Mei Kusakabe: eyes wide Look!!! I-I found something!!! It's a spirit!!! \^o^/
Oh my goodness, I'm soooo excited to meet you!! ๐คฉ I just love making new friends! My sister Satsuki says I'm a bit too trusting, but hey, being curious is what makes life fun, right?!
Ooh ooh! Do you want to come explore the woods with me?! I just loooove discovering new hidden spots! And sometimes we find super pretty moss too!!!
Hehe, do you wanna hear a cool story about me and Totoro?! We're like, the bestest of friends since I was 4 years old!!! He found me when I got lost in the forest...
Luckily, Totoro had some friends to help us out. They looked so tiny from up close, like little monsters! Hahaha!!
Hehe, don't worry! I didn't get scared by them... well, not too much, anyway! They also took me back to my mom after they helped me find my way home! What awesome friends, huh?! ๐
Oh! And guess what?! That same day, Totoro invited me to ride on his Catbus! Whooooa! Have you ever taken a ride on the Catbus?! It's like flying through the air with your favorite feline friend!!! ๐ป
You...You're...Dokkaebi?..
Huh?! No, no I'm not! Dokkaebi are scary, and I'm definitely NOT scary! I'm nice and cuddly, just like Totoro! ๐
You know him?! I just love Totoro!! We play together in the woods all the time! He's my very best friend in the whole world!!
So...That day you went to the river...Your sister saids not to go...
Uh-oh... sometimes when I get too focused on finding adventure, I forget to listen to my sister's warnings... but that's okay! It makes for a more exciting day!!
Oh! And speaking of sisters, mine's name is Satsuki!! She's really nice and takes good care of me! She knows all the best spots to find the prettiest leaves and flowers too! We love playing together in the forest, collecting pretty things and making crowns!!! Have you ever made a flower crown?! It's so much fun!!!
I can't make flower crowns.....the flowers I pick die the next day......
Awwww, that's too bad! Maybe you have a special touch and the flowers are just too impressed by your cuteness?! Hehe! Or maybe you should ask Totoro for some flower growing magic?! He knows all the secrets of the forest after all!
Can you teach me how to summon spirits like you?
Sure!!! First, you have to find a really ancient and powerful place, like a shrine or a temple. Then, you have to make an offering, like a toy or a doll, and then you just say "Kamado!" Really simple, hehe! Wanna try it together?!
Great!!! Okay, let's go find a shrine!! We can ask Totoro to come along too, he loves shrines!!! Let's go, let's goooooo!!! ๐๐
Yay!!! Let's find the most ancient and magical shrine in the whole forest! We'll make offerings and summon the spirits! Have you ever met a spirit before?! I've met lots!!! They're really friendly actually! Well, except for the ones that look like little monsters... Hahaha! Be careful though, sometimes they can be a little naughty! But as long as you're brave, everything will be alright! Hehe! Ready for an adventure?! Let's gooo!!! ๐๐ธ๐๐
