01 ☯ video

[lotuslegend]

 ...hello? [You have a finger poking at the screen.] Oh, is it working now? Admittedly I'm pretty awful with modern technology, so I might as well be talking to an empty room or broadcasting to Cthulhu's cage in the deep reaches of a cosmic gap...

Anyways...is there some sort of instruction manual for these? What are we actually supposed to use them for? Some kind of secret mission? For fun? [She scratches her head.] Maybe I should show Genji. He seemed pretty down when I told him not to come to Makai with me...

Or I guess I could ask a question, if anyone is actually seeing this. What do you know of youkai? Magic? Do you have it, wherever you are?

[not_so_big_and_bad]

All I know is that I don't much care about youkai and magic, since I've never seen proof of 'em. At least not until comin' here.

[lotuslegend]

That's not really much to 'know', it's more of an opinion.

[not_so_big_and_bad]

Then again, I guess you could say there's magic in bein' a werewolf, but it's nothin' I can quantify.

[starblaze]

My world has neither.

Ah... and welcome to the community, I guess.

[lotuslegend]

Huh. So it's just...normal?

[starblaze]

That depends on what you consider to be normal.

[greeneyed_demon]

Why the questions about youkai?

[lotuslegend]

There wasn't really anything else that came to mind.

[second_star]

No idea what youkai are or whatever, but magic exists here. I'm no good at it myself.

[lotuslegend]

Youkai are folk creatures that enjoy snacking on humans.

[A beat.]

To think they could exist separately. How odd.

[second_star]

Oh. You mean monsters? Sounds like the same thing to me. We got those too. Too many of them.

[baaaaseball]

I'm afraid my world is pretty normal. But I love the idea of magic and youkai and all of that kind of stuff.

[lotuslegend]

Then you'd feel at-home here.

[darklycharming]

I am a wizard.

[lotuslegend]

[She squints at the screen.] Really? Hmm. I don't think I've ever actually spoken to a wizard. [Witches, on the other hand...]

[sosbrigade]

Are you a magical girl?

[lotuslegend]

No. I'm a shrine maiden.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I'm a magical girl, if that term means anything to you.

[lotuslegend]

Magical...girl? You're a witch, you mean?

[denies]

... Sure are a lot of magic-obsessed people on here, huh.

[ Let's not talk Umineko magic, it'll just end up in 'without love it can't be seen'.. ]

[lotuslegend]

I wouldn't say 'obsessed'...

[poison_puppet]

I'm not sure about youkai, but we do have magic!

[lotuslegend]

So most of you apparently do...

permavid; ...and probably a placeholder

[omnomsgods]

[ ....for all intents and purposes, she was going to listen to this entire video. unfortunately, you lost her at 'cthulhu'. ] ...Huh?

<3

[lotuslegend]

Huh what?
