"Carotae et circenses" (Anzeigen)Es ist schön in Inaba! So viel zu entdecken, so viele schöne Plätze zum Spielen! Die Menschen hier sind lustig, auch wenn ich sie nicht recht verstehe: Viele von ihnen machen sich Sorgen um das, was übermorgen sein wird – und dabei könnten sie heute so viel Spaß haben... Manchmal muss man ihnen einfach zeigen, wie man spielt und sich freut. Am besten können das noch ihre Kinder, doch je älter sie werden, desto mehr scheinen sie es zu verlernen. Soooo schade..!
Ich hoffe nur, ich verlerne das Spielen nicht auch irgendwann. Denn noch bin ich ja klein. Es ist wundervoll, klein zu sein! Alle haben mich lieb und streicheln mich gern. Na ja, fast alle... Gelegentlich begegne ich solchen, die böse sind und gemein. So wie die Hunde, die mich gern jagen. Sie machen mir Angst – wenn sie nur so spielen können, finde ich ihre Spiele nicht schön!
Zum Glück habe ich Takeo kennengelernt. Er ist auch ein Hund, aber einer, der auch ein Mensch sein kann, so wie ich. Takeo ist nett, er beschützt mich, wenn mir jemand Angst macht. Er kann nämlich anderen Leuten noch viiiiel mehr Angst machen! Doch zu mir ist er immer lieb. Dafür erzähle ich ihm alles, was ich so erlebe. Ich glaube, er möchte auch gern ein glückliches Kaninchen sein... wer würde das auch nicht wollen?
Es gibt nämlich nichts besseres, als ein Kaninchen zu sein! Niemand hat so viele Freunde wie wir oder weiß so gut, wie man Spaß hat. Natürlich gibt es andere, die auch viel wissen. So wie die Füchsin Kitsuko. Sie wohnt in einem Schrein, wo ich auch meinen Bau graben durfte. Das ist herrlich, denn viele Menschen kommen mit ihren Kindern zu dem Schrein, und mit Kindern spiele ich am liebsten!
Sie ist auch sehr weise, Kitsuko, meine ich. Sie weiß schrecklich viele Dinge! Aber ich beneide sie nicht. Es muss doch furchtbar langweilig sein, all das im Kopf zu behalten, statt sich zu freuen und im Gras umher zu tollen! Ab und zu gelingt es mir ja, sie ein bisschen zu schubsen, damit sie auch mitspielt, statt immer so furchtbar ernst zu sein. Dann mag ich sie am allerliebsten!
Tja, und dann gibt es da noch Piri, das Kätzchen, und Fujinuki. Beide sind wahnsinnig flauschig und sehr nett! Ich spiele gern mit ihnen. Und in Nuki-kuns Fell schläft es sich herrlich..!
Ihr seht also, ich habe viele gute Freunde hier, und deshalb will ich nie, nie, nie aus Inaba fort!

An old tradition (Anzeigen)The little shrine for the kitsune was at the outskirts of Inaba as long as anybody can remember. Its hidden in a little, but old wood. It's always in good shape and sometimes one can even see a fox near it. Old folk make little donations to avoid getting caught in pranks or mischief, adults visit to pray for luck, guidance or just as tradition, young ones come to play. Often there are other children or docile animals.
A not well known and not believed by everyone one can pray and make an offering for success in getting closer to a loved one. At least, if you get a charm from there.
Once in a while a very young miko, a child even, takes care of the shrine and the visitors. Reserved and with good manners her speech, cloths and customs are out of place, but she also is very knowledgeable. Some of the old folk aren't sure, if she might even be the same every time, but who would question something in connection with the fox? Most people tend to believe that there is a family or order, which send their apprentices over for the small tasks that are to be done here.
The miko and the adult (Anzeigen)Several years ago a middle-aged woman visited the fox-shrine. She was in a terrible mood and didn't know how to go on. The miko tried to get a talk with her, but she avoided her, as if she reminds her of something very sad. So the woman left and the miko didn't know how to help. She followed her and asked others about her. After she got the picture, she tried to send her pleasant dreams, but it only avoided the worst and only for a while. The miko was devastated in her helplessness. Back at her shrine she wanted to ask her friends for advice, but found a young dog cub. First she liked the thought to help him finding his ways in the community, but then another idea struck her: The woman needed something to do and to love. Maybe this was the answer for the prayers. The miko took the cub and brought him to the woman. It worked and the woman got better while the cub became a stout teenager. She also became more susceptible to the dreams.
Later the dog and the fox-miko became friends. They talked to each other and while the miko explained a lot, the dog took care of things in the community. One time the miko got into trouble because she looked like a child. Some adults, especially the director of the school and the policeman worried about this child without any adult around and not going to school. Nobody even could explain to them, where she lives beside the shrine. They came to her and tried to reason with her, but she refused. Her odd and old manners and speech made it even worse, they weren't sure if she was raised properly. Then a teenager, nearly resembling a young adult came and declared, that he is taking care of her together with his family. It took the adults a while to accept it, but at least the teenagers words were understandable and he looked serious and dependable. They backed down and left without the child-miko. She thanked her new-found guardian for the help.
The fox and the hare (Anzeigen)A little girl had met a group of friends and played with them. When they talked about seeing each other again the next day, they mentioned a gorgeous playground between a group of trees in the outskirts of Inaba. When she followed them there, they entered the little, but thick forest. It was a nice change, but in its mayestic way a bit frightening. But the girl had her friends with her, so she entered, too. After a short while, they reached a little shrine, dedicated to the foxes. There was enough room for a lot of games and they even had some peaceful animals to play with. Once or twice some adults came and prayed, so they didn't disturb them. Then a delivery man came with tons of fresh food. He gave it all to the children and animals without wanting anything in return. Instead, he held one soup back and circled around the shrine. The little girl got curious and followed. She saw that he gave it to a child-miko while getting the money for all the food in return. After he left she approached the lonely girl. She behaved strange and aloof, but had a caring heart. So the little girl get to know her beside all the troubles they had like misunderstandings and such. The hare was invited by the fox to visit the shrine often and get to be cared. The little girl agreed and brought a lot of fun with her. After a while even the miko-girl was swayed to participate in the games or visit the town with her.
A liar and a temptress (Anzeigen)Foreign tourists are a rare species seen in Inaba and especially when it comes to visit the shrine. And this one time was memorable. Somewhere around midday this young family of four found the shrine by accident. They found it a pleasant surprise. "Ein alter Tempel, nicht mehr genutzt und extra für Gäste hergerichtet, wie schön", expressed the mother and the father agreed. They read the emas and commented: "Wie authentisch!", while the children ran around and checked every nook and cranny. The boy nearly toppled one of the statues. "Vorsicht, nicht das du dich verletzt!", his mother warned him. "Oh, schau mal, eine Cosplayerin!", the father exclaimed as the child-miko emerged. "Verstehst du, was sie sagt?" "Nein, ihr japanisch klingt seltsam, nicht dass ich es könnte.", laughed he. It wasn't easy for the fox-miko to hold her composure while they ignored her welcoming words and her warnings. As the boy began to touch her, she shuddered. Then the girl found the offerings: "Mama, Papa, sie haben originales Essen hier! Mmh - Lecker!" "Das ist wirklich nett." "Danke.", they told the girl-miko while taking parts of the food. She tried to be calm and patient, but they didn't stop. "Hey Papa, mach ein Photo von uns!", the boy shouted and embraced the fox-miko. She tried to talk, but then the father agreed and the flashes didn't stop. She began to struggle, but the boy only thought it funny. as they left, the miko was devastated and ran away.
Now a tanuki came, tempted by the smell of food. He ate until an angry fox appeared and yelled. But its eyes were swollen. First the tanuki defended himself, then he got, that the real problem was elsewhere. So he switched to his silly moves and consoled the fox. Henceforth, he visited her often, since there was always something to eat there, and some fun with other friends. Still, the temptation of the food offerings was there and if he followed, the bickering started.
VBRs - Very best rivals (Anzeigen)The fox and the wolf have known each other for a long time. The wolf cub had lost its way and had suddenly found herself among lots of creepy noises and bad smells. She ran here and there and at last found a little wood and the shrine inside it. There the little fox-miko gave her some food and showed her a hiding place for the rest of the day. The wolf wasn't sure if it could trust her, but it couldn't refuse help. At night, the fox showed it a way back home. Later, it visited once in a while and learned how to interact with humans (at least a little). It grew into a wild teenage girl, adapted more to the modern ways of the humans and began to argue with the little human girl from the shrine: Who is the better protector of the village, who knows the ways of the land and so on? Whenever they meet, it turns into a competition between them. But they don't want to miss it and they don't like it when others try to interfere.
Moro`s human form is a rebellious teenage girl, behaving and clothing like a punk.

Verlorenes Kätzchen (Anzeigen)Piri war das kleinste und schwächste Kätzchen in ihrem Wurf. Obwohl sie energisch und verspielt war, konnte sie mit ihren drei Geschwistern oft nicht mithalten. Und irgendwann im Herbst passierte es - sie stand plötzlich alleine mitten im Wald da, nachdem ihre Mutter und Wurfgeschwister weitergezogen waren, ohne ihr Fehlen zu bemerken. Piri irrte umher und miaute laut, bis sie keine Kraft mehr hatte, doch die Spur ihrer Familie fand sie nicht.
Nach zwei Tagen, in denen Piri kaum mehr als einen Käfer zwischen die Zähne bekommen hatte, war sie völlig geschafft und verzweifelt. Aber ihr Weg hatte sie an einen seltsamen Ort geführt, der ganz anders aussah, als der Wald drumherum. Und sie war dort nicht alleine - eine Füchsin saß dort und beobachtete das Kätzchen. Zunächst bekam Piri Angst vor dem großen roten Tier, doch die Füchsin wollte ihr wohl nichts Böses. Ganz im Gegenteil, sie brachte dem hungrigen Katzenkind eine Maus und beruhigte es.
Tag für Tag lernte Piri der Füchsin, Kitsuko, zu vertrauen, und freundete sich mit ihr an. Und wie es sich herausstellte, hatte Kitsuko noch weitere Freunde, die sie am Schrein besuchten - die Häsin Arisu, den Hund Takeo und den Marderhund Fujinuki. Auch wenn Piri ihre Mutter und Geschwister vermisste, fand sie in den drei Henge so etwas wie eine neue Familie, und nachdem sie wieder zu Kräften gekommen war, begann sie, die Gegend zu erkunden.
Die größte und spannendste Entdeckung war für das Kätzchen die nahe Kleinstadt Inaba. Dieser Ort, und die dort lebenden Menschen, waren so sehr anders als der Wald, aber auch so interessant! Und Piri wusste bereits, dass sie besondere Kräfte besaß.
Als süßes Kätzchen oder freche Grundschülerin verbrachte Piri zunehmend mehr Zeit in Inaba, ließ sich von Menschen verwöhnen, kam aber immer wieder zum Schrein zurück, denn noch hatte sie keine festen Bande mit den Zweibeinern geknüpft...
Name: Fujinuki (Nuki-kun)
True Form: Raccoon Dog/Tanuki
Human Form: A 12 year old Japanese boy with wild, black hair and soft black eyes. He is a little pudgy and normally tall for a boy his age.
He wears a pair of short dungarees, a common, dirty, white shirt and a wide-brimmed strawhat. He runs around barefood.
Age: 2 years
Powers: (Anzeigen)- Money (2): You can make leaves, acorns, and so on appear to be money. It only works in the evening or at night, and the “money” will turn back into leaves and such at dawn.
- Bogey (8): You can change into a monstrous form to scare humans. People and henge who see you like this will be Surprised. When you use this power, you get a special +1 bonus to Henge for causing Surprise. You can decide what kind of monster you turn into.
- Become Anything (8): You can turn into a tool or a natural object, such as a teapot or a stone. Also, if you change back suddenly you may be able to Surprise people. If you pay double the cost (16 points), you can become something big enough to hold several people, like a car or a shack. However, this power does not let you become liquid, gas, flame, or living things.
- Copy (10) : You can change into a copy of a person you know. You can’t change into someone you don’t know. Also, once you’ve changed, if you talk to someone who knows the person you’re copying, you have to beat their Adult attribute (or the strength of their connection to that person) with a Henge check, or they’ll realize you’re a fake.
- Tanuki Drumming (12): You can call your other raccoon dog friends and have everyone drum on their bellies together. This can only be used in the evening or at night. People appearing in the scene who hear the drumming sound have their Adult attribute go down to zero, and electronics and other civilized devices stop working. This effect lasts until the scene ends.
- Dream Vision (16): You can surround someone with illusions and enchant their senses. One person is completely ensnared by these illusions, and they’ll believe they’re in a completely different place. Other people can, of course, see reality, but the victim has to beat your Henge attribute with their Henge or Adult attributes to break through the illusion. This power lasts until you cancel it or the scene ends.
- Stomach Worm (8): When your stomach is empty, you can make it emit a soothing rumbling sound. When finishing one scene without eating anything, you can use this power during the next scene. If anyone present has a Protection, Affection, or Family connection to you, you can increase their connection to you by 1 (to a maximum of 4).
- Tanuki Dance (12): You can do an odd dance for the enjoyment of others. People who see you dance must make an Adult check of 4 or higher, or they’ll drop whatever they were planning to do and burst into laughter. Everyone who laughs in this way gains 3 Dreams.
Weakness (Anzeigen)- Carried Away: You get easily carried away when people flatter you. You have to attempt to make checks, even if they’re difficult, and even if you know you’ll fail (for example, even if your participation isn’t necessary).
- Glutton: You love to eat, and if you don’t get a proper meal, you can barely move. Furthermore, if there’s food in front of you, you have to stop and eat until you’re full or the food is all gone, even if you have other things to do.

Memories: 9
Prelude: (Anzeigen) Fujinuki remembers little of the village he was born in. He and his extendet famlily of uncles, aunts, cousins, siblings and such, not to forget his parents, left there old home as he was only half a year old. It was told to him, the humans had kind of invaded there territory. They came with machines even bigger then they were and tore up the land and build there unusual living-caves. And as the tanuki are not of the violent kind his familiy sought out a new living space, settling at the outskirts of Inaba.
Here he now peacefully lived for one and a half year. Fujinuki and his familiy are a little concernd about the new cave the humans are building, but it is not near there homes and so they just watch and wait. Nontheless there is debatte in the clan what should be done, when the big ones will encrouch anew on there habitat.
Fujinuki does not care much about this political things. He has found some nice other Henge he likes to hang out with, as there are:
- Arisu....
- Piri....
- Kitsuko: As Fujinuki was wandering around the little new village he came to, he encountered a nice little shrine, nearly hidden in a small wood. Curiously he watched from afar the humans who visited this special place and saw a little child taking some of the offerings. That made the miko of the temple quiet angry, but as she was also only a little girl the tourists didn´t take her serious. They just walked away laughing about the queer little shrine and her child-guaridan.
The young miko was also disappearing and so Fujinuki walked closer to the temple. He looked around for the girl but could only see a fox that seemed irate and upset as it sat in the high grass surounding the shrine.
Allways hungry Fujinuki smelled the food that was part of the offerings and so he came closer and closer, forgetting all caution. He snatched a taiyaki from the offerings and began nibbling at it savoring the taste. Suddenly the fox stood behind him and started to yell at him. He hadn´t encountered other tenge befor, only heard of them from his parents, and was really shocked. As the fox-tenge berated him about stealing the gifts for the gods he felt ashamed, but couldn´t stop eating as the cake tasted so good.
Fujinuki realised that the fox must be the little miko he just saw with the humans and in a desperate move to cheer her up, the tanuki began the traditional dance that mostly allways got people to laugh and get jolly. And it did the trick. The fox started laughing as the little raccoon dog awkwardly made the steps of the dance.
And the ice was broken, as the saying goes.
Fujinuki apologized to the temple guardian but had eaten the whole taiyaki while dancing.
But nontheless Kitsuko, as the name of the kitsune was, forgave him and they became kind of friends.
But still from time to time Fujinuki takes some of the food-offerings, as he really likes to eat.
