Mighty Morphing People Eaters +

Editing that 6 picture draft thing I posted earlier about how a lot of the morphers have in fact eaten people. With the addition of a Julie Saz interaction about it after the fact. Thought it would be a great inclusion after a point @the-void-writes brought up. Also me trying to puzzle together Julie's morphed form a bit XD. Though it's probably just gonna be the partially morphed one.

Tag list: @outpost51 @nanashi23 @winterandwords @jezifster @kk7-rbs @aether-wasteland-s @dumbthunder @manathen @the-void-writes @liv-is (Let me know if you want to be added or removed from the taglist!)

Saz groaned, sprawled out on her back. Stomach sounding out with her. The bear morpher turned her head to the side. Ignoring the grass tickling her nose. Until a particularly invasive blade invaded her nostril. She simply huffed out nasally breath. Too hungry to really give a damn.

Elliot stepped out of Ian and Julie's place, staring at Saz. He scratched at the velvet on his singular standing antler, with trimmed nails.

"You okay?"

"I'm fucking hungry!"

Saz lifted her arms, letting gravity toss them back down. Repeating the action as Elliot tip-toed over barefoot— Saz had noticed. Briefly wondering if she had taken the last pair of the deer morpher's shoes. The thought rudely interrupted by the insistent grumbling of her stomach.

Elliot had a shit eating grin going ear to ear as he leaned over her. Reaching down to pat the bear morpher's stomach.

"Hungry enough to eat a person?" Elliot questioned far too amused with himself.

Saz growled, low in her throat. Baring her teeth at the deer morpher highly unamused. She slapped the hand Elliot offered her, muttering a good when he winced. Flinging her torso upwards. Her locs hitting the back of her neck. Tossing a few back and out of her face.

She rolled her eyes at Elliot's muffled laughter. Too far gone to appreciate that he at least was trying to withhold it.

Ian, approached, obviously having overheard. His deer ears having pinned back at the sound of a wheezy inhale from the redheaded asshole. Apparently, a lot of Elliot noises made his ears do that. He wrapped a bright red set of hand wraps around the branches of his antlers. Each antler seeming to be dedicated to one pair.

"I heard a lot of morphers say it's pretty gross," Ian shrugged looking at Saz who had fully risen by now, "I personally didn't hate it. It was a really long mission though."

Saz looked at Ian and blinked, "Wouldn't call it fine dining." She grumbled.

Elliot looked to him baffled, laughter in control now. Silently offering a shoulder for the hungry Saz to rest on.

"Uh, Ian our teeth aren't that sharp."

Ian held a shrug, awkward smile curving his lips up. Rubbing his hand roughly over his mouth, disturbing his facial hair.

"Didn't eat it raw— And not necessarily in a hunt." Ian's grin grew a little more confident at the admittance, "Killed it with my antlers. Your crush and I butchered it. We tossed it into the flame during a very overdrawn mission."

Saz tried to bite back her disgust. Tugging absentmindedly at her scruff. Elliot had a very different response, taking it with strides.

"Am I the only one who hasn't had human?!" Elliot questioned.

"Out of us, yeah," Ian responded, not noticing Saz's disgust or growing ire towards him.

Saz grumbled remembering how she had guts stuck in her teeth and beard. How awful it tasted. And how persistently it lingered. If desperation had a taste she thought her first taste of human was that. She wiped aggressively at her mouth with the back of her hand.

Elliot crossed his arms, "We gotta fix that."

"Y'all can fix that. I need real food." Saz pushed off of Elliot shakily walking forward.

"Why didn't you get food with Julie?" Ian washed curious, laughing at the way Elliot had stumbled back.

"Something about helping with new recruits and needing a swim."

Elliot and Ian made loud noises of understanding. Catching up to either side of Saz.

"You know there's a pretty good vendor out here. Got burgers I'm pretty sure." Ian mentioned.

"Oh oh! I heard about them. I think they use specialty meat." Elliot grinned twisting his barely there scruff between his fingers, "They might even serve human."

Saz briefly thought about yanking it, but she new it would probably yank it out. So she shoved her hands in her shorts pockets instead, gripping her thighs.

Ian rolled his eyes a little but laughed, "They got it a blend so you won't even notice?" He joked.

Saz gagged, "Have fun with that. I'm gonna go eat a pinecone or something."

Saz began to walk off from the two joyful deer morphers. The bear morpher growling with the same ferocity of her stomach.

"Saz wait! Julie's gonna need something tough to chew through!" Elliot said through gasps, hand reached out to use Ian as support.

"Good for the tummy and the soul. Guaranteed!" Ian added, doubling over.

Saz turned around and flipped them off. Their echoing laughter actively pissing Saz off. Wandering until she reached the goofy little convenience store they all had ran through. With newfound vigor, she bolted.

(The Extra Scene is below the cut)

Julie climbed out of the lake, holding her catch in her mouth. Dragging herself along until she believed she was far enough on the shore. Her morpher form made it nearly impossible to see clearly.

"Julie! You done?" Saz called out sitting a distance away.

The hagfish morpher heard her open a bag of chips, with a loud pop. Julie laughed in a rapid following of snorts. Submerged in slime, basically forming a puddle beneath her.

Saz watched the gills on her neck flutter. Unbothered by the rows of far too many teeth forming a smile.

"Yeah. I can hear you were able to find food eventually." Julie's eye darted around until she saw a Saz shaped blob.

Saz waved when Julie finally found her. A handful of chips already in her mouth.

"Sorry for leaving you hanging." Julie quickly apologized, cursing out as she began to return to her human form.

Julie had made demorphing look easy. But Saz hadn't seen the morpher in her fully morphed form just yet. Maybe that was the reason. The hagfish morpher practically curled into herself as her face restructured itself. Saz couldn't tell beneath the slime, but she was sure there were tears under it. Once fully back to her human form she held her mouth, eyes clenched shut in pain. Slime still hanging off of her.

"You left me with your asshole of a friend." Saz spoke, eyes still on Julie.

Julie stumbled forward, carefully holding her catch. She grabbed the multiple rolled towels she had brought with her and chuckled a little.

"What did he do now?" Julie asked wiping the slime off of her face and arms, aggressively, very aggressively.

Saz instead kept her eyes on Julie. Both were unbothered as Julie peeled herself out of a very stretched shirt in disgust. The slime formed thin strings as she worked it off.

"You've eaten people... By choice," Saz stated, resting her chin on her palm.

Julie briefly stopped what she was doing. Her eye locking with Saz's immediately. The morpher began to ooze slime again.

"I have," Julie answered honestly.

"Did you like it?" Saz's voice held no malice, only curiosity.

"Sometimes yes. Sometimes no." Julie answered, dragging the towel down her body.

Saz's face twisted then. Julie swallowed hard, trying to wipe off the slime with the small hint of desperation creeping up on her.

"They were long missions. Missions where we lacked the supplies and it was just more convenient." Julie added, she shook her head knowing she didn't have to tell Saz that but she was going to make it worse, "And once to prove a point."

Saz grumbled a bit, obviously in thought, "What was the point?"

Julie laughed softly at that one. Couldn't help herself. Wrapping her catch in a clean towel. Tugging off a pair of shorts she had very much gotten from Ian. Saz thought she looked better with them off. Waiting for an answer Julie wiped as much slime as she could off her legs.

"That I could," Julie grinned a little then, gripping Saz's shoulder as she bent down to whisper in her ear, "And that I'm nothing more than a wild animal."

Saz whipped her head around to Julie. Sliding away a little, watching Julie with wide eyes. Finding that a smile with less teeth was a little scarier. Saz could feel her heart pounding at her temples.

"Was that," Saz paused eyes trying to look anywhere besides Julie's eye, "Was that one of the times it uh tasted good."

Julie shrugged, ultimately shushing the bear morpher.

"I'd never gloat about my eating habits—I guess that's what you call it—like Elliot and Ian. I've already said too much." Julie laughed softly, chewing on her bottom lip.

Julie wrapped the one remaining towel around herself. Tying it methodically. Before hoisting the two fish wrapped skillfully in the towel.

"Come bring this to one of the vendors with me. We can't just live off MiniMart hot dogs. And I know your friend is selfish and won't cook for us."

Saz rolled her eyes but nodded. Still on edge from their just ended conversation. She had a little more space between them on their walk back than usual.

#writeblr #random writes #Ian and Elliot can be little oddballs #So they're a little more brash about it just because they think it's kinda funny that people eating is like the scariest thing they've done #But I'm thinking a lot of the morphers that don't morph into naturally preying animals are insensitive about the people eating thing #Julie is very straight forward like she's gonna say what's on her mind but she's more hesitant about it #And not just because she was talking to Saz #oh uh shit to I need to put a warning?#cw: body horror #<- A little #cw: people eating

you have chosen the path that I don’t understand

The path that I don’t understand

is the path held onto like crutches, you use when you wander through your world

adjust yourself successfully and call your new friends

Maybe it’s all an ego acid trip for me that I dreamt up, an ice cold witch brew breathed into

I always imagine up everything beloved

whatever trace you want to leave behind is made up from the little things you do

One comes up with intricate stories about jellyfish, and the other writes poems they never share. They can both come up with poems about jellies that no one'll ever know about! They will probably never hold each other's hand, though...

#fanart #sketch #Sky: Children of the Light #Season of Passage #Oddball Outcast #Melancholy Mope #Ah youth...#Mope would never share the jellyfish poems. Oddball can count on them #Haha. I have stuff I've written and neverbshared with anyone #Other than my closest friend #Hell we only ever shared each other's writings with each other #AAAAAAH NOW I SEE THE MOPE MAYBE SHARING ONE OR TWO JELLYFISH POEMS WITH THE ODDBALL

stardew valley adjacent AU where Killua just up and absconds to scraggly-ass farm in a tiny little town in a quiet little valley fairly far from any city and very, VERY far from his family. He brings Alluka with him because arguably she needs new start even more than he does. Together they claw their way through figuring out how to clear out the land, grow a few crops, make new things from various resources. Alluka practically moves into the town library for a full week and a half reading every book she thinks will help. Eventually they buy some chickens, then a few goats. Killua attempts to train the goats to head-butt people on command, but only one of them gets it, and the rest are frustratingly relaxed. A few weeks into the farm life they find a kitten in an overgrown tangle and they name it Marshmallow but Alluka insists on referring to it as Killua’s son/child/baby every chance she gets and Killua pretends to be annoyed but secretly loves it.

They slowly get to know their neighbors, although initially Killua just keeps handing extra rocks to people (they have SO MANY rocks piling up in their storage) which pisses off nearly everyone in town except for the son of the lady who runs the saloon. Killua tries to break into the sewer. Alluka drags him up into the caves north of town because now she’s the town librarian’s favorite patron and she’s determined to find all sorts of cool things to fill the museum. They get the kitchen fixed up properly and get better at fishing. Killua keeps giving rocks to the town doctor just to piss him off and purposefully starts a feud with the manager at the local JojaMart, because their family has a stake in JojaMart and neither of them wants to see any connection to their family now that they finally have something that’s theirs. The guy who runs the farm supply store lets them know about a small cave on their farm that’s been growing weird mushrooms. Alluka finds a shadow person in the basement and they bond immediately, and she seems very young and they don’t want her out on her own, so now they have a roommate. Killua gets overly-invested in the various contests and competitions that take place throughout the year and obsesses over the melon plants and blueberry bushes while Alluka coaxes jam and pickle recipes out of the local grandmas.

They run into the saloon owner’s son at 1:30am while they’re leaving the caves because he’s going INTO the caves to collect slimes in a bucket (he’s been studying them in his free time because as an animal they make absolutely NO sense). Later he introduces Killua and Alluka to the junimos, who absolutely adore him because he’s spent his whole life in the forest getting to know them. And he also tells them “oh yeah and watch out for the big bear in the far west part of the forest, I think maybe it’s magic” and Killua says “wait what bear” and he says “oh don’t worry, even if you could get through the massive tree in the path i’m pretty sure the bear is friendly, anyways have a good night guys!” and Killua says “Gon wait come back WHAT BEAR” and Alluka makes a mental note to ask the blacksmith how much it will cost to get a stronger ax so she can bust apart the tree and meet the magic bear.

#brought to you by: i was trying to do homework while listening to the sdv soundtrack but my brain did this instead #i could go on FOREVER i love sdv and it's a fun game and i like the oddball elements in it and i haven't played it in three months :')#does it all make sense for the hxh context? no but arguably neither does my ghost hunters au #everybody needs some fun concepts they're just vibing with i think. good for the soul #my post #text #killua #alluka #btw if anyone is wondering i imagine that kurapika is a weird guy who lives in a little cabin on the beach #he's friendly but a little reclusive and there's a lot of gossip in town about what his deal must be #killua's heard that he's an author writing a book AND that he's a former mafioso in hiding and he's decided that both is a fun option #he isn't basing this on anything except that it's fun to imagine

Medusa! Reader and Shang Tsung in MK 1 (Part 1)

SPOILER ALERT FOR MK 1 STORYMODE

A/N: I hope y'all like this as I've been hyped for this game since I heard its release!!! I was so excited for the possibilities that I watched the full storymode cut as soon as it came out to take notes! Be aware, given this is a new timeline, there ARE gonna be some changes from the other hc/s you've known, but rest assured that doesn't mean I have forgotten. Please enjoy!

You were born around the same northern canton as Shang Tsung, yet you would come to know him in adulthood. You were born as the second eldest to your village's apothecary during your childhood. You never knew your eldest sister, who was taken at infancy to become Umgadi; despite this, your mother always spoke highly of the daughter she never got to know. To the point of being grating to everyone around you, including yourself. On the other hand, your father had high hopes for you to someday take over the apothecary of your village, having seen your innate talent and intrigue for medicine from an early age.

You reveled in the pride your father expressed for you. Although, your mother gave you a different time of day despite your best efforts. Because of your frustrations, you would come across to others as prickly and shrewish. Although deep down, you just wanted a chance to make BOTH your parents proud.

That day came, but not in the way you truly hoped, when a plague struck your village from another nearby canton. Thankfully, it wasn't Tarkat, but that didn't make the one that came any less deadly.

You and your father worked day and night to help treat your village, giving them depleting medicine to ease their symptoms. However, that doesn't mean you didn't have your fair share of corpses you had to help burn to stifle the plague from spreading.

When your father became ill from overworking, you took it upon yourself to search for a cure. It took weeks of secretly digging corpses out of the burn puts and cutting them open (something that wasn't so hard for you to stomach, oddly) to find which combinations of elixirs were the most effective before you found a cure. Even then, it took weeks of trials and tribulations before you finally succeeded. However, to others, you seemed to have cured your village overnight by some miracle, making both your parents proud.

From then on, through the grapevine, it wasn't hard for the newly crowned rulers of Outworld, Sindel and Jerrod, to hear the word of an upcoming healer making a name for herself around the northern cantons by healing most ailments and diseases. Eventually, they would invite you to study at the palace to further your knowledge of medicine.

You were already stunned to hear of Outworld's rulers inviting YOU, of all people, to study at their palace. Imagine your amazement when you first saw the luscious and lively city of Sun Do. Yet the city seemed pale compared to the crown jewel of Sun Do Palace.

When you were escorted into the palace, instead of immediately heading into the throne room as instructed, you slipped away from Li Mei's watch to head toward the legendary Hanging Gardens. While exploring the garden's flora, you took the time to sketch out the plant life you've never seen to look up later while listing off the medical herbs you could gather from there. In fact, you were so caught up in what you were doing you didn't immediately acknowledge Empress Sindel when she entered. When she invited you inside for tea, did you finally look up from what you were doing and realize who you had spoken to the entire time.

You quickly bowed as you started to ramble out apologies for not properly greeting your Empress, stating how you meant no offense or disrespect. Sindel only gave a small chuckle and brushed it off, stating it was a relief to know the healer they invited to study here had so much potential. From there, after getting berated by Li Mei about how there won't be a next time for you to slip from her, you meet Jerrod.

Jerrod and Sindel watched you flourish into a benevolent and dedicated healer, eventually the Head Healer for the Palace, often treating the royal family, Imperial Guard, or Umgadi. While there, you were also trained by Li Mei herself to defend yourself, to prove that every member of the Imperial House is capable of defending Outworld.

You and Sindel grew to have a close friendship. In fact, you treated Sindel the most when she was pregnant with twins and watched as both came into the world. You, too, helped with the upbringing of Mileena and Kitana after Jerrod's death. Sindel found she could confide in you, knowing any secret with you is safe, assured in your loyalty to her and the royal house.

However, that's not to say your friendship with Sindel didn't get into trouble occasionally, specifically in matters concerning Tarkat and those afflicted with it, as your role as a Healer conflicts with Sindel's policies.

You took it upon yourself to become one of the lead researchers into Tarkat, including going to the colony of those afflicted in the Wastes. What you saw appalled you and sickened every part of you that is a Healer.

Yet, as Sindel continues to ignore your suggestions on improving Tarkatan's life, a wedge forms between you. Still, that doesn't stop you from advocating giving Tarkatans better treatment than what they currently have. You and Sindel's skirmish reaches a crescendo when Mileena, infected with Tarkart, one day approaches you.

You tried everything you could to treat her in secret from Sindel, fearing the Empress would banish her own daughter. Yet neither of your efforts would be successful as Sindel and Kitana eventually learned about Mileena's affliction. You and Sindel argued about how Mileena's illness should be dealt with, with you calling Sindel a hypocrite for protecting Mileena when she doesn't do the same for the rest of her sick subjects.

Thanks to the new sorcerer, Shang Tsung, that Mileena found, she was temporarily cured before she could go on a bloody rampage. Immediately, you asked Shang how he figured out how to treat Mileena's symptoms. To which he answered by offering a partnership, stating that together, you both had a real chance to cure the princess and all of Outworld. An invitation you were not going to turn down, much to the Sorcerer's delight.

Thanks to Shang Tsung backing your argument, Sindel had a laboratory built near the Tarkatan camp so you could further your studies for a cure. Although, secretly, it may have also been a way for you to put some distance between you and Sindel since you felt you needed time away from her and the city.

Shang Tsung introduced you to Syzoth, who he claimed would work as an assistant. You were unaware of his enslavement to Shang. Although more at ease in your presence, you couldn't help but notice how twitchy Syzoth can be, especially whenever Shang is in the room.

You recognize Shang's mannerisms, dialect, and choice of clothing to be from the same area you're from. Despite the familiarity you two connected with, you were wary of Shang when he refused to indulge in what he used to be. While he finds your caution understandable, that would not stop him from trying to woo you.

At first, he wasn't quite successful in using honeyed words and shiny trinkets since you were too caught up in your work to care for them. Frustratingly for him, you struck a faster friendship with Syzoth over your interests in each other's cultures. Yet, it didn't escape Shang's notice that Syzoth would cringe at your dark humor and be unable to fully understand the theories you would share with him.

Shang Tsung changed his approach to you after taking note of you and Syzoth's interactions (and punishing Syzoth in private). He got this chance when you let slip a dark joke that some would say is in bad humor. You slap a hand over your mouth when you realize what you said. Yet, to your surprise, the sorcerer you saw as pretentious and full of himself let out a genuine laugh to the point he had to step back from his worktable to reorient himself.

Shang Tsung didn't fake finding you humorous, yet he's not complaining about it, especially when it meant seeing you direct your smile toward him. One small but genuine one he scarcely ever saw directed at him. He found himself wanting more.

Such a small moment led to a friendship that intertwined with your partnership. Shang got you talking about your work and what you hope to accomplish with it, occasionally encouraging you. You would find him sometimes jotting down notes when you share with him theories you developed about Tarkat, including how its mutative properties cause an excessive amount of bone to grow from a person and could probably strengthen a person if used right.

"Yet, I would never actually see if that's true. Not only would it be incredibly painful, but it would be an act against nature.

"Of course, yet shouldn't progress be something healers should strive for?

"Indeed we do, but not at the cost of lives."

Syzoth watched as your relationship with Shang Tsung flourished, thus leading you to share a few apothecary secrets your father taught you. The Zatteran wishes he could've told you about the man you looked fondly at, yet he kept his mouth shut for the sake of his family.

Unbeknownst to you, Shang Tsung would take some of your ideas and theories with Tarkat and then make them into a horrid reality, all right under your nose. For all you knew, the basement level of the lab would eventually be used to treat patients.

Yet, you didn't think Shang Tsung could ever be so depraved. Not from the charming and intelligent man you came to know through long discussions and walks near the lab. However, you started to grow suspicious since you saw Syzoth often head downstairs, but Shang Tsung discouraged you from looking around below. This eventually spiraled into a confrontation between the two of you.

You argued that both of you are partners and thus are equals. Just, what was he hiding down there? However, when you confronted the Sorcercer and gave him a piece of your mind, that's when disaster struck.

You were standing under a shelf when a glass jar containing proto-type Anti-Tarkat serum fell directly on your head. You screamed at the searing pain of glass and the serum entering your eyes.

The chain reaction of the shelf then collapsing and causing more elixirs to fall on your face didn't help with the pain. Your skin started to peel away, leaving your entire body in patches of red rashes, and your hair fell out in clumps. Your screams filled the entire laboratory as you collapsed to the ground. You didn't see the panicked look on Shang's face as he instructed Syzoth (who saw the whole thing) to carry you.

A/N: Sorry, that's all for now, folks. I reached the word count limit.😅 Don't worry, part 2 is coming out real soon!

Us Oddballs Gotta Stick Together

Chapter 1

The crowded airport terminal was loud, putting you on edge as you frantically scanned the area, looking for the familiar face of the person who invited you here when you heard their voice call out to you, coming from the left.

“Y/N!”

You turned to see your cousin waving you down, and you let out a small sigh of relief as you dragged your suitcase over to them, subconsciously fixing the beanie on your head. As you got closer you could see that your cousin wasn’t alone, but instead accompanied by a woman who looked to be in her late twenties to early thirties dressed in business casual, same as your cousin.

“Hey squirt! Long time no see! How is everyone back home?” Your cousin exclaimed as they threw their arm around your shoulder to pull you in for a hug. You laughed, returning the hug with your free arm.

“Hey Inari, it’s good to see you too. Everything’s good, although Jiji would like it if you would go back to visit. ” You replied, patting your cousin on the back to signal you wanted to be let go. They removed their arms from around you with a laugh, their face crinkling up in mirth.

“I didn’t think that old fart would miss me that much- ow, hey!” They hissed, rubbing their arm when you smacked them.

“Don’t be rude.” You huffed, narrowing your eyes at Inari. They laughed again and held their hands up in surrender for a few seconds before jolting and quickly gesturing to the lady, as if they had forgotten about her existence momentarily.

“Y/n, I’d like you to meet my assistant, Claire. Claire, this is my cousin Y/n, the one who is coming to work at the ‘Plex.” They explained, and the woman- Claire- held her hand out for you to shake. You took her hand timidly, remembering what your mom had taught you about American customs.

About a moonth ago Inari had gotten into contact with your after about 5 years of total silence and asked if you wanted to come work for them in a daycare. They had been having trouble keeping the job position filled, and Inari remembered that you were good with kids and how much the little ones in the village loved you, so you were the perfect candidate.

Of course you couldn’t say no, especially when you learned how much money you would be making. Plus, it was a chance for you to get out of the village and explore the world a bit more, despite your obvious…. abromalities.

You retracted your hand from Claire’s and she gave you a small, proffesional smile. “A pleasure to meet you, Mx. Y/n. I’ve heard quite a bit about you, and I’ve got to say, I’m quite amazed.”

You flushed, before your stomach dropped to the floor and you grew pale. How much did she know? You looked over at Inari in panic, and they frowned before grabbing you gently by the wrist, leading you out of the airport to a waiting car, Claire following behind. A man opened the door for you and took your suitcase from you as you were unceremoniously tugged into the vehicle.

The backseat was separated from the driver’s seat, giving privacy to the passengers in the back. Claire climbed in behind you, and as soon as the door was shut behind her you snapped your head to glare at Inari. “What does she know?” You growled, trying to mask your fear as anger.

Inari just smirked at you and winked, and within seconds you saw their fox ears pop up on their head, the human ones disappearing. Two tails pushed up and out from the band of their slacks and they let out a sigh as their red markings on their face appeared.

You shrunk back slightly in your seat before looking at Claire with a worried glance, only to discover she seemed totally unphased, if not somewhat entranced by your cousin. One of your ears twitched under your beanie in irritation as you tried to comprehend the situation.

While momentarily lost in thought, Inari reached up and snatched your beanie off your head, revealing the black cat ears that sat atop your head instead of regular human ears. You yelped and flattened your ears, moving to cover them with your hands.

“Relax, Y/n. Claire knows all about us- and no, she won’t tell a soul.” Inari spoke calmly as they leaned back in the seat, twirling your beanie on the tip of their clawed index finger. You only relaxed slightly, removing your hands from your head as you leaned back in your seat as well. You watched your cousin twirl the hat a few more times before you snatched it off their finger with an irritated huff.

“Fine, but don’t do that to me Inari, you scared me…” You grumbled, wringing the hat in your hands, thumbing over the hand-stitched silhouette of a cat. Inari snickered, elbowing you in the ribs with an amused flick of their ears.

“Scaredy cat.”

“YOU-” Your sentence was cut off by the sound of the car door opening, and you hastily shoved the beanie back over your ears as quickly as possible, causing them to be squashed down in an uncomfortable manner.

“We’ve arrived, Mx. Sekiguchi."

A man announced as he opened the car door for your cousin, who had already hidden their tails and ears. "Thank you Bruce! Come on Y/n, I need to show you where you'll be staying quickly cause I've got a lunch meeting with a few of the other managers to go over finalizing your employment." They spoke hurriedly as they climbed out of the vehicle, grabbing you by the arm and impatiently pulling you out when you took too long.

Without a moment to spare Inari rushed you forward, hardly giving you a chance to take in where you were.

You were standing in the driveway of a decently large house, big enough that it could be a mansion. The brick walls were immaculate and free of ivy, and the gardens in front leading to the door were perfectly pruned, bright pinks, purples and blues greeting you from the sea of green foliage.

They didn't take you into the main house though, instead veering to the left to take a side path that led around to a smaller house, this one painted a pale yellow and hidden from view. The smaller house was two stories with a little porch in front, complete with a swing.

"This is my guest house, which is gonna be your home away from home from now on! Do with it what you like- however you wanna decorate it, if you want to remodel it, whatever, I don't care. Just let me know and it will get taken care of. There's food in the fridge, towels and stuff are stocked up… everything you need really!" Inari said with a grin, leading you into the building as they spoke.

Entering the house brought you directly into the living room, which connected with an open floor plan to the dining room. The kitchen was situated towards the back of the house, with stairs leading down to the basement and a door leading outside. Back in the living room, there was a half-bathroom beneath the stairs that led to the second floor.

The second floor housed the bedrooms and the full bathroom, which had a separate shower and bathtub. Both bedrooms had neatly made beds, a large closet, a dresser and a vanity as well as a nightstand on either side of the bed. The way everything was set up and how it smelled was very… homey.

“So, whaddya think?” Inari piped up, leaning against the doorframe of the master bedroom as you sat down on the bed, smoothing your hands over the comforter.

“It’s great, thanks again Inari…” You hummed, smiling at them. They waved their hand dismissively with a grin, and Claire walked up behind them, tapping them on the shoulder.

“We need to get going, or you’ll be late for the meeting.” She spoke in a more hushed tone, either not realizing or forgetting that you had more sensitive hearing than humans. Claire then smiled at you, and you returned it nervously. “Your bag is in the living room along with what was shipped here last week.”

You jumped off the bed, shoving Inari out of the way as Claire stepped aside to race downstairs. Sure enough your suitcase was sitting next to the couch, along with the three packages you had previously shipped to Inari when you had learned you were going to be living in America for a while.

The packages contained a majority of your clothes as well as some comfort items, like the doll your mother had gotten you for your fifth birthday. You would get to unpacking those later though, as you had something way more important to do.

You grabbed your suitcase and tossed it onto the couch, unzipping it as Inari and Claire came down the stairs. Pulling out a couple of jackets you grabbed your laptop and microphone, setting them on the coffee table behind you as your cousin shook their head and laughed.

“Let me guess, your old man wanted you to check in as soon as you got here?” They asked, pulling something out of their pocket before throwing it to you. You pulled your laptop charger out of your suitcase before catching the thrown object, shooting Inari an exasperated glare. They laughed, then nodded their head towards the hand that had caught the flying object, which upon inspection turned out to be a set of keys. “Those are the keys to this house, don’t lose ‘em. I’ll see you tomorrow, tell Toshiro ojisan I said hi!”

Inari said before leaving, Claire following them out the door. You rolled your eyes with a laugh, and pulled your beanie off your head, tossing it onto the couch along with the keys before starting to set up your laptop on the coffee table. Once everything was all plugged in and turned on, and the wifi password was obtained via a text message from Inari, you were starting a video call to your parents, hoping the tower in the village would get the signal.

Before long the call picked up, and the first thing you saw was a close up shot of your father’s nose and whiskers. You laughed, which seemed to get his attention because he backed up, sitting down so he was a decent distance from the camera, revealing your mother was sitting in view as well.

“Otōsan, okaasan, how is everything?” You asked, speaking in Japanese so both of your parents could understand you, since your dad only knew a little English. Your mom smiled, patting your dad on the arm. He seemed a little agitated, but he stayed quiet.

“We’ve been just fine sweetheart. Your dad is still getting used to you not being here, but he’ll manage.” Your dad let out a grumble as your mom spoke, his ears flicking in irritation. You laughed, shifting around to wiggle your tail loose from your pants, letting it swish behind you in amusement.

“Otōsan, I’m fine. There’s no need to worry, I’ve got Inari here with me. They said hi, by the way.” You replied, and your father glared into the camera, his fur visibly bristling.

“That’s what I’m worried about. They’re nothing but trouble.” Your father replied, and you sighed. Your mom elbowed your dad in his ribs and he gave her a playful hiss before the two of them looked up at someone that was behind the camera. Your parents both stood up and moved over, and the oldest yokai in the village, and old Kappa named Gamo that everyone referred to as their grandfather, came into view.

“Jiji! How are you?” You asked excitedly, earning a chuckle from the three adults on the other end of the video call as the old kappa sat down.

“Same as ever, little one. How was your trip?”

------------

You spent another hour talking with your parents and Gamo before they ended the call, and you closed your laptop with a small sigh. You stood up and stretched out, then looked around at the packages of your things.

“Might as well…”

With a soft sigh you zipped your suitcase back up and lugged it upstairs, dragging it to the master bedroom before repeating with your other packages. You began the arduous task of unpacking all your things and putting them away, and before you knew it night had fallen.

You yawned, checking the time and decided to wash up before eating. While you didn’t totally hate getting wet like your father, you just hated being submerged- like taking a bath or swimming.

You grabbed your things and jumped in the shower, making sure to put cotton balls in your ears to keep water out of them, and scrubbed up quickly, getting the ick of traveling off you.

You took the cotton out of your ears before you got dressed, shaking your head like a dog would at the feeling before shuddering. “Never gonna get used to that…” You muttered before drying off and getting dressed, taking your hair dryer to your tail and hair, making sure not to blow directly in your ears.

After that, it was time for food.

You padded down to the kitchen, setting your phone on the counter and pressing play on your music playlist while you surveyed what kinds of ingredients Inari had stocked you with. There were all sorts of things, from cereals to frozen meals and just about anything in between.

You settled on making ramen, but not the instant crap- real ramen with ham and egg. You hummed and sang along to the music as you cooked, and before too long you had a delicious bowl of steaming ramen sitting in front of you as you flopped onto the couch.

Just as you were about to take a bite there was a knock on your door, and you grumbled along with your stomach, your ears and tail twitching in irritation. You set your bowl aside and stood up, walkingover and peeking through the peephole to see who was coming to see you at such a late hour, only to see it was your cousin.

You threw the door open with a huff, crossing your arms over your chest as you glared at them. “What do you want, Inari? I was just about to enjoy my dinner before calling it a night.”

Inari snickered, ruffling your hair. “I just came to tell you I’ll be showing you the ‘plex tomorrow, and if you feel like it you can hang out at the daycare for the day to get a feel for what it’s gonna be like.”

You grumbled and shoved their hand off your head, squinting at them. “Is that it? If so, then goodnight, I’m going back to my ramen. Oh, and everyone says hi.” You huffed out before stepping back and closing the door in your cousin’s face, causing them to laugh loudly.

You walked back to the couch and flopped down with a grumble, picking your bowl back up and devouring your slightly cooled off ramen. You watched tv for a little bit before taking care of your dishes and finally calling it a night, climbing into bed and curling into a tight ball under the covers, falling asleep rather quickly.
