"Perhaps they did not know the exact limits of their gift. Or perhaps this is simply more amusing to them," Erich ventured--obviously, whilst he might be able to discern the origins of this particular magic... it was hardly like he knew Fiadh, although the overall logic of the fey was quite consistent.

The trek took them out of the gardens and back up to the very same building that Fionn had previously visited... and he seemed overall less concerned about the courtyard here being damaged or magicked in some way. The same butler had been sent away to gather wood, flowers--anything that seemed marginally relevant to Fionn's experimentation.

Silenna's Place


"No, instead it would just be wasted on some violent meathead. It'd be like teaching fine art to a cow," the blonde scowled, but at least she stopped trying to close the door and instead stood there with arms crossed. "But it means you can get information out when you're done. Prove it, get someone to draw up a geas... and fine. I'll waste my time on you."

Mage's College


"If only the risk was death..." Gisela sighed, "I suppose that I can provide some limited instruction that should avoid the worst risks. There's only so much marking I have to do..."

The embroidered designs on the expansive rug surrounding the desk--and, notably, it's two seated chairs--began to shine with that... before briefly depositing the pair of them and the chairs in what looked like an identical circle etched into an entrance hall before being filled with silver. Compared to the transportation that had brought Gertrude to this realm, the teleportation was undoubtedly primitive and power-hungry--but it was fast.

The hundi didn't offer much time to demand an explanation, pulling a staff--one that had no reasonable way to fit there--from inside her robes and tapping it on the ground. That in turn caused the appearance of an armoured demon--red-skinned, obviously female... and absolutely towering over the short mage, even though she had risen to her feet.

"Did you know that from my perspective you'd only been gone a few minutes? I hadn't even left your office." The hundi raised an eyebrow at that, as if asking what sort of summoner the demon took her for. "How long has it been for you?"

"Only about a week so far. It has left a lot of time to catch up on paperwork... could you watch this one? I need to fetch some materials."

With that, she rushed off through a door, leaving Gertrude alone with... well, whoever the demon was.

"Why are you in a maid outfit? You're obviously not."

Fujiwara no Mokou


The white-haired girl let out an annoyed click at the introduction, shoving her hand into her pockets. "We can't just beat this goddess up and go home?"

Not that she needed to hurry. Aside from the minor headache of some food rotting while she was gone... it wasn't like that forest was going to go anywhere in a hurry. There was a small chance that Kaguya might have moved, but with everything else that was happening recently, it didn't seem like that was too likely...

Still, she was willing to tag along while they investigated the boar. Wild boar were something she had quite a bit of experience with, mostly when it came to eating them.

This one was considerably larger than Japan's boars, but--

"You'd probably die if you ate this one. Even if it's not poisoned."
Silenna's Place


The blonde gave him another cursory look... and then moved to shut the door again. "You're attractive enough, but I'm not that desperate that I need to waste my time teaching a magic ghost."

Mage's College


The hundi seated behind the desk looked up, then went back to... marking? That looked like she was marking something. "Normally, I would say that I have been asked by the Vanishing Witch to not spread any knowledge of summoning within this realm."

She stopped writing, putting the paper down and gesturing for Gertrude to take the seat opposite her. At least it seemed like a comfortable one. "Since you look like an outsider, then you must be with the knights that she brought in. Tell me, why do you seek to learn summoning? If you are a genius as you suggest, then you should know there are far less risky avenues of study."

"Oh, I know," the old man replied, sounding amused--and then, standing firm despite the ground shaking beneath his feet with barely a noticeable adjustment in posture. "In for a long afternoon, then? Well, perhaps we should take this somewhere else. I would hate to reshape the gardens with fairy magic, they should not be that wild."




Outside Talderia


There was a brief discussion between the two on where to go--names and places thrown about, although at least the food was recognisable, and the argument about how long it would take to get there. Not that pricing seemed like it should have been a concern, but Edwin was the one pushing for going somewhere... well, cheap probably wasn't the right word, but simpler. For all the two were famous knights, they were from a lowly background.

"Something like that, this copy of Daybreaker... the effect looks pretty similar, but it feels different. It's a bit weaker, too,' Edwin answered, shrugging. "I don't think this sword is actually magical at all, it just works like it here. Not sure whey she borrowed the real thing today, but it's nice to see it."




Silenna's Place


"For the last time, I'm not taking any orders," was the grumpy response from behind the door, before it opened. It seemed the description was accurate, although not mentioning the various minor scars and burns along her arms from who-knows-what concoction, mirrored by the numerous marks and stains along a thick apron. The goggles of some sort of smoky glass or crystal hanging around her neck were an interesting touch. She took one look at Rolan before continuing, "No matter how hard it is for you to get it up, I don't care. Now shove off."

With that, she went to close the door.
Mokou


Going from a bamboo forest to a church by an ordinary deciduous forest was one of the more unexpected things that happened to Mokou in recent times. Not impossibly unexpected, she had only recently found herself being teleported to the Outside World, but that had been due to actively collecting objects to facilitate it. She didn't think there was some weird incident to be pulled into this time... at least, nobody unusual had been coming through to pick fights, which was probably the only thing to go on.

Or maybe this counted as a weird incident? Something of an annoying one, since it didn't look like it was going to wear off as quickly as her last foray out of Gensokyo, and these trees were not native to Japan. Nor was the architecture of the crumbling building. Still, if she looked around long enough, there would probably be somebody.

If not, it didn't really matter. It wasn't like there was anything she was in a hurry to get back to.

She was saved from having to follow a trail back to a settlement by the sound of voices. And she recognised that one.

"You!" The pointing wasn't necessary, but it gave her time to pick out other people except the vampire. Some green thing, boy, a green-haired girl that seemed vaguely familiar, that ghost's strange gardener... what was she doing with the devil? Had there been a trade in underlings? "You're not going to try have that maid eat me again, right?"

With this strange group, maybe Remilia wasn't the one behind this? Not if she was going to be out in the daytime. Even if she had only moved into Gensokyo recently and was more likely to know a way to get people out again.

Even in the... whatever the hell was going on in ULiL, it was definitely more 'along for the ride and being a weird influence' than control, yeah.


i return with something

less serious?

"I see," the man said with a small smile, taking the offered hand with only a hint of exasperation at the custom. Despite his size, it was a surprisingly light grip, not crushing, yet not weak enough to suggeest that age had brought infirmity. Or at least not yet. "Then, would you care to demonstrate what you already know? I am slightly aware of the daughter's talents but I must confess to being unsure whether my knowledge would complement the teachings of one of the fey."

Erich stepped back, arms folded, and waited. It wasn't likely that he would have nothing to teach--if there was one similarity between the stories of the legendary figure and Lilia's approach, it was enchanting swords.




Candaeln Yard


The more experienced knight's deflection was uncharacteristically awkward, barely avoiding getting tagged, although true to the form he was emulating, Florian didn't allow that to stop him from immediately pressing the attack to try and limit Fleuri's opportunity to capitalise on it.

"Oh, probably some sort of summer festival? The calendar here doesn't flow normally, and the seasons can remain unchanging for years or go back and forth on a daily basis, so it's just an excuse for street food and music," Florian continued, not allowing such a little thing as 'swinging a sword' to interrupt his conversation.




Outside Talderia


"The only things here from Aimlenn are the ones she finds personally interesting, it's still strange," Edwin said, placing the sword carefully against an unexpectedly undamaged tree and retrieving the copy he had brought with him in the first place, "Everything else is from Talderia. Or like something that could have been in Talderia?"

"Someone like the prince wouldn't know about the commoners' exact buildings, and we don't know anyone from back then who could answer." Parvan added. "But if it's the food you're after, there's still some places near Candaeln that have learned how to make our recipes too."
Rough draft of adaptations for... well, being fairies (none of the actual rolling stuff, I'll write that up properly later):

In short, it's really "remember Gensokyo's tech level... and it's Gensokyo... and you're fairies", so everything's even more lackadaisical and lighthearted than normal, but


  • Special Qualities:
    • Obviously, everyone has Absurd: Fairy
    • Anything that would add being some other... thingy? Remember Orin's Zombie Fairy spellcard? That's right, dress-up! Angel Fairy, Fox Fairy, etc.
    • Tragic Love/Trauma tables: just reroll or pick something else. <_>
    • Injuries: Pretty sure most of those would just be playing around too. They are respawning nature spirits. Blind is about the only one that... doesn't actually require injuring one. xD
    • Relationships: And this one, not perversion, please--most of them work, though a sibling interpretation might be a bit odd.
    • Dark Past: again, fairy games
    • Secret Job: Hacker - remember that you'd also have no idea what a computer is
    • Robot: see above. Maybe karakuri...?
    • Actually a Guy: no
  • Weapon: Danmaku. this should be obvious
  • Maid Roots: just use some sense. Especially with regards to anything like illegitimate child being completely impossible.
  • Stress Explosion: Not sure how quite to relate posts to stress reduction yet, but probably a two stage thing: if you just go over it, one dead fairy coming up. She'll be back later, it's fine. But if you just want to sit out for a while and reduce stress before that point (really looking at things like rolling 6 will here), then use the normal stress explosion instead. Hey, it's a fairy, not everyone's Cirno--and even her health bar was motivation in her own game. xD
