5 Tricks Played
[private to self; unhackable]
It seems that my very dreams are now subject to the ludicrous and invasive nature of this place. I refuse to acknowledge that other...incident....her ghost would never dare to haunt me, here or otherwise. And those of others are, too. The few I visited were remarkably engaging; a woman with a magical wishing shop, a giant white wolf like Amaterasu but not tearing a mortal apart, a murderous man's ravaged warscape pocketed by explosions.
My own pleasant memory of doing away with that woman turned into something infested with interlopers. But to be visited by another fox.....yes, an interesting experience, brainless as he was. The unseen phantom accompanied the scraping noises surely has no significance.....that other one, though, the "kirin" or what not...how I would love to squash him. Attack me? In my own dream? Rrrrrrrr. I really should just kill everyone here. It would be easier than breathing - I may still lack the Fox Rods but my power is still beyond comprehension.....Hmph, when did my patience deteriorate? It must be this disguise; it's chiseling away the last of my nerves, having to flounce and smile and befriend idiots. In Sei'an I could at least use it to carry out my plan. It had a purpose and thus was easier to bear. What scheme do I have here? None, save to trick the locals and keep myself free of constant harassment.
Much as it chafes me, I must continue to remain in this form......although these so-called deities will surely, at some point or another, provide a time when something so risky as briefly shedding it can be explained away by their pathetic mischief. When it will unknowingly shield me, let me keep up my ploy, and yet also allow me to freely assume my true form once more! Yes, and soon, if I have any luck left. Just a little while is all I'll need. I've clearly deserved it for putting up with these simpletons - and I have not forgotten home, nor my enemies there. Fret not, my dear Queen. I'll come for you yet - no place can hold me imprisoned forever. Seek to find my fortress, do you? To lay both island and master to ruin? We will see who will be destroying who in the end!
There is the unfortunate fact that those who witnessed my dream might draw some hasty conclusions.....but bah, false tears will soothe any suspicion away. Humans as a whole seem weak against a crying maiden, and who can point fingers when it was obviously the work of the deities? All that was done, all that was said....it was only a nightmare after all. Heh.

....I'm sorry you had to see - I never wanted...I never meant for you to become involved in my nightmares. Something like that - I'm so sorry.

These curses are terrible things. I have heard it said before, but I didn't listen then. Now I am wiser, and I will count my blessings that my- my physical losses only tally up to a sleepless night. If I've similarly disturbed the rest of others, I apologize. If I acted unlike myself during those intrusions, I apologize. It was not my intention.

[ooc: If anyone from the dreams she visited pops up, she will vaguely remember you and what happened. Same if you popped into her own dream - only then she might pretend to not know you, depending on circumstance. I need to run out like now, so this is a post and run sdkljfsdf. Backdated tagging/threading on the dream post is still very much a go!]
