❝ 油屋. in the service of the discussion thread

[aurie]

omggg i wish i knew how to do photoshop anything
also after doing a little more research on the bathhouse it's been awhile since i saw the movie
i decided to make mori's main job to send herbs up to the bath's for herbal water
as sort of a test from the bathhouse witch to prove it was only a mistake
but when she isn't doing that she usually fills tubs and wait on guests
so basically she'll be in the boiler room a lot more

i'm also working on her relationship list thingy c:
@shiki where will we be starting at? like how new are the humans?

@kreacher haha awwh
and i can totally see it tho
she's instructing him on cleaning tubs and he curiously pulls the rope
and she gets soaked and her face is just (⊙︿⊙✿)
and i think the first time she'd try his food she'd be so in awe and
then find out he made it and pretend she wasn't just stuffing her face <3

@aya omg i love it !!

[pika beanie]

this whole thread has become a cavern for topnotch dorks cx

i'm working on koki's relations now so expect them to be posted soon.

KOKIng mama

...go to your room shiki, no more dinner for you.

omg but koki and eriko's future convos would always go like:
koki; "hey eriko, wanna know what you'd be if you were
a type of candy?"
eriko; "um."
koki; "nerds." *saucy smile*
eriko; "...since when did you become such an old man?"

i like anra's sabotaging idea btw, i'm crying at the thought
of it. and katashi and koki would have their own hell's kitchen
show once they get back to the human world.

sorry for not being around, my frog died eeeeh >o<

omg i missed so much

@koda - thank you, dearie !!

@ari, - oh my gosh yes
he'd be so completely out of his element and terrified xD
it'd be great

[Ayashi]

With all the funny pictures going on I have to do my own part in this crazy RP. I can't make pictures, (don't worry aurie your not alone ;A;) but I have lots of pets! So here we are and I hope you like them! - x

Nezumi Tanaka / I chose this little guy because I don't collect rats and such, but this little kitty looks so cute with his round ears he reminded me of a mouse!

Daisuke River / Because there are no 'sea serpents' I had to get creative. So a cat with a sea snake on it! Plus that fact he is a river spirit and the cat has water on him, it was a win/win!

Moriko Forest / With her being a forest spirit the first thing I thought was trees, (cause I'm dumb) and with this little doggie and the cherry blossoms it just fit!

Okinami - sama/ He's a dragon, your argument is invalid.

Kodama / This pretty bird/dog reminded me of her lovely picture in her form and it just stuck with me.

Akane / Being a Phoenix, she was a tough one. I was thinking of using a different dog with fire on it, but Phoenix are beautiful so it just had to be this dog.

Koki / Look at the freaking hair style and the glare on that dog. You can not tell me this is the animal version of Koki-kun. Or as I shall now call him, K.K.

Eriko Sato/ Man this was a hard on to find. She was so cute and the only thing I could think of was a cute bunny!

Kaede Akiyama / Another tuff one. But this bunny had a sunny disposition like him and even the same hair color, so there you are.

Chie Yamauchi / I wanted a small dog, as she is the youngest in her family, plus a kind of 'wild girl' appearance so this is the dog that I think fits here.

Katashi Yamaguchi / It was the eyes that drew me. I love his eyes so when I saw this dog in my pets I compared them together and they have the same color eyes!

aurie
Oh my god. That would've been incredibly hilarious
and will definitely be a memory to keep.
Sadly, he has to maintain his rude person and would
make a snide comment about her stuffing her face.

He's definitely not gonna get along with many people
being how he is cx Customers will hate him (:<

Aya Shameimaru
OOooooh that dog is so cute D: I want. But I can
definitely see the eye resemblance c:

[darling lady]

I'm a little late to this party, and I can't photoshop for the life of me (god I wish I could, those are all hilarious), but here's my 'Who Akane Wants To Murder' ur, I mean 'Akane Relationships' post. Yaaaay.

Eriko Akane's main concern is keeping the bath house prosporous, for it makes the witch powerful, and in turn in makes Akane powerful. Transitive properties and all that fancy smacy stuff. So Akane's just glad that Eriko doesn't seem to want to really go home, meaning she's as good as trapped in Akane's books. If the damned girl would just focus, she'd be an ideal worker. Because, at the start, Akane sees them as nothing more than workers.

Kodama Kodama isn't bound to the bath house, but still sticks around. Akane wonders if she has some sort of ulterior motive or evil master plan (not everyone is like you Akane). She'd probably try and persuade Kodama to take up a contract with the bath house witch, because at least then she knows where Kodama fits in the world.

Kaze I'm really conflicted here. I have two opposite reaction ideas from Akane. Either she'd feel super comfortable around his emotionless-ness, because she herself can come off as quite cold and emotionless. Or she will be super bothered by it, because she's used to manipulating people, and its hard to do that when someone doesn't even react. I feel like it will end up being a mixture of both, leaving Akane with very confused feelings, which is pretty rare.

Kai Oh my gosh he's such a cutie can I just cuddle him please? *coughs and uses her professional voice* Ur, I mean, over to planning. He's polite and diligent, meaning he can probably handle his job and that's the main thing of importance to Akane, at least at the start. Later on, when she discovers how curious he is, Akane will offer to take him to new places and show him new things as a reward for his hard work (she is calculating, she knows this will make him want to do a good job), but would likely grow fond of him.

Oki I can see these two having a very love-hate relationship. Because they are closest to the bathhouse witch, its not like the workers really like or trust either of them (life is hard when you're at the top). Oki would be Akane's closest thing to a friend, and yet at the same time she'd probably be all insulting, calling him 'brawn with no brain', and never using -sama, and telling him to stop trying to convert the workers, because they should focus on work, not his 'big head'. And yet at the same time, if something ever happens, she'd probably go straight to him for help. I could totally see these two as hateful lovers.

Nezumi "Now where has that damned little mouse gone now?" This will probably be one of Akane's most uttered lines when speaking about Nezumi. She'd be annoyed by how fickle he is, because he's never around when she needs him. (I do not blame him, especially if he is hiding on purpose).

Chie Oh Chie, you will be the end of Akane. She'd be so exasperated with this hyper, immature, little bundle of cuteness. But she'd grit through it, and probably decide to interfere with the girl's training. Akane would set up time where she is alone with Chie, to help train her to do her duties. I could see Chie liking the fact she's the focus of attention, but also being bored, so Akane would probably try to figure out a way that the girl could be happy and useful. Despite herself, I could see Akane actually getting really attached and motherly towards Chie. Have you ever met a terrifying mother dragon? Yeah, Akane would be like that.

Katashi How much worse could a worker get? Coldness, Akane understands. She is quite cold herself, but unlike Katashi, she has no driving desire to get better. Despite the fact they are both cold, Katashi is Akane's polar opposite. She's calculating and elegant, he's reckless and rude. This will get under her skin so badly.

Moriko Akane probably won't notice her much. She's devoted to her work, so Akane doesn't have to devote any energy or special attention towards improving her. Could change later, I feel like if she did take notice of Moriko, Akane would enjoy messing with the timid girl.

Everyone else I'll do when you finish your lovely forms~ c:

[anraee]

kodama going to be all up in the kitchen like
"hello?"
"anyone here?"
"no?"
"just going to take this then."


kreacher. did I really put kreacker?
oh wow I did.
whoops.
god leave it to me to make a post at 10 PM with a typo and then one at 1 AM and it's like flawless

koda. as for kai and kodama's relation I had suggested one like in the first few pages but
eventually I assumed you just didn't see it. xD and then I was too lazy to quote it again
too busy with bad photoshops and puns


when it comes to chie (ari) and kai (koda) I feel like the whole curious and energetic aspects of the two could make for some really interesting encounters/relationships with kodama as she used to be rather like that, having been a carefree and freedom-loving spirit. of course she'd probably be rather cold towards the two at first I think she could open up to those two and they'd like bring out parts of her that she lost a long time ago.



also gonna make an official kodama relation form thing

summary: the timid, easy to read forest
spirit who is paying off a "debt" due to her
mistakes. she might face if she leaves
prematurely, for her full name was taken
but she remembers her real name. who
knows long she'll be there.

❀xxxx❀xxxx❀

currently working to prove herself by
sending up herbs for herbal water. pro
ceeds with caution around humans. her
feelings about working at the bathhouse
are generally unknown, but she doesn't
complain about it often.

❀xxxx❀xxxx❀

not filling space wot some of her
favorite things include small animals,
dumplings, cherry blossoms and
visiting the a shrine near her old
forest.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

friends ( kodama ) she's always admired the bird spirit, often going out of her way to hear kodama sing or play harp. eventually, she becomes one of mori's closest friends. often finds herself a bit jealous, wishing she could be just as lively and free instead of wimpy and shy
( eriko ) [later] at first, she's just a strange human she had to put up with because kodama liked her. mori warms up to eriko due to how easy she is to get along with.
( kaze ) she could sit in silence with him and be perfectly content. finds comfort in the fact that he's a river spirit.
( chie ) [later] her excitement and curiosity would make mori extremely uncomfortable, since the spirit is the total opposite. but once she realizes chie is harmless she'll probably grow very fond of the human and yet be in total denial of it.

neutral ( akane ) respects her authority and partnership with the bathhouse witch. they have more of a supervisor/employee relationship.

dislikes ( okinami ) the kind of guy who she would see in the elevator and would purposely wait for the next one to arrive instead. although she acknowledges him as a superior, she does her best to ignore his teasing. at least, it's an A for effort.
( koki ) as an enemy of human technology, they were bound to clash from the start. he hasn't done much to personally cause her to dislike him, she makes sure to stay at least ten feet away at all times due to her own fear of humanity's machines.
( katashi ) they started on bad terms and mori has made absolutely no attempt to reconcile about it. dislikes his rude persona and usually pretends she doesn't like his food, when he's actually her favorite chef

romantic interest ooo idk yet. she'll easily fall for someone and not be able to hide it at all awh
could be anyone tbh, let me know if you want to work it out ?? even if we have stuff planned already c:

unknown // tba kai, nezumi, aki

[avanhellica]

has silently been stalking everything and may have fainted twice
from laughter amongst other emotions

@aya ;; aww es so cute ^^ The little serpent be all like "hiss.."
also I think that I'm going to put okinami under "frenemies"
but only because of how intimidated kaze will be of the
dragon spirit but he by no means will mess with him at
all (he'd probably pee his pants)

@darling ;; baha I don't know why but I love this idea a lot XD
I kind of think that's how I'd feel if I was with someone like kaze
I'll put her under "frenemies" since she's a friend but will most
likely end up punching him in the face one day c:

@aurie ;; yup yup that sounds good to me c:

@shiki, ;; I honestly can't think of much else at the moment ;-;
maybe the two are so similar that one day kaze will realize how
blase and boring and actually unhappy he is and he'll just start
going off on a tangent about how hard it is to stay unbiased and
emotionless and how he hates his job to her or something and
then be like 'woah...what was that.'

━━ｒｉｖｅｒ ｓｐｉｒｉｔ

emotionless, mysterious, and calm

human resources -- complaints &
fixing the issues that cause them.

[close friends] (he might not
even know what those are...)

[friends] kodama, moriko, eriko,

[frenemies] akane, okinami

[archenemies] (he'll have to
really "feel" hate for someone to
be here; any takers? haha)

[crush] ("what is love even?
Eh. Probably not worth it")

anyone else have ideas? ;v; it's hard
to make relationships with a guy
who barely smiles DX I think he'd
get along with everyone just fine,
no matter what, but others may
not enjoy his company as much
haha

[darling lady]

Woops, I screwed up. I wrote Moriko where I meant to write Kodama. I did it late at night/early morning, k? ;-;
Anyways, I fixed it, and because I just happen to be awake at six am for no reason, I'll add Moriko later and sleep now.
edited I added Moriko to my little relationships blurb.

@avanhellica Haha, that's awesome. Akane is just gently talking to Kaze, feeling all comfortable, then suddenly whirls around, punches him in the face, screaming "Feel something!" and then apologizing, because she surprised even herself and never loses her cool.
