How many tails is too many tails?

The life of the woman known as Aiyana Shuer had been a slow one as of late. Sure, she had gone on jobs with others and gained fame and fortune, but she had yet to do anything for herself in the longest of times. The want of adventure was not one she had had in a while, resulting in her private activities rivaling illegality and criminal at best if one were to see inside of the large house she now owned. Jewels had been spent in large numbers to buy items and consumables for herself and others even as she threw private parties that no one was allowed to speak of before or after. It was after such a party that Aiyana was waking up from, no one inside of the home and only a massive mess to prove anything had even happened. The nine-tailed fox would use her frostfire magic to move, and burn, the majority of the mess in the large fireplaces that could be found in most of the rooms of the house. The naked woman would hazily roam around and clean the place, ignoring the emptiness of being 'single' for so long. It had been a few months since she had completely lost contact with Mao, having no clue where she had disappeared off to and not knowing if she was coming back, and in her absence, the celestial spirit had devolved into her normal habits of trying anything she fancied at the time. Drugs, alcohol, other beings, it did not matter at this point in time as long as she felt good during it.

Once the naked female reached her own, private, bedroom, and made sure everything was where it was supposed to be she would begin to brush her hair and fur until they were exactly as she wished them to look. The girl was in her basic form, the nine-tailed fox celestial spirit body that had been forced upon her on that cursed job she had taken a long time ago and was so used to it that she almost could not remember what her original body looked like anymore. It should have been something to be upset about, but the twenty-seven-year-old no longer found an issue with being in the one-thousand-year-old body, or older as she had never really known how old the original owner of the body had been, that could never really die. Immortality had its price, as she had to learn about outliving others and similar lessons along that route, but it also had its perks. Overdosing was never an issue, and there were no basic necessities for her to survive anymore. It was a dream for some, a nightmare for others, and normal life for Aiyana. With her hair and fur at optimal levels, also known as perfect for others, the woman would bring about the magical illusion of clothing of the normal variety for her so that she could remain naked while out in public. "Awesome! Memory, would you go and get the mail while I gather my thoughts and prepare for the day? I'm pretty sure there might be a job mailed to me at this point. Given I haven't done shit for the last two weeks other than getting wasted and party." The shadow faerie would do as asked, never turning down an order nor speaking up to Aiyana save when asked a question and would eventually come back with a small stack of envelopes of varying sizes.

Grabbing the stack gently from her pet, Aiyana Shuer would begin opening each piece of mail as she rested upon a comfortable couch her tails spread out across the three-person seat as she skimmed through most of them. Love letters, letters from friends she had met along the way, junk mail that wanted her to buy or sell a variety of things. The list went on for a while until she came across a fancy looking envelope with the stamp of the Magic Council upon it. "Oh? What's this? Magic Council has something to ask me?" The question should not have sounded as surprised as it did when it came out of her mouth, but the surprise really was there. Opening the envelope to read the contents would tell her that the Magic Council wished for her to go out and take care of an 'Obsidian' dragon that was causing havoc out in the mountains of Teras Ignis. From what she could remember, due to her time doing jobs and hanging out with Ardere Kasai, that area was out near Mountain Village and was the dominion of Infinity Hydra. It was odd that the Magic Council would not just ask the entirety of a guild to solve this issue, given their proximity, but the pay was good enough for her to want to go. She had a dragon slayer magic after all and was able to turn into a dragon if she absorbed enough magic from others to do so. The woman also had no issues with having to take down a dragon that had gotten a bit too big for its proverbial britches, though it would be quite amusing to see a dragon trying to wear pants that fit properly. That would be a LOT of cloth!

Not wanting to weigh herself down, figuring she would be climbing the mountain to make the job a little fun, the woman would simply say goodbye to Memory before walking out the door and making her way to the mountains of Terra Ignis. The time it took between her leaving and arriving at the general area was not kept by any man or beast, including herself, and the celestial spirit would find herself walking towards an inn that was at the base of the mountains. It was a place of rest, recovery, and romance if one really wanted to do such things where others would likely hear everything that was going down in the room. Aiyana Shuer was one of those people, but she was not here to do any of the things that the inn held in interest for people. She was here to do the job and get the money so she could blow it on exorbitant goods that would be used up or destroyed within the next few days of buying them. Would she find anything else on this trip? Maybe she would make some new friends, or find a recurring enemy to deal with in the future. Everything was left up to the fates as she simply walked past travelers that simply gawked at her as the nine tailed creature did her natural strut towards the very in so that she could touch the wall as a type of 'beginning' to her supposed long hike up the trails.

It would only be a few more minutes before she eventually touched the wall, her lips opening to say 'boop' as a single finger touched the corner of the inn before she looked up towards the tops of the mountains. It was a long way up, but she was going to do this! She was a dragon-slaying celestial spirit that could turn into two different types of dragon due to the magic she had within her. The Wizard Saint of Pleasure, and Ace of Lamia Scale, was ready to prove herself again. The woman's nine tails would move about anxiously as her mind traveled to the possibilities that the future held for her. Her mind wandered to all the creatures she might encounter, friend and foe, and even wondered if she should eat some of her elements as she went along. It would be the smart move to do and would allow her to become a dragon herself to take on the obsidian dragon a bit easier if she had to go it alone. The name of the dragon went along well with what information she had been given about it in her little request letter from the Magic Council. It was made entirely of a golden, glass-like, stone that held the properties of steel. It was pure golden colored and able to cut like a scalpel made of obsidian. Such a creature was sure to be a beauty to see, and Aiyana would be sure to get someone in the Celestial Realm to make her a portrait of it once she got back and spoke to the others so one could pull the memory from her mind. Hell, it would be even better when she got to summon it using her pet. The shadow faerie was able to pull any monster Aiyana had ever met from her mind and allow it to be used to fight alongside her. It was a useful ability to have, even though she always tended to go for Tom Ato the trash talking tomato demon. The guy was just so cute, even if he did get annoying at times, and hearing his food puns never got old!

Aiyana was just about to start walking up the mountain paths when she felt a sudden pull on one of her nine tails. This elicited a slight gasp of relief. One more for the fact it hadn't been 'that' tail and that she was not about to accidentally fondle, grope, or rape, some stranger that had wished to grab a sensitive limb for whatever reason they had come up within their minds. Turning to face her assaulter would reveal another kitsune. Well, this was going to get interesting, was it not? This other female was telling her about why she had taken the opportunity to do such a thing, after giving a couple words of greeting beforehand, and that was all she said up til then. "Well, that's a pretty interesting way of saying hello to a fellow kitsune! If this was any other time I would try and do the same." The flirtatious words would leave her mouth without even a second thought as to what they would cause the other to do. "But it is nice to meet you! My name is Aiyana Shuer, of Lamia Scale. Would you like to go on a job date with me?" She was, of course, talking about the job she was here to do. The woman had no clue what the other was here for, but for her it was another person to flirt, and sleep, with. If nothing came of it, that was fine, the chase was almost as fun as the end result.

And so the other kitsune would take up Aiyana Shuer's offer of a job date! Who knew! Maybe this date would end up with something more than a kiss goodbye! Not that Aiyana was in any kind of dry spell, last night had made sure of that. "I am indeed here for the great dragon at the top of the these mountains. It should be a cinch for me, even easier with you, and that means we can enjoy the trip up! Well, barring the occasional annoying enemy or rock slide that might try to interrupt the day." Lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my! Who knew what else they might come across as they climb these mountains. There could be bandits, robbers, murderers, dark mages, and even other beings that might wish ill of them while they were up on the trails. Well, it would be a good way to get to know this new female she had just met!

Tails happily swinging in tune to a song that ran through her head, Aiyana would open a hand for the other to grab if she wished before she began walking towards the path that would begin to lead them up higher in elevation. "Well, shall we? I want to see what is up there, and get to know you a little better. Care to tell me about yourself before I do the same?" Aiyana's other hand would reach inside her "clothes" from what anyone around could see and she would make sure that the materials hidden inside of her "pockets" was still there. After assuring they were she would nod her head as she began to walk slowly to begin the hike that she would never have to worry about tiring her. That was the joy of being a Celestial Spirit, she had unlimited endurance and would never have to worry about being winded or exhausted. It was fun, more so with other things, but would come in handy for the job she was now beginning to work on.

Aiyana was not sure what about this other animal featured woman reminded her about her most recent party she had thrown, but something triggered a massive memory from the night before. Why was she remembering it now? Why was it such a stupid thing? How high and drunk had she been that the lyrics she spat out seemed like a parody joke song rather than the original song she had been trying for? Beard Al Pacino, the parody singer, would have been proud with what the celestial spirit had done on the karaoke that night, but no one else at the party was likely to have enjoyed it unless they were out of their wits as well.

The house, Aiyana's house, smelled of cheap beer and sweat as the large mass of people continued on with the party she had begun throwing. Many of these people she had no knowledge of, the people she told to bounce for the party making sure they seemed safe enough to enter having her trust with how much they would be paid if all went well. A little bit too much to drink for herself, coupled with whatever she had sniffed up about ten minutes ago, gave her all the courage she needed to step up to the karaoke area and put up a song that she normally would ace with little to no issue. What came out of her mouth was pure cancer, though most of the people didn't understand what she was singing in the end, and was one for the record books if anyone managed to record any part of it.

The Song Sung:

People cheered, some laughed, others ran to the bathroom to get sick so they didn't ruin the nice wooden floor they were told not to damage too badly. All in all the thought it a success at the time, but what would she think of this in the morning? Only time would tell!

The memory made her giggle as the other woman allowed the two of them to actually hold hands. With that, they were off to begin their trek up the mountain, hand in hand until something along the way stopped them! Tails would move about, sometimes brushing up against Eris Sytry, as they moved. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well. It's been a while since I've hung out with anyone from Fairy Tail. After my sister left the guild when they went dark cause of their refusal to get rid of a serial killer in their guild, I kind of lost reason to go and visit. The way the guild you're in went is a bit bitter for me, I really liked the familial principals they were founded upon. But I'm wholly against the killing of sentient beings, so even them harboring people that do so keeps me from visiting even the ones I thought of as good friends." Aiyana's mind would go from greeting to chat about the guild the other woman was in. Until something stopped the two of them, which would likely be early in their journey, the celestial spirit fox would continue to talk about anything her mind could think of. If the Fairy Tail mage wanted to talk about something else she would have to but into the conversation and change the subject, Aiyana would not care if she did so as it was a welcome relief to have someone else bring up interesting subjects as well.
