>Inventory
>What are the practical limitations of our shapeshifting ability?
>Your inventory contains
>Black dress
>A short number that draws attention low, and has a lovely bit of frills around the neck. It's made to accommodate your wings, and is is quite stretchy, very useful when you need to change shapes on the fly.
>Black Stockings
>They keep your legs warm and clean. They can stretch to accommodate some shape changes.
>You have several limitations. Firstly, you need to keep your internal organs intact. This means that radical shifts need a lot of practice; you can alter your internal organs, but it takes time and practice. Time and practice are other practical limits. You can easily make yourself look like an average human, for instance, but looking like a specific human takes practice and studying that person closely. Voices, you need to listen to and spend time manipulating your voice box to get right. This tends to be hours worth of work. As well, it takes more power to move further from your natural shape, leaving less for danmaku and such. You're most dangerous when you're in natural form. You can make yourself about a short as a child or large faerie, and about as tall as Byakuren if you sacrifice your wings; you can be smaller if you move extra mass into more appendanges and such. It's not an exact thing, magic's like that. When you need something extraordinary in a hurry, you use a seed of non-identification.
>Thankfully, though, you can pull off the basic shape of about any race in Gensokyo easily, and just about any normal body type. And you have a few specific shapes of wilder things that you keep in practice.
>Skills.
>Your skills are
>Shapechanging!
>You can change shapes naturally, within reason.
>Danmakustyles
>You are among the best in danmaku, with some particularly vile spellcards you're proud of. Leaving your natural shape cuts your power significantly
>Cocktailcrafting
>You can mix a drink like nobody's business
>Cartographing
>You have an interest in mapping the Underground, and hawking those maps.
>Seam Stressing
>Your unique talents force you to make a lot of your own clothes. You're pretty good at it!
>Jeweling
>Every master thief is a master jeweler, and vice versa. You can make some very nice jewelry with time, assess gems, and cut your own with time and the right tools.
>Seedy Matters
>You have the skills to cultivate and use seeds of non-identification
>The Darkness
>You can conjure a cloud of darkness, this drains your power rather strongly.
>Tridenteering
>You're a dab hand with a trident! In particular, you can fish pretty well with one. But in terms of self defense, you're not slouch.
>Pickpocketing
>You had to start somewhere...You're rusty, but still got it, you think.
>Lock Removal
>You used to be a dab hand at picking locks, but it's been ages...
>Second Story Work
>You used to be quite the cat burglar, but it's been awhile. You think you still have it.
>_
>Who else has graced the presence of our futon?
>Do we even have a true form?
>How effective are we at impersonating people, visually?
>More than you care to count. You've had a number of brief relationships among oni and the occasional kidnapped human. Nothing serious, but quite a lot of fun.
>You do, a somewhat smallish and thin youkai with interesting wings and excellent legs (if you do say so yourself).
>See above. It depends.
>Quests
>Another Day, Another Drink
>You should open the pub sooner or later. Maybe.
> Relationships
> Do we have any regular customers?
> How often do we shapeshift nowadays?
>You are acquainted with Deva K, and could probably impose on her for a moderate favor. You are good friends with Byakuren and her friends, and could practically have them eating out of your hand if you liked.
>You have some regulars, and a number of transients.
>Not very often, actually. You rather like your proper shape, and find the less you change shapes, the less you get blamed for. And, the less you do it, the less people expect it when you do.
> How often have we opened the tavern in the last, oh, month? Maybe it's time for a break.
>Regularly. A break may not be unwarranted at all!
