[ Momiji has no idea what's going on. The explanations are easy enough to follow, but they're also so ridiculous that she has no idea what to believe. Certainly, this place is very advanced... it's kind of what she imagined the Lunar Capital to be like based on the descriptions from others.
Still, if she's going to get by here, she needs to understand the rules. That starts with this device they gave her, and of all the features, this dungeon crawling game seems like the most straightforward. For her companion... a very affectionate shiba inu. Is that a joke about her being a wolf tengu?
Some time later, the animal companion has grown in size and affection. By now, it's bigger than she is, and is spending most of the current puzzle draped over her like a massive fur coat. She's about at the end of her rope, looking around for anyone else in the dungeon who can bail her out of this bizarre situation. ]
Excuse me, can you give me a hand? Solving puzzles isn't really my strong suit...
[ She tries to sound serious, but the giant cuddly puppy flopping all over her is making that difficult. ]
II.A Tengu Grand Shogi
[ Many people who look upon the waters of seeing see past tragedies. Battles lost, loved ones who've gone away... but not all. The memory that alights at Momiji's passing is a much more relaxed one.
In the water is a picturesque forest clearing, with a short tree stump in the middle. A game board has been laid down on top of it, covered in a dizzyingly complex array of pieces. On one side: Momiji. On the other side: A girl with blue hair, a green hat, and a whole lot of pockets. Both of them ponder the state of the board deeply. But soon, one of them shall make their move, and the battlefield will shift.
Any... Any moment now. Wow, they're really taking their time with this.
Back in the real world, Momiji sits cross-legged by the side of the stream, looking down into her own memory with interest. Is it really that interesting, watching yourself play shogi? Does she really understand a game with this many different kinds of pieces? ]
I think I remember this match... Did it end in a draw? Or did we just never get around to finishing it...
IV.A Liquid Courage (potentially NSFW)
[ Every youkai, especially every tengu, knows what you do after a long, stressful day: You go to the bar and lose yourself in drink. That takes... well, normally quite a few drinks, but her great alcohol tolerance doesn't apply to Verve. It seeps in subtly, leaving her pretty sloshed after just four drinks.
So, here sits a wolf girl, chin resting on the bar, surrounded by a quartet of empty glasses and holding a fifth. She rolls her head back and forth lazily, the dizzying sensation making her a little giggly. Eventually, she stops, the next time she sees a Hot Person. The Verve is telling her to say something stupid. ]
You're... cute. [ Nailed it. What else do you have? ]
Wanna go to, uh... what was it called... The Binder? I heard some stuff, and it got me kinda curious...
[ Oh yeah, no WAY she's regretting this in the morning. ]
