    [Morning Service]

    Ven walks into the sanctuary planning on spending some time in the garden before work. She has come here before enjoying sitting quietly by herself in the gardens. Occasionally humming low note normally impossible for humans to hear, though I am not sure about foxes range of hearing. She often goes through a series of meditative exercises from when she was a priestess herself.

    She normally times her visits when there aren't services being held so not to disturb the people who actually worship Inari. So the green skinned woman is checking her watch when she comes in wondering if she somehow has the wrong time.

    Admittedly, it's a pretty narrow band, but it's used for a lot of things!

    With the skeletons cleared out, Plum follows in, looking around this level. Nai takes the stairs up two at a time.

    Kitnick chuckles

    Well... that concept doesn't really apply: we pretty much never wear more than one layer of clothing. And we tried to never go out into direct sunlight to begin with: that's a fast way to die no matter what clothing you might have.

    I grew up in a little village on the edge of the biggest desert in the world: the hottest summer day I've seen here in Inside is like a mild Spring morning back home. We didn't go outside between just before noon and just before sunset for nearly half of the year.




    [Sheep Moon]

    Calicyra chuckles

    Visible light carries too little energy to be truly useful. Upper-band infrared is more readily absorbed and converted to heat by organic matter: I use the visible light spectrum mostly for show. The ultraviolet bands and beyond which would actually damage her eyesight is generally pointless against undead: they do not employ the cellular mechanisms or depend upon genetic material that those energies would disrupt.

    Krystal grumbles, still blinking at the spots

    It still sucks

    Up the stairs! Lots of stairs, 'round and 'round, around a solid central column. Standard strange wizard construction that sacrifices a good deal of material for no immediately useful purpose other than elevation.

    Outside, Anraja nods

    Oh yes, quite unintelligent: only just barely able to gather the resources we need them to collect. But they are inexpensive, durable, and low-maintenance, and their lack of intelligence makes them easy to control... Zerglings, for instance, would be able to reduce a crystal deposit to rubble faster, but they would rapidly become bored and wander off - and the would never bring the mined materials back to the hive cluster.

    Caroline looks up with a bright smile, her ears perking up

    Greetings, neighbor: the blessings of Inari be upon you. What can we do for you today?

    Nai frowns. They don't think that's how light works. But Calicyra would probably know better. "Okay. Perhaps don't blind your allies just for show?" she suggests.

    Up they go! Elevation is its own reward.

    Outside, a smile.

    Ven smiles back giving a slight bow of greeting. "Thank you. I was going to meditate in your garden. I didn't sleep much last night, and it seemed unlikely I would get much this morning before work. So I had thought I would come and try and clear my mind of my worries before I head into work."

    The young woman does look tired, though it may be harder to tell than with races more common. One of the main signs tends to be a slight dulling of the green tone of her skin. Another the veins in her air sacks on her neck become visible, sort of like a bloodshot eye. The latter being covered by the long scarf she has wrapped around her delicate neck.

    Felina shakes her head

    Let's also wait to see if they're actually here for something besides cola! And on that note: can we get this thing out of the sanctuary? I'm all for tradition, but times have changed since Fenric built this place. Let's put it over by the guest quarters. If someone walks all the way here just for their morning beverage, another hundred yards aren't going to kill them.

    Caroline looks uncertain

    Perhaps...
    Genji's ears fold down, embarrassed at having forgotten such an important part of the morning service. "Err... if you don't mind, why not put the vending machine in the cafeteria? Sure, it'd be competing with the beverages we already serve on a nightly basis, but if people enjoy it with their meals that much, then it's worth a shot...?" His tail twitches nervously, looking from Felina to Caroline and praying to Inari that they don't bite his head off at the neck...

    Noticing their guest, he hurries over to her with his fellow acolyte Hatsu, "Blessing of Inari be upon you..." He murmurs, offering a rice-ball to Ven.

    Krystal grumbles, and Calicyra snorts

    Fine, fine.

    Up to another landing and two more skeletons! These have a palpable aura about them and seem better preserved. Krystal frowns

    These are a little different than I'm used to seeing.


    [Bathhouse]

    Kitnick chuckles at the litany of "problems" that he only saw as "just the way things are". But...

    Wow... Skyside sounds pretty bad! What was it like?


    [Morning Service]

    Felina nods to Genji as Caroline continues to look uncertain about rearranging the traditional arrangement of appliances. Neither seems particularly annoyed, at any rate.

    Caroline smiles at Ven

    I am sorry to hear that. And certainly: the garden is a wonderful place for meditation. Welcome!

    Then Genji comes up with the service tray, and Caroline's smile broadens just a bit.

    Ven takes the rice ball with a small bow. "Thank you, um and thank Inari. She says first to Genji, then to the alter and if I remember right the statue of Inari. She will also accept the sake with similar thanks.

    Then turning back to Caroline. "They really are. They remind me of some of the nicer temples back home. My home world that is, I am an offworlder."

    "What's different about them?" Is it the lack of skeletal tails?

    Nai directs Calicyra to the skeleton on the right while gilding along, barely touching the landing, to launch a kick at the other one.

    [Sanctuary?]

    Just after the cancelled morning service, as people are going this way and that, a low-ranking* priestess of Inari goes up to Steven.

    "Um, Senior Priest, sir, could I speak with you?"

    *Presumably, though exactly where is a fair question. Moving up from Acolyte to Novice is not difficult, and one might expect Bloom to have been promoted based on magical ability alone. But these things don't always go as we expect.

    "Well, I was hoping you could explain something I'd been wondering about. Apparently, before I joined, it was suggested to the queen that it might be better if I joined Tamamo's priesthood. But she insisted, because of the rice. What would make someone suitable to one or the other?"

    "I mean...we don't not have rice. In theory Inari has rice more than Tamamo does just because rice doesn't grow as much at night. Really, it's mostly a difference in outlook. We in Tamamo's faith cover the nogitsune, the were-foxes. We open our doors to more people that are less...or rather, more free-spirited maybe, is the better word? The nogitsune can be a bit more pernicious, if I'm being frank. They'd probably be insulted if I said otherwise. In a sense, it comes down to there being a slightly different, less strict structure under Tamamo. A little more spontenaity. And also it's for folks who are normally up at three in the morning and asleep at six. " he explains. Sometime I want to say strong words at Keiko. he grumbles.

    Bloom listens intently, a little concerned by his description of the nogitsune. She speaks up suddenly at the end.

    "Oh, I don't mean to keep you awake, sir. Thank you for the explanation. I hadn't realized they were so alike."
    It all makes sense. Tamamo is basically the moon. She can understand that.

    This isn't my home, either, so I know what you mean. Where are you from, if you don't mind my asking?

    Calicyra's blazing light illuminates the skeleton brightly, highlighting a protective field encasing each bone but doing essentially nothing

    Gah! These are protected more thoroughly than the last pair.

    Nai's foot finds a similarly solid and unyielding protection. Worse, contact with the skeleton tugs at Nai's life force: seeking to drain a bit of it away.

    Krystal begins preparing a spell herself

    Great... more augmented undead. You forgot to mention that this wizard was a necromancer, you miserable hunk of glass.

    Ugh. That feels terrible, having a bit of life slip away. Left cold and weak.

    "Cover your ears." Plum warns. That might be less helpful to a werefox than to a humanoid with their little round ears, but it gives some idea of what to expect.

    Nai backs away, holding up Calicyra to ward the skeletons away - he doesn't even have a life force. Right? Probably?
    Then she snaps her fingers (of the other hand), magically boosting the sound into a coherent wave hopefully capable of Shattering some dusty old bones.

    A new person enters! This visitor is...strange. Namely, she's something like a centaur, with the upper body of a woman in her 30's, somewhat soft but with a solid frame and still with curves to turn some heads, and the lower body and ears of, well, a very healthy looking dairy cow. She's wearing a blouse seemingly made of rimed frost that constantly shifts when you look away. She seems a bit nervous.

    The shatter is effective: taking the skeleton's right arm entirely away with a good number of ribs on the left side. The skeleton...

    doesn't seem to notice, and leaps at Nai with no further aim than to touch!

    Calicyra indeed has no life energy any longer: thrice ten thousand years have passed since he walked as a living mortal. Nevertheless, he is not pleased with the current events

    Oi! You oaf! You dodge like an elementary schoolgirl! The head: aim for the head! I have more frequencies available than I have used so far: I control ALL LIGHT!

    Krystal's spell is shattered by the noise and she clamps her hands to her ears and hunkers down on the ground.

    Outside, Anraja looks up

    What a peculiar sound... I do wonder what goes on inside. Perhaps it is time to spawn a larva to extend our sensory range?

    Kitnick licks his lips

    That sounds really good! And I know what you mean: at our main welcome dinner, I got two pieces of rice with a tiny scrap of some weird meat on top.

    Kitnick sadly doesn't realize that exquisite welcome sushi was fatty toro, worth a bit over what he is paid each month... per piece.

    Yes, that is quite familiar. I came from the world of

    and if you haven't gone to YouTube and heard what a fox sounds like, then you can't imagine what the name is. But take a happy and comfortable fox's squeaks, and overlay them with Antares AutoTune as if someone was trying to make it sound like speech, and you'd have a good notion.

    But the wood-elves lived to the south of us, and a fair number of our relatives use their language.

    so clearly there was something in the mix that seemed familiar

    Caroline is still here. Somewhat despondent at the failure of all of her plans, but resolute that she would not let either the people of the Nexus nor her Goddess down

    "Oh, sushi? I've never had it before, much less made it. Fish aren't a huge thing in Riverside since we only have fish from the rivers nearby. I'll look into it, but I don't know if I'll ever figure out how to eat things with sticks." Sam admits, though genuinely interested.

    Winry flinches. As the Mother in Winter, she has a knack for sensing children and mothers and in such a populated area that sense is nearly screaming at her. At least Caroline counts as neither of those things.
    "Yes, uh, I'm sort of a new goddess and stuff so I, uh, wanted to get some advice on that...sort of thing. I had heard that your Lady has stopped in from time to time so I thought I'd uh, try to get some advice? She has crops I hear." Winry says slowly, not making eye contact.

    "Then use them!"
    Nai swings the ornery artifact towards the head of the leaping skeleton, but that's still a lot of bones to keep off - another chunk of life energy slips away.

    Outside, a shake aof the head 'no'.
    "We have plenty of sense there. They've destroyed two undead guards, and encountered a stronger pair on the next level up. It's inflicted some moderate damage on one of us, and vice versa. Our coordination with Krystal and Calicyra is notably poor, but we should get through all the same."
    "Maybe there's something else you could do that would be useful, in the meantime?"

    "Yeah thankfully Ranyalian has some commonalities with common here. I can mimic languages fine, but I am not that great at learning them. I think three is my limit for languages." She mimics Caroline's pronunciation of her home world. Her mimicking of Caroline is spot on, her voice matching nearly exactly.

    Caroline nods

    Surprisingly well done: most people without muzzles find the word difficult to pronounce. It is fascinating how many different places people come from, so much variety.


    [Wizard's Tower]

    Krystal has just regained her feet when Calicyra launches a withering blast of far less mundane light: bathing the skeleton in a mix of devastating Radiance and Chaos that rips through the shielding and burns the necromantic spells that power the skeleton away. Even the reflected light from that display is quite unpleasant to the shadowy vixen, and Krystal drops to the ground in a quivering heap.

    Outside, Anraja looks around thoughtfully

    Our surveys of this moon turned up remarkably little: it is a misshapen lump of low-density silicate rock... but I could plant a creep colony and see how well it fares here inside this artificial area.

    Kitnick shakes his head

    I completely gave up on the sticks and just used my fingers. I dunno how much of a hurry I'd be in to eat it again, to be honest: it was way too bland... but the green paste they served it with was pretty tasty.


    [Sanctuary]

    Caroline nods, genuinely interested

    Oh my! We have had several people stop by for advice like that, yes, and both Inari and Tamamo have come to chat from time to time. And as far as crops go, Inari is the goddess of rice: that is actually her main portfolio. We're more of a side venture, you might say.

    "How does that second part qualify as light?"Nai complains.
    There was another one further back, yes? She tries shattering the thing, specifically focusing the vibrations on the skull this time.

    Plum does her best to catch Kyrstal.
    "Are you okay?"
    It wasn't that bright, was it?

    "True. The moon's utility is its combination of proximity to the planet and lack of reasons for visitors to arrive. Try it."

    "Yeah, I gotcha. So...how long do you want to stay here? I think you're not supposed to stay in these things for too long or something. " Sam asks, not really sure what he's talking about.

    Sanctuary

    "Oh dear, don't sell yourself short. You're lovely. Now I don't know if I can over you and your Ladies more than help with snow and needy babes and the critters in your stable, but I wouldn't ask for their help for nothing. They just have to say the word." Winry insists.

    "Thanks I've had a lot of training with my voice. I'd be a little surprised if there was a language around here I couldn't mimic." Ven's race has a incredibly complex series of organs that acts like vocal cords. "I know, that was one of the reasons I moved here. So many interesting people coming together. The whole culture here is amazing."
