and i'm not even sorry
Who: Seimei + You!
Where: All around Aldrip
What: A glitch has made the local onmyoji...fuzzier.
Warnings: None. Will update if this changes.
[ By now residents of Aldrip are no strangers to wildlife causing all kinds of a ruckus in and around town. The ones that tend to be bold and venture closer to city limits are monsters, though, big and frightening with plenty of strength to back up that audacity.
What's causing trouble these next few days is much smaller.
A fox, all slender limbs and golden eyes, has decided it's right at home on the city streets, as if it was born and raised there. While it seems appropriately cautious of humans, avoiding large busy gatherings and such, it doesn't necessarily seem afraid of them. It'll pass you on the sidewalk no problem, wait its turn in a line, and maybe if you're not paying attention to something not tied down...try to snag it.
Especially if it's food. Anyone looking to enjoy a meal outside may want to keep an extra close eye on it, lest a fuzzy little vermin make off with it.
But maybe today's not the best day to be eating outside. It's hot after all, and no one would blame you for wanting to stick inside where it's nice and cool instead of sitting around and boiling. Thing is, though, human people aren't the only ones trying to beat the heat.
Under your bed, your sink, in your pantry, or even in your bathtub, this black fox is curled up having a nice nap. Or, was having a nice nap. When you chance upon them they'll open an eye and wait, as if checking whether being discovered trespassing is worth getting up and moving or not.
...Is it? What do you think? ]

[ ooc: for about a week of july, seimei will be glitched into a fox! he remembers his time in expiation as if he was a fox all along, so will recognize familiar faces. he'll also be capable of human speech and minor fire manipulation (just, like, lighting or snuffing candles) so anyone with spiritual or magical senses may notice something Off about him.
if you're not feeling anything talked about above, hit me with a wildcard or a pm and we can discuss! let's have a nice foxy time. ]

[Freshly returned from her work on the farm, Kotone was planning to take a shower and get all the farm dirt and sweat off, but there's a little guy in the bathroom she shares with Scott. To her credit, she just blinks with a bit of mild surprise and tilts her head, almost mirroring the fox. Who will flinch first...]
Hey buddy! Can I take your picture? [She has to send this to Scott!! And she's already crouching down and taking her tablet out, making no other move to disturb the fox at rest.] I bet you were really hot outside, huh?
no subject
In fact it almost looks like he's posing for the picture, lifting his head and crossing his front paws all regal. ]
no subject
Do you want anything, little guy? Water or snacks?
[Tucking her tablet away, she reaches out with one careful hand. Can she pet...?]
no subject
And it looks like she's passed. He lowers his head as if presenting it, the universal critter signal of 'yes, you may.' ]
no subject
You're so handsome! [she compliments as she carefully scratches under his chin and smooths her other hand along his back.] I bet you're really smart, too! Coming inside to hide from the heat. I'll ask Scott if you can stay, okay? I'm sure I can convince him if you promise to be good!
no subject
Ah, right, she and the boy must live together. He can only hope Scott's as agreeable to beautiful animals as she is, but just in case he isn't, there's a more clear way Seimei can express his intentions. ]
The shelter would be appreciated, though I do not intend to outstay my welcome.
[ The fox's mouth doesn't move, and the voice doesn't seem to be coming from anywhere in particular. It's just...there, hanging in the air like a gentle breeze finding you at high noon. ]
