    Indeed, there were lights ahead, blue flickering incandescence like gas flames.

    Sumika stopped, watching. When the glow remained stationary, she spoke. “Sorry, I have a hard time #gauging what will offend you. I didn’t mean anything bad when I said you sounded more human. It’s as if your human and crow intellects have blended. You’re still very much a crow, but not so alien.”

    She raised her hand, stopping a mealy worm’s width from my head.

    “Sorry,” she repeated. “You told me not to touch you without permission. It’s a habit. My mother always patted me when I was upset.”

    “You may scratch my head,” I cawed after a moment. I had been thinking about it ever since the mountain shaman petted me, and I’d decided to trust Sumiak. My Glitter Glinda could be insensitive, but except for shutting me in the car that one time, she’d done nothing threatening. “But I’ll bite your hand off if you’re too rough.”

    “Okay.”

    Her fingers moved the last bit of the way and ruffled my feathers with a slow, gentle motion.

    “Pats, pats,” I crooned. “Pats, pats.”

    “Friends?” she asked softly.

    “Sure, friends,” I cawed. It was so unfair to ask that while she was scratching my head.

    A minute passed, and then she stopped. “Ready to find out what those lights are?” she asked.

    “Yeah, it’s time.”

    #Wss366 Treble #TimeTravelAuthors 9/4 Whatever

    Inside the passage hung a feline odor, strong enough to wilt feathers, and paw prints littered the dusty floor. We turned left in the direction most of them led.

    “It’s walking on its hind feet,” Sumika said after a few meters and pointed to where the marks of the forepaws ceased, leaving only the rear ones.

    “Indeed, that’s because it’s a nekomata. Be glad this passage is wood, not stone,” I replied.

    “Why?”

    “Because your ‘cute’ kitty can spit fireballs. I doubt it wants to burn its mistress’s home down.”

    “Oh!”

    “It could be worse. We might have run into a gotokuneko. They’re about #treble the strength.”

    “Treble? What kind of word is that? Just say three times.”

    “It’s a perfectly good word.”

    “Whatever. And what about ‘gotokuneko?’ You’re not making that stuff up, are you?” Mistress asked.

    “Moi? Me? Make stuff up? I’m wounded. No, I studied this kind of thing when I was a woman.”

    “You know you’re a lot more human-like than when we first met. You almost talk normally, barring words like ‘treble.’”

    “Awk, chicka, cawa! Pay attention, there are lights ahead,” I cawed, irratated.

    How could Glinda-chan say such a thing? Hmph! Just when I was thinking she had more than one brain cell, she says utter rubbish. But no, she’s nothing more than a three-toed sloth.

    More seriously, we rounded the screen in time to see the cat cross the space beyond and disappear behind a triptych. An image painted on the edge panel caught my eye. It depicted a woman summoning a giant skeleton, with a dog-sized frog at her feet. “Takiyasha-hime,” I thought.

    The portrait’s most interesting detail was the large, yellow tear-#mole below one of her eyes. That was no coincidence. The mark was an inauspicious one, and I suspected the painter had intended the figure to be recognized as ill-fated before the viewer ever noticed the skeleton.

    It was easy to see how a place like this might acquire a sinister reputation, even becoming considered cursed. That would make it an ideal location to hide a secret entrance.

    My supposition proved correct. When we slipped around the partition, we found an alcove draped with drab, dusty wall hangings, and concealed behind one of them was an opening to a narrow passageway.

    Some of the shaman’s advice was finally coming in handy. She had said, “From the fourth floor… Find your way into the walls as soon as you can.” With luck, the cat would reveal a secret passage.

    I repeated, “Follow the cat, or we’ll lose it. No #slacking, girl! Mush!”

    Sumika started after the pussy, and we were just in time to see it disappear behind a lacquered screen.

    “Hurry, hurry!” I urged. “It’ll be a cat-o-strophe if we lose it! Ack, ack, ack.”

    My laughter echoed, surely inspiring further ghost stories.

    Some of the shaman’s advice was finally coming in handy. She had said, “From the fourth floor… Find your way into the walls as soon as you can.” With luck, the cat would reveal a secret passage.

    I repeated, “Follow the cat, or we’ll lose it. No #slacking, girl! Mush!”

    Sumika started after the pussy, and we were just in time to see it disappear behind a lacquered screen.

    “Hurry, hurry!” I urged. “It’ll be a cat-o-strophe if we lose it! Ack, ack, ack.”

    My laughter echoed, surely inspiring further ghost stories.

    “One of Osakabe-hime’s retainers,” I cooed softly, not wanting to scare any more maids with ghostly presences.

    “Where?” Mistress asked.

    “The cat. See its eyes and look closely at the tail. There are two of them, hidden by an illusion.”

    “But it’s so cute!”

    “Agh! #Slothful creatures! No doubt it will report us to the Lady,” I said.

    “Quick, it’s moving! Follow it,” I said, as it slunk out of the room. “It’ll show us the way.”

  31. CW: A Therian/Otherkin Experience

    Okay, my friend. You want to feel good?

    Let me help you transform.

    *Offers you a light blue potion in a small glass bottle with a cork closing it. The label reads "Soulself Potion".

    This will help you.

    Now, I can't help you transform physically, of course. This is all going to take place as sensations, emotions, and imaginings. But if it can help you feel closer to your real form, at least for a moment, then I'm happy.

    First, drink the potion. Don't worry, it tastes good. You'll need to uncork it... pop! Okay, down the hatch! Every drop... Good, good. Well done. Now the fun begins.

    After a moment, you should start to feel a tingling sensation over your arms. If you concentrate, you can feel your human skin slowly morphing into something else. Your fur, or scales, or feathers, or differently-colored skin slowly appears, like a gradient of hues flowing up and down your arm, your new covering sprouting painlessly.

    Feel for a moment your new covering, revel in how it feels to be truly you in this way. This joy of being so like your -real- self.

    Your hands begin to tingle a bit as well, and as you move them, flex them, you can feel them changing too. Perhaps they grow long and slender, with delicate claws, or perhaps they grow thicker and more paw-like. Your Soulself shines through here, your hands so like those of your real form. Feel how they flex differently than before, feel the fur or scales covering them, your claws or talons sprouting in place of nails.

    If your Soulself has a tail, it is now that you feel it, or them, growing at the base of your spine. It grows out of you to its proper length, covered in beautiful fur or scales or hide, and able to swish or curl or wiggle or wag. Feel that movement as your tail comes to life and begins to echo your emotions. Does it wag happily, or curl around you protectively? Whatever you feel, your tail moves in a reflection of it.

    If you have wings, you can feel your shoulders tingling, the new limbs blossoming in batlike or feathered greatness, stretching as far as you possibly can stretch them, then folding and settling down on your back. They're strong, just like you, and you can feel your limbs and the effect they and your tail have on your balance.

    Now imagine yourself fully transformed, completely the real you. Concentrate on the sensations in your limbs, your body covering nearly tangible to the touch as you pet your arm or foreleg. Feel your ears move if they can as they track sounds or respond to your emotions, your whiskers or nose twitching as you take in scents.

    You are really you. For this moment, feel yourself as fully as you can. Take joy in being able to do this, to feel closer to your Soulself, your true form. Someday, perhaps, you will be your true self. Until then, use your imagination as much as you can. Do your best to love yourself, even now.

    I see you, friend. And you are gorgeous.

  32. Can we send some help for the #Vulpibus folks today please?

    Food, water, EV charging, laundry.
    Basic costs. Somehow these days they need hundreds of dollars because currency is imaginary numbers that keep increasing for the same damn things.

    What a "wonderful" world...
