Ask an Oarfish!

I'm an emissary of the Dragon Palace, here in Gensokyo to observe the weather, and to provide wisdom and guidance to wayward celestials and anyone else who asks me. Currently running a Haiku Challenge.

I've been playing the game Love Nikki, the game of dress-up duels. This week's competition theme is "celestial love" so I checked which clothes I had to fit that theme ... and someone familiar appeared!

I knew it! Chang'e is real!

[askanoarfish]

Be the Chang'e you wish to see in the moon.

Touhou Riddle of the Day

Ever diligent

With her scarlet shawl

She watches the great lord’s daughter

Who is she

Touhou RIddle of the Day

With sword in hand

I move the Earth 

With every step I can make the world quake

Who am I?

[askanoarfish]

Eldest Daughter, I sincerely hope you have a good reason for causing an unscheduled earthquake.

[chenkari]

Yay! Commission for askanoarfish. Two versions, one with a pattern on Iku’s dress and one without because I wasn’t sure which one I liked. Cute!

[askanoarfish]

This is now called "Ribbonshipping"

We have received a valid answer for Haiku 4. Kyubox receives a point!

Touhou Riddle Haiku V

Round four has been archived. The first valid answer will still garner a point. Moving on to round five! This time, either the subject or the object of this haiku will be a valid answer. "I'm dancing with you Spinning up, around, and down Please don't hit me. Ouch!" We would also like to remind subscribers to submit haikus for our challenge, and to vote for which tag they prefer. Currently we have received zero haikus and each tag has only one vote each!

[askanoarfish]

No entries have come close to correctly answering the current haiku, so this one may have to be put in the Temporarily Unsolved file.

Touhou Riddle Haiku IV

Round 4 "My perfect sister. I'm stronger; we look the same! But she is more loved." As usual, the correct answer is the object of this haiku.

[askanoarfish]

We received three valid answers, which stunned us into forgetting to update. Apologies are emitted. Each of our entrants receives a point! itspurvis is in the lead with two points. The next round will arrive soon, so please wait warmly.

Touhou Mystery Haiku III

Here is the third installment in our series! This one may be more difficult. "Please do not approach. I'm a competent fighter If you're within reach." For this round, the answer we're looking for is the author of this haiku. Good luck!

[askanoarfish]

Does the haiku have to be written by a character, or can you make one up?

The haiku must have an answer that has to do with Gensokyo. It doesn't have to be written by a Touhou. 

[askanoarfish]

The correct answer is Layla Prismriver. itspurvis gets 1 point! Votes are still tied at one each. Don't forget to vote for your favorite tag! The next round will be coming soon. We are now accepting haiku submissions! If you submit a haiku, you could receive two points!

[askanoarfish]

Touhou Mystery Haiku II

An easy one this time ... "She missed us so much." "She brought us back from the dead." "And now she's dead too." Don't forget to vote for your favorite tag!

[askanoarfish]

The correct answer is The Saigyouji Tree. Yuyuko is the author of this haiku, so Pywackett-Barchetta gets half a point. Votes are tied at one each. Girls haiku their best now and are composing. Warmly await the next round!
