  1. [14:11:32] <GMingPenguin> Known to the Outside world as May, in Gensokyo this month is the Planting Month, spring is in full bloom, and spirits are high. It has been about a week since the insanity the group last faced, and everything has been quiet. Well, for the most part...
  2. [14:11:33] <GMingPenguin> A short while ago, a new mansion appeared in Gensokyo. At the far western edge of this hidden land, a new abode appeared. Superficially, it resembles a shrine. Except that it is a shrine physically placed on top of dark and imposing mansion. For days after the mansion appeared, the gates remained shut, and nobody apparently went in or out...
  3. [14:12:58] <GMingPenguin> ...except for the shikigami fluttering in and out of the upper windows. Not the standard Gensokyo shikigami, apprenticed beings such as Ran or Daimofujin, these shikigami are the classical types. Paper folded into vaguely humanoid shapes, origami servants of an as-of-yet unseen master, they visited the human village and purchased goods with honest coin.

  7. [14:14:33] <GMingPenguin> The introduction so far, restated for those who just joined:
  8. [14:14:34] <GMingPenguin> <GMingPenguin> Known to the Outside world as May, in Gensokyo this month is the Planting Month, spring is in full bloom, and spirits are high. It has been about a week since the insanity the group last faced, and everything has been quiet. Well, for the most part...
  9. [14:14:35] <GMingPenguin> <GMingPenguin> A short while ago, a new mansion appeared in Gensokyo. At the far western edge of this hidden land, a new abode appeared. Superficially, it resembles a shrine. Except that it is a shrine physically placed on top of dark and imposing mansion. For days after the mansion appeared, the gates remained shut, and nobody apparently went in or out...
  10. [14:14:35] <GMingPenguin> <GMingPenguin> ...except for the shikigami fluttering in and out of the upper windows. Not the standard Gensokyo shikigami, apprenticed beings such as Ran or Daimofujin, these shikigami are the classical types. Paper folded into vaguely humanoid shapes, origami servants of an as-of-yet unseen master, they visited the human village and purchased goods with honest coin.
  11. [14:15:23] * Verbose is now known as Kagiru
  12. [14:15:55] <GMingPenguin> There has been quite a bit of buzz in the Human Village and the Youkai Village about the new addition to Gensokyo. Until today, when the same paper shikigami that had been out running errands instead dropped dead over random people, their white corpses turning into party invites.
  13. [14:16:36] <GMingPenguin> All of Gensokyo is invited to the Warei Manor, which has finally returned to the land of Gensokyo and wishes to make friends with its populace!
  14. [14:20:08] <Honoo-Haiiro> Did they send an invite to Haiiro's place, too? It's might be a mansion itself, but it is in the distance, and both Honoo and herself are the only ones that live there.
  15. [14:21:05] <GMingPenguin> Pretty much everyone in Gensokyo has been invited. It was a literal cloud of paper shikigami that exited the manor this day.
  16. [14:21:28] * Anegumo lightly bites her nail, looking at the piece of paper that landed in her tree.
  17. [14:23:30] <Honoo-Haiiro> Well, then. Haiiro made sure that Honoo didn't burn this one in case they needed to present the invitation, and they both go straight over once the time comes! What could possibly go wrong? Besides 'them'.
  18. [14:23:35] * Serena is brought an invitation by her maid and wonders "What does one bring to a party such of this?"
  19. [14:23:59] <GMingPenguin> The party will start at the beginning of dusk this evening, and is open to both human and youkai; wording on the paper implies that no conflict will be allowed at the house "by magical means."
  20. [14:24:34] <Honoo-Haiiro> No combat? All the better! Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
  21. [14:25:12] * Kagiru only notices the party invites when one falls into the confines of her best friend Karisu, the fancy inanimate cup. She supposes they should attend, since they'd have nothing better to do.
  22. [14:25:58] <Honoo-Haiiro> ....But seriously, a party is a party. Only needs crashing if it's a bad party.
  23. [14:26:57] * Anegumo frowns at the paper. no conflict? well, as long as she's quick about eating, there won't be conflict she supposes. She decides to go.
  24. [14:27:04] * Serena puts on her best puffy black blouse and sets off to the party. On her way she picks some wildflowers and "arranges" them without noticing she left some dirt on the rootballs.
  25. [14:28:52] * Trissi ([email protected]) has left #Gensokyo (Now, behold the unbridled terror that is a man with proper dick placement!)
  26. [14:30:22] <GMingPenguin> The manor itself is similar in style to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, if it had a love-child with the Hakurei shrine. A massive wall surrounds the manor itself, with a single gate allowing entrance. A gate currently open, and guarded by two eight foot tall paper shikigami wearing paper armor and wielding very real naginatas.
  27. [14:31:21] <GMingPenguin> Unlike the SDM, there is a strange glow above the protective wall. Haiiro's color sensitive eyes let her see that it's a bubble covering the entire top of the manor.
  28. [14:32:50] * Anegumo frowns, then sees the others, "Ah, so we meet again." She stands outside of the mansion.
  29. [14:33:21] <GMingPenguin> In a fortuitious twist of timing, everyone times their entrance to the manor at the same time, so they once again run into each other. Except for those who have not met each other yet.
  30. [14:33:29] <Honoo-Haiiro> "You think I wouldn't be here for a party~?"
  31. [14:34:06] * Kagiru arrives holding a small box, containing her party gift. It's a key she found and has no idea what it goes to. A precious thing.
  32. [14:34:18] <Kagiru> "I think I remember some of you."
  33. [14:34:53] * Anegumo glides one of her hands through her hair, then glances at Kagiru, then at Haiiro, "A friend of yours?"
  34. [14:36:36] <Serena> "Its nice of these hermits to hold a party, what do you think they've been doing behind their walls for the last week?" Serena shifts back and forth on her workboots with a slight nervousness.
  35. [14:36:47] <Serena> Apprehension, not really nervousness
  36. [14:36:54] <Kagiru> "I am Omoikiru Kagiru, a goddess of prisons. What are you?
  37. [14:37:43] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...Whoever this person is, they were pretty complete with the invitations. ...Oh, where have you been, anyway?" She questions Kagiru, only remembering her after a few moments.
  38. [14:39:02] <Anegumo> "Myself? I am Kurogoke Anegumo."
  39. [14:39:51] <Kagiru> She turns her gaze towards Serena. "We got seperated and I wandered around. Then I sat under a tree for a while until I got an invitation to a party. Then I met you guys here."
  40. [14:40:00] <Serena> "We did appreciate they're inviting royalty such as Ourself. But We suppose they just invited everyone."
  41. [14:40:35] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...You missed a lot. Try to stick around next time, we're loads of fun~"
  42. [14:40:43] <Anegumo> "...You must have been sitting under that tree for some time. Its been what, a month? two?"
  43. [14:41:42] <Kagiru> Her hand pats the fancy goblet tied to the gigantic pair of handcuffs she uses as a belt. "Karisu entertained me."
  44. [14:43:59] <GMingPenguin> The group passes into the courtyard of the manor.
  45. [14:44:58] * Anegumo glances at the paper warriors as they pass.
  46. [14:45:49] <Honoo-Haiiro> "That's, ah, quite the cup, to keep you entertained for that long." Paper warriors, huh? ...Honoo is held just a bit tighter.
  47. [14:46:17] <GMingPenguin> The courtyard is great in both size and in beauty. The law is meticulously cared for, there is a maze garden off to the left, and to the right is a . . . is that a miniature version of Gensokyo? Even the details of the tall mountain looks exactly like the Youkai mountain.
  48. [14:46:58] * Anegumo sees if she can see her tree; probably not but.
  49. [14:47:17] <GMingPenguin> The paper shikigami clutch their naginatas and stare forwards. They do not move, but they have a sort of magical presence that anybody nearby can feel that lets you know that they are capable of movement, and fast.
  50. [14:47:38] <Kagiru> "I wonder what happens when it rains.
  51. [14:47:43] * Serena looks for her farmhouse.
  52. [14:49:06] <GMingPenguin> Serena finds her farmhouse, and Anegumo finds her tree. There are no webs hanging from the tree, and no bees buzz around the farmhouse; apparently only "permanent" details are in this miniature version of Gensokyo.
  53. [14:49:24] * Anegumo still nods.
  54. [14:49:58] <GMingPenguin> The crowd starts to slip inside the central (and largest) of the three buildings that form the manor.
  55. [14:50:08] <Serena> "Ehhhyaaaa! We fixed that wall! They can't even get the details right!"
  56. [14:50:55] * Anegumo refuses to say anything about Serena's..."Castle"
  57. [14:51:13] * Anegumo glances around, is it mostly youkai, or humans?
  58. [14:51:29] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Huh. A replication? Did they get her mansion? Did they get the colors right? It's...probably pretty hard to get the colors right. Haiiro has to see for herself!
  59. [14:52:06] <GMingPenguin> Notice that when I say that everyone is here, everyone is here. A bad feeling passes over you for a moment, but it's just Hina walking by. Rinnosuke walks by, chatting with Marisa. There's both human and youkai, though they instinctively split themselves into two "streams."
  60. [14:52:18] * Kagiru wonders if there is a miniature version of the miniature inside the miniature new mansion.
  61. [14:53:02] * Anegumo licks her lips idly as she glances at the humans.
  62. [14:53:18] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...With safety in numbers, she's probably safe from Reimu. With that in mind, there's not much danger in coming!
  63. [14:53:23] <GMingPenguin> It'd have to be very small, but--ah! Yes! There is some recursion going on!
  64. [14:54:32] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...If they did get her mansion, Haiiro would have to get Serena's attention. Did they?
  65. [14:54:43] <GMingPenguin> Yup.
  66. [14:56:07] <Honoo-Haiiro> As such, Haiiro gives her a little tug. "Hey. I guess I can just show you a miniature instead of inviting you over. See that?" She points out her own mansion. "You should have a place that big. ...You know, only to scale."
  67. [14:56:20] * Kagiru tries to locate some other gods to hobnob with, her height letting her look over the heads of most of the crowd.
  68. [14:58:10] <GMingPenguin> Hina just passed, she's a god of misfortune...
  69. [14:58:47] <Serena> "That seems pretty big but its probablynot to scale. These guys haven't even gotten all the details right on Our castle!" Her stomach rumbles a little. "Did you see where they put the hors d'oeuvres?
  70. [14:58:48] <Serena> "
  71. [14:58:55] * Anegumo mutters just under her breath, 'no, even if her home was that big, as long as it was that fancy it'd be better...'
  72. [14:59:18] <Kagiru> Thinking that misfortune and prisons go hand in hand, she walks over to strike up a conversation with the smaller god. She uses her most witty ice breaking salutation. "Hello."
  73. [15:01:21] <GMingPenguin> Kagiyama Hina smiles at Kagiru's approach, and spins into a bow. "Hello! How are the prisons?"
  74. [15:01:29] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...Guess I'll have to drag you later anyway, huh. Or maybe later...hmhmhm~" A small grin escapes her face. It's probably a bad thing.
  75. [15:02:17] <GMingPenguin> Only the tail end of the crowd is still in the courtyard now, the rest have entered the building.
  76. [15:03:15] <Kagiru> Kagiru performs a small, curt bow of her own. "They are well. I'm currently on vacation. How goes your duties?"
  77. [15:03:29] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...Ah. Can't get left behind!" Haiiro decides to make the shrine bright pink before moving forward! You know, for kicks.
  78. [15:05:28] <GMingPenguin> "After a recent bout of misfortunate across Gensokyo, I managed to get ehe xcess rounded up and sent off to those who could deal with it. Things have been pretty easy since I pulled the misfortune off of a farming family who were attacked by, you may not believe this, some sort of flaming squirrel army. And already this party is better than last time." Something in her smile seems a little
  79. [15:05:28] <GMingPenguin> sad.
  80. [15:08:29] <GMingPenguin> The shrine in the miniature burns bright pink for a moment, then reverts back to its normal color when Haiiro's back is turned.
  81. [15:08:33] <Kagiru> "Maybe I should change my domain to something terrestrial. You get much prettier clothes." She pulls on the collar of her blue and gold prison guard uniform.
  82. [15:09:30] <Honoo-Haiiro> She'll probably notice on her return trip, unless she drinks too much, which is perfectly possible. Oh well!
  83. [15:09:42] <GMingPenguin> Hina twirls and her skirt flares out. "Our uniforms are much more lax here than when in Heaven, yes~. Let's get inside! We'll be cursed to hunger if all of the snacks are gone before we get there!"
  84. [15:11:44] <Kagiru> Blue eyes grow cold with determination. A mission. And a necessary one, she hadn't eaten in a month. She strdes inside the building following her little compatriot.
  85. [15:12:05] <GMingPenguin> The first thing heard inside is Remilia Scarlet complaining just quietly enough to Sakuya that everybody around her can hear her, so in reality her voice is raised a bit. "I told you that they stole my idea! They even stole the placement of the hors d'oeuvres!"
  86. [15:12:21] <GMingPenguin> "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, mistress," Sakuya responds. Remilia just harumphs.
  87. [15:14:24] <GMingPenguin> Indeed, it looks quite a bit like the party at the Scarlet Devil Mansion; circular tables filled with food scattered around the area, with a stage at the far end. This ballroom is even larger than the SDM's, and there are more than just youkai (and shrine maidens/magicians) in attendence.
  88. [15:14:24] <GMingPenguin> The center of the room has very few people, as the split between human and youkai makes the room look like a Middle School dance, boys on one side, girls on the other.
  89. [15:15:29] <Honoo-Haiiro> Only since this is Gensokyo, the party needed a different way to split. Either way, Haiiro practically sees it as an invitation to end up in the middle. Gotta love elbow room!
  90. [15:16:14] <GMingPenguin> Added bonus, the snacks in the middle are untouched!
  91. [15:16:33] * Serena eats a snack, pockets a snack, eats a snack, pockets a snack! she turns to one of servants "This is wonderful what is it?"
  92. [15:16:35] * Kagiru wanders from table to table, filling up a plate with far more food than it was intended to hold. They only served gruel in the prisons of heaven, so she was getting greedy.
  93. [15:16:42] <Honoo-Haiiro> Hell yeah.
  94. [15:17:00] <Honoo-Haiiro> The pair munch. It's a satisfying munch.
  95. [15:17:50] <GMingPenguin> The only servants about are the paper shikigamis. These are about four feet tall, and their capacity for language appears to be limited to bowing, nodding, and shaking their head.
  96. [15:18:59] <GMingPenguin> Whatever's in the snacks appears to be made of deliciousness, though.
  97. [15:19:25] <Serena> "Fine, we can see you have no manners." Serena then looks for new faces.
  98. [15:20:07] * Kagiru sits in the middle of the room on the floor, indian style and starts eating her plate of food with little in the way of manners.
  99. [15:20:59] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Haiiro pauses for a minute, thinking, and takes a look around for any notable faces. She must have a good view from here!
  100. [15:21:44] <GMingPenguin> There! Over at a table filled with sweet things there's a certain ice fairy!
  101. [15:22:08] <GMingPenguin> Over on the youkai side of things, Kaguya stands, surrounded by Eirin and Reisen as she chats with Kanako. Over on the human side of things, Keine is talking to Mokou, and keeps moving around to try to keep Kaguya out of Mokou's line of sight.
  102. [15:23:53] <Honoo-Haiiro> Yes. Haiiro gives Honoo a tug. "See that? I believe she's the self-proclaimed strongest fairy." Honoo nods, and...gets a bit fired up. Let's hope no servants get too close, as she draws near, lest they meet a terrible fate.
  103. [15:24:22] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Haiiro is the one following this time, in case she really does get too fired up. Which she might.
  104. [15:25:02] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...She does bring snacks, of course. Munch.
  105. [15:25:53] <GMingPenguin> Cirno is too busy filling her belly with sweets to notice the approach of a fire fairy.
  106. [15:27:05] * Kagiru notices the red and green mikos in the room and wonders how she could get her own shrine set up.
  107. [15:27:22] <GMingPenguin> Hina turns to Kagiru. "If you'll pardon me, I have a delivery to make, and I might as well do so now."
  108. [15:28:13] <Honoo-Haiiro> Which is all well, since the one initiating is Honoo this time. Since she's leading, it only makes sense. "Hey, you! ...Whoever you are. The...cold one!" A CHALLENGER MAKES A STATEMENT.
  109. [15:29:42] <GMingPenguin> Cirno freezes, food halfway to her face. He turns her head towards the challenger, and phantom flames reflect in her eyes. "Whoever I am? The cold one? I'm the coldest one, Cirno!"
  110. [15:30:54] * Anegumo had been stalking a particularly dilectable looking human, but managed to lose them in the crowd, she frowns.
  111. [15:31:54] * Anegumo had been doing this from a distance of course; can't be too careful.
  112. [15:32:06] <Honoo-Haiiro> "And I am the hottest one, Honoo! I heard you were the strongest. But, that doesn't make sense."
  113. [15:32:16] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Because, the strongest is me."
  114. [15:32:20] * Kagiru finds a table with drinks and secures a bottle of sake for herself, taking it as a proper offering.
  115. [15:32:57] <GMingPenguin> "Oh really/ You're the strongest? Have YOU beat up the black-white, hhmmmmmm?"
  116. [15:33:48] <GMingPenguin> Cirno jabs herself in the chest with a finger. "I once beat up the black-white! And she's beaten up many people, even gods! Therefore I have beaten them ALL UP AT ONCE!"
  117. [15:35:16] <GMingPenguin> Kagiru finds a perfectly good bottle of sake, just time right type to be an offering to a god.
  118. [15:35:29] <GMingPenguin> In other words, just expensive enough to not be cheap, and very effective.
  119. [15:36:25] <Honoo-Haiiro> "I travel with a black-white!" Haiiro freezes for a moment, then resumes munching. Someday, someone will point that she is a black and white magician as well. "...And I beat up a scary lady that beat up a bunch of other people too! And a scary bear that could probably beat up everyone! And if I beat YOU up, I'll beat all of those people as well!" The truth has been stretched in so many different directions.
  120. [15:36:42] <Honoo-Haiiro> "That'd be like...everyone!"
  121. [15:37:40] <Kagiru> She pours Karisu full and then proceeds to drink from the bottle. Friends first, after all. "It has been too long."
  122. [15:38:28] <GMingPenguin> Cirno grins. "Looks like I'll have to add a bear and scary lady and fire fairy to my list, then. Let's go!" Cirno rises into the air!
  123. [15:39:15] <Honoo-Haiiro> Honoo does as well! Haiiro munches and draws back a little. This is their fight that they probably won't get to finish.
  124. [15:39:18] * Anegumo attempts to nonchallantly move to the human side of the room while this is going on. Sure there is food on the table, but so many delicious live meals in one place~
  125. [15:39:38] <GMingPenguin> In an instant, Anegumo is surrounded by tengu.
  126. [15:39:46] <Anegumo> "Ah."
  127. [15:40:10] * Anegumo plucks innocently on her shamisen~
  128. [15:40:37] * Serena wanders to Haiiro "Do you know who owns this mansion? We don't think We've seen them all night..."
  129. [15:41:14] <GMingPenguin> One one side, Kireigou appears out of nowhere and slips an arm around Anegumo's shoulders. "'ey, how's it going?" On the other appears a certain, oh no, a certain other tengu girl appears and approaches Anegumo.
  130. [15:41:41] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Ah. Haiiro addresses Serena! "No, but I suppose that's why we're all here, right? We'll have to wait a bit."
  131. [15:41:54] <GMingPenguin> All of the tengu at the party are clad in their formal clothes, though those of the patrol still keep their sword and shield with them.
  132. [15:41:59] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Perhaps that's when the party will really begin~"
  133. [15:42:11] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Unless Honoo accidentally burns the place down."
  134. [15:42:56] * Anegumo smiles at Kireigou, "Ah, hello hello~" Then she looks at the tengu girl "?"
  135. [15:43:05] <Serena> "They said there was no fighitng allowed, We assume they've put some protections in place to ensure that. She won't be able to do any damage..."
  136. [15:43:09] <Anegumo> "!"
  137. [15:43:41] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Well, all the servants are made out of paper. So, who knows?"
  138. [15:44:38] <GMingPenguin> Honoo and Cirno circle above the party, and reach the proper danmaku flight height. Or something like that. Cirno pulls her hands back to form an ice bal...
  139. [15:44:58] <Serena> "Would you allow servants made of paper that could be burned?"
  140. [15:45:11] <Serena> "We wouldn't! Its perfectly safe."
  141. [15:46:30] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Well at the same time, you don't know the person, right?" Honoo charges a fireball to match. IF CHARGING WILL BE DONE, THEY WILL BOTH FIRE AT THE SAME TIME.
  142. [15:46:31] * Kagiru finishes her bottle, her divine metabolism doing battle with the alcohol consumed. Looking down at her friend to see her still filled to the brim, she frowns. "Well if you're not going to drink it than I won't let it go to waste." And thus the entire bottle was downed.
  143. [15:46:38] <Honoo-Haiiro> Since it's 'firing', she has an advantage.
  144. [15:47:05] <GMingPenguin> Or that's the idea.
  145. [15:47:47] <GMingPenguin> Cirno and Honoo both "charge" for half a minute, then a full minute, but nothing appears in their hands. When they look down, their attempts to manifest danmaku did not cause so much as a single shard or spark.
  146. [15:47:57] <Anegumo> "Ah, hello." She says to the tengu lady, a little nervously.
  147. [15:48:44] * Anegumo then distracts herself by looking up at Cirno and Honoo
  148. [15:48:56] <GMingPenguin> "Hi Anegumo!" she says in her slightly obnoxious, too-forward voice. "How funny to see you here! And, oh, I see you know my brother already!"
  149. [15:49:04] <Honoo-Haiiro> Haiiro glances back at the battle scene, where absolutely nothing is happening. "...Huh. That's quite a staredown."
  150. [15:49:41] <Anegumo> "...Brother?" She looks at Kireigou.
  151. [15:50:55] <GMingPenguin> Shortly after failing to danmaku each other, a dark blur flows in between Cirno and Honoo. They feel themselves pulled together and the dark blur condenses into a person. Clad in a dark kimono that consumes light, it is a young man who now has an arm on both Cirno and Honoo's shoulders. "Come! Let us be at peace in this house!"
  152. [15:51:23] <Serena> "See! Perfectly safe."
  153. [15:51:59] <GMingPenguin> "My name is Warei Motochi, and welcome to my parent's manor. We're pretty much ready to begin, so, could I ask you to not try to smash each other up while my mother and father give their speech?"
  154. [15:53:16] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou's grin fades only momentarily. "Yes. Brother. This is my sister Tomiko, though I think that you already know her as well..."
  155. [15:54:24] <Honoo-Haiiro> "But..." Honoo does something that most fairies don't do. It's probably influence with Haiiro. Think a bit. "...so if we're not in the house, we can stop being at peace?" She then turns once more to Cirno. "We'll meet again. Count on it!" THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN ISSUED. And Haiiro munches, and speaks some herself. "Well, it did get one of our hosts to show up~ Nice kimono~" That's the blackest of blacks, right there. She respects that.
  156. [15:55:42] * Kagiru pauses in the middle of a second bottle to stare at the newcomer. He looked so ... pretty.
  157. [15:56:16] <GMingPenguin> Still holding onto the two fairies, Motochi has decided that their respective colors would be a good way to attract attention. "People of Gensokyo! Welcome to the Warei Manor and Shrine! I am Warei Motochi, and appearing on stage now are my mother and father, the honorable and venerable Warei Noroiko and Warei Ashiro!"
  158. [15:56:54] <Serena> "We saw a shadow like that on Youkai mountain. Maybe those proto-youkai decided to become real..."
  159. [15:57:53] * Anegumo looks between Kireigou and Tomiko, how do they seem to get along.
  160. [15:57:59] <GMingPenguin> The lights in the ballroom dim, while the lights over the stage brighten. Not enough to make things dark, just enough to draw attention to the two figures standing ot he stage. They bow deeply to the crowd.
  161. [15:59:15] <Honoo-Haiiro> Honoo feels the attention, and flares up a bit. Hopefully it's harmless to her holder. Haiiro munches, and...does whatever's polite for the situation. That's applaud, right? Since they're big deals, if this show means anything?
  162. [15:59:59] <Kagiru> Her eyes never leave Motochi as he flies high above. She wonders how it feels to hug him.
  163. [16:00:24] * Serena doesn't quite know what to do, so she bows deeply to the stage. And bumps Haiiro's back with her head.
  164. [16:01:25] <GMingPenguin> Both the mother and father are tall, and sport black hair and have sharp chins. Motochi is the splitting image of Ashiro, except in height and age. All of the family wears the same color-absorbing black, though the matriarch wears a modified shrine maiden's outfit, and the patriarch wears a priest's outfit modified with arcane symbols.
  165. [16:01:42] <Honoo-Haiiro> Haiiro looks at her once there's time. "Those sorts we met earlier? They had something against civilization, didn't they? Can't be the same."
  166. [16:02:26] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou seems uncomfortable now that Tomiko has shown up, while Tomiko looks like she's enjoying making her brother uncomfortable. She sidles up to Anegumo and asks, "Known my brother long, eh?"
  167. [16:02:39] <Serena> "Maybe basking in Our glory made them change their ways..."
  168. [16:03:13] <Honoo-Haiiro> Despite how they absorb color, Haiiro doesn't mind the outfits at all. They've made a map of Gensokyo and all it's colors, so it's not like they have some prejudice, right? So, they just know how awesome the purest of blacks are. It's probably the shrine maiden garb that irks her more, but it's minor.
  169. [16:03:30] <Anegumo> "Hm? Not particularly long." She attempts to keep an eye on what's going on stage.
  170. [16:03:56] <GMingPenguin> Ashiro starts a speech. He and his wife Noroiko share the burden of making the speech, trading off with each other almost every other sentence, sometimes even mid-sentence.
  171. [16:04:45] <Honoo-Haiiro> "I somehow doubt that..."
  172. [16:04:59] <Honoo-Haiiro> Haiiro focuses more on listening, unless it gets boring.
  173. [16:06:10] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...The swapping is pretty cool though, so bonus points for that.
  174. [16:06:51] * Serena tries to listen to the speech, but gets a little lost as the speakers change. She feels a little dizzy and sits down. If there is no chair, then right on the ground.
  175. [16:06:58] <GMingPenguin> "We feel especially honored by your presence today, beloved humans, youkai, and gods of Gensokyo. We are new to Gensokyo, and yet we are not. Do not let our mansion or many servants distract you or make you think taht we feel above you, we have merely been blessed in our time Outside."
  176. [16:07:44] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Servants made of magic, huh? ...Nah. Gonna employ fairies. Once she can, anyway. So busy.
  177. [16:08:51] <GMingPenguin> "But now that we have managed to make our way into Gensokyo, we do not feel as if we are intruding into a new space. No, we are returning home, and bringing our blessing with us to share. This is a fact you can all attest to, enjoy the food and sake! Eat it all up! We want to be your friends!"
  178. [16:10:34] <GMingPenguin> Tomiko smiles and crosses her arms. She leans forwards to look at Kireigou better. "Mother and father always fel that he brought more honor to the family than I did. After all, he joinmed the tengu patrol, while I, well, you know what I do!" She giggles.
  179. [16:11:04] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...wait. While everyone's distracted...the black-white. The one that isn't her. Can she find the black-white...from a distance, where no one can see her see the black-white, or at least no one that shouldn't? Because she might make the black-white all black instead of black and white. ...But only if Reimu isn't within 5 paces. Can't jog HER memory. That'd be bad.
  180. [16:12:39] <GMingPenguin> "But, what do we mean about returning home? Well. We, the Warei family, have a history. A history with not only Gensokyo, but with the Hakurei family as well. Yes! Our two shrines were once intertwined, birds of a feather long ago!"
  181. [16:13:49] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Oh? ...Let's look, but this is worth listening to.
  182. [16:14:16] <Serena> "We didn't even know the Hakurei shrine maiden had parents.
  183. [16:14:16] <GMingPenguin> Reimu and Marisa are standing right next to each other. Which means that when this is said...
  184. [16:14:17] <GMingPenguin> "Is the Hakurei Shrine Maiden here tonight? Ah, there you are! Reimu, would you ascend into the air please, so that we may all applaud you for your efforts at keeping the Gensokyo border secured!"
  185. [16:14:17] <GMingPenguin> Marisa grins at the suddenly flustered Reimu, and pushes her up.
  186. [16:15:19] <GMingPenguin> Ashiro and Noroiko clap, and so does Motochi. This releases the two fairies. Cirno immediately descends back to the sweets table.
  187. [16:16:25] <Honoo-Haiiro> Ah, it shouldn't be hard to find them if Reimu's coming from her location. See if she can get her black-black instead of black-white. And hopefully keep her that way for a while.
  188. [16:16:45] <Honoo-Haiiro> Honoo comes down, and resumes munching...then brings some snacks up and goes back. She liked that place.
  189. [16:17:01] <Honoo-Haiiro> So much attention. So much space.
  190. [16:17:31] <GMingPenguin> "Reimu, do you know the history between our two families? Hmm?"
  191. [16:17:52] <GMingPenguin> The shrine maiden shakes her head.
  192. [16:18:27] * Anegumo makes a noncommital noise towards Tomiko. She's trying to pay attention to the nonsense going on onstage, but all the tengu around her are making that difficult.
  193. [16:18:30] <GMingPenguin> "Ah. A shame. We shall have to explain it then! I invite all of you guests to listen as well. We've given you so much food, it's the least you could do!" A laugh.
  194. [16:19:05] <GMingPenguin> Marisa is behind Reimu now, and is relatively unobserved...
  195. [16:19:57] <Honoo-Haiiro> The time to strike is now! Hopefully it'll stick~
  196. [16:20:32] <GMingPenguin> "Long ago, before the land of Gensokyo was separated from the Outside world, it was a land of youkai and youkai hunters. There was one great shrine in the area, the Hakurei shrine, which kept the humans safe. But it was not just the Hakurei family which maintained that shrine. No, the Warei family was one of the two families!"
  197. [16:22:18] <GMingPenguin> "Eventually, our way of life became threatened. Not just youkai were endangered by the "enlightenment" of humans, no, we holy families came under threat as well. And thus, Gensokyo was separated from the Outside, and the Hakurei shrine went with it. We Warei were instrument, but alas! We were forced, yes, forced to remain outside of our beloved Gensokyo..."
  198. [16:22:25] * Anegumo actually wonders how she got involved with so many Tengu...oh right. Ginkyo.
  199. [16:22:42] <Serena> "We've never heard of a Warei family..." Serena shakes her head, then notices her plate is empty and travels to the middle to get another couple snacks.
  200. [16:22:50] <GMingPenguin> Welllll, Ginkyo isn't why Anegumo got involved with Tomiko, technically...
  201. [16:23:01] * Anegumo kicks the GM
  202. [16:23:10] <Honoo-Haiiro> Technically it was completely her fault.
  203. [16:23:45] * Anegumo also can't get to the tasty tasty humans with all these tengu chatting around her...and one attached to her arm.
  204. [16:24:29] * Anegumo 's stomach rumbles.
  205. [16:24:43] <GMingPenguin> "As a family of youkai-hunters--which is more of a game we hear, good! We shall enjoy playing!--we could not survive when the youkai had left, and were forced to become nobles. Our family passed its time Outside until now, when we were finally able to reenter Gensokyo. Home! It shall be good!"
  206. [16:25:26] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou says to Tomiko, "Watch out sis, she's hungry. Might want to go grab some food for her, eh?"
  207. [16:26:45] <GMingPenguin> "And that is why we have opened our home to you, human and youkai alike. We wish to be friends with you all, especially with Reimu. Perhaps our families can be as close again as they once were?"
  208. [16:26:56] <Anegumo> "If you would be so kind, Tomiko."
  209. [16:27:21] <GMingPenguin> Tomiko looks at Anegumo. "You want fries with that?"
  210. [16:27:38] <Anegumo> "I don't think they have fries at a dinner party like this." She says flatly.
  211. [16:28:37] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Well, success or failure, she'll be back at the snack table before long, herself.
  212. [16:28:44] <GMingPenguin> "Do note! As the two fairies pointed out, we have a magical barrier in place! There will be, and can not be, conflict within our home, so this will forever be a place of refuge and comradeship between humans and youkai. Out of respect to the Hakurei family, Reimu is exempt from this dampening of her abilities."
  213. [16:29:37] <Honoo-Haiiro> What is this this feeling of dread.
  214. [16:29:55] <GMingPenguin> "Now! Let the sake flow and the friendships build!"
  215. [16:30:12] <GMingPenguin> Doors on either side of the room burst open, and more paper shikigami enter, each one carrier many bottles of sake.
  216. [16:30:36] <Honoo-Haiiro> Haiiro's food consumption rate increases! With luck she'll get drunk and she can shake that. ...Ah, the timing~!
  217. [16:31:54] <Anegumo> "Please Tomi?" She says sweetly.
  218. [16:32:05] <GMingPenguin> Tomiko hesitates for a moment.
  219. [16:32:36] <GMingPenguin> "Right. One Widower special, coming right up." She winks at Kireigou at the word "widower" and then runs off.
  220. [16:33:15] <GMingPenguin> Noroiko and Ashiro step down from the stage and join the crowd.
  221. [16:33:50] <Anegumo> "Hrm, why HAVEN'T I eaten you yet?" She wonders Idly, touching her cheek in thought. ...it probably sounds like a joke, but inwardly its not.
  222. [16:35:12] <GMingPenguin> "Because there's a certain amount of prestige which somes from keeping a member of the tengu patrol around. That, and retribution would bite you right back." Kireigou can make dark jokes too.
  223. [16:36:01] <GMingPenguin> From Haiiro's sneaky place close to the now black-black Marisa (who has not yet noticed), she hers Noroiko talking to Reimu.
  224. [16:37:08] <GMingPenguin> "I hear that some of the lower youkai call you the red-white, dear. Perhaps we could donate some new shrine maiden clothes for you? We have quite the selection from the Outside world, some in rather interesting colors."
  225. [16:38:33] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Ah, might as well listen. Overhearing has to be the best kind. As opposed to hering. Or overhering. ...She's just FINE as the red-white. Color is a nice identity, as long as they don't overlap. Which is her current dilemma.
  226. [16:40:23] <GMingPenguin> Reimu expresses discontentmnet with being forced to change her fashion, but Noroiko apparently rolled above 30 on her roll to get Reimu to follow her. She starts to lead the shrine maiden towards one of the doors on the side of the ballroom.
  227. [16:41:48] <Anegumo> "...Outside clothes..." She ponders as Reimu is led in that direction.
  228. [16:43:18] <GMingPenguin> Tomiko returns with a platter of food that would look suspicious to anybody except for Anegumo.
  229. [16:43:19] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...This can't do. As the magician of color this cannot do. She refuses this outcome. But at the same time.........no. She must be brave. ...No, wait. She can't even fight back. ...No, that's why she can run away. She's good at that. Too good. ...Is it even possible to sneak over?
  230. [16:43:43] * Kagiru was still processing the news that Motochi was a priest. Maybe he could be her priest. The very thought made her face as red as the fire fairy.
  231. [16:44:06] <Honoo-Haiiro> Or rush over and sneak over while being ahead. Whichever works.
  232. [16:44:09] <Anegumo> What IS the food? She takes the platter.
  233. [16:45:19] <GMingPenguin> One of Sakuya's specialty dishes, sometimes made for Remilia or Flandre, coveted by those with similar . . . human tastes.
  234. [16:45:28] <GMingPenguin> And I don't mean that the taster is human.
  235. [16:45:59] <Anegumo> She is satisfied with this, "So, I didn't quite gather everything from their little speech...but they were once friend with the redwhite family? And they've been on the outside for some time."
  236. [16:47:47] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou responds, "It appears that way. It also appears that one of your little friends is stalking Noroiko and Reimu." He points at Haiiro attempting to be sneaky.
  237. [16:48:41] <Anegumo> "Well I can't say I'm not curious about outside world clothing either..."
  238. [16:49:30] <GMingPenguin> Motochi descends to the ground, close to Kagiru. Ashiro walks over, and the two start whispering in each other's ears.
  239. [16:50:25] <Anegumo> "But if she wants to get killed by the re-...Reimu, she can do as she pleases."
  240. [16:52:40] <Kagiru> Karisu is held tight against her chest as she approaches Mitochi quietly. She stands far enough away in her mind not to be a bother and just stares awkwardly at the young man and bites her lower lip. Her being a head taller than most women makes her more noticeable than she obviously thinks.
  241. [16:54:31] * Conscript_Gary is now known as Conscript_Busy
  242. [16:54:35] <GMingPenguin> Kagiru catches a couple words of the conversation. "...gami...in motion...make sure it goes well."
  243. [16:55:10] <GMingPenguin> Motochi nods, Ashiro lays a hand on his son's shoulder and gives a squeeze, then the two separate. Motochi starts walking after his mother.
  244. [16:56:12] <GMingPenguin> Ashiro nods at Kagiru as he passes her by, his thin lips held in a slight smile.
  245. [16:57:55] * Serena wanders over to Anegumo with her plate of sweets. Unceremoniously "Who are your friends?"
  246. [16:59:29] <GMingPenguin> Haiiro can, indeed, sneak over to the door, by the way. Noroiko and Reimu have just passed through, and the door isn't locked.
  247. [16:59:36] * Kagiru she nods back at Ashiro absent mindedly, her focus narrowed on his son. She follows idly after Motochi, keeping a safe distance as thoughts of locking him up run through her head.
  248. [16:59:46] <Anegumo> "Ah, yes, you weren't there when Ginkyo had her...break down, were you?"
  249. [17:00:36] <Anegumo> "Basically, the Tengu were running drills, and that's where I met them." She briefly explains to the bee queen.
  250. [17:01:40] <Honoo-Haiiro> Of course she's following now. Full camo stealth mode. Can she even change the colors of the clothes if she's being taken directly to them? ...It might be worth a shot, somehow. As it comes.
  251. [17:05:01] * Serena bows to the two of them "We are Queen Serena Apis. Its a pleasure to meet you."
  252. [17:05:56] <GMingPenguin> Haiiro slips through the door behind Noroiko and Reimu. In the open corridor, only her color-changing camoflage keeps her stealthy, allowing her to follow right behind the two even when Noroiko glances behind herself. Haiiro is unspotted.
  253. [17:06:44] <Honoo-Haiiro> Thank god she's grown resistant to heart attacks. That's what happens when you cheat death all the time!
  254. [17:06:53] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou bows, "I am Kireigou o the Tengu Patrol, though when I am duty I am known as Jebryu. This is my sister, Tomiko. She is not on the Tengu Patrol."
  255. [17:07:33] * Anegumo is suddenly very nervous.
  256. [17:09:23] <GMingPenguin> Tomiko bows, then says, "Oh, I think I've met you before! Seihou grill, I was your waitress."
  257. [17:09:28] * Kagiru finally musters the courage to tap on Mitochi's shoulder as he walks away, though once she's done she has no plan for what should happen after. Fumbling she pulls out the small gift she had brought and holds it out in front of her.
  258. [17:11:37] <Serena> "Ah, the patrols must be very lonely for you. Its nice to see you have family that will accompany you to these parties." She realizes she came alone and stuff her face with another confection.
  259. [17:12:16] <GMingPenguin> Kagiru taps Motochi on the shoulder right before he opens the door to the corridor. He turns around and starts to say, "pardon me, but I have an errand I need to-" He then sees Kagiru's face and gift. "Oh, ah, what's this?"
  260. [17:12:58] <GMingPenguin> Haiiro, meanwhile, follows Noroiko and Reimu further into the bowels on the manor. They come aross a young woman in the halls.
  261. [17:14:04] <GMingPenguin> "Reimu, I would like to introduce you to my daughter, Sokkuri. You haven't met her yet, but she's been studying about you ever since before we came to Gensokyo."
  262. [17:14:38] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Ah? ...Even if she doesn't get a chance, she might have something here.
  263. [17:15:13] <Kagiru> She puts the box in his hands awkwardly. "I-it's a housewarming, um, gift. You have to bring gifts in the heavens. So here's a gift. For you, I mean." Her voice trails off as she talks, getting quieter and quieter. "It's a key."
  264. [17:16:11] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou grins. "The patrols are never lonely, one can never be lonely in service to the youkai mountain and the Great Tengu. And yes, I feel just SO GLAD to have my family show up here. Just so honored." He elbows Tomiko.
  265. [17:18:13] <GMingPenguin> Motochi responds to Kagiru, "You're a kami, right? One of the gods of Gensokyo?" He accepts the gift. "A key must relate strongly to your domain. Is it called domain? Sorry, this is my first time meeting a god."
  266. [17:20:46] * Serena notices Tomiko for real, I guess she just has forgettable service person sort of face. "Ah, yes. the Seihou Grill. We've been meaning to return there. Anyway, Anegumo have you seen Haiiro, We lost track of her when We were getting some more horse devours[sic]."
  267. [17:21:05] <GMingPenguin> Sokkuri bows to Reimu. "It is an honor finally meeting you, oh shrine maiden of paradise. It will be an honor to play your role for a while."
  268. [17:21:29] * Anegumo twitches at the mispronounciation, "She...went off that way." She gestures to a door that they exited out of.
  269. [17:22:18] <Kagiru> She holds her hands clasped in front of herself, eyes looking everywhere but his face. "You can call it a domain, yes. It's more of a job, really. W-what gods is your shrine for? Not that it's important. I just want to know. Not really want to know it. But it's just curiousity. Tell me."
  270. [17:22:22] <GMingPenguin> Reimu responds, "...play my role? What do you mean?"
  271. [17:22:36] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Play her role? ...As long as she doesn't like, attempt to take it away from Reimu, and just be another competitor, that's fine. ...But maybe this other one might be fun to chat up later. ...Maybe. As the best spy, she listens.
  272. [17:25:16] <GMingPenguin> "Our shrine? It's...not really for a god. I'm not supposed to talk about it. I've, ah, my father wants me to go do something for him, so..."
  273. [17:25:53] <GMingPenguin> Sokkuri shrugs, "You know, play your role, be the shrine maiden of paradise for a while. What, you really thought that my mom brought you back here for clothes?"
  274. [17:26:32] <GMingPenguin> Reimu looks at Noroiko. "What is the meaning of this?"
  275. [17:27:32] <GMingPenguin> Noroiko responds, "Remember how we said that our family had such respect for the Hakurei lineage that you were immune to the effects of our magical damper on combat? That was a lie." In one instant she has a sealing amulet in her hand. In the next instant it is on Reimu's forehead.
  276. [17:27:34] <Kagiru> She manages to mumble out in a whisper, "I-I could be your god." The words leaving her lips bring the tremendous blush back to her pale skin. Pulling the brim of her hat down even further, she quickly turns around and disappears into the mingling mob of partygoers.
  277. [17:28:35] <GMingPenguin> Sokkuri bends over and shakes her hair with her hands. It changes color to Reimu's brown, and her outfit morphs into the instantly recognizable red-white. Her body takes on Reimu's form, and even her voice changes, "Ah! MOther, do I have every detail right?"
  278. [17:30:52] <GMingPenguin> Noroiko opens a linen closet behind her and pulls out a blanket. She sweeps it over Reimu and lets go; as the blanket falls to the floor, Reimu shrinks, until she is about the size of a figma. Noroiko bends down to swaddle the "figure" in the blanket and stands up before responding. "Remember, I'm not your mother anymore, you're entirely Reimu."
  279. [17:32:01] * Serena looks at the door, to the others, then back to the door. "Hmmmm... Ah well. Suppose she had to go 'off on her own'.""
  280. [17:32:31] <GMingPenguin> Motoch watches Kagiru depart. Once she disappears into the crowd he slips the key into a hiding spot in his kimono, and opens the door to enter the hallway.
  281. [17:33:45] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...She did! She seriously did! This cannot stand. She can't let it stand. She's...well she knows she has a quick way to escape, but...she has to retrieve the mini-Reimu. At least have it in her hands. Arms. However small she got. CONTINUE TAILING.
  282. [17:34:41] <Honoo-Haiiro> If her non-combat magic is nullified, well, that'll save her some distress. Otherwise she can make this rather harmless!
  283. [17:35:01] <GMingPenguin> The fake Reimu says, "I apologize Miss Warei, but I do not wish to accept any of your offered clothing at this time, but I thank you for your thoughtfulness. Now, I must return to the party."
  284. [17:36:41] <GMingPenguin> "I understand, miss Hakurei. Appearences must be maintained. Go and do your duty as a member of your family." Noroiko bows at her daughter-turned-Reimu, and the latter walks right past Haiiro on her way back to the party.
  285. [17:37:34] <Honoo-Haiiro> STOP SWEATING BULLETS, HAIIRO. IT'S UNSIGHTLY. ...SO SHE MIGHT LITERALLY BE UNSEEABLE WITH THIS RAD STEALTH, BUT...AAAAA.
  286. [17:39:55] <GMingPenguin> "Reimu" and Motochi pass each other in the hallway, bow, then continue on their paths. Motochi passes by Haiiro and stops before his mother. "So, I see that the family is going through with this plan of 'ours.'" His language isn't quite as respectful as they should be.
  287. [17:42:47] <GMingPenguin> His mother replies, "Why can't you be as enthusiastic as your sister? This is family business and you know it. Now, play your part, and take the shrine maiden, heh, miniature to her resting place." She hands over the swaddled frozen miniature Reimu.
  288. [17:45:05] <GMingPenguin> He takes the blanket and its package into his arms. "Our family's duty," is all he says as he walks away from his mother, further into the manor.
  289. [17:45:36] * Anegumo watches Reimu leave the hallway, frowning as she isn't wearing an outside world dress. she wanted to see...
  290. [17:46:07] * Kagiru spies Serena and walks towards her moping, having picked up another bottle of sake. "How is your party?"
  291. [17:46:20] <GMingPenguin> Noroiko smiles and starts to walk back towards the ballroom. As she passes by Haiiro, however, she stops and sniffs the air. "I smell magic..."
  292. [17:47:41] <Serena> "We've been enjoying it, We suppose. The hosts seem a bit more dour than the last couple people to come to Gensokyo... and they didn't hire a band."
  293. [17:47:44] <Honoo-Haiiro> It'd be more surprising if she didn't smell sweat at this point. This is bad. So bad. Too bad. Infinite bad works. Omegabad. JUST KEEP ON MOVING. IF YOU MOVE AWAY, AND TOWARDS THE OTHER ONE, SHE MIGHT STOP SMELLING IT.
  294. [17:47:47] <GMingPenguin> "Reimu" enters the ballroom and stretches, pulling her arms behind her head. She spots Marisa, currently talking with Alice and Patchouli over an interesting grimoire as Ashiro stands off to the side smirking. She walks over.
  295. [17:48:39] * Serena looks at Kagiru's still blushing face. "How's your party been? Seems like you've been a little excited."
  296. [17:49:36] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...If she turns and walks back over, cue desperate, quick action. But only if it happens.
  297. [17:49:42] <GMingPenguin> "'ey Marisa, you've got some black on you." "Reimu" points at the now-black apron and other parts of Marisa's outfit which used to be white.
  298. [17:49:52] <GMingPenguin> Marisa looks down, and almost drops the grimoire. "Whaaaa?!"
  299. [17:49:57] <Honoo-Haiiro> Ho ho ho.
  300. [17:50:07] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...A shame she's not there. But maybe Honoo can appreciate it!
  301. [17:50:27] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Probably too busy snacking. And possibly encroaching on Cirno's table.
  302. [17:51:04] <GMingPenguin> Noroiko holds a hand up for a moment. A black cloud appears on her palm. "The smell is right . . . there!" She unleashes an ominous blast! It scatters harmfully on the floorboards where Haiiro HAD been hiding, before she set off to follow Motochi.
  303. [17:51:05] <Kagiru> "One of them was very cute. He needs to be under lock and key." She stares at the little queen for a moment. "What is a band?"
  304. [17:51:51] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou speaks up. "You don't know what a band is? I'm in a band! It's when you get a bunch of people together with musical instruments, and make a bunch of awesome music."
  305. [17:52:41] <Honoo-Haiiro> CHILLS OF INFINITE PROPORTIONS. Maybe that might combat the sweat. Unless it was a cold sweat. ....STAY QUIET. HER LOCATION IS OUTDATED. KEEP ON MOVING. WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT. WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT. WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT.
  306. [17:52:44] <Kagiru> "Oh. That must be nice. We have three guys who scream all the time. It's the same thing."
  307. [17:53:04] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...If she blasts again with a more updated location, that can be a desperate action time too.
  308. [17:53:12] <Anegumo> "Oh, I didn't know that." She says, looking at Kireigou, "I just play humbly on my Shamisen."
  309. [17:53:58] <GMingPenguin> "Jazz has swept the Youkai Mountain recently. As it turns out, I'm a genius at the saxaphone."
  310. [17:54:46] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou heads up several flights of stairs until he reaches the roof. He exits the manor to cross the roof, where the shrine is located.
  311. [17:54:51] <Serena> "We've never heard Jazz. How does it sound?'
  312. [17:55:04] <Kagiru> "A sakusufono? Is that a bug?"
  313. [17:55:07] <Anegumo> (Kireigou does?)
  314. [17:55:19] <GMingPenguin> (Er, Motochi)
  315. [17:55:27] <Anegumo> (was gonna say)
  316. [17:55:35] <Anegumo> "Oh, that's that...long, metal instrument, correct?" She actually seems interested.
  317. [17:55:46] <Anegumo> "I've been looking at a lot of outside magazines lately."
  318. [17:57:06] <GMingPenguin> "It's an Outside, Western instrument, long, metal, and sounds beautiful."
  319. [17:57:27] <Serena> "Have you ever eaten a Sakusufuno?"
  320. [17:58:48] <Anegumo> "Its metal."
  321. [17:59:52] <Serena> "A Metal bug? was it made by the kappa?"
  322. [18:00:19] <Anegumo> "Its not a bug! I think."
  323. [18:00:23] <Kagiru> "There are metal bugs in the hells. Not tasty but good for you."
  324. [18:00:25] <Anegumo> "If its the thing I'm thinking of."
  325. [18:00:44] <GMingPenguin> Motochi opens the door to the shrine and enters. He slides the door shut, and Haiiro can see a magical barrier appear over the door...
  326. [18:01:35] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou responds, "It's not alive, it's something you make music with."
  327. [18:03:02] <Kagiru> "So you kill the bug first, and then play it?"
  328. [18:04:14] <GMingPenguin> "Yes. You have to kill the bug first. Actually, it's an underground bug, that lives in the rocks. You have to smash a bunch of rocks to get enough bugs to put together to make a saxaphone."
  329. [18:04:52] <Serena> "More bugs living undregound?!" Serena goes a little flush.
  330. [18:05:05] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou looks at Serena. "Not you too."
  331. [18:05:25] * Anegumo scratches her head, and just decides to eat more food. she's still eyeing the humans hungrily though...
  332. [18:05:48] * Kagiru pats Serena on the shoulder. "Underground things are strong. You have a fight on your hands."
  333. [18:06:17] <Serena> "US!? No, We don't live underground. Its just, those underground bees are such... JERKS!"
  334. [18:06:30] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Hrm. He'll...be coming out of there, right? So a barrier might prevent someone from getting through, but if she were to try something completely different...
  335. [18:07:16] <Kagiru> "You should imprison them. That always works."
  336. [18:09:14] <Anegumo> "I'm not surprised to hear that from an imprisonment god..."
  337. [18:09:55] <GMingPenguin> The party has mingled a bit by now. Humans have let down their guard, calmed by the fact that youkai can't prey upon them here. Smack dab in the middle stands Reimu, picking up a tray of food, and putting more food onto it.
  338. [18:10:00] <Serena> "We... we don't want to talk about it right now. They my have sent an emissary to the party." She tries to think of another subject, and almost strains herself.
  339. [18:10:08] <Kagiru> "I'm a god of prisons, not imprisonments. If you wish to pray to someone to help you get someone into a prison, I advise one of the gods of law."
  340. [18:10:14] <GMingPenguin> "This party's been great Marisa, but I think it's about time to head back to the shrine. They've given this food to us, yeah? Let's take plent of it home."
  341. [18:10:43] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...If he doesn't come out, she's going to need the most insane of desperate attempts.
  342. [18:11:05] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...ALL OF THE INSANE, DESPERATE ATTEMPTS.
  343. [18:11:56] <GMingPenguin> Haiiro can't get in to the shrine, but she can hear what's going on inside. There are two voices, one belonging to Motochi, the other belonging to . . . someone far, far, far, far old. He sounds dead. You can't understand what is being said as it is a language you have not heard before, but the older voice sounds like it's lecturing Motochi.
  344. [18:12:29] <Anegumo> "I'm just thankful we don't have to worry about prison in the gensokyo."
  345. [18:13:07] <Anegumo> "Worst I've ever had to worry about is making the red-white angry."
  346. [18:13:14] <Kagiru> "Should you anger the heavens you may end up under my care."
  347. [18:13:39] * Anegumo shrugs, "As I said, gods aren't tasty, so No worries!" She smiles.
  348. [18:14:32] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Oh no. That's not gonna happen, is it. Moving the shrine itself, bad idea. ...There's other desperate things she can do, though. Just wait really close to the shrine. Thank god White Wind is readied. The moment that jerk so much as opens the door, SHE IS GOING TO FLY IN AND TAKE WHAT SHE WANTS AND TELEPORT OUT. WHILE FLYING. OUT. IN CASE TELEPORTING DOESN'T WORK. They'll never know what hit em.
  349. [18:15:09] <GMingPenguin> A paper shikigami taps Haiiro on the shoulder.
  350. [18:15:45] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...
  351. [18:16:07] <Honoo-Haiiro> A small 'hi' in black appears in black in the shikigami's...where the face should be.
  352. [18:16:17] <Kagiru> "I do not know how I taste. I might be tasty."
  353. [18:17:11] <GMingPenguin> With its origami arms, it points away from the shrine.
  354. [18:18:45] <GMingPenguin> As "Reimu" and Marisa leave the ballroom, Reimu says to Marisa just a little bit too loud, "Their food is great, but there's something smelly going on. Always is, you know?" Marisa nods knowingly.
  355. [18:19:42] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Is that so. A black 'Fine, fine, I'm leaving.' appears, and Haiiro attempts to teleport. ...A side. ...She hopes Realmu can be targetted by magic, despite the barrier, as she makes way for her house. Since that's probably a safe place. If not, well, she's got two uses.
  356. [18:22:40] <Anegumo> She shakes her head, "No, Gods don't smell tasty."
  357. [18:23:02] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Sadly, she's not coming back if it's safe where she is, and she doesn't get the Reimu. But at least she'll know.
  358. [18:23:23] <GMingPenguin> Realmu can not be targetted within the shrine. She can't even be sensed in there any more.
  359. [18:25:03] <Honoo-Haiiro> Oh dear. She was much too late, wasn't she? Oh well. It'll be more fun this way. Either way, this doesn't get any fishier. She's gonna have to get the hell out of here. Promptly. ...And accidentally leave Honoo behind, who suddenly feels lonely, and flies about, snacks in hand.
  360. [18:26:07] <GMingPenguin> Ashiro returns to the stage, and the lights switch their focus to him.
  361. [18:26:28] <Anegumo> "What is taking that girl so long." She mutters, seeing Honoo flit around. As long as she doesn't set things on fire without her master she's fine how she is though.
  362. [18:27:03] <Honoo-Haiiro> She could still do that with her wings of fire, to be honest. Sadly she can't actually shoot fireballs with what's going on here.
  363. [18:27:16] <GMingPenguin> "MAy I have your attention, please. Thanks. It has come to my attention that a storm is rising from the east, and it may be on us within the hour. While we would be perfectly willing to let you shelther in this ballroom, if you wish to return to your homes, now is the time..."
  364. [18:28:56] <GMingPenguin> He smiles.
  365. [18:29:12] <GMingPenguin> "If you choose to leave now, then please, take a bottle of sake with you. We love to share our gifts."
  366. [18:29:17] <Anegumo> "The party had just started..."
  367. [18:29:38] <Kagiru> "We could just stay here. I have no home to go back to."
  368. [18:30:33] <Honoo-Haiiro> Still, with the ability to fly fast, Honoo circles about. Something's up. Something HAS to be up. ...Also, she can go home in mere minutes. Gotta eat snacks.
  369. [18:32:22] <Anegumo> "Hrm, while I wouldn't mind moving the party to my home, I really wanted to see some of the dresses they brought from the outside."
  370. [18:32:33] <GMingPenguin> Mostly humans start to leave, but some youkai are heading home as well. They all have a bottle of sake in their arms.
  371. [18:32:59] <GMingPenguin> Noroiko stands by the door, smiling at every gues as they leave.
  372. [18:33:59] * Anegumo sees this, and grabs a sake bottle herself.
  373. [18:34:47] <Kagiru> "Let us stay then. It can be a slumber celebration."
  374. [18:35:12] <Anegumo> "But all the food is leaving." She glowers as the humans leave.
  375. [18:38:20] <Honoo-Haiiro> Honoo mutters to herself. "...did she go home already...but I didn't see her...she's good at sneaking around, but...why would she sneak out..."
  376. [18:38:35] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou speaks up, "You now, we can head back to the Youkai mountain. Take the party there, show you what a saxaphone is..."
  377. [18:39:02] <Anegumo> "Hmm...and that way I don't have to clean my home afterwards..."
  378. [18:39:08] <Anegumo> "I'll take your offer~"
  379. [18:39:16] <GMingPenguin> "I know a couple of good secretive areas. Just don't tell Aya or Momiji, hehe."
  380. [18:40:09] <Kagiru> "I accept your hospitality."
  381. [18:41:46] <GMingPenguin> "Well, let's go before the rain arrives! Don't want to get my fur all matted. Say, did your little friend ever come back?"
  382. [18:43:28] <Honoo-Haiiro> Honoo's circling quickly increases in speed the moment someone mentions rain.
  383. [18:44:08] <GMingPenguin> "We should take that flighty one with us, too. Shall we?"
  384. [18:44:22] <Anegumo> "Oi. Fae." She whistles as if honoo was a dog.
  385. [18:45:35] * Kagiru holds out her hands as a landing pad for the little fairy.
  386. [18:45:55] <GMingPenguin> I don't think Honoo is that small.
  387. [18:47:53] <Honoo-Haiiro> She's not that small, but perhaps she can get both her feet on there. ...Which she totally does. Pretty lightweight. "...I want to, but...can I go home first? Wanna see if she went home when no one was looking.
  388. [18:49:12] <Honoo-Haiiro> "
  389. [18:49:20] <Anegumo> "No one is stopping you," She says, leaving with her own bottle of sake she brought along iwth the one 'given' to her.
  390. [18:50:08] <Anegumo> "Your mansion is on the way, isn't it?"
  391. [18:50:28] * Kagiru hugs Honoo to her chest like a child. "We can go."
  392. [18:51:29] <GMingPenguin> Tomiko speaks up, "Yeah, you can go with your friends 'Jebryu.' I'm going to go home. Gotta work in the morning."
  393. [18:51:35] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Is it? Oh, that works~!" Honoo lets herself be hugged. "Let's go!" She points forward.
  394. [18:52:35] * Anegumo says nothing to Tomiko as she leaves. She waves though.
  395. [18:52:46] <GMingPenguin> Only a couple of youkai are still in the ballroom as the party leaves. Mostly the drunk ones. The paper shikigami close the gate as the party leaves...
  396. [18:53:16] * Kagiru idly wonders what lock they use on their gate as they leave. Probably an expensive one.
  397. [18:56:24] <GMingPenguin> The rain approaches faster than they thought. The party reaches Haiiro's "house" right before the rain falls.
  398. [18:56:33] <GMingPenguin> Take it over, H.
  399. [18:57:17] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...and, as it's on the way, it's very easily noticable! A large mansion, definitely on scale with the miniature, looms. It...has quite the messy color scheme. In fact, it looks like someone got a multi-color paintball gun and went at it for hours, not a single part of the place untouched. You could call it a work of art, if you're the type that thinks it's art. The only thing one color is the doorknob, which is a nice, shiny black. Also of note, the chimney is huge. ...It's also locked, if you try opening it. Honoo's too busy being held to check, herself.
  400. [18:58:11] <Honoo-Haiiro> ...Oh, and the windows are all a different colored glass, but at least they have the nerve to be one.
  401. [18:58:29] <Anegumo> "...very gaudy." She scowls at the pink parts.
  402. [18:58:43] <Kagiru> "It is ... colorful."
  403. [19:00:17] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Yep! Like she is, she says." Honoo nods.
  404. [19:00:20] <Serena> "That seems pretty big. Pretty garish."
  405. [19:00:41] * Kagiru simply grabs onto the doorknob and the locks disengage noisily. Turning it she opens the door to whatever lies within. "It was locked."
  406. [19:01:06] <Honoo-Haiiro> "She likes to call it bold--locked? ...Huh. She never locks the door."
  407. [19:01:37] <GMingPenguin> The rain strikes.
  408. [19:01:53] <GMingPenguin> Sky tears pierce the air to bomb the ground!
  409. [19:02:22] <GMingPenguin> In the distance, lightning connects the cloud to a tree, and the tree is ripped asunder!
  410. [19:02:37] <Honoo-Haiiro> As you didn't knock, there's no Haiiro to greet you. Just at least three different doors, and a load of furniture. Couches, bookshelves with pretty normal looking books, so on...exactly as colorful as the outside of it. ...And from one of the doors, 'ohdearohdearohdearohdearohdearohdearohdearohdearohdearohdear'.
  411. [19:02:37] * Kagiru quickly enters the house to protect her little burning doll.
  412. [19:03:07] <Honoo-Haiiro> Honoo appreciates it! She'd have to have used her as cover if she didn't, so perhaps it's all for the best.
  413. [19:03:33] * Anegumo makes sure that isn't HER tree in the distance.
  414. [19:03:39] <GMingPenguin> Nope. Just A tree.
  415. [19:04:29] <Honoo-Haiiro> It's the one on the right, by the way! The other doors are to the left and up some stairs.
  416. [19:05:12] <Kagiru> "Is there normally ohdears in this house?"
  417. [19:06:34] <Honoo-Haiiro> Honoo doesn't say anything. She looks puzzled, if anything, but figures if they're gonna break in, she might as well be quieter than...well, normal when Haiiro isn't around. "...Occasionally. Like, when she escapes from a dangerous situation by a hair, and is definitely being pursued, or other things like that. She gets over it eventually. Usually. ...Something did happen..."
  418. [19:06:40] <Serena> "it sounds like its a problem."
  419. [19:06:52] <Serena> "maybe some sort of infestation of ohdears."
  420. [19:07:52] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...Oooh, never heard of those. Maybe that's what it is. ...Maybe it's...con..tag...eous...spreads? Spreads."
  421. [19:08:12] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...But, if it did, she wouldn't go home, she'd spread it to everyone she could. Hmmm..."
  422. [19:08:42] <Anegumo> "Great...Another problem?" She goes over to the door and knocks, "HEY, Color Wizard."
  423. [19:10:44] <Honoo-Haiiro> It quickly stops. "...That's...hey! ...Wait, what if...p-prove you're actually Anegumo!" She speaks through the other end of the door, not opening it. How flustered, she is.
  424. [19:10:58] <Anegumo> "Are you drunk."
  425. [19:11:04] <Anegumo> "Did you get drunk without us?!"
  426. [19:11:53] <Honoo-Haiiro> "I AM THE OPPOSITE OF DRUNK AND WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF I HAD TWO BOTTLES"
  427. [19:12:06] <Kagiru> "That's very rude. We were going to have a slumber celebration."
  428. [19:12:48] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Oh god there's more behind there isn't there"
  429. [19:13:10] <Serena> "More what?"
  430. [19:13:13] <Anegumo> "I actually have two bottles."
  431. [19:13:42] <Anegumo> "Haiiro, let us in." She sounds annoyed.
  432. [19:14:13] <Kagiru> "I cannot be kept out, magician."
  433. [19:14:21] <Honoo-Haiiro> "I didn't get the chance to bring one though, so if someone else has two it'd be appreciated if they shared--hey! Just prove you are who you are and I'll come out. Otherwise I'm gonna blow you up. In a flash."
  434. [19:15:09] <Honoo-Haiiro> Honoo's content with munching on the snacks she brought.
  435. [19:15:28] <Kagiru> "I have your fairy. She is warm."
  436. [19:16:09] <Honoo-Haiiro> "How warm?"
  437. [19:16:11] <Honoo-Haiiro> Honoo responds with a blast of fire, blowing up the door.
  438. [19:16:25] <Anegumo> "That warm."
  439. [19:16:57] * Anegumo looks somewhat relieved.
  440. [19:17:54] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...Works for me." The room inside is actually completely black and white, with a little extra black, and plenty of magical tomes. "I totally had to do that for a reason, you know. Lock the door. Shut myself in."
  441. [19:18:00] <Anegumo> "There, do you believe us?"
  442. [19:18:17] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Stuff. Happened. Lots of stuff. Bad stuff."
  443. [19:18:41] <Kagiru> "Did you have an accident? A bathroom accident? In your pants?"
  444. [19:19:29] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...No. No. OK, so I followed Reimu in, right? ...You saw that, right?"
  445. [19:19:55] <Honoo-Haiiro> "And I definitely didn't follow her out."
  446. [19:20:11] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Even if I had followed Reimu out, I wouldn't have followed her out."
  447. [19:20:27] <Anegumo> "You didn't. she didn't even wear one of the dresses that family offered her."
  448. [19:20:57] <Honoo-Haiiro> "They never offered her any dresses. Any real ones."
  449. [19:21:09] <Anegumo> "Well that's boring."
  450. [19:21:10] <Serena> "thats seems very rude of them."
  451. [19:21:23] <Serena> "To offer her a dress and then not give it to her."
  452. [19:21:34] <Anegumo> "Agreed. I wanted to see one so I could copy it."
  453. [19:21:39] <Kagiru> "Was it a nice dress?"
  454. [19:21:49] <Honoo-Haiiro> "No, the rude part is where they sealed her power, shrunk her, and put her in the shrine on the roof."
  455. [19:22:08] <Honoo-Haiiro> "And then copied her appearance and left, pretending to be her."
  456. [19:22:12] <Honoo-Haiiro> "That was the rude part."
  457. [19:22:25] <Anegumo> "What."
  458. [19:22:35] <Kagiru> "What?"
  459. [19:22:38] <Serena> "Waht?"
  460. [19:22:41] <Anegumo> "Are you sure you aren't drunk." Anegumo inspects her.
  461. [19:23:11] <Honoo-Haiiro> "I am most definitely sure I am not drunk, now give me that bottle so I can be and forget that happened for a minute."
  462. [19:24:38] <Kagiru> "Which miko is Reimu?"
  463. [19:24:51] <Serena> "Red and white"
  464. [19:25:04] <Serena> "also, apparently, the tiny one."
  465. [19:25:12] <Kagiru> "Oh, the one we threw a party for. She was nice."
  466. [19:25:41] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Yeah, she gets it. Tiny, stuffed into a blanket, shoved into a magic-proof shrine with a really scary voice inside it."
  467. [19:25:54] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Couldn't even feel she was there when they closed the door."
  468. [19:26:47] <Anegumo> "Hey." She says to Kagiru, "You were getting close and flirty with the son, did he seem suspicious to you?"
  469. [19:27:11] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...And then the...which one was it...well, there was one named Sokkuri. That's the Reimu that's out there now."
  470. [19:27:25] <Honoo-Haiiro> "The Reimu that isn't Reimu. And that's terrible."
  471. [19:28:47] <Kagiru> "I-I WASN'T FLIRTING!" She claps her hand over her mouth in surprise at her outburts, then clears her throat and pretends it didn't happen. "He said their shrine didn't have a god, and that he couldn't talk about it."
  472. [19:29:27] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...Then that must have been their god. Oh gods, I heard a dark god lecture."
  473. [19:29:36] <Anegumo> "That's good enough for me. I'm not sure if I fully believe Haiiro, but obviously something fishy is going on."
  474. [19:30:04] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Sake. Now. Please. I need to calm my nerves. Badly. Please."
  475. [19:30:21] * Anegumo rolls her eyes and pours haiiro some sake, her personal stuff
  476. [19:30:37] * Anegumo looks at Kireigou
  477. [19:30:54] <GMingPenguin> "Sounds serious."
  478. [19:31:18] <Honoo-Haiiro> Sake, get! "...Ahh, that feels better. ...One of them didn't seem all thrilled with the whole couping Reimu thing. Which one even was that..."
  479. [19:32:03] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...Motochi? I think it was Motochi."
  480. [19:32:05] <Anegumo> "Sounds serious' is that all you have to say? aren't you a tengu guard? what do you plan to do about it."
  481. [19:32:24] <Anegumo> "Oh, that was the son Kagiru was being all flirty-flirty with."
  482. [19:33:40] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Yeah, better luck next time, Kagiru."
  483. [19:33:54] <GMingPenguin> "I am an officer of the tengu patrol, buuuuut, we aren't to interfere with any shrine maiden business. Something from some incident a while ago, where one of the Crow Tengu got beat up in a token effort..."
  484. [19:34:25] <GMingPenguin> "I'd report this, but I don't know if the Great Tengu will want us to do anything. I don't have much evidence anyways. No offence, but the word of a magician is not the word of a tengu."
  485. [19:34:42] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Oh, was that Aya? Something about that Moriya Shrine? I kept tabs on that one."
  486. [19:34:56] * Kagiru punches Anegumo in the arm. "I wasn't flirting. Shut up."
  487. [19:35:20] <GMingPenguin> "Was it Aya?" He smirks. "I can't say that I want to say if it was Aya."
  488. [19:35:49] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Who knows? You tengu move fast. Maybe I saw wrong."
  489. [19:36:17] <Honoo-Haiiro> "...In any case, you have my word, but at the same time my word isn't worth much, because the people that know me besides most of you probably won't believe me BECAUSE they know me. But it did happen, honest!"
  490. [19:36:19] <Anegumo> "Hrm. I suppose." she rubs Kireigou's shoulder, trying to pretend like her own isn't hurting from Kagiru.
  491. [19:37:50] <Anegumo> "Go ahead and report the things that you can, Ki. It couldn't hurt."
  492. [19:38:10] <Honoo-Haiiro> "It COULD hurt."
  493. [19:38:21] <GMingPenguin> "Hm? How could it hurt?"
  494. [19:38:27] <Anegumo> "...Thus the 'things that you can' part."
  495. [19:38:46] <GMingPenguin> "I see. Names will not be dropped."
  496. [19:38:59] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Thank you."
  497. [19:39:20] <Anegumo> "Now that that's out of the way, can't we just party before the 'storm' hits?"
  498. [19:39:23] <Kagiru> "You can say my name."
  499. [19:39:27] <Honoo-Haiiro> Siiiiiiiiiiip. She looks dead set on getting a hangover so fierce it blows up half her mind.
  500. [19:40:03] <Honoo-Haiiro> "Feel free! My house is yours, just don't break anything and don't let any shrine maidens in!"
  501. [19:40:06] <Anegumo> "it'd be nice to have one last relaxing moment before we have to get involved with this nonsense again."
  502. [19:40:29] <GMingPenguin> Kireigou reaches into his robes and pulls out four bottles of sake. "I may have taken more than the one allotted to me," he says with a grin.
  503. [19:40:45] <Honoo-Haiiro> "You are the best person."
  504. [19:40:51] * Anegumo claps her hand together, "THAT is why I haven't eaten you yet~"
  505. [19:42:13] <Honoo-Haiiro> "You are sharing that, right."
  506. [19:42:33] <Kagiru> "Of course he is. A god needs her offering."
  507. [19:42:53] * Anegumo begins pouring everyone sake, saying to Kireigou, "Congratulations on our ten day anniversary, most don't get past 3." She smiles.
  508. [19:43:23] <Honoo-Haiiro> Haiiro drinks herself into a coma, eventually. And it feels great.
  509. [19:43:24] <GMingPenguin> And thus another day ends in Gensokyo, at the start of a new incident. Who knows what the doppleganger in Reimu's place will do, or what the Warei family has planned, but tonight, the girls are preparing warmly...
