[PM has been doing her best to avoid everyone this week. Her own looks and behavior scare her, and the last thing she has the patience for is discussion about her strange winged canid appearance.]

[But as experienced as she is with starving, she must eat something, and meat sounds so much more delicious than usual. So she's braved going outside for the hunt. And now, a goose in one hand, she's trying to hurry back to the necessities as quickly as possible.]

[[OOC: Sorry that this is kind of last-minute! I've been swamped elsewhere.]]

[action] Haha, it's okay!

[promoted_pawn]

[She stops short. She had at least been hoping no one would recognize her in this monstrous form. Then again, there really aren't that many people with carapace around here, dog heads or wings or missing arms aside.]

...Yukari.

[There are only so many all white people here]

Don't tell me you went near the cave.

[promoted_pawn]

[There is that, too. PM glances to the side, her ears folding slightly.]

I hadn't meant any harm, but I suppose my intent meant little.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Of course it doesn't. From my experience, such beings care little for intent, only results.

I confess you don't look that bad though.

[promoted_pawn]

"That bad"? [PM snorts, shifting uncomfortably in place.]

I don't care for it, I'm afraid.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Are you just more of a cat person?

[promoted_pawn]

I have nothing against Earth dogs or cats. But my reasons are really none of your business.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Don't tell me you're being affected mentally now.

[promoted_pawn]

[She opens her mouth to speak, then closes it and turns her head away.]

I'm hungry.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

I'll leave you to your meal then.

[promoted_pawn]

[PM takes a few steps to pass Yukari, but slows to a hesitant stop.]

...I have been ignoring the Vine as much as possible. Is everyone alright?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

No-one died.

Some have been injured.

[promoted_pawn]

Oh. [She looks down at the goose and squeezes its neck in her claw.]

And you are unaffected.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

It's a bit odd, isn't it?

Maybe because some would think I'm already a kind of monster.

[promoted_pawn]

[PM tilts her head slightly and squints her good eye, which probably looks a little funnier for the canid features.]

...but you look like a normal human woman. Unless you have a strange, creepy hidden hero powers, like Miss All Sunday's hands.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

They're not exactly hero powers.

I am a type of supernatural entity known in my native language as a youkai.

[promoted_pawn]

Oh. You aren't a human? I'm sorry. I didn't know.

[She shakes her head, staring down at the goose.] Where I come from, only our legendary heroes and our royalty can use what you call "supernatural" powers.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

To be honest, it's not something I advertise here, since some people react poorly to non-humans.

That sounds like something out of a legend.

[promoted_pawn]

I think can I understand... [Something she is pretty painfully aware of, at moments.] As long as I did not offend you.

Yes. But it is a legend with truth behind it.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

Almost all legends have that.

[promoted_pawn]

[She looks down at the goose again, and then back to Yukari. Talking like this makes her almost feel normal, despite the growling in her belly. PM sits down.] What are some human legends? ... sorry, youkai legends.

[She begins hastilyi plucking the dead bird's wing, apparently intent on eating it right there and then as a snack.]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

[This doesn't bother her.]

Youkai legends are human legends.

[promoted_pawn]

Oh. [She rips off a bit from the wing and chews on it.]

That's good, then. It keeps things simple.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

We are the supernatural beings that have mysterious powers and our own strange agendas.

In the legends, of course.
