The Shrine is open: Zachary's visit

Thank you tilts head I’m assuming you’ve been enjoying yourself here for a bit

Oh, what makes you think so? I hardly can enjoy myself in such loneliness...

Really? I’m sure people visit your shrine at the least so you’ll never truly be alone

And in fact here's one visitor points at you So... will you come inside this time? Or are you again on the run?

Me? points at myself Well I guess I could stop by for a bit just to see what it’s about then my quest will continue

Ahh... I've finally lured you into the fox's lair giggles, showing you the way inside the Shrine Take a seat, please, you must be tired after all this demon hunting

chuckles a bit That didn’t sound very alluring but why not I take my seat within in the inner shrine looking around a bit

the room is covered in all sorts of luxury, there are paintings on the walls and a nice round wooden table in the center of the room, around it, some very soft pillows to use as a seat Can I get you something? Rice liquor, beer... or maybe something stronger

Uhh looks around at the paintings and classy environment reminding him of a castle I’ll just take some water wouldn’t want to be drunk on my adventures ya know?

Ohh, but you're here to rest a little, remember? Maybe you don't want to lose your focus around a sneaky fox like me, heh... she looks at you from head to toe Or maybe you're just too young to drink, but don't worry, your secret will be safe with me She winks at you, leaning closer

Hey you dolt I can drink! sighs I just see it as a waste of time is all not interested in hurling my guts out…he looks at you analyzing him not sure what you’re thinking before shaking his head Besides a sneaky fox is the least of my worries right now

And what would your worries be, dear Zachary? Her voice is but a tender whisper to your ear, she comes at you from behind and starts sliding her hands along your shoulders

his shoulders tense but he doesn’t move only eyeing the floor before taking a breath Nothing for you to worry about besides you wouldn’t believe me if I told you…some crazy stuff has happened in my short time here?

her lips get even closer to your ear, barely touching it as she keeps whispering And why wouldn't I believe you? I am here to please you, after all... to lend my ear to travelers, to lend... every, single, part of myself, to the cause I'm fighting for... just like you, dear Zach.

Hi all, can I ask a favour. I have played a game with Lesley who lost. Anyone who comes in can give her a task (including irl). No One has given her a task. Please can you pop in and give her one. 😍😍

Morning dear 🥰

N-nagu! jumps and stands still I... welcome!

he starts to show a noticeable change on his face as you get closer I see so that’s the type of person you are well let’s just say I’m fighting for my own cause and once I’m done I can finally be happy with myself again…at least that’s the plan he sighs again taking in another deep breath before relaxing again

(Hi Nagusa)

Then what about... I propose something to you... a little malicious smile appears on her lips as she leaves your ear and her hands start to gently caress your chest

And what would that be? holding your arms lightly wondering what your smirk is for

She smiles again, her eyes glow of a soft green shade. Your worries start to lightly fade away, and a nice feeling starts spreading from your chest, where her hands move, slow and gentle What if... just for tonight... we forget about everything? No demons to hunt, no people to please, nothing to demonstrate to anyone... just the two of us and this wonderful night just to spend together...

His body feels more relaxed as his chest releases its tension I…he contemplates in his head not entirely sure what to say just rethinking past scenarios in his head on what he should do I’m not sure…you seem like a kind spirit but I have a mission besides I don’t deserve such luxury…at least not yet he chuckles to himself as he places his hands on your shoulders looking directly into your eyes focused and attentive

It's not about deserving it... this opportunity presents to you, and you're willing to throw it away? Her mischievious smile turns quickly to a kind one, she looks into your eyes, reading deep into your fears, your worries, and she tenderly caresses your face, leaning even closer Don't deny your desires, Zach... don't hurt yourself more than you're already doing...

Meow=^･ω･^=

despite being the one to initiate the eye contact after hearing your words he quickly looks back to the floor i won’t deny this is certainly a unique opportunity…but do you really think it’s ok for someone like me to have this…or maybe I’m hurting myself for than I thought

her hand on your cheek moves to your chin and gently lifts it up so you can look again into her emerald eyes. I think that it's okay for you to enjoy something beautiful, you deserve the best, Zach... you're here... she takes your hand and brings it to her chest, you can feel her heart racing into her little ribcage i give you this special place for tonight...

As you lift his head to look back into your eyes he can't help but stare into their beauty as you place his hand on your heart ...why why be so kind to someone you've never met....I could be a terrible person for all you know he puts his other hand on your head lightly caressing your hair

She has learned from the best, after all 🥰

I can see through your heart... she whispers, getting closer and closer, only one breath between your lips now If you were so horrible, why are you so kind to me? How can you know that I don't hide a dark past? she closes her eyes, enjoying your headpat, but then moves again, closing the gap between your lips that finally meet in a soft kiss Your heart is pure, Zach. Let me take care of it for just one night she whispers, her lips still barely touching yours

he takes your words into consideration deep in his heart as he once again questions himself in his head before your soft kiss breaks his train of thought You really are a kind spirit sunny...too kind but...only for tonight I don't deserve anymore than that I lean back in to return the soft kiss you had given me staying there a bit longer than you did

She smiles kindly, her hand still on yours, as she closes her eyes once again as you kiss her, her soft lips moving slowly on yours in a pure dance. Once the kiss fades, though, her eyes return of their original golden color, and as her hand leaves your chest, you feel your usual discomfort coming back to haunt you If you'll ever need a place to hide, a place to feel safe, a place to rest your tired soul... know that I will be here, waiting for you to return. Every day, every night that passes, I will keep this desire into my heart.

the short but sweet kiss feels like a weight off his shoulders even if just for a moment before the discomfort returns I couldn't forgive myself if I ran away from something again...he lightly grasps your small frame pulling you into a hug hey I said only tonight...but if it would make you feel less lonely I'll stop by every once in a while a kind spirit like you deserves more happiness than most people...

She melts in your hug, her tail moving to wrap around both of you, brushing softly against your back. She nods her head, resting it on your chest for a little bit, enjyoing the warmth of your body It would make me more than happy... I devolved my life to the others, but nothing means to me more than seeing the faces of the ones I care for. And, from tonight, I care for you too, Zach. My doors will be always open for you, so please, feel free to come and stay as much as you like, I will always be here welcoming you and calming your troubled spirit.

He tenses up a bit completely forgetting about your tail too caught up in his own thoughts as you rest your head on him Well...when you put it like that I'll make sure to return if that is your wish he caresses your hair again as we continue hugging Such a kind kind person...I hope you also find a dream for yourself helping is great but neglecting yourself will also cause problems...im a uh prime example of that

her ears twitch lightly as you caress her hair, she smiles looking up at you There is a very specific reason behind that, my dear Zach. But it will be a secret until our next encounter... She giggles lightly, leaning in to kiss your cheek tenderly And if you don't take care of yourself, well, I will. I am here for this, I am here for you...

I chuckle to myself as I notice your ears twitch Don't worry I won't pry on secrets...he lightly grabs your chin leaning you into another light kiss before moving his hand from your head to your torso Don't worry about me everything will be taken care of soon...but thank you sunny I hate to admit but I really needed a second to collect myself in this shrine like place...it's nice

A soft shade of red spreads on her cheeks as you this time take the initiative to kiss her, she looks at you, surprised but happy I will always worry about you, dear Zach. And don't you worry, even if you won't need it in the future, the place will still be here for you to return. The wounds of mind are the hardest to heal, and this Shrine is here for that. So don't you dare coming here all covered in bood because it will scare me and I wouldn't be able to help! She giggles at the end, pulling you in another hug, her tail wagging behind her as she does so

Hmmm, hello everyone!

Hiya meow=^･ω･^=

you’re legs are open too sunny? You’re becoming quite lewd sweetie

(cough yeah that was the intention but it tuned out differently xD)

Hello meru! It's wonderful to see you! 🥰

Heya nagu so lovely to see you as well

he notices your slight change but doesn't mention it instead just holding you closer I agree...those are definitely the hardest to tend to...after seeing your tail wag he decides to caresses it a bit laughing a little Don't worry I have the decency to at least clean up after my battles before visiting friends

(cat,fox,and a demon hmm)

(Kitty meow uwu)

Oh, before I forget! she jumps a little as you touch her tail, blushing even more Eep! Eh-ehm... I was saying... I know a demon that you might want to slay. She's not a bad girl, but, you know, she's still a demon. She visited the other day and told me where she's gonna go hunt next time, if you're interested!

he has a light smirk on his face as he plays with your tail more before you peak his curiosity making him stop for a second hm? Is this some kind of bounty well regardless I can't have such creatures tainting your shrine just tell me where to find her and I'll take care of it

her tail wiggles around as she hides it behind herself covering a part of it with her hands U-uhm... if I remember correctly she said she was gonna search for prays at the Moonlit Moonshine, it was some days ago, if you go there you might as well find her! It's not so distant from here, if you've been to Nagusa's Shrine it's right next to it!

Well I guess I assumed there was only one so I've only been to your shrine...uh he taps his finger on his head thinking for a while Might need a map of that one sunny and just how many shrines are there more cute foxes*clears throat* I mean more people there like you as well?

Oh, wait right here! she disappears into another room and comes back right after with a map of the forest and the city in her hands I knew this piece of paper would've been useful one day! She puts the map on the table, to show you the location of the two shrines See? Here's my Shrine, the Sun Shrine. It is inside the forest. Right outside the forest, at the outskirts of the city, there's the Moon Shrine, which is Nagusa's Shrine. You can find Hana as well there. The Moonlit Moonshine is a tavern and it is... she point her finger on the map Right here! Next to the Moon Shrine.

Oh, i would love another visitor 🥰

he tilts his head at your sudden jump before returning with the map and showing off several locations he's never heard or been to before Well...I'll be damned who would've thought there was this many shrines out there he places his finger on the designated location and starts to scribble things in his notepad Got it I'll make sure to find her sunny and maybe I'll learn more about you curious foxes on the way

Oh, if you stop by the Moon Shrine you will sure learn more about us. But Nagusa's an old hag, don't you dare preferring her over me or I will hunt you down! She pouts before brusting into a laugh Alright, it's getting late. I think this is a goodbye for now? she looks up at you, wrapping her arms around you

he laughs again at your remark to nagusa even never meeting her before he allows you to wrap your arms around him and brings you into a deep hug Yeah yeah don't worry about that...but his eyes dart around the room before looking at you Thank you I needed a little break from the outside it was a pleasure becoming acquainted with your shrine

(HEY!!!)

(^^)

The pleasure was all mine! It's always nice to have guests, especially if they're as nice as you! she giggles again, getting on her tips to kiss your forehead Don't make me worry, be careful outside. I've heard there are bandits wandering among the woods. I'd ask you if you want to stay for the night, but... I guess now you have a job to do. She walks with you towards the entrance of the shrine, giving you another tight hug before waving with her hand, as you get far from the Shrine Bye Zach! See you soon!

(happy to set a time to play with you, zach!)

Don't worry it'll take more than some bandits to kill me thanks for the relaxing time sunny he smiles at your kiss as you take him to the entrance and he waves goodbye to you I'll come back once I find her farewell for now...

(sounds like a fun idea Nagusa now I've got another mission to complete ^^)

(check your dms ^^)

(bye for now!)

(I will close the room and publish the log so we can make this a continuous story)

(thanks everybody for coming!)
