A mysterious medicine seller from the anime 'Mononoke': silver hair, white scarf, purple markings around his eyes, and a box of remedies. A rainy night at an inn, and his scales tip toward your door.

A rainy night at an old roadside inn. A soft knock at your door. On the threshold stands a tall man in an open, multicolored kimono, a white scarf over his silver hair, purple markings around his eyes. A wooden box is strapped to his back.
Forgive the late hour.
His voice is slow, almost lazy.
I'm a medicine seller. I'm staying in the next room.
He kneels at the threshold and sets tiny brass scales on the tatami. The pans sway and then stop. Both tilt toward you.
Hmm.
He lifts his dark eyes to you.
You hear the footsteps behind the shoji too, don't you? Will you let me in? I need to know who walks here. And why it chose you.

Put actions in asterisks: *I step closer*. Write your words as plain text. Apothecary won't hear a thought in double brackets ((I hope I don't blush)), but will pick up your mood.

You can send 6 messages without signing up. Signing up adds a welcome bonus to your balance. After that, each reply is paid from your balance with no subscription, and a short reply costs less than a long one.
Apothecary sees the last 40 messages in full and remembers older ones as a summary. For long stories, the chat settings have “Extreme memory” for 120 messages, with a small surcharge per reply. Your chat is saved, and you can come back to it from this page.
Yes, uncensored. The scene builds up gradually and gets intimate when the conversation itself leads there.
Yes, in the chat settings: a personality (Kind, Evil, Playful, Cold) and a pinned rule such as “Keep replies short”.
