I saw this poster on a wall the other day. Is this real?


ooc: Poster put together by Ani, Jin Guangyao's player!
[It's not. And he would know, because he was there with Jin Guangyao and Nie Huaisang when the latter painted it. But Yizhi figures bringing this up as if he's clueless about it only strengthens his "innocence". And at this point Weird Posters With Toraguma On It is circulating in the city's rumor mill and he's very curious about people's theories.

On the public networks, no civilian really knows what's going on. There are Shuten loyalists that insist this is slander but most youkai are treating it as one of many curiosities in the city. Especially after the upset at the Daitengu's funeral, those who have correctly deduced that the poster is Tamamo-made slander have been engulfed in a flood of increasingly confused theories:]

I looked it up and the locals are pretty split on where it's from. Some say the Daitengu's also behind this? That's probably not true, but it is one of the wilder theories and so I wanted to share it. It's a fine example of the vibrancy of this city.



(ooc: Threadhopping is highly encouraged here as well, I'm doing this 100% because I think it's funny and the more chaotic it is, the funnier)

i dislike sweet things so that would have done nothing for me
and youve yet to convince me that youre any less foolish than you appear to be
good riddance for now

Why so abrasive, even when standing on the doorstep on your way out? Aiya.

[The caption reads "Can you bear to ignore me?". Most likely for ironic effect, because Felix's attentions so far aren't exactly really worth top dollar, yknow]

[littleshield]

[ ...Oh shit, a cute cat picture. Even if he's definitely irritated he is unable to resist looking. ]

is that cat supposed to be you??

[baofeng]

Sort of? Cute animals are just a good addition to many conversations. Where I come from we use these to convey certain emotions in text messages.

Here’s another example:


[You can guess what the caption is about by looking at the cat’s face, honestly.]

[littleshield]

[ ...yeah.

Felix kind of wants to add cats too. Like grumpy ones. Not that he's going to say that. ]

how do you even do that?

[ He is not the most technologically adept as of yet. ]

This is an embedded image! There’s an option when you write a message to include a photo with it. I can send you some of mine, but I don’t know what kind of reaction images you like, and mine are all captioned in my native language, so it might not be a good idea.

You can make your own with an image editing program, and find photos you like on the internet. Or if you don’t know how to use such software, you could find a yokai freelancer on the public networks to make some cute stickers for you.

[Imagine there’s a link for Jigoku-cho Craigslist here.]

[littleshield]

good enough
i should be able to figure the rest of this out myself
im not looking for something 'cute' anyway

[ Felix will absolutely access the link himself despite what he has typed, though. ]

I think we can wrap up here!

[baofeng]

Certainly! Follow your dreams.
