YOUKAI MOUNTAIN

[akaba_ookami]

Stop!

[The voice comes from a tall, thin woman with dog-like ears and a long white tail. In her left hand, she carries a heavy shield adorned with a large red maple leaf; in her right, an enormous falchion. She stands between you and a large archway marking the beginning of a path through cliffs, mountains, and hills leading to the largest

[akaba_ookami]

O-Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize any other white wolves were in the area.

...Do I know you?

[prayerispower]

[Tilts head to the side and whimpers thoughtfully, snuffling around your feet. Huh, you don't smell very familiar.]

[akaba_ookami]

No, I suppose you don't look or smell familiar. Weird. What brings you here, then?

[talontaught]

[He points over your shoulder at the path, his desire to explore it and his impatience at your nonsensical talking clearly evident on his face.]

Rrrrgh!

[akaba_ookami]

[Enormous sword is leveled right at your face.]

You're not a Tengu. Leave.

[talontaught]

[Sharp, glowing war talons grabbing the sword to move it aside as he attempts to shove past you. He does not have time for this.]

[akaba_ookami]

[She butts him with her heavy shield.]

That was your second warning. Any further attempts to pass me will be met with full force.

[ka_me_ha_meeeee]

Can I just make a liiiitttle visit? I really need to find the Dragon Ball that landed here!

[akaba_ookami]

The dragon's what?

[ka_me_ha_meeeee]

Nonono, not a dragon's balls, Dragon Balls! When you gather all seven, you can summon a dragon to grant you two wishes. It's super important that me and my friends get them as fast as possible, and this radar I have says one's on your mountain here. So, please?

[akaba_ookami]

Why should I believe you and your ray-dahr?

[scoop_tengu]

I'm happy that you're doing your job diligently, but do we need to go through this every time I come by this route?

[akaba_ookami]

My duty is to stop and interrogate all suspicious strangers I come across, Shameimaru.

[scoop_tengu]

I'm not a suspicious stra...

Well, I'm not a stranger, at least.

[akaba_ookami]

You're strange, though. That's enough to make you something of a stranger.

[9timestheliar]

[LOOMS OVER.]

I need no permission to go where I please.

[akaba_ookami]

[She readies her sword and shield]

None are allowed to enter Youkai Mountain without the permission of King Tenma. There's no way I'm letting a kitsune of all things onto the mountain.

[9timestheliar]

[Raises tails and bears teeth in a mocking grin.]

A King, you say? Pray tell me where he resides, and I will bring you his skull as passport.

[akaba_ookami]

There is no way you'll see King Tenma. The Tengu would stop you long before you get anywhere near him.
