>Given Gensokyo's size and your familiarity with it, this is normally quite possible for you to set a fairly rapid collapse into motion if you really wanted to and no one was trying to interfere. With things as they are and yourself in your current state, it might be dodgy. You've never really entertained the notion of destroying Gensokyo before...

>That is...questionable. First off, there is the question of making a gap big enough to do this. Assuming you can, it becomes questionable if Gensokyo can survive for even a little bit without without it. While it has kind of happened before, there were many factors other factors involved...

>Normally you would need to use your astrolabe to find the way between worlds freely, but the Gensokyo an the outside world is something of a special case, as the former is heavily connected to the latter. If you found a proper point in the barrier, you are certain that you could pass through it with things as they are now.

>You gap over to the Hakurei Shrine, and find that little seems to be going on at the moment. You can hear some rather raucous snoring from within, and note the door is hanging ajar. That would be Suika, you imagine.
>Leaving the shrine behind, you walk into the surrounding forest and begin to search for an appropriate spot. Typically, you wouldn't even have to search from the shrine, but things are hardly optimal today. Picking through the light underbrush and hearing the sound of faeries playing in the distance, you find a few tiny spots here and there before you are able to find one large enough for you to pass through. Without your mirror, you cannot tell where it will open to.

>Through the boarder you see a forest, hazy and indistinct, as though it were a mirage starting to fall apart. Then a moment later it is gone and there are large boxy buildings now, and everything is paved, with only a few trees remaining of the forest. Then those are gone, even more hazy than before, and now there are different buildings, small houses packed closely together, with no sign at all of the forest of the buildings. This is so hazy as to be indistinct...

>You reach through and touch the ground. It feels soild, as the oil-based stone that people outside ose for their roads should. Then it shifts to a kind of hazy grass, which feels soft and slightly slick, as grass should, while you can see a thin forest has replaced the small houses. The forest seems practically like a fading dream, the trees are so hazy you think that you can see through them...

I wonder if it's worth visiting borders to other realms, such as Yuyuko's place or the Sanzu River. Not entirely sure what we would learn if they're like this, or like "gensokyo", rather than normal. Hmm...
>Has being in Yuyuko's realm or Higan given us a chilly feeling?

Yaersulf · « **Reply #56 on:** July 18, 2013, 10:50:57 PM »

Yeah, I think checking the Netherworld next could be a good idea.

>The borders here are like the borders elsewhere, slidshod and barely functional. You...think you can sense a gap ahead of you, out into the hazy forest a little ways.
>What do you mean by chilly? In terms of their borders, they are normally quite sound, save for the edge of the netherworld, where things grow hazy.
