[ACTION]

*So perhaps you're grocery shopping. Everybody's gotta do it, right? And then enters one of the strangest women you've ever seen. It's not the long robe that necessarily does it, or even the strange two-pronged hat she wears. No, it's those nine fluffy tails sticking out of her behind. Maybe she's some sort of weird cosplayer or something?

She'll approach the clerk of the store and bow deeply.*

Good afternoon. My name is Ran. I would like to deeply apologize for the inconvenience to your store a while back. It seems I had forgotten my manners in addition to everything else. By all means, please accept this payment to compensate for your lost merchandise. If that is not sufficient, perhaps I may be able to work off my debt? I do deeply regret what I did.

*And then she'll hand over some money. Wait, what SHE did?*

[ACTION 2]

*Alternatively, perhaps you're finally hearing puttering about in that room that had supposedly been for some new resident. Maybe you'd seen a fox outside of it, even. But it sounds like whoever lives there has finally moved in properly. Perhaps you'd like to say hello.*

((OOC: 1% on remembering, oh right, everybody's supposed to be a humanoid girl in Gensokyo.))

I do bet your pardon. We have met, but I think you might have met me in a slightly more... "vulpes" form. I believe that is the Latin for it?

[And now he remembers.]

...ah. You were the fox.

So you do remember! Yes, I'm afraid the shock of my arrival here meant I could not take on this form. I do apologize for any confusion.

It's all right.

[People who can turn into foxes. Now he's just really confused.]

I'm afraid I haven't introduced myself yet. Barnaby Brooks Junior.

I am Ran. Just... Ran, it seems. I feel as though there should be more to that name, but...

*She shakes her head.*

It is not important. It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Brooks.

It'll come back with time. It's how I remembered.

A pleasure to meet you as well, Miss Ran.

I can only hope. I know this much; I have very, very many memories to accumulate, if the count of my tails is to be believed.

...oh.

[The tails again. Suddenly he feels a little out of his element here. He's researched a lot on Ouroboros, but he has no idea about kitsunes.]

Don't feel so small. I am working towards the same goal as everybody else. That makes us equals in that regard.
