Is everyone done playing with the tin robots yet? No? Yes? Well, I guess it doesn't really matter much either way.

[She would have helped if her Master had asked her to but he's not here, so she didn't even bother.]

No, what's important is that I'm hopelessly bored. Now, if I were one of the brawling types I'd use this space to ask for a sparring partner or a victim or something like that. I'm not--so don't get your hopes up. [Master doesn't like her fighting without a reason, anyway.] I did come up with something that might be a little bit interesting.

How about a little challenge, Genessia? That's right. I, the lovely vixen Caster-chan, am challenging you, the citizens of Genessia, to a game of wits! [Insert drum roll here.] Let's see how many of you can guess my riddles! No cheating, unless you want to feel my curses. The first riddle should be an easy one:

What has an eye but cannot see? What is stronger and faster then any man alive but doesn't have any limbs?

What can I say? I'm a fox.

It is nice to find that there's more than a handful of youkai living here.

[vulpinecurses]

I'm not just a common youkai, you know. I'm--[Wait. No. That's bad.] Oops. I almost said! Tricky.

[tengugrandshogi]

You're... what, exactly?

[vulpinecurses]

I'm a Servant; a very strong familiar. I'm of the Caster class--a Servant that specializes in magic. The thing is, every Servant is a Legendary Spirit. Someone from myth or history. So you can't exactly go boasting your name everywhere. I personally don't care if people know mine or not but my Master would probably get mad at me.

[tengugrandshogi]

...I see. It sounds like your situation is fairly complicated.

Still, doesn't that mean your race puts you at a bit of a disadvantage? I mean, there are only so many kitsune who reach that level of fame. Genkuro, Kuzu-no-ha, Kojoro...

[vulpinecurses]

Very complicated, yes.

Oh, I suppose it does but I really don't like hiding the fact that I'm a vixen. It only really brings trouble.
