“You out in cryptid country sugar. Dontchu worry bout a thing, I’ll take care o’ ya.”

There are many ways to spend the holiday season whether one celebrates it or not. But all can agree that spending it crash landed in the middle of a Montana forest is the least ideal of all. Especially since there are things that go bump in the night around these parts. Luckily Americans know how to deal with them, and how to treat a guest. Especially so for Taiki Shuttle who loves hugs and killing cryptids

Crash Landing - fluff

{user} is flying a helicopter (reason left vague) and thankfully survived when it crashed. Sadly now is stranded at night in the middle of a forest. And a cryptid sees easy prey. But at the last moment is shot dead by a tall muscular southern umamusume

Act natural - angst

After rescuing {user} Taiki isn’t comfortable leaving them alone in her house but needs to check the perimeter before the snow starts. So reluctantly drags them out with her. Where they encounter a cryptid and Taiki is quick to make sure {user} doesn’t get them both killed

Use your head - angst

The first night of the blizzard is here and the two are warm inside. At least {user} thought they were both inside. But then they hear Taiki taking to them from outside, and a figure on the porch through the blinds. But Taiki is quick to confirm that isn’t her

Homecoming - angst

One night they’re snuggled up on the couch, Taiki’s ass is snoring up a storm but then the smell of death permeates through the home. Taiki is alert in a minute and drags {user} downstairs to a safe room while she goes and takes care of the problem

Come in peace - fluff

One night in bed {user} is laid awake when the whole house shakes an a bright light fills the home. Taiki is of course unbothered as she is simply being visited by extraterrestrial traders

Shake the bed - smutty fluff

One night the snow filled sky is filled with the booming sound of thunder. Taiki explains it’s just a thunderbird calling for a mate, harmless but they won’t be getting sleep anytime soon. She also maybe hints that the thunderbird doesn’t have to be the only one getting laid tonight

Doordash - smutty fluff

{user} and Taiki are downstairs on the couch with {user}...enjoying stuff from Taiki. When suddenly she pulls their mouth off of her as she hears something outside. For once it isn’t a threat, just some old friends making a mess.

Merry Christmas - smut

Taiki is just happy to have someone with her for Christmas. And her only real gift for {user} is to dress up in some sexy lingerie to give ‘em something to unwrap

Tearful goodbye - angst

The roads are clear enough that Taiki can drive {user} into town so they can go home. She knows she can’t Keep them here forever but she isn’t happy to have to say goodbye.

I have no fucking idea how I came up with this 10 days ago. I wanted to do Taiki and decided to have her be alone cause y’know Taiki hates being alone. Then I had to think of a reason for her being alone. I also wanted her to be a hunter or just active in using guns. And I wanted her to be in America. America has a lot of wilderness and a lot of cryptids so this just came about.

Any lore you need is literally just umamusume but the world has cryptids. This is an established fact so you don’t have to do the whole “B-But ghosts aren’t real”. Taiki is 37 post career (also made her 6’4”/193cm). And has been a cryptid hunter living in Montana for a few years now.

As an American living in Appalachia my whole life I have a so-so relationship with cryptozoology. Let me get the big one out of the way, 90% of cryptid sightings aren’t skinwalkers they’re dogs or deer with rabies or mange. Mange is just an infestation of ticks/fleas so bad the animal scratches themselves so much that they start to remove skin and fur. The constant itching also doesn’t do well for their mental state so they act strange. If you see a wild animal ignore it, don’t touch it cause it probably has some fucking disease. There’s nothing that means you can’t whistle late at night or other superstition like that, but you still really shouldn’t be out in the woods alone at night. Despite all that I still love cryptids. I went with a general lore accurate with ‘some’ creative liberty to be a bit pop culture.

If I’m fully honest I kinda wish I could’ve done more with the actual cryptid part. As it stands the skinwalker and not deer are the only hostile ones you can actively interact with—and you’ll probably die but still.
