Demon Festival

[Deskfan45]

"Huh? Okay." Sky shrugged, Reiko guiding her toward a stage. She looked around as she walked, not completely watching where she was going, but at least making sure she still followed Reiko. She looked up at the moon, shining a beautiful bright yellow.

"Ope, sorry-!" She gasped, bumping into a man. "Watch where you're going." The man glared, before walking past the brunette. Sky turned around, sticking her tongue out at the man while his back was turned, before continuing on with Reiko.

[dlamp]

Reiko turned her head back, noting the small bump against Skylar as the fabric on her sleeve twitched. She turned around, her eyes nearly deadening at the near-altercation she saw. Admittedly, the man in question was definitely being aggressive, but at least there was no further action taken from either.

Giving a silent sigh, Reiko tugged Skylar's sleeve, pulling her toward the stage both for a better look and to prevent a further incident. And now getting a clearer picture, it looked like a display event, girls showing off their outfits in a makeshift fashion show of sorts. Oh, pretty cool. She glanced at each girl and their outfit. "Hey, I think I see a few of the kimonos I helped worked on." She pointed to one girl in particular, wearing a light blue kimono with a series of yellow and pink flowers decorating the top portion. "Yeah, like that one." She noted. I seemed this was an open event of sorts, just get in line and let the audience marvel at you. "Hm..."

She looked back, giving Skylar a smirk. "Maybe you should go and enter." She teased. "Show off that kimono you paid for~"

[Deskfan45]

It took every bit of self restraint Skylar had not to flip off the man as Reiko tugged her sleeve, guiding her towards their destination. When the two arrived, Sky saw a stage with women in kimonos walking across for the crowd to admire their outfits. Some sorta public fashion show. Neat, she thought. When Reiko teased her, she tilted her head. "Eh, sure why not." She shrugged, walking off to get in line.

As she waited in line, she tried to think of ways to make her display memorable, make herself stand out and put all these other bimbos to shame. A mischievous grin spread across her face as she got a devious idea. She undid some of the strings on her kimono, loosening it around her legs and chest. This'll do it. When she came out, her right thigh was on full display, and if one looked closely, they could just make out her blue panties. The fabric around her chest was loose, showing a great amount of cleavage, and even her areola just above her nipple. The brunette smirked as the crowd wooped and whistled at her almost erotic display. When she stepped off the stage, she tightened her kimono again so it didn't come off and get her arrested for public indecency.

'So, what'd ya think?" She'd smirk upon returning to Reiko.

[dlamp]

"Hm?" Reiko blinked, canting her head. Looks like Skylar really was interested in joining the little event. And thankfully there shouldn't be any craziness happening during it so she could have a moment of peace...

Until Skylar started modifying her outfit.

To Reiko's relief, Skylar didn't completely rip or tear at the thing, only loosened it some to show off her body more. Showing off more of her breasts while and giving her legs further room to be seen. She looked more like a cheap prostitute than a festival goer really. "Wait yo-" But before Reiko could object, Skylar was already on stage and Reiko could only purse her lips in anticipation, waiting for the storm of mixed reactions and the possibility of having to explain things to the police for when they hauled her off the stage.

But... surprisingly, that didn't happen.

A mix of cheers and whistles rang through, a few gasps and hushed jeers as well, but libido seemed to have won out over decency. "Haah..." Reiko let out a relieved sigh. On one hand, it was nice to see the crowd gave a good reception. On the other... she could equally hear a few hisses and complaints from the other girls about being outdone by a promiscuous foreigner. And Reiko couldn't really blame them.

'So, what'd ya think?"

As Skylar came Reiko gave her a scrutinizing look, examining the outfit. The outfit Reiko helped make. And almost immediately she then pulled out a pin from within her sleeve and snatched the hem of Skylar's obi, quickly pulling the at the hem of the kimono's undershir-

"... ... ..." There wasn't any undershirt under there. "Tch," Reiko's eyes darted up, immediately narrowing as she placed the pin in her mouth. "Bend down." It wasn't a suggestion nor a request, and she quickly kicked at Skylar's now exposed ankles while pulling down the hem of her kimono collar, as if performing a judo throw to force the woman in the position she needed.

[Deskfan45]

Skylar raised her eyebrow as Reiko asked her to bend down. "Uhh, okay- GH-!" Before she could do it on her own will, Reiko forced her to bend over, kicking her in the shin as she did some work on her kimono. What she was doing exactly escaped Skylar, but Reiko clearly knew what she was doing as she went to work.

Whenever her friend is done, Skylar raises back up, rolling her eyes. "I was gonna bend down myself..." She muttered. Not frustrated enough to make an ordeal out of things however, she continued down the street, expecting Reiko to follow.

[dlamp]

"Quiet." Reiko's eyes didn't even look up at Skylar's, focus on the task in front of her. She pulling a loose thread from her own kimono before quickly snapping it and threading the needle in a quick motion. If she wanted to go for sexy then- Reiko's hands moved to readjust Skylar's kimono, pulling the sleeve of her shoulder back to show them off and quickly stitching the sleeves so they didn't go over Skylar's hands and look loose. Her hands then quickly started tugging and pulling at Skylar's collar, pulling down further to reveal her bare back. "For the record," She mused. "Kimono sex appeal focuses on the back, not the front. Geisha usually have a bit of their nape and backs exposed, along with their shoulders." She looked down at Skylar's skirt, biting her lip. "... ... ..." Her eyes didn't even look a Skylar as she held out her hand.

"Gimme' your knife." Without waiting, she shot her extended hand into Skylar's sleeve, searching for the hidden blade.

[Deskfan45]

Skylar bent down, deciding to let Reiko do her thing. She knew what she was doing, and besides, it didn't serm like she'd take no for an answer if the brunette resisted. Raising an eyebrow as Reiko asked for her knife. "uh, okay." She shrugged. Before she could reach into her sleeve snd grab it however, Reiko had already shoved her hand in and pulled the weapon out. Sky rolled her eyes. "What'er you even doing?"

[dlamp]

"Fixing this outfit." Reiko's hands moved before her mouth did, eyes focused on the task in front of her as she finally found the switchblade. It was tempting to scold Skylar for even having this on her, but there was an outfit in front of her to work on. Taking the knife out, she started cutting and stitching the skirt to properly show the legs. "... ..." No, that looks too tacky. Sexy it may be, but... some appeal of a foreigner in a kimono was lost, a little too western.

She cut the stitches, simply folding the skirt to a shorter length above the ankles before making an even cut along the end with the knife. "There." She exhaled, standing to look over her handiwork.

"Okay, done."

[Deskfan45]

Skylar wasn't the most patient person, getting antsy as Reiko forced her to sit still, only giving a vague answer as to what she was doing. The brunette's toes wriggled in her geta, waiting for Reiko to be done. When she was though, she would quickly change her tune. Letting out a sigh as Reiko backed off, Sky looked down at her outfit, and grinned from ear to ear.

Spoiler

"Holy shit, I love it!" The brunette cheered, before tossing her arms around Reiko in a tight hug. "This is fuckin' awesome! Thanks Reiko!" She grinned, before walking ahead, whistling. The sky was a dark blue, the sun gone from sight as the pitch black night set in. The festival was lit up by festive street lamps, illuminating the streets. After a few minutes of walking and making small talk, the two came across a Kimodameshi. Screams of terror could be heard faintly the closer the two got. A mischievous grin made it's way onto Skylar's face. "Sayyyyyy, think by any chance they'd let us in to make some folks scream?"

[dlamp]

"Wha- ah!" The sudden embrace had Reiko squirming in place a moment, blushing as she pulled away. It was more an act of reflex than anything, fixing an outfit the needed fixing came naturally to her, "It's nothing, I'm the daughter of textile works and all." She said, quickly steadying herself and moving forward.

The conversation and location soon moved to a small clearing of forest, a series of screams from it. "Hm..." Reiko eyed the sign and attendant. Kimodameshi. A trial of courage, the basis of her own special match series. But more than she noted the familiar pin on the attendant's shirt. The same pin she saw on Nanase and Himeko when they were out. Oh. Must be a Taishuya sponsored thing. She looked to Skylar, then back at the attendant. "Sure, I can ask."

Reiko then walked to the attendant.

"Oh, Rei-chan."

"Hey Dai-kun. Helping Taishuya-san out?"

"Yeah, wanted to make a little money here and give folks a good jump."

"Think me and my friend can help?"

The attendant eyed Skylar, looking her over.

"Hm... Sure Rei-chan. Just don't go too crazy."

"Don't worry," Reiko said, pulling out Skylar's switchblade, sneaking it in the attendant's pocket with a quick hug. "I know how to avoid trouble!" She smiled and bowed her head, waving Skylar over as the attendant handed her two hannya masks. "We're good, just take these masks and don't chance them past the red markers."
