[Parts of this entry are blacked out because ink was spilled. Why? Because Amaterasu decided right then and there to kick some ass, making his supply wash over the scroll. He's not too happy about that since the ink also ruined his drawings. Fortunately, those with computers or other magical means will be able to highlight or reveal the text.]

It's so dark and gloomy... Like a black fog covering everything...

What's going on over there, anyway?

[createswithink]

Yeah--that's exactly it! It's like a super dense fog that's the color of a sore wound: purple, black, and red. If you touch it, it might physically hurt you!

[truthinfortune]

I see... Unfortunately, I do have some experience with malevolent fog...

Where did it all come from? It wasn't there the last time I visited Kamiki Village.

[createswithink]

We're starting to think it has to do with an old local legend. But...that really should be impossible, unless the seal was removed...

[ Natsume has a book and if he knew he could use a computer to clear the black, he would have gone to borrow one at school, but he figure's there's just something wrong with it. ]

Is everything okay?

handwritten forever;

[createswithink]

I'm fine, but my world isn't. A really powerful dragon cursed it!

[namereturning]

Do you know how to help it?

[createswithink]

We're working on it. I think what'll make it easier is restoring all the gods to their power.

[makewayforroze]

Issun? What's going on? Are you alright?

handwritten forever;

[createswithink]

I'm fine. The land's not 'cause it's cursed.

[makewayforroze]

What kind of curse?

[createswithink]

Essentially, it taints everything. There's no sun or healthy life, there's little water, and the people get turned to stone.

[stripping]

Do gods actually get fleas? It would seem like they should be above that.

[createswithink]

I don't think she'd be above it. [No, not at all. Grumpy.]

[stripping]

Is it that you dislike her?

btw always handwritten;

[createswithink]

Eh--? No! I'm just saying that it's perfectly possible for gods to suffer the same things everything else does. Or...she may in fact want them! Fleas are part of their creation, after all.

I should have figured you'd eventually go on a heroic magical journey like that, what with you looking like a fairy and all.

Speaking of things you look like, you're really setting yourself up for a joke at the end there.

[createswithink]

[You called him a fairy. And he's well aware of the joke. So he's ignoring you. Have another ink spill. Totally accidental.]

[madeitsquare]

Oh, come on, I wasn't trying to offend you.

always handwritten

[createswithink]

I've been adventuring before I came to this village! This one will be easy!
