[h2][center]Human Village[/center][/h2]

The carefree expression on Tenshi's face as she walked down the path to the Hakurei Shrine would not immediately betray the fact that she had been kicked out of Heaven once again for her belligerence. It wasn't a routine at this point so much as it was a point of contention; there hadn't been anything to [i]do[/i] up there for a few weeks, and ever since the Perfect Possession incident had been resolved, she hadn't stepped foot back into Gensokyo. Really, it wasn't [i]her[/i] fault that Celestials tended to be particularly boring about that.

If anything, that was why she was on her way to the Hakurei Shrine now; Shion had gone off somewhere else (to the chagrin of more than a few people), so she was left without anyone to do much of anything with.

Of course, heading to the shrine by foot meant passing through the Human Village, which ordinarily wouldn't have been a problem. Most of the time, the humans there would give her a bit of space as she passed through (which was a suitable amount of respect that she felt she rightfully deserved), but today, it seemed the town was abuzz with activity—and not in a good way. The words 'unconscious' and 'weird space' seemed to be particularly commonplace as she strolled through the streets, but beyond that, there wasn't much to be gathered from words alone. When there was [i]this[/i] much negative chatter, though, the blue-haired Celestial found it to be a given that there was something afoot.

In other words, going to the Hakurei Shrine wasn't necessary to have fun this time around—at least, not yet. If there was an incident afoot, then it was likely that neither Reimu nor Marisa would be there, anyways. No, instead, now was the time to poke around; if any of the other major players in Gensokyo were already moving about, then there was a chance that she could catch onto a lead here, right?

...Of course, if there was an incident, then maybe that meant that she could have some fun in a duel as she worked her way to the culprit...
