[So for the first time, Sanae reveals her face on the network. A bit too close, in fact. She's staring into the camera very intently.]

So a few nights ago was really scary. I hope everyone got home safe, and for the people who weren't at the party that you're safe too. I don't think I heard about any other attacks around the city, but you never know.

Something really weird happened to me during the fight that I wanted to ask about. This might sound a little odd, but has anyone gotten the feeling that they were, well, in-tune with something, or someone? Like, when they're standing there suddenly, pow! You feel super powerful! Because that happened. And then I could use magic, or some kind of technique or something. It even had a name.

I always thought that if I were to get any kind of powers it would be, well, kind of a bit less flashy, too. There were lots of stars and orbs and pew pew crazy lights. Does that make sense? Is that even a thing? I'd draw it but I'm kind of bad at drawing so maybe you can take my word for it? Reimu was there, she can probably tell you better than I can.

Anyway, the only thing that I can come up with is I'm becoming a magical girl. Or an RPG lead heroine. I mean, who calls out their attack names and has flashy magical star powers? Magical girls or RPG heroines, of course. I'm totally onto something, aren't I? Like, I'm up for entertaining other options, but that pretty much cinches it for me. I always wanted to be a magical girl anyway, so I'm pretty okay with it.

... Magical girl?

I guess I can see it. Though wouldn't that mean you'd need some kind of transformation before casting?

[miraclemiko]

Hmm, you're right. But then again, someone told me that people are getting echos back in weird order, so maybe I'm just lucky? I don't actually know how any of this works.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Well, there are Magical Girl style shows that don't use transformations... Though you could just be a wizard or sorcerer or something, too.

Which I guess would count as RPG Heroine. Though that leaves the question of what type of weapon you use.

GIVE ME YOUR MAGICAL GIRL POWERS.
GIVE THEM TO ME.
I AM MAKING A DEMAND OF DESPERATION RIGHT NOW, AND I SWEAR TO GOD, THE METEOR OF MY RAGE WILL GRIND YOU INTO DUST IF YOU DON'T COMPLY.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Obviously it's a thing if you did it. What did you mean by in tune with something or someone?

Which was it, first of all?

[miraclemiko]

Like we were kind of feeding off each other. It was almost like there was something in the air. I felt stronger, somehow. It's kind of hard to explain.

[not_good_not_wicked]

So like you were connected to a specific other person at the party?

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

Yours was certainly flashier than what I got.

Actually that attack seemed a bit like the sort of thing you'd see in a bullet hell shooter, with all the projectiles. A bit like something out of Seihou. Though maybe that's just me who thinks that.

[Oh hey, Reimu, your gamer is showing.]

video; no reimu don't do it you don't know what you're getting yourself into

[miraclemiko]

[Oh hi other shrine maiden.]

Bullet hell?
