>You are Reiuji Utsuho, and the world is wrong. Now you're going to fix it.
>You are a resident of Gensokyo Isle, an isolated nation located in the Pacific Ocean, established some decades ago in the wake of WWII by the Japanese and American Governments. You live in a small, run down double with your roommate Orin. Your adoptive mother and landlady Satori lives in the other half of the house. You are twenty-one years old, or so you thought, and work as a repair woman for Kawashiro Heating and Air. You know this now to be a life you lived outside of your true self.
>You are also The Subterranean Sun, the heir to Yatagarasu's power. You are feared by many, and among the most power people to walk the face of Gensokyo. You lived in the Palace of the Earth Spirits with your own, Satori, and your fellow pet (practically a sister) Orin. You watched over the Hell of Blazing Fires.
>You think of yourself as a generally well-meaning person. You have a somewhat poor memory, and keep a notepad with you at all times to assist with that. As such, your grades in school were mediocre, and were never able to pursue your dream of becoming a nuclear technician with Gensokyo Research Foundation. In your proper life, you had a tendency to go rather loopy when you took a blow to the head; resulting in a very embarrassing battle with Sanae. However, you've proven to have an aptitude with mechanical things, and have found yourself a comfortable niche repairing heating and air conditioning systems in this life; before you were a friend of Nitori's, but never learned much from her or the other Kappa. You have an inordinate fondness for crows, being a crow youkai this even carried over into your human life and some of the neighbors have complained about your tendency to feed them. You enjoy video games, good music, good food and good times; like practically any normal person your age. You and Orin have managed to secure a comfortable living together, if somewhat spartan. In your proper life, you lived in the somewhat empty Palace of the Earth Spirits.
>You awoke yesterday morning with a profound sense of alienation, and the conviction that everything you know is wrong. It frightened you like nothing you've ever experienced. For nearly an hour, you laid in bed, almost to tears from the absolute terror that you were losing your mind. But, you can't deny it. The world is wrong. What you know is wrong. You do not know how or know why, but you know it is wrong. And, you know that if you told this to anyone, they would think you are mad. Even the few you have shared it with have proven to be very skeptical. It has left you feeling like you are apart of the world, like you're some stranger who woke up on another planet. But, you have resolved not to take it laying down. You have vowed to find out how the world is wrong, and prove you are not going mad. Then you learned the truth. about yourself.
>You have spent the past three days traveling around the island, looking into things. Your memory is terrible and you really should write things down more often. You have discovered a robbery at the harbor, but have no leads on it. You have visited the shrines of the island seeking help, getting different kinds of advice from each; the Myouren Shrine suggesting you look within and look without to compare to what is within, the Moriya Shrine telling you to try to put it out of your mind, and the Forest Shrine telling you to follow your heart. You have befriended Maribel and Renko, paranormal investigators and detectives. You've made friends with a kindly gardener named Yukari. You've investigated rumors of a haunting at the Museum, inconclusively. You have helped your neighbor, Miss Heida, save her house from being accidentally condemned. You've tried to make arrangements for new sources of information from a pawnshop. You've made progress toward being accepted into the University and following your hitherto abandoned dream of becoming a nuclear physicist; you just need to prepare for the exam. You have had a role in getting your adopted sister possessed by a ghost, and having an awakening similar to yours. You have been unusually hungry the past couple days. You've managed to tour the Research Facility and learn of its hidden sections. You have begun a relationship with Parsee Mizuhashi, a conspiracy theorist you met in hopes of getting more information. You've explored the wilder parts of the island, and found it is full of flowers and home to something otherworldly called Stargazer. You have been possessed, in some sense, by the Stargazer as well as some spectral crow; the latter of which has fused with you. You have made friends with Stargazer, but lost contact recently. You have broken into the Research Institute, and found your Fusion Gear labeled as SCP-969. You have awakened, and learned Sanae is part of what happened to the World. You have defeated Sanae, Kanako, and Suwako, and are now taking steps to fix the world once and for all.
>You are presently making plans with Keine, whom you have just awakened.
>"I've already visited Reimu. Parsee, and the other person who helped me out in the institute are taking shelter there for the moment. And I promised Nitori I'd pick her up to protect her from the Foundation people."
>"I'm actually kind of worried about Orin, too. I was with her only a short time ago, and then she didn't answer her cell phone, after the fight with Kanako and Suwako."
>Keine nods.
> "One thing is bugging me though. Sanae and Kanako both told me over and over various things basicly saying that I am in the wrong and am being selfish. When I think about it... I wonder if putting everything back to how it was would make Satori suffer... I don't want to make her suffer, and yet she would likely tell me to "do what I think is right." But even knowing that, I'm hesitant about it all. I'm guessing at what she would say, but I have no idea if she would rather live this life over her life in the real Gensokyo."
>"I am afraid I don't know Satori well enough to answer that for you," says Keine. "But, given she didn't choose the course her sister did, perhaps that says something? Either she didn't wish to, or could not bear to."
