So Thanksgiving is coming up, at least for the country I was living in for a long time.

For those of you who don't know, there's a historical basis behind it but the main idea nowadays is to get together with family and friends, stuff your faces, watch sports, and think of things you're thankful for.

So, tower residents. What are you thankful for?

I'm thankful to still have some of my friends here with me, and all of the new ones I've met here too.

I think I'd rather be the one playing games than watching them on television.

That's great!

I'm not really much of a sports person. Unless ambushing oni and demanding piggyback rides counts as a sport.

[boxingemperor]

You've done that?

[Because that sounds like something Akihiko would do. Maybe.]

[hachitaro]

[Well it's not punching bears, but.]

Yeah. The faces they make are hilarious.

[boxingemperor]

What I'd do to see that. Sounds like a fun challenge.

[hachitaro]

It helps when you can shapeshift to being small enough to avoid their claws.

[boxingemperor]

Shapeshift?

[hachitaro]

I'm a tanuki! (≧∇≦)/☆

[boxingemperor]

A real tanuki?

[How can you use the network? And type for that matter. Are the old folktales true? Maybe in a different version of his world. The tower is full of surprises each day, it seems.]

[hachitaro]

Yep! As real as you are, buddy. We tend to blend in, but here I don't have to!

[boxingemperor]

[Well, here he thought they were just little furry animals and nothing more.]

They'd probably still find you if you could.

[hachitaro]

No one found me out for over a hundred years. I think I've gotten pretty good at hiding.

[boxingemperor]

[What? Does that mean...?]

So the administration here has never gotten their hands on you?

[Well, aside from bringing him here.]

[hachitaro]

... Well they have.

I meant at home.
