because we should all respect our elders. ... way, way elders.

[If you're wandering around too much, you'll find Kanna at one of those fox shrines, offering up a fairly large pile of fried tofu.]

This should keep her happy for a while.

[Why should you give anything to a mangy old fox?!]

Tenko is not mangy, she's beautiful -- and she's been a friend of my moms for a long time, and she's been very kind, so it

*Runs past.

Being chased by a perfectly ordinary, non-magical, utterly unremarkable normal fox.*

[danse_magique]

... you're kidding.

[windanddragon]

*... you doubt life's ability to top him?*

[danse_magique]

[Sigh the men in my life all fail. Except the ones that aren't human. ... some of them. She breaks off a piece of the tofu and calls out to the fox for its attention.]

Someone has a sense of humor, or he just fails that hard ...

[mcangryfaces]

[What is this fried tofu which you speak of. By which, I mean he's probably staring going 'buh what'.

...Nevermind that he looks really irritated at the same time. It's unintentional. Really.]

[danse_magique]

... were you going to make an offering, too?

[mcangryfaces]

What offering?

[danse_magique]

They like it, when you leave fried tofu ...

*Near the shrine, there is a photo studio, imaginatively named Hikari Photo Studio.

Oddly, you're reasonably sure it was a cafe yesterday.

Out of it is walking a dude with a pink camera around his neck.*

[danse_magique]

[You pinged me in my soul, but I'll be keeping that to myself.

Instead, she's just going to sort of puzzle over the photo place.]

[riderpassinthru]

*The guy pops open the camera.*

Oi, you.

[A certain tech guy leans against a nearby wall, watching Kanna with a smile.]

Can’t argue too much with a culture that reveres canines...

[danse_magique]

Traditionally anyway. Not to many people come and leave offerings, but Tenko is a good friend of mom's and she's always been nice to me, so I try to as often as possible.

[h_foss]

[He smiles and nods.] Well, that’s sweet of you, Kanna. What does she do? I mean all your gods and spirits and demons have a specific sphere of power, right? What’s Tenko’s story? And is she single?

[danse_magique]

"Heavenly Queen Tenko", the one who rules and watches over all fox spirits. And punishes them, actually, but otherwise she's very kind. And beautiful, too. But ... dating a goddess might not be such a good idea. I'm not sure mortals can get to her plane of existence.

*Standing at the shrine. Having a staring contest with a fox.

The fox is winning.*

[danse_magique]

... uh ...

[ka_guo_lai]

*Staaaaaaare.*

[danse_magique]

... you know it's going to win, right?
