Day cruising (Open RP, Great Hall)

[serrulata.livejournal.com]

Realizing that it had been more than long enough since he explored the particular acoustics of the Great Hall, Kurama had grabbed up his guitar and made his way from the greenhouses to the many-purposed hall Not to be left behind, his imperialistic cat followed at his heels, sniffing at passers-by in a queenly manner. Finding a seat at one of the massive windows, he began to tune and re-tune the sadly neglected instrument, playing snatches of songs as they came to him, or as people passed.

Yukimura wandered into the Great Hall, seeking something to eat and perhaps someone to speak with. It had been a while since he'd spoken with the kitsune, and he was pleased to see him in the Hall. He took a seat nearby and asked one of the house elves to bring him a light lunch, salad and yakisoba.

Belophoebe noticed the Samurai before Kurama did. Knowing well that her pet person's hands were already occupied, she sauntered over to Yukimura instead, the look on her face something like You've been wanting to pet me all day, you know. Better get on that.

[elegantsamurai.livejournal.com]

Yukimura kept his chuckle quiet, not wanting to disturb Kurama until he was ready to be disturbed. He held up his hand in offering, allowing Belophoebe to dictate just where she needed or wanted to be petted.

The cat proceeded to rub against Yukimura's hand like he was the only person in the world to ever show her affection of any kind, purring like a Mack Truck motor all the while. Hearing this, Kurama finished re-tuning the upper G and looked up, a wry grin on his face.

"I hope you're up for a commitment. She'll be on you all day, if you let her."

[elegantsamurai.livejournal.com]

Yukimura chuckled. "Commitment? From me?" he asked. "I neither ask for nor promise it. But, I am sure I know what will satisfy a lady," he added with a wink at the cat while he scratched behind her ears.

"And, you? Have you been well?"

"Hello again, Kurama," Kaga said, kneeling so he could spare a hand for Belophoebe.

[serrulata.livejournal.com]

Kurama grinned widely. Still he hadn't seen hide nor hair from Hiei, but parts of the school hadn't spontaneously combusted since the last discussion between Kaga and himself, so he figured all had gone at least in some way towards 'well.' He played something a little more upbeat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqPcRAVUSwY&feature=related) and bowed over his guitar in greeting. Belophobe meanwhile tried to make sure Kaga kept at least 99% of his attention on her.

"Kaga-san. I trust you are doing well?"

[gourmetchairman.livejournal.com]

"I am, although your pet has decided she was more important than you." Which was unsurprising, really. He kept petting her. He wouldn't say anything about Hiei yet, he knew Kurama was a gossip and would ask eventually.

If Kurama could have guessed at Kaga's thoughts, he would be scowling. As it happens, instead his mun is giggling.

"Bel is under the opinion that the world revolves around her. She gets it from Kusuriyuri."

Having just enjoyed a nice meal (with plenty of marmalade!), Sunflora was heading out the door.

"Ohhh, I'm too full to dance right now."

[serrulata.livejournal.com]

"Alas," Kurama sighed with a smile, playing a sleepy little tune. "I do so love seeing you dance, little friend. You've been taking care? It's about to get cold again."

[omg-sunflora.livejournal.com]

"I know," Sunflora said sadly. She would pout if she had lips. "I hate the cold. But I can wear scarves, and go to the mangosteen grove a lot."

[serrulata.livejournal.com]

"Good. And, there are always the greenhouses if the grove gets too lonely." Or if A and River decide to have some alone time...

Boukensha had been adamant about two things that morning. That he would ride in Kusuriyuri's collar and that they would wander the halls. When Kusuriyuri had tried to sit down to study, the kitten-sized cat had sat firmly in the middle of his work and meowed at him, evading every attempt to pet him. Kusuriyuri sighed, allowing the kitten back in his collar before walking through the halls.

Eventually, his feet found the Great Hall and Boukensha demanded down to attempt an attack on Belophoebe that may have succeeded were the kitten not meowing the whole time. "Baka na neko," Kusuriyuri sighed, smiling slightly as he bowed to Kurama.

[serrulata.livejournal.com]

Kurama laughed outright, scooting a little to the side so there would be room for Kusuriyuri to sit. Belophoebe, up for any challenge, leaped from her seat and tackled Boukensha with little mercy.

Kurama strummed absently before settling on a favorite. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFVUQcrzX1U&feature=PlayList&p=5D30A1C53D068318&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=55) He played softly, only liking to play this one for Kusuriyuri.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Boukensha was up for a battle, though, returning Belophoebe's attacks as well as he could from under her, his ears flat to his skull as he fought.

Kusuriyuri sighed, sitting close to Kurama and watching the cats. He enjoyed the song. When he could remember the words, he sung them softly, mostly just humming with Kurama's playing.

[serrulata.livejournal.com]

He sang the harmony softly, a kind of wistful smile on his face. When the song ended, he set the guitar to one side. By then, Boukensha - who had fought bravely - was being groomed by a victorious Belophoebe.

"How goes your day, Koi?" He asked, watching the cats with bemusement.

A never spent much time in the Great Hall unless he had food to share. But soon there would be food-sharing on a grand scale when Hufflepuff held their potluck feast. So now he was looking at the Great Hall with a newly critical eye, trying to determine what should go where and how it might be decorated.

Since it was Prefect Business, he was wearing his fuzzy pink kitty hat.

He hear Kurama before he saw him, and smiled as he looked up and saw his teacher, the leopard cat by his side.

"It is a nice day for music."

[serrulata.livejournal.com]

"It is," Kurama grinned, playing 'I wanna hold your hand' because he knew it was a favorite of A's. "I didn't congratulate you on becoming Prefect yet, did I. Well done, kiddo."

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

He smiled shyly, ducking his head just a little. "Thank you. I, I am trying to take it seriously. Hufflepuff will be hosting a meal soon, a potluck feast for everyone. The other Hufflepuff prefect is Swedish, so we will be offering Swedish food, among other things."

[serrulata.livejournal.com]

"A veritable smorgasbord, I'm sure it will be," he said with a little laugh. Belophoebe seemed just as amused, though more with the tassels on A's hat. She stood at his feet, one paw balanced on his knee and the other batting at the far-too-out of reach tassels.

_{Leeeetle protip: Might want to use character names instead of Journal names here. just so you know ♥}

Kurama looked up with a grin, recognizing the voice. His fingers slid up the neck of the guitar in a blues riff. "Well done, kid. What will you do with your newfound benevolent imprisonment?"

(D'OH. I fail. Will edit and re-post!)

"Party, meet babes, study magic... and prepare for the guys I just ditched to meet up with me and the school." He scowls. "...From least to most important."

(By way of explaining the above)

Keenan walked into the great hall, experimentally maneuvering his other new wand and admiring his Hogwarts uniform, when he noticed Serrulata Kurama and grinned.

"Hey! You were that guy whose brain I hurt when you vetted me! Just got in, SO stoked!"
