Slash, slash, slashā dodge back, that smart-ass goblin was trying to eat you. Gun out, shoot current wave of foes with needle-sharp green bullets. Theyāve fallenā pick up their loot, back off to a small enclave, catch your breath.
Blink as someone else goes flying past. Glance out, see that theyāre fighting right where you just were. Hm.
Heās going to take a drink of his water before hopping back into the fray, specifically by placing a few bullets in the back ofā the back of a wire-frame wolver. Great, opponents from his homeworld were now showing up. God, please donāt let Lichen colonies show upā¦.
āHey, Miss! These wolversā theyāre weak to piercing attacks, if youāve got any!ā Cue a pair of Alpha wolvers dropping into the arena. Stupid horned caninesā¦. Time to get back to workā and work his way towards this new lady who has shown up.
Were this any other kind of creature, Kasen would have continued to fly past; she truthfully hadnāt intended to get involved here. Thereās simply just way too much happening on this island for her to reasonably involve herself in every single small incident. How this situation differs, well--
Hm, piercing..? After dispatching a couple of the smaller creatures, the hermit pauses at his words and takes only a moment to size these beasts up, taking in the intent they harbor. Thereās a moment in which sheās gauging whether itās worth it to try to reason with these creatures, but judging from their hostility, theyāre too far gone.
Kasen, now more attentive, flies toward the smaller being addressing her. Her ability to be able to handle these creatures with ease keeps phasing in and out for some reason, putting a damper on executing any kind of strategy. Well, from what she hears, he knows something, so thatās probably a start.
Probably.

āT-The moon is not something to underestimate!ā Kasen has had enough.
Day 20 - Wild and Horned Hermit Komachi is stuck in the window.
fujiwaraphoenix:
āItās suspicious, and if anyone would know suspicious its people like you and I.ā Interesting people in Gensoukyou tend to be magnets for strangeness and Mokou was no exception, even if she preferred to stay out of the way of it. She didnāt know how many of the others were on this island, but she had ran into a few at the prior place so it was good odds they were drawn here too. After all, if the hermit was hereā¦
āIāve been trying to investigate the pit we woke up at. Going to give it another shot. I take it you are going to do the same?ā Considering the hermit was in the process of trying to deal with Sumireko and the occult balls when Mokou first met her, it seemed like a logical assumption.
āWe might be able to figure out something more if we go together.āĀ
Kasen could only nod in agreement. Indeed, there was a saying -- those who involve themselves with a strange phenomenon once tend to attract more and more of them later. In a land where such phenomena were part of the everyday, she actually couldnāt help but feel some sort of amusement and confusion over this. Were these kinds of things supposed to happen here?
The occult incident was nothing of compare, if her hunch was correct here.
āI wouldnāt be opposed to that, no.ā She had to confirm, and there was really no other way.
āThere was also something about the hole when I took a quick glance inside that was concerning. I would advise when we get there not to look for too long.ā
hello again folks!! iām looking for kasen here to build some relationships, as well as for her to do some Interesting Things. of course iām also down for just letting things happen organically and without really much plotting on anyoneās part, but iām more likely to keep interest (and probably you are too) if thereās something cool and agreed upon by everyone.
that said, iām not really placing a cap on this for now, so feel free to go wild and iāll surely be contacting via ask or if i have you on twitter or something. if thereās anything specific youāve had in mind by all means donāt hesitate to say so!!
giving this ad a like will also grant me permission to do the following:
throw random starters at you (or if you prefer i can give you a heads up before doing so)
toss plenty of memes at you on meme days
holler at you when events roll around
without further ado, hereās a few possibilities (not to be limited to this of course, but iām setting these out here):
ā¾ ā friends! yeah, this is pretty straightforward. if you want someone whoāll give it to your muse straight, sheās the one. even if itās not anything anyone wants to hear. sheās pretty painfully honest, except when it comes to things about herself. good luck getting her to open up about herself, though.
ā¾ ā those she can mentor! iām not exactly talking about subordinates per se, but if she has a good enough reason, sheād be willing to take someone under her watch. probably super effective in terms of instilling discipline (individual results may vary).
ā¾ ā if youāre looking for a more antagonistic relationship, we can deliver as well! sheās incredibly meddlesome fwiw and if something is compelling enough to her, sheāll investigate. it may be helpful to note she tends to operate based on her own principles rather than any established standard of āgoodā or āevilā.
ā¾ ā business partners! iād generally apply it to the above, whereby sheās basically using this kind of a relationship as a guise to further observe someone questionable. but, this can also be applied in a friendlier context, i think??
anyway for the one major thing i had in mind for this, it isnāt so much her operating any kind of business for profit, but she wouldnāt mind someone to help her⦠do something. this will likely transpire after she gets her ability back, which leads to the next thingā
ā¾ ā if your character is an animal come on down! her ability is guiding animals, and while she doesnāt have access to that currently, that doesnāt mean she wonāt try her best to develop a good rapport with them for the future.
ā¾ ā drinking partners! good luck trying to outdrink her, but sheās always down to converse over a round of drinks.
ā¾ ā lastly and probably least, romantic interest? i donāt think this is very likely to happen, as sheās really not what she seems and she is really not direct and honest about herself. itād likely turn into everyone screaming HECKIN BAMBOOZLED by the end of it. on the upside, sheās very kind and polite and diligent, but⦠as for her standards⦠good luck, lol. if thatās something youād like to try, iāll definitely need to discuss first as sheās⦠finicky. and as an aside itās likely sheās at least many centuries old so please keep this in mind about anything
thanks much and happy threading!!

āWhy do you insist on following me?ā It reminded him of another he knew, though at least this one didnāt lecture him about judgement.
āI--ā She didnāt think she was insisting, but she did have the tendency to come across as meddlesome. Nonetheless she shook her head and extended her hand, containing a small piece of a worn but strong chain, toward him. āI donāt suppose you want this back--ā Whether this was his, she wasnāt sure.

As she walked through the busy streets near the center of Spirale, Alice saw a flash of pink hair and what she thought might be bandages. She quickly disregarded it, and kept walking for a few meters.
Wait- bandages?
She spun around, and quickly made her way up to the figure.Ā āDo- do I know you? I feel like Iāve seen you somewhere beforeā¦ā
Indeed, Kasen senses sheās seen this one somewhere before -- perhaps at one of those flower-viewing parties Reimuās hosted from time to time? Come to think of it, thatās exactly where she recalls having seen this one. Sheās pretty sure.
āAh, me? Er, hello--ā She promptly and warmly greets the magician.
āIām from the mountain, but you might have seen me around, I believe. At any rate, itās nice to officially meet you. I am Ibarakasen.ā

Ā Ā Between running around to explore the island and witnessing the hullabaloo in the middle of the city, The Culprit hadnāt realized that itād been so late into the day when he makes his way back to the center. Of course, touting along with a second person often means keeping an even pace, but the stern nurse who decided to accompany him isnāt breaking much of a sweatā good.
What isnāt good, on the other hand⦠is the roil and bubble underneath his fur. The type of sensation he often experiences when heās being watched, and not by his current companion.
ā¦THIS way. I think weāre beinā followed.
Normally, he isnāt one to show all of his cards on the table, but⦠ugh, this paranoia is absolutely irritating. Thereās two of them. They can surely handle thisā but the impulsive feeling to throw it off without confrontation is stronger than logicā
He sharply turns. Quickens his pace. His footsteps are harder, almost deliberately so, and beat to the rhythm of two steps than four. The building up ahead seems an ample cageā loathe as he is to be in a cage as The Culprit, itās as if that concern doesnāt currently faze him in the form he takes.
Once Nightingale enters, he closes the door. The warmth of the setting sun dissipates, causing the shadow of the nearby window to eclipse over their own, and he quickly moves out of the way of it, just out of the range of the doorās swing.
Pressed against the wall is the form of a golden-eyed Nightingale, whose gaze is currently fixed on the otherās gun as if urging it to be usedā¦

Ā Ā Only recently had the Berserker been caught up to speed about the events that transpired at the center of town, her informant being an odd one to be seen running around with. Ā Apparently both are meant to go back in order to receive items from she knows to be a mechanical lifeform, but their path is changed when he brings to her attention a follower.
āTruthfully she saw no need to worry about such a thing, but she only gives a short huff as a response before making way into the crumbling building. Her patience was already stretched thin enough, but the occurrence of her acquaintance taking a form similar to her own was enough to make her ignore the idea of silence. Thereās a good reason why sheās not an Assassin.
ā ā Ā Is this the time to be showing your occult hobbies?! Should we not be heading out?! Ā ā
āA simple glance at her gun wasnāt enough to make her understand, and eventually the stranger was left looking in on a scene of a woman scolding what appeared to be a copy of herself. Unfortunately, Nightingale takes note of the other, a crimson gaze looking them over and over. It was even more unfortunate that she spots the glimpse of the bandaged arm, immediately approaching.
ā ā Ā You! Are you hurt?! Were you injured by the event earlier like the rest? Ā ā
ā¾ ā [ disinfectcd ] Ā >> [ @thornedhermit ] >> [ @cxlpritous ]
Kasen raises her brows, her left hand shifting to grasp onto those bandages wrapped around the misty void thatās her arm. But this is not something that can (or should) be revealed. Ever since her arrival here, it feels strangely corporeal, and at this point sheās too afraid to sate her curiosity. There is no immediate cause for alarm, though; the box is performing its function, that of keeping her arm from rotting completely. Itās still just an old injury, as she always says to anyone else who asks.
A bit of nervousness stays with her as she tries to laugh it off. āAhh, no, I wasnāt. Iām perfectly fine.ā An old injury, indeed. Exercising the same caution as before, she maintains her position and notes not just the one approaching her, but also a similar figure in the background. Just what is it about this one that draws her concern, she canāt immediately discern; yet her gaze remains fixed on them as she fumbles for a moment to figure this out.
She reminds herself that staring is rude and she immediately returns to further answer this woman before her. If nothing else, those stray mentions of the occult catch her interest -- on a mysterious island as this, such a thing may hold some significance, even if such a thing doesnāt play by the same rules as in Gensokyo.
āIām sorry for interrupting.ā Her tone, though serious, is gentle through and through. āI was concerned that there were some animals that were displaced in the commotion. My senses must have led me astray, it seems. You wouldnāt have happened to find any in need of attention?ā
