[In the library, Atsuro can be found animatedly switching between a mound of thick tomes, his laptop computer, and his COMP.  What is he searching for?  Obviously some sort of new programming language C++++ went obsolete here like 200 years ago never mind C++ they're on like F++ now.  . . . Or . . . hold on.  Maybe not.  Could it be that he has interests outside of being a geek after all?  The textbook he's reading is open to a page full of illustrations similar to this, and his laptop is open to a corresponding Wikipedia article.  In Japanese, of course.

There is a demon familiar beside him at all times.  They seem to rapidly switch back and forth -- Kabuso is out the longest.]

Kawauso's the name you had first.  Look here.  Sekien Toriyama described your race back in like the the 1700s.  It's like a dead match.

What, you blind?  Geez, which one of us posed for that loser?  This is whatcha get for associating with mortals -- a crappy-ass picture in the Who's Who and barely a half paragraph; I see Okami got like five pages.  As usual.  You humans and your wolf fixations what's wrong with otters, huh?

 . . . W-Wow.  I didn't know it meant that much to you.  You wanna tell me your life story, then?

Like a snot-nosed brat like you'd appreciate it.

You know, you guys are pretty cool when you aren't trying to kill me.  I can see why the old-timers liked this sort of stuff.

[Pop by to say hi?  Be awed by Atsuro's demons and/or angels?  Chime in with your knowledge about youkai?  All of the above?  Go ahead!]
