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.

[A voice from behind Himiko speaks up]

Well, you shouldn't scare one of my rabbits.

[The bunny smiles, and quickly flies to the bunny girl behind Himiko, and hid itself behind her pink dress.]

[fluffytails]

I haven't scared anyone. And my little foxy friend here was actually barking a mating call. Alas, your rabbit friend didn't seem to respond too well to seduction.

[ The fake fox hops up, seems to whirl around, turning into a flame - resembling so-called foxfire - which then dispersed out of the room rapidly.]

How rude. One would expect better of a maiden! Although you do have tasty-looking ears. Tasteful, I mean.

[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...

[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.

[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~

[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.

[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...

[fluffytails]

Oh, I am quite fond of deals, I must admit, although rabbits usually don't feature in them.

[bane_of_reisen]

If you could get me 5 rare artifacts for me, then you can nibble a bit.

[fluffytails]

Five? That's no problem. I could supply you twenty.

Alas, I have to decline the deal regardless. I fear you would not be able to tell them as genuine articles, for true rare artifacts are usually hardly splendid to look at, as the genuine thing tends to be practical over decorative.

And what good would a deal be if what I supply would only find scorn?

[bane_of_reisen]

Oh ho. You are pretty smart for a fox. You are correct though. I guess you will just have to settle for some mochi. Go home and get us some will ya?

[The bunny stares at the fox girl for a bit, then hops off.]

[fluffytails]

Me, smart for a fox? You flatter me, I'm all but average.

[bane_of_reisen]

The foxes in Gensokyo are pretty dumb and easily tricked.

[fluffytails]

Oh, I'm sure you'll easily trick me as well, then, since you're a master trickster, no?

[bane_of_reisen]

Me? why I never tricked a person in my life.

[fluffytails]

That may be so, but you haven't said anything on you never trying to do so.

[bane_of_reisen]

Would someone this cute and adorable do something so underhanded? I think not.

[fluffytails]

[And Himiko started to laugh, just laugh. That seemed to have amused her a great deal.]
