Tahiri comes downstairs, cursing quietly to herself. The cells have been getting more and more full lately, and while there seems to be room for all of them, it doesn't solve the problem of what's making people go all crazy.

Plus she seems to be coming down with a sniffle.

All of this is immediately forgotten when she enters the bar proper-- all of a sudden her head feels funny, too heavy, and she's cold.

The Jedi reaches a hand up to press against her forehead, then stops when she sees that her skin seems to have turned from pale winter-white to... red and yellow and purple and blue? And her jumpsuit has somehow turned into something obscenely thin and covered in sequins.

"What the kriff?"

Tahiri is somewhat less inclined to shake her groove thang while she can feel breezes in places that shouldn't be feeling breezes.

"Good."

[tea-and-honor.livejournal.com]

"You."

She informs the Jedi,

"Should have several drinks, look around at who is wearing less than you...or wilder than you...count your blessings, and dance. Its a party."

[shaped-jeedai.livejournal.com]

Tahiri does smile a bit at this. She really isn't the worst off... and hey, maybe nobody will recognize her.

"Since I'm dressed up anyway I might as welll..."

[tea-and-honor.livejournal.com]

"Exactly!"

Mint Julep to the rescue! One for Tahiri, one for Ako.

[shaped-jeedai.livejournal.com]

Oooo, Tahiri has never had a Mint Julep before. She accepts the drink with a smile. "So that's all this holiday is about? Drinking and dancing and wearing silly costumes?"

If so, she knows a few pilots who would love it.

[tea-and-honor.livejournal.com]

"For most people, yes. It is attached to a religion, too, but not mine."

She shrugs. Ako, insomuch as she follows anyone, follows Inari and Del.

[shaped-jeedai.livejournal.com]

Tahiri nods, satisfied. "Sounds like a good holiday then."

[tea-and-honor.livejournal.com]

"One of my favorites."

Up there with anything else involving costumes, most things that have special foods, or any reason in the world to dance.

[shaped-jeedai.livejournal.com]

Tahiri takes another sip of her drink and smiles. Maybe another two or three of these and she'll feel more like dancing.

"I don't think I caught your name."

[tea-and-honor.livejournal.com]

"I am the Honorable Lady Ako, nine-tail Kitsune."

She dips a bow. Can't curtsey in a mini-skirt.

[shaped-jeedai.livejournal.com]

"I'm Tahiri-- nice to meet you, Lady Ako."

She didn't notice one tail, much less nine of them. There may be a quick check to see if she missed them the first time around.

[tea-and-honor.livejournal.com]

Well. There was only one when she started, but there are nine now. She fans them out, helpfully.

"Nice to meet you as well, deary."

Ako does not call people by names, much. Generally she uses petnames. Although only certain people get them capitalized and turned into the only names she uses when talking about them as well.

[shaped-jeedai.livejournal.com]

Tahiri sees tails and blinks again.

Earth, but with magic? Kriff that, she can't be human. Unknown species, then.

Well, she still has pretty good taste in drinks. The minty thing is quite nice.

[tea-and-honor.livejournal.com]

Unknown species, indeed! Rar!

She takes a sip of her own minty-thing and helpfully waves the tails.

[shaped-jeedai.livejournal.com]

And either the minty-thing has loosened her tongue, or she feels ridiculous enough in the outfit that she might as well make as big a fool of herself as possible.

"So, uh... why the tails?"

[tea-and-honor.livejournal.com]

"So that my butt doesn't get cold?"

Innocent, so innocent! Then she laughs,

"I am a Fox. Kitsune, Fox-spirit or Fox-demon."

[shaped-jeedai.livejournal.com]

Tahiri giggles. "That's as good a reason as any."

Totally new species then. Astral!

[tea-and-honor.livejournal.com]

Ako just giggles. Madly, of course, but she's a Fox. They do that.
