Nanashi gasps and catches his breath. "Ah, You were there!"

"Wait, how do you always know when I'm trying to sneak into the shrine?"

"And... shouldn't you be at the concert too?"

Nanashi squats in the window.

I find my seat, sit down, and relax. It's actually been a busy day. Shame I didn't get to drink more of that...

"I FORGOT TO PAY!" I shout, suddenly sitting bolt upright.

I...guess I'll do that after the concert.

Nanashi's Story
"Eh? What do you mean 'How do I know?' I was wondering why you always snuck in right where I was. Hasn't Kintoki taught you to check where you sneak?"

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #83 on:** November 21, 2012, 08:45:53 PM »

"Ah... I suppose I was in a bit of a rush~. I have shamed my sensei... But anyways, are you not going to the concert?" Nanashi surreptitiously sidles the bag behind him.

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #84 on:** November 22, 2012, 01:20:37 AM »

"I wasn't planning on going, no. I don't really care for that sort of music. I'm a traditionalist."

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #85 on:** November 22, 2012, 01:25:48 AM »

Nanashi nods. "I see. I do enjoy traditional music myself as well, but that probably means something quite different based on our cultures. I did stop by here to leave something behind, but since you are here and not planning on going to the concert, perhaps it would serve you better for me to deliver it now." Nanashi brings forward the bag and offers it to Koto.

"Just a small token of appreciation for the concert tickets. I hope you enjoy it. I got it from a new store that opened up in Zanka-ku. I hope you enjoy it." Nanashi smiles. "Thank you for taking care of us."

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #86 on:** November 22, 2012, 01:28:38 AM »

"Ooo! Thanks twice. I'm sure I'll enjoy it I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Hrm... an unmarked bottle..."

Koto appears to be lost in ponder. Probably time to head over to that concert.

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #87 on:** November 22, 2012, 01:33:50 AM »

Nanashi nods and laughs, then quickly says "You're welcome, you're welcome. It's called 'Kyouto', it's some sort of welgaian-old capital sake thing from a Lunarian store. I should run! I don't wanna be late."

Almost forgetting, Nanashi calls back "Oh, and I need to talk to you after the concert." Being surprised by Koto and running more late than he hoped caused him to almost completely forget about the witch of black cats...

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #88 on:** November 23, 2012, 01:28:16 PM »

You make it to the concert venue just before it starts, and manage to grab the seat Spider was saving for you. Wasn't that nice of him?

The show is, of course, enjoyable. Ino-Shika-Cho is as good as ever, and they are still messing with weird things. The interpretive dance/dubstep/theremin number might have been a bit much, though. Ah well.

The concert ends, you have a brief chat with the band about nothing in particular, and head home. Now is the time for last minute things, before the curtain closes.

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #89 on:** November 23, 2012, 09:01:31 PM »

Nanashi stumbles back home, tired from a busy and exciting day. When back at the temple, he looks for Koto. He needs to speak with her about the Black cat witch. There was still some stuff eating at him.

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #90 on:** November 23, 2012, 09:06:33 PM »

You find Koto without much trouble. She appears to be sleeping off the effects of your present. She stirs as you enter the room, and sleepily looks up at you.

"Hrm..? Oh, welcome home..."

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #91 on:** November 23, 2012, 09:27:37 PM »

Nanashi gives a quick bow. While not surprised that she consumed the gift immediately, he is somewhat surprised that a woman who is rumored to have drunk an oni under the table would be this affected. But perhaps she is just tired.

"Thank you, I'm wondering if now isn't the best time to talk with you, you seem rather drowse." Nanashi can't help but feel a slight warmth in his heart seeing koto there, similar to what he may have felt if he had a daughter, or a particularly younger sister. He doesn't show it though, he merely continues to smile. He hopes that this nagging in his mind will lead to nothing and that he'll have a good night's rest waiting for him.

"But if you are up for a quick talk, I'll make sure not to take too much time"

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #92 on:** November 23, 2012, 09:29:32 PM »

"Hgrm? Oh, sure. What did you want to talk about?"

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #93 on:** November 24, 2012, 01:07:46 AM »

Do you know an entity known as 'The Witch of Black Cats'? We were approached by her today. She stated that she was the one who scraped the last bits of our soul and placed us here. She also said that she believes that we were captured on a routine run by the welgaians to harvest souls to power their technology. She gave us these phones," Nanashi sets his new phone on the table, "to keep in touch with us. All of this is information, while important, is not the reason that I am concerned. The witch of Black cats also said something strange, which is why I wanted to ask if you knew her or not."

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #94 on:** November 24, 2012, 01:16:19 AM »

"The Witch of Black Cats? Oh, you mean Kuro. Yeah, I know of her. A little bit, at least. We met once. She... could move through dimensions, right? I think that was her power. I didn't think that she could mess with souls too. Are you sure she said she put your souls back in your body? Turning a Mono into a Mayfly sounds more like...

Oh well, you said she said something weird?"

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #95 on:** November 24, 2012, 01:47:16 AM »

"Well... yes. It was strange because it was the second time today that something seemed wrong. I lied to a lunarian store clerk today and her voice went dark and she said something very strange, but there was something much worse in Kuro's voice. Twisted to the point that I couldn't understand. It sounded like... She wanted you to remember something. But the weirdest thing was that Nanashi had just asked one of his strange paranoid riddle questions, and instead of blowing it off like most people here do, she told us to ask you 'what lies in the furthest depths of memory...'"

Nanashi holds his breath, as though he may have just spoken a curse.

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #96 on:** November 24, 2012, 01:50:38 AM »

Koto turns to you with an odd sort of look on her face.

"But seriously, I'm sure she just said that 'cause Spider did that weird Spider things he always does. I'm surprised you took it so seriously. But did she really say it all twisted-like? That's sort of an odd question to say in your creepy voice..."

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #97 on:** November 24, 2012, 01:56:25 AM »

Nanashi blinks. He'd take a sigh of relief, but he isn't sure if he is relieved or not.

"Can you and she just use that voice? And what do you mean, where all are born and where all will return? What was that?"

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #98 on:** November 24, 2012, 01:57:06 AM »

"Huh? Born and return? What are you talking about?"

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #99 on:** November 24, 2012, 02:06:34 AM »

Nanashi feels an explosion of what could be either panic or intense curiousity. "You replied to her question. about memory. Your face went blank and you said 'The place where all are born and where all will return- Tenjin Shrine.' And this is what I was worried about. Koto, I mean to help you in any way that I can, but do you know any significance to the question she told us to ask you, or the response that you don't remember giving?"

Nanashi rubs his eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm probably sounding weird. But if you can't answer anything else, do you know what 'Tenjin shrine' is? or where I could find out about it?"

tenjin... is that angel? no... I think... heaven person? So... like an angel?
