You got a WHAT? is that? Is that in the store?

hi theyre OOS at the mo but really neat under For the home section and help you to connect to your dark art spirits.

I have a few questions related to this topic that I felt I should ask.

For starters, would having a Kitsune mean that I would technically be a kitsune-mochi or a kitsune-tsukai?(which are essentially fox-employers/ 'fox witches'..)

Also, my understanding of the traditional mythology, Kitsune came in two principal divisions: the messengers of Inari, the Shinto Rice God, and the kitsune who were outsiders and tended to be tricksters or even malicious. Are the Kitsune, in this case, zenko or Inari foxes? Or are they yako or 'Outsider foxes'? Are there any karmic implications of having one around?(I would imagine that there would be implications with keeping a zenko around, as they are Inari's agents and all. Having a yako around sounds dangerous, though..) Is it true that they really are afraid of dogs? Are the kitsune like their mythological selves in the sense that they can actually possess people? o.o You see, in Japanese mythology, there are tales of fox-possession; referred to as kitsunetsuki. Can one of the CH-bound kitsune actually take on the form of a human as a disguise? I don't suppose they actually do that trick with presenting you with what appears to be a large sum of money, and then it turning out to be an illusion and that the money was actually nothing more than tree leaves, do they? Because, that could really suck. o.o;

I was also wondering about if the Ancient Worlds 'Youkai' ring would mean that I would be attracting things like Kitsune, Oni, Tanuki and Tengu? Or would it be just the white-lighted things that are drawn to it?

Also, something that's been sort of eating on my brain lately..

Can I have some clarification on how the Drow available from CH differ from their DnD counterparts? Always good to know about fact versus fiction.

But yes. All of these questions stem from general curiosity. That, and I like to be well informed. ^^;

queenie - whatever happened to your timer? what is it supposed to do? did you get a replacement? does it work? i know, too many questions but i've been thinking about how i'd like an unusual timer to frighten the bejesus out of buttholio. our resident household ghost scared the crap out of him again during the night by sitting down on the sofa next to him. i was asleep when i heard a bloodcurdling cry and 420lbs comes running into the bedroom yelling "a ghost, there's that ghost again". i rolled over, pulled my sleep mask up partially and said "you woke me up because you saw benjamin? cripes, let me know when you see one of my draugr or wraith then let me know what you think....or wait, a crocotta or drow even. i have a bunch of spirits that can scare the crap out of you but dear sweet benjamin?" i rolled back over and went to sleep giggling. xlgkdkei x..kgie wieldk@! take care all - thought a little humor would be appreciated, lol. arsine

Arsine, that's hilarious! Wake me when you see something that's actually scary! LOL

yep nalathni - my thoughts exactly! lol it's why i rolled over and went back to sleep, which btw, i couldn't. glad i was able to give ya a chuckle! take care, arsine
