> Knock on the front door.
>Let's not knock just yet. Instead, let's have a discreet peek into that window first.

>Putting your Momiji-knocking to one side for a moment, you quietly elevate yourself up to the window in question and have a quick glance within. It's one of Momiji's spare bedrooms, somewhat sparsly furnished, and lying upon the bed is a white wolf tengu that isn't Momiji. This one has longer hair, falling out of its braid, and is splayed out snoring on the small bed, clad in naught but her undies. An empty flask of what appears to be scotch can be seen on the small table on the other side of the room, next to an empty vodka bottle. You wince. That can be a bad mix.
>It takes a moment, but you recognize her. She's a friend of Momiji's, and a fellow border guard. Her name escapes you, though you recall she's handy with a naginata.

>Related to this, just how discreet is our camera, in terms of light and noise?

>Well, you'd never put such images in your paper, not unless you had the victims- er, subject's permission, or if you know the subject would have no objections. Unlike some other reporters. There ARE limits, after all.
>On the other hand, a nice photograph is always worth taking, especially when it's of something, or someone, who's especially pretty. So long as it remains unrelased to the public, of course. You do have a number of such shots already, as a matter of fact. And this seems to be a very photogenic white wolf...

>Quite discreet, actually. The noise it makes is very slight. A human would strain to hear it from across a room, unless it was a very quiet room. And you only need some kind of flash in the event of very low light conditions, which these are not.

> How do we compare?

>The wolf presents you with an image you'd enjoy having a photograph of. She's on the luscious side, but you think you have nicer legs. Her breasts are bigger than yours, however. You're about as 'cute' as she is 'pretty'. All factors considered, you would say it's about a tie between you.

> Is there anything obviously out of place in the room besides the sleeping tengu and the booze?

>Not from what you can determine. The rest of her clothes don't seem to be in evidence, but knowing Momiji, she may have put them away to keep them from getting wrinkled. Or stained. Or both.

>Knocking on Momiji's door when we're done investigating.

>Do you wish to take a shot of the sleeping tengu before alerting Momiji to your presence?

>Holstering your camera and taking a moment to make sure you're your usual composed self, you descend back to ground level and give Momiji's door a rapping. After a moment, you hear the sound of movement from within. The door opens revealing the mistress of the house, clad in a yellow cooking apron worn over her usual attire, with a look of very slight surprise on her face. "Hatate." She then inclines her head a touch. "Good morning."

(I dislike that I have already more or less hijacked this game. Let it be known that I am intentionally delaying inputs in the interest of letting other people enter their own ideas. Please do this! These games are always better when played communally.)

>Momiji frowns. "That's a good point. I'd forgot it was getting close to her new issue. And I don't think she's missed a deadline in over a century." She looks past you at the dawning sky and sniffs the air. "I am on duty today, but not until sunset. I can help you until then."

>You aren't the kind of person who would do that. Well, maybe if you were doing it to someone who really deserved it, but this tengu doesn't. The word 'blackmail' leaves a very bad taste in your mouth.

>They made your camera, so it stands to reason they might be able to make other photography-related gizmos. You could always ask the next one you meet.

> "Fantastic. Need help getting ready?"

>"I just need a minute to grab my equipment." She pauses. "I suppose I'd best pen a quick note to the girls, let them know where I'll be gone for the day. Better make it two minutes, then."

>Now how did those end up in your pocket?
>Every now and then.
>Truthfully, Momiji's circle is wider than yours by a decent margin. It's not that she's more social than you by nature (though that was close to true for a while), she's just been... on the go longer. More of a public figure for longer than you have.

> Step inside and take a look around.

>Accepting Momiji's invitation, you step inside to wait for her to gather her gear. There is a faint hint of smoked fish and miso in the air, lingering remnants of someone's breakfast.
>Despite her serious nature, Momiji's house has a rather 'homey' feel to it. The walls are painted a light blue, which meshes rather well with the taupe carpet. The porch to your right holds Momiji and friends' cloaks, jackets, hats and shoes. Well, some of Momiji's shoes, anyway. She has a surprisingly large collection of said beyond the usual sandals which tengu tend to prefer. Given the lack of general mess, either Momiji and her friends didn't party as hard as the sleeping tengu's disheveled state might indicate, or she tidied up after them. Probably the latter; Momiji likes to keep a tidy house.
>True to her word, it takes the white wolf barely over two minutes to come back into view, divested of her apron, carrying her shield, with her broad bladed sword belted to her hip. "Sorry for the wait." she says quietly.
