    She couldn't remember when or why the last two had grown- all she could remember was the pain. For the past month or so, Midnightpaw had slipped in and out of the activities going on in Colouredclan, worried that her sore rear end would give way to another tail. Of course, there was no way she would keel over to that kind of pain in public, and with this in mind, she had become very skittish and withdrawn. Needless to say, there had been multiple false alarms, and she had ended up missing days at a time as a result, over worry of when her newest tail would arrive. Between the growing of her third and fourth tail, there had been a long silence. Wasn't she supposed to grow another one a while ago? Or was she supposed to only have three for the rest of her life? If so, then why did the pain in the base of her tails continue on? What was happening to her?
    Whenever she was out, she sat slowly, gently. The snow beneath her bottom welcomed and soothed her end, but the rest of her body shivered, so she tended not to stay outside without a blanket for too long. She favored her backside, as hilarious as it sounded. She had to be especially careful, for the time being.
    And then, it happened. Throughout the course of the week, she'd begun to notice an odd bump develop on her behind. If she showed someone, they'd probably think it was a swollen bug bite, or just a straight up tumor. However, it became a more defined shape as days passed, and Mids instinctually decided that it was time to hole up once again- for real, this time.
    In the middle of the night, hell struck, and she could hardly sleep a wink as her backside throbbed with pain. By morning, her fourth tail had fully developed, and with it came a massive headache. The same had happened with the third tail she had grown, and the tail before that, her eyes had hurt, though she could hardly remember it, having been so young at that age. With all the pain she was feeling, she was glad she had been born with a tail so she wouldn't have to live through more torment.


    *Now sporting her new tail, the fem dragged herself outside with a miserable expression. Her whole back end was sore, and probably would be for several days, so she thought to maybe find Cottoncandypaw to see if he would recommend any herbs to ease said pain. She took a step. Man, having a new tail attached to her would take some getting used to.

    "Midnight." Came his low voice as he dragged himself out of his cave and spotted his friend. "You don't look so good. Why's that?" He was kind of worried, and why wouldn't he be? He cared deeply for those he considered his friends, and to see them in pain made him depressed.

Maybe they had a tummy ache? She didn't want to think it was something worse, even going as far as to take a deep sniff to check for blood just to make sure. However, just as she was about to ask what was really wrong her eyes finally caught sight of the extra tail swinging behind Midnightpaw. "Whooooa, that's so cool! Can I touch it?" the little vulpine gasped in excitement, repositioning herself so she could get a better view of the forth appendage. She had no idea that it was the source of her pain but thankfully she asked before acting, saving the dark-furred femme from some accidentally inflicted agony. Unlike the older female Papika still only had one tail with no indication what so ever as to when a second would appear. There was no real way for her to know until it would actually happen either as such things had a tendency to vary from kitsune to kitsune.[/fancypost]

Nighttales would resound in a contemplative manner, drawing to a halt shortly after Vol had arrived, before his heterochromatic orbs would promptly shift towards Papika, as she noted the tail sprouting from Mid's spine: an extra one. "Oh, you grew a new one?" The serval inquired, quirking a fictional brow. He was certain that such was what it was, and the fact that Papika had been quick to pick up on its newfound presence only confirmed his assumption. "I'm guessing that's why you look so grim, then." He'd add, fictional brows knitting in a subtle concerned manner. "Want me to fetch Cottoncandypaw for you, Mid?"

    Fright usually thought of his friend Midnightpaw as a kitsune with just three tails. That was just what she looked like. Yet, he had read somewhere before that some kitsunes did grow more throughout their lifetimes up to a maximum of nine or so. The number of tails represented age or maybe it was knowledge or even...power? The former human had never been a kitsune so he had no idea.


    Yet, when the stallion pranced along to find a small congregation surrounding Mids, he halted and stole a closer glance. Her expression was strained. The way she walked, a little off balance. But from her backside flaunted a new tail. "Woah! Midnightpaw, is that normal, at least, for you? It's strange. I wonder if it hurts," pondering on his last statement due to the expression on the dark kitsune's face. Perhaps growing another appendage would be a painful process, but he only know a thing or two about losing an appendage (or two).

    Oh, friends were here now. Friends were great.
    Friends were here to see her look like trash in the buttcrack of the morning.
    With a tired smile, she yipped in response to Vol, "Yeah, I don't think I feel so great either." Before she could explain why, Papika had popped over with a smile as eager as ever. Oh, speaking of which, would the same ever happen to her? She only had one tail now, but would that change in the future? And more importantly- would it hurt for her as much as it hurt herself right now? Thoughts aside, she was certainly glad the pup had restrained herself from touching the cool new tail Mids had grown. It wasn't quite ready to be... fondled yet. "N-No!" she blurted. "I mean, well, not until a few days, anyways." The older kitsune couldn't help but give a sheepish look. "It kind of hurts right now." Looking to Nighttales, she couldn't help but feel a little proud, despite how odd having a new tail felt. She turned her body so they could see better, and so that Vol would be able to see why she looked like she was in such angst. Truthfully, she was always in angst. It just showed more in this instance. "Yeah, that'd be helpful," she hummed. "Having a new tail hurts... and I kind of have a headache, so I was planning to ask Cotton about that..."
    What Fright had read wasn't false. Although her eyes had hurt with the growing of her tail- which she thought was an oddly specific place to feel pain- she hadn't known that with pain came power. She still didn't know. They had seen her eyes, the way they occasionally changed colors. A spectrum of emotion, her true colors displayed in the windows to her soul. But what did this entail for the rest of her tails? She would probably never know. "I think it is," she replied, uncertain as usual. "I've grown two tails before, but it's been a while since then. I dunno how many more I'll grow." Eyes widening, she gave a near hysterical smile at the mention of pain. "Hurts? [size=6pt]Heheh,[/size] heck yeah, it hurts! Quite a lot, actually."

    "Hmm, growing more tails? Maybe you'll grow nine," truthfully, Spec didn't know how many you could grow, either. She stopped at nine. Then she decreased from nine tails. It was... jarring, to lose one, and her balance had adjusted a lot since then, but there were still times when she'd fall over from losing her balance. "It hurts, but it is nice... minus the fact that they get everywhere," she commented, frowning at the thought. Even eight tails was just too many. They got everywhere, but she appreciated her tails more, once she lost one of them.
