nother intro, with 9 times as many tails and 100% less sonic relevance

[fluffytails]

[Those checking the generic communication device now might spot a transmission from another new arrival.

Who looked rather dark. Her hair? Jet black. Her dress? Black. Her huge, fluffy tails? Black. Even the white of her eyes was, well, not white, but quite black indeed. And were those black particle effects around her? Sheesh, someone really had tried to make her look evol. Or edgy. Or both.

For maximum effect, she was currently lolling on a mound of perfectly white pillows, which contrasted her quite a bit.]

Why, hello! As I arrived during a time of invasion, it's only natural to introduce myself, lest I find myself killed as a traitor or spy.

My name is Himiko. I am, as you can see, a fox - and therefore highly suspicious, so I will avoid the regular 'I am harmless' talk, as true as it may be.

[She stretched, then made herself comfortable by shuffling a bit. One of her tails brought her a gem-encrusted goblet, which seemed to be filled with fine wine, of which she took a sip.]

No, no, there's nothing I want in particular, I don't even have a question, although I am somewhat curious about those winged ones trying to catch me, for whatever reason.

Either way, nice to meet you - even though the circumstances are anything but.

[Himiko snapped her fingers on the right hand, then tapped her cheek.]

Oh, red fits in well with brown and various shadows under trees. I mean, have you seen this fox sitting there?

[She pointed to a spot on her left that really, didn't have a fox in so far. Or had it? Well, there was one now. It barked, then walked off.]

[fluffytails]

Oh, there's those too, all that samurai business with sword duels and the like. I'm sure they're popular among certain kind of ladies and lads.

[former_endboss]

...Was that a friend of yours dropping by for a visit?

[bane_of_reisen]

So your fox is into inter-species romance? Sorry, but most of my bunnies are only interested in myself or other bunnies.

[Tewi smirked as she looked over the black fox girl]

My ears are one of my cutest feature.

[fluffytails]

Ah, such speciesism.

[Himiko nodded at the second sentence.]

They certainly are adorable, they remind me of rice balls or certain sugar-based sweets. Maybe a kind of bun, too, or cake. Hmmm...

[fluffytails]

Yes, it happens! Although there aren't many of those around, come to think of it. Unusual place, this area.

[former_endboss]

Your poor friend may have difficulty getting home. Maybe you should prepare her-or was that a him?-a den to sleep in.

[fluffytails]

Oh, don't worry about her, any such fox I'd associate with would be ressourceful enough to get by. And if worst comes to worst, they can always hide behind my tails, there's enough space there.

[former_endboss]

.... can I build a pillow fort in there? I was deprived as a child and never got the chance.

[fluffytails]

Not quite, although if you're nice, you could snuggle in there for a bit. You'd have to brush them, however - a fair, equivalent exchange.

[former_endboss]

I am very nice, and totally was never refered to as the mother of demons by anyone at all. Also, I brush my own hair so I have experience at brushing.

[notjustinthemirror]

Fall in a vat of ink?

[fluffytails]

No, that'd be a dreadful thought!

[fluffytails]

Oh, I don't prejudice against demons, nor the mother of one, nor many. I've known several of them that were rather pleasant, albeit a tad big on sake.

And your brushing skills sound useful indeed~

[bane_of_reisen]

What can I say? They like what they like. Plus, after being around me for thousands of years, they can't think of anything better.

You mean Mochi? Well, lucky for you that my rabbits and I make the best Mochi you will ever taste.

[former_endboss]

Sake huh? I'm a bit of a lightweight saddly. You'll have to drink most of it, I'm in my cups after two and dangerously ill after five.

[notjustinthemirror]

I bet.

What's with the tails?

[fluffytails]

How boring. Those of us that can't even get creative after a few millenia are better off being food.

Or making it. Mochi does, indeed, sound rather pleasing, I suppose I could nibble on your ears until then~

[fluffytails]

A sign of my age, I'm afraid to say - we keep growing them every century or so, until there's nine of them.

They can be a bit of a bother, but they're fluffy, so that's fine.

What's with the eyes?

[fluffytails]

Oh dear, I'll have to make sure not to accidentally spike any drinks while in this place.

Should not be too hard to avoid, I'd say.

[former_endboss]

Or perhaps you will be making doubly sure that the drinks are spiked... in any case, I have things to do.

[bane_of_reisen]

Boring? How can you think someone as cute and adorable as me is boring? My looks are not the only think special about me

Sorry, my ears aren't for nibbling, especially by some fox girl I don't even know.

[fluffytails]

We were talking about your rabbits there, not you - there is no need for worry.

A shame you won't let me nibble, though. Those ears do look delicious.

[fluffytails]

Of course I wouldn't, that'd be rude, and I'm a most welcoming host!

But I won't attempt to keep you from your business any further.

[bane_of_reisen]

I see. Well, they are pretty boring.

[The bunny looks at Tewi and frowns, and Tewi gives it a pet.]

Well... maybe we can work some sort of deal...
