Where Would You Most Want to Live in Gensokyo?
« on: April 22, 2009, 10:54:07 AM »
If you were able to choose any one place in Gensokyo to live, where would it be? And no, you don't have to be human - you could choose to be any species you wanted, to give you more freedom of places to choose from.

Why would you want to live there?

What do you think a typical day in your life would be like?

Speaking for myself, I'd like to live on Youkai Mountain.

The view would be nice, and as a tengu, I could swoop down from there onto virtually anywhere in Gensokyo.

A typical day in my life would be fact-checking Aya's stories - itself a time-consuming task - then maybe popping on down to Hakurei Shrine in the evenings to see if there's a party going on. Also, because the Touhou wiki says Kaguya likes conversation and to show Lunarian artefacts to guests, I might try and pay her a visit, for the stories, and to keep her company.

A kappa, living in the kappa town under the mountain behind the waterfall, as a kappa engineer, with my own kappa laboratory. I'd share plans with Nitori, build tanks and random stuff with Rika whenever she drops by, go down to the village every now and then to sell my inventions to villagers or Kourindou, get hired to fix consoles, computers, etc. at Eientei for the resident NEET, Kaguya, probably argue over electricity rates with the Tengu upstairs, and essentially binge on cucumbers.

As a human or fairy, SOMEPLACE SAFE.

Otherwise, I would probably be a wandering storyteller tengu.  The adventure of being able to traverse Gensokyo coupled with being able to meet/hopefully befriend everyone sounds appealing.

Mahou no Mori is the best place to relax. Somehow I'm curious how to befriend with those light fairies plus, if something bad happened, you can seek protection at Alice's house.

Hmm...when I try to think about it, I really don't know.

If I were Youkai, most likely the Youkai Mountain, or the Underground City. Human, definitely either in the Human Village or the Hakurei Shrine.

Typical day...

...in the Youkai mountain I'll just be walking around, maybe travelling around Gesokyo, but mostly enjoying the view from the Mountain.

As a human, either farm to live in the village, or help out Reimu and stay as close to her as possible in the Shrine.

Does the word 'live' imply you have to be alive?

If not, Hakugyokurou sounds like a pretty sweet place to exist. It IS meant to be the Buddhist Pure Land, after all.

I'd feel most at home in Makai, I would believe is fairly peaceful to live in, given the fact that everyone around you there is a demonic entity and the ruler is also it's creator, besides those factors I wouldn't put it past me that Makai would be just like living in the human village only with a minimal threat of Yukari involvment and what not.

If we stick to Japanese mythology, I'd be a Okuri-ōkami, living around Hakurei Shrine.

If it's not who we'll live with, it's where we'll live. At least it's more difficult to devolve into having sex with imaginary locations than it is having sex with imaginary characters. I'd recommend you guys watch where this topic goes... Skirts the boundry of faggotry gappable threads. Seriously guys, is this a roleplay forum...?

I'd go with the human village... As a Youkai.

See how that works.

Moriya Shrine
MORIYA SHRINE
MORIYA SHRINE

and if not, then Tengu Mountain as Aya's lackey.

... though if the term "live" isn't taken literally, then I choose Hakugyokurou so I can spend the evenings eating Sakuramochi (lol cannibalism) in a hammock with Yuyuko under the blossoming Saigyou Ayakashi beneath the moonlight.

El Palacio de los Espiritus de la Tierra also sounds like a fun place to be. Though maybe not for humans. I might have chosen Eieintei if I was sure I wouldn't walk out of there with some weird infection/horrible disease/mysterious condition/extra limb/etc.

Bamboo Forest.

I would be some kind of Youkai.

Seems like a nice place to scare people since a lot of powerful things supposedly live their.

My typical day would be searching for humans and scaring them away. Maybe I would help them back to the human village if they were honestly lost, but then I would tell them to tell others they barely escaped with their lives after meeting me. Why would I do this? Honestly scaring people is perhaps one of the most fun activities to me and doing so as a more powerful being would be many more times fun!

I would be a Youkai living in the Scarlet Mansion. Mostly do to the fact of millions of books there. Probably read all day and go on the internet. A computer proved by Rinnosuke. When I feel the need to exercise I go and pick fights with other Youkai to test my abilities.

Mayohiga. That way if I ever have to leave I can take something from my house with me and be guaranteed a lifetime of happiness. You can't say that for any other part of Gensokyo.

Makai doesn't count as part of Gensokyo, does it? Though I'd probably prefer the SDM, seems like it would be lively there. Or at least the library would be.

Hakurei shrine would be nice... if there were donations.

Either in the Scarlet Devil Mansion or at Yukari's house

Scarlet Devil Mansion cuz I love the Victorian era architecture. Besides, living with a vampire would be quite enjoyable.  ;D

Yukari's house cuz I'd have the advantage of knowing where it is, and I'd have technology with the Gensokyo realm thx to Yukari.  8)

FIGHT!
