Hello Purvis:
>You are Iku Nagae, Gensokyo's premier messenger and dancer!
>You are an oarfish youkai in service to the Dragon Palace. As a resident of Bhava-Agra, you bear a status similar to that of a Celestial, and are considered a minor functionary in the Celestial Bureaucracy that makes certain the known universe runs as it should, with all the rights privileges, and duties that come with this position. You are in the service of The Dragon, who reigns quietly as the highest god of this realm, and is among the highest beings in the universe. It regards you well, and you think of it as a guardian.
>While your duties and position suggest your place is in Bhava-Agra, you have a tendency to roam to other places. You somewhat blame this on Tenshi Hinanai, whom you have unfortunately been charged with keeping out of significant trouble, and her tendency to visit Gensokyo whenever possible. You are well-know for your love of dance, and excellence in performing it; oftentimes you've been asked to star in performances given at the Dragon Palace. Others have styled you the Dance Empress, particularly those who would try to claim that title for themselves. You are, as far as you know, well regarded by everyone you know, and are welcome practically anywhere in Gensokyo, save perhaps for Higan. The only real black spot in your days is periodically having to deal with Tenshi's chicanery.
>You are standing in the main hall of the Dragon Palace. The ceiling soars hundreds of feet into the air, with fluffy white clouds obscuring it. The stone walls are lacquered every color of the rainbow, arranged brightly and tastefully. The music of stringed instruments wafts throughout the hall while Celestials move to and fro among its rainbow-colored finery, going about their daily business. The center of the hall is reserved for The Dragon's august personage alone, while the sides are for the various people of the palace. Numerous doors line the hall, leading to various wings of the palace. At the far end are a pair of immense doors made of jade, leading to The Dragon's chamber. Thankfully there is a smaller door off to the side, for the rare times that The Dragon chooses to entertain a guest. Obvious exits are East 1, East 2, North 1, North 2, North 3, North 4, North 5, South 1, South 2, South 3, South 4, South 5, and West.
>You have duties to attend to! You must make certain that the peach orchard is in good condition, and that the next shipment will be ready soon. And you must make sure that Tenshi, whose current punishment is harvesting peaches, is behaving herself.

Kilgamayan:
> Saturday night FEVER.
> Resolve to moonwalk everywhere we go, as long as we're reasonably sure no one is watching. And maybe sometimes when someone is.
> Assuming no one is watching right now, check chest for usual growths.
> Inventory
> Skills
Fightest:
> That status doesn't uphold itself, you know. Plus, we need a good warmup for the day's activities. Bust a shuffle, then break out into some good ol' street dance.
> Only for a bit, though, we're not here to dance-off.

>Oh why not?
>You break out a shuffle, then follow up with a little popping and locking. A few celestials stop to watch your display, and applaud as you finish.
