Kitsune Chaos

Author's Notes

How could I not? I'm obsessed with kitsunes at the moment and this is one of my coursework pieces for English, all of eight words over the word limit.

I decided to post this in three parts to separate the narrative, I used asterisks in the original manuscript (which is five drafts long) but thought that would look strange when I could chapter it.

I have a funny story about how I came to decide Koji's name. It was a toss-up between Gin (pronounced with a long guh sound rather than the alcoholic beverage) or Koji (ko-she) so I asked the people on my table what name they preferred. Kirstin somehow came to the conclusion that Koji sounded like something relating to soy sauce. Long story short, she liked soy sauce over gin and tonic.

I also asked the people on my table to give me a list of pranks they liked. The complete list includes:

Putting flour in a hairdryer

The classic cling film on the toilet seat

Laying a tripwire made of floss

I thought of putting a bucket on top of a doorway and filling it with cold baked beans

Gluing money to the floor

I got the idea of putting garlic cheese from a Black Veil Brides interview in my friend's Kerrang! magazine when Andy put it in their touring manager's pillow before he went to sleep so he woke up smelling of garlic and cheese.

The one I couldn't include was the one with the funniest story. Basically Vicky said you need a bunkbed. When the person on the bottom bunk goes to sleep you cover all the posts with masking tape (or duct tape, I like duct tape) but leave a hole near the top. Throw a smoke bomb through the hole and yell "Fire!". Watch them try to escape.

For those still unsure what a kitsune is, the external link takes you to the FreeDictionary page on them (I was finding definitions for Kirstin, she said Urban Dictionary can't be trusted).
