Kyra

Kyra spent her early teenage years with a foster family. Her parents had giving her up because of the hardships of the hardship of keep her magical side hidden. Since she couldn't pass as a human, the warlock couple who ran the home kept her safe by keeping her hidden. She was there for a couple years when she finally grew tired of hiding and decided to leave. She's been moving from town to town, state to state, and country to country, ever since. America is where she eventually met Joshua. Kyra has been described as tough, and having a stand-off attitude, which is a direct result of the treatment she received her entire life for being a warlock. Because of this, she grew to be socially awkward and never really had any friends, though she did gain a strong sense of independence, especially having always been on the run.

“It’s a very small side walk - shall I step into the road and get hit by a car so you can pass?” she gestured to the busy road 

“How considerate of you.”

“I suppose they could just think you were over eager for the arrival of the celebrations,” she considered. 

“Do I make you uncomfortable?”

“Magnus is leaving.” She whispered against his lips. “Where does that leave us?”

“I know you are.”

“What’s our next step?“

“My apologies, I didn’t mean it to sound like I was telling you to do something about - I was just curious if mundanes had been saying anything to you about it,”

“Why would they? Mardi Gras 2018 starts in a week.“

“I’m just saying why don’t we stay inside, at least until it’s dark out.”

“Play it how we used to.”

“I thought this would be different. I allowed myself a moment of security and hope! Look where it got us?“

“I’m tried of hiding behind walls.“

“And your eyes?”

“We don’t get free passes like other warlocks.”

“Eyecandys.com and I have a blue and black pair from honeycolor.com.“ She repeated as if she practiced multiple times. “Get out of the stoneages.“

After the party || Josh, Magnus, and Kyra

Magnus shook his head, never stopping his hand movements. “I have intense protections up around this place. There’s maybe three people I could name who could do that, and none of them are mad at me.” Magnus stared at his hands and can’t remember the last time he felt this vulnerable. “Both of us were using our powers a lot tonight, we might just be tired…” His voice was distracted, and he began pulling out his phone as he trailed off. He sent a quick text to Cat and waited for a response. 

Josh pulled her into him close, and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “Whatever it is, do you guys feel strong enough to start cleaning this up?” He looked around the room at the mess and slowly started to realize how odd Magnus’s apartment looked. He’d bet about half the items were gone that would normally be there. “Do you buy anything? Or is it all just stolen?”

As Magnus panic increased so did her own. She felt safer in Joshua’s arms but deep down being powerless was one of her greatest fears. “I’m glad your confident about three people who are powerful enough to effect your power not being mad at you. That brings me comfort.” she said sarcastically. “I’m not tired, Magnus. You don’t need to lie to spare our feelings.” Kyra focus temporarily left Magnus to focus on Joshua. “Are you kidding me? I never had a hiccup before... What it is with this town.“ Blinking around her she shook her head. Leave it to him to pick at a temporary powerless warlock..

After the party || Josh, Magnus, and Kyra

He heard the crash from the dumpster, eyes immediately lighting up green. Every prediction he’d made in his head about a fight was flashing before his eyes as he ran up the stairs two at a time. Flinging open the door he saw broken glass everywhere and two unglamored warlocks. 

“What the hell happened?” He was already making his way towards Kyra, when he saw Magnus gesturing fluidly. He’d seen the same motions earlier as he lifted the now broken lanterns in the air. 

“I can’t do anything right now. It’s like I’m burnt out or something.” Magnus tried again to pull anything to him, regardless of where it came from. He thought of his apartment in New York, and the watch he left at Sofia’s. His cat eyes glanced over to Kyra to see if she’d confirm.

[giftedkyra]

Kyra slowly relaxed her hands from where they were protecting her head from the fallen objects. A full body flinch ran through her as she saw the contrast of her unglamored skin in her dress. The make-up she caked on looked like one of the bad make-up tutorials Dastan and Magnus showed her earlier that week. She could only guess what her face must have looked like.

She took two steps towards Joshua and grabbed his hand. She didn’t need to perform a spell, she felt weak and powerless. The basic charms she used for everyday things were disarmed too. “Maybe someone thought it would be funny to cloak your house? I don’t know if you noticed or not but you’ve just hosted a room filled with potential enemies.”

joshualonewolf:

Josh smiled and shrugged knowing he couldn’t lie to her. “Not my scene is all… What about you? Having fun?”

“No. Chairmen got loose and now a group of nimbles wont let me have him back.“

“What did we get ourselves into here?“

magnusfuckingbane:

“Kyra, my dear you worry too much. Most of the shifters are just dramatic and not actually ready to do any harm. And the ones who are probably won’t come because they don’t know how to have fun.”

“What can I say. I’m caked up in makeup and I have on a thong.“

“I am getting paid time and a half for this, right.“

[joshualonewolf]

On Magnus’s balcony

“Just needed some fresh air…”

[giftedkyra]

“Lies.“

@ his house

[giftedkyra]

magnusfuckingbane:

“Do I?” He winked at her and smiled. 

“Of course you can. Cat’s just have a tendency to be dramatic in every situation available. Even when they have good intentions it can be disastrous.”

“You’re the one throwing a party for all species. That’s what I call disastrous.“

@ his house

[giftedkyra]

magnusfuckingbane:

“No. But make sure you gently remind your boy of those rules as well.”

“Defending your honor will not be an acceptable excuse.”

“Joshua. That’s his name and I know you know it perfectly.“

“That’s sweet but I can defend my own honor.“

[magnusfuckingbane]

@ his house

“Welcome to the Magnus Bane New Years Extravaganza.” 

“Only rules are no fighting, no magic thrown in animosity, and no baiting anyone into a fight. I’ve invited all of New Orleans’s underworld so play nice.”

[giftedkyra]

“Wait. Are you signalling me out?“
