Koishi Komeiji ( from Touhou Project )－ the Closed Eyes of Love!

Do you want an imaginary friend that’s not so imaginary?

Or someone who just waltzes into your problems with no prior warning? 

Well then: Koishi’s the girl for you! 

Acts on her own accord. There is no stopping her... probably 

Literally everything she does is based on her current whims and fancies 

Maybe she’s a bit too carefree, but it’s a part of her!

But most of all: she’s here to have fun! ❤

 “Who let you in…”

The bar is quiet, perhaps too quiet. or rather it was in the afternoon and he had started drinking already. Without his guild, without power and influence, it seems Rhein is rather down in the dumps. 

 “Here to drown your sorrows too?”

To be honest, not even Koishi is sure how she wound up in a place like this. There sure were interesting places that weren’t back from where she was from, thoughー she can’t help but wander in. Plopping herself next to the man with no real rhyme or reason, she gives a bright smile. “Dunno! But I’m here now!”

“Drink?” Ah, she almost forgot that this was a bar. It was a place where people ate or drank and partied with people; that was the impression she got anyways. But a drink, alcoholic or not, was good at any time of day regardless of occasion!

... Although, disregard the fact that she didn’t have any money on handー something that seemed very clear. “Not really! Maybe I’ll have a cup of juice though.”

“ Oh, an office worker. It’s paper work for most part.”

Happy…? 

“ No. I’d rather have them. “

He’d want to make himself more useful. Whether it’d be work related or some other sort of powers, he didn’t really think they’d even have to be strong, as long as they made matters more efficient.

“ Cool? “

He can’t completely deny that seeing different world’s and meeting so many new people hasn’t got any merit to it but even so, his entry to neither here nor there being involuntary certainly put a sour note on it. 

 “Perhaps but… I think I’d rather be home. “

Quietly, she blurts out a small ‘oh’ out of instinct. It wasn’t out of disappointment or dejection ( why would she be anyways? ); after all having some form of power did have it’s benefits, some definitely more useful than others. 

Yet, with such power came consequencesー consequences that she wasn’t ready to face and... well! It was a rabbit hole of things she’d rather not think about. However the prospect of a regular old human suddenly getting magical powers was an interesting idea to think about! A good distraction, at the very least.

“Maybe you’ll get one in the future! You never know!”, Koishi blurts right after with a laugh. “But, being a normal human is nice too, I think.” 

“Home...”, She muses over the word, now captivated by the thought of going home. Perhaps, she was one of the lucky ones. After all she barely went home back then, and to top it off her sister, whom was the closest she could associate with the word home, was here with her. But there was something different about going back to home home and Koishi would be lying to herself if she said if a part of her didn’t miss it.

After her brief moment of thinking, she speaks once more, trailing off as she continues pondering, “Mm... I’d rather be home too! A warm comfy bed is always good...”

Oops! Could I re-apply as Koishi Komeiji from Touhou Project? Everything should be the same and on the links to the left side, but I took the time to update her application a tad (under /app). Similarly, my OOC contact is still @koishilovemail on tumblr. I guess my last post went over the month >_>

Welcome back to chilly Isola Radiale, Koishi!

You'll be staying in HOUSE 118

You'll retain everything you had during your previous stay.

PLEASE NOTE: Because you were removed in an activity check, you have one week to make two in-character posts or else you will be considered inactive once more.

Enjoy your captivity! :)

💛 💜 ❤️ || she did not need to OBSERVE koishi much to know that there’s much going on up there in her mind. for someone who seems perhaps too desperate to BREEZE on by, her sister could still think and think until her head burst. satori has a tendency of thinking too much as well, but her thoughts are always reserved. fears CRUSHED before she could dare to dwell and examine their surface.

she’s seen ‘em come and she’s seen 'em go - this island will always take people she meets AWAY from her. it is easier to prepare for the possibility, even though it still hurts like HELL.

❝well, that doesn’t SURPRISE me.❞ satori never used to like to explore, still doesn’t really. there’s occasional day trips to the more ‘exotic’ locales upon the island, but that’s not quite the same. in the end, she’ll ALWAYS sleep in her own bed. ❝but, i don’t think it can HURT to have a place to come home to.❞ and koishi may very well be surprised by her sister ’s subtle ADVENTUROUSNESS.

❝so, where are you housed?❞ she asks, palm of her hand resting against the side of her cheek. ❝your phone should PROVIDE the information if you’ve forgot.❞ and it would not be a SURPRISE if she forgot. ❝i am housed in condo 402.❞

“Mm... that’s true! But nothing beats... home...” Her sentence trails off; her expression clouded with a murky, unreadable face once more. Was it longing? Sadness? Not even she knew. But if it was one thing－ ah! 

Quickly, and abruptly, she has to remind herself to stop. It was at least something that Satori was here and only the gods know how long she’d been around. And Koishi had been absent from home for much longer, she could attest to that with confidence. If her sister manages, she could too, right?                   ( －But oh... if only she were like her. )

But that was besides the point! Now wasn’t the time to mope around! For both a distraction and to double check, she fumbles around to fish out the phone she was given. 

“I’m... housed in House... uh,” A brief pause, still flicking through her phone to find the information she needed ( what a useful device it was－ truly! ) before responding, followed by a laugh. “118! Wherever that is!”

“ Ah well… That’s good.. “ he says, voice depleting towards the end as a little. He can’t really get a proper read on her but it does seem to him like he inadvertently might have hurt her. It’s a little trouble some but he feels he’s said all he can. It does seem like she lightens up quick so perhaps he’s overthinking it. 

“….ah, yes. I am.  I’m originally just an ordinary salaryman but…“

“… I was thrown to another universe, not only once but twice. This is a second new world I’m in. As my summoning to the previous world was unintended I received no abilities nor… anything else. “ 

“Salaryman...?” Koishi ponders. Whatever that was ( perhaps a term from the outside world? ), that doesn’t sound particularly fun or interesting. Ah－ whatever, she decides it wasn’t worth thinking about what it could be and instead puts her focus on the latter half of his words. 

“Are you happy about that? Having no abilities and such, I mean!” Without a second thought, a question stumbles out of her lips, almost by instinct. A human, who travelled through dimensions not once, but twice? Now that, something Koishi was interested in! 

Never mind the fact that he, by chance, had some former life before being thrown in some universe. But if she could, she’d take his place if only to explore more new and exciting areas! She’d consider everything else... later, as she usually did. “I think it’s pretty cool already that you’ve been through all that twice!”

💛 💜 ❤️ || satori wouldn’t go that far in her ASSESSMENT of the surface, but there’s certain things and people she’s met that she wouldn’t trade for the world. there’s good and bad about the surface —- just the SAME as the underground. ❝well, i wouldn’t go that far, but … baby steps, yes?❞

always the one to DELIVER doom and gloom, it seems, satori isn’t surprised that she’s the one to be so dour. but, this wouldn’t be the last time she’s BROUGHT koishi down to earth. satori doesn’t particularly enjoy being the bearer of such HORRID thoughts either, but being one to always think ahead, she might as well just get it over and done with.

❝…yes, you’re right. we’re here TOGETHER.❞ as though with her third eye, satori sees through her sibling’s smile. while not nearly as expressive in reading the emotions of most, koishi is very a RARE exception. falling silent as she rearranges her thoughts, satori finally looks up again. ❝aye, we should … ❞ make things last while we still can. but, for once she’s THANKFUL koishi closed her third eye. there’s no need for her to hear that. ❝we should … get you settled in if you HAVEN’T already.❞

“Yeah.... baby steps...!” Her voice trails off, still hesitant as her gaze also waves off to the side. She didn’t want to lose Satori, now that they were here together! But what would happen if she suddenly disappeared, though? She’d be left all alone here, it wouldn’t be as much fun knowing that she’d just gone without a word or anything and－ 

Maybe it was best not to think about such things. 

“Oh－!” It was the change in topic that made her quickly bounce back to her cheerful attitude, facing her with a more genuine smile ( or, at the very least, more genuine than before ), fully welcome to talk about anything but that. Koishi ponders for a while, now completely distracted by the new conversation topic, letting out a low hum.

“I was given a place to stay here! But I’ve really yet to use it－ it’s more fun to explore!” She thinks out loud, almost, sorting her thoughts by speaking. “But if you’d want to help, I’d be happy to go there and sort things out! I want to spend time with you too, now that we're together!” 

[ibaaraa]

workaho1ic:

By nature Seiichirou was someone that seeks to accommodate to others, so seeing her expression he felt an urge to rescind the question but before he can she replies.

“ A-ah, pardon me, I meant no offense. “

Certainly, she looked no different from human. It’d be harder to speak of ‘mental differences’ and define what’s human and what’d be more ‘youkai’ like… Surely such things would still overlap? 

Ah but he should clear this misunderstanding. 

“ You’re right about that but… “

“  It’s true that you seem very much like a human but…I didn’t mean that …your differences or similarities would be a bad thing. I was simply curious. “

“I’m glad you think that way, mister! Don’t worry about it!”

A giggle follows her ( rather open-ended ) response. It’s difficult to decipher what Koishi means behind it, not that she herself can tell either most of the time, but she did seem more at ease. As if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Still－ it was hard to tell what was whizzing around in her little head of hers. 

If one thing was certain: it didn’t seem as if she was offended by the question in any means... probably. Youkai-human matters were complex ( or simply she didn’t bother to care much about it for the most part ), to say the least and it wasn’t a bad thing to be curious after all!

And naturally, she’s curious about him too, quickly changing the discussion topic ( perhaps on purpose ): “Oh! what about you－ are you just a human? As in, no magic or anything?” 

[ibaaraa]

workaho1ic:

It seems like getting captured elicits different responses in others. It goes without saying so he’s not too surprised but still to see someone so excited in the captivity is a strange feeling. Perhaps she was simply someone that settled in no matter what? 

She seems like a sociable one - or at very least curious type. 

“ I see…”

“ Well, it certainly can be interesting. “

Seiichirou certainly never would constitute talking to different people fun. He didn’t thought of most of things being ‘fun’ at all… But learning new things was something he held in high value. 

Speaking of which… There’s something else that’s making him a tad curious though he wonders if it’s appropriate thing to ask. Her attitude didnt seem to suggest that she’d take offense but Seiichirou himself was another matter. 

“ Um. Then…. if I may ask, what sort of being are you, exactly? “

Aside the artery like thing attached she did seem like a human but appearance didn’t mean to suggest much here.

She continues flapping her arms, still with that cheerful attitude. If it wasn’t clearly obvious by now, she’s very much enjoying the company! And she’s happy to answer anything or just simply have idle chatter until－

“Ah me?” 

A pause. It felt as if the question had struck something; as her expression briefly morphed into one of contempt, eyebrows furrowing. Gently cupping her Third Eye, her gaze drawn towards the purple orb, she lets out a low hum. But as quick as her expression changed, it swiftly changed back to the joyful smile she always had.

Yet, it still took a brief moment for her to form a response. “I’m a youkai, a satori! Not that I can do much with being one. Here? I’m just a normal human just like you... I assume!”

Another laugh. Perhaps that was stretching it a bit－ but it wasn’t as if she was wrong by any means ( other than the fact that she could fly... for a little while ). What was so different with her with none of her abilities and a human who had no magical prowess to begin with?

@ibaaraa / starter call.

💛 💜 ❤️ || by all regards, she should have been too INTELLIGENT for this. dabbling in foreign magics should have been an unthinkable thing, particularly at the behest of faefolk. once could mistake a newly arrived satori to be so FOOLISH, but not a seasoned citizen. they’re far more intelligent than the fairies of gensokyo, she has warned and been warned herself. yet, she finds herself called to place one of those masks upon the bridge of her nose and let it take her. and perhaps, that was her FIRST mistake, to think that she could use such magic to her ADVANTAGE.

❝koishi, i’m glad we’re able to enjoy this TOGETHER,❞ she says, rather genuine despite the STRANGENESS of it all. conscious gaze lowers to her dormant third eye, and she wonders if koishi often did the same when she closed hers. eyes lift, to take instead the open ceiling, seemingly STRETCHING a mile high. she feels so small … even smaller than usual. ❝i … would you like to dance with me? i think i could use a DISTRACTION such as that.❞

“Yeah...!” Her gaze was still locked above, facing the starry sky with awe and a silly little grin on her face. Such a sight had always amazed her since the moment she stepped foot onto the surface with how vast and open it could be. But this time... it was extra special, for Satori was next to her! 

Rarely, if ever, did she ever share a sight like this with her sister back at Gensokyo－ she’d have to thank whatever it was that caused this to appear ( to be quite honest, she wasn’t quite sure why even now ). 

With Satori’s words she quickly turns to face her, face lighting up at the thought－ before conforming to one of brief hesitancy. Despite her slight change in expressions, a mirthful laugh followed with her response. “A dance...? I’d be happy to, you know that! But I, uh－ don’t really know how to...” 

[ibaaraa]

a little late－ but I finally compiled Koishi’s event info (even though it’s very short)! she personally won’t be wearing any mask she’s given but it will be with her. if she were to wear her mask she’d... well turn into a cat. whether or not that’s ideal is up in the air, to be honest.

she won't be wearing anything fancy! she just walked in, basically. i don’t think that she’s even aware of how or why this is here, she just followed the crowd. 

likewise to the above, she’d be anywhere at the event! go wild! though most likely, she’d be spotted in the skies or trying to look for that secret passageway.

unrelated to the event: all the replies i owe are in drafts (most likely)!

Trucy is nearly spinning in a circle as she tries to look over her shoulder at her wings. They’re small, purple, bird-like wings with an iridescent sheen, not that she can easily see that. Hence the spinning. Someone please take a photo for her before she gets dizzy from this. 

“They can give us wings?!” This is the best day of her life. She finally fits the bird theme of her family.

Gingerly holding the mask she was given in one hand, she looks up towards the shimmering sky. To be quite honest, Koishi wasn’t sure why she found herself here of all places. Perhaps it was the crowd, to mingle with others and to enjoy the festivities. Or perhaps she was simply allured by the lights. No one, not even herself would know for sure. 

Regardless, with a hop, skip and a jump; she leaps into the skies above! To be given unlimited flight was quite a delight ( even if she had to have wings to do so ), especially when a majority of her time here was spent grounded.

She finds herself aimlessly floating until she comes across someone who was doing some rather odd movements. Almost naturally she calls out, doing a little twirl herself! “Isn’t it fun? Have you never flown before, Miss Magician?”

@ibaaraa·

While she may have been back in the same city, Ruby had figured out by now that she was assigned different housing every time she woke up here again. Which meant adjusting to new roommates every time she woke up by that pit, too. Honestly, she was used to the idea of roommates as a whole, having lived with the other gems in the Crystal Temple for such a long time… but living with complete strangers was a whole different deal.

Still, as she unlocked the door to her new home and walked inside, she tried to put on a smile and overall brave face. She wanted to make a good first impression with whoever she’d be sharing her new home and likely base of operations with, after all.

…even if that person turned out to have a weird, somewhat creepy, third eye attached to them with floating arteries.

Hm.

“Uh… hey! I’m Ruby! Is… is that eye always shut?” That last part had just been kinda blurted out, before Ruby could think over the repercussions that such a question might have. Whoops.

Humming a small tune, Koishi was simply minding her own business. It wasn’t often she lingered in the house she was given to stay, with being rather restless when it came to staying in one location for so long. Yet, today she found herself standing idlily in front of the kitchen counter... for no particular reason! She just felt like standing and she was alone anyways. 

Or she was until she heard the distinct sound of the front door opening. She quickly twirled in the direction of the sound, only to be quite surprised when she came face to face with someone... she definitely didn’t know! Was she even human? Not that Koishi minded that－ she herself wasn’t human either, after all, and there seemed to be all sorts of folk here.

“Ah?”, a small sound instinctively slipped out of her mouth, looking down at the other. She wasn’t expecting a visitor today ( unfortunately, she’s rather late to any form of news ), but it was a rather nice delight! “What’re doing here? There’s nothing interesting here!”

She wasn’t even bothered by the question as she quickly adds-on with a bright smile and a simple, “Oh yeah this? It’s always shut!”

★ : whatever she’s got in her hands, marisa hopes she doesn’t drop it — she’s not quite sure if the glass vial in her hands is a potential explosive or merely one of the more mild concoctions the magician keeps on display and, quite frankly, she’d rather not find out. or, at the very least, she’d like not to find out in the middle of her own shop.

all that aside, there’s still that nagging feeling she somehow knows this girl from somewhere back home, but if there’s a name or a place for the girl, then marisa can’t recall any of it. she’s got a distant feeling to her, like a word stuck on the tip of her tongue or a quip that’s become stuck and lost.

‘well, that i can answer, at least! this…’ she offers, with a flourish. ‘…is the kirisame magic shop! run by yours truly, of course — marisa kirisame, ordinary magician.’

she shrugs her shoulders and eyes the girl warily, if only for the vial she still holds. ‘we’re an anything goes kinda shop, so if you need somethin’ handled, i can probably take care of it.’

Gently, she sets down the vial in her hands, misplacing it from where she found it. From the assortment of items in the shop it seemed like placement didn’t matter, or well. It didn’t to her. 

Regardless, it was quite obvious that she was rather delighted about finding this location, even if her mannerisms didn’t seem to change from usual－ with the bright smile and a noticeable skip in her step. Koishi herself, even if she didn’t realize, felt more at ease? With a little piece of Gensokyo being so close by.

She continues to quizzically look through its stock, letting her mouth do it’s own thing... as her eyes were set on another set of glass bottles with some mysterious liquid inside of them. 

“Marisa...! It’s just like back at home!”, She was still rather focused on the shelves as she murmured ( quite obviously ) in half surprise, half delight; almost as if a response to the shop owner. “You did this stuff in the Forest of Magic too, right?” 

She continued to utter on, yet it was now unintelligible and her voice trailed off, now more focused on trying to retrieve the item that she had her sights on. Something like ‘...wow! so there are others other than sis here...’? 

[ibaaraa]

workaho1ic:

“ I see, I see…. “

He blinks. 

“ I’ve heard you may gain your abilities back as your time here extends… “

“ I don’t have any on my own so I don’t really know the specific but … you say you prefer it that way? “

He’s slightly surprised but he supposes all sorts of things can become a curse. Not to mention this is about what they’d call supernatural matters - or so he’d assume anyway…. Ah, he’s getting a little carried away.

“ Oh pardon me. I don’t mean to probe so you don’t have to say any more than that. We’ve just met after all. 

She gives a small nod, more as a gesture than anything else as she follows with a small response: “Yeah, I’ve heard that too! Or well, seen it... I thought it was funny how others seem to have their abilities, when others, including me, don’t!” 

“But mmhm! I like this this way－ it’s much more fun getting noticed! I could get used to it!” A bright smile remains on her face as she rambles on, flapping her arms around in... excitement? Not even Koishi was sure what it was, but she did appear to be rather joyful about the fact. 

Sure, it was rather inconvenient not having her abilities... sometimes, but she had more of a fun experience during her time here with getting to meet new people outside of Gensokyo and all! She’d say it was worth it!

“Oh, no! I don’t mind!” A laugh escapes her lips as she does another twirl. “I like talking to people because I usually don’t often and like I said, it’s fun!”

workaho1ic:

“ Good then… “

He’s not entirely convinced by her tone. He doesn’t really thinks about it long though, it’s not that much of a big deal after all.

“ An artery…. “ Seiichirou repeats. It doesn’t do anything though? That’s interesting on it’s own. He even wonders if there’s blood running in there. That seems a little morbid thing to ask though so he restrains his curiosity.

“ It has no purpose? “

“Yeah! An artery!” Though she responds with a bright smile, her voice trails off, pondering how to answer further. The eye having absolutely no purpose wasn’t exactly the truth. However it wasn’t wrong either, as all it did was bob around to her movements and float around idly for the most part. 

And it’s not like it mattered either way－ most all of her abilities had vanished when had arrived here, for better or for worse ( she prefers to think it’s for the better, though ). As such, it having no use wasn’t a lie, at the very least!

“Well, it used to...” She pauses mid-sentence, trying to think of an adequate response. “But it doesn’t now, and I like it better that way!”
