You are Kitsune. That is your name. You are very, very hungry. It is about mid-day but you have been too lazy to venture very far. Unfortunately, you're quite the picky eater...

How shall you solve this catastrophe.

Steal some food from those dumb Tanuki.

what kind of food do you prefer? (please tell me it's human flesh).

We'll need a list of foods you'll tolerate if we're to help you find sustenance.

Eat tanuki leaves.

>>665652
How many tails do you have.

>very hungry
We need to find a tasty human to trick, and then eat their soul.

>>665652
I dunno, eat that rock over there or something.

You avoid humans. They frighten you. You mainly prefer meat. Small mammals and birds, but will also eat bugs and fish. You also enjoy fruits, berries and root vegetables. However, you avoid nuts and leaves since they make your stomach upset.

>>665653

Tanuki are dumb. This you can confirm. But you want to avoid eating their food. It's probably contaminated.

>>665658

You have 3 tails.

can it be?

Climb a tree and look for bird nests.

>>665660
Maybe climb a tree and eat some eggs?

Go fish. You've seen others do it, right? Just find some sharp metal, stab a bug, tie some string connecting the metal and a sturdy stick, put the metal under the water and wait. How hard could it be?

go fish.

Well, I don't see any fruit trees or bushes around, and if you avoid humans, that makes raiding gardens for veggies harder.

You hop onto a tree and begin to scramble up the trunk. You have never climbed a tree before. It's surprisingly easy to scale the height of the tree. Once you reach a large branch you search for a bird nest. Off at the very end of the branch is a small nest. You're too far away to see if there's eggs.

>Climb to the end.
>Climb down.
>Climb further up.

>>665673
Climbing to the very end of a branch is a good way to fall. They get thinner and weaker the further out you go.

Any other way to get to it?

Can you transfooooorm into a bird or a snake or something?

Wait, be smart about this.

Climb down, put some padding underneath the nest, and then climb up and shake the branch until the nest falls out.

>>665679
I agree. Padding under the nest is best plan.

Climb higher up so you can elbow-drop the nest.

>>665679

You climb back down the tree and compile a giant pile of soft leaves for the nest. You then climb back up and shake the branch with every bit of might you have! The nest shakes free and lands in the leaves.

You slide down and pick through the nest. There are 3 baby birds inside the nest. They are wriggling around helplessly.

>Eat.
>Leave them.

>>665686
Eat them.

RULES OF NATUUUUURE

Well, the mother bird's going to abandon them now. Better eat them.

>>665686
Eat 'em!

Raise them as your own and teach them to forage food for you. Got to play the long game if you want a constant food source.

You figure nature is nature. You quickly devour both of the birds. You still feel a bit peckish but the immediate problem of starving is gone for now. You stand up and look around. The forest is quiet today. It's usually quite busy.

You are now thirsty. You should find water.

To find water in the wild, try going whatever direction is downslope.

>>665701
Go west.

>>665701
Oh my god you are adorable.

Is there a river or spring or something nearby you usually go to? I mean, you know the area, right? If there is go there.

Failing that, follow >>665703

And if everything is flat... north, I guess?

>>665701

that's a direction

Wait a minute, I thought you saw three birds. Take the last one with you, might be useful.

Check the trees and go in the direction of the healthiest ones - they should have access to the most water.

I SWEAR TO ZOG THAT BY THE END OF THIS QUEST WE WILL BECOME A KUMIHO!

Hmm, if we don't have any clues to the direction of water than it is impossible to make an informed decision in which case we should select a heading completely at random. Without looking up select a tree and look up its trunk. Whichever direction the lowest branch is pointing will be the way to our destiny.

You vaguely know the area. To be completely honest you haven't moved from this spot since you arrived. How you were born is a very strange story. Instead of being pushed from another being you were materialized out of thin air. You were too nervous to explore from there, but now hunger and thirst are driving you forward.

>>665703

Downhill! Yes! You run about in circles for a bit, determining which side is more angled. Finally, you discover a steeper area and follow the path. As you run faster and faster you begin to hear the sound of rushing water and...

Egads! A river!

Don't drink yet! It might be drugged! Or something.

Move upstream to find cleaner water! Use your scarf as a filter.

Then how do you know you're picky? Or which
foods you prefer?

Well, leaves and nuts were in your immediate vicinity so they were your first option. Bugs crawled along your path naturally. And you also managed to convince a young harpy to bring you dead rats and fish. You have no idea where the harpy is now. You think her name is Hessie.

You kneel down by the riverside, cupping the water in your hands. You're apparently much more civilized than the average kitsune! Bringing the water to your face, you take a deep swig. It's very cold and refreshing!

After a few more sips of water you feel satisfied. You ponder to yourself a bit. Should you bother to gather food for a long-term plan, or just eat stuff as you find it?

Oh hey a frog

CAPTURE IT! They have eggs that can be traded in cities for lots of food!

Also their fatty tissue is a delicacy.

Gather food. Maybe even learn to cultivate it.
One does not reach a thousand years old living day to day...right?

Look to the weather. Is it spring, summer, or fall? If it's the autumn, start gathering.

>>665767

Gathering food would be a safer option, even if it is a bit of work. You are an inherently lazy Kitsune, but food is important! You just need to make sure not to snack too much and you'll fare just fine.

First order of business...the frog in the distance. You turn your head and stare at it, licking your lips. It did look quite tasty. You inch towards it, but it immediately hops onto the rock in the river, croaking idly.

>>665783
Stupid frog. Come back so I can eat you.

Hmm. The croaking isn't a signal or anything is it? Look around to see if anything reacted.

frogs aren't supposed to have fangs, or spine spikes.

>>665783
You should start figuring out how to set traps, too. Traps are best for a lazy hunter.

Also yeah that's not a normal frog. They're normally pretty difficult to catch anyways. Ask if it can talk?

You peek around, wondering if the croaking was a sign. Nothing happens. You then try to communicate with the frog.

"Can you talk?"

It just blinks, and croaks again. It hops away once more, but is snatched up by a lash made of some sort of translucent substance. It's then pulled into the rushing water, in a single motion.

Run

Hide and see what happens

Oh hey, there's some other kind of predator about. Wait and watch. See what it is!

>>665795
Back away a bit from the water and watch it. I wonder what it is, some kind of water imp maybe? Or a water nymph?

a kappa perhaps?

You run back and duck behind a rock, watching the water closely. From the surface emerges a blue figure. It has long hair and pointed ears. Through the body you can see the frog suspended in the figure.

well, you are too big for it to engulf properly and probably out of range. say hello.

Hum a tune to begin negotiations.

>>665827
It's a water spirit, or a goo girl, or something in that vein.

Say hello!

You're too big for her to engulf easily (unless you just stand there and let her) and you're not really able to eat her either. You're not threats to each other (except maybe competition).

"Hello?" The blue creature turns around and stares at you. You can see the frog slowly decay inside of her stomach. You assume it's a her.

Say that it's okay and that you were quicker anyway. Should be friends though! T-Try and make friends?

>>665839
Nah, it's okay, I don't think I could have caught a frog in the middle of a river anyways. He would have just swam away if you hadn't got him.

"I'm new around here, so I don't know anyone."

"Ah. I thought you didn't seem familiar. I didn't eat you because you are too big. You are free to drink this water if you want. It's safe."

She might be an Undine. It seemed like it anyways.

"Do you know many creatures around here? Having some friends would be nice."

"Mmm...I know that to the East there is a small village."

what kind of village?

regardless, it probably has a farm. farms have fruits and veggies.

A village means we can either steal stuff or make friends that might get us stuff or trade for stuff.

You head East just like she said, taking your time. You make sure to admire the scenery around you. The bark on the trees and the ferns in the ground. Birds chirp overhead, and the sunlight trickles through the treetops. Eventually you find a dirt path cut through the ground, and you follow it. In the distance you see a trade cart pulled over on the side of the road.

Well it's a bit degrading isn't it?

"It's dangerous to travel at night. I'd like to avoid having to camp out here..."

You never really noticed an elevated level of danger in the forest at night, but perhaps that's because you're so used to it. You walk around to the front of the cart and hold out your hand for the centaur, who is significantly taller than you.

"Hi! I'm Kitsune. Who are you?"

"...My name is none of your business. Leave us alone, we're here on official trade matters."

"then why did you stop here instead of the trading place?"

I could get some water, if you have something to carry it in.

We can do that if you can lend us a bucket.

We'll go visit Boba again and see why she attacks them. It's not to hunt them, surely, so why?

Get a bucket or something from the wagon, run back to the river and ask Boba if you're allowed to fill the bucket up to drink later.

You head off back to the river and get there quickly. Boba is leaning against the rock in the middle, resting.

"Oh. Fox girl. You have returned. Can I help you?"

"Oh um, do you mind if I get some water from your stream?"

"Not at all. Please take."

"Also, why do you attack traders when they come by?"

"To keep my river clean. Traders dump their trash and bathe their dirty bodies in my water."

>>666442
Oh alright that's reasonable. No bathing here then. Ask where you can bathe.

Hmm. Ask her if there's anything she wants from the village. Like some treats or something?

That makes sense. I wouldn't want trash dumped in my forest, either. But you just attack them to scare them off, right, not hurt them? Would you compromise on the bathing? It's really so little dirt compared to the soil your stream moves every day, and it all gets washed downstream anyway. Maybe you could make new friends that way.
I'm sure it would work out well for you and the traders.

So, anyway, where does your stream go? Have you been to both ends?

>>666443
For bathing, we can just wait until we get an actual bucket, as well as a basin, trough, or barrel to fill up as the tub.

Or get a hole-riddled pail nailed up on a tree as a shower some ways away from the river.

>Traders dump their trash and bathe their dirty bodies in my water
Oh, how rude! I can see why you wouldn't like that.

"I am not interested."

"All rivers lead to the ocean. As does mine. It starts from a large lake, though."

It took about 4 hours to reach the village. Your butt was extremely sore, but you feel that the experience allowed you and Fern to bond...sorta.

As you get closer, the crowds of people become more apparent. Soon it's extraordinarily busy, with various monsterkin screaming and yelling in all directions.

Your friends pull up to an empty stand and begin to unload their stock. You help as much as you can before Zozo allows you to meander on your own. After a bit a certain stand draws you in. The owner is selling various burnt wood pictures. Intricately crafted and pleasing to the eye.

Is the figure blushing under that cowl? Tell them that it looks nice, but you don't have any money so your just looking around.

>>666762
Yes! They're very interesting to look at.

I'm kitsune, who are you?

Well what are they?

"They're really cool! I don't have any money though..."

"That's fine. They're free to look at, dearie."

"My name's Kitsune! Who are you?"

"Ahh, my name? My name is Yobi. But I feel as though you may recognize me better without this stuffy hood." The figure stood up and tugged on a rope near the front of the stand. Large flaps fell down and covered the entrance. She then pulled off her hood.

"That's much better."

Should we know you? We haven't really been around that long...

>>666814
She... kind of looks like you, doesn't she? Same style of ears (just folded down) and hair?

>>666814
Oh hey she's like you! Ask her if she was born by just appearing into existence like you were.

>>666814
Hmmm... nope! No clue.

Cool forehead thingy though.

Friend! Or shapeshifter! Or... friend!!!

"You...You kinda look like me. Did you materialize out of thin air, too?"

"Me? Of course. Most of us are. We are summoned to serve Inari. Our goddess."

"Inari?" The name rang a certain chord inside of you, though you've never heard it before.

"You seem young. Though it's rare for foxes to be born with more than one tail. I wonder why that is..."

>>666851
Yay, we're special! Ask more about Inari.

Maybe Inari had some extras lying around.

we are the best. that's why.

"What does it mean to have more than one tail?"

It had only been a couple weeks since you've been born. Maybe the amount of tails has to do with age? Ask how many she has.

Wow! You must be, like, more than two months old! Do you know where they sell meat buns?

Oh? How many tails do you have?

Oooh! Neeeat. *Stare at the floating spirit fire thing*

Hug new friend.

We don't know why we have three tails. How do other Kitsune normally get more than one tail?

Subtlety is for SCHMUCKS

Hey miss, why do you have a big burn on the side of your face?

"How many tails do you have?"

"I have 6, dearie."

"Oooh, how do foxes usually get their tails?"

"It's usually a reflection of how much spiritual power they possess. Naturally, you grow more powerful with age, but you can easily speed up that process by learning spiritual magic on your own. You must've been born with some bottled up magic, young one."

>>666852

"Hmm, can you tell me more about Inari?"

"The fair fox goddess? Ah, she's a beautiful creature. Legend says she's the one who creates all the foxes in the world. We all live to serve her. She possesses extraordinary magic...currently she's living in a grand temple in the middle of a vast forest. I used to live there alongside her."

"Really? Why'd you leave?"

The older fox lifts the hair from the left side of her face, pointing at it.

"I did a lot of bad things while I was there...this scar is a mark of my defiance. Inari punished me for all the wrong I committed...now all I can use my foxfire for is to make these simple wood burnt pictures.

>>667209
Um. You have an awful lot of nice things to say about her even though she hurt you!

Well we think that's mean! Let's go to Inari's forest palace and tell her to lift the curse!

ask if she can teach you how to unlock your power.

>>667209
Advise the older fox to forge herself a metal mask and take over an Eastern European country.

"Can you teach me how to unlock my powers?"

"Teach you? Mmm...I might be able to offer a few tips and tricks. It'd be better than sitting here all day."

"Also...you...you're awfully nice to this Inari. Even though she's done a lot of mean things to you."

"It was all my fault. Inari did what she had to. I don't hold it against her, 'sides, gave me a chance to get out of that temple, heh."

"Maybe...we can go to her forest place and tell her to lift the curse!"

"Ah...I don't think that'd be a great idea, little one. She wouldn't be happy to see me."

oh.. okay. well, what's the first tip?

sorry didn't mean to upset you... sooooo what can you tell me about this town?

I think she'd understand that you were sorry for all the stuff you did and end your punishment.

But our attention span's not terribly long. Teach me cool kitsune stuff! Starting with... making these wood charrings!

Clearly she needs to capture the avatar to regain her honor.

>>667236
Aw. Okay. You don't want to make anyone unhappy.

Show me a trick, then!

Hug new friend to cheer her up.

>>667236
time to start training to depose this god of all Kitsune.

We will become god!

>>667236
training montage go

>>667362
Make sure not to make any "eye of the tiger" jokes in front of Yobi.

What kind of stuff could you use foxfire for back when you had only three tails yourself?

"Oh, well okay then! What kinda stuff can ya teach me then? I wanna learn magic!"

"I'm excited to see what kind of things are stored in those tails of yours..."

She opens up the flap to her tent and shoos you outside. Yobi then leads you away from the trading post to a tiny field nearby.

"This should do. Yes. Now, the most basic spell foxes need to learn is their fire. We're nothing without a bit of fire magic."

She conjures up a tiny blue ball of flames.

"What do you use them for, Yobi?"

"Light, mostly. It creates dramatic effect. But it's also useful for burning possible opponents. Foxes are naturally immune to fox fire, normal fire? Not so much. Just try and concentrate energy into the palm of your hand. See if that works."

Um, if I'm like super full of lots of magic from the extra tails, my little fire won't be really big, right? I don't want to burn down the forest or something.

Try, but be careful, Kitsune. Make it little.

>>667779
Try to make a little lick of fire in your hand. Then try making it bigger. See how big you can make it!

Go for a kamehameha on your first attempt.

Try to not burn the tree.

MAKE IT AS BIG AS YOU CAN!

Let's go for control. Only put in as much power as needed, and focus on slowly amping up the ante until we've got a max power blaze going.

Raise your hand towards the skies and shout "NYAAA~!" while releasing all your power.

I am all for moderation, we really need to try our hardest to keep the flame small. Otherwise we risk not having another teacher!

You don't think that trying to make a huge fire all at once is a good idea. You start out with a small flame, whispering "Nyaaaa." as you do it. This causes Yobi to raise an eyebrow at you, but she doesn't question it.

A tiny spark begins to flare off in your hand, then a small fireball.

"Ah, now you're getting it."

You begin to giggle, getting excited about your new achievement. The flame suddenly begins to maniacally burst forth, causing you to scream.

Turn it off!

Or shoot it strait up and away where it can't hurt anything.

BUUUUUUURN, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! Embrace the power!

Clap your hands together to snuff it out!

PANIC

suck it in like it's water!

You're naturally immune to it, calm down.

clap hands together before you set something on fire that probably shouldn't be on fire.

Stay calm, and ask yobi how to make it stop. Remember it can't hurt you.

Keep pumping energy into it! She can't evaluate your strength properly if you don't!

>The flame suddenly begins to maniacally burst forth, causing you to scream.
Up, UP! Into the sky! Is it a bird? A falling star? No! It's a Fox Fire Phoenix!

Fall over backwards and stab the sky with a mile-high blazing spear.

Eat it.

Eat it.

Eat it.

Calm yourself, and check if this is your limit. If so, then halt the flames. If not...Make sure you're not burning anything, but keep going.

It needs to be bigga.

chow time
(Eat it.)

That's right. It can't hurt you. You calmly look over at Yobi, frowning.

"H-How do I make it stop! What do I do?!" She smiled warmly at you.

"Just calm down. The key to magic is concentration. Just will it to go away. Spread your energy evenly across your body."

You squeeze your eyes shut and let your arms relax, the flames disappearing almost instantly.

"There you go. I must say, little one, you have quite a bit of pent up energy. I wonder where you get it from."

Yobi sat down on the grass, motioning with her hands.

"See if you can create floating flames. Ones you don't have to control manually. Concentrate your power onto a spot in the air, and snap your fingers."

Good, we didn't burn the forest down.

>snap for flames
Try and make a tune!

Time to form a style.

How about Fire Boots? You can attack enemies by simply running around them! Plus, explosion-based jumps.

Snap paw in a z-formation.

Oh this sounds cool. Make three of them, and use them to practice juggling.

You snap your fingers in a zig-zag pattern, three balls of fire popping into thin air. You gasp out in excitement, and attempt to juggle them. They all explode in your face.

"I wouldn't advise doing that until you have better control."

well, you got something, lets try the basic instead. simple snap.

Try batting them away before they explode in your face, this time. And make them bigger!

Siiiiigh. Okay.

Snap once. Watch what it does. If it doesn't explode, snap again.

Ok, this time just make one. Then practice making it float around you in quick bursts. Once you've practiced that repeat while saying "Hey!' and 'Listen!' in the most annoying way possible.

Make one and stuff it down your clothes. See if you can keep it from burning anything but air.

>>668473
Uhh...I wouldn't recommend using your CLOTHES to practice that on, first thing.

>>668419
Just make one biiig one. Like the first time around, but floaty.

Just make one and play one-player hot-potato with it between your hands. See if you can hold it together like that.

>>668419
Let's try just one then.

>>668701
And make it the best!

Wonder what foxfire tastes like. It's blue! Does blue taste good?

>>668419
Try to make fire come out of your ears.

>>668419
Make a little necklace out of foxfire.
