A simple alteration, but elegant and fitting. Is it actually possible for Flandre to have met Mystia at some point?

Hieda no Mukyu:
Let me move on to one of my top favorite characters: Marisa Kirisame!

The song I am rewriting here is ?Watch Out for This (Bumaye)? a 2013 dance hit by Major Lazer, which in turn is based on The Flexican and FS Green's song ?Bumaye?.

The featured toaster is called Busy Signal, who uses thick Patwa (Patois, Jamaican Creole), much more difficult for me to follow than the average reggae song sung in English with a Jamaican accent. I could not have fully understood ?Watch Out for This? without checking out the lyric video, and I do not think I can write filks in Patwa. So, I attempted to mimic the rapping style of some Jamaican-born U.S. East Coast MCs. Not sure how well I managed that, but some of the feedback I?ve gotten seems to confirm that I did match the song with the right character.

Refrain B draws heavy inspiration from ?Boom Shack-A-Lak? (1993) by Apache Indian.

I am neither a singer nor a rapper, but I usually test my filk texts multiple times by singing over the original, until I can manage it somewhat fluently. The assumption is that if I can reach that level myself, then it should be no problem for someone more skilled and devoted. This text is an exception. Unfortunately the original is just too fast for my ability.

--- End quote ---

I am not qualified to answer that based on canon. My firm belief is that Flandre and Mystia had not met before ?Tōhō Kōmakyō ? the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil?. But what has happened after that? Also, different fanons treat these characters very differently. Many light-hearted dōjin comics let little Flandre out of the basement so she can play with Cirno, and with the notorious ice fairy comes often the whole Team ⑨. Thus there are alternate realities where Flan and Mysty know each other rather well.
