> Mushroom: Quickly retrieve ... uh ... damn.
Yeah, that's gonna be a tough one, huh?
> Mushroom: Send spores into the air.
What do you think you've been doing all day!? Oh, wait, that's right -- you're a goddamn
MUSHROOM. You
can't think.
It
is rare for
FANTASTICALLY ADEQUATE RED EXPLOSION SHROOMS to release spores. But you are aware of none of this, inasmuch as you are aware of nothing.
> Obey the inscrutable exhortations of your spores.
Like most
MUSHROOMS, you are unable to comprehend what that means, and even if you did, you would have no idea how to even spell "
EXHORTATIONS" or "
INSCRUTABLE." So you just sit there while the leftover
ICE SHARDS melt due to the
FAIRY MAGIC wearing off.
> Mushroom: Become a mushroom youkai.
You feel something changing within you. Which is particularly odd, because
MUSHROOMS aren't supposed to feel anything!

Along with sapience, via
WEIRD MAGIC SHIT, you appear to have gained some other knowledge -- enough to function in the
YOUKAI equivalent of civilization, in fact. This includes a reasonable grasp of the
JAPANESE and
ENGLISH languages. Most of the other knowledge seems to be distorted and/or confused, however. All you know for sure is that until just now, you were a mindless little
MUSHROOM, but you have now become a
YOUKAI. You are also aware that there were a bunch of people you could send
COMMANDS to, but now you can't. Reasoning that an intelligent being must have a name, you decide to name yourself! No, you aren't going to ask for advice from anyone else! You're going to come up with a name for yourself all on your own!
You are now
MASHA KINOKO. You are not precisely a
TSUKUMOGAMI, though you came into existence by a similar mechanism; it is more accurate to say that you are a
MUSHROOM YOUKAI. You had no plans for today, because you had no mind until just now. You were previously able to influence the actions of several other beings in and around the
FOREST OF MAGIC, and you
think that the mechanism for doing this may have involved
SPIRITS of some sort, but it's rather vague; not only are you now
MASHA KINOKO, one could say that you always have been.
What will you do first?
