Kyuden Shika

Koi said softly. "It's raining and late. The Spirits have lead us here to you, I need you to focus now Kitsu-sama just in case your dreams fade. Tell me about your night, and your dreams."

She frowned. "Something has lead me here, and I need to know if anything that has happened."

To the great credit of the Lion, he did not throw the Moth out on her ear and go back to bed.

"*Yawn* I was dreaming of home, Kaikoga *yawn* san. Of a bright and sunny day in spring. I was approaching a house, someone was waiting for me."

He rubbed his face trying to focus.

"That's all I remember."

Koi nodded and squatted down to be on the level with the Kitsu. She placed the lantern down so it illuminated the room properly. "I see, what did the person look like? Did you know who they were? What did the house look like?"

Koi said softly. "Try closing your eyes, paint a picture of the dream. Think carefully, take your time." She said guiding him, with the voice of a professional like she has done this a thousand times. "Please Kitsu-sama, this is important."

(Preparing to fast forward sir! Fast Forward!)

Koi talked to the groggy and somewhat grumpy Lion for quite a while, but wasn't able to divine any deeper meaning from his dreams. He did seem to be unharmed though (Besides being woken up by a well meaning Moth asking him about his dreams.)

It wasn't until Koi and Murato got back to their rooms that they saw the true terror that the spirits had wreaked upon them. As they stood in their respective rooms, dripped, cold, and covered in mud, they noticed that all their spare outfits were gone. Thankfully (for him) everything was as he left it in Neeshin's room.

Murato sighs and goes about cleaning everything up. In his under clothes while he let his kimono drip dry... nowhere near an opening. They weren't taking his last set.

Nesshin contributed to the fast-forwarded discussion, noting that there had been suggestion of possible adverse activities, prompting an ascertaining whether Kitsu-san was well, and with apologies for the inconvenience.

Later, once the perfidy is revealed, Nesshin notes that kimono are available for use, and perhaps the innkeeper has yukata available for the interim, but he searches as the GM determines appropriate for traces of the clothing and/or signs if what took it.

"Though with all the talk of spirirs from those qualified to discuss as much," Nesshin says to the others, "I have to wonder if that possibility must be entertained."

Yukata with cute little sleeping foxes on them were available, clues to where the clothing had went were not.

The yukata was worn happily while his kimono dried. He thought that the day was going to be a long one if it kept up like this.

Koi was just fucking devastated.

Not only had the night been a complete fucking travesty, nothing. Absolutely nothing. She was just jerked around by the spirits and she was aware that she shouldn't have taken it so seriously.

No, that wasnt the travesty not the worst of it. No, it was the fact someone stole her sister's kimono. The finest kimono she owned, it was gone and she had no real idea where it disappeared too.

Koi accepted any yukata given to her as her clothes are drying, but she definitely seems withdrawn and quieted as she apologies profusely for wasting people's time. It was all her fault.

Once Koi withdrew into her room and away from people, the tears she was holding began to fall and an anger within her began to grow.

Mura gave her a nod of understanding. It was not great, having your privacy invaded. And being jerked around by spirits. It wasn't the first time for either for Murato. When she seemed on the edge he wanted to provide some support. "Let me know if you want to talk any of this out. I'm here to help Koi-san."
