[Game 158]

You find yourself in a traditional Japanese room (the floor is made of tatami and two of the walls are made of shoji-- you get the picture). It smells a bit musty, like it hasn't been used in a while, but everything is strangely dust-free. There's a small old-fashioned TV in one corner, and against a different wall is a set of crooked shelves filled with knickknacks.

There is a small table in the center of the room. Pillows to sit on in your team color surround it, and several items rest on top of it. One is a softly-glowing square lantern with flowers delicately painted on the outside in your team color. It provides enough light to illuminate the room while still casting some eerie shadows. On either side of the lantern are two boxes. One is about the size of a large shoebox and made of colorful washi paper. The other is a large plastic craft bin.

Next to the boxes is a sheet of printer paper with instructions printed out on it.

[:? doesn't question it, though]

I don't mind. And anything else you want to add to it.

[Fetching the bottle~]

We could use the glitter stuff on a piece of yarn and make a pretty bow for him to wear.

[filling it with rice! though leaving some room for the bottle and heart.]

A bow . . . I suppose it could suit him.

Can Regal make one? It has to be really big! With huge loops!

I don't mind, but... You're not able to make it yourself?

Oh. Tiger's Eye didn't tell you? This is just an illusion I can use sometimes. I'm a wolf. Yuki made me something that helps me water the plants in the greenhouse, but it doesn't work for everything.

[ . . . THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL TO KNOW . . . ]

A -- wolf? --They didn't mention that, no. Sorry, I wouldn't have suggested those things if I'd have known...

It's okay. I try to help as much as I can. There's just some things I'm not as good at.

[. . .

. . . how do you do this again . . . um

LIGHT... HAIR... RUFFLE...?? though he looks a little embarrassed]

I really don't mind. Your suggestions have been a lot of help; I wouldn't have thought of any of them myself.

[which is pretty true.]

[You feel fur. And now, you also see a puppy wolf. Who looks a bit surprised at the sudden touching.]

[. . . DID NOT EXPECT THAT

though in retrospect he should've because kitsunebi literally did just say it was an illusion. p-pulling his hand away?? did i ruin it???]

--Sorry about that...!

Oh, it's okay. D-Don't worry. I'm still getting used to it... I like being petted though.

You're really fine with it--?

Mm. It takes a little bit to figure out how to do it again, but that's good practice too, right?

Ah... That's true. Did you only learn how to recently . . . ?

I just got the skill back before the heart games.

Is that a specific subset of games . . .?

Mm. Dream holds them. They can be really dangerous though since they let you change things about people, for good or bad.

[more dangerous games, is it.]

... I see. I'll be careful, then, if I end up in one.

[and by now he's probably finished with as much of the bear as they agreed on!! including a cute bow with huge loops around its neck]
