>Did we hear what kind of youkai she was? If so:
>Shake head. "Not as far as I know. She's supposed to be some kind of plant youkai. I think. I couldn't get more than rumor back in the city."
>Dai never specified, though she certainly didn't imply she was a werewolf, either. A plant youkai of some kind would make sense in context.
>Gwen shrugs again. "Don't think I can help ya there, sorry."
>"Here you go!" Jess chirps brightly, having reappeared beside you with a tankard of water. She deposits it upon the table with more force than strictly necessary, grinning all the while. "On the house!" She snickers.
>What do we know of werewolves?
>They are a kind of were-youkai - humans who periodically gain some wolf aspect, typically during nights of the full moon. They're pretty rare and you've never met one, though you've heard they can be prone to fits of violence when transformed. Sounds a bit like an oni on every
other night, if you're frank. You believe their nature is due to some kind of 'curse', and one that can be transmitted to other humans somehow, though you're uncertain the mechanism of this; it can't happen very often, either, or there ought to be a heck of a lot more of them around. You vaguely recall someone saying they were much more common in the more distant past, but the source of that fact isn't coming to mind.
