For this week's 
Thursday_Prompt. I've missed doing some of these since I've been so busy with other creative works. When I saw this week's prompt of Skin, I was reminded of how I made joke in the Ækerin University text about Kira calling people with skin (rather than fur, feathers, scales, etc.), "Skinnies" and I knew I had to use that. Originally, I was using this as an excuse to really edit all of text up till the third scene of this in the actual story, but I realized after pretty much rewriting every scene I had written, that wasn't going to happen. Kira's scenes actually ended up the most stable, so this is pulling out the first three of hers from the overall text. When the actual Ækerin University text is written, these will be intermingled with scenes from Felix, Rhelki, Ochil, and Kaj. Ochil's scenes need the most editing of them because I decided on some major story changes for him (originally he was dropped off at the airport to head to the university by himself rather than having his parents come with him to drop him off). Plus, I decided to completely cut the first scene I wrote for him where he says goodbye to his high school crush. While cute, it didn't fit with the overall narrative (sorry Elron, you aren't an important character) and really interrupted the flow since I want the first scene to be of Felix in the airport. Anyways, I'm actually feeling pretty inspired to work on this, but for now here's a taste of things to come.

Quite the interesting family Kira seems to have grown up with, certainly didn't expect such a father figure. Very sweet and fittingly humorous what with Kira's drinking habits.
I see her time/space-warping vision has made a reappearance; at least this time it was put to good use (it's no fun missing your train). It may be a while before you can come home Kira, but you are in for quite the interesting adventure.

Thanks for the fav. Yeah, they were rather fun to come up with and write. They also might not have had the best influence on her at times.
And this will be the canonical first time her powers come up. I figured keeping it small and just hinting that there's something weird going on was the best thing to do in this case. And true, at least this time it only helped her out.

Seems like an odd yet supportive environment to grow up in. Not sure I would expect to see a hammered twelve year old in an abbey of all places but hey, some monasteries just make amazing ale. :)
Good luck on your editing and rewriting. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this Cheeto(x).

Thanks for the fav. Well my sister got drunk and puked from sneaking sips of my father's beer when she was 3... she just always liked the taste. And yes, these are brewing alcohol producing monks. I'm sure the whole thing was a rather interesting environment for her to grow up in.
I really want to get to the material after Felix get's TF'd, but there's a lot to more properly build up to that I want to tell.

A lovely story and nice to see Kira had such a stable and loving, if sheltered*, upbringing.
A couple of observations, so her comment to Rhelki about sunbathing nude is from actual experience, and she seems to be fond of the drink! Also nice to see a good ogre, and Abott no less, what is a lob though?
As for reading Kira is a fox after my own heart, I agree with her on the whole school thing as well, I wasn't sorry to leave it behind either.
Oh and interesting ending! Perhaps she should speak to someone at the university, at least to reassure herself she isn't going nuts.
*this is not necessarily a bad thing, depending on how the person is introduced to the big bad world out there, but it can certainly be a shock.

Glad you liked it and thanks for the fav.
Lob is a name for a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubber_fiend I didn't really describe him here since I didn't want to slow things down (maybe I should have?). I created an interpretation of them for my tabletop game setting that I'm reusing here. I usually describe them as being covered in long silky fur, with a long, thin tail. Their face has a slightly cat-like appearance, though still much more human than an actual anthro cat without a noticeable muzzle. Their ears reside on the sides of their head and resemble something closer to the ones on deer.
I kind of based her school experiences with homework on my own. Sure, I can do well on all the tests. I know the material. Why should I do the homework? It's a waste of time. Of course, I spent it playing video games while she is using it far more productively.
This isn't the first time it's happened in her life. At this point, she kind of does believe she might be nuts since that's how everyone else treats her every time she brings it up.

Thanks for the fav, and you are exactly right about clothing over fur. That's why areas in this world with anthro dominant populations don't have nudity laws. Of course even the characters with fur from areas without such standards tend to feel rather unnerved when they experience it.
Yeah, I'm sure college will help with the drinking problem... maybe she can at least build up a tolerance.

Oh no! Is this that character from this story: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54274119/ that would be hated by university staff? That's brutal. And she's a very relatable character. I hope that in the end she wasn't thrown out of university or something, and if she was then she managed to live without being hated by that father or something, lol. But she wasn't thrown out, I guess.
And for some reason the part wit her saying "skinnies" made me think of this: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=ht.....088b7d61572a13
Also that abbey seems like a really nice place! They have nice nature around it and amazing ale. I don't blame Kira for liking it... uhh it sounds as if I tasted it when it's just totally imaginary, lol.

Sorry for the confusion Blaze. It is that character, but all these stories are being written out of order (I'm trying to fix that, but it's hard). Eventually there'll be a large compiled version for you to read and hopefully it'll all make sense. Spoilers, the Chancellor's plan doesn't work.
that comic is hilarious.
Yeah, it's was a good, if a bit usual environment for her to grow up in. Definitely a place I'd want to visit. I imagine their ale to be close to the Belgian variety of strong abbey ales.
