The main vocalist of the world-stopping K/DA group could be seen taking to the high fashion streets of Milano, perusing bespoke coat racks, hat racks, and bags of shiny leather and accessories that sparkle. If not there, she might be spotted on the other side of the globe, jetting over Fragrant Harbour to her heart and home of Seoul. But stars never slept and there were stages to charm with her girls, so the Queen went here, there, and everywhere.
Here meant a beautiful day in sunny Paris, cozied up in a private studio that offered a grand view of the bustling city. But the curtains were pulled shut, and so the view went unappreciated to one of four (maybe five, if they were lucky) occupants.
Ahri had claimed the lounge for herself, seated on a plush sofa, the expensive television blaring 64-bit - ahem, 16-bit music. A light blue hood sat over a swathe of soft blonde hair let loose into the depths of her clothes The rosy hues of the hombre were a fading gradient, darkening at the tips that brushed well past the collar of her hoodie. It was cashmere, well-worn, and just right for a lazy day off tour. There was a lull in fans to meet, shirts and proffered skin to sign and corporate hands to shake. Record-breaking labels, all ink, and dotted lines, it was all well when she's at the top of her game but today. Today, was exhausting.
So that meant online shopping. It meant making a cup of hot chocolate with almond milk. It meant an old hoodie and painting her nails an alternating blue and purple and letting them dry one hand at a time while she tapped away on her phone. But Ahri was a go-getter, a woman who had never chased her own tails for want of fame. She wasn't pumped full of explosive energy like Akali, and Kai'sa coming home with bloodied feet from hours and hours of practice made her wince. Evelynn had her fast and expensive cars (supposedly), and Ahri had her shoes and purses. She also had something else.
Games. She had never been a fan, she never had the time for it though she enjoyed watching others play. That was before the rabbit hole that killed the cat: speed-running. The adrenaline, the satisfaction, the pursuit of perfection - a personality test couldn't have picked a better hobby. So, on her lazy days like this, she had her cocoa, she had her nails and she had her console and controller set up on the grand T.V. What Ahri also had, which irritated her, was the high definition proof of failure right before her. An annoying, cheerful reminder that she could go again, but at what cost?

Because Ahri was good at what she did. Speed-running retro games did not agree with that assessment. She could recite the script word for word and knew how many steps needed to be taken exactly. But her hands had other plans. Pop sensation Foxy, labeled as the most talented in the Pop Shine Awards, could not make the glitch that shaved a hefty five whole minutes off her run time. It frustrated her. It bored her. She wanted more.
So she took a loud sip of her lukewarm drink and pressed the start button with her thumb. The music started up once again.

Skip. Skip. Skip. Skip.
The damsel in distress. The village idiot. The wise sage, who so happened to be the antagonist. Skip!
Once Ahri was in skipping mode, she was preoccupied. Only a murder might pull her away from the game, and even that wasn't a certainty. Her ears were pulled away, almost flat against her scalp which left the hood sagging into triangular pockets of nothing. Her tails were un-bedazzled and fluffed up around her like a comfy fort. Clad in nothing but the hoodie, a sports bra beneath, and a pair of shorts, she could have a soaring career as a streamer.
