Who: Amaterasu and You!
Which: Log, Open!
Where: In and around town
What: Intrigued by the kaleidoscopic mushrooms, a certain doggy goddess is trying to collect them! Which is... difficult... when you don't have hands.
Warnings: Fungi-induced floating and funni side effects

What's the harm in exploring a quest involving picking mushrooms?

Well, if you're lacking grasping thumbs and have to rely on your mouth to pick up these fluorescent fungi..... there's a bit of a risk! It's clear that Amaterasu has been able to get at least a number of different mushrooms into the basket she was provided for gathering research specimens.

She... may currently be struggling with swimming in the middle of the air, trying not to completely float away, very much not helped by how much the spores had made her dizzy.


Whenever a kind stranger helps her back onto her feet, she definitely flops down and flattens herself against the cobblestone. Merciful ground... why'd she ever think flying was a good idea? It was way easier when the bird dude was around to fly her places.

[ To be fair, he's used to such assumptions to the point where he embraces them at this point. Small animals like dogs and cats also tend to run away from him at first sight as well, so the fact that she's letting him pet is enough to get a genuine smile from the huge man.

As she sniffs, she'll likely scent woodsmoke, chili peppers, geese, and the faintest whiff of brimstone and lotus. Demon-adjacent, though no demonic blood truly runs through his veins.

And when the third eye on his forehead opens just a crack, he can see her true form much more clearly. ]

Hah... you're a rather special pup, aren't you?

[Careful not to blind yourself, gazing into the sun like that! It makes her goofy, empty-headed stare all the more comically contrast from her true nature.

But Asura passes the sniff test, and apologizing for her mistrust, Amaterasu licks at his wrist as he pets her.]

[ He's seen worse tbh. Still, the third eye closes again to block out the light, and he gives her a good scratch behind the ears. ]

So what were you doing floating up there like that anyway? [ He chuckles, not that he expects a proper answer. ]

[After basking in attention for a little bit, she turned her head towards the basket that was dropped in her unfortunate escapade, half of the brilliant mushrooms scattered on the ground.]

Arf! Arf!
