[ There's way too many cute animals in Cerealia, honestly, but Kon wouldn't exactly reach out to the smallest fox like he is Mochi. There's kind of a difference between someone's pet housecat and a kitsune that's bound to a tsukumogami. At least Mochi seems to approve of him, and after he gets a lick he scratches under the cat's chin. ]
Your aunt makes great choices. [ Look at this cat, of course he'd be a mascot. But then he figures he ought to focus properly. ] Right - so, in Japanese lore, there's these spirits called tsukumogami. They're the spirits of inanimate objects that have reached a hundred years, gaining sentience and power, and they can be literally anything. In this case, I somehow got taken home by the sword of Sakamoto Ryouma, and he's probably one of the youngest swords in the place. There's sixteen, I think?
[ He rubs his thumb across the bridge of Mochi's nose. ] They're still learning about modern tech and appliances, and apparently things glitch a lot in the apartments we're all spread across, so I'm not really keen on keeping any tech around there for long.
