you are allowed to carry knives in the uk but you either need to have a "good reason" to be carrying, e.g. you're a chef travelling to or from work, or for everyday carry purposes they need to have a blade less than 3", fold, and have no locking mechanism.

the government is very gung-ho about knife crime, which is admittedly a problem but they are so showy about it - they're banning "ninja swords" now which have been used in approximately zero crimes

small bottle of hand sanitiser or wet wipes, microfiber cloth, bobby pins, hair ties or rubber bands, compact mirror, tiny sewing kit like the hotel amenity size ones, hard candy if you're confident ants won't attack your bag. i like multifunction pens with mechanical pencils in them. tampons or pads if you use them?

Woah, I went over two decades of life and never learned you can't carry knives in the UK. (But you probably don't need to jerry rig public accommodations on a semiregular basis either hehe)

For dental purposes, I also pack miswack sticks into my go-bag instead of toothbrushes. (My thinking is "floss gets you 50% of the way there but I would also like to brush".)

The idea is that you cut the bark at the end and chew on it for dental hygiene. When the end gets dirty, you can just cut off the half inch and get a fresh half inch.

But they're plastic shrink-wrapped, cheap, and you can also use them with toothpaste if you want.

Leatherman makes the good swiss army knives and I keep getting use of it. Adds weight but doesn't take much volume!

I also keep art wire and floss with me, which have come in useful (wire) in highschool for picking poorly made doorlocks and (floss) for flossing.

hmm maybe portable recharging pack. chapstick/moisturiser/sunscreen. if you take antidepressants or other medications every day it might be handy to have a day's worth just in case. face masks. some paper to write on. a little comb. maybe tweezers or some other swiss army knife type tool can be helpful to have around.

actually nevermind, the redirects get max-age=0, must-revalidate in their Cache-Control, which makes this whole endeavor pointless because the browser will never cache the redirect :\

u/nitori

As she is an engineer she is very interested in products made by the humans of the outside world. She takes such products apart and puts them back together in order to understand them. However, she has trouble creating magical tools of any sort. She is fond of selling her inventions and other things such as Fish as her story mode in Hopeless Masquerade details her attempts at running a stand before getting sucked into the battle. According to Hina Kagiyama, she is also somewhat of a leader figure for the kappa.[2]

Akyuu makes a note that kappa, historically, have had an trait called tsuuhai (通背), which means their arms are connected inside their body and they can stretch one arm by retracting the other. However, it is said that they are actually just using tools to make it seem as though their arms stretch.[1] In Wild and Horned Hermit chapter one, Reimu receives a "kappa's arm" that ends up being a mechanical arm. In Hopeless Masquerade, Nitori is also seen using several arm-like machines to attack.

u/nitori

Her ability to manipulate water is inherent in the fact that she is a kappa, and has nothing to do with the myriad tools she uses. No one knows the true extent of this power, but she has been seen to use it to shoot water, create fountains, perform theatrical tricks and even summoning colossal tidal waves.

Nitori is a shy kappa by nature and if she is alone and sees a human, she'll run away, like in Mountain of Faith. She considers herself to be superior to humans and even other youkai and when she's by herself it's easy to see. However, when among her own circle of friends, she is quite cheerful. As a kappa, she is easily persuaded to leave you alone by a cucumber or two. However, she has a greedy side when it comes to running a stand and is quick to come up with plots to maximize profit.
