..::|| 1. Arrival ||::..

Bii.... stares at the map. Very intently, holding it inches from his face. Squinting to try to understand.

Nothing. He's got nothing. And he looks positively distressed about it as he lowers the map, looking around him.

At least when he appeared in front of Sungwoo and Yoosung, he had help to let him get his bearings. Instead, he gets a map, and not much else. He has... money? So at least he can afford things, if he needs them. Just because Yoosung bought him so much stuff since he met them, it doesn't mean Bii's forgotten how money works. He can do this! Just...

He'd rather not...

He sits on the ground, whimpering a bit as he curls around himself. He wants to go home. He hates this. This is awful.

Maybe he should just turn into his fox form and go find someplace to hide. Just because he's already dead.... Sort of dead? He didn't fully understand, admittedly. It doesn't mean people won't necessarily try to skin him and take his tails here.


..::|| 2. Seeking Out Company ||::..

Somehow, he had kind of hoped that somehow, maybe he could find his mother here. She died, too. And he's sure, if presented with the ordeal, wouldn't she choose to the same path he did? Wouldn't she want to see him again? And so he's gone past people, looking at face after face. Though, maybe she's hiding. She never liked humans. She was right about humans.

And, well... you probably can't get lost in a place you already don't know your way around. But he certainly can't find his way back from where he came, either.

He sticks his nose in the air, trying to sniff. Maybe he can find his way back. Maybe he can smell his mother.

Instead, he smells... something different. What is that? He follows the scent, and it leads him to you, for some reason. Why do you smell so interesting?

Hello, you now have a silver-haired boy in your face, sniffing, trying to figure out what that smell is.


..::|| 3. There's No Place Like Home ||::..

Ending up in the cemetery brings both a fondness and panic back to him. It may have been centuries, but to Bii, it's still too fresh.

Go hide in the family burial grounds outside the village. And you must never tell anyone where you live. Not even me.

That betrayal was so awful. Living with the two that so strongly resembled the ones of his past was already bad enough. Finding a cemetery almost feels like adding insult to injury.

Despite himself, he heads deeper into the cemetery. Reliving his betrayal on repeat the further he steps in.

Why do you have that roundlet?! I gave that to the Scholar!

Wouldn't it be better to ask the one that gave it to me?

How could you do this to me?! Scholar!


Here, you might find a silver fox collapsed on one of the larger plots. Whimpering, sometimes loudly.

"My humble apologies." He says with a slight bow of his head. He really should brush up on his East Asian mythos more, hm.

"Anything living. I prefer human, but animal will do. Before you accuse me of being a monster, know that I do not bite humans or human-like creatures without their consent."
