"Kekeke..." Maneki pulled out a large meat bun from his pocket, and he did so as he continued to walk through the muddy pathways, looking for a hotspot such as perhaps a town or a marketplace. Right when Maneki was about to consume the said meat bun, a cat hopped from nowhere and snatched it (which was ironic... stealing from what should have been MORE SUPERIOR); Maneki was quick enough to pull the black cat's tail but despite his efforts, the cat escaped his grasp and ran towards a nearby house, entering the cat door that was small enough for only pets to enter. "DAGNABBIT, FIORE," ah, yes. What else is a better choice than blame a whole country for your misfortune? Maneki screamed that out loud, and in the Fiorian language too, because he really needed to blame anything else than the cat—he also didn't notice that the lights had started to lit up. Carved pumpkin and lanterns—they illuminated the cob webs of the graves, as well as the haunted house that the black cat had entered.
The Nekomata clapped twice, "Oh yes, we will be chasing my kind tonight," he acted egotistic on purpose, because Maneki knew that there was NO WAY he was going to enter a haunted, abandoned house like that. He needed someone—or something...? Maneki's eyes looked for a living entity, and eventually spotting one (which is, the character Maneki will be roleplaying with!), in which the Nekomata would automatically approach to land on their back, doing what is known as becoming the "clingy demon cat that will act nice to get what they want and betray their owner". Maneki wouldn't let go because he'd have his claws digging in the new owner's clothing regardless if those said garments were expensive or not.
"Hey, hey, it's adventure time. Now, new slave! Walk north, then east, to that house over there."
