saw a really good opportunity for Localizing The Joke:

"I'm September! I'm a nine-tailed fox who's been on the immortality grind for two hundred years. I'm currently trying to integrate into modern human society – y'know, job, money, all that."

"Sure, the whole 'nine-tailed fox' premise is wearing a bit thin... I mean, just look at what this ugly swirling bloom of tails looks like from behind... it's like... like an ✻AI startup logo!✻"

"Attaining immortality is really hard work, but I'm clever enough to make good progress. And I think I'm pretty well-integrated with modern culture..."

(The unlocalized joke is that she looks like a chrysanthemum.)

four comic panels of a small white fox introducing herself, smugly showing you her tails, putting on glasses, and the punchline is that she's sitting at a computer desk covered with old food wrappers and Miku figurines

I believe this was first published in 2015 so I'm also localizing across time to the 2020s hellscape 😂

also it really bothers me that her name is "the ninth moon" which is September but that means the seventh month so her name should be November but that's the eleventh month. a curse on the Romans
