, training wouldn't be happening.." Kira said, "Pretty sure they weren't fixed...go check."

"Hell no.." Jarrett replied impatiently.

"Fine, go take care of the female." Kira replied.

Jarrett paused, he didn't even want to look around. "I'm not arresting them, I'm not fighting them. Have fun in the smelly sewer." he said. He was gone in a blink of an eye.

"Damn Firefly." Kira sighed. She shrugged and turned to the naked people again. They were both going to die, she figured out guns worked a lot better on them. She ran and jumped up on the wall, running for a short distance as she drew her weapons.

November 10th, 2012

Kira looked up at the temple from the outside before stepping up to the door. She peered inside for a moment before stepping onto the bridge. She wasn't overly worried about the door disappearing again, she could teleport herself out. The place was a mess however. Her green eyes looked over at the stone floor, everything was done. She just had to make it pretty.

She tied her wavy blonde hair up before getting started on the cleaning, dust and dirt. Everything could use a good wash with just plain water. She didn't want the dirty water all collecting in the channel however. She sat down on the bridge and kicked off her shoes then hooked out a power sprayer onto the hose.

The grove wasn't ready yet, but the ground could use some softening anyway. She sprayed what dirt was left towards the back, down the hall towards the grove.

She looked around. Part one was done.

Kira stepped down into the channel where the water would be at. She checked the tubes where the water would come in at, making sure they were clear. She turned on the water and slowly the channel started to fill with water until was about up to her knees, she turned the water off and turned the pumps and waterfalls on.

She tapped her chin lightly with her index finger. She wondered if she should put fish in this. She moved down the waterway a bit and opened up the package of water plants, placing them in different parts of the water. She sat down on the edge with her feet still in the water.

Part of the temple was done. The grove was going to take the longest.

"You need some fire in here.." Warrior's voice chimed in.

Kira looked over at the empty room. She was right. "I'll work on that later.." she replied, before laying back and rested, it had been a long night.
