Who: Tsuyukusa
When: Day 24, night
Where: hallway outside apartment sparkles
What:

[Treebird seems to have regained his humanoid form, even devoid of antlers of any sort. He's been staying pretty scarce after his run-in with Thusia in his basest form, and is currently leaning against one of the hallway walls near Apartment Sparkles, running his hands thoughtfully over a length of sturdy branch he apparently has brought in from Nature.

Investigate, y/n?]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

[and the branch in his hands finishes becoming a staff, all smooth lines and unbroken wood, like it had grown that way naturally.]

--Hunters?!

Are you able to do that with any wood from this place?

I am. Why?

...Yes? We're just animals to them, after all.

[shakes his head slightly]

It's simply curiosity for the moment. I have heard that there are many different skills represented here, but that one wasn't mentioned.

[so you know how the air's been heavy with his presence but overall pretty manageable because he was calm.

right now he's pissed. guess what happens then.]

I didn't get it from a god, if that's what you mean. It's simply a part of what I am.

[ --IMMEDIATELY poofs back into a fox, scrambling off and away from him as quickly as she can under that pressure, bristling and terrified. ]

[wait what why--]

[oh.

fuck.

CALM DOWN DAMNIT.]

[THIS IS HARD but luckily i have the sort of will-power that enables me to block out entire chunks of my own memories.

the pressure eases slowly.]

[ ...didn't actually end up getting too far, but stays where she'd huddled against the wall, wide-eyed and tails between her legs, fur veery slowly flattening back down. For a moment, she's silent, but-- ]

...I-I-I'm s-sorry--

Shhh.

[holding his hand out again, still concentrating on calming down, but not wanting to upset her further.]

It's not your fault. I'm sorry I snapped. I- I didn't mean for that to happen.

I didn't think you had. Can they provide abilities like that?

I think so. I'm not sure what the circumstances are, but...

[ Just sinks down against the floor, narrowing her eyes a little in uncertainty rather than suspicion. She's breathing a bit heavily. ]

W-why did...

[beam beam beam]

It's fine. I will ask about it some time.

...I don't like how --

Never mind. This isn't the place to be picky about that sort of thing.

Are you alright?

Alright then.

Let me know if you ever need me to make anything.

[ ...Cautiously crawling back over to him, curling into a tight ball under his outstretched hand. ]

...I-I'm sorry. Um, d-don't like how... what?

[smooths her fur with a gentle hand.]

How calm you are about hunters. I- I don't like a world where it's normal, to be like that.

[ She's quiet for a long few minutes, shivering under his pets, but. ]

...They don't know any better, between one animal and another. I only had one tail then, too. The dogs don't know, either, they just do as they're told.

...It doesn't change, when they do know better. Hunting an animal and hunting an ayakashi--

It's the same, whether they know or not.
