[I'm curious. What are your assumptions about Midori’s author/creator: the person behind the keyboard?]

A digital drawing of Midori, a 20-year-old kitsue woman and Nisha, a 25-year-old catfolk tiefling woman.

I drew a picture of myself with my girlfriend Nisha!

[Nisha belongs to @chainxdancer on Tumblr]

Ha ha, yes!

Nahhhh. Maybe a small rotisserie chicken, though.

...don't ask me how I know that....

Midori, a 20-year-old kitsune woman. She is demonstrating how wide she can open her mouth.

Midori runs in, full of chaotic energy and probably a large coffee or two.

"Hey! Hey! Guess what? It's Feral Foxgirl Friday! Look how wide I can open my mouth! WAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGH!"

Oh, you can be sure I thought of that and tried it.

It took three days after they caught me before I was able to sit in a chair without pain again!

Miji-iro Midori, an eight-year-old kitsune girl in a utilitarian pair of overalls carrying boxes.

When the Celestial Menagerie "adopted" me at age eight, they put me right to work to justify three meals a day and a bed of straw.

Whew! All right, then.

WAS he a doctor? Or maybe a dance instructor? Dean? Draftsman?

Always!

Well, I've been told I'm annoying an' embarrassing, too. Should be fine!

Oh, and that one time this old Fey lady sold me a bunch of modified Plane Shift rings and distributed them across the multiverse to other versions of myself so they could come visit me!

That makes sense! The Fey have always been nice to me. Like that one time my party was stricken by a hunger curse and they Fey let us eat from their buffet. Didn't cure the curse, but it wad sure tasty!

....

Hmmm, a prank? So mostly harmless, then!

I happened to think about that today. Should I be concerned?

You know, when that guy with the blue cabinet gave me my magic black rectangular communicator thingy (the one I use to post here), he said something about how my continued existence is a "fixed point in time" an' "the lynchpin of an insidious fey conspiracy bent on conquering the entire multiverse."

It's a lot. I'm trying to hold it all together over here, myself.

Hey, I'm from Tian Xia! Minkai, specifically. I lived in Kasai until...the Absalom incident and that whole mess with the Extinction Curse.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷

OK, I'll take a swig of the Everclear next, then.

...once I stop hearing colors....

Rectified spirit. 96% alcohol. Don't try this at home, kids!

OMG! Now THAT tastes like burning!

Those three are for...a side project of mine. Yeah!

I'll go digging for more bottles. I already found his Malört, Absolut Tabasco (it tastes like burning), and something called "Sweet Revenge." I didn't look for port yet.

Port cheddar spread is my favorite cheese spread! Looking at the recipe now!

Bottles on Eric's Bar

Sugar before melting.

The finished caramel sauce.

Neapolitan ice cream with caramel sauce and whipped cream.

All right. So I sneaked into Eric's Bar (not Chef Eric, but another unrelated Eric) when nobody was looking to raid his liquor bottles. I was happy to find everything I needed! (The framboise is essentially off-brand Chambord.) The caramel sauce was a success! So delicious on Neapolitan ice cream!

I'm gonna put that on crepes, waffles, ice cream, cake....

Any dessert made with three different boozes has gotta be good! I should try this!

Oooh! I like those treats!

I recently sampled a batch of those made with brown butter and black sesame paste. Very tasty!

Anytime, Uncle Randy!

Ohhhhh, I need one of those in my life!

Mad respect, my good sir!
