| Hello Purvis:
>YOU ARE MINAMITSU MURASA! Everyone?s favorite nautical disaster! >You are, to put it bluntly, dead. You?ve been that way most of your life, really and are used to it. In particular, you died at sea, and spent a good long time haunting and sinking ships. But that was a long time ago and you don?t do that sort of thing anymore. Not in any sense that counts? These days, you inhabit the Myouren Temple, doing your best to adhere to its brand of buddhism. You aren?t the best monk, to be honest, but you do your best and that earns you praise enough. Realistically, you tend to do various jobs around the temple, or sometimes work in the clinic in Former Hell. Other times to you wander about, sometimes inviting yourself to drop in the various manors in Gensokyo when they?ll have you. >Today began like any other day, but you?ve been feeling...strange. As a ghost, there?s some things that just bother you. You do not like the direction north, you try not to sit facing that way, you don?t like having to walk further north than the temple. Higan is that way, and you are not ready. Funerals and such fascinate you, and you can?t say why, so too do ghost stories. It?s not uncommon for you to be drawn toward a little get-together on summer nights and scare the people there. And there?s boats...best not to think about those. You make model ones, sometimes... But today...today is different. There?s something in the air, something that sinks down to your bones? It?s set your teeth on edge. >Currently, you are in front of the Myouren Temple. You had hoped stepping outside would change things, but no. You still feel it. Kyouko is currently sweeping up the front path, and you can see that Shou is trying to adjust one of the new buddha statues that has come in. There?s no one but temple residents around, which is normal for mid morning. To the south and east lies the whole of human town, bustling away. Though in the immediate area, it is rather quiet, the only person you can see is a middle-aged woman gathering water from the well outside the temple gates. To the north are fields and farms, and a lone road leading outward. Obvious Exits are South, East, West, and North. >_ |

Not that you get much chance to use this. You were even a dab hand at the the flying arc! Before Hijiri grounded it to make the Myouren Temple. >Buddhist Understanding >You may not be the best buddhist in the world, but you do have a fairly good understanding of buddhist scriptures and practices, and in particular how they entwine with local beliefs. >Sutracraft >You can chant sutras a pretty well. They never seem to do much for you, but it can be terrible calming. >First Aiding >You are very proficient at first aid due to your work with the Underground clinic. Also you know a lot of hangover cures. >Whittlemastery >You are a very very accomplished whittler. You've made a variety of model ships! >Swimming >You've learned to be very good at it. >Your inventory contains >Nautical hat! >It is jaunty! >Nautical blouse >Fit for a captain, thus fit for you. >Nautical Dress >It completes your outfit. You have shorts that look a lot like them, too. >Black shoes. >These have a bit of a ship's deck cobbled into the soles, so you can be more comfortable on land. >Bottomless Dipper >This dipper has no bottom. When you just can't resist the urge to flood a ship, this is will buy some time. >Anchor >It's not that heavy; they stop ships by grabbing onto the bottom. If they did it by weight, they'd sink the ship! >Spellcard: Capsize "Dragging Anchor" >Toss an anchor, leave a trail of water. >Drowning Sign "Deep Vortex" >Water droplet danmaku swirls around your opponent >Harbor Sign "Phantom Ship Harbor" >Lots of anchors! >Phantom "Dipper Creeping Close" >You embrace your ghostly aspect with this survival card. >You are well acquainted and on good terms with every member of the Myouren Temple. Hijiri is someone you respect deeply. Shou is someone you should respect deeply, but she is just too relaxed, and is a good friend. Ichirin is something of a partner in crime, so to speak, both of you are first lines of defense for the temple. Nue is a barrel of laughs. Kyouko is so earnest you feel the need to try to be a good example for her. Mamizou is...shifty. Up to something. But she's your shifty and up to something. >Tojiko is...well, she's a pain. Sharp-tongued, and always on her master's side. You can't blame her, though, she usually doesn't start trouble, compared to the others. But there are times when you'd really like to whack her with an anchor. And there are times when maybe she's alright. >Not like this, no. You've had your share of worries, willies, and jibblies, and this is new. >_ |

> What about Nazrin? > We don't feel any particular sort of ghost kinship with Tojiko at all, do we? > What's Morichika been up to these days? > Are we particularly familiar with anyone outside of the village, excepting Toyosatomimi and her entourage? |

You used to be that way. >You've never really thought about it like that. Huh. >He has been doing pretty well. There's been talk of him and Nazrin working together in Kourindou. >You're pretty familiar with a lot of people. You get on well with Eientei; you hid there some years ago when late fall felt like the worst of summer. You've visited the Scarlet Devil Mansion plenty of times when they have public events. You're on speaking terms with the people at the Palace of the Earth Spirits. Sometimes you drop in on those outsider kids. and in general, you are decently known around the village. >_ |
