What now?

[Raleigh]

*Raleigh can be seen tinkering away busily setting up something that looks like some arcane shrine in yet another empty lot. Really someone from the council should probably press him for all this construction without filing permits at some point. The odd woods and such not entirely unexpected on his part but the various animal motifs that are being scrawled out across the building and grounds might raise some speculations.* Ahh, there we go. Been awhile since a proper one of these existed any where save a few realms directly under our domain. Let us see who gawks and takes a gander before explaining.

[Raleigh]

????: Been awhile elder.
????2: Indeed. Why is an ancestor making one of these?

*Turning toward the two spirit creatures, one a large wolf and the other a dragon, Raleigh chuckles.* Aye, what am I up to? I figured it might be amusing to give you lot a conduit to act through in this realm. The mortals might need you at some point in the future after all. Let the others know if you would. I also felt giving the people a conduit for animal spirit bindings without having to go to my shop might be a good public service act.

[KonokoHasano]

"What's all this now?" Konoko asked as she appeared, blinking for a moment.

[Raleigh]

Setting up something interesting for future events I suppose I could say. Its a nice little shrine to animal spirits. Like the design? It hasn't been seen since prehistory save for select locations. *Indeed the shrine seems to be a very odd design harking to several cultures at once.* I also figured this might be a nice place for people like Elliot or the like to stop in and perhaps get some empowerment that they don't already possess.

This way I can help people level up a bit, so to speak, without looking like I'm trying to make them all obligated directly to me since it bypasses my influence.

[KonokoHasano]

Konoko nods as she looks at the structure. "It does sound rather neat. Hopefully people do come around it and all."

[Raleigh]

I'm sure they will in the future. I just need to find some people to attend to it. Really defeats the purpose if I'm the one handling the upkeep.

[shinryou]

"Makes me wish we had one of these when I first came here..." Kazuya said, floating beside Konoko, "What kind of empowerment are you talking about anyways?"

[Raleigh]

What does? *A cat/human appears next to Raleigh while he talks to Kazuya.* The usual things like greater strength, faster speed, a were form if you wish, enhanced senses, greater cunning, and so on. Really depends on the animal spirit you try to link with I would imagine and how much they might favor you.

[Harri-chan]

The young kitten girl looks around in confusion as she appeared on the floor beside Raleigh. She was humanoid, with with large paws in place of hands and feet, and looked up with wide eyes at those around her. "Meow?".

[Raleigh]

So who are you anyway? You'll find I can understand your answer no matter what method of communication you have.

[shinryou]

A Jar popped out of nowhere and dropped to the ground with a clunk, "Argh... where the hell did I get sent now?" Fairy Kazuya whined. She looks around and sees a copy of her male self standing there, "Ugh... Time paradox..." she stated plainly.

Present time Kazuya looks wide eyed at the fairy, "So... that happens to me in future... I don't like the look of that..."

[Harri-chan]

The girl stared up at Raleigh, but when she spoke it was in clear English, "The girl in the suit asked if I wanted to live rent free and get all my meals provided... in return for doing nothing! I said yes... like anyone would! But then this happened...", she said, looking down over herself and blushed.

[Raleigh]

I know that. I was watching everything from the start. No, my question is what is your name?

Don't worry too much about it Kazuya, either of you. This was inevitable that you would be working for me again. I would dare say this won't be the last time either. So, Fairy Kazuya, you ready to work as my accountant?

[Harri-chan]

"My name is... ", she paused, and swallowed a deep breath... "I... can't remember.. ". The girl was wearing a collar, a little chrome tag dangling from the front, but it was blank. Putting her front paws forward, she found herself moving onto all fours despite the humanoid body, something which seemed to suprise her, with knees bent to keep herself low, seemingly far more flexible than a normal human would have been.

[Raleigh]

I see. Would you like a new name then? And if so anyone got an idea for one? As you know I cannot name things by the bindings of what I am.
