The subsection of Creation known locally as Tirra is supposedly mostly isolated from the rest of it, as part of a local divine scheme to win and fully, properly lock down this small section of existence. The idea was to build a new stronghold of Good, with a closed bubble where no Evil gods had any actual influence, with a cabal of mostly-aligned-with-each-other minor deities with interests on the one particular planet taking total control of their pocket marble of Creation and building it into a force of prosperity, learning, and all other such Good and Neutral things.

It's not going as well as could be hoped.

The Calamity was awful beyond all expectations, as cosmic powers far greater than the nine Light Gods Foresaw what was about to occur, Foresaw what the cabal was willing to pay and do for it, and took the chance to make it as expensive as possible out of spite and strategic denial of resources.

Thousands of years later, things are mostly still being cleaned up. Very few souls go to Judgement from here. Most of them are Reincarnated by a specialized metaphysical process the Light Gods have built here, if stripped of most of their memories beyond faint signs. (The reasons for this are many, and full of Godconcepts.) But part of the reason they get away with this, from Pharasma's perspective, is that they have made many sacrifices and pacts, limiting all but the barest interventions outside the bubble of Tirra.

But someone is poking their nose through the bubble.

And being watched. Subtly, by a jealous, Chaotic goddess who knows when some souls that are her favorites are being looked at, Mind Blank or no Mind Blank. Sanctum or no Sanctum.

She can't see the intruder directly. But she's watching the ripples and shadows of their actions closely.

Almost all of the most compatible souls are local Tirran-Kitsunes, more humanlike than Golarion's race of a similar aesthetic, but all with a touch of divine power, great compatibility with esoteric energies and malleability of form and thought, and already molded thrice over with complex, subtle, extensive soul-modification work. It's beautiful magic, if you have any true insight into it. Although the source is divine, and there are metaphorical flags left in for Tamamo the Fox Goddess to more easily see, each kitsune stands alone and independent, not at all drawing on divine power ongoingly, a one-time investment in an auto-reincarnating pseudo-demigoddess sort of existence.

The most favorable soul according to this divination is currently busy exterminating swarms of local Evil vermin in her quadrupedal form, none of which pose any real threat to her. She wields illusions as an additional limb, and moves with fluid grace.

Areelu will study her target carefully.  Her Greater Scrying will last nearly an entire day, and she can wait for an opportune moment.  She needs a moment where the Kitsune is alone without anything unusual going on around her.  When it looks like the moment is arriving she'll layer on all her usual buffs and many unusual ones besides, this is worth dipping into her stockpile of scrolls.

She exterminates vermin! She sneaks invisibly into town and buys food! She talks with a priestess at a shrine to local gods! She enters the Spirit World via a portal in a graveyard, a pseudo-astral not-quite-separate-plane, and jogs through there to exit hundreds of miles away! She goes to a cabin in the woods and plays with illusions for a while. She dances, bare, in the moonlight, and a faint touch of divinity fills the air. Eventually, she goes to sleep.

She studies the Kitsune carefully with all the detections she can fit through her scrying sensor, just to reduce the odds she has somehow been taken in by an illusion.  Then she prepares.  She casts spell in order from her longest duration spells to her shortest duration spell.  All the standard protections and some unusual ones, even ones that don't seem to have any apparent application in this scenario.  Divinations so she can identify any useful information, including true seeing, she'll be ready for any illusions.  Various enhancements to her skills and morale and luck. 

Finally she is ready.  Greater Teleport.  Dominate Monster.  A strict set of orders, given in the Kitsune's native language, forbidding both conscious and unconscious actions so thoroughly the Kitsune can only barely breathe of it's own accord.

As she gives the orders, her gaze sweeps over the room, her permanent Arcane Sight checking for any traps or notable magical items.  She'll grab the typical gear of the Kitsune for the eventual scenario of releasing her with her memory erased but ready to adventure.

Almost all of her usual gear is kept within what seems like a Bag of Holding built straight into her soul. The only thing to take is a set of clothes and a few scrolls. There are layered illusion defenses, to confuse and raise alarms. There is a single magical trap on the door, with what looks like a big dumb lightning bolt hooked to it. There's a small library of different objects with semi-permanent illusions hooked to them in inactive states.

Oi. Oi oi oi oi oi oi OI! Interdimensional kidnapping is Very Bad Juju. Especially of one of her cuties!

Across Tirra, dozens of foxes who were pretending to be mere flesh and blood get up and run and hiss and yowl and bark all at once, as Tamamo reacts in shock to this sudden, silent, invisible intrusion.

She DEMANDS that one of her closest foxes investigate AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, with a level of emotional panic and urgency that sees them obeying even as dubious as they are.

But it's far too late.

Areelu moves quickly, an order not to resist Areelu' magic, followed by a Greater Curse on the kitsune's ability to resist her magic, then an Interplanetary Teleport to get back to Golarion, and a Greater Teleport a moment later to get back to her oldest laboratory.  She will do the initial procedure immediately.  She begin preparations.  She was a few tricks she's picked up over the years from practicing fleshwarping and similar techniques to help the subject survive in optimal condition.  A Suggestion that the Kitsune can endure this successfully.  Another Suggestion that putting every bit of will into living will be worthwhile.  A Heroism.  A Greater Belt of Mighty Constitution.  She'll hold off on the cloak of resistance until just before the procedure itself in case she needs to use anything else to subdue or examine the subject.  She wakes the subject and uses a Detect Thoughts.

-She's not in her house. And a few moments of blank incomprehension resolve to great alarm when she tries to stand and cannot. She tries to leap to the Woods Between and cannot.

Nightmare? High-level monster? Some noble or heretic kidnapping her? This is all too much for one of her sisters' pranks, they've Charmed her before, this feels like something different-

Tamamo, you fucker, what's going on here?-

(Intelligence 14.)

Tamamo... that is one of the her planet's Gods.  Areelu's laboratory should be secure beneath her many wards and protections.

She speaks into her recording device in Halit "Desnus 17th, 4716 Absalom Reckoning.  Kitsune subject acquired, dominated with full restraints, cursed only in capacity to resist spells.  Subject is approximately two deviations above baseline mortals in intelligence, awake and alert, although disoriented as to be expected.  Subject attempted a casual prayer to a God of their planet".

She address the subject in its native language.  "Please communicate out loud clearly what you feel as you feel it to the extent that does not interfere with your breathing.  Please only scream as is beneficial to coping with the pain or maintaining your will to stay alive.  Please try to maintain regular breathing.  And please try not to die to the extent it does not violate any of my other instructions or commands."  She backs up her requests with mental orders over the dominate.

She directs the Kitsune into a reclining chair, gently straps some padded restraints onto the subject, place a mouthpiece (with a mundane and spirit thermometer) in her mouth (it serves as both a recording device and a means of preventing the subject from biting their tongue or cracking their teeth), tucks in a high quality cloak of resistance on the subject's back.  This all only requires gentle nudges since she has the dominate to reinforce her control.  And checks her thoughts one more time, Areelu kept her detect thoughts up.

So.

So. 

So, situation: enslaved(?) by a terribly powerful Cryptid? Remnant of the old Empire, woken up again? Something from Beyond?

Her mind rails against every order she is aware of, cataloguing them and trying to probe at the edges (try not to die? don't scream too much? way to be fucking ominous, kidnapper). Can she cast a very small, subtle illusion that doesn't do anything. Can she twitch a finger. Can she pull an object from her tail, thinking of it carefully by its sensory impression and not its purpose-

-She manages to interpret 'communicate out loud what you feel' as narrowly about physical sensations.

"Tail's pinched."

She adjust the chair slightly and puts pillows under the small of the subject's back and upper legs to give the tails a bit more space.  "Emotional sensations aren't as important as physical sensations, but please include any that are unexpected or unusual relative to the circumstances."  She backs this up with a mental order again.

An injection with some preparatory substance.  (It should initially only hurt as much as an ordinary needle, but be followed by some faint weird burning numbness spreading from the site of injection in the chest to across the body.)

She waits around half a minute for the substance to take effect.  Then she pulls out a large crystal.  A spell to dissolve it and fuse it with the subject's soul.  (The primary soul fragment is already attached to the purified crystal.  And this should cause some deep existential pain to spread through the subject as it takes effect.)

She speaks measurements and notes in a calm collected voice for her recording device as she does this.

Weiss is starting to look at herself from the outside in. Refusing to register what's happening is not really an option. Focusing on her terror and hate and the steadily growing dread, to the detriment of introspection (and hopefully this kidnapper's frustration), is, and one she attempts to take.

-It feels like something about her is being changed. Like one of those alien weevil bugs slowly consuming from the inside. Turning her into this evil creature's puppet or loyal minion.

Tamamo, you promised I would be safe. Maybe not explicitly, but the kitsune form, the reincarnation-

There you are.

Tamamo is wroth, and expending a lot of focus and energy on this situation. Oho, what's this?

Little Weiss is still just a kitsune. This new soul-work is orthogonal to all the kitsune features, sorta-kinda-mostly.

Oh.

It's not that she doesn't approve of change, growth, and becoming new people, but in this case she has Chaotically decided to disapprove. Now, where are some options to disrupt this process...

Someone else sees Tamamo looking, and can almost see who they are looking at despite the many countermeasures to interfere with divine observation.  Overall, they have a different sort of divine vibe, but they do share very similar tastes in aesthetics.

Daikitsu shares information about the creator of those countermeasures: Areelu Vorlesh, here is her likely motives (rage at the world/revenge/reconstructing her daughter's soul), here are her powers (quasi-divine witch spellcasting), here is her role in the Worldwound.  Of interest if her follow vulpine deity is planning on doing thing: there is a very high discount on actions to counteract Areelu Vorlesh, some are free or even net positive once you take into account open bounties by the Aeons and Inevitables!

If her counterpart would be willing to share some of what she sees maybe Daikitsu can help her figure something out?

Oh right other gods than her usual clique exist.

One of Her BLORBOS is being ASSAULTED by Areelu Vorlesh. She's so mad!! All that hard work on making such elegant soul structures, hijacked, not to mention the whole 'forcing entire other soul structures into it as if that will have the consequences she expects' thing, and the thing where she is apparently?? Trying to overwrite?? One of Her chosen souls with an entire different one??!! Or that's what She thinks is going on from Her kitsune's prayer and new context bits. Not to mention poking through the veil around Tirra. It offends Her sense of aesthetics AND Her possessive protectiveness, even if thumbing one's nose at death and going to extremes for your goals are not exactly unaligned with Her.

She can only see very faint outlines here and only because Weiss is actively praying for help about it.

She is definitely going to Do Something, but everything is so expeeeeeensive out here.

Prophecy is broken, and it makes it so hard to tell for sure what mortals are doing... but it seems like maybe Areelu Vorlesh is trying to glue... her daughters soul (?!??) to that adorable kitsune.  Daikitsu doesn't have a full plan yet... but if Tamamo is as good at shapeshifting and deception as she is, just the right nudge right here could set Areelu Vorlesh off balance.  Sometimes the best way to trick a mortal is to give them exactly what they think they want!  No guarantees on exactly how Areelu responds, here is the best guess model of Areelu's psychology, collected from multiple Gods and collated by the inevitable response team (Daikitsu has some additional notes slapped on top indicating places inevitables don't understand mortals right).

As for follow-ups... have this information packet on common Golarion mortal magics for divination and information gathering, along with the top three dozen ways of tricking them.  Areelu Vorlesh is likely to have these ones.  Mortals often underestimate what illusions and shapeshifting can do if you push them to the point of near perfection.

The mechanism by which Tamamo-built-kitsunes generate a body is somewhat resistant to nudging but she could in fact nudge it- She gets a little sidetracked into the artistic details-

And Weiss does have the capacity to perform complex, abstract illusions, even over a large area. Oh, that one is clever- Simply rename the local terrain features, shifting the spells return-

She has a scroll that could remove the Dominate but is currently forbidden from trying to cast it.

.......Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr she needs to add some extra metaphorical buttressing and barriers and filters in here to avoid the overwrite actually completing, and avoid too much intractable mixing. To preserve option value.
