There's weird and then there's WEIRD.

There's a dog in the Nexus.

It's small, a breed of toy poodle by the looks of it, and is nosing around various garbage bins, sometimes overturning them to paw through the contents. It looks pretty lean and is probably hungry!

One might be tempted to approach it and check it for tags or offer some scraps. Right up until it turns around and you get a look at its face. Its clearly human, likely middle-aged man's face. Y I K E S. It's even wearing glasses.

Still, the thing acts as skittish and furtive as any stray dog would. And there's no denying that it's clearly malnourished, going on how thin it looks. After another bin is tipped over and yields no edibles, it looks towards the forum with trepidation. He won't compromise his presumed safety of staying near an alleyway in the event he needs a quick escape, but asks:

"Does anyone have any food?"

[Jibanyan responds appropriately...by calmly yawning and licking his front paw

Normally barking would make his fur stand up backwards, but c'mon Manjimutt you really think he's intimidated by you? On his 'Yokai he'd rather not meet in a dark alleyway' list, you're probably in the bottom five]

Okay, this isn't working. Jibanyan making a show of being unimpressed is so typical cat. Ugh. Why are cats so terrible? Granted, the other ones that have approached thus far were more people-shaped and were bearing food.

"G-Go away! I found this place first!" He can at try and least bluff on that. Manjimutt fully believed that Chansin was the one in charge until proven otherwise, but he can't believe a little cat could hold more than an intersection as turf. Right?

[Did you just tell him to "go away". Aw hell naw, dem's fightin' words doggy boy...but Jibanyan's too lazy to actually fight right now, so he'll do the next best thing...sass.]

Technically lots of people found this place before you nya~

"Yeah, but are they yokai people? There's gotta be one that's claimed this place as their turf or providence. I saw a pretty big Jibanyan earlier. She was even human-shaped." And you know what that means. They ones that look like humans are always ~~S Rank~~ very powerful.

[His oh so very great ancestor is a legendary yokai, he's no stranger to powerful spirits. But that's not what catches his attention...]

...Was she cute? nya~
