So, apparently there was once a magical land called Gensokyo...or maybe there still is? It's confusing. It was a sealed off place, probably in Japan because everyone spoke Japanese, that was a sort of safehaven for all the magic that people don't believe in anymore. There were fairies and vampires and wizards and gods and who knows what else living there, who couldn't live in a world that had forgotten them.

I guess it was my home, once, so I felt like sharing. And hey, maybe if I talk about it other people will remember it.

Oh, also I told my Mom about everything. It was a long conversation, but she's cool with it. I think she's going to use some of the ideas in her next book.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I guess you could say it had an everything but the kitchen sink feeling to it.

[counterclock]

kitchen sink fictives tbh
i identify as a dishwashing appliance

[not_good_not_wicked]

That's a really stupid thing to identify as.

Just sayin'

So if someone still believed in that stuff as real, would it boot them out?

[not_good_not_wicked]

You know, I don't know.

I don't think so?

[shiromadoushi]

Good. Else all that stuff would come tumbling back out with this crap.

Kinda jealous, I wanna go there.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I'd visit. On one hand basically everyone could fly and life seemed pretty relaxed. On the other hand they didn't have video games and the magical creatures would occasionally cause trouble for the humans.

[Just... hold on for a moment, Reimu is still blinking about that big memory echo she just got hit with.]

I... remember that place...

[She frowns.] Apparently I was kind of important there or something.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Maybe you were a shinto whatsit then too. That'd be kind of important.

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

[She nods and she's still frowning a bit.]

Yeah, I was a shrine maiden there too, but not just any shrine maiden.

[She pauses again, going over that load of information she just got again in her head to make sure she understood it right.]

... Apparently the Hakurei clan in Gensoukyo were some of the people who helped create it in the first place, and their bloodline was tied directly to maintaining the boundary separating it from everything else.

[She pauses again and shakes her head.] And that really sounds like it must've been a pain too.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Well it sounds important but would you actually have to DO anything in that job?

GUESS WHO IS TERRIBLE AT DIRECTING TAGS ON A PHONE IN THE DARK (it's me)

[parkourbot]

so basically
you remember like a magical fantasy land
which is admittedly pretty cool
im gonna go out on a limb here and assume you've got crazy superpowers

I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT BUT OKAY

[not_good_not_wicked]

I did.
It was.
I do.

the long and short of it is that walking home in the dark is not a time to be doing tags :B

[parkourbot]

would it be weird if i asked what they were
like i'm not being weird or anything
but like everyone is getting sweet powers
so i'm kinda curious

I walked into a ditch once while doing that

[not_good_not_wicked]

Well I can fly, and I've learned some spells that are good for blowing stuff up.

I don't remember any of that, but it's pretty obvious we don't remember one another or the same place at this point...

I'm glad your mom took it so well, though.

[not_good_not_wicked]

A lot of people don't get us. She's always trusted me to not get into anything I can't handle.

[eras]

My sister's similar in the "trusts me" thing, but I...haven't told her.

[ Since she forgot. ]

[ladyofluminosity]

That doesn't ring any bells, unfortunately.

But there was something else that I wanted to talk to you about. [She sounds fairly chipper. Even more so than usual.]

[not_good_not_wicked]

What up?

[ladyofluminosity]

I think I figured out how to do that rainbow laser thing you did a while back.

[shut_up_idiot]

You told your mother? How did you make her... well, believe it?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Well it helped that I know how to fly.

[shut_up_idiot]

Yeah, I suppose that would be convincing. How did she react? At first I mean.
