[ at dusk nearby the apartments tonight, there is a small stall, lit up by lanterns outside an in behind the curtains covering the inside. a delicious smell comes off of it, and the coast seems to be clear around the stall. as the sun sets further, the light inside illuminates the shape of a small person... or creature, judging by the tall ears on top of its head.

care to take a peek inside? ]

Of course! Big sister is good cook.

[wearefriends]

You really are! [She smiles.] You must get a lot of customers.

[jigoku_onryo]

Not so much any more.

[wearefriends]

Oh...?

[It strikes her.]

Did you come here before all of this happened?

[jigoku_onryo]

Hmm? Big sister's always been here.

[wearefriends]

I see... so you remember this place before everyone turned into ghosts?

[jigoku_onryo]

Yes yes, of course. Big sister has a good memory.

[wearefriends]

Ooh... [She eats some more of her udon, struggling to be dainty and ladylike when she just wants to stuff her mouth. It was so good!] Could you tell me about it, maybe?

[jigoku_onryo]

Which part? Many parts.

[wearefriends]

What were the people like?

[jigoku_onryo]

People. Did things, ate things.

[wearefriends]

[Wrong tack to take, then. She eats more of her delicious udon bowl and thinks about how to continue.]

Hmm...

[jigoku_onryo]

[ humming an old song. ]

[wearefriends]

[She stirs her broth.]

What did the people do for you when they were still around?

[jigoku_onryo]

Ones who could see bought udon.

[wearefriends]

Ah, well I can't blame them!

[jigoku_onryo]

Keke. Good girl good girl.

[wearefriends]

[She eats in silence for a little while.]

So... you're a fox spirit and you live here.

Do you have anything to do with the shrine nearby?

[jigoku_onryo]

Maybe. Set up shop there sometimes.

[wearefriends]

It's rather worn down. Do you still sell things there?

[jigoku_onryo]

Some spirits come.

[wearefriends]

... Can you contact me next time that you set up shop there? I'd like to see some.

[jigoku_onryo]

No way of talking. [ she tilts her head, ear twitching as she folds her paws across her chest. ]

Probably not safe.

[wearefriends]

Oh. [Her shoulders slump.]

Well, maybe I can find another way to meet you there.

[jigoku_onryo]

Hire escort. Many cute boys around.
