+1 Menreiki

[theexpressivepokerface]

Hello again, HH! I am Reslari, and some of you may remember me from the last time I was here. I played a grumpy old ladyoni by the name of Kasen, who had kind of a short shelf life.

Now I've got a much better and less grumpy old youkai whom might as well be a young youkai that's one of the newest characters inducted into the Touhou fold! Her name is Hata no Kokoro and she'll make your kokoro melt because Kokoro is kinda adorable.

She's a Menreiki, which is a type of tsugumogami. Her original form is 66 masks that were given to the father of Kagura dance (which eventually became Noh) Hata no Kawakatsu. However, she doesn't get to be masks here, instead she gets stuck in her humanoid form that...

... Well she barely has any facial expressions without her masks, so good luck to your characters on reading her mood~!

Anyway, she'll be living at 1465, so get ready for the house to be full of creepy masks, guys!

While Kokoro is no mean old hermit bent on forcing the love of money out of pure and innocent shrine maidens, happy to have more Touhous~

[theexpressivepokerface]

Weehee~

Yeah Kasen didn't work out, but a more social character should!

[failblazer]

Reading the mood is Mokou's specialty.

Welcome back!

[theexpressivepokerface]

Mokou is gonna get slammed so hard when Kokoro gets her ability back. :D

[failblazer]

What why she didn't even do anything!

[theexpressivepokerface]

Yet

[failblazer]

She hasn't even spilled the beans about grumpypants yet! That's dedication!

[theexpressivepokerface]

... Kasen would appreciate it but Kasen no longer has capacity to give any fucks.

THOUGH SHE DOES HAVE AN ONI MASK.

Welcome back!

Nue agrees with having more youkai around. Even if she doesn't know them. She even has a solution for the lack of expressions. It's called a Sharpie.

[theexpressivepokerface]

Don't sharpie her face!!1!

[unidentifiedandfantastic]

But it washes off! Eventually.

[theexpressivepokerface]

No Nue nooooooooooooooooooooo...


... I don't even think Kokoro would know what to do. "What am this?" basically.

[unidentifiedandfantastic]

Kokoro should totally draw smiley faces on a notepad or something.

If Nue ever gets her drunk, that totally needs to happen.

[theexpressivepokerface]

If she ever learns what emotes are in text messages she will abuse the hell out of them. I mean, do the really fancy Japanese ones you see around, and not just like :D

Though you're right that totally needs to happen~.

[shipwrecking]

HI AGAIN JADE.

[histories]

... Oh god, I figured we'd get a Kokoro soon enough (especially considering how cute she is) but I never thought it'll be this quick...

Welcome back~

[theexpressivepokerface]

It was very fast. I was determined to be the first to play her.
