Chapter 1A: Utsukushii
"E, F Sharp, G, what was the next note?"
"G! I mean, B!"
"OK, B B, G, B, G, F Sharp, T Normal,--"
"What do you mean, T Normal? The musical scale only goes up to J Flat, I mean G Sharp!"
The Primsriver Sisters were practicing for yet another concert that no-one really cared about, but listened to all the same. They were learning Beloved Tomboyish Daughter, and decided it wouldn't be a wise idea to get Cirno herself to teach the notes. Considering she didn't even know the first three letters of the English alphabet.
I.D. "Reeiiimuuu! Aya and Youmu are demanding to have another race!" Suika called.
"Let me guess, Youmu's slashing the donations box, and Aya's snapping a picture of the unslashed box?"
"You still remember, don't *glug* you?" She said, throwing her mind back to that first race, and throwing sake down her throat. "Sure you don't want some?"
"I'll pass," Reimu groaned, as she worried over her much-beloved and empty donations box.
I.D. Remi had overhead as she walked past the Shrine down to the Market in the Human Village, which Keine had uncovered on the condition that the village would only be used for buying and selling on that day. She'd planned to get some honey for her tea, and maybe a few no-sugar biscuits for Flan. Patchy could have a long novel, Sakuya a knive sharpener, and Koakuma could just have some cake.
As per regulations, the Quote Museum was having its annual refurbishment. Quotes were being taken down, and stacked neatly/thrown carelessly in the storage room. Oranj and Alucard were painting it orange and red respectively.
This temporary disruption meant that the Tavern was even more crowded than it was, which was a feat. Since both Oranj AND Alucard were gone, Nik and Blab took up the tending.
"Oy, Blab! Three milkshakes over here, one chocolate, two strawberry."
"You got it, Nan." He slammed down the handle on the milk frother.
"Hey, Nik! Long time no see!" "Yeah, I've been real bored lately and fell asleep for ages." "I know how ya feel, buddy."
Foru and Moy were having a 'milkshake fight'. They'd try to shoot the stuff out of straws at each other, and 99% of the time it would land anywhere but the pair. They were laughing endlessly.
"The way this is going, not only the Quote Museum will need a refurbishment." Buff grumbled. He tossed a deck of cards to Ridder, who split them into four sets like a boss. He handed one set to Buff, one set to Nin and one to Azn, and kept one for himself. They started a game of 'Jack 'n' Collect', which Mega had invented. Azn won three times in a row, having gotten lucky and having lots of doubles in his set.
I.D.Outside, away from all the madness and Sparta, some normal members were lying back in the Amazing Topic of Fun-ness, which really was quite boring now. Occasionally one of them would go through a link and try what it offered, but always came back quickly.
"Blah, this is no fun," StarF said. He kicked a paper ball into a YouTube link, and heard Fred screaming the other side. He snickered. "That was fun. Hey, everybody, kick these balls into links." Bread's ball hit Chugga straight on the nose, Bog's ball was shredded by a Mario remix, and 's ball sailed through one link, and thirteen seconds later came out of another link, which hit Avo square in the... uh... you-know-whats. "Consider yourself not a virgin anymore," StarF joked, and was promptly chased out and into the SM63 Hall by a severely annoyed Avo.
Maybe it was chance. Maybe it was unfortunate. But what happened next turned what would've happened on its head.
I.D. A strange human-fox in pyjamas tumbled out of an eye-shaped hole. Right on top of StarF.
"Gaaaahphlll--" He yelled as the fox crushed him.
MK and Kirb, who had walked by, noticed this, and exchanged a look that said "No, that's her, right?" and hurried over. Standing right behind StarF (and now subsequently the fox), they nodded in unison and proceeded to pull the fox off StarF, who was probably suffocating and bewildered, The eye-shaped hole closed.
"Dammit, Yukari..." the fox weakly groaned, then picked herself up off the floor. She looked around at her surroundings, and was shocked to find that this was not her homeland.
Kirb tapped her on the back, and she whirled around, staring at Kirb. "Uh... your name's Ran, right?" MK asked.
"Um, no, I mean, uh, where is this?" She said quickly, rushing over her half-undecided words.
"You're in Runouw.com. Pretty different from Gensokyo, huh?" Kirb said.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW I COME FROM GENSOKYO?" Ran screamed, whisking out a spellcard, which prompted Kirb to shout "Woah, Ran, take it easy!"
What had happened?
1A done! Big Touhou reference, but just ask Kirb or me if you don't get it.
