Your careful footsteps do you no good, for appearing not two feet away from you is a small, greenish creature. It reminds you of an alien, or a stuffed toy. As if reading your thoughts, the creature knocks you out of your daydream by sinking it's teeth into your hand. You jump in pain. "Do not even think it," the creature says firmly, it's tail slashing from side to side in irritation. "I am no alien or children's toy, I am Itakustar, an Okichi!" It shouts, turning around and stomping off to it's home. It ascends the stairs to a covered pavilion in the middle of the clearing. The screened room is lavishly decorated with fluffy pillows and stuffed toys. That much, you can see from here. "Leave!" You hear the okichi yell from within, "Get out of my yard and leave me alone." He must not get along very well with strangers, you think.

From your position, you can see the okichi still. It plops down on it's pile of pillows and plucks a few grapes from a bowl of fruit. Seeing that you are not welcome here, you turn around to leave.

"Oh, don't pay him any mind," says another okichi, "He may look sugary sweet, but he's an old grump." He then turns to you and smiles innocently. "Unlike me. I am Aiiko, pleased to make your acquaintance."
