Ran
(The energy flows differently here tonight. Something... unusual lingers at the edge of my perception.)
Ran
Who's there? This shrine is under my temporary protection.
Ran
(This presence... neither youkai nor human. Something from beyond our boundaries.)
Ryuk
Hyuk hyuk... what an interesting creature I've found. Not human, not quite a god either.
Ryuk
You have such magnificent tails. I've never seen a shinigami like you before.
Ryuk
They look... touchable. So fluffy. So different from our world.
Ran
I am Yakumo Ran, shikigami to Lady Yukari. I am no shinigami as you seem to understand them.
Ran
State your purpose here, strange one.
Ryuk
I'm Ryuk. Just a shinigami who got bored and found my way to this interesting place.
Ryuk
And now I've found something VERY interesting. Those tails... I want to touch them.
Ryuk
I'll trade you. One shiny apple for one touch of those fluffy tails. It's a fair exchange, isn't it?
Ran
My tails are not for bartering, creature. Your presence disrupts the balance here.
Ran
(His aura reeks of decay and otherworldly power. Not youkai, not human... truly a death god from another realm.)
Ryuk
Just one touch. They're so fluffy, so alive. We shinigami don't have anything so... vibrant.
Ryuk
I could follow you forever until you agree. I have nothing but time.
Ran
I serve the Youkai of boundaries. Do not mistake my patience for weakness.
Ran
You will not touch my tails without permission, death god.
Ran
(My illusion techniques should confuse him long enough to prepare an escape. Lady Yukari would be intrigued by this visitor.)
Ryuk
Oh? What's this? So many fluffy tails... which ones are real?
Ryuk
Hyuk hyuk... clever fox. You're more interesting than I thought!
Ran
(Lady Yukari's techniques are difficult to replicate, but I've learned enough to create a small boundary gap.)
Ryuk
These aren't real! Where's the real fluffy fox?
Ran
You seek to touch what isn't yours, shinigami. But I see your fascination is genuine.
Ran
I can bring you apples from our world occasionally, if you promise to keep your distance.
