Uh... [Blinks several times] are you okay...?

[ She finally manages to get the ofuda off and starts yanking at another one. ]

I should be fine once I can these off. That Reimu's spells are rather powerful~.

Spells? [Is curious Shun now.]

Do you want some help?

Mmm hmm~. Apparently just because she doesn't remember me, she has to try and seal me. There's a difference between an evil spirit and a spirit who just wants some shrine tea~.

[ She scoots around to show the back of her kimono, which is covered in more ofuda papers. ]

I would appreciate it~. I can't seem to reach these.

[Starts to peel the ofuda papers off her back]

Spirit?

Well, I am a ghost. A nice one, though, from what I've been told~. I scare mortals now and then, invite them to join me in the netherworld, but nothing really harmful.

Ghost? [Is momentarily shocked then shakes his head and goes back to what he was doing] Why am I even startled by stuff like this anymore...? There, I think that's all of them.

[ She giggles ] Oh, don't worry~. Everyone reacts that way~. I suppose I'm not what people expect for a ghost princess.

Ah, thank you very much.

[Smiles] Most people have probably never meet a ghost before. Oh, I'm Shun by the way.

There are some, but not many, no~. Hakugyokurou has very few residents, but there are still those with unfinished business I must watch over.

Yuyuko. Saigyouji Yuyuko~. Pleased to meet you, Shun-san~.

It's nice to meet you too. I think you're the first ghost I've meet. I don't think the others really count as ghosts....

Ghosts have such a bad reputation, just because of a few who do bad things...

Others~?

[Doesn't really know how to explain]

Umm...it's nothing really. Anyway Saga and everyone else weren't really bad. They were just trying to trick Hades into thinking they were on his side.

Hmm, so they were only a little bad~? They didn't possess anyone, did they?

No, Specters can't do things like that.

That is good. I don't approve of possession. It's very rude~.

And usually traumatic for those that are being possessed.

Exactly~. You should not borrow someone's toothbrush, why should you borrow their whole body? Yukari does so now and then, if she gets permission. I would not want to, the idea of being in someone else's body... It's a bit icky~!

Possessing someone probably feels very strange.

[Blinks when he realizes how odd the conversation...then tires very, very hard not to think about Hades]

Anyway, if you don't mind me asking, where are you from?

[ Par for the course with a Yuyuko conversation, but she doesn't seem to mind the subject change! ]

I'm from Hakugyokurou, the Land of the Dead. And yourself?

Tokyo, Japan. Although I spend time in Sanctuary too.

Japan? Everyone here keeps asking if that's where I'm from~.

Do you like it in Sanctuary?

It's okay there. It's very barren, and rock with stone buildings scattered about. Since I'm usually the one Saori-san sends to check up on things I visit Sanctuary more than my friends, but I think I like Japan better.

We don't have many buildings in Hakugyokurou, just the palace. There are much more interesting things in Gensokyo, which is why I visit so often~.

What is Japan like~?

I honestly haven't seen much of Japan. But Tokyo is nice, even if it is a big city. It might be crowded and noisy but I don't think that's a bad thing.

Is it somethin' you need t' talk 'bout?

Hmm, well, no matter how I talk about it, it makes little sense~. The shrine is covered in snow, and Reimu fails to recognize me, so instead of getting a cup of tea at the shrine, I seem to have gotten a banish spell.

[ she huffs one of the ofuda stuck to her hat out of her face ]

This is getting a bit silly~.

[He stares for a moment and sighs, putting his portable confessional down and tries to help her get the sticky stuff off] Is that what these things are for?

Ofuda are meant to ward off evil spirits. It's a good thing they don't work well on friendly spririts, hmm~?

I should have seen it coming, I suppose~. If Reimu doesn't remember what happened, we didn't exactly get along the first time we met.

[ she flicks at an ofuda in annoyance ]

Has your home changed at all since you came here~?

I suppose it is. I wouldn't know too much since I've never seen these kind of things before.

[automatic search for something to smoke, tossing aside one of those ofuda]

Change? Like weird stuff appearin' over night?

[ she nods ]

One moment the shrine was normal, the next it had gone back to the time before Reimu and I knew each other. I've spoken to Youmu about it, but no one seems worried~. It's a little strange, I wonder if it has happened to anyone else here~?

[a-HA! Smoke get and Wolfwood lights up and inhales with a sigh]

Well, there's a bunch o' new things hittin' Carcasses like some kind of tv thing.

New things? Tee-vee? [ confused Yuyuko~ ] How so~?

I never seen one o' them before so I feel the same way. It's like a picture box with tiny people talkin' from it. I really wish I know but it seems I'm sharing stuff with the broomhead's world.

A box with people inside of it? How strange~!

[ Cue Yuyuko wondering what tiny tee-vee people taste like. Drool. ]

I've been told it's like satelight an' they are just images of the real people.

[cue Wolfwood eyeing the ghost girl]

You okay?

Sad ill light, hmm~? That doesn't sound pleasant.

Mmm? Oh, I was wondering what a tee-vee would taste like~.

It's 'nother name for a radio.

Crunchy? I don' know. It's got glass.

Ohhhhh. Someone brought a ray-de-oh here before. It had a strange thing sticking up out of it~.

And people. People tend to be crunchy.

Yeah it catches radio waves with it.

...I wouldn't know that.

Catches? So it's like a net~?

Well, it's because of the skeleton, like with animals and demons. Ghosts don't have skeletons, so they're more like marshmallows... Ogres would be extra crunchy because of the horns... And if they're like Suika, they probably taste like sake. [ Obviously she's put a lot of thought into this... ]

Yeah, something like that.

[ghost girl gets a big blank stare of wut from Wolfwood] ...Wow okay... I can see that...

I see~.

[ Wolfwood just gets a grin~! ♥ ]

That's good.

[chews on his smoke and smiles]

You're back! Is your friend still being mean?

I had a very nice long nap~, and was hoping that Reimu had remembered me when I woke up.

[ sigh! ] I miss the tea at the shrine~.

Hmm, you should talk to the Twins. It's getting really ridiculous, ne?
