Inari has taken up residence at one of the tables in the center of the room. She's at her origami again- a way to pass the time deep in thought to work out her complex problem she will be presenting to the patrons soon. A war none may wish to take part in..but she has to ask for their help. Soon

There is a meerkat staring at those little origami pieces in awe.

"That one looks like the one Will's got!" he exclaims before he can stop himself, little paw pointing to the dragon.

[kinshou_kitsune]

The kami laughs softly, stoping her work on a bird to peek around the paper zoo to find the little creature that has spoken. Spotting the meerkat she smiles. "Hello there, my little friend. You have seen some of the others I have folded, yes?"

Inari beams a smile down at James before reaching out a hand to him should he wish to climb onto it. No use just seeing the zoo from eye level when you can see it from shoulder level!

[notthatpotter]

"Hi!" James nods. "I have," he says, happily. "Well, just the one, really. But it was really cool. I didn't know you could make all sorts of things like that with paper."

And he accepts Inari's hand, scurrying forward and into it. "How'd you learn to do that?"

[kinshou_kitsune]

Carefully raising her hand, she offers James a perch on her shoulder should he decide he wants it. "Oh as a kami I have a very long time to learn such things. That and the patience to learn from Masters at the art of origami." Pausing once she offers a warm smile to the meerkat. "It helps me to think when I have a problem to sort out."

"I know your voice, little one. How fair you this evening, James? Aside from being an animal and all."

[will_scarlett]

Will just grins at the assortment in front of Inari and sits down with a smile, he looks tired but oddly seeing all of his friends as critters and happier has helped a lot,

"Fair eve, Inari, I see ye craft 'gain. James loved the dragon when 'e saw it, made me wish 'e could 'ave seen it movin'."

(OOC: I have internet again but aim hate me.)

[kinshou_kitsune]

[ooc: yayz for nets! but boos for aim being mean!]

Looking up as she works on another creature, Inari smiles very faintly as she sees Will siting at the table. "Good evening, Will-san. James liked the dragon? Well then I will have to make him one." Winking she looked at the assortment around her. "I have pondered setting them free, but with the assortment of animals here I do not know if would wish to do so. Maybe."

There's a twinkle in her eyes. It has been far to long since the kitsune side of her has pulled a trick or two. Doubling the animal population in the bar would fall along those lines quite well...

[will_scarlett]

The idea of the origami animals mixing with the transformed patients gets a good long laugh from Will, he'd forgotten how good Inari is at making him laugh,

"Could be quite lovely an I'm sure they'd enjoy their new companions."

[kinshou_kitsune]

"Hrm..or the humans still left in the bar would seek my head. But it would still be a good surprise and I can be a fast fox when I wish to be." Again she winks at Will before holding up another finished koi with its reds and golds shining in the light of the bar.

"Perhaps..we shall see. Are you interested in adding another animal to your collection?"

[visible_sariel]

It's shortly after dark when something feathered in three colors comes winging in the lake door.

considering the literal zoo that the bar's become, it's hardly a surprise when the paper creatures don't get noticed immediately. that's not to say they don't; a glimpse of something black and gold catches bird!Sariel's eye, and she flutters closer. That particular fish almost looks like...

"Excuse me? I... think I have one of those on my dresser." Beat. "When I'm human."

[kinshou_kitsune]

Looking up at the bird, to blue eyes catch sight of the exotic colored bird causing the kami to blink. That was an unusual combination of colors and had to be what her next bird would look like! Of course this also brightens her mood considerably as she smiles at Sariel. "Oh you do! How wonderful! I hope it was not to much of a bother the last time they were alive."

[visible_sariel]

"I thought he was a patron, at first." If birds can sound sheepish, Sariel does. "And no, not a bother at all. It was very interesting."

As she's busy landing on the back of an empty chair--not *that* chair! it's several seconds before she continues. "I'm sorry. I don't normally look like this." That is to say, like the figure Inari's working on; if she were human, she'd be turning pink. Somebody noticed the colors being chosen.

Then again, if she were human this would all be moot.

[kinshou_kitsune]

Inari laughs softly, warmly, at the feathered creature she is speaking with. All she can do is give a little bow. "Oh there is no need to apologize, my friend! I must admit that I am quite pleased to see that you humans are enjoying your time as animals- for the most part. It gives one a freer sense to the world around you that most seem to rush through. Enjoy your freedom." Smiling at Sariel she sets one of the fish down and starts on a green piece of paper, looking at the bird as she folds bringing in the yellows, blacks, oranges, and blues that seem to be about her form.

"I am called Inari by most. What is your name, little one?"

[creator_raven]

Raven drops into a seat across from her, head tilted as he looks at the origami animals.

"You are so fond of paper, then?"

He pokes one, very carefully. It is a crab.

[kinshou_kitsune]

"The art of folding paper," Inari says with a warm smile towards Raven. His is a new face she has yet to see in the bar, "has a calming effect for when the mind has to much weighing upon it."

Careful, Raven! Keep poking at the crab and it may just try to poke back!

[creator_raven]

Raven grins, black eyes bright.

"You are so much for thinking? It is interesting, that, yes?"

This time he pokes an origami cow.

"I am not so good at folding, I do not think."

[kinshou_kitsune]

For a second where the cow's eyes should be there is something green. And it blinks..or does it? Is it's tail twitching a little too?

"When there is much to be thought about yes. And there is a lot from what you can see." With a free hand she motions to the rainbow sea of animals and creatures about them. "To much perhaps."

Tilting her head very foxishly to the right she studies the man infront of her with eyes that are just to blue. "I do not think we have met before. I am called Inari."

[tyler_marlocke]

Tyler watches the origami-making from a distance before approaching closer, curious. He's seen origami during arts and crafts before, but this stuff is in a league of it's own.

[kinshou_kitsune]

As Tyler approaches something odd seems to be happening around him. If may be just a blink of an eye thing or the fact there are so many other paper animals around him..but do a few actually turn their heads to watch as Tyler walks by?

It is quite possible.

Inari, however, just smiles as she works on another fish to add to the sealife infront of her. "Hello there, my friend. As your curiosity perked enough to come and see what going on?" Her words are soft, kind, and very welcoming.

[tyler_marlocke]

...Yeh, he's staying still watching the animals that just seemed to turn and look at him. Forgive him lady goddesses, he has a lot of survival reflexes.

However, he's ten years old and like many kids his age, he's curious. So he approaches and extends a hand to the white tiger origami, politely speaking. "Yes ma'am. ...uhm...are you making them move?"

[kinshou_kitsune]

The tiger reaches out a head, purring loudly as it rubs its paper head against Tyler's fingers. "In a way," Inari says softly, turning her bright blue eyes to watch the child with a friendly smile. "That and the sense of the place seems to help. It will not last long- a couple of hours at most."

Pausing again she holds up a finished frog which promptly jumps from her hand and away to somewhere else. "Do you see one that you wish to have?"
