Battle intro: ”You learned magic, Honored Momo, but I am magic!”
Victory: ”Deity or not, friend, you need to work on your physical endurance…”
Defeat: "… Momo’s a dumb name anyway."
Assist: ”Sure, I’ll help out! Hit me with a Haste!”
"Oh, so the red one's named Hakurei? Good to know." Perhaps this Hakurei could be the one who solved incidents in Gensokyo, and her and Daichi were married,judging by the kid. "Anyway, here's the theory. She can manipulate borders and boundaries, correct? Use her gaps to go where she wants, and if you look inside, you could see eyes and stuff. Which leads me to this: is it possible to damage the borders from inside?" ((You don't need to tag me. I rarely check them.))
Oh, right… Outsider. So easy to forget that not everyone knows all the big hitters of Gensokoyo.
"Her name is Reimu Hakurei-Yuutamo. My wife, the shrine maiden," Daichi confirmed with no small amount of pride in his voice. The subject of Yukari’s gaps very quickly sobered the reporter’s wind. "Honored Momo, I’ve been pulled through her gaps before…" He shivered as the memory of screaming horror scraped at the walls of his mind. It took a deep breath to get the shakes under control, and he locked his eyes onto the mage’s before continuing, "inside nothing but terror and madness and an sprawling void. I don’t know if you would be able to hurt her from inside there, but I wouldn’t want to risk it, if I were you. You’re much more powerful than I am, and can probably endure more mental strain, but…" The shaking came again unbidden as the searing image of endless purple pools of nothingness sprang to mind.
"I must ask, Daichi. Given Gensokyo's more unstable residents, how do you defend yourself? We have so many powerful people here, including myself and the fucking boundary demon. It's just a curiosity."
"Defend myself?" The Karasu doubled over laughing. “Oh no, friend… I’m not nearly strong enough to defend myself. I either flee or endure any damage that gets thrown my way. I mean, I can handle most Fairies or nonmagical Humans, but if you or Ms Yakumo came after me, I would bolt for the sky and try to escape… When that failed, I would do my best to survive whatever you threw at me until you got tired." He shrugged and smiled sheepishly. “It’s not very heroic, but it has been effective."
"I meant the sea as in a very large area. I don't know the major working of the internet, but I do believe such a thing would be more beneficial. Also, last I checked, I do not recall seeing printing presses in use. All done by computers. Nonetheless, if you would rather me get a printing press, we have,,,several problems. Printing presses are huge, and while I can shrink it, I can't decrease the weight. Another is that they are in museums, on display. Breaking in and stealing it would be hard."
Computers… Internets… These were concepts beyond Daichi’s understanding. And let’s not even get into DNS problems! Poor bird’s head might burst.
We’ll save that for later, shall we?
"So, you’re telling me that they just don’t use printing presses any more? At all?" The reporter’s voice was past incredulous, and well into Life Doesn’t Make Sense Anymore territory. Unpleasant, if familiar, ground. “Okay, okay," the Tengu capitulated as he pinched the bridge of his nose between his fingers, “so Outside world presses aren’t an option. Yepruna ba! Thought I had something there too. Okay, so these computers fill the same role, right? What can you tell me about them?"
"The internet is a giant sea of information. If one has access to it, you can look up and research any topic you want. In fact, multiple news sites use the internet to publish news and info. Millions of people check out sites like that. Much more efficient than a newspaper, though that is still used. I think a computer-that's what you use to access the internet, among other things- would be a better bet than a printing press. Those kappa could look into it. What do you think?"
Daichi visibly soured at the mention of something being more efficient than his precious news papers, but had to admit that being able to reach millions at a time was rather impressive.
"While I don’t doubt the Kappa could probably make use of a, computer was it?" He shrugged and laced his fingers behind his head. “But we don’t have any seas in Gensokyo, so I don’t think this endernets thing will work. Are printing presses not used Outside any more?"
♥ ((Because, quite frankly, I'm curious.))
Mmmmh. I just am sorry for having turned tail away from that starter, but it was a period when I wrote little, and even less of that being any good. The OC is good and the writing style follows suit, though. Both are not rare (luckily), but undoubtedly appreciated.
((From my own experience, I don't mind the language. It adds a nice sort of flair to the RP, and I don't mind looking up whatever the word means. Keep the language. I love reading it.))
[[Alright, I believe the public has spoken, and I’m glad to hear it. Birdsquawking is here to stay. Danke!]]
"Daichi. I'm having some problems with the printing press. The main one being that they have been rendered obsolete by the outside world's standards, according to the Internet. So unless you wanna grab one of these old things, we are gonna have a problem."
Daichi’s face took on an expression of crestfallen confusion. “How can a printing press become obsolete? I mean… I guess you could make a faster one, but the concept is still the same, right? Also, what’s an internet, and who decided it was the expert on presses?”
