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.

Comments

[fluffytails]

Oh, a true princess, delighted to make your acquaintance.

As for youkai who enjoy creating gaps, I must regretfully admit that I have no connection to them, youkais often don't like foxes like my kind, for some reason. Likely because of the pranks my kind likes to play on them.

[mooned_hime]

Oh, no, there's nothing regretful about it. I daresay it's a good thing.

Pranks, hm? I happen to live with a trickster myself.

[fluffytails]

Not fond of said youkai, I take it?

And yes, pranks. My kind has a reputation about those, I wouldn't have the faintest idea why that is. Must be the tails.

[mooned_hime]

She's rather unpopular throughout most of Gensokyo, really.

Hm... oddly enough, the only fox I know is connected with the aforementioned gap youkai, and from what little I know she isn't much of a trickster.

She does have an atrocious fashion sense, though.

[fluffytails]

Oh, I see. Well, if she puts gaps everywhere, that's to be expected - or are we talking more metaphorically here?

I suppose as for that fox, maybe there's a gap between our reputation and what we really are as well. I'm not that much of a trickster myself, really.

But hopefully have more fashion sense.

[mooned_hime]

It's rather complicated, really. It's a way for her to travel, among other things.

You certainly do possess a superior fashion sense than her! Especially since you don't wear a silly looking hat.

[fluffytails]

Oh, a method of teleportation, I take it? Sounds useful.

And I must admit that while I don't wear a hat now, I do own a variety of veils and capes which may not find your approval.

[mooned_hime]

I'm sure it is!

Oh, I don't have any issues with headgear in general. This fox just happened to have something very silly looking.

[fluffytails]

Ah, so I take it that you don't mind ears like these? That is somewhat unusual among princesses, I heard.

[mooned_hime]

Where's the fun in being a typical princess?

[fluffytails]

Oh, it was fun for a while, although the 'being captured in some tower' bit was somewhat of a pain.

[mooned_hime]

I can't say I've ever experienced the captured bit, fortunately!

[fluffytails]

In the last decade or so, I was in an area where it felt as if someone captured a princess every week. Rather boring, that.

[mooned_hime]

Oh my. My condolences.

[fluffytails]

Thank you, but it wasn't too much of a problem, many of the responsible lot got stuck in their own deathtraps, for some reason.
