“Oh... It’s that time already, huh...?”

The fireworks christening the first night sky.of the new year. Absorbed in work, Kirigiri was blissfully unaware of the slowly prominent change of decade until it was written in the space above her. She leans back in the office chair in her study with a stretch.

Of course, the passage of time can be despair inducing. There’s no more precious resource, after all. But thinking optimistically, it also can bring a new slate. Leave behind the despair of yesterday and look forward to a new future brimming hope. With all the new faces she’s met, the sinking despair of her sudden arrival here seems less... intense. A small smile graced her now softened face, eyes wandering out the window.

“...I’ll keep fighting for our future. I hope wherever you are, you will too.”

After a short bout of daydreaming, her face dropped back into it’s mask and she spun around, back into her notes. Back to work.

Kirigiri nearly dropped her tea when she saw it.

Ever since her first incursion into the Fortunitea, Kirigiri has slowly become a regular to the establishment, the Lavender Tea becoming something of a comfort food to her.

What wasn’t comfortable, however, was the glimmering, floating, leotard wearing gentleman who’d just entered the store as if nothing was amiss. She couldn’t help but stare at the figure. This crown-wearing long-haired figure glided -- no, that wasn’t a play on words, fucking glided over to the front counter and ordered something that Kirigiri was too gobsmacked to decipher. The counterhand gave a bit of an odd glance but soon got over it, and the flying anomaly took a seat (using the phrase liberally) nearby.

Kirigiri lowered the cup from her mouth, stone faced. Behind this mask however, she was anything but.

Is this normal?! What’s causing him move so... efficiently? Is that even a human?! This... This needs clarification...

After ensuring the liquid she was drinking wasn’t some form of hallucinogenic, she stole a glance at the figure. Calm down, Kyoko. Show no discomfort...

“...You come here often?” While the delivery was spot on, the question lacked creativity. She continued to sip her tea as if all were fine in the world.

“Fortune-telling takes a lot of skill for mages to use: more powerful ones can fortell more of the future more easily, and I am still learning how to slowly progress with my powers. Even then, the future is such an uncertain thing: our actions here and now, even if the slightest, can change it. ‘A butterflies wings can cause a storm out at sea’ or however that goes: so if it is a fortune unappreciated, one can still change it if they try hard…” “Whatever it may be, however, I do hope that worrying situation isn’t all the lays ahead, you know…?” That thoughtful musing which he hoped would still any concerns after such a worrying fortune aside, he nodded and would accept the payment, making another lavender tea slow and steadily as before.

“Yes, Chaos Theory... I see you’re well studied. As all mages would be, one would assume...”

Kirigiri watched Klug’s almost in a trance as his hands got to work, thinking back to the fortune. 

“Well like you said, I doubt anyone’s powerful enough to know the entirety of a person’s future. But such a negative foretelling is also something of a blessing. One cannot fight what one does not know. And besides, it’s always best to assume the worst case scenario in my opinion...” 

She trailed off. She still believes it was prudent to think so logically, but there was a steady recollection in the back of her brain. The old her probably would’ve finished that statement. But after all that happened...

“...or at least, keep it in mind. It pays to be logical, but you should always hold onto hope. As long as I don’t forget that little tidbit, I should be fine to combat whatever comes.”

It was something unheard of from a detective, one who deals in the black and white of truth and lies. But something about the atmosphere of the store made her feel a little more talkative than usual.

“...How about you, Master? How long have you owned this store? Are you a local to these parts?”

As response to this answer!

Her eyes glazed for a moment when she saw it.

She should be concerned. Terrified. Concerned that they know of them. That they know their likeness. That they knew her likeness at a younger age. It screamed suspicion, yelled mistrust, and yet... 

Her chest, it was tight. What was this feeling? Her brow furrowed in an attempt to take a defensive stance, but her eyes felt at risk of starting to sting. Her life since waking in this city was a rush, a scrimmage for information. It even started feeling like a fever dream, but... 

Her father... simply his visage next to hers granted her great comfort, joy and sadness in equal measure. And her grandfather... While not as close emotionally as the other man, seeing his figure was nostalgic and brought back memories of a time past when life made a little more sense, as odd as that sounds. The three of them, standing together...

She gave the globe a short shake. The illusion of a snowy world, falling by the three with quiet abandon... nothing existed beyond. Nothing to fear...

No. She should be wary. She should address this logically. She should derive what information she can out of this--

...just like a normal family. 

She held it close to her chest. Looked up at the fox-featured male who gifted her with it.

“I... Thank you. I don’t... I won’t lose this.”

Hm. It was a lot of heavy labour.

Not that Kirigiri would skimp out on getting closer to the truth. Just... A whole family, huh? That’s a lot of sculpting...

Much like everything else in this city, something about this festival just... smells bad. The announcement earlier claimed they’d ‘turned off earth’s lights’? Can they actually so casually do that? Is it a bluff to keep the presence of leadership? ...Is it a double meaning?

This is all flying through Kirigiri’s mind as she examines the face of a snowman closely, as if looking for nervous ticks. With a sigh, she relents. This is one of the attractions. And you get a reward from it. Reward... or incentive? Some of her musings are farfetched, but not impossible. But regardless, she ought to see if anything can be gleaned from this.

...But going solo would just take too long. Spotting a relatively physically-abled figure also peering at the sample snowmen, she decides fast-track the task.

“They catch your eye too, huh? Apparently you get tickets for birthing a family of them.” She looks up at him with an aura of intensity, like a detective on the job. 

“How about it? Fancy building one?” 

[chamberoftruth-blog]

> @freikugeril​ ♥’d for a starter!

The snow was a little... Deeper here.

Apparently there was some sort of attraction up around the hills of Mystic Falls. With the entire city, or rather, the ‘entire world’ being left in the dark, a good detective needs to investigate all facets of potential information. Setting an attraction up here means the city staff want people to visit the location. Or draw their attention away from another location. Farfetched, but not impossible. And in this quest, Kirigiri has headed for the horizon.

However, still being rather new in the city, her directional sense wasn’t exactly.... 1:1. She knew the hills were, well, this way, but rather than having a nice outline of the hills that one’d see during the daytime, all she has to go off is lights in the night. She’s too proud and defensive in this situation to worry about asking directions. Besides, she hasn’t had a good track record with the festival helpers so far...

Regardless, she feels that she’s lifting her knees more than she should out here... if it were a road the city runners would’ve made it traversable, no...? Then why is it...?

Alright, sitrep. Where are the lights? Right, up that incline. And moving towards her... wait... what’s that? Coming down the hill, is that... A sled? ...With a person on it?

Oh. And it seems to be headed right at her.

Kirigiri held the scarf to her mouth, trapping the heat moisture from her breath.

She’d not long finished her first foray into the “Maze of Mysteries”, which brought about the second reason for the lifted scarf; to hide the disappointed pout that had resulted from her ‘loss’.

She watched others enter and leave, examining their reactions and trying to gain further clarity into the maze though attempting to read what these people just experienced. There had to be a trick. Some smoke and mirrors. She couldn’t have just lost. And not just the maze... this entire ensemble.

Throughout her stake-out, she noticed a second figure contemplating on the sidelines. He’d also tried his luck at the maze, but seemed to find no more luck than herself. But the way he watched, the subtle camouflage he was utilizing, the scrying eyes he was looking through... He seemed to be a boy with similar training to herself. 

Half via impatience and the other half being grateful there seems to be someone else here wary of their surroundings, Kirirgiri picked her moment and wandered up next to him.

“They seem to like their darkness, don’t they?” She spoke up as if they were already mid conversation, just assuming he’d be on the same wavelength. “Not just in the maze but the entire city, too. ...Makes you wonder what they’re hiding from us”.   

[chamberoftruth-blog]

Kirigiri pouts slightly as she’s handed her consolation prize from the ‘Maze of Mystery’. As if the second hand embarrassment from misgendering the fox-eared man wasn’t already threatening to blush her cheeks, his prods and jabs threatened even further. Scrounging up enough pride from within her to keep the stone-faced mask up, she chooses to ignore the man’s tongue-in-cheek remarks and turn away, long hair rising and falling in her wake.

“...I’ll be back tomorrow.”
