People think you’re a fox spirit- But I know that’s not true, because if you were you would’ve eaten me already, right?
Pleasure Palace [The youngest fox of Mizukume’s den is finally starting to hunt.
His outfit for the event is elaborate for a purpose. Yizhi takes a shift at one of the Palace’s major bars, a luxurious circular affair with a beautiful faux tree at its center, and with him many of the Mizukume’s regular clientele are lured here to see what he’s like working the floor. There Yizhi smiles at them and guts their wallets, because the more you pay, the more he’ll talk to you, and who doesn’t want to try monopolizing this limited time?]
customer i. [So you need a drink and you’re here. It’s quite easy to figure out how this works- ask for something cheap and Yizhi will just hand it to you before gliding to another customer, some suited yokai who’s ordering some seriously expensive drinks, to ask about how his business is doing.
Once your bill goes over 10,000 yen (~$75), Yizhi stops fully in front of you as he uncorks a bottle with a flourish of his flowing sleeves.]
Mm, this is a good vintage. Is the night going well for you?
customer ii. [There are three yokai discussing in hushed tones at one of the outer tables. One of them waves you over and asks for help: the lovely host of the bar has posed customers a riddle that none of them can solve. He’s a star-crossed lover just like Orihime and Hikoboshi, waiting for his partner to return to him while he’s Lost here in Hell, how romantic, how tragic- and there’s a prize for anyone who can guess his lover’s name. All three have depleted their funds paying for guesses with no luck- they have enough for one last guess between them, and they want to make it count.
The catch is that no one knows the answer. Yizhi actually has two lovers, and he hasn’t told anyone in this city both names. The yokai don’t know this, however.
Do you know the host? Do you know his answer? Could you talk to him and see if he’ll confide in you, one Lost Soul to another?]
staff (tamamo/shuten) [Are you a fellow Tamamo member working the floor tonight? Yizhi’s station provides refreshment for the staff, too, and at the sight of your uniform Yizhi will quickly reach under the table for a bottle of water to hand you.]
How’s the crowd for you?
[He’ll serve Shuten staff too, but given he called Toraguma a tsundere a while ago and got thrashed for it the two factions are hardly friendly, he won’t initiate conversation. You’ll have to speak first if you’d like to be spoken to.]

[After his shift ends, Yizhi changes into something closer to his usual style, and wanders the Underground complex admiring the stars. I’ll be tagging out for this, but if you’d like to arrange something, drop me a line!]
