BlizzThe bath was delightful enough that Umiko decided to stay. And so she stayed... for a rather long time. It would have appeared that, being a fish, Umiko found simply existing to be more pleasant while submerged under water. She also soon found out she still needed to breath air like the normal surface dwellers, though could momentarily use her magic to give herself gills again, which made her feel more comfortable. Of course, they were inconvenient every time she resurfaced- not like she needed to. After a long while, Umiko finally got hungry and decided to leave the bath, wondering whether or not Ayame had finished cooking.
The girl rose from the water, her body dripping. A part of her felt dry, as if she weren't even in the water in the first place. Then, Umiko deduced the reason why. She looked down at her hands and feet to see that her skin was incredibly wrinkled. True to a land based creature, she got wrinkly after a long time spent in the water- a process which had escaped her mind. Quickly, she used her magic to restore the water in her body, returning it to its normal state, before getting out of the tub, once again drying herself using her magic.

Umiko inside Ayame's house taking a bath
It was still puzzling to Umiko what a bath was. That was until she saw the water filling into the tub. How strange a thing for Umiko to witness, especially with the water so hot? Did this Ayame person expect Umiko to simply get in? Was Ayame thinking about eating Umiko?
Umiko stared at the water then shifted her glance to the fire next to it. For some reason, she couldn't put away the thought that Ayame wanted to boil her alive. Cautiously, Umiko took a step toward the tub. She thought about it for a second, then took another step. Umiko eventually grew just enough gall to nervously put her hand in the water, quickly retracting because of the heat. "Ah!" Umiko shook her hand, a few droplets of water.
Umiko turned her head angrily, expecting to yell at Ayame, only to find that she was gone. Umiko sat alone in the room with a puzzling stare directed towards the wall. "Huh?" Umiko turned her attention back to the tub, slowly climbing in, feet first. As she shifted her weight, however, Umiko simply fell in, a bit of water splashing out. "Ah! Ah! Ah!" she splashed around in the water before stopping and realizing how shallow it was. It wasn't that hot either. In fact, to Umiko, it felt a little nice.
The youkai lounged down in the tub, relaxed as she bathed in the hot water.

Umiko with Ayame, Kiryu, Vosswald, and Alessia outside the village
A bath? Food? Clothes? As a fish, Umiko never found the necessity for the first and last items. The middle item, however, she was unsure of. At least until her stomach grumbled. Her look of bravery turned into a look of pain, as if she really needed to use the restroom. Umiko's face scrunched up toward Ayame before slowly returning back to its normal state. Umiko examined Ayame as if she were an alien from another planet, looking at her clothes, hair, and eyes as well as getting her scent. She looked and smelled different from the others Umiko had met so far. Of course, the three she had met before were also fairly strange. Umiko never understood humans, but it seemed that she'd have to learn about them and their strange culture soon enough.
Staring blankly at Ayame, Umiko nodded and followed the girl.

But what about my question?
"I-I'm um..." the little girl turned her head down blushing. As a fish, she never had a real name. Where did she come from? The sea of course! So maybe she would be from the sea. And her family name... she's a fish! So she's from the fish family. "I'm..." Umiko's tone shifted from timidness to slight confidence "I'm Umiko Gyorui!" She stood still boldly, still holding onto Alessia's hand.
The youkai reached her tiny hands out to Kiryu's filthy shirt and put it on, assuming it must have been a custom to cover yourself. Umiko tied the arms of the cloth tightly around her neck before wrapping the rest of the shirt around her body in an elaborate way. She didn't know how she was doing, nor did she no how to wear a shirt. Nor did she know how to use her hands. Strange as it may be, however, Umiko managed to cover herself- or at least what mattered.
Umiko stared at Alessia, looking almost deeply perplexed in thought for a second before nodding in agreement. "Okay" she responded.

Hey GM, can you elaborate on the demons and how they work?
Umiko stood fully upward, standing a little less than 3'8". The girl was in fact naked, her long blue hair reached down to her waist, covering her chest and crotch. Being a ghost and a ghost of a fish, her stark nudity did not bother her nor did the smell, as she was always accustomed to the smell of fish having been one. Though, she wasn't so much bothered by a lack of clothes as much as that she was in fact dead. Umiko puffed up her cheeks and brought her lips to a pout. She had more of an angry expression. It seemed nobody knew what was going on, frustrating the girl even further. Umiko crossed her arms and stared at Alessia.
Myst said
I'm sorry Hakara but this rp has been closed to new characters. We have a lot of people now. But if people lose interest and drop out I will open it up again for new characters.
Two people have in fact dropped out already.
Umiko wiped her eyes to see three people stand before her. The little girl turned around with her new head to examine her surroundings. She was dead, and apparently her spirit was released from her body in the form of a young girl. Why the gods would ever choose to do something of such nature is beyond Umiko's comprehension. Next to her was a running river, salmon swimming up stream, some of them Umiko recognized. Another slow tear ran down her face. Umiko was not having the best of days.
She turned first to the red head with the hood, staring at the hooded woman's legs. "I-I dunno" Umiko sniffled, replying to the woman's question. The two bigger men appeared very intimidating to her and so she tried her best not to pay attention to them. Instead, she looked toward her corpse- the body of the fish which smelled slightly of pee. Umiko crawled towards her fish body, picking it up before releasing another wave of tears.
