And a desperate need for a change of scenery, and maybe some lingering embarrassment.Invisigoth wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 1:44 pmIn fairness there were hormones.....Arent wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 10:40 amMaybe, but she also simply left Ashe alone.Invisigoth wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 9:26 amMegumi is do adorable and caring.

I would wager that the TCPD will become aware of her and her day will become much more "disastrous" than her night.Roamer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 4:16 pm
And as far as that last panel is concerned, truer words were never spoken...I think it's just possible that Miho may have some competition in the 'most pursued' category, depending on how dangerous, powerful, and/or uncontrollable a nine-tail is believed to be. Also, how the heck did she tie that ribbon on her head without discovering her new ears?
Or an overwhelming first strike before she can figure out how powerful she is. Being several orders of magnitude more powerful actually does make her a threat to the survival of the city itself...or the only thing that could save it against a powerful antagonist.Invisigoth wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 5:56 pmUp until this point Sonada Yuki has been the most powerful entity in MegaTokyo. Yep more powerful than Miho who very nearly destroyed the entire city by accident TWICE. You saw how the TPCD reacted to Yuki's appearance when she shoplifted a zombified 'zilla . Megumi is several orders of magnitude more powerful than either Miho, Yuki or Moeko. Moeko is of course a special case since she's not been able to directly influence anything before her meeting with Erika.
So, the prudent thing for the TPCD to do is present Megumi with a nice gift basket full of her favorite snacks and things and welcome her with as much sincerity as they can muster
A part of a kitsune's nature is to be mischievous, so they do oppose 'Stability' ;>Roamer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 6:16 pmOr an overwhelming first strike before she can figure out how powerful she is.

And a powerful antagonist may in fact be one of the prerequisites for a nine-tail to appear. And a very good reason for the TCPD to play nice. "Um...hello there...please accept this gift with our compliments, we're busy checking our scanners to figure out who you're here to stomp on. Please don't be us."

She'll never replace 'The Lady with 1000 tails' for me, but I would definitely offer up some strawberry flavored mochi ice cream at her Shinto shrineInvisigoth wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 8:54 pm
Megumi is effectively a new goddess and she deserves worshipers, at least I'm wanting to see that
Just based on what we've seen, I would think that worshippers would creep her out. Of course, it has been a rough year for her...but I think she's too level headed to think actual worshippers are ever a good idea. Once she realizes what she is and then calms down, the first thing shel'll be asking the older manytails about will be how to do really good illusions.maldrul wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 9:01 pmShe'll never replace 'The Lady with 1000 tails' for me, but I would definitely offer up some strawberry flavored mochi ice cream at her Shinto shrineInvisigoth wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 8:54 pm

Mischievous yes, but I think it's worthwhile to note that they aren't flat out agents of chaos, like Coyote or Loki. They're tricksters, but they don't want to break society, just whack it on the nose when it gets too full of itself. Or doesn't take care of business, which requires that someone like a nine-tail to step in and smack things back into order...mischievously, of course.
We've seen flash of ears and tails on Megumi before, like in panel 1 of [1545] and panel 7 of [1551]. But now they appear to be fully visible, rather than just occasional flashes when she got upset.
Or they could just track down a nice guy to set her up with. Some times all you really need is someone who gets you, and you can tell to "Deal with him. He's your son." and stomp off to go have a hot bath.Roamer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 6:16 pmOr an overwhelming first strike before she can figure out how powerful she is.

I'm pretty sure Dom and Ed are still singleVoyager wrote: ↑Tue Nov 17, 2020 4:30 pmIn fact, I just realized how to do it too: set her up with a minder who is about her age, single, scores high in empathy, and is unquestioningly loyal to the TPCD. Bonus if he competes at a high amateur level in at least one martial art, but if he's TPCD, he has to be proficient in them, and I'm sure she'd be very happy to encourage it.
Advise him to maintain close contact with her, especially during her adjustment to the new situation, and then first, advise both of them that close relationships are discouraged, then keep sending agents who ended up happily married to their targets to interact with them in both official and unofficial settings.
