[bathhouse-pet]

Ren travels to the spirit world. Being a demon fox beast-kin, he took pride in the bath house's reputation and had plenty of money to be able to afford all the services the bath house had to offer. He mostly wore a grey hoodie with black pants. It was not often he got to visit the spirit world, but he sometimes enjoyed getting away from reality. (massivemuseverse)

The wind gently blows through the many trees leading up towards the bathhouse, their spring-green leaves almost glowing in the soft sunlight of the early afternoon. As usual, the bathhouse is bustling with customers of all kinds: countless yokai and other spirits wander about and converse with each other, not even noticing as Ren slips past them.

[bathhouse-pet]

“Alright, just sit tight for now.”

With that, the frog turns to answer a duck-like spirit waiting behind Ren, his job with the human figure done for the time being.

[massivemuseverse]

Ren nods calmly and sits down to relax, watching the other spirits, his tail swishing idly. He wore a muscle shirt because then he could get changed when his turn comes.

[bathhouse-pet]

“A-Ah...?”

Kaonashi tilts his head as he watches Ren rest, unsure if he should approach; he doesn’t want to seem rude or off-putting like last time, but he is curious about Ren...

He’s stuck in his decision.

[massivemuseverse]

Although he liked meeting new people, he still was careful because there could be dangerous spirits. He approaches the counter and speaks to the attendant. 

“Excuse me, do you know where I can changed and how to get a bath? I’m a new individual here and I don’t know how things around here work.” he says, his ears flickering a bit.

[bathhouse-pet]

The attendant - a small, frog-like creature donning a simplistic, blue yukata - hops in his tall stool in friendly ardor towards his customer.

“Hello! The changing rooms are to the left. Though, I think the baths are all full now… you may have to reserve one and wait a bit.”

[massivemuseverse]

“Thank you for the help, I can wait my turn. I’m not really in any particular rush…” he says. “So when my bath is ready, do I come here and pay for my token?” he asks. “How do I reserve my bath?” Ren knew about the bath tokens because he had overheard staff talking about bath tokens for the bath.

[bathhouse-pet]

“That’s exactly what you do! Just look over our map of the bathhouse and pick which room you want.”

The frog pushes over an intricately designed layout of the bathhouse’s interior, complete with calligraphy writing that labels each and every spot of the expansive building - how anyone was able to successfully draft this out in one take (and all in ink, no less) is enough to leave someone flabbergasted.

[massivemuseverse]

“How am I supposed to remember all this?” he asks shocked at the map. Trying to decipher some of the calligraphy. This being his first time, it was leaving him rather confused and the frog attendant could clearly see it on his face.

[bathhouse-pet]

“Oh, first time here? Sorry about that, got ahead of myself-”

A loud CRASH up ahead signifies some sort of commotion, and is followed by a low rumbling that makes the ground shiver as a massive creature, black as night, comes charging through the halls with something in its jaws, a vulpine spirit giving chase.

“THIEF! GIVE THAT BACK!”

[massivemuseverse]

“What the-? What in the world is going on there?” Ren looks at the big creature in shock, a bit paralyzed in fear. “What is that big thing?”

[bathhouse-pet]

“Oh, that…”

The spirit is quick to toss its catch up - a carp as big as a person’s torso - and swallow it whole before the kitsune can snatch it back, much to the foxe’s dismay.

“That’s Kaonashi. He’s… he’s kind of the bathhouse’s, uh, pet?”

There’s a hint of disdain in the frog’s voice; he knows what happened years before, and he does not want to be the next unlucky amphibian to be gobbled up.

[massivemuseverse]

“The bathhouse has a pet like that?” he asks while waiting….”Well at least he doesn’t digest spirits right?”

[bathhouse-pet]

“Well…”

Just as the kitsune raises his arms to sling a punch, Kaonashi clamps his jaws down onto the spirit’s limbs and refuses to let go, and the vulpine gives a yelp of pain.

“About that-”

[massivemuseverse]

“And I thought I had issues…What the heck did that vulpine guy steal anyway?” he asks, tilting his head.

[bathhouse-pet]

“Oh, he didn’t steal - Kaonashi stole his prized carp dinner before it could be served.”

Eventually, the kitsune is freed, and he’s quick to run off while holding his bruised arms in pain, tails between his legs and whimpering. On the other hand, Kaonashi gives a tired huff before lying down, watching the newcomer curiously…

[massivemuseverse]

“I guess he likes Carp that much.” Ren says with a weak chuckle, folding his arms a bit as he calmly waits. “So how do I reserve a bath here? It’s my first time in this place…”

[bathhouse-pet]

“Well, you just ask to reserve one of the rooms, and we’ll make sure nobody else gets to it before you do!”

The frog glances at Kaonashi waringly - why does he keep watching them? Surely he doesn’t want something, right?

[massivemuseverse]

Ren looks at the map. “Could I reserve one of the baths in this room?” he asks pointing to one of the rooms, his tail swishing. He was not too comfortable with being watched by that big guy especially after seeing what he did to the smaller vulpine. “Do I pay upfront?”

[bathhouse-pet]

“If you want, it definitely makes things easier if we know you’ll pay before getting service.”

Kaonashi tilts his head, tail swishing about in a manner similar to Ren’s as he observes, wondering what kind of spirit the guest is - another kitsune? Some kind of yokai taking a human form?

… Do hybrids between humans and spirits exist?

[massivemuseverse]

He nods and places a bag of gold on the attendant’s desk. Ren was fully intent on paying for his bath. Ren tilts his head as his tail swishes. “That Kaonashi is making me feel a little uneasy since he is staring.”

[bathhouse-pet]

“He’s normally harmless, just don’t try to hurt him and you should be-”

During the last few moments of the conversation, Kaonashi had somehow managed to silently sneak up towards the two of them without notice, and now sits on his haunches, tilting his head at Ren.

“… Okay.”

[massivemuseverse]

His ears perk up. Perhaps the spirit forgot that Foxes have keen senses. “Excuse me Kaonashi, can you please give me some space?”

[bathhouse-pet]

“A-Ah…”

It’s the first time Ren has heard the spirit speak; his voice is quiet and meek, with a slight tremble at the end. He was so interested in the newcomer, that he forgot basic manners - how rude of him!

Kaonashi returns to his resting spot, lying down with a sigh.

[massivemuseverse]

Ren then looks back at the attendant. “Sorry about that…So are you able to reserve the bath for me?” he asks.

[bathhouse-pet]

“We got it all set! Just wait around here until it’s open, and we’ll make sure you know when it’s all ready for you!”

[massivemuseverse]

Ren nods. “Got any food in the meantime? It was a bit of journey to get to the spirit world…It’s ok if you don’t have any food.”

[bathhouse-pet]

“We have plenty, but it’ll cost extra for anything you eat.”

Food? Perhaps Kaonashi can get Ren some - that way no payment is needed...

[massivemuseverse]

“I guess he likes Carp that much.” Ren says with a weak chuckle, folding his arms a bit as he calmly waits. “So how do I reserve a bath here? It’s my first time in this place…”

[bathhouse-pet]

“Well, you just ask to reserve one of the rooms, and we’ll make sure nobody else gets to it before you do!”

The frog glances at Kaonashi waringly - why does he keep watching them? Surely he doesn’t want something, right?

[massivemuseverse]

Ren looks at the map. “Could I reserve one of the baths in this room?” he asks pointing to one of the rooms, his tail swishing. He was not too comfortable with being watched by that big guy especially after seeing what he did to the smaller vulpine. “Do I pay upfront?”

[bathhouse-pet]

“If you want, it definitely makes things easier if we know you’ll pay before getting service.”

Kaonashi tilts his head, tail swishing about in a manner similar to Ren’s as he observes, wondering what kind of spirit the guest is - another kitsune? Some kind of yokai taking a human form?

... Do hybrids between humans and spirits exist?

[bathhouse-pet]

Ok this is probably dumb but like Saros just chilling in one of the baths but because they're so tiny, Kaonashi is just staying nearby cuz he's worried they'll like drown or something

ooc. i’m just imagining kaonashi looking like this hgbhnj-

[bathhouse-pet]

Ren travels to the spirit world. Being a demon fox beast-kin, he took pride in the bath house's reputation and had plenty of money to be able to afford all the services the bath house had to offer. He mostly wore a grey hoodie with black pants. It was not often he got to visit the spirit world, but he sometimes enjoyed getting away from reality. (massivemuseverse)

The wind gently blows through the many trees leading up towards the bathhouse, their spring-green leaves almost glowing in the soft sunlight of the early afternoon. As usual, the bathhouse is bustling with customers of all kinds: countless yokai and other spirits wander about and converse with each other, not even noticing as Ren slips past them.

[massivemuseverse]

Although he liked meeting new people, he still was careful because there could be dangerous spirits. He approaches the counter and speaks to the attendant. 

“Excuse me, do you know where I can changed and how to get a bath? I’m a new individual here and I don’t know how things around here work.” he says, his ears flickering a bit.

[bathhouse-pet]

The attendant - a small, frog-like creature donning a simplistic, blue yukata - hops in his tall stool in friendly ardor towards his customer.

“Hello! The changing rooms are to the left. Though, I think the baths are all full now… you may have to reserve one and wait a bit.”

[massivemuseverse]

“Thank you for the help, I can wait my turn. I’m not really in any particular rush…” he says. “So when my bath is ready, do I come here and pay for my token?” he asks. “How do I reserve my bath?” Ren knew about the bath tokens because he had overheard staff talking about bath tokens for the bath.

[bathhouse-pet]

“That’s exactly what you do! Just look over our map of the bathhouse and pick which room you want.”

The frog pushes over an intricately designed layout of the bathhouse’s interior, complete with calligraphy writing that labels each and every spot of the expansive building - how anyone was able to successfully draft this out in one take (and all in ink, no less) is enough to leave someone flabbergasted.

[massivemuseverse]

“How am I supposed to remember all this?” he asks shocked at the map. Trying to decipher some of the calligraphy. This being his first time, it was leaving him rather confused and the frog attendant could clearly see it on his face.

[bathhouse-pet]

“Oh, first time here? Sorry about that, got ahead of myself-”

A loud CRASH up ahead signifies some sort of commotion, and is followed by a low rumbling that makes the ground shiver as a massive creature, black as night, comes charging through the halls with something in its jaws, a vulpine spirit giving chase.

“THIEF! GIVE THAT BACK!”

[massivemuseverse]

“What the-? What in the world is going on there?” Ren looks at the big creature in shock, a bit paralyzed in fear. “What is that big thing?”

[bathhouse-pet]

“Oh, that…”

The spirit is quick to toss its catch up - a carp as big as a person’s torso - and swallow it whole before the kitsune can snatch it back, much to the foxe’s dismay.

“That’s Kaonashi. He’s… he’s kind of the bathhouse’s, uh, pet?”

There’s a hint of disdain in the frog’s voice; he knows what happened years before, and he does not want to be the next unlucky amphibian to be gobbled up.

[massivemuseverse]

“The bathhouse has a pet like that?” he asks while waiting….”Well at least he doesn’t digest spirits right?”

[bathhouse-pet]

“Well…”

Just as the kitsune raises his arms to sling a punch, Kaonashi clamps his jaws down onto the spirit’s limbs and refuses to let go, and the vulpine gives a yelp of pain.

“About that-”

[massivemuseverse]

“And I thought I had issues…What the heck did that vulpine guy steal anyway?” he asks, tilting his head.

[bathhouse-pet]

“Oh, he didn’t steal - Kaonashi stole his prized carp dinner before it could be served.”

Eventually, the kitsune is freed, and he’s quick to run off while holding his bruised arms in pain, tails between his legs and whimpering. On the other hand, Kaonashi gives a tired huff before lying down, watching the newcomer curiously…

Kaonashi has there ever been a time you lost your temper at/around Will or Saros?

So far, the answer is no.

But he fears the day when that may change.

[bathhouse-pet]

Smol demon sneak over to try and steal food from the other

The round spirit rears his head and emits a faint, rumbling grumble - a mix of confusion and a warning…

[lithiom]

She slowly gets up and follows him “are you this nice to everyone?” She smiles slightly and purrs a bit. She follows him closely. “This place is pretty big isn’t it…”

[bathhouse-pet]

Though he wish that were true, the answer is no: there have been many times when the behavior of others has led to Kaonashi’s anger, therefore causing suffering that he immediately regrets after the heat of emotion has cooled. However, he is working on controlling his temper - and there have been results.

“... Tr-Try to.”

[bathhouse-pet]

"What are you!?"

The round spirit merely tilts his head in bewilderment - he was thinking the exact same thing!

What on earth is this small creature? It looks like a tiny deer, but…

Perhaps it’s some sort of spirit never seen before?

[chopperpirate]

Having become acquainted with many instinct driven beasts in his day, Chopper seemed to be strangely calm after hearing that answer. He wondered exactly what the spirit meant by hunger.

“I mean, if you ate someone, they wouldn’t let you stay around here, right?” Chopper asked, not seeming to view this masked beast as a threat to him. “You won’t try to hurt me, right? I trust you.”

[bathhouse-pet]

“Ah… hm.”

His hunger can turn deadly - he can’t help that - but he has tried to restrain the urge to hunt and devour the living, with some success; though the occassional slip leaves him sated - and the bathhouse short of staff.

Of course, he often coughs an accidental meal back up before they’re harmed, but that also has its failures.

Kaonashi pauses before presssing his head against Chopper’s gently, giving a rumbling sigh of trust.

[chopperpirate]

“They’re used to you losing control and eating their people? I mean… that sounds like horrible management of this area. Can’t really blame you as much as the people in charge who refuse to take steps to prevent it.”

The reindeer giggled as he felt the spirit press its weird head against Chopper’s own, having no issue trusting that this beast wouldn’t hurt him. He was nice and seemed self-conscious about his hunger anyway. “Well, okay. What do you eat anyway? Can’t you just stay happy by eating lots of snacks?”

[bathhouse-pet]

There’s a small smile and an eager nod as Kaonashi’s mind drifts off to thoughts of freshly-steamed plump carp, hot soups of all sorts,  tender cuts of meat marinated in savory sauces, rich desserts that need a drink of milk for each bite…

He catches himself drooling a bit and rumbles in embarrassment, murmuring a meek apology as he wipes his face.

[chopperpirate]

Chopper was surprised by the faceless entity’s odd drooling, wondering what foods he was thinking about. Chopper knew what he liked, but nothing about the beast’s appetite was clear. Well, aside from the fact that when he got out of control, he ate whatever was nearby. It was a ravenous appetite that reminded the reindeer a lot of the malice of Big Mom, especially when she got hungry. “Speaking of which, do they even have food that I can enjoy here? I dunno if spirits eat the same things that I do.”

[bathhouse-pet]

Kaonashi nonchalantly sits down in a surprisingly feline manner, his tail curled around his sturdy legs, before giving a long, relaxed stretch as he yawns, showing off wide, uneven teeth that could crush bone, and then plopping down on his stomach.

He’s sure that the food served here reaches virtually everyone: even if someone deems things like sushi or lobster unfavorable, surely they could eat a few bread rolls or hot soup.

“Mmrh...?”

[bathhouse-pet]

Smol demon sneak over to try and steal food from the other

The round spirit rears his head and emits a faint, rumbling grumble - a mix of confusion and a warning…

[lithiom]

“K…kaonashi…” she blinks then nods “that’s a cool name..” she looks down “can I ask….why you are nice to me?”

[bathhouse-pet]

To be honest, Kaonashi can’t understand why such a question would be asked in the first place, but he’s willing to answer despite his confusion. Kindness is something that must be given no matter what - without it, the world would be good as dead.

He should know - the first part of his life as a spirit was devoid of it.

“N-Nice… is good.”

[lithiom]

“But…I’m a demon….demons aren’t normally welcome here… im pretty much a pest right?” Her ears droop

[bathhouse-pet]

A demon? How can something so gentle and meek be of malicious origin?!

A hand reaches out to lift her chin up, allowing them to face each other, eyes looking into their own.

“W-Welcome… here.”

[lithiom]

“R..really?” Her tail wags slight “You’re not….upset cause of what I am…I know demons aren’t really allowed here but food made by spirits is the only food I can eat…human food makes me sick…”

[bathhouse-pet]

He shakes his head vehemently - why would he hate someone for being born as a different creature? That just makes no sense.

Already he can tell that the two share a similar past of being outcasts of society, left alone to fend for themselves against the disdain - or sheer apathy - of everyone else.

Perhaps he can reserve a room for her to stay?

[lithiom]

she purrs slightly and lays down “you’re the first one who has ever said that..” she curls up slightly “is it okay if I sleep here? i’ll leave tomorrow I promise.”

[bathhouse-pet]

“Ah-ah...”

Kaonashi slowly begins to meander off towards the end of the hallway, making sure his pace remains equal to the demon’s own before turning his head and peering down at her - is she coming?
