tamamoe:
keravny
For one reason or another, it was fact that the huts beneath the city’s surface possessed no proper bathing facilities of their own. And, while Tamamo was a Servant, she still existed physically. It was only natural that her body (perfect as she claimed) would fall victim to dirt and poor odor were she to leave it long enough. Which was fine, since there was something soothing about taking a bath.
It was with great luck that she ultimately found a public bathing facility on the upper levels that night. In fact, despite it’s luxurious interior it was practically a ghost town since it was so late. But the spirit didn’t mind, stripping down into her birthday suit before entering the main bathing area with only a pure white towel in tow.
She got into the main bath first. It was warm, relaxing, her skin felt so good. But the sudden sound of the door opening caught her attention. Or rather, the lack of footsteps accompanying it. Thing became clear when the image of another woman came to light, however, her absence of feet essentially explaining everything.
“Hm? Lovely evening for a bath, isn’t it?” Tamamo asked, gesturing to the spot beside her. Maybe with a ghost here, things would be a little more fun.
[☁] Public bathing would cross the ghost's mind as an entertaining idea until her eyes wandered below to remind herself just why it wasn't entertaining at all. Her legs, indeed, one of the biggest sources of her insecurity, were to no doubt attract the attention of anyone with a working eye or two.
Still, the desire to go had only grown for days to come, so Tojiko concocted a fool-proof plan that would allow her the satisfaction without being seen. Slipping through the night and into the doors of the public bath, she breathes a sigh of relief to find it totally barr--
Face flushing furiously in an instant, Tojiko pulls the towels she carried in with her tightly in shock. Someone was here -- someone saw her! Someone's talking to her!?
"Wh-wh-- I-- ah?...” She hated to be caught off-guard, embarrassment more from this than being seen. “Hmph! I was a-a-actually just on my way leaving!" Her own stutters frustrated her further, absolutely despising to be caught by surprise by a stranger. It didn’t help that they were sporting a pair of flufftastic ears and tail.
“What are you doing here? Y-Young women shouldn’t be out so late at night, you know...!”
Ayyyyy
chachacchi:
Chacha looks at her with a mild surprise while tilting her head. It seems her words touched a bad spot somehow… Well, no matter. As usual she shrugs away the blade of the words and continues as she wishes:
“ Oh they are? No holoram then …. “
“ What a fine pair they are, I must say. You are a ghost are, you not? One of the members of our studio often keeps getting possessed by your kind. It is rather exciting, I must say…. “
[☁] Despite her sharp tone, this girl seems to have been affected none. She’s still smiling and talking as if they were old acquaintances suddenly happening to meet up.
Indiscreetly, the ghost tucks her legs and tugs on her dress to hide them.
“Do you really believe I have any interest in what you’re saying at all?”
“Not all ghosts like to prance around and do parlor tricks for your human enjoyment, you know. Get lost, already!” She growls.

betweenhumanandyoukai:
“I do apologize for assuming. But some aren’t honest and choose to keep it a secret from others, even to the merchant they’re buying it from.” After giving this remark. He would walk to the other before standing beside her.
Making a quick glance at other, the half-youkai merchant would then turn to his wares as he thinks of an item that she would love. Though it was a suggestion, it wasn’t easy to pick. Especially if you know nothing of the other’s likes, personally. Meaning, he’ll have to guess on it.
A few moments have passed, he’d then move to the other shelf and take out a small item from a small chest on the shelf. Going back to the other, He’d then show a cute modern looking hair pin with a jade colored flower on it. “How about this then? It can help in keeping the front of your hair steady so that you won’t be bothered of your hair getting in the way of your eyes.”
Well… To be honest here. It would be this, a TV antenna, or a small statue of Prince Shoutaku when he was a child.
[☁] For Tojiko, actions speak louder than words. She keeps her arms crossed and her expression sour even as he approaches to search the shelves at her request. She does not aid him in his quest, simply watching where his eyes wander and following every minute twitch of his finger in judgmental silence.
Whereupon he procures a small, fashionable pin, the ghost’s eyes soften a moment.
Oh, it’s cute...
Reaching to take it in her own fingers and examine it, she thinks how tasteful an accessory it is, and before she can realize her lips curl just so gently upwards. -- “Ah,”
And just as soon as the softness arrived, it exits, an expression even more firm now sitting on her features as if to make up for her previous innocence. An arm juts forward, “Try it on. I want to see how it fits on someone, so you have to do it.”
She huffs. “Maybe then I’ll buy it.”

“I said no such thing about you, not being able to roam wherever you please.” Though it’s fine as long as it’s not someone else’s house. “I do apologize if you misunderstood what you said.” Saying that, he slightly bows his head even though he had nothing to apologize for.
With her being a possible customer, though. He sets aside what he was doing and proceeds to walk to the other, eventually stopping by her side. “Alright, but I want to make something clear. Is the item I’m about to suggest really for you? Or is it for someone else?”
“If it’s the latter, then please don’t be embarrassed to say so. I have no reason to tell anyone what my customers bought here, anyway.”
[☁] She whips her head around, staring at the man with large eyes and twisted brows. An incredulous expression.
“For me!” She retorts, cheeks flushing lightly at the accusation.
“What do you think you’re saying to me? Embarrassed? Of all things...” Crossing her arms, Tojiko slowly floats down one of the shelves, eyes scanning the merchandise. “Embarrassed...” She says again, as if she coudln’t believe it, clicking her tongue and flicking her wrist.
Pausing moments later she turns to him, awaiting his assistance.
“… I understand. Thank you, milady.”
At least he could smile slightly, now. But, only for a moment, before he began to speak again. He took the conversation rather seriously.
“As for that… he wasn’t a murderer. As such, I don’t believe he should meet death, but instead be jailed for his crimes to serve as a longer punishment.”
“Death is… by no means is death something to scoff at. Even if those who die here can apparently come back to life, I just don’t believe that makes it right.”
[☁] “Isn’t that nice...” Head tilting the other side with eyes glued to him, as if looking for an answer to an unsaid question.
“But it’s ignorant. You’re young, aren’t you?... It must be nice.”
“There are crimes just as worse, if not more than, murder. Don’t you know that? So why is death such a taboo to you? The be-all end0all? -- Right, because you’ve never experienced what it’s like, have you? And yet you think you, at such a young age, have the authority to say what it is...” Brows knit tightly, she points an accusatory finger. “At a ghost, of all things, too... Some nerve. But fine, let your naivety sustain his life, let resources be drained for him to linger in solitude. He’ll hardly live a life in jail, but it’s alright, isn’t it? Because at least he isn’t physically dead.”
Vanilla Drops @ryoko
[☁] Rain, rain, go away...
Though this was the type of weather she preferred (for many reasons,) it wasn’t the type she cared to get stuck in. Though how affected her body, or lack thereof, could be by the rain is debateable, the formality of staying dry still stuck with her even after death.
So as the bobbing colors dance between drops and come into the ghost’s view, she’s on the move. She doesn’t rush, but she’s not slow either, silently slipping through the air to reach out a chill finger and lightly tap upon the schoolgirl’s shoulder.
“Let me under here--”
Ayyyyy

chachacchi:
“ A moment please! “
Chacha doesn’t run. She never does or at least she avoids it as often as she can. Instead she waits until she has the attention of the one she called for.. Her cheeks are flushing and her mouth has widened into excited smile.
“ Are those… real? “
She points at her soft looking, cottonlike form of limbs that protrudes from her hem.
[☁] Reluctant to turn her head, she glares at the oncoming girl wearing that smile as if she’s about to sell something.
But what comes next out of her mouth is much, much worse.
“...What do you think?” She spits, not bothering to hold back any venom.
“Little ingrate raised in a cave, aren’t you? You don’t just ask people such rude questions.”
“I think everyone knows what I think about tequila.
…
Everything in moderation. Except for buttsex.”
“STOP!”

Lingering Storms @rinnosuke (non-citta)
Rinnosuke was in the middle of cleaning when the ghost had entered his shop. It did make him curious as to why one of the Taoist group had come to his shop. Not only this, but he also wonders if she was the cause of the sudden change in weather.
“I do apologize, but it’s normal that this shop wouldn’t be clean if the owner is still tidying up his humble store.” The shopkeeper would remark as he held a duster in his hand.
“Now then, what brings one of the crown prince’s important people here?” Surely it wasn’t just to test his patience.
[☁] "Ah-- Oh."
Turning to face the white-haired shopkeeper, Tojiko folds her arms and dips her head to the side. Specifically her gaze fixates on the duster in his hands, quietly unimpressed.
Acting jaded she runs her hand through her hair, eyes now wandering across the shelves.
"It's not that weird, is it? I can go out too, just as much as anyone else." She puffs. Haunting a mausoleum when nobody else is in there gets old, after a while... Not that she would admit it so soon. She had pride in the strangest of places.
"I want to buy something... Maybe. What do you have that's interesting for me?"
“Soga no Tojiko? Yes, I can. … I’ve never heard a name like yours before.”
Then again, he’s also never met a ghost before. … This person really was dead, though… inwardly, he still found it hard to comprehend.
It didn’t feel like she was dead at all.
“So… ma’am. I didn’t quite mean to offend you, earlier. … I just didn’t believe it to be proper justice to punish one for their crimes in such a way, you see.”
[☁] “Just because you’re acting so polite doesn’t mean I’ll forgive you so easily!...”
...
...
“...Well, maybe just this one time -- but one time only, okay?” Palm to cheek and elbows resting on what seemed to be some invisible surface, she tilts her head.
“If that’s your opinion, then what would you rather do with criminals like that?”
Stepping Stones @Shou (non-citta)
[☁] Everyone had a certain step to them. Though it was the simple, universal action of putting one foot in front of the other, there were limitless variations. For instance, Tojiko prided herself in knowing exactly which kind of step belonged to which tenant mulling about the mausoleum.
The Crown Prince's, for example, held prominence in an even tempo; not too slow and not too fast, nor too quiet, loud, etc. But it was distinguished, enough so that anyone could tell of Miko's presence moments before her visual arrival. Futo, on the other hand, was a torrential rain of feet slapping and meandering tangents, with the occasional scuff here in there.
Sitting alone as she often did, Tojiko would bide her time in small ways while waiting for one of these steps to start pittering in the distance.
Today, however, was a different story. She heard steps, yes, but none she could immediately recognize. And while that's happened before, it still concerns her enough to freeze what she's doing and enter the mausoleum's main chamber, eyes scanning darkness.
"Who's there? State your business or leave immediately, this isn’t any sort of community center." She orders, on edge if necessary.
… She had quite the tongue on her. For a ghost, she certainly was… well.
Lively.
“… My apologies. And I’m not slow, ma’am. Nor am I entirely meek, either.”
“I should… introduce myself. My name is Roy. It’s good to meet you, milady. I think I understand why you feel the way you do on the current matter, now.”
[☁] Good one.
“Good. Isn’t it good to see from perspectives outside your own? It makes you well-rounded.” Rather, it’s good to agree with Tojiko when she wants to be agreed with. Bonus points for addressing her so formally!
“Roy? It’s nice to meet you, my name is Soga no Tojiko. Can you remember that?”
“I’m not… it’s just that I’ve never… seen a ghost before, per say.”
He’s never spoken with one, either.
“I suppose that explains why you’re okay with death, then… you really died, though? … I’m sorry you had to experience such a thing. Death, I mean.”
[☁] “I don’t need pity from a living human.” The last words crawl sickeningly from her tongue, clear disgust lacing through.
“Are as meek as you are slow?”
