Ricter has started to befriend Kazarisu, a Kamaitachi yokai spirit that accompanies him. However, he needs a bit of 'motivation' to do more than just protect him, as such he feeds him a pint of alcohol to offer some inspiration.
Kazarisu resembles a stoat in appearance and size but can grow to be as big as a wolverine if he wishes, with paws that can extend into sickle-like claws. He has jagged white fur that is smooth to the touch with black coloring on his tail tip.
--------------------
"I've learned in nearly half a year that Kazarisu is a bit fickle, likes stupid jokes that I make, chicken, and drinking. I'm glad to have him around but he tends to be a bit of a menace, especially when he chugs a whole bottle of wine and ends up cutting up my curtains...Nonetheless, I'm starting to like him, we even started watching soap operas together."
"Lately, I have been demanding we work together but he just lacks...motivation, not in a bad way though. So I bribe him with some wine occasionally, which seems to give him a physical body somehow, probably some form of yokai logic. Although he's mentioned that if he 'died' he'd just revert to his more spiritual clingy self, which was a relief."

Summon a single Kamaitachi at your location. They will last until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. You may have at most 1 minion active at a time.

Pete stands tall, his eyes fixed on the sky. He takes a deep breath and lets out a sharp whistle, a clear, resonant sound that echoes in the air. Moments later, a small, fluffy cloud begins to descend from the heavens, looking almost like a soft, white piece of the sky itself, reminiscent of ancient tales.
As the cloud draws nearer, Pete braces himself, then performs a flawless somersault, landing deftly on top of the cloud. The cloud feels surprisingly solid beneath his feet, and a sense of lightness envelops him. With a focused mind, Pete maintains his concentration, ensuring the ritual's success. He stands on the cloud, which gently rises, lifting him above the ground.
The cloud, now carrying Pete, begins to move smoothly and silently. As he gains altitude, he feels an exhilarating sense of freedom. The landscape below grows smaller, and the wind rushes past him. He leans forward slightly, and the cloud responds, moving forward with ease, though it sways gently, almost as if it had a playful spirit.
While flying, Pete can maneuver the cloud with incredible agility, reminiscent of the legendary journey of Sun Wukong. He darts left and right, ascends and descends with precision, the cloud effortlessly following his movements. It sways and moves with a life of its own, a subtle nod to its mythical origins.
As Pete glides through the air, the world below unfolds in a breathtaking panorama. The cloud remains steady beneath him, providing a safe and reliable platform. For two hours, Pete soars through the skies, exploring the world from a bird's-eye view, immune to the dangers of falling and reveling in the unmatched freedom of flight. The cloud, seemingly imbued with ancient magic, hints at its legendary origin tied to the mythical Monkey King.

Under the moonlight the struggle of feathers breaks the cricket's chorus. Circe's mark etched into ground underfoot, a bound pigeon laying atop it. A young witch unsheathes her athame, it's silver blade reflecting the moon rays in the poor pigeon's eye. As the blade comes down with a sickening squelch, the pigeons' death throes echo throughout the woods, followed quickly by muttered incantations, the witch turns the blade on herself, allowing it to pierce her flesh, blood dripping on the fresh carcass below. The blade glows faintly, pulsing with an ethereal indigo glow as the pigeon's carcass begins to undergo a transformation, the blood mixing and rising into the air before shooting back into the lifeless body as it begins to twitch and turn violently, it's feathers and beak becoming an distinct ebony as it rises, it's newly feathered head looks at the young witch, giving her squawk and a bow. The witch smiles in delight.
