A dragonfly in a forgotten airfield

Hi there! Lorno Dartflicker here, ace pilot! You won't find a better pilot of aircraft in Gensokyo. This here is my airfield! I have all sortsa planes here! Welcome! Don't cause me any trouble! I'm warning you, I'm a dragon... ...fly. (RP blog for a touhou fancharacter youkai.)

[fairiesofgensokyo]

It's time those tank fairies met some other (similar) military danmaku hardware! You hear that thumping in the air? That's the sound of Lorno's attack helicopters.

Notable issues with attack helicopters:

Slower than aircraft, thus, easier to hit.Sustained noise, trees make it easy to determine the direction.Tanks have machine guns mounted on the tops and rears to help defend against strike planesThese tanks are following the spellcard rules, are you?

[youkai-aviator]

The helicopters use exclusively danmaku and spellcards, but they have advantages too: - helicopters can strafe - they can move faster than the turret of the tank and strike at any direction - they can fire from the direction of the sun. - they are more recent and have better range Still, an air assault sortie is good for practice on both sides!

"Yer a cute lil thing, aren't ya? I'm Lorno, not a very old youkai, but one nonetheless, nice ta meet ya, silver!" That's not his name.

“Oh no, I-I don’t think I’m cute at all, not as… cute as the other pets or Lady Satori, but thank you… The most cutest of the pets would be one of the dogs, it’s really fluffy, b-but… nice to meet you.”

“As for my name, I’m Eri… Eri Philomele… It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Lorno. I’m just a simple pet from Chireiden, but… what about you? Y-You dress funny.“

SHE CAN CALL HIM SILVER IF SHE WANTS-

She pauses, “I don’t need it, but it’d be sad if I left all those poor machines rotting around Gensokyo.  They want to fly, you know?”

She quietly nods to herself, “They were made to fly, so they have to fly.  So I fix em, and make em fly!  I’m Gensokyo’s one and only aviator!”  She made the peace sign to the fox, giving a big grin.

“Ohhhh…”

Listening to Lorno, Eri’s eyes were fixated at the helicopter hovering on the sky. She’s right, it is a bit of a shame if it’s just left there… But he wasn’t sure if people would bother to learn how to use it, since it’s big and… looks complicated, but everyone has their hobbies!

“Ah, Miss Lorno, umm… if it’s okay, can you please… let me… umm… sit in one of them?…”

[youkai-aviator]

“You want to ride in it?”  Lorno looks so excited.”S-sure!  I’ve never had anyone try, but...  oooh, you wanna ride in the blackhawk, maybe?”

She buzzed excitedly, imagining someone actually using her helis to fly.

[youkai-aviator]

Her eyes have gone wider.  “You know of America?  Are you from America?!”

She looks like she could be really happy, just begging for Clownpiece to say yes.  Her hands also seem to be gripping that rifle very tightly.

[hellishclownfairy-deactivated20]

“U-Um, I know of it,” she nodded her head, staring at the other girl. She seemed crazier than she was…not that she really WAS crazy, she just appeared to be. “But I’m not from it. I’m from Hell…I just found this thing sitting on the moon and took it ‘cause it looked pretty.”

[youkai-aviator]

“Oh...”  The dragonfly looked tremendously disappointed, then she smiled, “Well, that just makes you another fairy then, doesn’t it?  I have a policy for fairies.”

Her rifle made a clicking sound as she turned the safety off.

“’cause, ya see, I really hate fairies.  They break up planes.  Pilots call em gremlins.  So, I vowed ta avenge every fallen plane by showin those fairies a great big burst of Danmaku.”

[professortrost]

How my characters make friends...

Clark: Watch people from afar, brood, cause nightmares, mess with them.

Lorno: Tremble in fear and suck up to them.  Unless they are a fairy.  Then you shoot them.

Professor Trost and v2: Kick in the door to their house.  Loudly introduce yourself.  Try to sell them a gun to fix their door.

“Uh, it’s more like…”. She snapped her fingers as she had an idea, “Like this!” With a roar, a blackhawk flew overhead and thundered.

Lorno looked pleased with herself. “That’s a whirlybird!”

WELL THAT WAS SURPRISING! He certainly never seen something like that before! Such a curious piece of machinary, just flying around like that! This must be the helicopter she spoke of!

Wait… hold on.

“B-But umm… Y-You can fly, right? S-So… may I ask why do you need that…?”

[youkai-aviator]

She pauses, “I don’t need it, but it’d be sad if I left all those poor machines rotting around Gensokyo.  They want to fly, you know?”

She quietly nods to herself, “They were made to fly, so they have to fly.  So I fix em, and make em fly!  I’m Gensokyo’s one and only aviator!”  She made the peace sign to the fox, giving a big grin.

[youkai-aviator]

Lorno twitched as the fairy spoke, her hand on her rifle.  Her mind was racing, and finally she ended up blurting it out.

“America?”   Of course, it’s too vague.  But she’s basing her next action on the response.

This is a very important moment for Lorno.  She has a policy of attacking fairies quickly when she spots them.

[hellishclownfairy-deactivated20]

“America?” she repeated, staring blankly at the other before glancing down at herself. And then going back to staring in confusion at the girl. She wasn’t sure what exactly was being asked here, to be honest. Yeah sure, this was a flag from that place…she thought, but so what? “What about it?”

[youkai-aviator]

Her eyes have gone wider.  “You know of America?  Are you from America?!”

She looks like she could be really happy, just begging for Clownpiece to say yes.  Her hands also seem to be gripping that rifle very tightly.

Lorno is now emotionally confused.  Most of her spellcards have an America theme because that’s where many of her planes came from.  She likes America.

But she LOATHES fairies.

Should she shoot the fairy?  Isn’t that the American way?

[hellishclownfairy-deactivated20]

“Uhm…” she tilted her head, eyeing the other who had been..eyeing her for a little while now. The fairy was wondering just what it was the other could be thinking about, truthfully.

“How come you’ve been staring at me? June says that’s a rude thing to do towards other people, you know.”

“Well, I’m a dragonfly ‘cause I was born one! Silver, that’s like asking why yer a fox. Though maybe cause it’s the dragon triangle, it went to a dragon-fly? That might explain it?”. Lorno lifted her hat to scratch her head in puzzlement.

“Oh, right, whirlybirds are just helicopters. They fly around by spinning blades in the air really fast.”. Lorno, that doesn’t sound so safe, “an I heard yer name the first time, silver. It’s just silver is easier ta say.”

WELL, YOU AREN’T THE ONLY ONE PUZZLED, LORNO, he’s puzzled with you! He has never heard of a dragon triangle or something before! B-But he just has to take what comes?… Words are mysterious indeed.

“Unfortunately, umm… I do not know what is this ‘hell-ih-kop-teor’ either… S-So… Does that mean it’s… someone using two swords and spinning themselves really fast, like a top…?”

M-MAYBE IT’S BEST TO SHOW HIM WHAT THOSE ARE

[youkai-aviator]

"Uh, it's more like...". She snapped her fingers as she had an idea, "Like this!" With a roar, a blackhawk flew overhead and thundered.

Lorno looked pleased with herself. "That's a whirlybird!"

[youkai-aviator]

“...I still really hate fairies.”

“Whoa there silver!  Not those kinda triangles.  Dragon an Bermuda triangles.  They’re special triangles in the world that humans fear.”  Unfortunately this explanation isn’t any good.

“I control machines that were lost and find their way inta Gensokyo.  An lots get lost from outside.  My favorites are whirlybirds, o course.”  Eri has no idea what whirlybirds are, damnit Lorno.

“U-Umm… Y-Yakuza triangle?… T-That certainly sounds scary…”

Bermuda, Yakuza, same thing, they’re both scary, right!? Right!

“I’m sorry, b-but… I have no idea what are you talking about… are whirly birds… umm… birds who spin around? A-Are you like Sir Rinnosuke, collecting things, then?… M-Maybe the both of you can be together!”

LIKE A ROMANTIC COUPLE, WHO KNOWS-

“Ah yes… I-I apologize, my name is Eri Philomele, Miss. It’s a pleasure to meet you. But I’m curious, umm… i-if you say triangles, then… why are you a dragonfly?”

[youkai-aviator]

"Well, I'm a dragonfly 'cause I was born one! Silver, that's like asking why yer a fox. Though maybe cause it's the dragon triangle, it went to a dragon-fly? That might explain it?". Lorno lifted her hat to scratch her head in puzzlement.

“Me?  I’m just a dragonfly, though I kinda like ta say I’m youkai of the triangle.  Full name’s Lorno Dartflicker.”  She gives this childish smile, “Well, Silver, these clothes here are the same kind flyin humans wear!  Yeah, humans that fly in the sky without wings or magic!”

Lorno stop you’re going to make him imagine the wrong things.

“It’s also good fer flyin with whirlybirds!”  No, that’s not any better.

“Youkai of the… triangle?”

Triangle?… hold on, what triangle? Triangle… like a cake? So anything which is triangle, she governs? That sounds amazing! And… too late, Lorno, he now believes that humans could fly, just like Reimu and Marisa!

“O-Oh! I see! You must be the youkai of shapes, Miss Lorno! I-Is there a square youkai? A circle youkai?…”

[youkai-aviator]

“Whoa there silver!  Not those kinda triangles.  Dragon an Bermuda triangles.  They’re special triangles in the world that humans fear.”  Unfortunately this explanation isn’t any good.

“I control machines that were lost and find their way inta Gensokyo.  An lots get lost from outside.  My favorites are whirlybirds, o course.”  Eri has no idea what whirlybirds are, damnit Lorno.

[youkai-aviator]

“uuum, I was actually born here.  I’m just a Dragonfly youkai.  Ah, but my clothes, they aren’t from here, yer right!”  She happily tugs the outdated pilot uniform, “These’re from planes from the Triangle.  Either Dragon or Bermuda.  They get lost there, an find their way in Gensokyo.  So I’m the Dragonfly of Triangles.”

She smiles broadly, floating in the air as her wings make a blur.

[astrologistsgaze-deactivated201]

“Well I guess that’s the true story of the triangles then. The story told to the outside world of the pilots and ships disappearing is a change in magnetism messing with equipment, or something like that. I never paid much attention to the triangles myself, but the disappearances were well known from the outside world.”

[youkai-aviator]

“Yeah, I just found the clothes...  No people.  I assume youkai ate em up.  Still, I salvaged and repaired mosta the planes.  They’re really nice.”  She’s proud of that boast, “So you’re from outside? What’s it like?  How’re the planes?   Oh!  Oh!  Did you see any black helicopters out there?”  

She flits about, excited, “I only have a few o the black helicopters, got em back durin the urban legend hubbub.  Wanted ta be cool, ya know.  Like, ‘see, I got black helicopters!’”

[youkai-aviator]

Fun fact: Lorno’s sources are not just from the Bermuda and Dragon triangles, but all the vile vortices.

A little fun clue for the paranormal research lovers.

“I thought I saw all kinds of wings in Gensokyo but I didn’t imagine there would be insect wings yet. And the clothing is very outside world, but certainly not from my time period. When did you come to Gensokyo if I can ask?”

[youkai-aviator]

“uuum, I was actually born here.  I’m just a Dragonfly youkai.  Ah, but my clothes, they aren’t from here, yer right!”  She happily tugs the outdated pilot uniform, “These’re from planes from the Triangle.  Either Dragon or Bermuda.  They get lost there, an find their way in Gensokyo.  So I’m the Dragonfly of Triangles.”

She smiles broadly, floating in the air as her wings make a blur.

[youkai-aviator]

"...yea, it's not like I picked what I could do. I mean, one mornin I woke up, an I looked like a human, and knew about the triangles. The dragon an Bermuda ones."
