In which Goro ALSO finds a thing.

[foolishjustice]

[Goro's phone is propped up against something on the greenhouse level, recording him holding a sack the size of a small backpack. The sack has bits of sand stuck to it, but Goro himself is clean...if still looking slightly windswept.]

I hope nobody here is afraid of bees? I found a hive while I was out testing something for Up, and I'm planning on setting it up in the greenhouse so we can at least have a little honey. If anyone here has any idea how to extract it without getting stung, that is...

[He puts the sack down on the floor, opening first, and lifts it up. Somehow, this results in an artificial beehive sitting where he had the bag, despite the former being far larger than the latter. The hive doors are closed, so the bees can't get out...yet.]

If nobody objects, I'll open it up later today.

It's a sort of magical being. It doesn't have a direct translation in Western languages, but the closest would be demon. It's still a little inaccurate, though, as Western cultures tend to use that word exclusively for evil creatures. Many yokai are simply mischievous, or even benevolent.

And, interesting is certainly one word for it. I don't complain too much about recent events, though, since I've met some wonderful people thanks to them.

Oh yeah we have daemons, I know what those are. Only the really, really bad kind though. I've never heard of them just playing, like, pranks, let alone HELPING anyone. They come out when it's dark and well. Kill everyone pretty much.

But you're right, I think I know what you mean. I've seen a lot of things and met a lot of people I wouldn't have otherwise, even though everything's been pretty awful for a long time now.

That sounds in line with the Western idea. That's why I don't consider the term a proper translation. Certainly there are some yokai that are actively malevolent, but it may be more accurate to compare them to stories of fae. Alien to humanity, certainly, and often capricious, but it would be a mistake to generalize about them.

Perhaps you could consider this a sort of break. Especially if Charm is correct and the Fissures return us to the same time we came from.

[Yeah, he just typed out all those periods.]

I don't like being here by myself, but I don't think I wanna go back to that exact second either. It wasn't my idea of a party.
