Miyuki isn't a damsel in distress who needs saving. She's the heroine after all.

Now to sit back and have Lady Gorgon-Eyes go and fix this mess~

Then get breakfast.

Ugh, do I realaly have to help carry this lush back up to her room? She's heavy. And she keeps murmuring to herself. And she smells like dust and stale air... I'm a delicate flwoer, y'know? I shouldn't have t---

"MIKOOOON~!?!"

There was a sudden prick at her neck and a even more sudden embrace. But it wasn't a loving one. This was the kind of stuff those drunk higher nobles would try to pull back at the imperial palace all those years, thinking they could get a free feel-up when nobody was watching. And was this bitch actually biting her!? Wait... One moment... She was sucking too...? Ah, not it made sense.

Miyuki suddered as the sensation of her very own vitality was litteraly being forcefully drained out of her by this wretched assailant. While she now understood what kind of curse this woman was under, that didn't make the situation any less unpleasant or inexcusable. here she was, being a good samirtan, trying to help this ingrate, and what does she get? Bitten in the neck and sucked upon by a complete and total stranger! With who-knows-what-kinds-ofSTDs or other nasty she may be carrying!?

Apart from the initial shock, and comedically loud and high-pitched yelp she'd let out when initially nom'd on, Miyuki's face and tone had now taken on a different tone. While many may have been frightened or panicked, tried to struggle and flail about like a captured mouse, the kyuubi did none of that. Instead, she stood silently and waited for the parasitic pleb to get this whole thing over with. After all, with a grip like this, there was no way Miyuki could move anyway, she wasn't exactly built for physical exchanges of the muscular variety. Her face did have a certain disapproval written across it though.

Evnetually, the offender seemed to regain some kind of composure or control - FIANLLY! - and relinquished her grip on the fox spirit, staggering and throwing herself backwards into a wall. The kyuubi was surprised to hear the girl apologize in her native tongue, not that doing so would earn her any bonus points. After all, she'd just--

-- And there came another one...

This one was a large woman, with dark skin and very blue eyes. And now she was ... Growing fur... All over... And her face was distorting into a wolf's head... Alright, great. FANTASTIC! Yes, let's not complicate the istuation or anything by doing something like just letting thinbgs be, let's try and resolve it ourselves, by turning into our true form, and then proceed to start a rawl. Which was exactly what this emathead did. After spouting some self-righteous bull-honkey to justify her bloodlust and war-mongering, the mongrel lunged and leapt to attack the human-sized lamprey who'd just snacked on Miyuki.

Now, had this all happaned back in her homeland and her own domain, the kyuubi would'be been more than happy to settle this trifle herself. By, obviously, annihilating the two morons and sending their souls to hell herself. But, this wasn't her domain, and she - as she'd been told when first arriving - had to obey the rules and follow the customs of this place, just like everyone else. Except for these two. Watching the two get into a scuffle, the black-haired woman straightened and readjusted her kimono, gently brushed her neck where two small bite marks were, let out a sigh and then...

... Turned on her hell...?

Yup. That's right. The fox spirit left the two combatants to duke it out in whatever primitive primal primate-like way they wanted. That was none of her concenr. Instead, she followed the path that her beloved had traveled, and quickly reached the front deek. Where several individuals were gathered. Including the gorgon-lady and an unfamiliar ghost girl.... But now wasn't the time to take stock of the crowd. It was good that this glasses wearing snake-woman was manning the desk, rather than that weak-willed, feeble-looking human who had somehow suffered a nosebleed just by looking at her the first they'd met Oh, and obviously her precious princess was here too. But enough about that!.

"Miss Caretaker." Miyuki stated, rather loudly and with a serious, commanding tone of voice. "Two of your residents are trying to maul each other over by the stairway in this building. Oh, and one of them tried to eat me, I believe." She stated, rather matter of factly, while craning her neck slightly and pointing at the pin-prick-holes in her skin. "I believe it'd be a good idea to stop them before they rip each others limbs off." Her voice and expression was dispassionate and unconcerned, as if she was talking about something as unimportant as whether or not there'd been any unwanted magazines in her mail.

TL;DR:

• Miyuki was surprised to be bit by Velvet.
• Miyuki was annoyed at being snacked on.
• Miyuki watached Iris attack Velvet, mentally face-palmed and then left the scene
• Miyuki arrived at the front desk and informed Theria - and everyone else there - about the fight that'd just broken out

Umbra Rose Condos

EDIT:

Yes, we're still in Building 1, though some folks are at the front desk, whereas Miyuki and Velvet are at the stairwell, with Velvet trying to flee the scene of the crime...

"You think so? I've grown quite partial to that thing they call 'toast', so crunchy and-- Oya~?"

As the arm-and-tail-locked couple came down the stairs, there was a scene. An unpleasant one. A (seemingly) young woman staggering about, and there was a puddle of... What could only have been either blood, or really rancid pizza sauce, not too far off. It wasn't hard to put two and two together. Miyuki could tell something was off about this one - being a creature of dark curses and EVIL, she had a sense for identifying that which was similar or shared traits to herself.

Sadly, her little spouse - too good and pure for this world - quickly tried to approach and aid the ailing stranger. Only to realize a bit too late that her very presence here was only going to cause more harm than any good she could hope to provde. A sad, but often too true reality, for their kind. Sometimes, beings were just plain incompatible, like oil and water. It was waaaay to early in the morning for this sort of drama. But, she could tell by the look on Yumi's face that this was important to the golden-haired miko, and what kind of monster could refuse that face? Miyuki sighed and lightly shrugged her bare shoulders.

"Very well, my dear."

Soon after an uplifting smooch on the cheek, the priestess of the Fox Goddess had managed to scamper off and away from the stairwell and the crumpled person. Miyuki eyed her up and down. She was afflicted by a very powerful curse... A very old one too. it was unfamiliar too, which meant that it wasn't something native to her homeland - which made since, because this woman clearly wasn't from the land of the rising sum. Descending the final steps, Miyuki slowly approached the unfamiliar woman.

"Apologies, we weren't aware someone so averse to faith was living here." The fox paused. "You do live here, yes?" The follow-up question was far less cordial than the initial greeting. If this was some random, off-the-street human who had just wandered in and accidentally gotten herself cursed becuase she'd messed with things beyond her comprehension... Well, then there'd perhaps be need for even more curses to fix that memory of hers.

"If you have a room here, I could lend you a shoulder I suppose."

Miyuki didn't bother with things like introductions or other formalities. This wasn't really a situation that warranted that sort of pleasantries. For now, the important thing was to get this gunk-spewing mess-of-a-woman somewhere else so she could go and enjoy her breakfast. She was still smiling though, albeit the kind you'd see a store-clerk or salesman wear. A forced smile for the sake of appearances. She extended and offered a hand to help steady the poor thing though. Standing there... With her bare shoulders and exposed neck... And big ol' blouse-bunnies... Just waiting...

TL;DR:

• Miyuki and Yumeiko encountered Velvet.
• Velvet became sick from Yumeiko's presence. The latter wated to help, but realized she couldn't and fled the premise to alleviate Velvet's symptoms.
• Miyuki questioned if Velvet lived in this building and offered a shoulder to lean on.
