Earthquake strikes Gensokyo
Shinki Denies involvement
It would seem that rumors of the Makaian earthquake doomsday weapon may turn out to be true after all.
Gensokyo was recently hit with a small earthquake of unknown source.
While the celestials were first thought to blame, the geological evidence gathered by the Tengu Geological Society indicated otherwise. With signs pointing to an extraplanner source.
The only known plane with both cause and ability to cause such an earthquake is the realm of Makai.
When asked for comment Makai creator and dictator Shinki denied involvement claiming that “[she] has no knowledge of this.”
When pressed for details she insinuated that it may have been on of her throngs of underlings. Admitting that there was a “chance it could have been one of [her] citizens”.
Relations strained
Relations between Gensokyo and Makai have been strained following a border dispute involving tourism rights. Since then Gensokyo and Makai have been engaged in an unofficial cold war.
While contact has largely only been through official functions. Makai has remained quiet in recent years.
Many analysts on the mountain have claimed that this was simply an attempt to lul Gensokyo into a false sense of security. Now many are worried they may have been correct.
Rumors of an earthquake machine
Ever since the incident involving a celestial setting off an earthquake. The Tengu Geological Society has carefully monitored the Geological stability of Gensokyo.
Rumors that they discovered evidence of a Makaian doomsday weapon involving earthquakes have been frequent, but as of yet unsubstantiated.
This recent earthquake and Shinki’s evasiveness has put the veracity of those rumors under the spotlight.
