“Tokyo Angel” Kitsune’s Parade - Holographic Eyes | THGRP

Instructions

- Kitsune’s Pre-Parade - Kitsune entered the dressing room, looking around. She had never seen the inside of a dressing room before. Shortly after she had entered the room, in came her stylists. Before she even had time to say hello, they were already babbling like a bunch of jabber-jays, measuring her, and picking out clothes for her to wear. “H-hey!” She said, as one of them took her Kitsune Mask and set it down on the table. “That’s mine!” Kitsune was determined to get her mask back, but just as she lifted her paw, two of them were all over her with black dye. “Hey- what-“ She tried to protest, but soon she was jet black from the tip of her ears down to her paw pads. Before she could reflect on her new appearance, she was whisked over to a seat by a mirror, where she could get a good look at herself as one of the stylists started to paint her with gold makeup. Before long, Kitsune had beautiful gold misty swirls around her eyes, and her paws, ears, and tail faded to glittering gold. Now Kitsune stood, trying to understand what the people around her were planning. Just then, she found four white, futuristic boots laid out in front of her, along with a black visor in the shape of her kitsune mask. She slipped the boots onto her paws, and immediately holographic wings of golden blades waved out from the back of the heels. As Kitsune admired these, one of them helped put the visor over her face. ‘What’s the point of putting makeup on my face if no one gets to see it?’ Kitsune thought, as she felt something being placed on her back. - Kitsune’s Parade - Kitsune stepped up onto her chariot, looking around. Surprisingly, she was still able to see through the visor, which puzzled her, but when it came to making tributes pieces of art, those stylists knew everything. The chariot she was standing on was jet black, with a small temple, made of silver metal, with tall pillars, cut in half and hovering with golden yellow light in between the two halves of silver pillar, perched on the end of the silver railing of the chariot. Kitsune looked around at the temple, taking in the scene. Noticing that the temple had an entrance, she peered inside, but just then, the chariot began moving. Kitsune jerked forward, tumbling into the temple’s darkness, hidden in the shadows. When the chariot came into view, it appeared to be empty, tribute-less, moving only by the two white horses pulling it down the cobblestone road. The crowd’s cheers died away in their confusion. Murmuring arose, but just then, mist began to drift out of the temple’s mouth, and flow over from the tops of the pillars. The crowd started to cheer, as golden glitter clouds began to billow out with the dense fog. Suddenly, two golden yellow eyes appeared in the darkness. A gasp rippled through the crowd, as a golden paw stepped out of the shadows. Kitsune elegantly entered the sea of mist and golden fog, her wing frames unfolding like a living, twiggy tree rising out of the ground. Kitsune looked around at the cheering crowd, who were gasping and pointing at the twiggy wing frames. Kitsune looked around, and she stamped her front paw, as she had been told to do by one of her stylists. Instantly, the mist got thicker as it poured out harder, and it enveloped even the light of Kitsune’s mask. There was a heavy silence, as the cheering died down with cats shushing each other. Suddenly, a huge gust of wind shattered the veil of mist. Standing in front of the temple, wings spread wide, stands Kitsune, holographic, golden feather-blades filling her black wing frames. The same blade-like feathers appeared behind her heels, and at the edges of her visor mask. Her eyes opened, and she took in the dead silence. And then, an exploding tempest of cheering erupted from the crowds. Kitsune looked around, scanning the crowd. They were over the moon with excitement, screaming and hopping up and down, throwing roses onto the chariot. Kitsune smiled and bowed, spreading her wings as wide as they would go, mist curling around her paws and in between the blades of her wings. Kitsune lifted a rose to her nose, smelling it. “Thank you.” She said, doing a small circle around the chariot to show off her costume. “I hope i won’t disappoint you.” Kitsune only now realized the parade was over. Or so she thought. It was only when she turned off her holographic blades with her boots, and was about to remove her mask that her chariot appeared on the other side. There were so many people, virtual avatars running around cheering. Kitsune was surprised, looking around with confusion and awe. ‘Look at all these cats.’ She thought, looking around with amazement. She stepped forwards, cats cheering and crowding around her, talking all at once, while in the background some feasted and laughed, like they weren’t about to witness Kitsune’s death within a few days time, while festive carts offered plates of holographic food. Kitsune briefly thought about how ridiculous virtual [+]
