You Otter Like This.

Today's Yokai is the Kawauso, or River Otter. As with most animals in Japan, they develop magical powers when they reach old age. These meter-long, cute & furry otters are playful and mischievous. (Like me!) They love sake and often play pranks hoping to score some. Some occasionally turn into beautiful women trying to score in other ways with gullible males. Warning sometimes these encounters turn violent and the dudes end up as half-eaten corpses floating in the river.

The nice thing is that I can eat its guts. Hopefully it'll last long enough to take to school on Monday to show off.

Tomorrow I'm driving for a few hours to Morioka for a wedding, so I'm off to bed early. Let's see if I can get into some mischief after the nuptials...
