You’re a messenger of one of the many Japanese gods, you wander while not carrying much other than a few offerings for shrines, and wearing a kimono with a hood

You come across a shrine, place an offering down and then you hear a voice

?:A visitor? This deep in the forest and at this time of day?

You turn your head and see a hooded figure staring at you, his tongue flicker like a snake

Orochi:I am Orochi, priest, and caretaker of this shrine.
