<div></div> Three figures stand, each an imposing presence, not for their height, as they are relatively short, with pudgy faces and a bit of a smile that seems to not want to go away. Despite that, the air simmers around them with an untold force. The one at the head of them, the only female of the bunch, speaks out again, "Bring forth your leader, or his chosen speaker at once, we request audience." They look like Tanuki, with striped tails and soft features. They are well dressed, as if for some fuedal Japanese court in elegant kimonos. A curious Faemera scampers closer through the street, seemingly unhindered by her pregnant belly. She cuatiously approaches the three to see what may happen next. Fenris trots up in his bulky stagtaur form. He had intended to stop by Zephyr to do a bit of trading, and had adopted the four legged shape for extra carrying capacity, but the appearance of the strange tanukis had stopped him before he ever reached the building. "I don't represent Zephyr," he says, "But I would be happy to offer assistance if you need anything." He shifts around a bit on his hooves. At least they didn't LOOK hostile, right? Sunochi, this time in a nice kimono, steps forward, the kitsune's tails behind her swaying idly, the trail of wisps floating off the tips of those fluffy tails. Shi bows forward, showing off respect to the Tanuki. "Greetings fellow siblings of the shrine. How is it that we can assist you today? While I don't speak for Zephyr, I am affiliated with them and can relay any message you wish." Lizzie walks out into the street, clad in her typical black combat boots, tank top, jean shorts, and pistol holsters the human was nicely armed. The drones ready to deploy and Grace nearby certainly helped matters as well. "The fuck are you supposed to be? I don't even know if there's a fuckin' real leader of anywhere around this god damn place anyway. But I'll talk to ya if there's some sort of bullshit ya need takin' care of 'round here. This ain't a place with just a single god damn government or shit like that anymore. Who the fuck are you representin' anyway?" Karalie narrows her icy eyes across at these strange beings. She was no stranger to the savage, leering feral menace, but these self assured and most worryingly, confident beings stayed her hand. Icy eyes drew tight as she glowered at the three beings through the iron sights of her assault rifle. "Stay right there!" she snapped, feeling even more ill at ease at the deadly calm these things showed, most feral filth would be whooping and howling by now. Slowly and with great precision, Karalie lowered a gloved hand to tap a button on her coms unit, sending out a crackling signal to nearby RSX units for backup. She blinks in surprise as she hears movement, then confusion filling her mind as it was not a feral ambush, but civilians who bravely set forth to face off against these things. "W-what the hell? Be careful! They may be feral! Keep your distance!" Karalie barks, quietly knowing just how stubborn the civilians are in Fairhaven, especially when it comes to RSX Morten arrives on the street the strange Tanuki's stand, eyebrows raised as she looks over them and as the new people arrive to greet them, she sighs and moves to the side to avoid saying anything that might cause offence, leaving that job to the strangers greeting the Tanuki's. Grace tries very hard to keep her composure as Lizzie... delicately handles the situation. Sometimes the human's blue streak just makes her laugh. She nudges her with her elbow, then whispers, "They don't look like much, but they smell like trouble. Maybe try lawyer mode?" Technetium slips around the corner, small pistol in front. She quickly lowers is once she sees they're not immediately hostile. As she walks out into the street, her entire form becomes, more apparent. The dual fennec tails following her is tense, and her ears twitches nervously. Her labcoat gently ripples as it follows her, and the RSX insignia glints on it's shoulder. She approaches the rest of the part carefully, and nods to the strange inter-dimensional creatures. She quickly tries to talk to one of the party to see what's going on. Lizzie glances down at her alert on her comm, Karalie's general call for RSX units alerting her as an active member. "If they were god damn feral they'd be already tryin' ta fuck us eight ways to Hotel Oblivion. Since they got clothes and talkin' shit like that then it's arleady a god damn step up." The mercenary calls back, eyes flicking over toward Grace as she is nudged. "Eh? I hate talkin' all british and shit but if ya really want I could." Fenris snorts when he hears the cry from above. "Feral!?" he calls out, "They are Tanuki! It doesn't get much more civilized around here!" He bows to the obviously powerful tanuki with his human-ish upper half. "We mean no offense," he says, "but I hope you can understand our caution." Linasha lets out the softest eep as a human speaks. The presance of weapons such harsh words does not bode well and she beats a hasty retreat. Given the choices presented to her, the female Tanuki turns to regard Sunochi and Fenris, "Honored hosts, we humbly approach to offer terms of your new lord and master. He values the work of Zephyr and wishes it continue under his benevolent leadership." For the moment, the rude comments are ignored as if they were not spoken. Fenris blinks at the strange ultimatum. "Our new Lord and Master?" The stagtaur looks around, "Again, I am no speaker for Zephyr, but ai do not think they recognize any power but their own. Who are you representing?" He does not seem too worried yet, after all, the tanuki seemed very calm and reasonable so far. Grace points at Sunochi and Fenris. "I think they've got the right idea," she says to Lizzie. "These guys don't seem overtly hostile, and swearing's not gonna get you anywhere." She fastens the holster on the pistol Lizzie had lent her, and looks around at the rest of the forming crowd. A nearby fox seems to be asking what's going on, so Grace informs her that she has no idea, but it's interesting. Sunochi gives another bow, smiling. "Terms of a new lord and master?" the kitsune questions with a hint of curiosity into her voice, giving a look towards Fenris. "I'm afraid I did not bring drink or food in offering for a more relaxed environment to speak in, my apologies." she thinks a moment, turning to Fenris, then back towards the Tanuki. "So you wish to commit a takeover of Zephyr to continue their work? If I may ask, what is the gain of this for the Tanuki? As with Fenris, I'm unable to speak for Zephyr as well, but we will act as messengers for you." Karalie, still a rookie by RSX standards seems somewhat both relieved and flustered at what is unfolding before her. The beasts are thankfully not leaping and scratching at each other...yet they don't seem to realize, or care for the threat that is a loaded assault rifle bearing over them. Her nose twitches slightly as the dry sting of ozone reaches her senses. "..Techie, I'm glad you're here." She says, glancing over her shoulder towards her fellow agent. "I think something's going down..or not." Karalie lowers her rifle ever so slightly, watching the robed officals have a formal chat in the middle of the ruins of Fairhaven. When she spies the surprised expressions of Fenris and some others, she too, echos those words "..new lord and master?" She opens her mouth to speak, then stops, quietly reminding herself that when it came to these kind of politics, she was no expert. She shoots a worried glance to Techie, then frowns, keeping her eyes and rifle at the ready. Morten rolls her eyes and shakes her head, moving forward "If I might interject, you clearly are of high enough intelligence to understand that, just calling out to meet the 'leader' of a group will most likely not get you the audience you seek and in all honest you might be wasting your time here... though far be it from me to play diplomat in this situation" she smirks, moving back off to the side and leaning against one of the walls with a slight disinterested look in her eyes as the others argue and sputter amongst themselves. "God damn it. Fine." Lizzie says, pulling out her collar and putting in on. A small button was flicked afterwards, altering her speech patterns to something a bit more appropriate. The mercenary hadn't constructed it and if it was even actually tech or just a psychological quirk she didn't know or really care. The results still stood though. "Ah, pardon me good sirs, madams, and those of you with both. I do believe this initial encounter is perhaps best suited to occur in a more appropriate surrounding. Would you all like to accompany me to one of the Zephyr meeting rooms so this matter can be discussed and resolved most ammicably. Perhaps you would enjoy a small amount of refreshment as well? I'm certain we can sent a missive to the heads of Zephyr should it be required but alas, none of us here have call to fully accept any offer on behalf of the others." Technetium sighs, seeing that more post-apocalyptic politics are about to come into play, with her tails dropping slightly, and her oversized ears doing the same. She sticks the pistol in an inside coat pocket, and then takes out a clipboard with a pencil, prepared to write their demands/requests/threats/peaceofferings. She whispers to Karalie "We are RSX. They are clearly requesting Zephyr diplomats. It'd be best if we hung back a second and see if they call us. I'd prefer not to start a faction war," "Take over?" speaks the female Tanuki, "That is a term without grace. We offer protection and elegance. Lord Tanuki is a kind soul, and this is a very dangerous world. Under his aegis you will be much safer. He admires your art and values your craftsmen. It is a great honor to be a member of his nation." she says, each note sweet and inviting as that pudgy face smiles with endless optimism. "Will you not carry word of this to your leader, so that they may properly accept it? I'm afraid we intend to approach no further than we already have. It has been a gross breach of etiquette to make our demands this close to your own lord's demense, but we have no other way to reach them." The two other, male, tanuki are not quite as cheerful. Their smiles are more like smirks, and their stances are tense and ready, as if they were ready to leap into action. Karalie nods sternly upon hearing Technetium's advice. She lowers her rifle and straightens up, standing at a somewhat forced ease as she watches the talks unfold. Her expression remains stern however as she spies the malicious grins upon the other tanuki. She shoots a glance towards Technetium, gesturing lightly across to the beasts. Fenris shakes his head at Morton and Lizzie's um, contributions then looks back at the lead tanuki. "We are honored by your presence, Lady," he says, "But I don't think that the leader of Zephyr will acquiesce to your demands, or even accept your missive." He shrugs hus broad shoulders. "I fear that I am not even personally an agent for Zephyr," he adds, "Just an interested party. But I can certainly try if you will grant us a few days time." Grace turns around, walks a few paces away, and quietly starts shaking with laughter. As funny as vulgar Lizzie is, formal Lizzie is even better. It takes her a moment to catch her breath before she returns to the human's side, trying desperately not to burst out laughing again. "Yeah, like that," she says. The kitsune looks over towards Fenris, hmming softly, whispering towards him with a curious notion upon her face. "Then I apologize for my poor choice of words then." she turns back towards the Tanuki, Suno's tails twitch a bit as she gives the two males a curious look. "As my partner here has said, it's a possibility they will not accept your request, however we see no harm in trying. Peaceful contact and negotiation are much better than alternatives..." as she gives a look behind her, a sigh coming upon her before turning back to the three Tanuki. "A few days time is what we request in exchange, Lady." "The others speak true. The leader of Zephyr is most reclusive and I do not know their name. It is highly doubtful that they would be interested in following your lords missives in any case." Lizzie says, smacking Grace's backside once for bothering to laugh at her again. "Would someone associated more firmly with the company go to pass along the missive here? My connection to Zephyr is already tenuous and I have little doubt that any passing on of messages by myself would be met with little more than a taciturn refusal." Technetium shakes her head slightly, even though noticing the other Tanuki's apparently malicious intent. "They're a guard for a political envoy" she whispers "It's standard procedure." She twitches her ears slightly, as if exclusivley focusing on the Tanuki now. A delicate frown mars that perfect smile of the Tanuki's, "This is most distressing. A leader that refuses to be seen by his people is a poor leader indeed. Lord Tanuki wishes to smile on all his people, of all stations in life. Now that his followers," she looks pointedly towards Morten with a bright smile, "Have opened the way, he is ready to embrace the suffering people of this world." Morten raises an eyebrow before her cheeks blush a soft shade of red under her fur "Hey woah woah you cant prove I did anything... " she responds, shaking her head and holding up her hands in a passive-defence way. The kitsune gives a light nod, "While that is true..." she thinks a moment before continuing "I understand your position and your request, a visibile leader is always a respected one." come to think of it, when was the last time she saw Zephyr's leader? "Yes, all we request is three days time. Perhaps this is what we can do to convince the leader of Zephyr to come out and at least consider things. Will you be as kind to grant us this so we can attempt?" Fenris is a bit more worried now. "So what will you do now?" he asks, not so worried for Zephyr as for the poor saps like himself who were about to get caught up in a tanuki 'embrace.' "I fear that neither I, nor the other Promethians have much clout in these matters," he says, shifting on his hooves. Karalie shifts her weight slightly, tightening her jaw and steeling her eyes as she carefully watches the two tanuki guards. With such monsters wrapped in the trappings of civility, she was already ill at ease, even more so when they started to speak about a Lord wishing to embrace the people. Karalie leans over slightly to the smallish Technetium, whispering faintly into one of those perky ears. "..shouldn't we send a heads up to Zephyr at least? Does this kind of thing happen often?" She warily returns her gaze to the regal three, watching with worry as the civilians confidently chat face to face with the possible hostiles. Grace wiggles her rear a little. "I'm not sure they get how the command structure of a corporation works," she says. Then again, she's not quite sure either, but she's pretty sure Zephyr's CEO is in charge of Fairhaven. "But those two are handling things, I guess. You can go back to regular now." "While I do share your sentiment about the leadership of Zephyr I have little doubt that such negotiations directly with the lord of the corporation will reach them and certainly many agents here would no doubt oppose any such actions. As a member of another faction I have little desire to work underneath an entity such as yours." Lizzie says with a raised eyebrow. "I will not bend knee to any creature without seeing a reason to be taken under wing lest they prove to be little more than a paper tiger fluttering away in the breeze. There have been other incursions into territory by those of a less... terrestrial nature I suppose. Things have not progressed well as of yet but I'm sure there are researchers inside who would love to discuss the nature of your transformations with you in another setting." Well negotiations seem to be going ok and it was true that Morten and Sunochi did seem to be more apt to succeed in this situations so she reached up and pulled the device off her neck, rather finished with the discussion for the moment unless hotter heads previaled over cool. The frown deepens, "The lord will be most distraught, but we have waited this long. To refuse three days time would be uncultured of us." Heaven forbid! Her smile returns then, "We will return in three days time. But, I offer a chance." She looks around then, breaking her lock on Fenris and Sunochi, "Who would wish to accompany us, to Lord Tanuki's presence? He will have need for his own agents, and they will be rewarded most richly for their dedication." Morten blinks, ears perking up at the word 'reward' quickly moving forward and raising a paw "Oh me! me please, I like rewards and I can offer as much dedication as your lord might be needin' of a reliable soul such as my honorable self" she nods, not one for modesty it seems. Fenris perks his pointed ears at this. A chance to meet THE tanuki!? That could be exciting! "I would be honored to meet your Lord Tanuki!" he says, bowing at the waist. The stagtaur's lithe legs dance around a bit of their own volition in his excitement. "And we are very grateful for the boon of three days time," he says, doing his best to sound solemn. Lizzie blinks a few times and looks over toward Grace then back toward the delegation sent over. "Eh, well I guess fuckin' around to wander over and check that shit out might not be bad. You want to go see what the fuck they are offerin' over whereever? Sounds like at least an interestin' sight seein' tour right?" She asks her companion, heading over closer toward the group for a free trip somewhere that might have some nice sites to see. THe kitsune steps forward then. "Inari might speak down on me for this, however, its my personal belief to assist all in hopes that a better world can be made." a pause. "I'll be content to meet your Lord in person as well. A mutual benefit from a kitsune to a Tanuki and vice versa." she gives a bow of thanks, "And we thank you from our deepest wells for the three days of time. I promise not to squander this grace of time you've given us." Technetium steps out of the crowd towards the Tanuki, and calmly says. "I am from RSX, another local corporation. I would like to also accompany you to see if we can not build more friendly relations between our peoples. I do not carry any weight with Zephyr, however, so bear that in mind." Her face remains fairly expressionless, but her clipboard's paper is now brimming with text. "Of course, if you do not mind." "Child of Tanuki!" exclaims the female, offering a hand towards Morten, "His faith in you was well founded. Come and meet your father. He will be delighted to see you in person." she insists in a jubilant tone. "It is good that the path is now open." One of the two males inhales sharply, then makes a motion as if exhaling, but no air exits his muzzle. Instead his kimono parts explosively as his testicles inflate out, somehow forming a small hut, door included, parked just beside him. The other guard moves to the door and opens it. "Please, this way," speaks the female, gesturing at the opened portal and the darkness beyond. Grace perks up a little at the extra-dimensional raccoon's offer. "Huh. That sounds interesting," she says to Lizzie. "Could be a good chance to find out more about this leader guy." She raises her hand, and walks forward a little. "I would like to come as well," she says. Using every ounce of diplomacy she can muster, she continues, "It would be a great honor to meet our new leader before he has officially taken control." They're treating it like a foregone conclusion, so she figures she should too. Karalie watches carefully as the mutants continue talks that seem to fly over her head. Tanuki? Princes? Dedications? She's broken from her thoughts by Technetium's voice, clearly announcing her willingness to go. "T-Techie?!" Karalie quickly strides forward by the side of her fellow agent. "What are you doing?" She hisses quietly into her ear. "Are you sure we should get involved with this?" She glances quickly from each civilian to the tanuki mutants, already feeling greatly out of her depth. Gunfights were easy, simple...politics were a whole different bag![[Category:RPLogs]] [[Category:Nuku_Events]]

<div></div> Stepping into the testicle-hut is like stepping into a hole. Fur rushes past and heat builds before the agents are dropped onto their feet gracelessly at the sandal clad feet of the female tanuki. Her two guards are behind her as if nothing had happened. The place is different, however. Dense forest presses from all around, and the calls of birds and other small animals call out in symphony. The air is fresh, the sun, bright, where it peeks through the canopy. "Welcome," she says, "To his realm." Morten blinks, dusting herself off and looking around "Woah-... I love it here already!" she smiles, taking a deep inhale of the fresh air "Oh yes~ I like it here alot" she smiles, bowing to the Tanuki woman "Thank you and thank you to his grace that allows us to be in this most prestigious of places" she nods. Fenris staggers back to his hooves and stares around him in wonder. He had seen many strange things since P-Day, but testicle travel really took the cake! "That was. . . stunning," he says, then does his best to compose himself, straightening his long, dark coat over his hindquarters. Technetium emerges from the portal, stepping out calmly, looking around at the scene. She is quickly writing notes in page after page of the clipboard, each one filled with text. She looks at the Tanuki that had led the party there. "Thank you for bringing us to this place. I look foward towards meeting your leader." She says formally, finishing with a quick, polite smile. "You," she says, looking to Morten, "Have only brushed against the side of his power. His entry to your realm was restricted, like a pin prick in silk. Here is where his power truly resides," she explains, "Though that is, like many things, only a half truth." She steps past the agents, moving along a trail she seems to know well, "Mind your manners, for he is lord of this realm. He is kind and jolly, but his patience has limits. If you wish his good favor, bow before him, then rub his belly." She glances over her shoulder, "He loves that." Fenris follows after the tanuki woman, doing his best not to look like a dumbstruck tourist while still trying to take in the remarkable surroundings. Morten smiles and nods before blinking "Huh... interesting, guess it makes sence most beings cant just wander into other realms with ease" she shrugs, moving along to follow the trail and the Tanuki "Anything we should -not- do in his presence then? " she asks as she idly looks around at the vast surroundings. Technetium walks at a tightly controlled pace behind the Tanuki woman. Her clipboard is now out of paper and she is filling in the margins with as much information as possible. When glinted at, there is also nonsensical mathematics seemingly trying to figure out interdimensional travel. She remains silent, still listening to the Tanuki Grace falls out of the portal a bit behind the others, and lands on her feet. She is a cat, after all. She looks around, stunned by the beauty of the place. Then she notices how far ahead of her the res are, and rushes to catch up. "Hey, what did I miss?" "You missed nothing," speaks the female, "For we are just arriving." At this, the forest parts, revealing a sprawling city. Tanuki, everywhere. Some are working in the fields, others are driving carts. Tanuki guards flank the gate into the city proper. She guides the group towards the main road leading into the place, dirt packed as it is. The architecture is very asian, with heavy hints of romance period Japan. Morten blinks and widens her eyes, smiling brightly as her fangs twinkle in the light "Ok, I adore it here... " she states gleefully, resisting the urge to run down and explore, she sighs and keeps following the Tanuki woman but keeps turning and spinning on the spot, in utter awe as she looks everywere she can, taking in every detail. Fenris feels rather out of place amongst all these tanuki in his big, stagtaur body, but does not wish to shift to another form, fearing that it might be an offense to his host. He clops along placidly behind the guide, looking at the archetecture with interest. "Where exactly are we?" he asks, not necessarily expecting an answer. Technetium observes the multitude of Tanuki, politely smiling at any that come close to her. She is now writing on the clipboard itself, and she is considering writing on the her labcoat. She continues following the woman, asking her. "How long has your civilization been? Not to be rude, but I am simply admiring your massive city." She flashes a quick polite smile. Grace finds all this formal talk a little excessive, but she figures failing to be at least a little polite would be a very bad idea. She falls into step with the rest of the group, ending up between Techie and Morten. "It's really pretty here," she purrs softly, unsure of what to say. "Lord Tanuki's realm," she replies as if it were obvious, "But if you refer to the city, it is Tai-wei, where he resides at current." Approaching the gate, they are swung open without word. The guards kneel down as the group approaches with an air of formality. It seems the entourage is known. Those not of the guard peer more curiously. A little chubby tanuki child points openly at the non-tanuki.

"Look dad, look! They're funny!" The child's presumed father claps a hand over his chubby little snout and hauls him away, berating his lack of manners.

"Long?" asks she, "That is difficult to say. I am an envoy, not a historian, and his realm has existed long before I, or any other I know save he." Morten smiles, still just enjoying looking at the city and landscape, she giggles and waves at the child before he is pulled away, making her ears lower before she quickly gets back on track with the Tanuki "This place is great, though I feel a little light-headed.. probably all the excitement" she smiles. Fenris's freckled face flushes at the Tanuki child's comment, but he supposes he must look very strange to someone who has only seen tanuki. "Is it far to the palace?" he asks, a little self concious and wishing that he hadn't assumed such a large form today. Technetium moves through the crowd silently, the hem of her coat beginning to have writing on it. She looks at the child for a second, then continues following their envoy. She feels only mildly conspicuious, being shorter then many of the Tanuki. Her oversized ears move erractically, latching on to random conversations then locking onto another one. Grace giggles softly, and smiles at the chubby little raccoon. "You don't get many visitors from outside the realm, do you?" "Please excuse him," speaks the child's father, who keeps a hand firmly in place on the child's face, "He is still young, pardon us." And woosh, off they run before more opportunity for shame comes up.

The diplomat steps up into a carriage that was waiting just beyond the gate, waiting for the others to board quietly. It seems walking through the city will not be required. Her guards hop up onto either side of the cart, riding on its outside. Grace giggles softly, and smiles at the chubby little raccoon as the group moves through the crowd. She glances over at the fennec, and notices that she's started writing on her coat, of all things. "Run out of room?" she asks. Morten smiles and moves up into the carriage, sitting down with a grin "The more time I spend here, the more Im enjoying myself, how much does it cost to rent a flat in this place?" she grins, leaning back into her seat with a happy sigh. Fenris looks at the cart and sighs. There is no way he will fit in there like this. The stagtaur closes his eyes and concentrates, his entire form blurring as if he had walked behind a pane of frosted glass. After a moment, the figure returns to focus with Fenris back in his usual feline form. He looks around, hoping that his shape changing wasn't some kind of taboo, then clambers up into the carriage, sitting beside the tanuki guide. "A flat?" asks the diplomat, sounding baffled at the word, "If you wish to become a serf of this land, you will be given a place to abide by the lord of where you live, and work as well." She nods towards the new feline as they enter, "We were told that the art of shapeshifting was common in your land, but I find it curious, it's lack of leaf or testicle. It is clear why He has such interest in your realm."

Once the group has gotten into the carriage, it lurches forward and begins being pulled by horses through the city. Peeking out through the shaded windows, one can see a rather bustling city of the coondog-folk, locked in what seems to be a feudal era Japan, with all the castes expected, from serfs to merchants to samurai and nobles. Technetium steps up into the carriage, nodding silently at Grace's comment. She climbs into the cart, sitting next to Morten, with her dual tails trailing her. Yet more of her coat is filled with data and notes, and she mutters "I'm going to need to buy another labcoat when I get back." quietly to herself. She leans foward in the seat, still writing. She comments to the Tanuki woman. "You have a well-constructed city, and an organized city system. It reminds me of our own acient Japan." Fenris nods to the Tanuki. "It is common enough since the advent of the nanites," he says about shape shifting, "Though most would say that it has nothing to do with magic, I find the power quite wonderous." He gives a little lopsided smile, "Though I cannot do the, uh, remarkable things that your shape shifters can do, I am able to assume many different forms." While the view outside the window was impressive, Fenris is far more interested in their guide through this strange land. And Lord Tanuki's claim to be the new Lord and Master of Fairhaven. Or was it just Zephyr he wanted? Grace can't help but find the chubby Tanuki wearing Samurai armor adorable. She's sure they're every bit as dangerous as anyone else would be, but they're just so cute. "It's common, but not universal," Grace says. "I, for instance, can't change my shape at all, except for maybe my weight." Morten blinks and shakes her head "Sorry, uhhh.. Home, house-... place to reside while not working as a serf" she shrugs, "But i'll ask later then, when its a better time... and shaftshifting is pretty comon aye, comes more naturally to some than others" she nods. "Why would any good lord lay claim to a hill, no matter how majestic, and not claim the land surrounding it? This would be poor in tactics as well as in grace." explains the diplomat as the carriage draws close to not a palace, but a shrine, much like the one back home. The cart stops just before it, and the door is pulled open. "We are here. Remember what I have told you, for I will not be guiding you any further. He will send you home when your audience is complete." Technetium nods at the shapeshifting comment, and prepares to demonstrate herself. She hesitates for a second, and prepares to demonstrate something else. Holding out her hand, and forces a few electric arcs to dance along her fingers. "I do possess shifting, although some of us possess other powers too." She drops her arm, and exits the cart, stepping down carefully. When she does, she looks up at the shrine, admiring the beauty of it. "You Tanuki have wonderful architecture skills." Morten blinks and nods "I suppose, forgive me, Im not quite up to date on your lands customs--- wait what? but... I dont wanna go home, bah... I was having fun here" she sighs, climbing out of the cart "I guess our world wouldnt be the same without me though" she snickers, a glint in her eyes as she looks around. Fenris hops from the carriage and walks as confidently as he can toward the shrine, feeling much more comfortable back in his normal form. And pants. His nanite guided clothing having reformed when he ditched the extra legs. The tiger always felt better fully dressed. Grace hops down after Fenris, somewhat excited that there's now another tiger. She smirks over at Morton, still deciding whether her attitude is endearing or off-putting. The shrine is well groomed and pristine. A small shinto edifice with a little mallet beside a bell and no tanuki in immediate sight. Peeking back reveals the carriage has removed itself rather quietly at some point. Fenris looks around the shrine and some niggling memory inspires him to bow politely before ringing the bell gently with the mallet and bowing again after replacing the little hammer. He couldn't remember his own name from before P-Day, but weird, esoteric knowledge he seemed to have in spades. Morten blinks and looks at the shrine, moving to ring the bell though Fenris does it before she can.. she ponders and steps back, looking around still with a mumble "They ran off pretty quick... " she says aloud to the group. Technetium nods, and looks around, noting the sheer sterility of the shrine. An entire half of her labcoat is now filled with notes, making for an interesting sight. "You also know how to keep your structures clean." Grace looks around, wondering who exactly the fennec is talking to now that their guide has left. She hangs back a bit, waiting for whatever Fenris just did to take effect. "Oh ho!" speaks a voice. Glancing up reveals the very archetype of tanuki. A broad happy grin on a devilish face, tail curled as he lands lightly on the ground. Perched over his head an enormous green leaf that vanishes once he lands. "It normally takes newcomers longer than that to figure that out. Welcome!" he says, his voice carrying none of the formality that his diplomat employed. His eyes sweep over the group, "I see at least one of you has manners. Ah, yes, I almost forgot." He reaches between his legs and pulls out his balls from beneath his own kimono. Disgorging from the fur is a bedraggled kitsune, "Hope you don't mind my personal transportation." Ah, kitsune-tanuki relations are as good as ever. Morten blinks, ears lowering as the Talakai looks up at the large Tanuki "Holy mother of queen lizzy-..." she mumbles, shaking her head before she quickly bows and blushes "Forgive me-- us, your grace..." she responds before stepping back a little. Fenris remains bowed low, until given permission to rise. He has no idea where this knowledge comes from, but it is about all the connection he has to whoever he had been before. "It is an honor to meet you, Lord Tanuki," he says honestly. "Forgive my presumption," he says, glancing up just a little bit, "But I am told that you enjoy belly rubs, and I did not wish to keep you waiting." Technetium bows graciously in front of the Tanuki, then looks up at the Tanuki lord. "Hello. I represent the RSX corporation in this venture. It is a pleasure to meet your acquantance." She pulls a small piece of candy out of her pocket, and offers it to the Tanuki. "This is a common delicacy in our world. I hope you enjoy it." Grace looks at the others, and assumes that bowing must be the way to go. She bows down, and stays there until she notices the others rising. She can't particularly think of anything to say, though. Personal transportation aside, the kitsune is sat down upon her feet gently. "It is quite an honor to travel by Lord Tanuki." she stretches lightly, brushing her kimono down some as she moves a bit to the side. "A pleasure, Lord Tanuki. I do trust your day is well?" she smiled, her tails moving to swish right behind her again. "What, belly rubs? How indignified!" he proclaims, though he makes no move to avoid such things. "What manner of lord would deign to have their handsome belly caressed by a guest?" Oh ho, candy? "You've all been trained in my weaknesses," he says in an almost pouty way as he accepts the candy and promptly pops it into his chubby snout, mmmm. "But you didn't come here simply to faun over me, or did you? I would not object to new personal servants, but I would guess you've come with heavier topics on mind than the abject worship of me." Fenris takes this as an invitation to rise and approach. "I confess, Lord Tanuki, that we are not here only to bask in your magnificent presence," he says, almost wishing that it WAS the only reason they were here, the big fellow seemed pleasant enough. "We also come as residents of the city of Fairhaven, where Zephyr resides," he says, "hoping to learn of your intentins for our poor city." The tiger thinks a moment, "Although, meeting you is certainly a prize in itself," he says with a smile, honestly tempted to rub that big belly, but afraid to do so without invitation. Technetium nods respectfully. "I am a agent of RSX, of Woodfield City. We are here to discuss the future of the relations between our two companies and the Tanuki, or, specifically, you." Her dual tails move slowly, and her eyes focus intently. "You have a facinating civilization." She gestures out to the rest of the city. "But, for us, all civilization is facinating these days." she says sadly. "I don't blame you for oggling my wonderful city," Or his wonderful self, as he soaks up the attention gleefully. "My people know their places. The rulers rule justly. The serfs work diligently. The warriors fight fiercely and the merchants make sure everything is where it needs to be. Our priests are pious and humble, and even the destitute, few they are, are properly demure. It is a model society." Maybe not THE model society, but certainly a model of one. "Now then, to business. Have you told the leaders of your Zephyr tower of their new lord and master? I'm eager to tour the facility and meet their talented artisans. The city it dwells in is also in dire need of my attention. Every day we wait is suffering, for the people there." "Not quite, your grace," Grace says. "Things are a bit more... complicated than simply laying claim to the land. In particular, Zephyr isn't the governing body of the city so much as it is the employer of many citizens." Fenris nods at Technetium's comment. "I would love to learn more about the tanuki," he says, "Your city and your people are remarkable!" The tiger swallows when asked about the state of negotiations. "The leaders of Zephyr have not yet been informed, Lord Tanuki," he says, "W have begged the indulgence of three days to reach those responsible for the company and for them to make decisions of their own." He waves a hand to Grace. "And my companion is right, Zephyr does not govern Fairhaven," he says, "Fairhaven currently has no direct government." The tiger hopes that was not the wrong thing to say. Technetium points to the RSX badges on her shoulders. "I have no influence with Zephyr, and I am from a different city from them. However, I would still like to persist in trying to create good relations from RSX Solutions with Woodfield City and the Tanuki people." "It's unclaimed?" he asks in a surprised, yet delighted, tone, "No ruler? This is wonderful! If there is no claim to the land, than no one can hold it in ill grace to do so now. We will bring civility to your ravaged world. No more raping and violence in the streets, or forcing even your youth to be trained for battle instead of learning proper social graces, or even learning the simple joys of proper levity. Your world has become such a downer." He sets his hands on his round hips, belly jiggling in the motion, "It's terrible, and long past time we fixed it. The ruler of your tower will come around when they see what we've done with the city around them." Oh he seems distracted now, barely paying attention to the words being spoken in his direction now that a new avenue of action has been found. Fenris seems to have said exactly the wrong thing."But, Lord Tanuki!" he cries, "It is not the land that is the issue here!" The tiger scrambles for words that might help. "The people of Fairhaven are not ready for a ruler!" he says, "Many are still lost to their feral madness! They are not such a quiet, civilized folk as your people. Perhaps it would be better to wait until they are better prepared to recieve your benevolent rule?" Yeah, that didn't sound contrived at all. Technetium coughs, and prepares to point out how hard that'll be. "As you know, our world is infected with tons of small machines call nanites. The problem is, is if your soldiers are unprepared, they will quickly mutate and transform, then soon will lose their minds. Furthermore, our world contains advanced technology that is seemingly millenia beyond your own. Any resistant agents have this technology, and you will only be able to collect the Tanuki dedicants to your cause. Although this land is unclaimed, its a dangerous wasteland." Grace makes a face for a moment. "While I don't doubt that your rule could be beneficial, I suspect that a large amount of Fairhaven's citizens would object. Many of them actually enjoy anarchy, and as my companion said, a very large number of them are completely mindless. And incredibly difficult to kill." "The magic of your nanites is not entirely new to me," says the Tanuki lord as he strikes his belly like a drum, with a sound that also reminds of it. "It is a wonderful thing that I will master in time. Oh, dear, kill? Do I look like a killer?" he asks, leaning towards Grace with his big happy expression, "I would never dream of it. Maybe rough them a little, but I want to make people happier, not dead. You can't be happy while you're dead. I've tried it, it doesn't work. No no. Your world needs policing, urgently, and if your tower refuses to do it, then it is my DUTY to step in, for their sake." Morten blinks, ears lowered before they perk up at the Tanuki's words "Huh.. so, less chaos more order, i'll believe it when I see it but... go team tanuki!" she nods, shifting to her Tanuki form "If his grace thinks he can change the world for the better, then those who stand in the way of peace need be removed! clearly" she grins, nodding happily and clapping her paws together... Fenris has done it now. An invasion of smiling, chubby raccoon dogs using testicle magic. That should only make things better. "Please reconsider, Lord Tanuki," he says, "Give us time and we can learn to govern ourselves again! So many have raised themselves up from madness, why not give them more time?" He looks worried, "What would you do that we have not tried already?" Actually, he would love to hear the Tanuki lord's plan. Technetium holds out her arm and hand to the side, away from people, and makes small arcs of electricity dance along it, releasing a smell of Ozone. "This is an example of some of the powers we possess. I can channel this to any object [ooc: Proving the Nanomagician perk in a sec] wihin a twenty foot radius, effectivly frying it. To master morphing powers and this power, we required mechanical implants all throughout our body. That can get incredibly expensive. And although your rule may be beneficial to our land, you will have to inocculate your soldiers to the nanite infection. You will have to arm your soldiers with weapons and armor that will not crumble upon exposure to the nanites. You /will/ have to negotiate with the local corporations and agents, or they will put up an incredible and immeasureable resistance." She lets her arm fall back to her side. The Tanuki lord reacts swiftly to the presence of a new female tanuki. He reaches for a hand and kisses the back, "I was told of your arrival, and could feel the seed within you. My lady dear, I can see that you are a loyal one." If she does not prevent him or show displeasure, he leans in to kiss each of her chubby cheeks, "You're all the more ravishing in person, far better than that faint little voice I heard calling to me from your world." One his ears flicks irritably before his attention is pulled away from the fem-tanuki towards Fenris, "I will not live in your realm. You will have your own governing, have no fear. I will select lords from your land, and they will rule it as is proper. I cannot be expected to be everywhere at once." He tilts his head at Tech then, "A lightning sorcerer, are you? Very fascinating. But we are a race of shapeshifters. No idle threat of change can dissuade us for long, so long as we retain our ties to the leaves." Fenris is getting a little exhasperated now and a little worried that someone is apparently threatening the King of the Tanuki. "What I am trying to say, Lord Tanuki," he tries once more, "Is that the people of our world are likely to be unwilling to be ruled! Many are not lovers of peace and order like the good Tanuki of your lands!" Morten blushes, happily flicking her ears as the Tanuki lord kisses the back of her hand and then kisses her on the cheeks, she giggles and smiles "Thank you your grace, your words are far too kind, truthfully, if you are capable of bringing peace, while some will resist they will learn it is for their own good...in time." she nods, eager to work with the Tanuki god, more so than the others of the party. Grace really doesn't think threatening or begging is the way to go here. She steps forward, next to Fenris. "My lord, may I ask, what do you know of the culture, customs, and laws of Fairhaven? It was not always so anarchic, and there are many who still remember how it used to be. I would suggest learning all you can about how Fairhaven once was, so that it can be better restored." "See, she understands!" he exclaims joyfully before he lifts her up and spins her about before setting her down carefully. He strokes over her whiskered cheeks as he replies to Grace, "Precisely why I will send no bureaucrats or nobles at first. Soldiers and big tough tanuki that will knock some sense into the people. Then we select someone from your side who already has respect of the people. They will become my servant, and through them, happiness will flow. I do not know your people, and how can I? I don't expect any of you..." He glances towards Morten, "To just abandon your old ways." His fingers dance under her chin, tickling a little. Clearly he wouldn't mind if one of the party did abandon their old ways. Fenris hesitates for a moment. "What if," he pauses, "What if I wished to learn more about the ways of the Tanuki?" The tiger swallows hard. "Maybe if I understood you better, I could find ways to help us all understand one another," he offers, his resolve strengthening. It really might help, right? To see the tanuki perspective? Morten grins happily, ears flicking as the Tanuki lord spins her around and strokes her, her eyelids flutter closed as she lets out a rumbling murr of pleasure~ "Some will be eager to serve under you, once they see your incredible power my lord, some of us will happily see to aiding in the persuit of peace" she smiles, playing up to the Tanuki's desired answers it seems. Technetium adds onto Grace's statement, trying to bring back the point of the technology of the world. "It doesn't matter how big your Tanuki are if there are gunmen on the rooftops putting metal bits through their skulls. You /need/ to have the backing of every single faction or the attempt will miserably fail. This is not a threat. This is a reality. There are similar people to me who wield the different powers, they can control nature itself in their immediate area due to our nanites. Understand me, this will not be a simple task. You cannot do this bluntly." Her patience is wearing thin, anger and frustration starting to poke through. Her tails are agressively moving. "Even more, you will have to contsruct facilitys to house the captured ferals, get psychologists, and reprogram them to act like a normal person again." Grace really wishes the Kitsune wasn't standing silent. Nobody's making any headway anymore, and the lack of a cohesive argument definitely isn't helping matters. One looks to delay, one to discourage, and the other has simply thrown herself in with the Tanuki. She sighs. She could question what gives him claim to the land. She could question what right he has to rule in another dimension entirely. But at this point, it is obvious that nothing is about to dissuade him. "If we cannot persuade you to reconsider, then we shall inform the leaders of Zephyr as soon as we return to our city." And prepare for war, she thinks. The coondog god lifts his ears, "Do you mean that? I would welcome you, of course. My arms are made for embracing, but know that this is no idle promise. It is called Dedication for a reason. Even if some of my dedicants allow their eyes to wonder." He pokes Morten in the belly at that, then begins to rub there, slow circular motions, "Naughty girl, your field is overgrown with weeds. You should let me prune them out, one...." His claws prick her gently, "By one." Another prick, each sending little tremors of delight through the femme-tanuki as he promises spiritual cleansing.

"How tiring," he says in response to Tech's concerns. "Boring. You are not the only world with magic. You are not even the world with the strongest magic. It's just very... predictable, and orderly. Very useful." he says, greed building in his tone. "We will have it, and you will stop murdering and violating each other as a daily pass time. Everyone stands to benefit. I cannot even fathom how you don't see that. Yes, you should do that, tell the rulers of the tower of me. I will make no move on them directly until the city is tamed, then they will see how utterly silly they're all being." Fenris takes a deep breath. "I will try," he says resolutely, "I will dedicate myself to your way of life to achieve greater understanding." It was worth a shot, right? And the tanuki all seemed so at peace with themselves. Peace would be nice. He looks to the Tanuki Lord expectantly. The city would have to take care of itself for a while. Morten smiles and grins as the Tanuki talks, though she shivers softly as he makes clains that she needs cleansing, though a shiver of pleasure runs through her spine as his claws softly prick at her, "Ohh--wow-" she mumbles, not trying to make an outburst however... she does smile softly as the feelings wash over her, making her feel quite warm and sweet. Reluctantly, the Tanuki lord steps away from Morten with a final brush across her nose, drawing out an immense leaf and draping it over Fenris' head, "Close your eyes and think on me, and what I am, and what it is you wish to be. The more intent your thought, the deeper and faster the seed will grow inside of you, and with it, we will be bound together." Technetium throws her hands into the air and starts pacing in circles, her tails waving agressively behind her. "You don't understand! This isn't /magic/ it's technology! I have a device stuck into me that allows me to shift and use powers! That isn't magic! It's precision control of a previously uncontrollable disease." The air around her smells like Ozone, another sign of agression : loss of focus nesscessary to be able to control the powers. "Our world contains many wonders. We have machines that go in the air and can go faster than the speed of sound. We have devices that can get us to other planets. But for every positive, there is a negative." Morten shivers and looks a little upset...and dizzy as Tanuki steps away from her, she mumbles and sits down, looking a tad like shes just come down from a sugar rush, her ears lower against her head as she sighs "T-that...was mff...fun" she mumbles aloud. Fenris closes his eyes and feels the cool leaf sitting on his head. What did he want? "Peace," he murmurs to himself, then thinks on the peace and order in the lives of the tanuki he had seen on the way here. He thought on the warmth and comfort of family, of the father with his child. He imagined the considerate civility of their guide and the gentle curiosity of those who watched them travel. He ponders on the warmth and generosity and eagerness of the Tanuki Lord and lets himself be carried away by it. The Leaf suddenly vanishes, its green vitality seemingly absorbed into Fenris as their body suddenly grows plump and round, as all the other Tanuki as they become a proper coondog. "Ah, I was worried you were not sincere, but I was mistaken. Welcome, my son." He leans forward to nuzzle nose against nose with the newest Tanuki. The Tanuki lord puts his eyes on the one non-coondog in attendance, "A demonstration is in order! I do not fear your magic, or anyone else's, especially not here in my demense. Go on, do what you will, show me its power. Your magic may be potent, but it is limited by its wielder, and you are not my equal." Grace places a paw on Technetium's shoulder. "Now is not the time," she says. "We'll be better off if we don't antagonize him furher." Technetium glares angrily at the Tanuki lord, then pulls a small pistol from her internal coat pocket. She flicks the power switch on it, then it is alight with power. She looks at him for a second, then powers it down. "My thoughts are too blinded with rage to control my magic effectivly. You will need to wait and let me meditate, else this dual is not at it's peak." She sits on the floor, crosslegged, and exhales slowly, relaxing. An aura of serenity seems to eminate from her. The Tanuki flashes a broad grin, "Anger is a terrific tool," he says in an agreeable tone. "You'll see what I mean, soon, I imagine. It is time to start sending you home." He looks to Grace first, "Have you spoken your peace?" Grace nods. "I have," she says. "I do not believe anything I could say would change your mind, or even cause you to reconsider." Fenris feels good! He feels warm and comfortable and. . . fat? The new tanuki opens his eyes and examines his new form in wonder. While his coat has remained with him, his nanite formed pants have vanished again revealing the calling card of male tanuki's everywhere. "Oh my!" he says, and is then overwhelmed with feelings of calm satisfaction as his new Lord nuzzles him affectionately. "Wha-what do I do nkw, my lord?" he asks. Poof! With a whirling of the green leaves, Grace is sent on their way. He looks towards Tech next, "And you? I trust you have enjoyed your stay and have said your part?" Technetium stands up and nods slowly. "Yes. But don't let my warning go unheeded." She says coldly, then turns her back to the Tanuki. Poof~ Leaves send the next visitor on their way. And, left with the other two, Tanuki grins, "Well, now that the unpleasant people have left, that leaves us to discuss much more interesting things." Morten shivers and climbs back up onto her paws "Woah, that was....interesting, mfff... that was an odd sensation, kinda like a steam bath" she shrugs, shaking her head and looking around "-...Where did everyone go?" she asks with a blink. Fenris looks expectantly at his new master. If he had known that being a tanuki would feel like this, he would have asked to join up from the beginning! And to have such a kind Lord like this one. Fenris knows that some of these feelings were just the rush of transformation and the effects of his dedication, but still! He could see why the Tanuki Lord would want to share his blessing with those who sought it. Tanuki moves to wrap an arm around Fenris, drawing him along towards Morten to nuzzle the both of them, his large belly rubbing along with his snout, "I am delighted to have my otherworldly kin here. I sent the others on their way, as they were becoming rude, and grumpy. No fun to be had with them, and they didn't even rub my belly, even after they were told to, the nerve." Morten blinks and snaps back to reality as she realises what happened during her little moment of pleasure "W-well, quite my lord.. they should have shown proper manners when dealing with such a kind host such as yourself" she nods, nuzzling the Tanuki back happily as her tail swishes behind her and ears flick happily "So, what would my-... our lord, like to discuss with his humble servants?" she asks, glancing at Fenris before back to the Tanuki lord. Fenris smiles. "You mean you really DO like to have your belly rubbed, my lord?" he asks, "I sort of thought that it was a joke from our guide." Now that he thinks about it, the new tanuki feels like it WOULD be rather nice to have someone rub his own new, round belly. "Well... there are tactics to be thought out, but that's boring. What I see are two young Tanuki that haven't yet learned to kow tow before me or run away when they hear I'm coming out of fear of me." He tail wags eagerly behind, "And I plan to take advantage of that..."[[Category:RPLogs]] [[Category:Nuku_Events]]

<div></div> Stepping into the testicle-hut is like stepping into a hole. Fur rushes past and heat builds before the agents are dropped onto their feet gracelessly at the sandal clad feet of the female tanuki. Her two guards are behind her as if nothing had happened. The place is different, however. Dense forest presses from all around, and the calls of birds and other small animals call out in symphony. The air is fresh, the sun, bright, where it peeks through the canopy. "Welcome," she says, "To his realm." Morten blinks, dusting herself off and looking around "Woah-... I love it here already!" she smiles, taking a deep inhale of the fresh air "Oh yes~ I like it here alot" she smiles, bowing to the Tanuki woman "Thank you and thank you to his grace that allows us to be in this most prestigious of places" she nods. Fenris staggers back to his hooves and stares around him in wonder. He had seen many strange things since P-Day, but testicle travel really took the cake! "That was. . . stunning," he says, then does his best to compose himself, straightening his long, dark coat over his hindquarters. Technetium emerges from the portal, stepping out calmly, looking around at the scene. She is quickly writing notes in page after page of the clipboard, each one filled with text. She looks at the Tanuki that had led the party there. "Thank you for bringing us to this place. I look foward towards meeting your leader." She says formally, finishing with a quick, polite smile. "You," she says, looking to Morten, "Have only brushed against the side of his power. His entry to your realm was restricted, like a pin prick in silk. Here is where his power truly resides," she explains, "Though that is, like many things, only a half truth." She steps past the agents, moving along a trail she seems to know well, "Mind your manners, for he is lord of this realm. He is kind and jolly, but his patience has limits. If you wish his good favor, bow before him, then rub his belly." She glances over her shoulder, "He loves that." Fenris follows after the tanuki woman, doing his best not to look like a dumbstruck tourist while still trying to take in the remarkable surroundings. Morten smiles and nods before blinking "Huh... interesting, guess it makes sence most beings cant just wander into other realms with ease" she shrugs, moving along to follow the trail and the Tanuki "Anything we should -not- do in his presence then? " she asks as she idly looks around at the vast surroundings. Technetium walks at a tightly controlled pace behind the Tanuki woman. Her clipboard is now out of paper and she is filling in the margins with as much information as possible. When glinted at, there is also nonsensical mathematics seemingly trying to figure out interdimensional travel. She remains silent, still listening to the Tanuki Grace falls out of the portal a bit behind the others, and lands on her feet. She is a cat, after all. She looks around, stunned by the beauty of the place. Then she notices how far ahead of her the res are, and rushes to catch up. "Hey, what did I miss?" "You missed nothing," speaks the female, "For we are just arriving." At this, the forest parts, revealing a sprawling city. Tanuki, everywhere. Some are working in the fields, others are driving carts. Tanuki guards flank the gate into the city proper. She guides the group towards the main road leading into the place, dirt packed as it is. The architecture is very asian, with heavy hints of romance period Japan. Morten blinks and widens her eyes, smiling brightly as her fangs twinkle in the light "Ok, I adore it here... " she states gleefully, resisting the urge to run down and explore, she sighs and keeps following the Tanuki woman but keeps turning and spinning on the spot, in utter awe as she looks everywere she can, taking in every detail. Fenris feels rather out of place amongst all these tanuki in his big, stagtaur body, but does not wish to shift to another form, fearing that it might be an offense to his host. He clops along placidly behind the guide, looking at the archetecture with interest. "Where exactly are we?" he asks, not necessarily expecting an answer. Technetium observes the multitude of Tanuki, politely smiling at any that come close to her. She is now writing on the clipboard itself, and she is considering writing on the her labcoat. She continues following the woman, asking her. "How long has your civilization been? Not to be rude, but I am simply admiring your massive city." She flashes a quick polite smile. Grace finds all this formal talk a little excessive, but she figures failing to be at least a little polite would be a very bad idea. She falls into step with the rest of the group, ending up between Techie and Morten. "It's really pretty here," she purrs softly, unsure of what to say. "Lord Tanuki's realm," she replies as if it were obvious, "But if you refer to the city, it is Tai-wei, where he resides at current." Approaching the gate, they are swung open without word. The guards kneel down as the group approaches with an air of formality. It seems the entourage is known. Those not of the guard peer more curiously. A little chubby tanuki child points openly at the non-tanuki.

"Look dad, look! They're funny!" The child's presumed father claps a hand over his chubby little snout and hauls him away, berating his lack of manners.

"Long?" asks she, "That is difficult to say. I am an envoy, not a historian, and his realm has existed long before I, or any other I know save he." Morten smiles, still just enjoying looking at the city and landscape, she giggles and waves at the child before he is pulled away, making her ears lower before she quickly gets back on track with the Tanuki "This place is great, though I feel a little light-headed.. probably all the excitement" she smiles. Fenris's freckled face flushes at the Tanuki child's comment, but he supposes he must look very strange to someone who has only seen tanuki. "Is it far to the palace?" he asks, a little self concious and wishing that he hadn't assumed such a large form today. Technetium moves through the crowd silently, the hem of her coat beginning to have writing on it. She looks at the child for a second, then continues following their envoy. She feels only mildly conspicuious, being shorter then many of the Tanuki. Her oversized ears move erractically, latching on to random conversations then locking onto another one. Grace giggles softly, and smiles at the chubby little raccoon. "You don't get many visitors from outside the realm, do you?" "Please excuse him," speaks the child's father, who keeps a hand firmly in place on the child's face, "He is still young, pardon us." And woosh, off they run before more opportunity for shame comes up.

The diplomat steps up into a carriage that was waiting just beyond the gate, waiting for the others to board quietly. It seems walking through the city will not be required. Her guards hop up onto either side of the cart, riding on its outside. Grace giggles softly, and smiles at the chubby little raccoon as the group moves through the crowd. She glances over at the fennec, and notices that she's started writing on her coat, of all things. "Run out of room?" she asks. Morten smiles and moves up into the carriage, sitting down with a grin "The more time I spend here, the more Im enjoying myself, how much does it cost to rent a flat in this place?" she grins, leaning back into her seat with a happy sigh. Fenris looks at the cart and sighs. There is no way he will fit in there like this. The stagtaur closes his eyes and concentrates, his entire form blurring as if he had walked behind a pane of frosted glass. After a moment, the figure returns to focus with Fenris back in his usual feline form. He looks around, hoping that his shape changing wasn't some kind of taboo, then clambers up into the carriage, sitting beside the tanuki guide. "A flat?" asks the diplomat, sounding baffled at the word, "If you wish to become a serf of this land, you will be given a place to abide by the lord of where you live, and work as well." She nods towards the new feline as they enter, "We were told that the art of shapeshifting was common in your land, but I find it curious, it's lack of leaf or testicle. It is clear why He has such interest in your realm."

Once the group has gotten into the carriage, it lurches forward and begins being pulled by horses through the city. Peeking out through the shaded windows, one can see a rather bustling city of the coondog-folk, locked in what seems to be a feudal era Japan, with all the castes expected, from serfs to merchants to samurai and nobles. Technetium steps up into the carriage, nodding silently at Grace's comment. She climbs into the cart, sitting next to Morten, with her dual tails trailing her. Yet more of her coat is filled with data and notes, and she mutters "I'm going to need to buy another labcoat when I get back." quietly to herself. She leans foward in the seat, still writing. She comments to the Tanuki woman. "You have a well-constructed city, and an organized city system. It reminds me of our own acient Japan." Fenris nods to the Tanuki. "It is common enough since the advent of the nanites," he says about shape shifting, "Though most would say that it has nothing to do with magic, I find the power quite wonderous." He gives a little lopsided smile, "Though I cannot do the, uh, remarkable things that your shape shifters can do, I am able to assume many different forms." While the view outside the window was impressive, Fenris is far more interested in their guide through this strange land. And Lord Tanuki's claim to be the new Lord and Master of Fairhaven. Or was it just Zephyr he wanted? Grace can't help but find the chubby Tanuki wearing Samurai armor adorable. She's sure they're every bit as dangerous as anyone else would be, but they're just so cute. "It's common, but not universal," Grace says. "I, for instance, can't change my shape at all, except for maybe my weight." Morten blinks and shakes her head "Sorry, uhhh.. Home, house-... place to reside while not working as a serf" she shrugs, "But i'll ask later then, when its a better time... and shaftshifting is pretty comon aye, comes more naturally to some than others" she nods. "Why would any good lord lay claim to a hill, no matter how majestic, and not claim the land surrounding it? This would be poor in tactics as well as in grace." explains the diplomat as the carriage draws close to not a palace, but a shrine, much like the one back home. The cart stops just before it, and the door is pulled open. "We are here. Remember what I have told you, for I will not be guiding you any further. He will send you home when your audience is complete." Technetium nods at the shapeshifting comment, and prepares to demonstrate herself. She hesitates for a second, and prepares to demonstrate something else. Holding out her hand, and forces a few electric arcs to dance along her fingers. "I do possess shifting, although some of us possess other powers too." She drops her arm, and exits the cart, stepping down carefully. When she does, she looks up at the shrine, admiring the beauty of it. "You Tanuki have wonderful architecture skills." Morten blinks and nods "I suppose, forgive me, Im not quite up to date on your lands customs--- wait what? but... I dont wanna go home, bah... I was having fun here" she sighs, climbing out of the cart "I guess our world wouldnt be the same without me though" she snickers, a glint in her eyes as she looks around. Fenris hops from the carriage and walks as confidently as he can toward the shrine, feeling much more comfortable back in his normal form. And pants. His nanite guided clothing having reformed when he ditched the extra legs. The tiger always felt better fully dressed. Grace hops down after Fenris, somewhat excited that there's now another tiger. She smirks over at Morton, still deciding whether her attitude is endearing or off-putting. The shrine is well groomed and pristine. A small shinto edifice with a little mallet beside a bell and no tanuki in immediate sight. Peeking back reveals the carriage has removed itself rather quietly at some point. Fenris looks around the shrine and some niggling memory inspires him to bow politely before ringing the bell gently with the mallet and bowing again after replacing the little hammer. He couldn't remember his own name from before P-Day, but weird, esoteric knowledge he seemed to have in spades. Morten blinks and looks at the shrine, moving to ring the bell though Fenris does it before she can.. she ponders and steps back, looking around still with a mumble "They ran off pretty quick... " she says aloud to the group. Technetium nods, and looks around, noting the sheer sterility of the shrine. An entire half of her labcoat is now filled with notes, making for an interesting sight. "You also know how to keep your structures clean." Grace looks around, wondering who exactly the fennec is talking to now that their guide has left. She hangs back a bit, waiting for whatever Fenris just did to take effect. "Oh ho!" speaks a voice. Glancing up reveals the very archetype of tanuki. A broad happy grin on a devilish face, tail curled as he lands lightly on the ground. Perched over his head an enormous green leaf that vanishes once he lands. "It normally takes newcomers longer than that to figure that out. Welcome!" he says, his voice carrying none of the formality that his diplomat employed. His eyes sweep over the group, "I see at least one of you has manners. Ah, yes, I almost forgot." He reaches between his legs and pulls out his balls from beneath his own kimono. Disgorging from the fur is a bedraggled kitsune, "Hope you don't mind my personal transportation." Ah, kitsune-tanuki relations are as good as ever. Morten blinks, ears lowering as the Talakai looks up at the large Tanuki "Holy mother of queen lizzy-..." she mumbles, shaking her head before she quickly bows and blushes "Forgive me-- us, your grace..." she responds before stepping back a little. Fenris remains bowed low, until given permission to rise. He has no idea where this knowledge comes from, but it is about all the connection he has to whoever he had been before. "It is an honor to meet you, Lord Tanuki," he says honestly. "Forgive my presumption," he says, glancing up just a little bit, "But I am told that you enjoy belly rubs, and I did not wish to keep you waiting." Technetium bows graciously in front of the Tanuki, then looks up at the Tanuki lord. "Hello. I represent the RSX corporation in this venture. It is a pleasure to meet your acquantance." She pulls a small piece of candy out of her pocket, and offers it to the Tanuki. "This is a common delicacy in our world. I hope you enjoy it." Grace looks at the others, and assumes that bowing must be the way to go. She bows down, and stays there until she notices the others rising. She can't particularly think of anything to say, though. Personal transportation aside, the kitsune is sat down upon her feet gently. "It is quite an honor to travel by Lord Tanuki." she stretches lightly, brushing her kimono down some as she moves a bit to the side. "A pleasure, Lord Tanuki. I do trust your day is well?" she smiled, her tails moving to swish right behind her again. "What, belly rubs? How indignified!" he proclaims, though he makes no move to avoid such things. "What manner of lord would deign to have their handsome belly caressed by a guest?" Oh ho, candy? "You've all been trained in my weaknesses," he says in an almost pouty way as he accepts the candy and promptly pops it into his chubby snout, mmmm. "But you didn't come here simply to faun over me, or did you? I would not object to new personal servants, but I would guess you've come with heavier topics on mind than the abject worship of me." Fenris takes this as an invitation to rise and approach. "I confess, Lord Tanuki, that we are not here only to bask in your magnificent presence," he says, almost wishing that it WAS the only reason they were here, the big fellow seemed pleasant enough. "We also come as residents of the city of Fairhaven, where Zephyr resides," he says, "hoping to learn of your intentins for our poor city." The tiger thinks a moment, "Although, meeting you is certainly a prize in itself," he says with a smile, honestly tempted to rub that big belly, but afraid to do so without invitation. Technetium nods respectfully. "I am a agent of RSX, of Woodfield City. We are here to discuss the future of the relations between our two companies and the Tanuki, or, specifically, you." Her dual tails move slowly, and her eyes focus intently. "You have a facinating civilization." She gestures out to the rest of the city. "But, for us, all civilization is facinating these days." she says sadly. "I don't blame you for oggling my wonderful city," Or his wonderful self, as he soaks up the attention gleefully. "My people know their places. The rulers rule justly. The serfs work diligently. The warriors fight fiercely and the merchants make sure everything is where it needs to be. Our priests are pious and humble, and even the destitute, few they are, are properly demure. It is a model society." Maybe not THE model society, but certainly a model of one. "Now then, to business. Have you told the leaders of your Zephyr tower of their new lord and master? I'm eager to tour the facility and meet their talented artisans. The city it dwells in is also in dire need of my attention. Every day we wait is suffering, for the people there." "Not quite, your grace," Grace says. "Things are a bit more... complicated than simply laying claim to the land. In particular, Zephyr isn't the governing body of the city so much as it is the employer of many citizens." Fenris nods at Technetium's comment. "I would love to learn more about the tanuki," he says, "Your city and your people are remarkable!" The tiger swallows when asked about the state of negotiations. "The leaders of Zephyr have not yet been informed, Lord Tanuki," he says, "W have begged the indulgence of three days to reach those responsible for the company and for them to make decisions of their own." He waves a hand to Grace. "And my companion is right, Zephyr does not govern Fairhaven," he says, "Fairhaven currently has no direct government." The tiger hopes that was not the wrong thing to say. Technetium points to the RSX badges on her shoulders. "I have no influence with Zephyr, and I am from a different city from them. However, I would still like to persist in trying to create good relations from RSX Solutions with Woodfield City and the Tanuki people." "It's unclaimed?" he asks in a surprised, yet delighted, tone, "No ruler? This is wonderful! If there is no claim to the land, than no one can hold it in ill grace to do so now. We will bring civility to your ravaged world. No more raping and violence in the streets, or forcing even your youth to be trained for battle instead of learning proper social graces, or even learning the simple joys of proper levity. Your world has become such a downer." He sets his hands on his round hips, belly jiggling in the motion, "It's terrible, and long past time we fixed it. The ruler of your tower will come around when they see what we've done with the city around them." Oh he seems distracted now, barely paying attention to the words being spoken in his direction now that a new avenue of action has been found. Fenris seems to have said exactly the wrong thing."But, Lord Tanuki!" he cries, "It is not the land that is the issue here!" The tiger scrambles for words that might help. "The people of Fairhaven are not ready for a ruler!" he says, "Many are still lost to their feral madness! They are not such a quiet, civilized folk as your people. Perhaps it would be better to wait until they are better prepared to recieve your benevolent rule?" Yeah, that didn't sound contrived at all. Technetium coughs, and prepares to point out how hard that'll be. "As you know, our world is infected with tons of small machines call nanites. The problem is, is if your soldiers are unprepared, they will quickly mutate and transform, then soon will lose their minds. Furthermore, our world contains advanced technology that is seemingly millenia beyond your own. Any resistant agents have this technology, and you will only be able to collect the talaki dedicants to your cause. Although this land is unclaimed, its a dangerous wasteland." Grace makes a face for a moment. "While I don't doubt that your rule could be beneficial, I suspect that a large amount of Fairhaven's citizens would object. Many of them actually enjoy anarchy, and as my companion said, a very large number of them are completely mindless. And incredibly difficult to kill." "The magic of your nanites is not entirely new to me," says the Tanuki lord as he strikes his belly like a drum, with a sound that also reminds of it. "It is a wonderful thing that I will master in time. Oh, dear, kill? Do I look like a killer?" he asks, leaning towards Grace with his big happy expression, "I would never dream of it. Maybe rough them a little, but I want to make people happier, not dead. You can't be happy while you're dead. I've tried it, it doesn't work. No no. Your world needs policing, urgently, and if your tower refuses to do it, then it is my DUTY to step in, for their sake." Morten blinks, ears lowered before they perk up at the Tanuki's words "Huh.. so, less chaos more order, i'll believe it when I see it but... go team tanuki!" she nods, shifting to her Tanuki form "If his grace thinks he can change the world for the better, then those who stand in the way of peace need be removed! clearly" she grins, nodding happily and clapping her paws together... Fenris has done it now. An invasion of smiling, chubby raccoon dogs using testicle magic. That should only make things better. "Please reconsider, Lord Tanuki," he says, "Give us time and we can learn to govern ourselves again! So many have raised themselves up from madness, why not give them more time?" He looks worried, "What would you do that we have not tried already?" Actually, he would love to hear the Tanuki lord's plan. Technetium holds out her arm and hand to the side, away from people, and makes small arcs of electricity dance along it, releasing a smell of Ozone. "This is an example of some of the powers we possess. I can channel this to any object [ooc: Proving the Nanomagician perk in a sec] wihin a twenty foot radius, effectivly frying it. To master morphing powers and this power, we required mechanical implants all throughout our body. That can get incredibly expensive. And although your rule may be beneficial to our land, you will have to inocculate your soldiers to the nanite infection. You will have to arm your soldiers with weapons and armor that will not crumble upon exposure to the nanites. You /will/ have to negotiate with the local corporations and agents, or they will put up an incredible and immeasureable resistance." She lets her arm fall back to her side. The Tanuki lord reacts swiftly to the presence of a new female tanuki. He reaches for a hand and kisses the back, "I was told of your arrival, and could feel the seed within you. My lady dear, I can see that you are a loyal one." If she does not prevent him or show displeasure, he leans in to kiss each of her chubby cheeks, "You're all the more ravishing in person, far better than that faint little voice I heard calling to me from your world." One his ears flicks irritably before his attention is pulled away from the fem-tanuki towards Fenris, "I will not live in your realm. You will have your own governing, have no fear. I will select lords from your land, and they will rule it as is proper. I cannot be expected to be everywhere at once." He tilts his head at Tech then, "A lightning sorcerer, are you? Very fascinating. But we are a race of shapeshifters. No idle threat of change can dissuade us for long, so long as we retain our ties to the leaves." Fenris is getting a little exhasperated now and a little worried that someone is apparently threatening the King of the Tanuki. "What I am trying to say, Lord Tanuki," he tries once more, "Is that the people of our world are likely to be unwilling to be ruled! Many are not lovers of peace and order like the good Tanuki of your lands!" Morten blushes, happily flicking her ears as the Tanuki lord kisses the back of her hand and then kisses her on the cheeks, she giggles and smiles "Thank you your grace, your words are far too kind, truthfully, if you are capable of bringing peace, while some will resist they will learn it is for their own good...in time." she nods, eager to work with the Tanuki god, more so than the others of the party. Grace really doesn't think threatening or begging is the way to go here. She steps forward, next to Fenris. "My lord, may I ask, what do you know of the culture, customs, and laws of Fairhaven? It was not always so anarchic, and there are many who still remember how it used to be. I would suggest learning all you can about how Fairhaven once was, so that it can be better restored." "See, she understands!" he exclaims joyfully before he lifts her up and spins her about before setting her down carefully. He strokes over her whiskered cheeks as he replies to Grace, "Precisely why I will send no bureaucrats or nobles at first. Soldiers and big tough tanuki that will knock some sense into the people. Then we select someone from your side who already has respect of the people. They will become my servant, and through them, happiness will flow. I do not know your people, and how can I? I don't expect any of you..." He glances towards Morten, "To just abandon your old ways." His fingers dance under her chin, tickling a little. Clearly he wouldn't mind if one of the party did abandon their old ways. Fenris hesitates for a moment. "What if," he pauses, "What if I wished to learn more about the ways of the Tanuki?" The tiger swallows hard. "Maybe if I understood you better, I could find ways to help us all understand one another," he offers, his resolve strengthening. It really might help, right? To see the tanuki perspective? Morten grins happily, ears flicking as the Tanuki lord spins her around and strokes her, her eyelids flutter closed as she lets out a rumbling murr of pleasure~ "Some will be eager to serve under you, once they see your incredible power my lord, some of us will happily see to aiding in the persuit of peace" she smiles, playing up to the Tanuki's desired answers it seems. Technetium adds onto Grace's statement, trying to bring back the point of the technology of the world. "It doesn't matter how big your Tanuki are if there are gunmen on the rooftops putting metal bits through their skulls. You /need/ to have the backing of every single faction or the attempt will miserably fail. This is not a threat. This is a reality. There are similar people to me who wield the different powers, they can control nature itself in their immediate area due to our nanites. Understand me, this will not be a simple task. You cannot do this bluntly." Her patience is wearing thin, anger and frustration starting to poke through. Her tails are agressively moving. "Even more, you will have to contsruct facilitys to house the captured ferals, get psychologists, and reprogram them to act like a normal person again." Grace really wishes the Kitsune wasn't standing silent. Nobody's making any headway anymore, and the lack of a cohesive argument definitely isn't helping matters. One looks to delay, one to discourage, and the other has simply thrown herself in with the Tanuki. She sighs. She could question what gives him claim to the land. She could question what right he has to rule in another dimension entirely. But at this point, it is obvious that nothing is about to dissuade him. "If we cannot persuade you to reconsider, then we shall inform the leaders of Zephyr as soon as we return to our city." And prepare for war, she thinks. The coondog god lifts his ears, "Do you mean that? I would welcome you, of course. My arms are made for embracing, but know that this is no idle promise. It is called Dedication for a reason. Even if some of my dedicants allow their eyes to wonder." He pokes Morten in the belly at that, then begins to rub there, slow circular motions, "Naughty girl, your field is overgrown with weeds. You should let me prune them out, one...." His claws prick her gently, "By one." Another prick, each sending little tremors of delight through the femme-tanuki as he promises spiritual cleansing.

"How tiring," he says in response to Tech's concerns. "Boring. You are not the only world with magic. You are not even the world with the strongest magic. It's just very... predictable, and orderly. Very useful." he says, greed building in his tone. "We will have it, and you will stop murdering and violating each other as a daily pass time. Everyone stands to benefit. I cannot even fathom how you don't see that. Yes, you should do that, tell the rulers of the tower of me. I will make no move on them directly until the city is tamed, then they will see how utterly silly they're all being." Fenris takes a deep breath. "I will try," he says resolutely, "I will dedicate myself to your way of life to achieve greater understanding." It was worth a shot, right? And the tanuki all seemed so at peace with themselves. Peace would be nice. He looks to the Tanuki Lord expectantly. The city would have to take care of itself for a while. Morten smiles and grins as the Tanuki talks, though she shivers softly as he makes clains that she needs cleansing, though a shiver of pleasure runs through her spine as his claws softly prick at her, "Ohh--wow-" she mumbles, not trying to make an outburst however... she does smile softly as the feelings wash over her, making her feel quite warm and sweet. Reluctantly, the Tanuki lord steps away from Morten with a final brush across her nose, drawing out an immense leaf and draping it over Fenris' head, "Close your eyes and think on me, and what I am, and what it is you wish to be. The more intent your thought, the deeper and faster the seed will grow inside of you, and with it, we will be bound together." Technetium throws her hands into the air and starts pacing in circles, her tails waving agressively behind her. "You don't understand! This isn't /magic/ it's technology! I have a device stuck into me that allows me to shift and use powers! That isn't magic! It's precision control of a previously uncontrollable disease." The air around her smells like Ozone, another sign of agression : loss of focus nesscessary to be able to control the powers. "Our world contains many wonders. We have machines that go in the air and can go faster than the speed of sound. We have devices that can get us to other planets. But for every positive, there is a negative." Morten shivers and looks a little upset...and dizzy as Tanuki steps away from her, she mumbles and sits down, looking a tad like shes just come down from a sugar rush, her ears lower against her head as she sighs "T-that...was mff...fun" she mumbles aloud. Fenris closes his eyes and feels the cool leaf sitting on his head. What did he want? "Peace," he murmurs to himself, then thinks on the peace and order in the lives of the tanuki he had seen on the way here. He thought on the warmth and comfort of family, of the father with his child. He imagined the considerate civility of their guide and the gentle curiosity of those who watched them travel. He ponders on the warmth and generosity and eagerness of the Tanuki Lord and lets himself be carried away by it. The Leaf suddenly vanishes, its green vitality seemingly absorbed into Fenris as their body suddenly grows plump and round, as all the other Tanuki as they become a proper coondog. "Ah, I was worried you were not sincere, but I was mistaken. Welcome, my son." He leans forward to nuzzle nose against nose with the newest Tanuki. The Tanuki lord puts his eyes on the one non-coondog in attendance, "A demonstration is in order! I do not fear your magic, or anyone else's, especially not here in my demense. Go on, do what you will, show me its power. Your magic may be potent, but it is limited by its wielder, and you are not my equal." Grace places a paw on Technetium's shoulder. "Now is not the time," she says. "We'll be better off if we don't antagonize him furher." Technetium glares angrily at the Tanuki lord, then pulls a small pistol from her internal coat pocket. She flicks the power switch on it, then it is alight with power. She looks at him for a second, then powers it down. "My thoughts are too blinded with rage to control my magic effectivly. You will need to wait and let me meditate, else this dual is not at it's peak." She sits on the floor, crosslegged, and exhales slowly, relaxing. An aura of serenity seems to eminate from her. The Tanuki flashes a broad grin, "Anger is a terrific tool," he says in an agreeable tone. "You'll see what I mean, soon, I imagine. It is time to start sending you home." He looks to Grace first, "Have you spoken your peace?" Grace nods. "I have," she says. "I do not believe anything I could say would change your mind, or even cause you to reconsider." Fenris feels good! He feels warm and comfortable and. . . fat? The new tanuki opens his eyes and examines his new form in wonder. While his coat has remained with him, his nanite formed pants have vanished again revealing the calling card of male tanuki's everywhere. "Oh my!" he says, and is then overwhelmed with feelings of calm satisfaction as his new Lord nuzzles him affectionately. "Wha-what do I do nkw, my lord?" he asks. Poof! With a whirling of the green leaves, Grace is sent on their way. He looks towards Tech next, "And you? I trust you have enjoyed your stay and have said your part?" Technetium stands up and nods slowly. "Yes. But don't let my warning go unheeded." She says coldly, then turns her back to the Tanuki. Poof~ Leaves send the next visitor on their way. And, left with the other two, Tanuki grins, "Well, now that the unpleasant people have left, that leaves us to discuss much more interesting things." Morten shivers and climbs back up onto her paws "Woah, that was....interesting, mfff... that was an odd sensation, kinda like a steam bath" she shrugs, shaking her head and looking around "-...Where did everyone go?" she asks with a blink. Fenris looks expectantly at his new master. If he had known that being a tanuki would feel like this, he would have asked to join up from the beginning! And to have such a kind Lord like this one. Fenris knows that some of these feelings were just the rush of transformation and the effects of his dedication, but still! He could see why the Tanuki Lord would want to share his blessing with those who sought it. Tanuki moves to wrap an arm around Fenris, drawing him along towards Morten to nuzzle the both of them, his large belly rubbing along with his snout, "I am delighted to have my otherworldly kin here. I sent the others on their way, as they were becoming rude, and grumpy. No fun to be had with them, and they didn't even rub my belly, even after they were told to, the nerve." Morten blinks and snaps back to reality as she realises what happened during her little moment of pleasure "W-well, quite my lord.. they should have shown proper manners when dealing with such a kind host such as yourself" she nods, nuzzling the Tanuki back happily as her tail swishes behind her and ears flick happily "So, what would my-... our lord, like to discuss with his humble servants?" she asks, glancing at Fenris before back to the Tanuki lord. Fenris smiles. "You mean you really DO like to have your belly rubbed, my lord?" he asks, "I sort of thought that it was a joke from our guide." Now that he thinks about it, the new tanuki feels like it WOULD be rather nice to have someone rub his own new, round belly. "Well... there are tactics to be thought out, but that's boring. What I see are two young Tanuki that haven't yet learned to kow tow before me or run away when they hear I'm coming out of fear of me." He tail wags eagerly behind, "And I plan to take advantage of that..."[[Category:RPLogs]] [[Category:Nuku_Events]]

<div></div> Stepping into the testicle-hut is like stepping into a hole. Fur rushes past and heat builds before the agents are dropped onto their feet gracelessly at the sandal clad feet of the female tanuki. Her two guards are behind her as if nothing had happened. The place is different, however. Dense forest presses from all around, and the calls of birds and other small animals call out in symphony. The air is fresh, the sun, bright, where it peeks through the canopy. "Welcome," she says, "To his realm." Morten blinks, dusting herself off and looking around "Woah-... I love it here already!" she smiles, taking a deep inhale of the fresh air "Oh yes~ I like it here alot" she smiles, bowing to the Tanuki woman "Thank you and thank you to his grace that allows us to be in this most prestigious of places" she nods. Fenris staggers back to his hooves and stares around him in wonder. He had seen many strange things since P-Day, but testicle travel really took the cake! "That was. . . stunning," he says, then does his best to compose himself, straightening his long, dark coat over his hindquarters. Technetium emerges from the portal, stepping out calmly, looking around at the scene. She is quickly writing notes in page after page of the clipboard, each one filled with text. She looks at the Tanuki that had led the party there. "Thank you for bringing us to this place. I look foward towards meeting your leader." She says formally, finishing with a quick, polite smile. "You," she says, looking to Morten, "Have only brushed against the side of his power. His entry to your realm was restricted, like a pin prick in silk. Here is where his power truly resides," she explains, "Though that is, like many things, only a half truth." She steps past the agents, moving along a trail she seems to know well, "Mind your manners, for he is lord of this realm. He is kind and jolly, but his patience has limits. If you wish his good favor, bow before him, then rub his belly." She glances over her shoulder, "He loves that." Fenris follows after the tanuki woman, doing his best not to look like a dumbstruck tourist while still trying to take in the remarkable surroundings. Morten smiles and nods before blinking "Huh... interesting, guess it makes sence most beings cant just wander into other realms with ease" she shrugs, moving along to follow the trail and the Tanuki "Anything we should -not- do in his presence then? " she asks as she idly looks around at the vast surroundings. Technetium walks at a tightly controlled pace behind the Tanuki woman. Her clipboard is now out of paper and she is filling in the margins with as much information as possible. When glinted at, there is also nonsensical mathematics seemingly trying to figure out interdimensional travel. She remains silent, still listening to the Tanuki Grace falls out of the portal a bit behind the others, and lands on her feet. She is a cat, after all. She looks around, stunned by the beauty of the place. Then she notices how far ahead of her the res are, and rushes to catch up. "Hey, what did I miss?" "You missed nothing," speaks the female, "For we are just arriving." At this, the forest parts, revealing a sprawling city. Tanuki, everywhere. Some are working in the fields, others are driving carts. Tanuki guards flank the gate into the city proper. She guides the group towards the main road leading into the place, dirt packed as it is. The architecture is very asian, with heavy hints of romance period Japan. Morten blinks and widens her eyes, smiling brightly as her fangs twinkle in the light "Ok, I adore it here... " she states gleefully, resisting the urge to run down and explore, she sighs and keeps following the Tanuki woman but keeps turning and spinning on the spot, in utter awe as she looks everywere she can, taking in every detail. Fenris feels rather out of place amongst all these tanuki in his big, stagtaur body, but does not wish to shift to another form, fearing that it might be an offense to his host. He clops along placidly behind the guide, looking at the archetecture with interest. "Where exactly are we?" he asks, not necessarily expecting an answer. Technetium observes the multitude of Tanuki, politely smiling at any that come close to her. She is now writing on the clipboard itself, and she is considering writing on the her labcoat. She continues following the woman, asking her. "How long has your civilization been? Not to be rude, but I am simply admiring your massive city." She flashes a quick polite smile. Grace finds all this formal talk a little excessive, but she figures failing to be at least a little polite would be a very bad idea. She falls into step with the rest of the group, ending up between Techie and Morten. "It's really pretty here," she purrs softly, unsure of what to say. "Lord Tanuki's realm," she replies as if it were obvious, "But if you refer to the city, it is Tai-wei, where he resides at current." Approaching the gate, they are swung open without word. The guards kneel down as the group approaches with an air of formality. It seems the entourage is known. Those not of the guard peer more curiously. A little chubby tanuki child points openly at the non-tanuki.

"Look dad, look! They're funny!" The child's presumed father claps a hand over his chubby little snout and hauls him away, berating his lack of manners.

"Long?" asks she, "That is difficult to say. I am an envoy, not a historian, and his realm has existed long before I, or any other I know save he." Morten smiles, still just enjoying looking at the city and landscape, she giggles and waves at the child before he is pulled away, making her ears lower before she quickly gets back on track with the Tanuki "This place is great, though I feel a little light-headed.. probably all the excitement" she smiles. Fenris's freckled face flushes at the Tanuki child's comment, but he supposes he must look very strange to someone who has only seen tanuki. "Is it far to the palace?" he asks, a little self concious and wishing that he hadn't assumed such a large form today. Technetium moves through the crowd silently, the hem of her coat beginning to have writing on it. She looks at the child for a second, then continues following their envoy. She feels only mildly conspicuious, being shorter then many of the Tanuki. Her oversized ears move erractically, latching on to random conversations then locking onto another one. Grace giggles softly, and smiles at the chubby little raccoon. "You don't get many visitors from outside the realm, do you?" "Please excuse him," speaks the child's father, who keeps a hand firmly in place on the child's face, "He is still young, pardon us." And woosh, off they run before more opportunity for shame comes up.

The diplomat steps up into a carriage that was waiting just beyond the gate, waiting for the others to board quietly. It seems walking through the city will not be required. Her guards hop up onto either side of the cart, riding on its outside. Grace giggles softly, and smiles at the chubby little raccoon as the group moves through the crowd. She glances over at the fennec, and notices that she's started writing on her coat, of all things. "Run out of room?" she asks. Morten smiles and moves up into the carriage, sitting down with a grin "The more time I spend here, the more Im enjoying myself, how much does it cost to rent a flat in this place?" she grins, leaning back into her seat with a happy sigh. Fenris looks at the cart and sighs. There is no way he will fit in there like this. The stagtaur closes his eyes and concentrates, his entire form blurring as if he had walked behind a pane of frosted glass. After a moment, the figure returns to focus with Fenris back in his usual feline form. He looks around, hoping that his shape changing wasn't some kind of taboo, then clambers up into the carriage, sitting beside the tanuki guide. "A flat?" asks the diplomat, sounding baffled at the word, "If you wish to become a serf of this land, you will be given a place to abide by the lord of where you live, and work as well." She nods towards the new feline as they enter, "We were told that the art of shapeshifting was common in your land, but I find it curious, it's lack of leaf or testicle. It is clear why He has such interest in your realm."

Once the group has gotten into the carriage, it lurches forward and begins being pulled by horses through the city. Peeking out through the shaded windows, one can see a rather bustling city of the coondog-folk, locked in what seems to be a feudal era Japan, with all the castes expected, from serfs to merchants to samurai and nobles. Technetium steps up into the carriage, nodding silently at Grace's comment. She climbs into the cart, sitting next to Morten, with her dual tails trailing her. Yet more of her coat is filled with data and notes, and she mutters "I'm going to need to buy another labcoat when I get back." quietly to herself. She leans foward in the seat, still writing. She comments to the Tanuki woman. "You have a well-constructed city, and an organized city system. It reminds me of our own acient Japan." Fenris nods to the Tanuki. "It is common enough since the advent of the nanites," he says about shape shifting, "Though most would say that it has nothing to do with magic, I find the power quite wonderous." He gives a little lopsided smile, "Though I cannot do the, uh, remarkable things that your shape shifters can do, I am able to assume many different forms." While the view outside the window was impressive, Fenris is far more interested in their guide through this strange land. And Lord Tanuki's claim to be the new Lord and Master of Fairhaven. Or was it just Zephyr he wanted? Grace can't help but find the chubby Tanuki wearing Samurai armor adorable. She's sure they're every bit as dangerous as anyone else would be, but they're just so cute. "It's common, but not universal," Grace says. "I, for instance, can't change my shape at all, except for maybe my weight." Morten blinks and shakes her head "Sorry, uhhh.. Home, house-... place to reside while not working as a serf" she shrugs, "But i'll ask later then, when its a better time... and shaftshifting is pretty comon aye, comes more naturally to some than others" she nods. "Why would any good lord lay claim to a hill, no matter how majestic, and not claim the land surrounding it? This would be poor in tactics as well as in grace." explains the diplomat as the carriage draws close to not a palace, but a shrine, much like the one back home. The cart stops just before it, and the door is pulled open. "We are here. Remember what I have told you, for I will not be guiding you any further. He will send you home when your audience is complete." Technetium nods at the shapeshifting comment, and prepares to demonstrate herself. She hesitates for a second, and prepares to demonstrate something else. Holding out her hand, and forces a few electric arcs to dance along her fingers. "I do possess shifting, although some of us possess other powers too." She drops her arm, and exits the cart, stepping down carefully. When she does, she looks up at the shrine, admiring the beauty of it. "You Tanuki have wonderful architecture skills." Morten blinks and nods "I suppose, forgive me, Im not quite up to date on your lands customs--- wait what? but... I dont wanna go home, bah... I was having fun here" she sighs, climbing out of the cart "I guess our world wouldnt be the same without me though" she snickers, a glint in her eyes as she looks around. Fenris hops from the carriage and walks as confidently as he can toward the shrine, feeling much more comfortable back in his normal form. And pants. His nanite guided clothing having reformed when he ditched the extra legs. The tiger always felt better fully dressed. Grace hops down after Fenris, somewhat excited that there's now another tiger. She smirks over at Morton, still deciding whether her attitude is endearing or off-putting. The shrine is well groomed and pristine. A small shinto edifice with a little mallet beside a bell and no tanuki in immediate sight. Peeking back reveals the carriage has removed itself rather quietly at some point. Fenris looks around the shrine and some niggling memory inspires him to bow politely before ringing the bell gently with the mallet and bowing again after replacing the little hammer. He couldn't remember his own name from before P-Day, but weird, esoteric knowledge he seemed to have in spades. Morten blinks and looks at the shrine, moving to ring the bell though Fenris does it before she can.. she ponders and steps back, looking around still with a mumble "They ran off pretty quick... " she says aloud to the group. Technetium nods, and looks around, noting the sheer sterility of the shrine. An entire half of her labcoat is now filled with notes, making for an interesting sight. "You also know how to keep your structures clean." Grace looks around, wondering who exactly the fennec is talking to now that their guide has left. She hangs back a bit, waiting for whatever Fenris just did to take effect. "Oh ho!" speaks a voice. Glancing up reveals the very archetype of tanuki. A broad happy grin on a devilish face, tail curled as he lands lightly on the ground. Perched over his head an enormous green leaf that vanishes once he lands. "It normally takes newcomers longer than that to figure that out. Welcome!" he says, his voice carrying none of the formality that his diplomat employed. His eyes sweep over the group, "I see at least one of you has manners. Ah, yes, I almost forgot." He reaches between his legs and pulls out his balls from beneath his own kimono. Disgorging from the fur is a bedraggled kitsune, "Hope you don't mind my personal transportation." Ah, kitsune-tanuki relations are as good as ever. Morten blinks, ears lowering as the Talakai looks up at the large Tanuki "Holy mother of queen lizzy-..." she mumbles, shaking her head before she quickly bows and blushes "Forgive me-- us, your grace..." she responds before stepping back a little. Fenris remains bowed low, until given permission to rise. He has no idea where this knowledge comes from, but it is about all the connection he has to whoever he had been before. "It is an honor to meet you, Lord Tanuki," he says honestly. "Forgive my presumption," he says, glancing up just a little bit, "But I am told that you enjoy belly rubs, and I did not wish to keep you waiting." Technetium bows graciously in front of the Tanuki, then looks up at the Tanuki lord. "Hello. I represent the RSX corporation in this venture. It is a pleasure to meet your acquantance." She pulls a small piece of candy out of her pocket, and offers it to the Tanuki. "This is a common delicacy in our world. I hope you enjoy it." Grace looks at the others, and assumes that bowing must be the way to go. She bows down, and stays there until she notices the others rising. She can't particularly think of anything to say, though. Personal transportation aside, the kitsune is sat down upon her feet gently. "It is quite an honor to travel by Lord Tanuki." she stretches lightly, brushing her kimono down some as she moves a bit to the side. "A pleasure, Lord Tanuki. I do trust your day is well?" she smiled, her tails moving to swish right behind her again. "What, belly rubs? How indignified!" he proclaims, though he makes no move to avoid such things. "What manner of lord would deign to have their handsome belly caressed by a guest?" Oh ho, candy? "You've all been trained in my weaknesses," he says in an almost pouty way as he accepts the candy and promptly pops it into his chubby snout, mmmm. "But you didn't come here simply to faun over me, or did you? I would not object to new personal servants, but I would guess you've come with heavier topics on mind than the abject worship of me." Fenris takes this as an invitation to rise and approach. "I confess, Lord Tanuki, that we are not here only to bask in your magnificent presence," he says, almost wishing that it WAS the only reason they were here, the big fellow seemed pleasant enough. "We also come as residents of the city of Fairhaven, where Zephyr resides," he says, "hoping to learn of your intentins for our poor city." The tiger thinks a moment, "Although, meeting you is certainly a prize in itself," he says with a smile, honestly tempted to rub that big belly, but afraid to do so without invitation. Technetium nods respectfully. "I am a agent of RSX, of Woodfield City. We are here to discuss the future of the relations between our two companies and the Tanuki, or, specifically, you." Her dual tails move slowly, and her eyes focus intently. "You have a facinating civilization." She gestures out to the rest of the city. "But, for us, all civilization is facinating these days." she says sadly. "I don't blame you for oggling my wonderful city," Or his wonderful self, as he soaks up the attention gleefully. "My people know their places. The rulers rule justly. The serfs work diligently. The warriors fight fiercely and the merchants make sure everything is where it needs to be. Our priests are pious and humble, and even the destitute, few they are, are properly demure. It is a model society." Maybe not THE model society, but certainly a model of one. "Now then, to business. Have you told the leaders of your Zephyr tower of their new lord and master? I'm eager to tour the facility and meet their talented artisans. The city it dwells in is also in dire need of my attention. Every day we wait is suffering, for the people there." "Not quite, your grace," Grace says. "Things are a bit more... complicated than simply laying claim to the land. In particular, Zephyr isn't the governing body of the city so much as it is the employer of many citizens." Fenris nods at Technetium's comment. "I would love to learn more about the tanuki," he says, "Your city and your people are remarkable!" The tiger swallows when asked about the state of negotiations. "The leaders of Zephyr have not yet been informed, Lord Tanuki," he says, "W have begged the indulgence of three days to reach those responsible for the company and for them to make decisions of their own." He waves a hand to Grace. "And my companion is right, Zephyr does not govern Fairhaven," he says, "Fairhaven currently has no direct government." The tiger hopes that was not the wrong thing to say. Technetium points to the RSX badges on her shoulders. "I have no influence with Zephyr, and I am from a different city from them. However, I would still like to persist in trying to create good relations from RSX Solutions with Woodfield City and the Tanuki people." "It's unclaimed?" he asks in a surprised, yet delighted, tone, "No ruler? This is wonderful! If there is no claim to the land, than no one can hold it in ill grace to do so now. We will bring civility to your ravaged world. No more raping and violence in the streets, or forcing even your youth to be trained for battle instead of learning proper social graces, or even learning the simple joys of proper levity. Your world has become such a downer." He sets his hands on his round hips, belly jiggling in the motion, "It's terrible, and long past time we fixed it. The ruler of your tower will come around when they see what we've done with the city around them." Oh he seems distracted now, barely paying attention to the words being spoken in his direction now that a new avenue of action has been found. Fenris seems to have said exactly the wrong thing."But, Lord Tanuki!" he cries, "It is not the land that is the issue here!" The tiger scrambles for words that might help. "The people of Fairhaven are not ready for a ruler!" he says, "Many are still lost to their feral madness! They are not such a quiet, civilized folk as your people. Perhaps it would be better to wait until they are better prepared to recieve your benevolent rule?" Yeah, that didn't sound contrived at all. Technetium coughs, and prepares to point out how hard that'll be. "As you know, our world is infected with tons of small machines call nanites. The problem is, is if your soldiers are unprepared, they will quickly mutate and transform, then soon will lose their minds. Furthermore, our world contains advanced technology that is seemingly millenia beyond your own. Any resistant agents have this technology, and you will only be able to collect the talaki dedicants to your cause. Although this land is unclaimed, its a dangerous wasteland." Grace makes a face for a moment. "While I don't doubt that your rule could be beneficial, I suspect that a large amount of Fairhaven's citizens would object. Many of them actually enjoy anarchy, and as my companion said, a very large number of them are completely mindless. And incredibly difficult to kill." "The magic of your nanites is not entirely new to me," says the Tanuki lord as he strikes his belly like a drum, with a sound that also reminds of it. "It is a wonderful thing that I will master in time. Oh, dear, kill? Do I look like a killer?" he asks, leaning towards Grace with his big happy expression, "I would never dream of it. Maybe rough them a little, but I want to make people happier, not dead. You can't be happy while you're dead. I've tried it, it doesn't work. No no. Your world needs policing, urgently, and if your tower refuses to do it, then it is my DUTY to step in, for their sake." Morten blinks, ears lowered before they perk up at the Tanuki's words "Huh.. so, less chaos more order, i'll believe it when I see it but... go team tanuki!" she nods, shifting to her Tanuki form "If his grace thinks he can change the world for the better, then those who stand in the way of peace need be removed! clearly" she grins, nodding happily and clapping her paws together... Fenris has done it now. An invasion of smiling, chubby raccoon dogs using testicle magic. That should only make things better. "Please reconsider, Lord Tanuki," he says, "Give us time and we can learn to govern ourselves again! So many have raised themselves up from madness, why not give them more time?" He looks worried, "What would you do that we have not tried already?" Actually, he would love to hear the Tanuki lord's plan. Technetium holds out her arm and hand to the side, away from people, and makes small arcs of electricity dance along it, releasing a smell of Ozone. "This is an example of some of the powers we possess. I can channel this to any object [ooc: Proving the Nanomagician perk in a sec] wihin a twenty foot radius, effectivly frying it. To master morphing powers and this power, we required mechanical implants all throughout our body. That can get incredibly expensive. And although your rule may be beneficial to our land, you will have to inocculate your soldiers to the nanite infection. You will have to arm your soldiers with weapons and armor that will not crumble upon exposure to the nanites. You /will/ have to negotiate with the local corporations and agents, or they will put up an incredible and immeasureable resistance." She lets her arm fall back to her side. The Tanuki lord reacts swiftly to the presence of a new female tanuki. He reaches for a hand and kisses the back, "I was told of your arrival, and could feel the seed within you. My lady dear, I can see that you are a loyal one." If she does not prevent him or show displeasure, he leans in to kiss each of her chubby cheeks, "You're all the more ravishing in person, far better than that faint little voice I heard calling to me from your world." One his ears flicks irritably before his attention is pulled away from the fem-tanuki towards Fenris, "I will not live in your realm. You will have your own governing, have no fear. I will select lords from your land, and they will rule it as is proper. I cannot be expected to be everywhere at once." He tilts his head at Tech then, "A lightning sorcerer, are you? Very fascinating. But we are a race of shapeshifters. No idle threat of change can dissuade us for long, so long as we retain our ties to the leaves." Fenris is getting a little exhasperated now and a little worried that someone is apparently threatening the King of the Tanuki. "What I am trying to say, Lord Tanuki," he tries once more, "Is that the people of our world are likely to be unwilling to be ruled! Many are not lovers of peace and order like the good Tanuki of your lands!" Morten blushes, happily flicking her ears as the Tanuki lord kisses the back of her hand and then kisses her on the cheeks, she giggles and smiles "Thank you your grace, your words are far too kind, truthfully, if you are capable of bringing peace, while some will resist they will learn it is for their own good...in time." she nods, eager to work with the Tanuki god, more so than the others of the party. Grace really doesn't think threatening or begging is the way to go here. She steps forward, next to Fenris. "My lord, may I ask, what do you know of the culture, customs, and laws of Fairhaven? It was not always so anarchic, and there are many who still remember how it used to be. I would suggest learning all you can about how Fairhaven once was, so that it can be better restored." "See, she understands!" he exclaims joyfully before he lifts her up and spins her about before setting her down carefully. He strokes over her whiskered cheeks as he replies to Grace, "Precisely why I will send no bureaucrats or nobles at first. Soldiers and big tough tanuki that will knock some sense into the people. Then we select someone from your side who already has respect of the people. They will become my servant, and through them, happiness will flow. I do not know your people, and how can I? I don't expect any of you..." He glances towards Morten, "To just abandon your old ways." His fingers dance under her chin, tickling a little. Clearly he wouldn't mind if one of the party did abandon their old ways. Fenris hesitates for a moment. "What if," he pauses, "What if I wished to learn more about the ways of the Tanuki?" The tiger swallows hard. "Maybe if I understood you better, I could find ways to help us all understand one another," he offers, his resolve strengthening. It really might help, right? To see the tanuki perspective? Morten grins happily, ears flicking as the Tanuki lord spins her around and strokes her, her eyelids flutter closed as she lets out a rumbling murr of pleasure~ "Some will be eager to serve under you, once they see your incredible power my lord, some of us will happily see to aiding in the persuit of peace" she smiles, playing up to the Tanuki's desired answers it seems. Technetium adds onto Grace's statement, trying to bring back the point of the technology of the world. "It doesn't matter how big your Tanuki are if there are gunmen on the rooftops putting metal bits through their skulls. You /need/ to have the backing of every single faction or the attempt will miserably fail. This is not a threat. This is a reality. There are similar people to me who wield the different powers, they can control nature itself in their immediate area due to our nanites. Understand me, this will not be a simple task. You cannot do this bluntly." Her patience is wearing thin, anger and frustration starting to poke through. Her tails are agressively moving. "Even more, you will have to contsruct facilitys to house the captured ferals, get psychologists, and reprogram them to act like a normal person again." Grace really wishes the Kitsune wasn't standing silent. Nobody's making any headway anymore, and the lack of a cohesive argument definitely isn't helping matters. One looks to delay, one to discourage, and the other has simply thrown herself in with the Tanuki. She sighs. She could question what gives him claim to the land. She could question what right he has to rule in another dimension entirely. But at this point, it is obvious that nothing is about to dissuade him. "If we cannot persuade you to reconsider, then we shall inform the leaders of Zephyr as soon as we return to our city." And prepare for war, she thinks. The coondog god lifts his ears, "Do you mean that? I would welcome you, of course. My arms are made for embracing, but know that this is no idle promise. It is called Dedication for a reason. Even if some of my dedicants allow their eyes to wonder." He pokes Morten in the belly at that, then begins to rub there, slow circular motions, "Naughty girl, your field is overgrown with weeds. You should let me prune them out, one...." His claws prick her gently, "By one." Another prick, each sending little tremors of delight through the femme-tanuki as he promises spiritual cleansing.

"How tiring," he says in response to Tech's concerns. "Boring. You are not the only world with magic. You are not even the world with the strongest magic. It's just very... predictable, and orderly. Very useful." he says, greed building in his tone. "We will have it, and you will stop murdering and violating each other as a daily pass time. Everyone stands to benefit. I cannot even fathom how you don't see that. Yes, you should do that, tell the rulers of the tower of me. I will make no move on them directly until the city is tamed, then they will see how utterly silly they're all being." Fenris takes a deep breath. "I will try," he says resolutely, "I will dedicate myself to your way of life to achieve greater understanding." It was worth a shot, right? And the tanuki all seemed so at peace with themselves. Peace would be nice. He looks to the Tanuki Lord expectantly. The city would have to take care of itself for a while. Morten smiles and grins as the Tanuki talks, though she shivers softly as he makes clains that she needs cleansing, though a shiver of pleasure runs through her spine as his claws softly prick at her, "Ohh--wow-" she mumbles, not trying to make an outburst however... she does smile softly as the feelings wash over her, making her feel quite warm and sweet. Reluctantly, the Tanuki lord steps away from Morten with a final brush across her nose, drawing out an immense leaf and draping it over Fenris' head, "Close your eyes and think on me, and what I am, and what it is you wish to be. The more intent your thought, the deeper and faster the seed will grow inside of you, and with it, we will be bound together." Technetium throws her hands into the air and starts pacing in circles, her tails waving agressively behind her. "You don't understand! This isn't /magic/ it's technology! I have a device stuck into me that allows me to shift and use powers! That isn't magic! It's precision control of a previously uncontrollable disease." The air around her smells like Ozone, another sign of agression : loss of focus nesscessary to be able to control the powers. "Our world contains many wonders. We have machines that go in the air and can go faster than the speed of sound. We have devices that can get us to other planets. But for every positive, there is a negative." Morten shivers and looks a little upset...and dizzy as Tanuki steps away from her, she mumbles and sits down, looking a tad like shes just come down from a sugar rush, her ears lower against her head as she sighs "T-that...was mff...fun" she mumbles aloud. Fenris closes his eyes and feels the cool leaf sitting on his head. What did he want? "Peace," he murmurs to himself, then thinks on the peace and order in the lives of the tanuki he had seen on the way here. He thought on the warmth and comfort of family, of the father with his child. He imagined the considerate civility of their guide and the gentle curiosity of those who watched them travel. He ponders on the warmth and generosity and eagerness of the Tanuki Lord and lets himself be carried away by it. The Leaf suddenly vanishes, its green vitality seemingly absorbed into Fenris as their body suddenly grows plump and round, as all the other Tanuki as they become a proper coondog. "Ah, I was worried you were not sincere, but I was mistaken. Welcome, my son." He leans forward to nuzzle nose against nose with the newest Tanuki. The Tanuki lord puts his eyes on the one non-coondog in attendance, "A demonstration is in order! I do not fear your magic, or anyone else's, especially not here in my demense. Go on, do what you will, show me its power. Your magic may be potent, but it is limited by its wielder, and you are not my equal." Grace places a paw on Technetium's shoulder. "Now is not the time," she says. "We'll be better off if we don't antagonize him furher." Technetium glares angrily at the Tanuki lord, then pulls a small pistol from her internal coat pocket. She flicks the power switch on it, then it is alight with power. She looks at him for a second, then powers it down. "My thoughts are too blinded with rage to control my magic effectivly. You will need to wait and let me meditate, else this dual is not at it's peak." She sits on the floor, crosslegged, and exhales slowly, relaxing. An aura of serenity seems to eminate from her. The Tanuki flashes a broad grin, "Anger is a terrific tool," he says in an agreeable tone. "You'll see what I mean, soon, I imagine. It is time to start sending you home." He looks to Grace first, "Have you spoken your peace?" Grace nods. "I have," she says. "I do not believe anything I could say would change your mind, or even cause you to reconsider." Fenris feels good! He feels warm and comfortable and. . . fat? The new tanuki opens his eyes and examines his new form in wonder. While his coat has remained with him, his nanite formed pants have vanished again revealing the calling card of male tanuki's everywhere. "Oh my!" he says, and is then overwhelmed with feelings of calm satisfaction as his new Lord nuzzles him affectionately. "Wha-what do I do nkw, my lord?" he asks. Poof! With a whirling of the green leaves, Grace is sent on their way. He looks towards Tech next, "And you? I trust you have enjoyed your stay and have said your part?" Technetium stands up and nods slowly. "Yes. But don't let my warning go unheeded." She says coldly, then turns her back to the Tanuki. Poof~ Leaves send the next visitor on their way. And, left with the other two, Tanuki grins, "Well, now that the unpleasant people have left, that leaves us to discuss much more interesting things." Morten shivers and climbs back up onto her paws "Woah, that was....interesting, mfff... that was an odd sensation, kinda like a steam bath" she shrugs, shaking her head and looking around "-...Where did everyone go?" she asks with a blink. Fenris looks expectantly at his new master. If he had known that being a tanuki would feel like this, he would have asked to join up from the beginning! And to have such a kind Lord like this one. Fenris knows that some of these feelings were just the rush of transformation and the effects of his dedication, but still! He could see why the Tanuki Lord would want to share his blessing with those who sought it. Tanuki moves to wrap an arm around Fenris, drawing him along towards Morten to nuzzle the both of them, his large belly rubbing along with his snout, "I am delighted to have my otherworldly kin here. I sent the others on their way, as they were becoming rude, and grumpy. No fun to be had with them, and they didn't even rub my belly, even after they were told to, the nerve." Morten blinks and snaps back to reality as she realises what happened during her little moment of pleasure "W-well, quite my lord.. they should have shown proper manners when dealing with such a kind host such as yourself" she nods, nuzzling the Tanuki back happily as her tail swishes behind her and ears flick happily "So, what would my-... our lord, like to discuss with his humble servants?" she asks, glancing at Fenris before back to the Tanuki lord. Fenris smiles. "You mean you really DO like to have your belly rubbed, my lord?" he asks, "I sort of thought that it was a joke from our guide." Now that he thinks about it, the new tanuki feels like it WOULD be rather nice to have someone rub his own new, round belly. "Well... there are tactics to be thought out, but that's boring. What I see are two young Tanuki that haven't yet learned to kow tow before me or run away when they hear I'm coming out of fear of me." He tail wags eagerly behind, "And I plan to take advantage of that..."[[Category:RPLogs | Nuku_Events]]

Prove Commands

2014-06-19T07:37:50Z

Technetium: Edited table to show systems that are broken.

== Prove Commands ==
Prove commands are wonderful things that allow you to display various hidden stats to yourself or other players in the room. To prove something, simply type '''+prove Thing''' and it shall be displayed to everyone in the room. To prove something only to yourself, type '''+prove/silent Thing'''.

There are many things you can learn and display with these commands, even being able to prove your gear or equipment! To do such, type '''+gear/prove #''' or '''+equip/prove #'''.

Why are +proves so good? Well to start you can use them in RP to prove unequivocally that you have, are, contain, etc some stat, skill or equipment. They can also be used in String Parsing to make your Description dynamic. For instance if you add [if stat pregnant of [player] > 0]I'm pregnant stuff here! [else] Aww empty womb [end if] then when you are pregnant your 'I'm pregnant stuff here!' will show and when you are not then the 'Aww empty womb' stuff will show. If you want either field to be empty, just put nothing there, for example [player] > 0]Waddles around in very ill-fitting clothes. [else][end if] will put the waddles around in ill-fitting clothes if you are pregnant, and nothing if you are not. You can put any of these '''+prove Thing''' in place of Pregnant, another example being [if stat mutation/head of [player] is Overdrive Fox]I have pink and white furred head!! [else][end if].
