Open Bar Fight † courage, raw courage

The chill embodying this time of year on the ground was delightful for her, while the other species she saw were mostly bundled up the short female was clothed in a simple black dress that tied secure around her neck, left her back open and didn't even go beneath her knees. Jiyu was perfectly comfortable, but she did grow up in sub zero temperatures this was a good 'summer' day for her. Adventuring on the ground had something to be said about it, so much more in depth than sketching what she saw from thousands of feet above the ground out of sight of others. Beside the girl a notebook and pencil hovered, the telekinetically controlled devices drawing down what she was seeing around her as she looked wildly around at the new playground of knowledge around her. Even if she had been raised in a pack twisted beyond the recognition of others? Nothing could take away the love her entire bred held for developing their intelligence of the world further. 


In her exploration the short flurry was suddenly stopped by a big burly man in a uniform as she tried to wander into a building that seemed to be some sort of bar, something she'd only got to see from a distance for the longest time. "Show me your ID, there's no way your old enough to drink." Jiyu looked at him with her blank face, internally slightly confused as she was very mature for her species, one of the oldest in her pack as hatchlings matured to 'grown' within the first two years after their birth. Of course, quickly she remembered that civilization had different rules from the wild way she lived, so she observed the area around her, looking at what she guessed were the ID's of people who had just gotten in. From her quick information collection? Jiyu deemed that an ID was something one removed from a hidden location on their person to prove they were old enough to enter somewhere, clearly being a wild flurry she lacked it but what did she need a solid item for when she had her mental powers. "Here's my ID, I think you'll find your mistaken sir." she reached her hand down her dress using her mental illusions to make him think she had actually pulled something out, showing it to him nudging his brain to help her construct the proper illusion to gain entrance. "Sorry Ma'm, my mistake." stoic expression she was glad it had worked, walking past him with her book following after her.

Now that she had gained entry, the girl spent the next few minutes just wandering around inside the cramped building. When compared to the open freedom of the skies she flew? This place was miserable, but when considered as an experience that one could not find in her world, it was perfect. The only hitch was her years of seclusion among her own kind prevent her from realizing how much she stood out in this dreary location considering her dress was the only darkness on her, the rest of her white as snow nearly enough to glow. Empty blue-green eyes occasionally met the gaze of those who stared at her, detecting faint mumbles through her ear plugs and smelling their desperation faintly through her nose plugs. The sound of shattering glass was enough to make her flinch slightly even through her dampening objects, causing her to quickly turn towards it. Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Jiyu used her conjuration in reverse to send the notes she had taken home so that no one would steal them. While the daily misery of people was not valued by many? The information she had collected was priceless to species like hers that still lived in seclusion. 

"Impressive." she ignored the man slammed into the ground in favor of taking the seat next to the man who had clearly done the slamming, sensing now that this was a disagreement instead of a real fight she summoned her book back into her lap, pencil in hand. "You should go home while you can, disturbing someone's night is never a good idea. Less so when a someone who doesn't know if murder is legal or not is in the crowd." as she spoke the girl started sketching Dalliance not that she knew his name, yet, but he was interesting to her for the moment. "On the other hand, you're interesting. I'm Jiyu Kusari and I'd like to know whatever you can tell me about yourself or your species." she could find someone else for customs and laws, he just seemed interesting on a simple level.  "And I wasn't insulting you or suggesting you don't know laws, I'm the one who doesn't know." didn't need her newest interest to think she was trying to mock him, when she just wanted whatever knowledge she could get from him. 

Considering she knew nothing about cities this huge and very little about anything else about the civilizations of other species? Almost anything she did here was going to seem odd to the creatures already living here who knew what they were doing. Even her stoic expression couldn't hide the fact she was entirely foreign. Luckily considering who she had chosen to seat herself next to, most of the staring at her remarkably pure form in the dirty bar, ceased, no one really wanted to get mistaken for staring at Dalliance likely. It would be a nice bonus if she had realized the staring in the first place, but she hadn't there had been no reason for her to deem it important as nothing had smelled hostile expect for the fight he had ended.

Listening to him give thanks, she couldn't tell anything about what he was thinking due to the sheer level of 'lazy' in his body and voice, which was not unusual for her but it was annoying. Sure, she could read his mind if she really needed to but that was no fun it was far better to obtain the knowledge from his mouth, there was something to be found in how someone verbally presented what they chose to reveal. Share the same information she had asked for with him? Jiyu placed her chin on one slender hand, thinking briefly, her hand fiddling with her pen and writing without her even having to think about it. Could she actually go that far, it was one thing to share select information about herself, but about her whole species which had a cowardly population and reasons to be hunted, it didn't exactly seem right. Oh well, she was more hardened than others of her kind so she was going to do it to obtain the knowledge she wanted, just to be careful how she worded things. His recounting was excellent, easy enough to follow her notes as well, a few sketches of animals and cemetery stones filling the bottom of the page aided by a second pencil she summoned and controlled with her telekinesis. Near the end of his recounting, the girl decided to switch entirely to her telekinetic abilities for note taking, releasing the pencil from her hand, masterfully controlling two pencils to do two different things without even seeming to look at them.

He was done and it was her turn, if she wanted to get anything else out of him she'd need to do this. "I'll try to explain best I can but from what I gathered when I arrived my kind have faded to the realm of not being confirmed to exist anymore, or myth for most other species if they know about us at all and everyone of my kind expect me would prefer to stay there as we're extremely reclusive." the reaction of a teacher from the school let her know the significance to a scholar of her being around and quickly poking around let her find most species index books didn't have her kind or had very small questioning pages due to the sheer amount of time they'd spent in hiding. "We're called Flurry a species originated from before the ancient war, at the time we lived somewhat close to other species and regularly interacted to learn about them or help guide them through difficult terrain few knew how to cross besides we who had studied it for nothing more than gaining the knowledge." it must have been nice to live back than, but she didn't even think any of those Flurry were still alive and from the sketches she had seen in a history tome they had changed over the years to a somewhat noticeable degree to adapt to going into hiding. "Flurry hoard knowledge collectively what a single member collects is stored in a library common to its pack and packs often share. We used to share with other species but when the ancient wars started my kind disliked the idea of the knowledge we collected peacefully being used for violence so we started refusing to share, it wasn't long after that other species started hunting and killing us rapidly to steal what we collected, eliminating whole packs at a time as there was no other way to get us to give it up." the effect left on her kind by the actions taken during those first wars? Could still be seen clearly to this day, so many times having seen that her kind saw other species as nothing more than monsters under the bed at best if not the devil itself. "For centuries we've lived in locations considered by other species to be uninhabitable, next to impossible to traverse, or as far away as we could get, in order to avoid other species, erasing their memories when they did find us. We also don't resemble humans normally, though clearly we can transform, normally our bodies are draconic in appearance and most of us only ever fly in or above the clouds." Jiyu was actually fairly sure if the others back on dorahiln's spine could see her they would flinch at the body she had chosen to take on while she was down here waiting for her wing to recover and trying to outrun death. "I was flying to make another map, soaring too low, when the stupid bells of this city rang disorienting me enough to cause a crash which broke one of my wings, leaving me trapped until it heals. Of course, I'll likely never leave this place, the oxygen level will likely claim my life before my wing recovers so I'm getting the most I can out of this place." he was undead and she was dying it was actually kinda ironic this was the first person she found truly interesting. 

Glancing in front of her at the wall, she conjured a bottle of wine she knew the location of and popped the top off it taking a small sip from the bottle. "After living so high for so long, were there isn't enough oxygen to really support any species besides mine, being down here feels smothering." hopefully she could find some way to cheat the oxygen requirement but until than, they were the duo of undead and slowly suffocating on oxygen.
