>You are Yuyuko Saigyouji.
>Today has been so busy! You settled an argument between the Taoists and the Buddhists (with food), and also settled an argument between Sakuya and Keine (again, with food).
>Then, you went on a mass age-bending of Gensokyo with Yukari. You and her became children again, along with many others. Also, you made some people age. You visited people on Youkai Mountain, underground, dragged people from the SDM, the Human Village and more.
>You also turned 3 people into boys: Toyosatomimi no Miko, Minamitsu Murasa and Sanae (now Sano) Kochiya.
>Now, however, you are in Yuuka's garden with everyone.
>Giggle. "Oh, just Eientei and the two magicians from the forest are left~"
>Beat. "I think?"
>Yukari nods, "Sounds about right~"
>Yuuka laughs, "So, what sparked this off~?"
-
>Giggle. "Well, this all started when I got to wondering how Keine and Mokou looked as children, and it went from there~"
>Smile. "And then I wanted to see if Remilia's charisma would improve, and you can guess the rest~"
-
>Giggle. "Well, this all started when I got to wondering how Keine and Mokou looked as children, and it went from there~"
>Smile. "And then I wanted to see if Remilia's charisma would improve, and you can guess the rest~"
>Yuuka laughs out loud, "Sometimes it's the most trivial little thoughts that can spark the biggest of events~!"
-
>Giggle. "Like when I stole spring for a short time~!"
-
>Giggle. "Like when I stole spring for a short time~!"
>Yuuka smiles, "Ah, yes, yes~... at least you stayed away from summer! I wouldn't have been too happy if my sunflowers died in a prolonged winter~"
-
>Pause. "That reminds me, sometimes spirits will inhabit different flowers~ You remember that one incident a while back, the Unnatural Flowering Incident? I seem to recall hearing something about spirits that come to reside in sunflowers being the bright and cheerful sort in life~"
-
>Pause. "That reminds me, sometimes spirits will inhabit different flowers~ You remember that one incident a while back, the Unnatural Flowering Incident? I seem to recall hearing something about spirits that come to reside in sunflowers being the bright and cheerful sort in life~"
>Yuuka nods with a wide grin, "That's what sunflowers are. Bright, confident, prominent and brilliant leader material. That's why their petal-span is so wide, and they grow extremely tall~"
-
>Smile. "Naturally, though cherry blossoms are quite elegant~"
-
>Smile. "Naturally, though cherry blossoms are quite elegant~"
>Yuuka sneers, "That's why souls that can inhabit them are often elegant, too, isn't that right?"
-
>Nod. "Usually, but sometimes they aren't~ Remember those purple ones at Muenzuka?"
-
>Nod. "Usually, but sometimes they aren't~ Remember those purple ones at Muenzuka?"
>Yuuka thinks for a while, "Oh, yes, yes... but they were still quite pretty~"
-
>Smile. "There's something to be said for the beauty of both good and evil I suppose~"
-
>Smile. "There's something to be said for the beauty of both good and evil I suppose~"
>Yuuka twirls her parasol, "Indeed~."
-
>"But at any rate..."
>Smirk mischievously. "Let's go pay a visit to Eientei~"
>"Oh, and don't worry Mokou dear, that princess will be joining you as a child~"
>Beat.
>"But I don't know if even Yukari can meddle with Eirin's Border of Young and Old, the dear's almost ageless to the point of being a veritable time well~"
-
>"But at any rate..."
>Smirk mischievously. "Let's go pay a visit to Eientei~"
>"Oh, and don't worry Mokou dear, that princess will be joining you as a child~"
>Mokou growls quietly, "Wonder if we're both still immortal as kids..."
>You can see the cogs turning in her head, "Maybe this is my chance..."
>Beat.
>"But I don't know if even Yukari can meddle with Eirin's Border of Young and Old, the dear's almost ageless to the point of being a veritable time well~"
>Yukari blinks, "Eh, as long as there's a border there, I can meddle with it. Besides, Mokou was immortal and unable to age, and I managed to change her age."
-
>Fix Mokou with a stare that says 'We'll be having none of that now, I can tell what you're thinking.'. "Now now dear, play nice~"
>Nod. "Though I wonder if there even is a border in her case."
-
>Fix Mokou with a stare that says 'We'll be having none of that now, I can tell what you're thinking.'. "Now now dear, play nice~"
>Mokou pouts, "Fine... can't say the same for Kaguya, though. She may take her opportunity and smoosh me while she can."
>Nod. "Though I wonder if there even is a border in her case."
>Yukari thinks for a while, "Nobody can be born fully grown except for the curious case of Benjamin Button, so of course she has a border~"
-
>Giggle. "Don't worry about that dear, I'll handle that~"
>"After all, since she only had long life as a child, I can easily hold her under sway with the prospect of experiencing my ability~"
-
>Giggle. "Don't worry about that dear, I'll handle that~"
>"After all, since she only had long life as a child, I can easily hold her under sway with the prospect of experiencing my ability~"
>Mokou gives a devious grin, "'Kay, thanks!"
>Yukari gives another yawn, "Shall we go~?"
-
>Giggle. "Think nothing of it~"
>Nod. "Yes, let's~!"
>When Yukari opens the gap, head through!
-
>Giggle. "Think nothing of it~"
>Nod. "Yes, let's~!"
>When Yukari opens the gap, head through!
>Yukari opens the gap, and you all head through.
>You arrive outside Eientei, and your little group nearly bumps right into Reisen.
>She stumbles backwards, "What the-?!"
-
>Blink a few times, then tacklehug! "Hello~!!"
-
>Blink a few times, then tacklehug! "Hello~!!"
>Reisen yelps as you tacklehug her, not quite sure who you are, "He-hello... what, um... can I do for you?"
>You hear someone shouting from the inside, "Udongein, what's all that racket out there?"
>Reisen calls back, "Just some unexpected visitors, Master!!"
>Eirin walks out onto the front porch, surprised when she sees just how many of you are there, "Well... very unexpected."
-
>Blink a few times, then disengage from Reisen to tacklehug Eirin! "Hiiii~!"
>"I just thought I'd drop by for a visit~! I brought some friends as well~"
-
>Blink a few times, then disengage from Reisen to tacklehug Eirin! "Hiiii~!"
>"I just thought I'd drop by for a visit~! I brought some friends as well~"
>You tacklehug Eirin, and she stumbles backwards a few steps to compensate for the sudden overbalance.
>She stares at you, "I hate to sound rude, Yuyuko, but why are you and so many others here children..? And why are those who are not as children as adults instead? Another one of your little tedium-shattering attempts, is it?"
-
>Giggle and stare up at her like a child who just got praised by a parent. "Heehee, yup~!"
-
>Giggle and stare up at her like a child who just got praised by a parent. "Heehee, yup~!"
>Eirin rolls her eyes with a tiny grin, "Why am I not surprised? Come to yank all of Eientei into this, too, then? I'd be surprised if you weren't."
-
>Giggle. "There's nothing that escapes you is there~?"
-
>Giggle. "There's nothing that escapes you is there~?"
>Eirin shrugs, "Well, I'm no psychologist, but the fact that you have a lot of Gensokyo traipsing after you, and you don't really come down here... at all, to be honest... then that is the only explanation that is even slightly plausible?"
-
>Smile. "Not just slightly plausible, but the truth~!"
>"I was initially helping solve some disputes over various things, then I got the idea to see what Sakuya looked like as a child, and then things kinda grew from there~"
>Giggle. "You see that green-haired little lad over there~? You'll never guess who he is~!"
-
>Smile. "Not just slightly plausible, but the truth~!"
>"I was initially helping solve some disputes over various things, then I got the idea to see what Sakuya looked like as a child, and then things kinda grew from there~"
>Eirin nods once, "Well, it can be said that you are... spontaneously-minded. But the fact that people actually turned to you to help solve a dispute is quite surprising. Was it that massive war that the Buddhists and Taoists were having? Earlier this morning they were fighting over Eientei. Udongein managed to chase them away, though.
>Giggle. "You see that green-haired little lad over there~? You'll never guess who he is~!"
>Eirin stares for a while, before sighing, "Sanae's bluntness finally incurred some consequences, it seems."
-
>Giggle. "As a matter of fact, that was one of the problems. Hakugyoukurou is neutral territory after all."
>"The other problem was a little dispute between Sakuya and Keine over some of the villagers. And that's where we ended up how we are now~"
-
>Giggle. "As a matter of fact, that was one of the problems. Hakugyoukurou is neutral territory after all."
>"The other problem was a little dispute between Sakuya and Keine over some of the villagers. And that's where we ended up how we are now~"
>Eirin smirks briefly, "Oh, so Sakuya was the 'silver-haired bitch that serves a dumb giggler'. I thought that she was referencing me, you know."
>Sakuya and Remilia glare at Keine, who yelps rather loudly.
>Eirin laughs, "Oh, I'm kidding. Keine didn't say anything of the sort. It has just been a slow day, today~"
-
>Giggle. "Well, isn't it rather nice what I've done for some of them though~? Just look at dear little Wriggle~!"
-
>Giggle. "Well, isn't it rather nice what I've done for some of them though~? Just look at dear little Wriggle~!"
>Eirin angles her neck to look at Wriggle, "That's Wriggle? I thought Mima had made a comeback and got some legs."
>Wriggle yells, "Hey!!"
(Woo, Mima~)
-
>Giggle. "No dear, I think she went off somewhere to cool her metaphorical heels~"
>Nod. "But yes, that's Wriggle~! I decided to let her use one of my older outfits~"
-
>Giggle. "No dear, I think she went off somewhere to cool her metaphorical heels~"
>Nod. "But yes, that's Wriggle~! I decided to let her use one of my older outfits~"
>Eirin sighs, "I'm sure this can't be healthy, altering age like that..."
>Yukari snickers, "Says you..."
>Eirin groans, "Don't push your luck, Yukari."
-
>Giggle. "It's only a temporary thing anyways dear~ Just until the next day~"
>Smile. "But if some choose to stay as they have become today, then who am I to get in their way~?"
-
>Giggle. "It's only a temporary thing anyways dear~ Just until the next day~"
>Smile. "But if some choose to stay as they have become today, then who am I to get in their way~?"
>Eirin facepalms, "Imagine the headlines..."
>Reisen laughs, "Already have!"
-
>Giggle. "Aya and Hatate are already among us~ As is that adorable little guard Momiji~So fluffy~!"
-
>Giggle. "Aya and Hatate are already among us~ As is that adorable little guard Momiji~So fluffy~!"
>Eirin smirks, "Indeed... fluffy..."
>Reisen can't stop laughing for... whatever reason.
-
>Float over to Mystia and wrap her up in a hug from behind! "And isn't little Mystia just precious~?"
-
>Float over to Mystia and wrap her up in a hug from behind! "And isn't little Mystia just precious~?"
>Eirin cracks a grin, "Well, Mystia, I'm sure you'd be able to sell more lamprey this way!"
>Mystia whines, "Help me...!"
-
>Let's squeeze a little more, then let go. "She's just so huggable~!"
-
>Let's squeeze a little more, then let go. "She's just so huggable~!"
>Mystia squirms, almost falling to the ground after you let her go.
>Eirin sighs, "I can see."
-
>Giggle. "I can't help it, I'm weak to cuteness~"
>Flash Yukari a look that says 'Let's see how little Reisen looked as a child~!'
-
>Giggle. "I can't help it, I'm weak to cuteness~"
>Flash Yukari a look that says 'Let's see how little Reisen looked as a child~!'
>Eirin smirks, "Don't reveal your weaknesses so freely."
>Yukari winks at you, mouthing "Gotcha."
>She looks back to Reisen, who has since recovered from the laughing fit earlier.
>Reisen shrinks. A. Lot.
>Her hair becomes almost unrecognisably short, similar to that of Sano/Sanae's new hair-length. It also become a dark purple.
>She becomes stick-thin. And this is a literal term. Almost bony.
>Her eyes are almost brown instead of red.
-
>Giggle. "Oh dear~"
>"You really do need to eat more~"
-
>Giggle. "Oh dear~"
>"You really do need to eat more~"
>Reisen looks down at herself, then pouts.
>Eirin looks as if she can't stop herself from laughing.
-
>Smile. "Isn't she adorable~? A bit on the skinny side though, she needs to eat more~!"
-
>Smile. "Isn't she adorable~? A bit on the skinny side though, she needs to eat more~!"
>Reisen whines, "Th-ut up!!"
>Oh, and she has a lisp, too. How cute~!
-
>Oh, this is almost too cute to resist! Tacklehug time~! "So adorable~~!!"
-
>Oh, this is almost too cute to resist! Tacklehug time~! "So adorable~~!!"
>Reisen yelps, actually topping over with the tacklehug, "Thtop it! Pleathe don't do that!"
-
>Pull her up with us, then spin around with her still in the hug! "So adorable~~!!!"
-
>Pull her up with us, then spin around with her still in the hug! "So adorable~~!!!"
>Reisen's head lolls about whilst you spin around, "Urrr... I feel quea-thy...."
>Eirin cracks up, "That is just too precious..."
-
>"Oh~!" Let's stop spinning and set her down gently, so she can sit down and pull herself together.
>"I wonder what dear little Kaguya will have to say about this~?"
-
>"Oh~!" Let's stop spinning and set her down gently, so she can sit down and pull herself together.
>You let Reisen stand on her own two feet. She stumbles around dizzily for a while, before shaking her head and regaining her balance.
>"I wonder what dear little Kaguya will have to say about this~?"
>Eirin shrugs, "I don't know. One second."
>She walks into Eientei, and you can hear her shouting, "Princess! There are some visitors outside, will you come and say hello?"
>You hear Kaguya whine, "Urrrgh, I'm busy!!"
>"I don't have time for whining, Princess, these people have taken time to visit! Please be courteous and greet them!" Eirin shouts back.
>Eirin returns with a rather sleepy-looking Kaguya behind her.
>Behind you, you can hear Mokou growling and Keine trying to hold her in one spot.
-
>Look over at Mokou with a calm, almost amused look that says; 'I'll handle this~'
>Then look over to Kaguya with a cheerful wave. "Hello~!"
-
>Look over at Mokou with a calm, almost amused look that says; 'I'll handle this~'
>Then look over to Kaguya with a cheerful wave. "Hello~!"
>Mokou stays still, but it's obvious she wants to leap and rip Kaguya's throat out.
>Kaguya looks at you with a confused and... almost repulsed face, "Uhh, hi..."
-
>Pout slightly. "Awww...You don't even recognize me~? It hurts me deeply to think that you couldn't recognize me~"
-
>Pout slightly. "Awww...You don't even recognize me~? It hurts me deeply to think that you couldn't recognize me~"
>Kaguya winces, "So... I should recognise you..? I don't remember meeting some... weird little kid... like you..."
-
>Let's make a little butterfly danmaku float over one of our hands, maybe that'll clue her in~
-
>Let's make a little butterfly danmaku float over one of our hands, maybe that'll clue her in~
>She looks at the butterfly danmaku, before cringing, "Oh... hi... Yuyuko..."
-
>Smile. "You know you don't have much to fear from me, what with your immortality and all~"
>Giggle. "And besides, doesn't Reisen look positively adorable~?"
-
>Smile. "You know you don't have much to fear from me, what with your immortality and all~"
>Giggle. "And besides, doesn't Reisen look positively adorable~?"
>Kaguya blinks, looking at Reisen.
>After about three seconds, she bursts into a fit of high-pitched and extremely annoying laughter.
>Mokou growls, "That little-"
>Keine yelps, "Mokou, shush!!"
>Kaguya blinks, "Mokou? Where?"
-
>Look at Yukari with that same look. 'Now for the princess, before things get too dicey~!'
-
>Look at Yukari with that same look. 'Now for the princess, before things get too dicey~!'
>Yukari winks at you.
>Kaguya suddenly shrinks. To about the same height as Reisen. And her hair reaches down way past her feet, to the point where it is trailing down on the floor. And she becomes extremely chubby. Almost like Reimu, just not as much.
-
>Giggle. "Aren't you just adorable~?"
-
>Giggle. "Aren't you just adorable~?"
>Kaguya whines, "What the heck did you do to me?!"
>Mokou laughs obnoxiously, "I had no idea you were so fat as a kid, Kaguya!!"
>Kaguya winces, "That's hurtful..."
-
>Giggle. "Oh, I just 'invited' you into the little parade~ Those of us who are older get to relive our child years in a way, and those younger get to have a taste of what it's like to be older~!"
-
>Giggle. "Oh, I just 'invited' you into the little parade~ Those of us who are older get to relive our child years in a way, and those younger get to have a taste of what it's like to be older~!"
>Kaguya scowls, "That's dumb."
>Mokou sneers, "Takes one to know one, Your Highness!"
>Keine clamps her hands over Mokou's mouth, giggling, "Sorry..."
-
>Giggle. "When you've been around as long as I have, it gets quite tedious. 'Those who are already dead, cannot die again.' You know~? You know that feeling of tedium all too well don't you~?"
>Smirk slightly. "So I take it upon myself to break the tedium in any way possible~"
-
>Giggle. "When you've been around as long as I have, it gets quite tedious. 'Those who are already dead, cannot die again.' You know~? You know that feeling of tedium all too well don't you~?"
>Smirk slightly. "So I take it upon myself to break the tedium in any way possible~"
>Kaguya groans, "Boredom? Heck, boredom hangs around me so much it could be my own skin."
-
>Giggle. "So, can't you say that this little visit of mine has broken the tedium~?"
-
>Giggle. "So, can't you say that this little visit of mine has broken the tedium~?"
>Kaguya shrugs, "Not sure. Certainly interrupted my afternoon nap, amongst other things."
-
>Smile. "Well, I think you'll find this next 'gift' quite amusing~"
>Giggle mysteriously, then slip Yukari a look that says; 'Now for the good doctor~'
-
>Smile. "Well, I think you'll find this next 'gift' quite amusing~"
>Giggle mysteriously, then slip Yukari a look that says; 'Now for the good doctor~'
>Kaguya stares at you, "Yeah, I always knew you were a creepy one."
>Yukari winks back at you.
>Eirin suddenly shrinks, like the others. She remains fairy tall, but very spindly, like Reisen. Her hair shrinks to a short dark-grey bob-cut, like a darker version of Youmu's hair.
-
>Smile cheerfully. "I'm a ghost after all, it's my job to be creepy~"
>Giggle. "At any rate though, I think you three should get a look at yourselves~"
-
>Smile cheerfully. "I'm a ghost after all, it's my job to be creepy~"
>Giggle. "At any rate though, I think you three should get a look at yourselves~"
>Eirin stares at you, deadpan, "I knew you were up to something fishy."
-
>Giggle. "Quite harmless though~ Seeing as how it's entirely temporary~"
>Beat.
>"I wonder where that other rabbit has gotten to? That little prankster I've heard so much about~?"
-
>Giggle. "Quite harmless though~ Seeing as how it's entirely temporary~"
>Beat.
>"I wonder where that other rabbit has gotten to? That little prankster I've heard so much about~?"
>Reisen blinks, "Tewi? Nobody knowth where thhhe ith."
>Eirin sighs, "Yes, Tewi went off to play, and we don't know where. She'll be back soon."
-
>Giggle. "Well, we can wait~"
>Smile. "At any rate, isn't it rather refreshing, getting to be a child again~?"
-
>Giggle. "Well, we can wait~"
>Smile. "At any rate, isn't it rather refreshing, getting to be a child again~?"
>Reisen pouts. "No, it ith-n't."
>Kaguya shrugs, "Meh."
>Eirin stares at them both, "Am I the only person that has even slightly positive feelings about this?"
-
>Giggle. "You aren't alone dear~ It isn't quite life, but it's the next best thing for me~"
-
>Giggle. "You aren't alone dear~ It isn't quite life, but it's the next best thing for me~"
>Eirin laughs, "I forgot how I looked as a child... I'm surprised I was this tall... and bony."
-
>Giggle. "Most intelligent people usually were like that as children~"
-
>Giggle. "Most intelligent people usually were like that as children~"
>Eirin raises an eyebrow, "Uh, okay..."
-
>Giggle. "When you've seen as many people as I have, you learn these things~"
>"The ones who are smart from the start, like yourself, usually fall into one of two body shapes. Either tall and reedy, or short and chunky~"
-
>Giggle. "When you've seen as many people as I have, you learn these things~"
>"The ones who are smart from the start, like yourself, usually fall into one of two body shapes. Either tall and reedy, or short and chunky~"
>Everyone falls silent, and stares at the short-and-chunky Reimu.
>She murmurs, "What?"
-
>Giggle. "Well, usually~ Though I guess intuition also counts~"
-
>Giggle. "Well, usually~ Though I guess intuition also counts~"
>Eirin looks back to you, "I don't think intelligence has any correlation with body shape.."
-
>Smile cheerfully. "Well, not always, but it's just a pattern I've noticed~"
-
>Smile cheerfully. "Well, not always, but it's just a pattern I've noticed~"
>Eirin looks you up and down, "But, I can see where you're coming from..."
-
>Blink. "You can see Hakugyoukurou from here? Lunarians certainly are full of surprises~"
-
>Blink. "You can see Hakugyoukurou from here? Lunarians certainly are full of surprises~"
>Eirin facepalms, "...You just proved my point... I meant, that because you said that the body shape of an intelligent person is either tall and lanky or short and chubby. You aren't really either of those, so... I won't delve any further."
-
>Giggle cheerfully. "Well, at least you know tactfulness~!"
>Spare a sly look towards Sanae/Sano. "Unlike a certain someone~"
-
>Giggle cheerfully. "Well, at least you know tactfulness~!"
>Spare a sly look towards Sanae/Sano. "Unlike a certain someone~"
>Eirin laughs, "Well, as a doctor, I have to remain unbiased, so being rude would be against my ways~"
-
>Let's laugh too. "Indeed~"
>Fistpalm. "Oh! I just remembered~! We brought Yuuka along too~"
-
>Let's laugh too. "Indeed~"
>Fistpalm. "Oh! I just remembered~! We brought Yuuka along too~"
>Eirin looks directly at Yuuka, "I noticed... I'm surprised she agreed to letting you turn her into a child."
>Yuuka blinks, "How did you know that?"
>Eirin winks, "I didn't. But you just proved that you did, so now I do know."
-
>Smile. "Ever the clever-thinker~"
>Giggle. "But you know, Remilia wasn't exactly that keen on her 'Upgrade'. But then she saw how she looked~"
>Smirk slightly. "And then came dear little Flandre, as willing as ever to have some fun~"
-
>Smile. "Ever the clever-thinker~"
>Giggle. "But you know, Remilia wasn't exactly that keen on her 'Upgrade'. But then she saw how she looked~"
>Smirk slightly. "And then came dear little Flandre, as willing as ever to have some fun~"
>Eirin shrugs, "Adding to the 'charisma', eh? Or just creating charisma out of nothing?"
-
>Shrug. "Who knows~? But at any rate, she was rather pleased~"
>Giggle. "And then, as is often the case, little Flandre outdid her~"
-
>Shrug. "Who knows~? But at any rate, she was rather pleased~"
>Giggle. "And then, as is often the case, little Flandre outdid her~"
>Eirin laughs, "Ah, so the little sister is the one to outdo the elder. Such is life here in Gensokyo, it seems."
-
>Giggle. "Indeed~"
>"It almost makes me wish I had one myself~!"
-
>Giggle. "Indeed~"
>"It almost makes me wish I had one myself~!"
>Eirin blinks, "Well, isn't Yukari a sort of elder sister to you? The pair of you are hanging out an awful lot."
-
>Pause, then nod. "I suppose that's the case but...I think it'd be nice to be an elder sister too!" Flail a little.
-
>Pause, then nod. "I suppose that's the case but...I think it'd be nice to be an elder sister too!" Flail a little.
>Eirin gestures at Youmu, "Just think that Youmu's your younger sister. Problem solved."
-
>Headtilt from side to side with a thoughtful expression.
>"Hmm....but she's almost too loyal for that, you know? Most younger siblings usually have at least a little rebelliousness."
-
>Headtilt from side to side with a thoughtful expression.
>"Hmm....but she's almost too loyal for that, you know? Most younger siblings usually have at least a little rebelliousness."
>Eirin cracks a smirk, "Maybe that'll give her an excuse to be a bit more rebellious?"
-
>Shrug. "Maybe?"
-
>Shrug. "Maybe?"
>Youmu yelps, "I wouldn't be rebellious! You know that..!"
-
>Gesture towards Youmu, while looking at Eirin. "You see?"
-
>Gesture towards Youmu, while looking at Eirin. "You see?"
>Eirin grins, "Point taken."
>Reisen suddenly blinks, "Hey, but if you had a real sithter, that would mean you'd have to th-hare motht of your food, right?"
-
>Giggle, then administer headpats to Reisen. "Yes, but food is always better when it's shared~!"
-
>Giggle, then administer headpats to Reisen. "Yes, but food is always better when it's shared~!"
>Reisen mumbles, her comically-oversized ears flapping around with the headpats, "True."
-
>....Let's wiggle those ears around~! "Those ears are so adorable~"
-
>....Let's wiggle those ears around~! "Those ears are so adorable~"
>You wiggle Reisen's ears around.
>She squirms around, trying to pull her ears out of your grip.
-
>Giggle, then snatch her up in a spinning hug again~!
>"So adorable~~!"
-
>Giggle, then snatch her up in a spinning hug again~!
>"So adorable~~!"
>Reisen yelps, and suddenly fades out of vision.
>Eirin sighs, "Looks like she can still bend waves, even as a child."
-
>Giggle. "Seems so~ But then again, I can probably use my ability as well, and your much-vaunted intellect hasn't been diminished in the slightest~"
-
>Giggle. "Seems so~ But then again, I can probably use my ability as well, and your much-vaunted intellect hasn't been diminished in the slightest~"
>You hear a loud thump on the porch of Eientei, and Reisen fades back into view. She has caught her foot on the stairs up to the porch and has fallen onto her face.
-
>Giggle. "She really is quite precious like this isn't she~?"
>Float over and help her up.
-
>Giggle. "She really is quite precious like this isn't she~?"
>Float over and help her up.
>Eirin giggles, "That's certainly true~"
>You float over to Reisen and help her up.
>She looks at you with a small smile, "Thankth."
-
>Administer headpats with a warm smile. "Not a problem~"
>Giggle. "Though you should remember to always watch where you're going~"

>Administer headpats with a warm smile. "Not a problem~"
>Giggle. "Though you should remember to always watch where you're going~"
>Reisen blinks, "I gueth I wath jutht a bit... fwantic..."
-
>Giggle. "Not too keen on being hugged, are you~?"
-
>Giggle. "Not too keen on being hugged, are you~?"
>Reisen shrugs, "Not my favourite thing, no~..."
>Eirin smirks, "Oh, and who kept on asking for hugs from me after one of Tewi's pranks, hm?"
>Reisen sighs quietly.
-
>Giggle. "That reminds me, she should be hopping along any moment now shouldn't she~?"
-
>Giggle. "That reminds me, she should be hopping along any moment now shouldn't she~?"
>Eirin laughs, and looks over to a thicket of bamboo, "Tewi! Quit hiding!!"
>Tewi whines, "Aww, and I was setting up a trap, too!"
>Eirin clicks, aiming her thumb over her shoulder, "Speaking of traps, I have a new drug I wanted you to try..."
>Tewi runs out from behind the bamboo, "I'm here! I'm here! Wait... the heck happened...? Everyone is... kids and adults and... different..."
-
>Tacklehug time! "Hiiii~!"
-
>Tacklehug time! "Hiiii~!"
>You tacklehug Tewi, and she grins, "Hey, Yuyuko!! Long time no see, right? How's it hanging?"
-
>Giggle. "Oh, just staving off the boredom~"
>Smile, and disengage. "You're actually one of the few who could tell it was me~"
-
>Giggle. "Oh, just staving off the boredom~"
>Smile, and disengage. "You're actually one of the few who could tell it was me~"
>Tewi re-adjusts her bent ear, "Well, the tackle-hug, the voice... and the length of the 'hi'~!"
-
>Giggle. "Well, I am usually known for being rather affectionate of course~"
>Sneak a look at Yukari that says; 'Let's see the little bunny upgraded~'
-
>Giggle. "Well, I am usually known for being rather affectionate of course~"
>Sneak a look at Yukari that says; 'Let's see the little bunny upgraded~'
>Tewi grins, "Absolutely. Besides, I'm observant. I could name everyone here, probably~!"
>Yukari winks at you, and the transformation begins.
>Tewi grows as tall as Eirin once was, and her hair grows longer [and wavier] than Kaguya's. Also, she becomes very well-endowed and with a prominently feminine figure.
-
>Giggle. "You probably could~"
>"Oh, someone pass the dear a mirror would you~?"
-
>Giggle. "You probably could~"
>"Oh, someone pass the dear a mirror would you~?"
>Yukari brandishes a mirror, "Twelve steps ahead of you~"
>She hands the mirror to Tewi.
>Tewi's jaw drops, "Whoa!! I look gorgeous... shame people can't really marry themselves.. heck, I would if I could!"
-
>Sly smile. "Well dear~? How do you like it~?"
>Giggle mischievously. "I daresay you can pull quite a few nice tricks with this, no~?"
-
>Sly smile. "Well dear~? How do you like it~?"
>Giggle mischievously. "I daresay you can pull quite a few nice tricks with this, no~?"
>Tewi grins, "I could do a lot with this... maybe I could just use myself as bait for the traps I set~!"
-
>Sly smirk. "Took the words right out of my mouth."
>"At any rate..." Poke at her chest. "You're rather 'stacked', as they say in the outside world~"
-
>Sly smirk. "Took the words right out of my mouth."
>"At any rate..." Poke at her chest. "You're rather 'stacked', as they say in the outside world~"
>Tewi looks down, "Huh. So I am. More so than Eirin ever was, really..."
>Eirin cocks an eyebrow, "I'm a little disturbed that your first thought is comparing your own bust to mine, but I'll leave it."
-
>Giggle. "You might even match my own, when I'm not like this that is~"
-
>Giggle. "You might even match my own, when I'm not like this that is~"
>Tewi grins, "I ought to measure it now..."
-
>Poke 'em again, with a grin. "Perhaps you should~"
-
>Poke 'em again, with a grin. "Perhaps you should~"
>Tewi looks around and slowly edges into Eientei to find a tape measure.
>She returns with the tape measure around her chest, "I wonder if 28 inches all the way around is big..."
-
>"Hmm....I believe so? I wouldn't know the bust sizes of all of Gensokyo's Elite after all~"
>Grin slyly. "That would be more Yukari's domain I believe~"
-
>"Hmm....I believe so? I wouldn't know the bust sizes of all of Gensokyo's Elite after all~"
>Grin slyly. "That would be more Yukari's domain I believe~"
>Yukari shrugs, "Hey, I'm not like that. I know more than just measurements when it comes to the body~"
-
>Giggle mischievously. "Precisely~"
-
>Giggle mischievously. "Precisely~"
>She yawns, "Like I've always said, don't cross me. On pain of having your dirtiest secrets revealed to the world~"
>Reimu facepalms, "This is why everyone is hostile to you!"
>Yukari looks over her shoulder, "Said the miko that spent three hours one night crying herself to sleep because she ran out of tea."
>Reimu shuts up, scowling.
-
>Blink. "But Yukari dear, Tea is a very serious matter!"
-
>Blink. "But Yukari dear, Tea is a very serious matter!"
>Yukari grins, "Yes, but considering that she actually forgot there was another bag of tea-leaves in her storage, it was quite the funny event."
-
>Giggle. "Shame I couldn't have seen it~"
-
>Giggle. "Shame I couldn't have seen it~"
>Yukari sighs, "I'd replay the events, but Reimu would pay me back for it later, and I'm already tired~"
-
>"We can do that another time then~"
>Beat.
>"Oh, I wonder how those Taoists are doing after our little visit~?"
-
>"We can do that another time then~"
>Beat.
>"Oh, I wonder how those Taoists are doing after our little visit~?"
>Yukari shrugs, "Do you want to see~?"
-
>Grin slyly. "But of course~!"
-
>Grin slyly. "But of course~!"
>Yukari opens a large gap.
>Through it, Miko and the others are having a regular conversation. The others seem awkwardly quiet. It's evident that Miko's new male form had only recently worn off.
-
>Fingersnap. "Drat! We were too late~!"
-
>Fingersnap. "Drat! We were too late~!"
>Yukari sighs, "Indeed we were..."
>Seiga sighs, "Hey, Miko, do you think that tengu will publish those photos?"
>Miko frowns, "Hope not. I thought it'd have been bad enough having that Shameimaru girl publish them. Nope. We have that little... ugh... name?"
>Futo grins, "Hatate Himekaidou."
>Miko nods, "Yeah, her. She was the one that took the pictures, right?"
-
>Blink. "I thought we already had Hatate with us? Did she slip away when we weren't looking? If she did, she's a clever girl."
>Giggle slyly. "But I do wonder what they mean by photos~?"
-
>Blink. "I thought we already had Hatate with us? Did she slip away when we weren't looking? If she did, she's a clever girl."
>Giggle slyly. "But I do wonder what they mean by photos~?"
>Yukari blinks, "Maybe she used that spirit photography ability of hers or whatever. But it wouldn't explain why they know about it~"
>Aya suddenly fistpalms, "Hatate's a quiet one. You never know where she goes. She could have taken photographs of all of Gensokyo in this time and we wouldn't know."
-
>"But even being a tengu and all, surely she couldn't have gotten too far due to being among those who returned to being children."
>Hmm...this is quite an interesting mystery!
-
>"But even being a tengu and all, surely she couldn't have gotten too far due to being among those who returned to being children."
>Hmm...this is quite an interesting mystery!
>Aya snickers, "She's a bitch. Maybe she used blackmail in order to get some money, using her spirit photography. You know, took the incriminating pictures and sent a copy to the Taoists and said 'give me so-and-so amount of money and I won't publish the pictures'."
-
>Giggle in a surprisingly ominous way. "Perhaps she did dear~ Yukari, would you open a viewing gap on to Hatate please?"
-
>Giggle in a surprisingly ominous way. "Perhaps she did dear~ Yukari, would you open a viewing gap on to Hatate please?"
>Yukari opens a viewing gap.
>It shows Hatate about 20ft away, flicking through some rather crazy-looking pictures of the Taoists.
-
>"Oh? Yukari dear, zoom in on those photos would you~?"
-
>"Oh? Yukari dear, zoom in on those photos would you~?"
>Yukari zooms in on the pictures.
>One is of Miko pushing Futo over with an angered expression.
>Another is of Seiga trying to wrestle Miko into submission. Evidently the latter is extremely angered.
>One of the more light-hearted pictures is of Yoshika lying on the floor next to a beaten Seiga, with a massive grin on her face.
>Yet another violent one consists of Miko clobbering the others with his/her little golden rod.
-
>Giggle, then tilt our head to one side with an amused expression while still looking at the pictures. "Seems they couldn't keep themselves from trying to jump our little friend, no~?"
-
>Giggle, then tilt our head to one side with an amused expression while still looking at the pictures. "Seems they couldn't keep themselves from trying to jump our little friend, no~?"
>Yukari laughs, "Seems not."
>Hatate flips over to the final picture. And one that is quite... slanderous.
>Obviously they must have all got a bit... tipsy...
>It's a picture of Soga and Futo both kissing each of Miko's cheeks, with Seiga wrapping herself around Miko's waist and kissing his/her hand.
>Yoshika is in the background, seeming to be hopping around with her trademark grin.
-
>Headtilt more than the last time. "Oh my~"
-
>Headtilt more than the last time. "Oh my~"
>Yukari grins, "It seems Hatate certainly has something to publish..."
>Aya nearly leaps through the gap, "That dirty little crow! I could have taken those pictures and got them published in Gensokyo's top paper! But no! She has to take the glory!"
-
>Smirk evilly, be sure to really ratchet up the hamminess! "I believe I know how to handle this~"
>Look towards Yukari with our usual look we get when we're really in a pranking mood. "Yukari, if you would~?"
-
>Smirk evilly, be sure to really ratchet up the hamminess! "I believe I know how to handle this~"
>Look towards Yukari with our usual look we get when we're really in a pranking mood. "Yukari, if you would~?"
>Yukari blinks, modifying the viewing gap, "Going to scare the little critter are you~? Don't let me stop you~!"
-
>Alright, we can adjust ourself to look sufficiently frightening yes? Since we're a ghost and all.
-
>Alright, we can adjust ourself to look sufficiently frightening yes? Since we're a ghost and all.
>You can. Heck, you could even dislocate your bones with ease if you really wanted to.
-
>Alright then. There was one movie that Yukari once mentioned that would be perfect for the job!
>"Yukari dear, could you make the gap look like a television? I remember a movie we once watched that would work perfectly for this~"
-
>Alright then. There was one movie that Yukari once mentioned that would be perfect for the job!
>"Yukari dear, could you make the gap look like a television? I remember a movie we once watched that would work perfectly for this~"
>Yukari giggles, and modifies the gap to replicate a television, "All done~"
-
>Giggle in a slightly ominous way while setting ourselves to look like that one girl, what was her name again, Samara or something?
>"Yukari dear, would you make it produce some of that static those televisions sometimes make too?"
>Once she sets the static going, start filling the area around Hatate with a thick, unnatural fog filled with those little wispy fires we have around sometimes.
-
>Giggle in a slightly ominous way while setting ourselves to look like that one girl, what was her name again, Samara or something?
>You make yourself look like that creepy girl you saw in that film that Yukari brought over. Genuinely downright creepy.
>"Yukari dear, would you make it produce some of that static those televisions sometimes make too?"
>Once she sets the static going, start filling the area around Hatate with a thick, unnatural fog filled with those little wispy fires we have around sometimes.
>Yukari nods, opening a gap and bringing out a small machine. She presses a button on it and you hear a crazy amount of scary-sounding static.
>Then, you fill the surrounding area around Hatate with a thick "fog".
>She looks up, shivering in slight fright, "Eh? I never knew there was fog around here... but this doesn't look much like fog..."
-
>Crawl out of the gap in a slow and jerky manner while making a downright creepy hissing and wheezing noise.
-
>Crawl out of the gap in a slow and jerky manner while making a downright creepy hissing and wheezing noise.
>You crawl out of the gap, just as Hatate notices you.
>The static gives a satisfyingly creepy effect, whilst you jerk around whilst crawling.
>Hatate screams loudly and begins to try and climb up the bamboo stalk she was sitting against. It's, unfortunately, very hard to grip on, and she is stuck several feet above the ground. All she can do is use the crooks of her elbows to keep her from sliding down.
-
>Skitter on over to the bamboo, just like in that movie.
>"Hihihihihihihihihi.....N-O...E-S-C-A-P-E...." Ah, do be sure to alter our voice so she can't tell it's us!
(And yes, that's a reference to FF6.)
-
>Skitter on over to the bamboo, just like in that movie.
>"Hihihihihihihihihi.....N-O...E-S-C-A-P-E...." Ah, do be sure to alter our voice so she can't tell it's us!
>You scurry over to the bamboo, and Hatate attempts to climb further up.
>As soon as you speak, she begins to shriek loudly, and tries to kick you to get you away from her. Unfortunately, she can barely see in the fog, and does more damage to herself.
>Hatate loses balance and falls about a foot in front of you.
-
>And now....Tacklehug! "Hihihihihihihihiihihi....Got you."
-
>And now....Tacklehug! "Hihihihihihihihiihihi....Got you."
>Hatate shrieks, still in panic-mode.
>"If I die, tell Aya I love her!"
-
>Change back to normal, including our voice, and disperse the fog and wisps. "Will do dear~"
-
>Change back to normal, including our voice, and disperse the fog and wisps. "Will do dear~"
>Hatate notices it's you, and immediately freezes.
>Then, she gets on her feet and begins shouting at you, "Why do something like that?! Are you some kind of psycho?! You nearly gave me a freaking heart attack!!"
-
>Giggle. "I was bored, and you seemed so content with yourself that I couldn't help but want to scare you~ It's a ghost thing dearie~"
-
>Giggle. "I was bored, and you seemed so content with yourself that I couldn't help but want to scare you~ It's a ghost thing dearie~"
>Hatate whimpers, "Whatever it was... it was mean..."
>She quickly pulls the pictures out of her pocket and counts them, "They're all there, at least. Money for me~..."
-
>Look at them. "Oh my, are those pictures of the taoists from earlier~? I was wondering what kind of antics they got up to after we left them~!"
-
>Look at them. "Oh my, are those pictures of the taoists from earlier~? I was wondering what kind of antics they got up to after we left them~!"
>Hatate nods, "Yeah, funny, aren't they?"
>She flips to the more risqu? one, "Especially this one~!"
-
>Nod with a grin. "Indeed~!"
>Smirk slyly. "I should keep more up to date on things like that~"
-
>Nod with a grin. "Indeed~!"
>Smirk slyly. "I should keep more up to date on things like that~"
>Hatate grins, "I only managed to take these photographs through Soga no Tojiko using spirit photography. Notice how she's not in any of the photos?"
-
>Giggle. "Well, that explains how you got them~"
>Frown slightly. "Though, she's a spirit as well, so I feel a bit of regret at her inability to 'get in on the action', as it were."
-
>Giggle. "Well, that explains how you got them~"
>Frown slightly. "Though, she's a spirit as well, so I feel a bit of regret at her inability to 'get in on the action', as it were."
>Hatate grins, "Lucky for her. When they get published, she won't be scandalised. I may ask Aya to publish them, too, so everyone can see!"
-
>Giggle. "Oh yes, about what you said earlier....~"
>Smirk slyly. "I'll be sure to tell Aya. Cheers~!"
>Let's boost back into the gap!
-
>Giggle. "Oh yes, about what you said earlier....~"
>Smirk slyly. "I'll be sure to tell Aya. Cheers~!"
>Let's boost back into the gap!
>You boost back into the gap, with Hatate chasing you, "W-wait, no!"
>The gap closes the second you pass through it.
>Aya stares at you, "So, how'd it go?"
-
>Giggle, with a sly grin. "She said to tell you she loves you, of course~"
-
>Giggle, with a sly grin. "She said to tell you she loves you, of course~"
>Aya blushes, "W-w-..."
>Then she just brushes it off with a sigh, "Probably just trying to flatter me so I'll stand back and let her paper become #1 in Gensokyo. Like hell."
-
>Giggle. "She also may, or may not have soiled herself, judging from how much she was screaming~"
-
>Giggle. "She also may, or may not have soiled herself, judging from how much she was screaming~"
>Aya cringes, "Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross! Did I really need to know that? It's not like I need a Hatate Underwear Weather Check... I am not diving down there any time soon."
-
>Giggle. "Just speculation on my part though~"
>Look to Yukari. "Yukari dear, let's see how Hatate's faring now~ I half expect she's in a right tizzy after my hasty departure~"
-
>Giggle. "Just speculation on my part though~"
>Look to Yukari. "Yukari dear, let's see how Hatate's faring now~ I half expect she's in a right tizzy after my hasty departure~"
>Yukari grins and opens a viewing gap.
>You can see Hatate sat on a thicket of crushed bamboo stalks, looking through her photographs and... looking quite tense.
-
>Giggle. "Yukari dear, shall we scare her again~?"
-
>Giggle. "Yukari dear, shall we scare her again~?"
>Yukari laughs, "I think we should. But maybe with less creepiness on our part and more 'You WILL die'... I'm thinking mad-axe murderer."
-
>Fistpalm. "Dear, I remembered a movie from the outside world that would work perfectly~!"
>"Hmm...But I'll need a long coat with brown fur trim, a hook, and I think Wriggle can help provide the bees."
-
>Fistpalm. "Dear, I remembered a movie from the outside world that would work perfectly~!"
>"Hmm...But I'll need a long coat with brown fur trim, a hook, and I think Wriggle can help provide the bees."
>Yukari grins and opens a gap. She reaches into it, digging around for a while.
>She then pulls out an almost identical coat to the one you described, and a very sharp-looking hook.
>Wriggle blinks, and summons an entire horde of angry-sounding bees with a smile, "Here we go~! Bees, at your service."
-
>Giggle. "Great~! Now, calm them down so they won't sting me when I put the coat on over them, okay?"
>"See, I remember that in that movie, the killer was a ghost much like myself, but he used bees to retain a physical form~! And when Yukari mentioned the whole 'axe murderer' part, I remembered that movie~!"
(I assume you've guessed what movie I'm referencing, yes? Albeit incorrectly, but this is Yuyuko doing the referencing technically, so she's bound to have forgotten a few details.)
-
*Does not know what movie you're thinking of* Probably because I'm not really into that kind of movie.
-
I'm not much of a horror flick buff myself(That's mom's thing.), but I was referencing Candyman.
-
Never heard of it.
-
>Giggle. "Great~! Now, calm them down so they won't sting me when I put the coat on over them, okay?"
>Wriggle grins, wafting a hand at the bees. They seem to stop buzzing as loudly as they were, and instead hover over to you in a seemingly friendly manner.
>"See, I remember that in that movie, the killer was a ghost much like myself, but he used bees to retain a physical form~! And when Yukari mentioned the whole 'axe murderer' part, I remembered that movie~!"
>Yukari grins widely, "I remember that! The name escapes me, but I definitely know what you're thinking about!"
-
>Giggle, and look closer at the bees. "You're friendly little guys, aren't you~?"
>Look over to wriggle slyly. "Now, when I give the signal, command some of the bees to fly out of the bottom of the coat to menace Hatate, but they aren't to sting her. Merely to frighten her. Surely they can undstand that, yes?"
>Equip Bees, Coat, and then equip the hook to right hand. Then pass our hat off to Yukari, and alter ourself so that we're normal-seeming, but to the point she wouldn't recognize us easily. Voice too, make it different from ours, but have it keep a rich, almost honey-like tone, with faint elements of the buzzing of bees. "Yukari dear, do be sure to record this~"
-
>Giggle, and look closer at the bees. "You're friendly little guys, aren't you~?"
>Look over to Wriggle slyly. "Now, when I give the signal, command some of the bees to fly out of the bottom of the coat to menace Hatate, but they aren't to sting her. Merely to frighten her. Surely they can undstand that, yes?"
>Wriggle grins, "Don't worry, those little guys will get it done. If you haven't noticed, they're bigger than most bees you'll see around. Just saying~"
>Equip Bees, Coat, and then equip the hook to right hand. Then pass our hat off to Yukari, and alter ourself so that we're normal-seeming, but to the point she wouldn't recognize us easily. Voice too, make it different from ours, but have it keep a rich, almost honey-like tone, with faint elements of the buzzing of bees. "Yukari dear, do be sure to record this~"
>You equip the coat and bees, with the hook to the right hand.
>Then, you alter yourself. You feel quite a bit different... since you're a ghost, you can alter yourself indefinitely, so of course Hatate won't recognise you.
>Yukari already has a video camera in her hand, "Again, several steps ahead of you~!"
-
>Alright, let's do this! "Yukari dear, shift the gap so I'll walk in out of her sight."
>Once she does that, let's walk though it!
-
>Alright, let's do this! "Yukari dear, shift the gap so I'll walk in out of her sight."
>Once she does that, let's walk though it!
>Yukari twirls the viewing gap, opening up out of the sight of Hatate.
>She gestures towards it, and you walk through.
-
>Walk a littler closer, in a slow way. "Hatate...Hatate...Won't you be my next victim~?"
>Lift the coat in a subtle manner while slipping Wriggle the signal to send out the bees.
-
>Walk a littler closer, in a slow way. "Hatate...Hatate...Won't you be my next victim~?"
>Lift the coat in a subtle manner while slipping Wriggle the signal to send out the bees.
>Hatate freezes.
>Slowly, she looks over her shoulder with a pale face.
>"T-two in... o-one... day?"
>Wriggle commands the bees to slip out from under the coat, and they buzz around quite loudly for effect.
-
>Smile ominously, while holding the hook up a bit. "Won't you be the next one~?"
-
>Smile ominously, while holding the hook up a bit. "Won't you be the next one~?"
>She stares at you, "N-next one?"
>Her only method of... well, it's neither attack nor defense... her only strategy is to hold up her arms as if she's going to do martial arts on you.
-
>Ratchet up the ominousness of the smile. "The next victim. You will be my next one, Hatate~"
-
>Ratchet up the ominousness of the smile. "The next victim. You will be my next one, Hatate~"
>Hatate suddenly frowns, "Oh, really? (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F5blIU0mkJA/S03lC2GfYpI/AAAAAAAAAro/bGGpsx1rRZ8/S1600-R/o_rly.jpg)"
>She edges away from you, looking like she's about to throw her shoe at you.
-
>Time to fade into mist, taking the coat and bees with us. Being a ghost is handy~!
>Then, reappear right behind her, holding the point of the hook dangerously close to the back of her neck.
-
>Time to fade into mist, taking the coat and bees with us. Being a ghost is handy~!
>Then, reappear right behind her, holding the point of the hook dangerously close to the back of her neck.
>You fade into the mist, and Hatate frowns, "Coward!"
>You reappear behind her, holding the hook's point close to her neck.
>Once Hatate realises, she screams and dashes to the nearest bamboo stalk, clinging to it for dear life.
-
>Walk over to the bamboo slowly, and methodically. Fading out again as we go.
>Then, reappear in the air in her blind spot. "I told you, you will be my next victim~"
-
>Walk over to the bamboo slowly, and methodically. Fading out again as we go.
>Then, reappear in the air in her blind spot. "I told you, you will be my next victim~"
>Hatate clings harder to the bamboo stalk, almost like she is expecting it to rescue her.
>When you reappear behind her, she screams loudly, "I don't want to die!!"
-
>Raise the hook, and swing, but fade out at the last second, and slip back through the gap.
>"Well, that was quite amusing~! Though I have more in store for her, it will have to wait until she's fast asleep, and dreaming deeply."
>Shift back to our usual self, and remove the coat, hook, and signal Wriggle to take the bees back.
-
>Raise the hook, and swing, but fade out at the last second, and slip back through the gap.
>You swing the hook at Hatate, but as soon as you lift it she immediately flies up the bamboo, snagging her shirt on the hook and ripping it (her shirt) half-open as she goes.
>You slip back through the gap, where everyone is looking at Hatate and giggling.
>"Well, that was quite amusing~! Though I have more in store for her, it will have to wait until she's fast asleep, and dreaming deeply."
>Shift back to our usual self, and remove the coat, hook, and signal Wriggle to take the bees back.
>Yukari giggles, "Did you see that last bit? Accidental wardrobe malfunction, eh?"
>You return to your regular self, taking off the coat.
>Wriggle takes back her bees, and they fly off.
-
>Giggle. "Who said anything about it being an accident dear~? You forget, you and I both account for such seemingly-random occurrences~"
-
>Giggle. "Who said anything about it being an accident dear~? You forget, you and I both account for such seemingly-random occurrences~"
>Yukari tilts her head, "Eh, true. I'd still like to see how she'd fare if we had a horde of 'zombies' chase her..."
-
>Smirk. "Why not~?"
>Look to the others. "You girls up for some fun~?"
-
>Smirk. "Why not~?"
>Look to the others. "You girls up for some fun~?"
>Everyone, tantalised by the previous pranks, nods and cheers in agreement.
-
>Look to Yukari with a mischievous smile. "Well, how shall we do this~?"
-
>Do we know about Orin's 'zombie' fairies?
-
>Look to Yukari with a mischievous smile. "Well, how shall we do this~?"
>Yukari thinks for a while.
>"I have some zombie costumes that we can use, but I don't think there'll be enough."
>Do we know about Orin's 'zombie' fairies?
>You have heard a fair amount about them and their adorable little masquerade.
-
>Look to Orin. "I think those Zombie Fairies you have might be just the ticket~! Adorable little darlings that they are~"
-
>Look to Orin. "I think those Zombie Fairies you have might be just the ticket~! Adorable little darlings that they are~"
>Orin grins widely, "Cool!"
>She summons quite a few of her Zombie Fairies, and they all take a semi-circular formation.
-
>Headtilt with a thoughtful expression. "Hmm...I think we'll need more than just a few dear."
-
>Headtilt with a thoughtful expression. "Hmm...I think we'll need more than just a few dear."
>Orin smirks, summoning around four times as many as the original number.
-
>"Perfect!"
>"Yukari, those costumes, please."
-
>"Perfect!"
>"Yukari, those costumes, please."
>Yukari pulls out four large suitcases (or are they lying down wardrobes?) full of zombie costumes... with little effort.
-
>"My, that certainly is a lot~"
>Let's take a look at one of the costumes!
-
>"My, that certainly is a lot~"
>Let's take a look at one of the costumes!
>You take a look at one of the costumes.
>The one you have picked up, in particular, is a torn white dress covered in black and congealed "blood". There are also some stick-on patches that look similar to rotting bite wounds. It also has some sort of greenish-yellow pus on it in places, which gives it an infected look.
-
>"Oooh~! Who wants to wear this one~?"
>Let's see another!
-
>"Oooh~! Who wants to wear this one~?"
>Let's see another!
>Nobody speaks up, so Kaguya decides to take the stage.
>"I'll do it~!"
>You pick out another outfit. Ragged dark brown combats with several blood-stained holes and 'guts' attached to the belt. The shirt is light blue that is ripped to expose a false ribcage with a rotting heart. Perfectly gruesome.
-
>Toss it to Kaguya then!
>Hold up the one we picked up. "And this one?"
-
>Toss it to Kaguya then!
>Hold up the one we picked up. "And this one?"
>You toss the outfit to Kaguya, and she quickly runs inside to put it on.
>Remilia and Flandre lock eyes, and both raise their hands at the same time.
-
>"Oh dear."
>Let's try and find another one like it!
-
>"Oh dear."
>Let's try and find another one like it!
>You look around, and find one that is... actually identical.
>Yukari looks particularly giggly.
-
>Toss them to Remi and Flan then!
>"Alright everyone~! Look around in here and pick one you want to use~!"
>Let's find one for ourselves!
-
>Toss them to Remi and Flan then!
>"Alright everyone~! Look around in here and pick one you want to use~!"
>Let's find one for ourselves!
>You toss those outfits to Remilia and Flandre, and they hurry off to change, too.
>Kaguya returns, and looks suitably zombified.
>Everyone begins lining up to look for a zombie outfit.
>You find one that is absolutely perfect: a wispy but thick blouse that is torn and bloodied with false intestines hanging from the stomach, and a long formal skirt that is also torn and bloodied. It comes with a few bite-mark patches that you can stick onto your skin, too.
-
>Let's go change into ours too then!
-
>Let's go change into ours too then!
>You go off to change into your outfit, just as Remilia and Flandre walk past in their cool-looking zombie outfits.
>It's a perfect fit for you, too! You give off a zombified-widow vibe.
(Think of the Witches from Left4Dead)
-
>Head back out to the others!
>"So, how are we going to do this, Yukari? Are we just going to pile in all at once?"
-
>Head back out to the others!
>"So, how are we going to do this, Yukari? Are we just going to pile in all at once?"
>You head outside again. Together, the whole group looks like a perfect zombie horde.
>Grinning, Yukari folds her arms. She is in a ragged old dress with 'bone' showing on the side of her face and arms.
>"I think we send in a few to chase her, and when she thinks she's escaped we send in another mini horde, and keep that up until she's outran everyone and then we all chase her as a massive group!"
-
>Grin. "That sounds like the perfect plan! But perhaps some of us could be in her path? Isn't it usually like that in those old films?"
-
>Grin. "That sounds like the perfect plan! But perhaps some of us could be in her path? Isn't it usually like that in those old films?"
>Giggling, Yukari claps, "Perfect! You're full of good ideas today!"
-
>Giggle slyly. "Okay everyone! Some of you will be chasing her, but a few others will be in her path. It's the jobs of the chasers to herd her towards the lurkers, okay?"
>Look to Yukari with a mischievous grin. "I'll be one of the Lurkers, okay~?"
-
>Giggle slyly. "Okay everyone! Some of you will be chasing her, but a few others will be in her path. It's the jobs of the chasers to herd her towards the lurkers, okay?"
>Look to Yukari with a mischievous grin. "I'll be one of the Lurkers, okay~?"
>Everyone nods and giggles excitedly.
>It seems everyone is quite excited for this prank.
>Yukari opens a wide gap far away from Hatate, "Okay, Lurkers can go through here! Chasers can go through the other one! If she tries to fight back, don't do anything to let her think it is really you~"
>She opens another gap for the Chasers.
-
>Lets head on through, and meander off to find a nice spot to park ourselves at.
-
>Lets head on through, and meander off to find a nice spot to park ourselves at.
>You head through the gap with a few other "Lurkers". You find a nice natural corner in the bamboo: hidden from immediate view, but also in an unavoidable place due to the thick bamboo ahead.
-
>Let's just sit down, but in a way that Hatate'd only be able to see our back, and none of the zombie-ish details.
-
>Let's just sit down, but in a way that Hatate'd only be able to see our back, and none of the zombie-ish details.
>You sit down at a certain angle so Hatate will only be able to see your back.
>Yukari peeks through a gap, "You ready for the Chasers to go in? I can keep up a viewing gap, as I'll be at the back of the chasing horde~"
-
>Nod. "Yep~! Just make sure she gets herded this way~"
-
>Nod. "Yep~! Just make sure she gets herded this way~"
>Yukari nods, "Will do!"
>She leans out of the gap, "Guys, herd Hatate along the natural curve! Let's go!"
>She closes the gap.
>Quite a way away, you hear some shuffling and the sounds of the others acting like zombies.
>Yukari then opens a viewing gap, "Right, here we go."
>The gap angles at the rest of the chasers, that slowly edge towards Hatate.
>Hatate screams, "Yaaah!! Zombies!!"
>She immediately runs away down the intended path, "You will never take my flesh, zombie scum!!"
>You hear Yukari quietly giggle.
>The Chasers speed up, ambling after Hatate at the right pace to keep her running.
-
>Giggle. "This will be great~! But tell them to ease off once she gets close to my location, I have a plan~!"
-
>Giggle. "This will be great~! But tell them to ease off once she gets close to my location, I have a plan~!"
>Yukari whispers, "Gotcha'!"
>Soon, the horde and Hatate draw closer to your location. Yukari quickly passes a message down the Chasers, and soon they slow up.
>Hatate sighs in relief, and slows down her own running. She isn't even out of breath.
-
>"Watch this, but egg her towards my location a bit more~"
>Start to fake crying in an audible manner, but in a way that sounds genuine.
-
>"Watch this, but egg her towards my location a bit more~"
>Start to fake crying in an audible manner, but in a way that sounds genuine.
>Yukari grins, and passes on a message to the Chasers to keep going.
>Through the gap, you see Hatate yelp. She's obviously heard the crying.
>"Crap, there's a kid in here! Hang on, kiddo!!"
>She hurries on, around the corner to where you are.
-
>Let's wait until she gets close, but keep the crying up.
-
>Let's wait until she gets close, but keep the crying up.
>Hatate turns the corner and continues to run to where you are.
(I can't help thinking of the Witch from the Left4Dead series.)
-
(That's because this IS a little shoutout to it. :D We've already done Ring/Grudge, and Candyman, so what's one more?)
>Wait until she gets close, then snap around and let out a piercing shriek and dash after her!
-
>Wait until she gets close, then snap around and let out a piercing shriek and dash after her!
>Hatate edges closer tentatively.
>When she gets about three or so metres away, you shriek loudly and begin to chase her.
>The other Lurkers also join in.
>Screaming, Hatate hightails it the other way. Just before she runs into the Chasers, she trips over a rock on the floor and falls flat on her face.
-
>Pounce on her! But keep the shrieking up, of course.
-
>Pounce on her! But keep the shrieking up, of course.
>You pounce on Hatate, and she turns around and holds her arms up to catch you. She holds you up, away from her face and neck.
-
>Let's flail around!
-
>Let's flail around!
>You flail around.
>Underneath you, Hatate shrieks, "Get off, ya' crazy zombie!! Go find someone with more muscle!! Go on! Shoo! Shoo! Tengu don't taste good!"
>The other 'zombies' slowly edge closer.
-
>Keep flailing!
-
>Keep flailing!
>You carry on flailing.
>You feel Hatate's arms give slightly, and she rolls out from underneath you.
>She looks around for some sort of living being to use as bait.
>When she sees none, she picks up a broken bamboo stalk and begins to swing it at any close zombies, "Back off, back off!"
-
>Let's charge in and tackle her again! Even we can dodge her unpracticed swings, they're nothing like Youmu's~!
-
>Let's charge in and tackle her again! Even we can dodge her unpracticed swings, they're nothing like Youmu's~!
>You quickly dodge her swings, and catch her when she is off balance.
>She tries to fend you off, but soon she just curls into a ball underneath you, "Don't eat me!!"
-
>Gently bite on her head in a comical way. "Brrns?"
-
>Gently bite on her head in a comical way. "Brrns?"
>You bite on her head gently, and she freaks out, "What did I just say?! Huh?! You zombies are all the same! So rude!"
>You hear some stifled giggles in the other crowd of zombies. Hatate, however, doesn't notice.
-
>Quit with the headnomming, and give her an overpowering hug.
-
>Quit with the headnomming, and give her an overpowering hug.
>You give her a massive hug.
>Hatate freezes for a while, "Wait... what the heck?! A zombie is giving me a hug?"
>She bursts out laughing, "This is so hilarious!"
-
>Go back to the headnomming, a wee bit harder this time. "Brrrns?"
-
>Go back to the headnomming, a wee bit harder this time. "Brrrns?"
>Hatate yelps at the head-nom, "What?! All this 'brrns' stuff, I don't speak zombie! And stop trying to eat my head!"
>She suddenly frowns, "Wait... all these bad events... in one day?"
>She yelps, "Damn it, karma!"
-
>"Brrns?"
>Well, let's try a shoulder then! Ah, gently now.
(She DID say to stop trying to eat her head after all, so it's perfectly within Yuyu's Logic to take her literally.)
-
>"Brrns?"
>Well, let's try a shoulder then! Ah, gently now.
>You gently bite Hatate's shoulder.
>She stares at you with a mixture of confusion and fear, "This is... awkward."
-
>Disengage, back off, and twirl once or twice for good measure.
-
>Disengage, back off, and twirl once or twice for good measure.
>You back off and twirl around.
>Hatate raises an eyebrow, "Is this some kind of a set-up? Are you all part of some elaborate mission to assassinate me?"
-
>Look to the others, then back to Hatate, then back to the others, and giggle a bit.
-
>Look to the others, then back to Hatate, then back to the others, and giggle a bit.
>Hatate watches your eyes, frowning, "Wait... it's a prank!!"
-
>Giggle. "Bingo~"
>"But I must say, this was quite an elaborate one~"
-
>Giggle. "Bingo~"
>"But I must say, this was quite an elaborate one~"
>Hatate gets to her feet, "What the hell, I mean, seriously!! There's only so much trauma a Tengu can handle in one day!"
-
>Giggle. "You were just too cute to pass on having a little fun with~"
-
>Giggle. "You were just too cute to pass on having a little fun with~"
>She facepalms, "By pretending to be zombies? I don't class that as fun!"
-
>Giggle. "It's called Schadenfreude dear~"
-
>Giggle. "It's called Schadenfreude dear~"
>She blinks, "It's called what now?"
-
>Giggle. "Schadenfreude, a delightful little word that essentially means 'Happiness at the Misfortune of Others'~"
>Smile slyly. "Besides, you were rather cute when you were scared out of your wits~"
-
>Giggle. "Schadenfreude, a delightful little word that essentially means 'Happiness at the Misfortune of Others'~"
>Smile slyly. "Besides, you were rather cute when you were scared out of your wits~"
>Hatate looks at you apprehensively, "I always knew you were one to look out for... maybe I should, erm, go... ahaha..."
-
>Tacklehug time!
>Giggle. "Awwww, you'll miss the fun~!"
-
>Tacklehug time!
>Giggle. "Awwww, you'll miss the fun~!"
>You tacklehug her just as she gets up, knocking her over.
>"There's more!? ...Fine, I'll stick around if you get off.."
-
>Squeeze a little tighter, then disengage with a giggle. "That's what I like about people like you, they're so adorable when they're startled~♥"
-
>Squeeze a little tighter, then disengage with a giggle. "That's what I like about people like you, they're so adorable when they're startled~♥"
>Hatate sighs loudly, "Yeah... okay..."
>She dusts herself off, "Why zombies, though?"
-
>Giggle. "Why not~?"
>Look to Yukari with a grin. "You did record her freaked-out responses, yes~? Do play them back please~"
-
>Giggle. "Why not~?"
>Look to Yukari with a grin. "You did record her freaked-out responses, yes~? Do play them back please~"
>Yukari pulls out a tape recorder and presses play.
>You hear all of Hatate's screaming, yelling and panting.
>Hatate's face turns pale. She looks mortified, "I sound so high-pitched!"
-
>Giggle. "Let's show her what she looked like too~!"
-
>Giggle. "Let's show her what she looked like too~!"
>Yukari pulls out a television, switching it on to show a Yukari's-eye-view of Hatate running.
>Hatate yelps, "I run like that?!"
-
>Giggle. "Now show her how her face looked when she was panicking~!"
-
>Giggle. "Now show her how her face looked when she was panicking~!"
>Yukari quickly presses a button, and it angles on Hatate's pale and panicked face.
>Hatate hangs her head [alliteration~!] and sighs, "I look so stupid..."
-
>Tacklehug! "But it was also adorable~!"
>Beat.
>"But then again, I am a ghost~!"
-
>Tacklehug! "But it was also adorable~!"
>Beat.
>"But then again, I am a ghost~!"
>You tacklehug her, and she falls over again.
>"Are all ghosts this clingy?!" she screeches quietly, prising you off.
-
>Giggle. "No, you're just too adorable to not hug~"
>Grin slyly. "Everyone on Hatate~~!!" Tacklehug again!
-
>Giggle. "No, you're just too adorable to not hug~"
>Grin slyly. "Everyone on Hatate~~!!" Tacklehug again!
>Hatate yelps and tries to escape, just as you and everyone else tacklehugs her.
>You all fall to the ground in a massive giggling heap.
-
>Let's have a laugh! "Isn't this fun everyone~?"
-
>Let's have a laugh! "Isn't this fun everyone~?"
>Everyone laughs loudly, apart from Hatate.
>Yukari pats Hatate on the head, "Bless her."
>Hatate flaps her hands at Yukari, "Don't patronise me!"
-
>Giggle. "Okay, everyone off. I think she's had enough for one day~"
>Let's try to pile off when we get the chance.
-
>Giggle. "Okay, everyone off. I think she's had enough for one day~"
>Let's try to pile off when we get the chance.
>Everyone piles off of Hatate. You also get up when the first 'layer' of people has gone.
-
>"So, what next~?"
-
>"So, what next~?"
>Yukari shrugs, "Well, if nobody has any business left here, there are two magicians that have so far eluded us..."
-
>Giggle. "Ah yes, those two~!"
>''...It might not be wise to startle the witch though~"
-
>Giggle. "Ah yes, those two~!"
>''...It might not be wise to startle the witch though~"
>Everyone stares at you, unaware of the pun.
>Everyone except Yukari, who bursts out laughing.
>"Startle... the... ahahaha!!" she laughs, and raises her hand for a hi-five.
-
>Let's give her a hi-five!
>Giggle. "I know, right?"
-
>Let's give her a hi-five!
>Giggle. "I know, right?"
>You hi-five Yukari.
>She recovers from her laughing.
>"But, yeah, Marisa even looks like one of those. But she doesn't charge at you when she's ever pissed. She just charges lasers at you."
-
>Giggle. "But here in Gensokyo, that's the same thing~!"
-
>Giggle. "But here in Gensokyo, that's the same thing~!"
>Yukari thinks for a while.
>"You know, you're right... hey, what do you think would actually happen if there were real zombies in Gensokyo? Who would be the survivors? That's one to think about, eh?"
-
>"Hmmm....Well, it would probably end up like that one comic book series, the one with all the superheroes. The one that was in english?"
(Referring to the World War Zombie batch of marvel/dc comics.)
-
>"Hmmm....Well, it would probably end up like that one comic book series, the one with all the superheroes. The one that was in english?"
>Yukari grins.
>"That seems like a pretty good prediction. My vote goes for Youmu. Youmu's swords would hack down those zombies in seconds. Boom. Youmu would totally wreck those zombies."
-
>Giggle. "Indeed~! And to add to that, she's already half-dead~"
-
>Giggle. "Indeed~! And to add to that, she's already half-dead~"
>Yukari claps her hands, grinning.
>"Right, that's settled it. Zombie-slaughtering could almost be a sport in Gensokyo, if it happened. Not that I'm planning to bring anything here that'd do that... yet."
-
>"Though I don't think it would be very good for gensokyo at large dear."
-
>"Though I don't think it would be very good for Gensokyo at large dear."
>Yukari snickers.
>"Of course not. People like Hatate would be too easy to prey on."
-
>"So, shall we go surprise them now?"
-
>"So, shall we go surprise them now?"
>Yukari grins widely, "No time like the present~!"
>She opens a wide gap.
>Hatate stares at you, "So... you're going to scare someone else whilst dressed like zombies?"
-
>Blink a few times. "Come to think of it, we should try something else for them, shouldn't we?"
-
>Blink a few times. "Come to think of it, we should try something else for them, shouldn't we?"
>Hatate facepalms, "How about normal clothes?"
>Yukari clicks her fingers, "Makai demons! We all dress up like we're from Makai! And we can get some of us to dress like Shinki, Yumeko, and all the others. Heck, we might even get someone to dress as Mima. Oh, that'd be hilarious!"
-
>Clap! "That's a brilliant idea! And I know just the people to do those outfits~! But we'll probably have to reverse the agedown to do it right..."
-
>Clap! "That's a brilliant idea! And I know just the people to do those outfits~! But we'll probably have to reverse the agedown to do it right..."
>Yukari sighs, "Ah... that may be a hitch. Oh, well, we can pull it off if we do it just right. And, who were you thinking?"
-
>Nod. "Well, Yuuka has green hair, right? So she can look like Mima! And I was thinking Sakuya or Eirin could be Shinki. But Yumeko's going to be a troublesome one, since the only blonde people we have easy access to that could pull it off are the very same ones we're going to surprise."
-
>Nod. "Well, Yuuka has green hair, right? So she can look like Mima! And I was thinking Sakuya or Eirin could be Shinki. But Yumeko's going to be a troublesome one, since the only blonde people we have easy access to that could pull it off are the very same ones we're going to surprise."
>Yukari nods in agreement, liking your ideas.
>"Well... I suppose Ran could be Yumeko. Ran's hair is a little bit short for Yumeko, however, but she does have the right eye colour." she suggests. "And Eirin would make a brilliant Shinki."
-
>Nod excitedly. "She'll have to hide her tails though~!"
-
>Nod excitedly. "She'll have to hide her tails though~!"
>Yukari opens a gap once for emphasis, "We can just put her tails in a gap and tuck a dress over it. It may be just a wee bit uncomfortable, but I'm sure she'll be okay with it."
-
>Nod. "But wasn't Yumeko's outfit a short little number that draws attention to the thighs?"
-
>Nod. "But wasn't Yumeko's outfit a short little number that draws attention to the thighs?"
>Yukari nods, "Ah... that is a little problematic... I have a wig similar to Yumeko's hair, anyway, so we can put anyone in that outfit and slap a wig on top. I'm voting Wriggle, for her new figure."
-
>Nod eagerly. "That should work~!"
-
>Nod eagerly. "That should work~!"
>Yukari giggles, "Right, let's get this started. Nobody ask where I got these costumes, okay~? Yuuka, you're going to be Mima. Eirin, you've got grey eyes and long hair, so you're Shinki. Wriggle, you're Yumeko."
>Yuuka, Eirin and Wriggle step forward, and Yukari reaches into a gap to find some costumes.
>Yukari looks at Yuuka, "We may need some hair extensions for you. Your hair's a bit short for Mima."
>Yuuka shrugs carelessly, "As long as it looks authentic~!"
-
>Giggle excitedly. "This should be great~!"
>Let's watch the fun when it starts~!
-
>Giggle excitedly. "This should be great~!"
>Let's watch the fun when it starts~!
>Yukari hands everyone their respective outfits, and ushers them quickly behind a tree to change.
>She turns to everyone, "Everyone, viewing gaps will be available. Keep yourself out of sight, of course~"
>After a few minutes, Yuuka-Mima, Eirin-Shinki and Wriggle-Yumeko emerge, dressed in their outfits. They look like the spitting image.
>Yukari quickly does Eirin's hair in the style of Shinki's, grinning, "Now, it's perfect. Mima, if you'd like to go first, and Shinki and Yumeko can follow."
>The three of them walk into a large gap that Yukari has just opened, leading to the Forest of Magic. Yukari quickly alters the Border of Green and Yellow in Wriggle's eyes, to give her the yellow eyes of Yumeko.
>Yukari opens a wide viewing gap, and calls everyone else around to watch.
-
>Head on over and watch the fun!
>"This should be good~!"
-
>Head on over and watch the fun!
>"This should be good~!"
>You head over and look through the viewing gap provided. Several people shuffle out of the way to give you a better view.
>'Mima' knocks on Marisa's door, and 'Shinki' and 'Yumeko' hang behind out of sight.
>Nobody answers.
>'Mima' hammers harder on the door.
>Marisa shouts, "Alright, alright, don't freaking lose your head over five seconds, da-ze!! I'm coming, keep your hair on!!"
>Marisa then answers the door, "Hey, what do you-..."
>She lets out a yelp, "MIMA?!"
-
>Grin. "This is going to get good~!"
>Let's keep watching!
-
>Grin. "This is going to get good~!"
>Let's keep watching!
>Marisa backs into the house, stuttering, "Bu-... you-... I... we... the..."
>'Mima' walks forward, "Yes, yes, details aren't necessary. Hey, is Alice nearby? Shinki and Yumeko decided to tag along, too, so obviously that little grimoire-wielder will want to join in the festivites, no?"
>Marisa sidesteps out of 'Mima's way and runs to Alice's house next door.
>She bangs on Alice's front door, "Alice! Yo, Alice! Come outside, now!"
>Alice answers the door, rather annoyed, "What? You know I'm busy."
>Marisa points to Mima, who is now joined by Shinki and Yumeko.
>Alice's eyes widen, and her face goes pale, "Sh-... i-it's Shinki? And Yumeko? And... And Mima?!"
>She grabs Marisa by the collar and drags her inside.
>"Why are they here?!" Alice hisses from inside.
>"I don't know! Whaddaya' expect me to tell ya'?! 'Hey, Alice, just invited people from MAKAI for tea', huh?! Wait 'til Reimu hears about this, we are toast!" Marisa replies.
>Alice laughs, "We? Back off, sister, there is no we in this situation! Shinki may have looked after me as a child, but Mima was your mentor so you go and sort it out!"
>Marisa flies out of the front door, having been pushed out by Alice who remains watching from the window.
-
>Giggle excitedly. "Ooh~! It's just like one of those Soap Operas~!"
>Beat.
>"You know, I never really understood why they called them that."
-
>Giggle excitedly. "Ooh~! It's just like one of those Soap Operas~!"
>Beat.
>"You know, I never really understood why they called them that."
>Yukari shrugs, "It has something to do with radio shows using household products to sponsor their serial shows, and many soap manufacturers were those sponsors. Nobody really cares anymore."
>Marisa stutters in front of the trio, "Uh... so... what brings ya' to the neighbourhood?"
>'Shinki', really laying it on thick, steps forward, "Oh, Marisa, long time no see. Don't say you forgot about our scheduled visit... we even had it planned out, didn't we? You forgot to tell Alice, didn't you?"
>Alice storms out, grabbing Marisa, "You knew?!"
>Marisa yelps, "She's lying, I'm innocent, I tell ya'! I haven't done anything!"
>'Shinki' chuckles, "No matter, no matter... we ought to go and pay Reimu a visit, let her know that we and several more of our friends from Makai are giving Gensokyo a little visit~"
>Alice leaps forward, "No! You are not telling Reimu anything, and neither are we! This is going to remain a secret and my reputation will henceforth go unspoiled!"
>Marisa folds her arms, "Anyway, I went to pay Reimu a visit earlier today, and she wasn't even there. When she's out, she's out for a while, so go try back in, say, never."
-
>Grin at Yukari. "Should we~? Should we pitch Reimu in~?"
-
>Grin at Yukari. "Should we~? Should we pitch Reimu in~?"
>Yukari nods excitedly, "Shall I reverse the aging? It'll only make things scarier if we send Reimu into this in her... chubby state.."
-
>....Grin. "I just had the loveliest idea~!"
>"Yukari, do you have a copy of that outfit Reimu used to wear in the old days, when she couldn't fly? We could put her in that, and make them think she had a daughter~!"
-
>....Grin. "I just had the loveliest idea~!"
>"Yukari, do you have a copy of that outfit Reimu used to wear in the old days, when she couldn't fly? We could put her in that, and make them think she had a daughter~!"
>Yukari looks at you, smirking, "Aw, come on, Yuyuko, I thought you had a challenge for me! You're on about the one with the trousers, aren't you?"
>She begins rummaging around in a gap for it, "It was here somewhere. Who would she have had the daughter with, for one thing? A random heart-throb from the Human Village sounds to be my best bet..."
>Yukari stops, "Even better idea. We have our little gender-swapped Sanae to act in, too! We could certainly build on an entire backstory, maybe even age it up so Sanae looks like the father!"
-
>Smirk. "That should work rather nicely~!"
>Beat.
>"Do you think we'll get sparked for this? Because it's so worth it~!"
-
>Smirk. "That should work rather nicely~!"
>Beat.
>"Do you think we'll get sparked for this? Because it's so worth it~!"
>Yukari shrugs, "So what if we do? Marisa will be way too frazzled to even comprehend it. Besides, if she tries, I'm sure she'd listen to a convincing word or to from... Mima~"
-
>Let's grin deviously. "So worth it."
>"Let's get to it then~!"
-
>Let's grin deviously. "So worth it."
>"Let's get to it then~!"
>Yukari beckons Reimu and gender-swapped Sanae over.
>Yukari lumps Reimu's old miko outfit into the chubby girl's arms and ushers her behind a tree to change.
>She then passes Sanae a change of clothes and ushers him behind a tree to change, whilst discreetly aging him up in the process.
>"This is going to be hilarious!" she cackles quietly.
-
>We may as well have a little laugh ourselves. "Won't it~?"
>Let's watch the hijinks unfold!
-
>We may as well have a little laugh ourselves. "Won't it~?"
>Let's watch the hijinks unfold!
>Sanae and Reimu step out from behind the tree, looking quite fitting for a father/daughter double act.
>Yukari gestures to a gap to place them in a good position, whispering to Sanae what to say, and whispering to Reimu how to play along.
>Sanae and Reimu head over, and Alice nudges Marisa, "Look, look, doesn't that little kid look like Reimu?"
>Marisa looks, "Yeah... who's the dude with her?"
>Alice shrugs, "I don't know, but that kid is way too chubby to be Reimu..."
>Sanae steps forward, "I take it you two are Marisa and Alice, then? Looks like we found the right spot."
>Yukari leans over to you, "I told Sanae to use the codename Satoshi. And I also told Reimu to call herself Reiko. It was all I could come up with at short notice, and they fit well... I guess."
>Alice gulps, "Yeah... I'm Alice, this here is Marisa... and... who are you two?"
>Reimu grins, "I'm Reiko! My mother, Reimu, sent me and Dad to say hi! She's busy for now, I think she had to meet someone called Yukari..."
>Marisa and Alice both go pale.
>"How did she have a kid..." Alice whispers.
>"...when she didn't even look pregnant..?" Marisa finishes.
>Sanae steps forward, "I'm Satoshi, Reiko's father, nice to meet you both."
>Alice and Marisa both look totally confused, and walk backwards into Marisa's house.
-
>"Grin. "I just had another amazing idea!"
>"We're still aged-down, so maybe we can pass for what would result if we ended up having kids~"
-
>"Grin. "I just had another amazing idea!"
>"We're still aged-down, so maybe we can pass for what would result if we ended up having kids~"
>Yukari looks at you, impressed, "I like the idea! This is going to make the prank on Hatate look like a withered leaf in comparison!"
>Marisa walks out of the house, minus her hat, "Right, uh... so, let me get this straight... Mima is here, as well as Shinki and Yumeko... and Reimu's boyfriend is here with their child?"
>'Mima' nods, as do 'Shinki' and 'Yumeko'. 'Reiko' and 'Satoshi' also nod.
>Marisa walks back inside, passing Alice.
>Alice stands in front of the house, looking confused, "What are you playing at? Shinki, if you had come to Gensokyo with Yumeko, either Yukari or Reimu would have seen you by now! And you, Mima, Reimu would have noticed you, too!"
>'Shinki' laughs, "Oh, Alice, ever the skeptic. All we had to do was wait until Reimu was occupied or asleep, and wait until Yukari was also asleep before skipping here under the radar. Why... do you want Yumeko and I to leave?"
>Marisa shouts from inside, "Yes!"
>Alice yelps, "No, no, no, I-I mean... damn you!"
>'Yumeko' steps forward, "I wouldn't talk about Miss Shinki that way, if I were you."
>Smirking, Alice also steps forward, "Oh, you don't scare me. You're pulling what Sakuya does, the stone-faced protector of her mistress. I know inside you're trembling."
>Shinki sighs, "Alice. Yumeko is a very adept sword wielder. You only have dolls... speaking of which, you never did grow out of those dolls, did you?"
-
>Grin. "This is getting good~! We should get in on the fun soon too~!"
>Beat.
>"Ah, we'll need new outfits ourselves!"
-
>Grin. "This is getting good~! We should get in on the fun soon too~!"
>Beat.
>"Ah, we'll need new outfits ourselves!"
>Yukari waves a hand dismissively, "Just say what you need, and I'll get it~"
>'Mima' steps forward, poking her head around Shinki, "So... do you want us to stay or not?"
>Alice nods, "Um... yes."
>Marisa shouts from inside, giggling, "She's lying! She hates you!"
-
>"Hmm...maybe some simple clothing, like Chen's?"
-
>"Hmm...maybe some simple clothing, like Chen's?"
>Yukari nods, "There's lots of different coloured ones, pink, green, orange, blue, any colour."
>Alice folds her arms, "How do I even know you're Shinki, anyway?"
>Shinki smiles, also folding her arms, "How do I know that you're Alice? The Alice I remember wasn't as suspicious as you..."
-
>Grin. "Blue and Pink for me then~!"
>"Oh, looks like Alice is getting suspicious! We should pick up the pace to keep her off-balance~!"
