4th Spellcard: "Highly Responsive to Prayers" (Post-Zombiefield)

[paradisemiko]

Action: 913 Bilko; locked to housemates

(Oh, what a great sleep that was! Totally not a worry in the world and-

...oh shit. This isn't her house. Why was she in someone else's house? She was pretty sure she didn't get this smashed last night...whatever, just gonna go downstairs and walk back home.

Except she nearly tripped over the package at the front of the house. She was just about to kick the damn thing when she realized it was...addressed to her? Creepy. But when she opens it up, she gets noticeably excited about her regain: the Hakurei Yin-Yang orb. Things would've gone terribly wrong if she lost it forever, but she was glad to see it again! This meant she could totally defend herself again! After giving the orb a hug, Reimu returns indoors since oops, might as well celebrate here...wherever she is.)

I should drink more often if this'll happen!

Phone

It's Reimu. So I got moved without my permission...whatever; I got back something very valuable from my world, so I think it balances it out nicely. Apparently, I'm now at...damn, what's this address again? Uhh...

(Just scrounging around for it...)

...oh, 913 Bilko. I'm not sure where that is, but yeah. I think I've been droned or something; it's somehow been days since I last remember going to bed. Did something happen over the weekend?

Oh, and Marisa? I don't know if that paint job we did transferred over here as well...sorry about that.

Action: John Doe Park

(So what's a shrine maiden to do after getting such a valuable and powerful treasure? Have some fun with it; that's what! She's been rusty with her hacky sack skills, but now's a great time to pick up on them! So don't mind Reimu as she practices her epic skills right there in the park...with a big yin-yang ball...awesome.)

[Vincent raises an eyebrow. This isn't the weirdest thing he's seen by far, but it certainly is strange.]

Let me guess...The town gave you whatever [He motions at the odd choice of hacky sack] that is back and you feel the need to flaunt it.

[paradisemiko]

(She stops juggling it for a moment to manage a response.)

Flaunting implies I'm purposely showing it off; I'm just having fun. Not my fault if people are drawn to it.

[closerthanheaven]

You're doing it in a public place, so it is more or less your fault.

[paradisemiko]

Well you could've kept on walking and ignored me, so it's more your fault than mine.

[closerthanheaven]

Why not just do...[He makes a motion towards Reimu] whatever it is you're doing at home? Then no one would feel the need to question you.

[paradisemiko]

There isn't enough space. The houses suck and my new not!mom won't let me even be close to the house while I'm practicing.

[closerthanheaven]

And I'm sure a person with such a ... charming personality has friends with more welcoming homes, yes?

[paradisemiko]

Naturally, but to be fair, would you let anyone near your place when they're practicing hacky-sack?

[closerthanheaven]

So long as they're away from my room, I couldn't care less. I don't like to get involved if it's not necessary.

[paradisemiko]

I can respect that. I usually prefer letting things solve themselves, but somehow, I get dragged into everything that happens back home. At least it's not that extreme here.

[closerthanheaven]

I only get involved if things become too...inconvenient for me. Things have a way of becoming a problem.

[paradisemiko]

Yeah, when things get too annoying to tolerate, I usually have to jump in and take care of it. It's repetitive, but I guess that's taking responsibility; that technically makes me a good person.

[closerthanheaven]

I prefer to have others do the work for me. I just direct them in going about it.

[paradisemiko]

See, I don't get that lucky; the best it gets is "last long enough until you step in, do it and then have a tea party afterwards."

[closerthanheaven]

That's just unfortunate for you, isn't it?

[paradisemiko]

Of course it is...somewhat. The tea parties aren't too bad, but the only problem is the cleanup afterwards.

[closerthanheaven]

Why not just get someone else to do it for you?

[paradisemiko]

I could ask Marisa, but then she'll call me lazy and then we'd have to have a spell card battle over who has to deal with it. Sometimes, we both end up going.
