 ...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?

[denies]

No, you said it pretty clearly. It's just that as far as I know, most people wouldn't be particularly happy to hang around a witch.

[lotuslegend]

Ah, so another one of those people who finds the word has a different connotation.

[denies]

I'm pretty sure a 'witch' would be different across worlds.

... [ shrug. ] Then again, the ones in fairytales and fiction here are generally unpleasant too.

[lotuslegend]

Which is exactly what I was saying. [touhousweatdrop.jpg]

You mean like Rapunzel? Or Hansel and Gretel?

[denies]

Yeah, stories like those. Witches eating kids or turning people into frogs or.. whatever else it is, you know the kind of stuff they do in stories. Just hurting other people.

That much is pretty accurate for most witches in my world as well.

[lotuslegend]

Huh. That's odd to think about, witches being purely malicious creatures...as far as I know them, they're just neutral.

Though Marisa did try to turn me into a ferret that one time.

[denies]

It'd be nice if they were neutral, really. It means they would finally stop harassing me for a moment.

[lotuslegend]

As long as you don't cause trouble, you're welcome over here.

[denies]

What, do you think I look like the type that's about to cause trouble? I'm not some sort of delinquent.

[lotuslegend]

I've had one too many guests make trouble. It's a standard, now.

[denies]

Then you've just had the wrong people visit you. You need to find the few reasonable types among a sea of idiots.

[lotuslegend]

If only I could. I generally can't choose who comes over and wrecks the place.

[denies]

Oh, so they're more the kind of visitors that just burst into the place and refuse to leave? Sure sounds like a pain.
