[On the feed today, a girl, unfamiliar to the community, seems to pop up. At first, her face seems a bit serious...but it eventually lightens up into a little, cutesy smile as she brings her hands up to her cheeks.]

It's so cute! What is that, a little duck! Ooh, I wish I had one, too, I would raise it to be a cute thing forever...! ...hey, wait.

[It seems to dawn on her that, whatever this thing was, it was letting her see some sort of...community? Whatever it was, it had her curious, but not curious enough to deter her away from the fact that there's a cute little duck.

...but no, really, she seems to have focused now, seemingly inspecting her scroll as to what in the world this could be. Someone...help her out? Scare her a bit into making it seem like a youkai had invaded it? She'll just be entranced by the duck for the time being.]

I wonder what all of these things are... [...okay, at least she's not...fawning over it...]

Yeah that many ellipses deal with it. Natsume's just in shock here for a few mins ok Taki what are you doin here. ]

[spiritually]

Taki!?

1/2 i'm sorry but

[circulated]

[She's squinting now.

Squinting at a person that's talking to her through this scroll.

What in the world is Natsume doing on her scroll.

Let this process in her brain for a few minutes because how is this even possible.]

[circulated]

Natsume-kun!?

[friendcontracts]

They like eating innocent humans like you.

[She's joking of course, but Reiko miiight look a little familiar. Especially after her message comes right after Takashi's.]

[circulated]

[God more people popping up- this isn't what she signed up for, and how is this even a thing now?! She's just...thinking this might be a youkai's curse now, yeah! But no, what throws her off even more is the fact that she looks like Natsume, but...]

H-Hey, you look like...! [She's sure it's a youkai!]

video

[friendcontracts]

[she grins a little impishly at her reaction. She's not a mean person but she does like to trick people. And she's heard this before, so,]

Takashi Natsume, right?

[circulated]

[Now this is just getting more spooky. How she guessed his name, she'll never know, but at least it's apparent that it might be...]

...are you a youkai? Were you the one who did this to my scroll? Or is there something else I'm not aware of?

video

[friendcontracts]

I'm the spirit of Reiko Natsume...the grandmother of Takashi.

[how Reiko can keep a straight face? Nobody knows but she continues on.]

You stole my scroll from me and I'll continue haunting you until you give it back!

[kendoleaf]

... Let me guess. The community appeared on something that internet sites aren't supposed to show up on, didn't it?

video;

[selfished]

.. Ya really like ducks that much?

[ OF ALL ANIMALS!! Or more like Kyouko doesn't give a shit about animals to begin with, really.. at least, that's what she pretends on the outside, got a reputation to keep up and all that. ]

[text]

[shadow_spread]

It's a community. At least, that's what we call it.

[spiritually]

You can access this place now?

[ He's.. not sure how he feels about it. It's nice, that she'll be able to talk to his other friends and things and the viruses aren't as bad as youkai so he doesn't feel as bad involving her in things with this but.. ]

[circulated]

[...she's...not sure if she can actually believe something like this, but it seems pretty spooky in the first place.]

Y...you're making this up, aren't you? There's no way that this can be your scroll in the first place!

[circulated]

[She's just going to assume that this is going to be the work of a youkai if more people keep doing this...]

Um, community...? What community are we talking about? The only thing I see is a bunch of...odd things on here...

video;

[circulated]

[Another person...okay this definitely can't be youkai work. But, to answer her question, Taki's face grows serious for a moment, giving Kyouko a well deserved piercing stare.]

It's not just ducks you know...it's anything cute that I can actually lay my eyes on. See, I absolutely lose it whenever I see something cute!

[And she counts the duck as cute, okay. As she manages to say all of this with a straight face, even...]

[handwritten always]

[circulated]

[Oh, it's text this time...she's already grabbing out a pen and seeming to write back.]

Um, I think I heard that term used before for this- community? What community?

[circulated]

Um- what exactly is this place...? Don't tell me a youkai managed to do something to this scroll...

[Or something; she's already in belief that his grandmother is doing something freaky to her scroll please halp Natsume.]

[kendoleaf]

I'm talking about the community that we're all a part of. It lets us talk to people from a bunch of different worlds.

Apparently it's able to show up on more things than just computers though. Like say... books.

video

[friendcontracts]

Are you looking to be cursed, insolent child?

[she gives her best scowl. Even though she's trying not to burst out laughing]

[selfished]

What kind of weird obsession is that? Sure, I can get actually liking useful stuff or even cool stuff or whatever, but nobody likes cute stuff unless they're some little kid.

[ .. Yeah, Kyouko is a brat. But she doesn't really care.. ]

[spiritually]

Don't say weird things, Taki.

[locked]
Most people don't know about youkai here, Taki, or if they do they're different.. It's like the internet, with one big difference. There aren't any youkai on here right now, but this place can connect different worlds and times.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

[text always]

[shadow_spread]

The kind where people from different places are able to talk to each other.

It's a bit more than that, though... Do you have the internet where you're from?

[circulated]

...oh, so that's how I'm viewing it on my scroll right now...that's a little odd to think, though.

[She seems to pause though, a little sigh coming out of her. She thought she was done with supernatural things, but...]

So, is there any way this thing will go away or...?

video

[circulated]

[Oh god what does she do...no, she has to be brave- even for Takashi!]

Do what you will- I don't mind being cursed. As long as you don't harm any of my friends.
