[h2]Dirt Road[/h2] Hm. Lying face down...? That was a very unusual position to be waking up in. It also felt like the [i]floor[/i], which... might explain it? Although, if it was after some work drinking party, then surely there should also be a splitting headache to go with it? Plus, being en route from Japan to New York rather ruined the odds of [i]that...[/i] Standing up, Hikari was forced to take in rather a lot of things. Well, there was the strangely-huge man shouting at her, that was one thing. The next was... Hm. Why [i]was[/i] she dressed as a maid? Was this some sort of joke? That would be annoying. Her tails twitched in irritation. Wait. Tails? Twisting a little-- Yes, tails. Plural. Counting them was quite hard, and being able to [i]feel[/i] them didn't make it the easiest, but... nine. Nine tails. And her ears had migrated. Honestly, the other changes seemed less important than now having [i]nine[/i] tails. No wonder this dress felt like it was sitting oddly... not that she had experience of that before this, but she would have expected it to hang more about her legs. Having all these behind her... yes, that explained it. Right, so she was now a maid. And a fox. And... probably young? Or maybe very old? Either one could fit. Now, she should address this person that had been telling her to get up. "Ah, I apologise, I was distracted by how much my body has changed," the small fox said, bowing. Steven [i]probably[/i] wasn't expecting the proper introduction he then got. Although a flicker of irritation passed over her face at not being able to hand over... something.
