[The image of a young girl appears on the screen. She is looking quite refreshed after subjecting herself to negative thoughts a number of days earlier. Her increased mood shows in this broadcast from just what she wanted to talk about. If not from the fact she is holding a book of fairy tales.]

"Hello, everyone. I just wanted to say In have a birthday coming up in a few short days. I don't plan to have a party this year, but I extend an invitation to all my friends anyway. But, onto what I really wanted to talk about.

What is a popular fairy tale from your home world?"

(Action)

[It was still acceptably cold in Genessia, so Anastasia can safely be outside and not be harmed by the heat from the sun. She was sitting on a swing at a playground near Ayame's apartment where she's temporarily staying while Satsuki is away. She had a book of fairy tales open in her lap, reading as she gently sways on the swing. She wasn't alone, as she has Sylveon beside her, paws up on the other swing.

What better companion to read fairy tales with than a Fairy-type pokemon? Maybe that and someone to talk fairy tales wit?]

Who: Genjyo Sanzo and Tannusen
Where: Genessia City
What: Tannusen is a nice kitty. (Or, you know, a massive jerk. Because cat.)
Warnings: I'm going to go out on a limb and guess 'a lot of profanity'.

Tannusen grew increasingly uncomfortable as time went by without him spending a while in his other form. When it came to it, he usually just lounged around in the apartment, or even in a closed Velvet Lust, and occasionally in Trahaerne's shop. Sometimes, lounging around wasn't enough and he stalked through Fayren's forests or other remote locals, clawing up the ground and climbing trees.

Once in a while, he decided to take advantage of not being on Earth, and spend time as a tiger more... publicly. Just because he could. It was novel! Weird as hell, but novel! Even if he knew that someday, someone was going to screw it up for him and beat Madison's record for the stupidest thing a human had ever done around him in this form.

But, despite that risk, this was one of those rare times when he was actually out in public.

There was a grassy little mini-park, somewhere in Genessia City. Well-tended, pleasant, and currently commandeered by a giant white bengal tiger. A record-breaking twelve and a half feet long with his tail, the tiger was given an extremely wide berth by the fake locals, and he was left in peace to soak in the sunlight and watch people walking past the little park.

Of course, someone's very shiny golden hair caught Tannusen's attention, and his gaze ended up following Genjyo Sanzo. They'd spoken once back in November, very briefly over video -- and the grumpy cuss of a priest had hung up on him, of course. Otherwise, all he knew of the guy came from his father's ever-so enthusiastic stories told over at Velvet Lust.

Including the fact that the guy was somehow scared of little housecats.

Little housecats! How peculiar. Tannusen watched the human passively from where he lay, the tip of his tail starting to twitch in the grass. It would sure be a shame if some giant damn cat started following the guy around for the day, wouldn't it...

Such a shame...
