canon is Uchouten Kazoku

[crossformingraccoondog]

So you chose that username in the end? I think I like it, considering it says a lot about who I am.

I mean, crossforming is a pun on crossdressing and transforming, tight? And I'm a tanuki.

It all does make sense.

[ Nod nod. ]

YESSS so glad to see people rping from UK

[unyu]

Eeh? A tanuki?

[ The woman tilts her head one way and the other, looking at him curiously. It seems the hell raven youkai hasn't met one like him. ] Where's your tail, huh?

I wish there were more (I also need to make more icons)

[crossformingraccoondog]

Yup. Aah, though I guess nii-san won’t be too happy that I go talk about that o everybody? [ He taps his chin thoughtfully. ] Aaah, whatever.

I can hide it, since I’m a shape-shifter. [ He lets his tail appear, and turns to show it. ] See?

[unyu]

[ Whoa whoa whoa--- ] Aa--! There it is, your tail!

Why do you hide it, though?

[crossformingraccoondog]

Partly because Yaichirou-nii-san will get mad at me, and secondly because I don't want to get turned into tanuki-nabe.

[unyu]

[ Tanuki-nabe actually doesn't sound unpleasant to her but-- ]

You're living your whole life disguised as a human, then? That's horrible....!

[crossformingraccoondog]

[ That's nothing that he'd like to hear.... ]

Basically, but it's not like I can't choose my form freely.

[unyu]

[ Her wings flutter restlessly. She really can't imagine living her life without them. ] ...I did hear hat tanuki can transform into things.

S-so-- besides a human, what else?

[crossformingraccoondog]

Yes, it's a nice ability.

Hmm, I haven't really tried the limitations, but mostly anything, I think? Though if we stay for too long in one form, we might end up stuck.

[unyu]

[ S-scarrry-- ]

Does that mean you could transform into a dragon and be stuck like that forever?

[crossformingraccoondog]

If it's possible for us to turn into dragons, then it'd be fully possible, yes.

[unyu]

If you're a full dragon how do you know if you're still a tanuki--?!

[crossformingraccoondog]

Even if we're in the form of a dragon, we are still actually tanuki. No matter what happens, we will always be tanuki.

[unyu]

It still sounds confusing. [ Nodnod. ] I'm glad I'm not a tanuki.

[crossformingraccoondog]

I guess it can be sometimes. I'm glad to be a tanuki though.

[unyu]

You'd probably be safer as anything but in a human form or a tanuki, though!

[crossformingraccoondog]

Possibly, but I like switching through many shapes, and pretendign to be human is fun.

[unyu]

It... it is?

[ Most confused look ever. ]

[crossformingraccoondog]

Humans are interesting, and the easiest way to learn about them is to look like them.

[unyu]

You know, I keep on hearing that but I don't see why they are.

[crossformingraccoondog]

It think they're interesting because they do so many weird things, and make all those inventions.

Nee-san, are you a tengu?

[unyu]

[ Thinking of those inventions and... ] Hmmm, I guess I can see that.


Ah...? No, no! [ She's too literally bird-brained to be a tengu. ] I'm a Hell Raven! A Hell Raven-- don't confuse me with the likes of them!

[crossformingraccoondog]

Right? That makes them interesting.

O…kay…? There are mostly noting but tanuki and tengu in the city I’m from, so I’ve never met a Hell Raven before. [ And then he’ll be rude. ] What’s the difference?

[unyu]

[ --!! ] There's a difference! A huge difference! How could you even confuse us with them!

[ Too... Too offended to even properly answer now. ]

[crossformingraccoondog]

It's because I've never met a Hell Raven before. So I wanted to know the specific differences.

[unyu]

Tengu are.... they live on the surface! And they're annoying and get into everyone's business even when they're not wanted! They use smart words and gossip when they have nothing else to do.

[unyu]

Us Hell Ravens, though? We're much stronger than them! [ Not as fast in flight, though. ] We live in Hell and none of them are a match for us! They're so much worse at everything, too, from hunting to endurance to... to just everything, okay?

[ Bias? NAHH. ]

[crossformingraccoondog]

O...kay... I got it. [ He's gonna ask sensei as well, later on. See if he's biased as well. ]

[unyu]

The tengu I know tend to guard a mountain. [ Scoffs. ] As if they own the entire thing! I don't know how arrogant you have to be to think something like that.

[crossformingraccoondog]

Is that Kurama mountain? I know that many tengu lives at that mountain in my world.

[unyu]

Aah.... that one, too. They probably like to roost on a lot of mountains just because.

The ones I know like to stay on Youkai Mountain and call it theirs, when really it's Kanako-sama's.

[crossformingraccoondog]

There's a lot of power in mountains, I guess.

That's a mountain I haven't heard of before. Who's Kanako-sama?

[unyu]

Kanako is one of the gods in Gensokyo. She's driving the world towards the future and working to answer the wishes of the people there...! [ And Okuu here works for her, so. Yes. More bias. ] I help out.

[crossformingraccoondog]

I see. So she's an amazing person, then.

[unyu]

[ She nods. ] She is! Most gods don't care, you know? This one even granted me a power to help grant the wishes of those in the above ground!

[crossformingraccoondog]

I can't compare since I haven't met any gods, but she sure does sound like a nice person.

[unyu]

[ ...! ]

Aah, well-- you're talking to a god right now! [ She says this proudly, puffing out her chest. In the middle of her chest is a glowing red eye, and it flashes brightly. ] I... have a god inside of me.

[ She is quite possibly the least impressive god ever. ]

[crossformingraccoondog]

Really? Cool! [ She's also the only god he's met, then. ]

[unyu]

And Kanako? I only have the god inside me before of her-- she gave me him to eat!

[crossformingraccoondog]

You were supposed to eat a god?

[unyu]

Yes! And now I have him inside me. [ Okuu, your wording, please. ]

[crossformingraccoondog]

[ He's guessing it's not what it sounds like. ] That's ...interesting.
