Well...at least I can move the mask to the side. How is everyone else doing with their costumes? Isn't the town interesting? I've never seen anything like it! It's so strange~

[Souji is dressed like this with a mask like the ones to the right, but moved to the side so it doesn't cover his face. He doesn't like his costume at all. It brings back bad memories. But taking it off did nothing and he hates just sitting in his room all day.

If people are out and about, he can be found just about anywhere in town looking at the decorations, poking at the buildings, or taking Saizou for a walk. Eventually, he'll end up back at House 50 with Saizou in tow so he can feed the little piglet before the pig decides to eat someone.]

I care not of the goings-on of you humans. Rumors among you lot are none of my concern, unless I make it so.

[She flares her nostrils, trying to catch a scent, but it's nothing. Just that of a human. She seriously hates this place. She growls, hunching her shoulders and twitching a few of her tails.]

Have you humans forgotten your manners? Tell me who and what you are before I reveal myself to you!

Forgive my rudeness. Okita Souji, Captain of the First Unit of the Shinsengumi. [He turns and puts his mask back on for her for some reason, trying to figure out where she is.]

And you?

[Ah, a Captain. Ninetails doesn't say anything, but her distaste is evident. She's not fond of the militaristic types. As she slinks from the darkness at last, she sits regally and leers down her masked snout. Her nine wriggling tails curl on either side of her like large serpents.]

Okita Souji...you will refer to me as the Demon Lord.

[Holy shit, it is a real kitsune - not only that, but she has nine tails. Nine tails. He's thankful now that he has his mask on because it makes the shock in his expression impossible to see. ]

....An honor.

[It doesn't matter if he wears a mask or not. It's true what they say - animals can sense fear. The fox bares her teeth in a nasty grin, lowering her head so its more on his level, leaning in slowly. Her voice is calm, almost teasing maybe, but the deadly edge in her voice is so obvious. She's having fun with this human.]

Yet you do not bow.

[Fun can only go so far, however, and after dealing with Pride and knowing how he is so very outmatched here, he's learned to calm down. Instead of letting her intimidate him, he drops the pretense of his usual happy-go-lucky self and turns to face the demon directly, leveling his gaze at her through the mask.

He regards her for a moment, and then straightens and bows his head low. When he stands up again, he's far more calm now, even if his heart is still beating a little rapidly.]

Your presence surprised me.

[The fox's shoulders shake with her soft, rumbling laughter, but she doesn't do much else. Yet. She's still debating whether or not she should actually harm this human or not. It'd be great sport, at the very least, but humans here were not all they seemed to be. She found that out the hard way.]

Many apologies indeed. [Oh, how sincere she sounds.] Tell me then, human, what has occurred to this village? Has a curse befallen it? And why do you dress as if you were my kin? It is a great dishonor to myself and my brethren, you see...

The apology is mine.

[And how sincere he sounds. His tone and body language is tense, as he watches her for any indication that she might attack.]

A curse, perhaps. It's an experiment. The Malnosso have dressed people up against their will and changed the town to match a foreign holiday called Halloween. That is why I dress like your kin. If anything, it is not an intentional dishonor and if possible, I would remove it. Unfortunately, I cannot.

[The tension in the air is almost tangible. Ninetails stares directly in his eyes, sizing him up and trying to decide if it'd be worth it to kill him. So far, he was answering her questions, but if and when she runs out of questions, or he doesn't answer...]

Halloween? [One ear flicks and she glances around the town absently.] Peculiar. I seem to have been excluded from the festivities. But I do sense the forces of darkness gathering - gaining a great power, and a great evil approaches. ...You'd be wise to not travel alone, human. You never know what could lurk in the shadows, heh heh.

Is there anything else I should be aware of? I'd hate to be caught in an...unsavory situation.
