voice testing

[ammako]

[See who is giving her mun looks full of curiosity. Voice testing sounds like a strange thing. But it's not something to eat, that much she can tell.

So Amaterasu stares at her mun. And stares...

And eventually she yawns. Shouldn't you be doing other things?]

[[That wolf…there was something familiar about it.

Don't mind her, Amaterasu. She'll be over here, watching you quietly from a distance.]]

That's fine, no worries. :)

[ammako]

[Why, yes, there is something familiar about this woman too. But so very different at the same time.

Don't mind her approaching you.]

Thanks~

[goddessinthefog]

[[So the wolf was approaching her… and the manner in which it did so didn't seem hostile at first glance, at least.

She could defend herself if needed, but for now Izanami crouched down to the wolf's level, trying to watch it in a way that she hoped would not be perceived as a threat.

A faint smell of death and decay clung around her body.]]

…Hello.

[ammako]

[Yes the smell of death and decay had reached her nose a while ago and it's far from being as nice as the scent a field of flowers or her favorite treat.

You don't attack her and Amaterasu has no reason to attack you, lady.

She sits down, looking at her. Hello, who are you.]

[goddessinthefog]

[[OOC: Not sure how much she'd be able to understand of what Amaterasu is saying? Is she using telepathy or some equivalent? - Not as familiar with Okami as I really should be, sadly.]]

Strange. It feels as if I know you.

[[The natural thing to do would be to hold her hand out to let the wolf sniff it, however, all things considered she was rather wary of how that might turn out. So right now she just settled for staying where she was.]]

[ammako]

((OOC: tbh, I don't expect anyone to understand Ammy unless there's somewhat of a translator (*cough*Issun*cough*) or they are able to speak to animals... or are godly in some way... Sorry, I'm not of much help DX ))

[That woman might not be able to understand her, but Amaterasu is able to understand her.

It's strange though, there is something that feels familiar, yet something that also makes her feel like she has to be careful around her...]

[goddessinthefog]

[[OOC: No worries :) I'll assume she can't really understand then.]]

Who are you?

[[What was that familiarity, and why couldn't she place it?

She knew the wolf would probably be unable to understand her… but she had to ask.]]

[ammako]

[That she could explain! The wolf quickly got on her feet again and let that brush of hers do the work.

And after a few moments there were characters painted on the ground, saying "Amaterasu". Smart, isn't she?]

[goddessinthefog]

['Amaterasu'? But that would mean…]

Impossible…

You're his child.

[ammako]

[Have all her confusion. She's who's child? You don't seem very happy lady.]

[goddessinthefog]

To think I would meet Izanagi's child in a place like this.

…Tell me, why that form?

[She's shocked, certainly.]

[ammako]

[Added to that confused look is a just as confused whine.

Izanagi? She isn't speaking of that Nagi, is she?]

[goddessinthefog]

[[That was strange. For a moment, it looked to her like Amaterasu couldn't understand what she was saying… but that was impossible, wasn't it?]]

You are Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun, correct?

[ammako]

[She barks as if to tell her that she was right.]

[goddessinthefog]

Then Izanagi was the one who birthed you.

[[Have fun getting your head around that one, Amaterasu.]]

… I am Izanami. You may have heard of me.

[ammako]

[She shakes her head. Her past incarnation is Shiranui.

But Amaterasu looks surprised when the lady told her her name. Izanami? As in Nami? ... maybe just a coincidence.]

[goddessinthefog]

['No'? But this was far too much of a coincidence, wasn't it?

Tentatively, she held her hand out for Amaterasu to sniff. Although at this point she wasn't sure exactly how this would help resolve the confusion at hand.

If the wolf chose to take her up on the offer - the smell of death and decay is definitely coming from her.]

[ammako]

[It's just that different worlds thing at work... if her mun was right with that.

She did sniff on her hand when she was offered to, but whined. Yes, that bad smell comes from her, alright.]

[goddessinthefog]

How curious…

[The whining shouldn't have surprised her, really, and she moved her hand away.]

What did you expect from a Goddess of Death?

[ammako]

[So this was probably what felt kind of familiar to her. But she hadn't expected much, to be honest...]

[willtodefend]

[Well, now, there's another white furry face full of curiosity. This time it's directed at Amaterasu.]

Arf Arf!

[Muns are silly and should usually be doing other things. But look, a nice friendly Shiba friend for you! He's wagging his tail and everything!]

[ammako]

[There is a nod from her. Yes, there are things of greater importance they should be doing. Making new friends is always nice though!

Mind telling her something about you?]

[willtodefend]

Woof!

[He sits, letting his tail thump softly on the ground. I'm from Iwatodai. I protect the shrine there. He's a very loyal dog who keeps the shrine safe even after his master died.

He also helped save the world from evil monsters called shadows! But he won't start with that. He's a humble dog.]

[ammako]

[She barks in response. Really? That reminds me of the Canine Warriors who protect the Gale Shrine in Kusa village. Although four of them just left the shrine and didn't return unless fed... This guy seemed more responsible than that.

I'm Amaterasu.]

[willtodefend]

[He wags his tail happily. I've never heard of them but I am honored to be compared to a titled Warrior! Functionally the claim could be made that he is a warrior, considering the battles he fights to kill monsters and protect the people of Iwatodai. He uses a kunai and everything.

I'm Koromaru!]
