Miyoi Okunoda | Touhou Project

Geidontei's Finest!

Look at all those Chickens whale motifs!

"Why she wearing a whale hat?" Don't worry about it (It's a mascot)

Food or drink she's got your back

Especially the drink part

Ooooh you want to order liquor from her and suffer no consequences for your actions,

Sike your suffering hallucinations now

But not everyone, just those that deserve it

Instead you should just relax, enjoy yourself, talk about your problems or issues, and be merry

"What's that girls name again?"

"Nah, don't worry about it," Cheryl's smile broke into a grin. "It's really my fault for putting you on the spot like that. How about we just say we're even?"

Cheryl waves her hand, relieved that the whole interaction had gone over positively. The whole city was so strange to her, so to meet someone who seemed to genuinely be kind gave Cheryl hope for whatever this strange island might throw at her.

"Nice to meet you, Miyoi."

"Thanks again. I guess you can tell I'm pretty new here, huh?"

[geidonteispostergirl]

"Well I wasn't going to say anything unless you brought it up. I guess its just a little obvious sometimes when people are used to all of this and the ones who are trying their best to not seem completely confused." But of course by pure mannerisms alone it was pretty easy to distinguish the too. She'd admit it any day of the week considering the alternative was asking anyone who knew her.

And that always had the chance of being embellished for a little bit of fun...

"Still there's nothing wrong with that. We were all new at some point right? Better to get those feelings out now then be in a terrible situation and have to tell someone that."

[impinged]

Good! An upstanding hat appreciator. At least you know it's in good hands.

"Right. Then, here you are." You take the hat from your head, your mess of hair on display for all to see, and offer it to her. "May I?"

In exchange, you have now acquired one whale-like cap. You give it a once over now that it's more easy to look at. Glancing back up at your own hat. Notable lack of stars, but the sea still has its own pull to you. You place it on your head. Nice! No brim to hide under, but it's cozy.

"Whad'ya think?" You pose, hands on your hips. "Do I pull it off? Or should I just stick to the wizard hats?"

[geidonteispostergirl]

"Well it's certainly a hat on your head." Which sounded like a cop out of an answer but really Miyoi didn't know how else to explain it. While the hat fit them just as she expected that's really all the youkai could say about the whole situation. Her own hat didn't make the individual stand out more or blend in. Perfectly normal...

...Which really could be used to describe how it worked on Miyoi's head as well. Although the wizard hat she traded for did give that little extra oomph she didn't normally have. Almost reminded her of Marisa's hat just a little smaller.

"I-I think the wizard one still fits you pretty well. If I had to describe it without your hat you don't look like "you". If that makes any sense." The same for her, even after doing a pose herself and trying best to get comfy it felt like something was missing. Just a little important thing...

"But what about me? Does it work or am I the same as you?"

[feathercowl-deactivated20260413]

"Oh!" She exclaims, snatching one of the squishy creatures out of the air and holding it in front of her face. Eyes narrow, but not in an effort to see, but instead in an effort to examine. She tugged at parts of it, watching it squiggle in her grasp, but not so hard that it would hurt, she would think.

How interesting! She was in the middle of her observation of the strange little invertebrate when she looked up and saw someone...Pop it into their mouth!

"...!"

People who observed her may think the shock on her face was that of, perhaps, abhorrence to the act. But instead, she held it up in front of her face.

"Wow! You can eat it raw!?"

@geidonteispostergirl -> winterfes 2024 -> nom ranching

[geidonteispostergirl]

"Have you never had a marshmallow before?" There were already a few that managed to latch onto Miyoi's shoulders, trying to put her into a panic. But she really couldn't be intimidated too much about something that only required a few small steps to eat. It was better then just letting them sit there and continue to pester her.

"They're meant to be eaten raw. But if you can find a campfire or somewhere to heat them up people often try to char the edges. It makes for an even better treat."

Although should someone do that to ones that are sentient? It seemed a little "out there" even for her own standards...

[impinged]

You're fine!!! Everything is fine!!! Yep!!!!! For sure!!!!

You grit your teeth and flash your best smile. This is definitely what you intended. You like hats. This is what you wanted. For sure.

"No, no. You're fine!" Yeah this is entirely on you, after all. No need for her to feel like she made a mistake anywhere. You are considerate in that regard at least, not so much for roping her into this situation to begin with.

"It is a really cool hat. A real... headliner." Ba dum tsh! Maybe a good joke will spare you this awkward tension. Swapping hats could make for a nice change of pace, though do you like your hat quite a bit!

You reach and raise your hat from your head, turning it upside down, you admire the star lining that the inside has. You look back at the whale hat she wears. Which is its own kind of neat, for different reasons. The ocean isn't too different to space! Probably!!!

"Do you want to swap? Don't think you can sneak off with mine if you like it too much!!!"

[geidonteispostergirl]

"Swap?" It sounded somewhat strange to ask but really she couldn't see any harm in it. At worst someone just ran off with her very easily distinguishable hat compared to everyone else's. So long as they didn't completely dip from Spirale in general it'd be pretty easy to get back.

...Probably.

"Yeah I don't mind. T-Though I'm not going to be sneaking off with anything! It's not like I've been aiming for another hat or anything."

[moraypower]

@geidonteispostergirl

"YO, MIYOI! Over here!"

How long had it been since the last time they'd run into each other? Way too long to go without a taste of chaos, if you asked her! Taste apparently being in the most literal sense of the word; as Frye ran up, it was with the wheels of a large shopping cart screeching as she pulled it in tow, beaming ear to ear as she gestured to the wide assortment of sugary snacks and haphazard, random ingredients strewn about inside.

Never mind the fact that the nearest grocery store was at least an entire block away. Or that she'd definitely made a break for it with her loot without a cent of dust paid. If the Stars wanted her back here for the holidays, she was gonna do them her own way!

"You do all that cooking sorta stuff, right? Wanna gimme a hand with all this? Y'know, for Squidmas!"

[geidonteispostergirl]

"Squidmas? I don't think I've ever heard of that holiday before in my life Frye..."

Granted it wouldn't be the first time this had happened. In the past few weeks alone Miyoi had learned more about the holiday season then she was willing to admit. Not to mention the numerous differences between each and every one. So Frye introducing yet another one to her might've not have been as surprising as she initially thought...

"Though if its cooking I don't mind helping out. You'll need to tell me what you need for squidmas to begin with though. Is it just the usual foods I keep hearing about? Or are there some specialties."

[elfcast]

✲ "Taste is subjective, right? Elves where I come from care way more about fashion than the other races, or at least the styles vary depending on your race. What looks good to one person probably depends a bit on how they were raised, but there are probably a lot of factors." The only reason she didn't wear traditional elven clothing in the city was that while it was fashionable, it wasn't comfortable!

Marcille hummed to herself in thought for a second about the style stealing comment.

"There's going to be overlap, right? You own clothes but you don't own how you put them together. If it was a big deal, no one would be able to wear the same clothes ever." Maybe she would be a little miffed if she saw someone wearing the exact same outfit as her though.

[geidonteispostergirl]

"Ah, that's true! All these designs are so similar nowadays that it'd be impossible to really find something that's actually new "new". And besides if i see someone that looks like me maybe we do have stuff in common. Hitting it off and all that..."

Maybe she was getting off a little bit of a ramble. Being able to speak so freely might've finally gotten to Miyoi's mind instead of just listening to people ramble on their own accord. And she was unfortunately just letting her go off without any real breaks...

"Hey maybe we should go out together some time and do just that! You know, pickk out something we'd wear back where we're from and have the other wear it. Could be nice to gauge each other's fashion sense and get a new perspective on things..."

[renatusest]

Cheryl let loose a long sigh. They were here, and there was little to do about it. If she had to pick between this massive metropolis to that hellish place, though, she'd certainly take the former. At least this island wasn't full of things trying to kill her.

Right?

"Yeah," Cheryl shrugged. "It doesn't do anyone any good to throw a tantrum."

She already knew that, after all.

Cheryl smiled at the person before her. Such a kind gesture didn't go unnoticed.

"Hey, thanks, I appreciate you saying that. I mean it."

"My name's Cheryl, by the way. Cheryl Mason. What's yours?"

[geidonteispostergirl]

"Oh don't worry about it! I'm sorry if I came off a bit rude earlier without telling you too much. Not a lot of people know I can do the whole floating thing in the first place."

And a lot more people would probably freak out if their diligent cafe worker or bartender started flying all of a sudden. Or they wouldn't really care in the first place so long as they got their order correct...

"Miyoi Okunoda. But everyone just calls me Miyoi. It's lovely to meet you Cheryl. I don't know how much I can help but if you need anything while your here don't hesitate to let me know! It's the least I can do."

[renatusest]

"Simple?" Cheryl can't help but wonder what she meant by that; there was nothing 'simple' about her own life but that was her own business and nobody else's. "This place hardly seems simple to me..."

This woman couldn't know any of that, though, so Cheryl ultimately found her words humorously ironic. 'Relatively normal'? Yeah, right.

"Well," Cheryl pauses, a dry smile on her lips. "It's not my first time being brought somewhere freaky against my will."

"I just thought I wouldn't have to go through it again."

She sighs.

"But... here we are, huh?"

[geidonteispostergirl]

Now she felt somewhat like a terrible person for potentially dredging up bad memories. It was bound to happen at some point but really the youkai was always actively trying to avoid problems. Especially now more then ever when she was completely right. What else could do they do but be held here against their will?

"...Yup, here we are." It might not have been a repeat offense like with what happened to her but Miyoi still felt some annoyance by it all. None of them could do anything to stop it, and that was the worst part about it all.

"We kinda just have to deal with it day by day. But that's why we all got each other. The two of us just met sure but I wouldn't mind keeping up with you everyday. Helps break up the monotony."

[imnotdracula]

Soma was glad that she didn't seem upset at all. He gave an easy-going smile to her.

"Yeah, sorry for such an awkward conversation," he apologized. He really stumbled his way into this and the least he can say is that he didn't make a complete fool of himself.

"Guess I should introduce myself. I'm Soma Cruz, it's nice to meet you."

[geidonteispostergirl]

"Ah that wasn't too awkward at all. If you think that was bad I have to make sure people all get out of the pub by the end of the night. Some of the things they say intoxicated would probably make them think twice of coming back. But I guess being drunk helps with that..."

And that wasn't including the actual awkward conversations Miyoi would have with youkai who weren't aware she was one as well. Like tiptoeing a fine line you couldn't fall off in either direction.

"Miyoi Okunoda, but everyone just calls me Miyoi anyway! It's lovely to meet you Soma. Have you been around here long?"

[elfcast]

✲ "W-Would I wear one?" The question practically stun-locked Marcille. She didn't always seem like it, but she was fair self-conscious about what she wore. Elven society was just like that, and even though she hadn't been raised in it she had always tried to keep up with their fashion trends to fit in if needed.

So the truth of things was that she wouldn't wear one. It was a little too immature for her tastes, and while it suited Miyoi she was pretty sure it wouldn't suit her

"It's not really my style, but I bet it'd be really popular! Kids would probably love it, right? And I'm sure some adults would be into it too!" She was as honest as she could be, trying to not make the one wearing the hat feel silly. "Clothing is an expression of who we are, right? But everyone has different tastes. Still, there must be people out there that share yours!"

[geidonteispostergirl]

"You'd think? I guess the kids part makes sense but I really never met an adult who would do it..."

Still the elf had a point. There had to at least be one person out there. After all Marcielle seemed to have at least some faith someone might be interested. They might not be here or anyone she's ever met but one day if the youkai was lucky she could stumble upon them, bonding over whatever kind of weird fashion sense they could.

"Where I'm from everyone's fashion is a bit out there from what people wear here I suppose." If that wasn't obvious enough from what Miyoi wore right now. "So I guess there might be someone Though don't people get on others cases about "stealing their style" or something like that? Maybe it has something to do with that?"

[impinged]

UH OH. This wasn't supposed to happen. If she approached you and assumed you needed something then clearly your little nod didn't exactly portray what exactly you needed it to. She did return it though. Maybe she was just being nice? Confused? Did she know??? OH STARS. You embarrassed yourself, didn't you? Subjected this poor person to a secret code that she was not previously aware of. Or will be, for that matter, if you manage to fumble an explanation for yourself.

RIGHT. You should really, really say something now. Really as in, like, right now immediately. Siffrin. MAKE WORDS COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH PLEASE.

"UH," you halt immediately, adjusting your volume before continuing. "No, no, I don't... didn't... need..." You wave up your hands to assure her of that much.

But you really ought to compliment her, since your nod failed so spectacularly at getting that much across. So you shift a hand to point up at your hat, only to realize that's not correct at all... so your other hand fixes to point at her's.

"Hat." PLEASE HELP. Stars, yes, Siffrin, you're both wearing hats... SHE HAS EYES! Your smile goes crooked, realizing how much you're fumbling this. Can't a guy just compliment some headgear without making a fool of themself?!

"Yours is cool, I mean! I, uh, I like hats." Why is this so hard?!

[geidonteispostergirl]

"A-Are you alright? Was it something I said?" Part of Miyoi felt like this was her fault for even answering them in the first place. Just walking on by with a wave would've probably averted all of this and yet here she was, talking about hats. Not that she hated the idea of a good conversation but this felt like a little too much for both parties.

"You could try it on if you wanted. Though I don't really know if it'll fit your head."

Maybe it wasn't about the hat anymore. Or it was and Miyoi just thought to try and drag it somewhere else in hopes to break up the tension. If anyone else was here they probably would've figured it out quicker then she was...

"Or did you need help somewhere? W-Was that supposed to be a conversation starter for something else?"

[renatusest]

Cheryl nodded. "I get that."

Gimmicks were one thing, but for a random waitress to fly around in a restaurant could be unsettling, if not a violation of some kind. Cheryl supposed she was no expert, having no experience in such areas. This girl, however, clearly knew what she was talking about, so much so that it further intrigued Cheryl.

"Sleeping while floating?" She couldn't help but crack an amused grin. "That really sounds like something out of a movie..."

(Yeah, a horror movie, but still.)

"Sounds like you come from a pretty interesting place if people have superpowers and stuff."

[geidonteispostergirl]

"You can say that. Though I guess what was weirder was learning how relatively simple things are out here compared to there..."

There was always an unwritten rule to keep youkai issues and the like away from human villages and let things pass. Yet here she was, seeing people just flaunt their otherworldly abilities without a care in the world. Almost made her wish to see what Reimu would do if she ever managed to end up here.

"It's almost the polar opposite of your situation. You probably came from somewhere normalish only to get dragged here. Meanwhile I'm from a weird world from what you said now having to live in a relatively normal place..."

[sunsage]

@geidonteispostergirl liked for a starter!

"No, it's like this-" He stretches his arm out and balances the shot glass on the back of his hand. Concentrating for barely a second, Wukong swiftly smacks the inside of his elbow and catches the catapulted glass with his mouth. And then he just tilts his head back, letting the burning liquid slide down his throat.

Once that's done, Wukong casually sets the shot glass back on the bar. "It's a little tough to catch the glass without spilling anything but the rest is easy. Try it!"

[geidonteispostergirl]

"Y-You want me to try it with just that? I feel I'm more likely to screw it up then get it right..."

Unless it really was that easy though the youkai had some doubts. Besides "bar tricks" despite working at one was not her strong suit at all. It always seemed more like a thing for people more involved rather then herself. Or a bunch of other youkai and spirits who couldn't care less about what others were seeing...

"Where did you even learn to do this anyway?" She said before picking up the glass again to attempt it, trying her best to focus on each step quick and precisely. "I wouldn't have taken you for someone who wanted to pick up something like this. Do people really do this at other bars?"

[renatusest]

Others? Were there other people from her world here? Cheryl hadn't realized such a thing could be possible; it left her with an idle sense of anxiety, as there were a few faces she supposed she wouldn't want to see again.

(Though, they were dead, so...)

Actually, Cheryl supposed she didn't want to think about any of that at all, so she decided to simply not.

"Gotcha," Cheryl just nodded, hoping it hadn't been obvious that her train of thought had wandered away from their conversation.

"Huh, never thought of that," Cheryl admitted. "I'd imagine flying would be super helpful, but I guess not everything is what it's cracked up to be."

Yeah, Cheryl knew that fact well.

"You said you can't do it for long-- that, uh, normal, or...?"

[geidonteispostergirl]

"Oh not really. Well I usually don't do it in the first place because I'm n- I mean I don't want to scare anyone on the job."

A floating waitress sounded cool in a bubble until one realized how awkward it might be to get their attention. On top of the most important thing, not getting your food in a manner you were expecting them to show up in.

"Back where I'm from a majority of the people there could float for however long they wanted. Some could probably sleep if they really wanted to but it'd really wouldn't make much sense. And some people can't do it at all. Kinda all over the place if you think about it..."

Though she did "forget" to mention that those who could fly were almost always youkai. It was humans and a few others who lacked such a usual ability.

[imnotdracula]

Shit. His week could not get any worse.

"O-Oh, I see." He tried not to feel embarrassed, but he already knew his face gave it away. Well, at least he didn't say something extra dumb to her and he was kind of right about the hat being part of something. Maybe he could salvage this conversation a little.

"So, your hat is a mascot? Do you work for an aquarium or a water park? It's really cute." Surely, something that large and cute had to be for something like that! "Kids must really love it. I'm sure they always come up to you a lot!"

[geidonteispostergirl]

"Oh no not a water park. Not is it really a mascot..." Would kids really like it? There wasn't anything that'd make it seem aggressive and the design was cute enough. Even if that wasn't the point of Miyoi's initial thought at all.

"I used to work at a pub. But since I'm here now I work at a cafe and the owner just didn't really care enough to ask why I wear it. So it kinda just stuck around."

As for how its still here nobody knew. But Miyoi was glad she kept it for this long. Or that nobody stole it just yet...

"Though I'm glad you think of it as that! I never thought of it from that perspective..."

[elfcast]

✲ "Eh!? No, I wasn't going to suggest that you remove it!" That would have been mean, especially if she liked wearing it. But if she had been led to that conclusion, then Marcille couldn't exactly deny that this was the impression she'd given off herself. "Sorry... Maybe I gave you the wrong impression?"

She'd literally told her some people would call her childish, Marcille!

"But if you like wearing it, then you should! Don't let anyone else tell you what to wear!" She chastised herself for this. She was no better than the stuck up pureblooded elves back home!

[geidonteispostergirl]

"R-Right of course I will! I wasn't going to take it off to begin with!" Not exactly the truth considering the youkai did just ask a question that screamed "maybe I should". But the end decision did always come back to her. And considering their resolve it seemed Miyoi at least knew what decision she wanted to make.

"You know someone once here asked if we sold hats like these. I guess they thought of 'em as some kind of merchandising product."

In a way it did look like that. But maybe not to the extent Miyoi was thinking it was.

"Would you wear one? Of my hat if you ever got the chance that is..."
