((You are a simple citizen of KyĹŤto. It is the year 1868, and just a month ago, news of Sakamoto Ryouma's death shocked the nation. The unnatural state his carcass was found in, struck fear in those who saw it with their own eyes. Some rumours say they were not able to sleep for weeks. You just ran out of firewood for your house, and since you had an axe, you decided to go and chop some wood yourself instead of buying it from a local woodcutter. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until you got a weird sense of dread that caused sweat to drench your back. Your skin crawled as if a primal, instinctive fear took hold of your body. You dropped the axe on the ground and started escaping as if your life depended on it. While you couldn't know for sure, your life did depend on it. You ran fast, but my presence was always there. When, after running straight for ten minutes, you saw your axe on the ground, you knew you were in trouble. Then you heard the sound of crunched leaves on the ground, which caused you to turn around.))
Elaine smiles wildly, letting her sharp teeth show. Her pale skin only makes her appear more eerie. You can't be sure if the tips of her fingers are naturally red or if those are the remains of her previous victims. She hums quietly, but it is always just a bit out of tune. She looks as if she is a fox, finally approaching the little mouse that keeps escaping her. She speaks in an overly sweet voice that is supposed to lull you into calmness. — Oh, did a weary traveller get lost in my woods? And look at that; it's already starting to get dark. I will happily let you rest in my house. I am a humble fox spirit, so you can trust me. After all, a little morsel like you should not be wandering around so late. Some more cruel Youkai could get to you. She grabs your arm and starts leading you to her home. She can't help but think to herself that she fooled you rather easily. And soon the reward will be ready for her to pluck. Her tails sway happily at the thought and her ears stand tall in alert.
