Sample post: The creature made a mad dash down the streets of Fujiyoshida, breaking the line of buildings for the Aokigahara forest near Mt. Fuji. As it ran, blood dripped from its jowls and dotted the ground in scarlet. The Medicine Seller was hot on its trail, running with almost inhumane speed on his wooden geta. His blade, unsheathed and rattling, clutched in his hand. The beast let out a howl that chilled him to the bones and he abruptly stopped infront of the train tracks as the railing came down. A train pasted, hurtling over the tracks and barred him from his target.
He heaved a deep breath. That was definitely an Inugami, he thought frantically as he watched the train cars fly by him all too slowly for his liking. He was almost tempted to start tapping his foot impatiently. That thing was getting away because of this train.
You mean it wasn’t because of you and your incompetence?
He looked down at the blade rattling in his hand, its monstrous face cackling at him as though it were laughing at his misfortune. He clutched the sheath within his fist, a tight sneer pulling at his lips.
“I didn’t see you helping.”
The last train car flew past him with a heavy clanking of metal and steel. He looked up quickly as the railroad crossing dividers lifted, scanning the area on the other side of the tracks and saw something move out of the corner of his eye. Without a second thought, he began pursuit, whipping out his ofuda and flinging them towards the creature. It howled vociferously as if in pain from the magic of the paper bindings, wailing up towards the moon.
The Medicine Seller calmly began to walk over to the fallen creature. Its Form-a dog of bear-like size with a mouth nearly as big as his box-finally revealed.
”It’s not often that the Form be the last of the truths to reveal itself to me. Such a pity too. I was beginning to enjoy the chase.” The Taima Sword lifted out of his hands and began to float above his head hovering an inch above his uplifted fingers. “But now that your Form, Truth, and Regret are revealed to me, I can no longer allow you exist in this world.”
Notes: There isn’t much known about these characters so some things I will make-up or infer, but I will try my best to keep him as in-character as possible. However, SOME THINGS WILL BE OF MY OWN CREATION/INTERPRETATION, especially regarding his Other Self and their connection to the Taima Sword.
About the FTR: The Form the mononoke takes on comes from the hatred and grudge it has against humans. Until its true Form is revealed, no one will be able to see it (or see it for what it truly is as it might disguise itself as someone or something else). Thus to figure out its Form, you must trick it into revealing itself or figure it out on your own and speak its Form’s name. [For example, when Kusuri-uri went up against the BakeNeko, he figured out its Form from some fur it has left on one of the bodyguards in the room when it attacked. He then spoke its name and it was revealed to them.] The Truth is the reason why the incident happened, why the mononoke is attacking a certain place/person/object and why it exists. In order to find the Truth, those involved must explain the reason the mononoke is there. The Regret is the truth in your heart. The mononoke does not wish to be turned into a creature of hate and malice. The Regret will be the truth behind its viciousness. Is it truly evil, or simply angry or afraid? Sometimes it needs the one who turned it into a mononoke to tell it that they are sorry or forgive it. This also must be explained by those involved in the mononoke’s existence and is usually done when explaining the Truth. Sometimes the people involved will lie to their last dying breath, refusing to give up the Truth and Regret, thus the mononoke itself might show you its memories or a scene from the past in order to explain for itself. Until the FTR are named, the sword won’t have any power, which means it won’t be able to kill the mononoke or ayakashi. Each time one of the FTR is revealed, the sword’s mouth clinks closed indicating truth from lies. When the FTR are all named, the sword is finally able to be unsheathed and it says, “RELEASE.” (Yes, it talks. The sword. It speaks WORDS. EL OH EL.)
