1 ✿ 946 Beulah Street

[Anyone walking down Beulah street today might notice the large cherry blossom tree in the garden of 946. It certainly wasn't there yesterday, seemingly sprung up overnight.

It isn't in bloom, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful. The tree boasts a strong structure and each branch seems to be angled in an almost perfect arrangement. The colour and the grain of the wood is magnificent and you can't help but feel drawn to it somehow. The closer you get to it the more you feel at peace. A wholeness, a sense of ease that you've never felt before.

Perhaps a little too much]

2 ✿ Phone

It seems like we have another incident on our hands. If there's someone out there with a certain set of skills I'm afraid I'll have to ask for your help.

I need someone who can create a seal.

[paradisemiko]

...what did you do, Yuyuko?

Phone

[ex_bloomnobly385]

Me? I didn't do anything. Haven't people always been saying, 'strange things happen in this town'?

Phone

[paradisemiko]

Yeah, but even the town takes breaks once in a while.

What needs to be sealed away?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

You remember that one cherry blossom tree in my garden, Saigyou Ayakashi, right?

[godlyreigns]

[Oh hey. Co-worker from the flower shop, sup?]

What kind of seal?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

One that seals things preferably.

Aah, it's a little troublesome. At home there's a cherry blossom tree in my garden with a powerful seal on it. There's someone resting beneath it and the tree won't bloom. I've been assured there's good reason for it, and I think I'm starting to understand why.

Mayfield was kind enough to gift me the tree but I think they forgot the seal.

[godlyreigns]

[She gives a tiny laugh of amusement at the obvious answer. ]

About how powerful is this tree, and what will happen if it continues to exist without its seal? [She's not a magus herself, so the depth of 'sealing magecraft' isn't within her knowledge, but she figures Sakura has something like that in her arsenal...]

[ex_bloomnobly385]

When I woke up this morning I found the corpse of my husband beneath it, so something like that.

A - Key-Fu is ALREADY insane!

[monk_of_keyfu]

[If Yuyuko's around right now, there's someone she might recognize from the carnival doing a rather sauntering strut down the sidewalk, on the other side of the street.]

[He stops in mid-stride when he notices that cherry blossom tree, though.]

Gracious! That tremendous tree sticks out like a thumb coated in Pepto-Bismol!

[ex_bloomnobly385]

[The exclamation prompts her outside. Tree? There were any particularly interesting trees in her garden except...

Oh, that tree.

Standing out so much, it does have a powerful draw to it. Even from the start, Yuyuko can tell that there's something off about it]

Saigyou...

Grah, I totally forgot about this notif @_@ Sorry for the delay!

[monk_of_keyfu]

[Key-Fu seems to be staring at it. In so much as he can with his eyes crossed, but he is facing its direction without moving a muscle.]

It is a most seductively sanguine serrulata!

[ex_bloomnobly385]

[Yes, there's something wrong. Definiately something wrong. Even if it is the tree from the garden there's something about it that's not quite right. From her back door she walks to stand next to Key-fu]

It is but... It wasn't always like that, I'm sure.

Phone

[adropofjupiter]

Why are you calling me? I'm not the shrine maiden, ze. I can't seal shit.

Phone

[ex_bloomnobly385]

Even if you can't you might know someone who does. I'm sure someone as boisterous as yourself gets to know a lot of interesting people.

Phone

[adropofjupiter]

...just call Reimu, ze. Not that hard. Even she'll pick the damn phone up.

[ex_bloomnobly385]

Well... these phones talk to everyone, right?

Reimu, if you're listening we could use your help.

I guess we'll see what happens.

...

It's been a while, have you been well?

Phone

[yamaxanadu]

Must you keep it?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

It would be nice...

Normally it doesn't cause much trouble, I'm trying to solve the issue.

[yamaxanadu]

Of course it doesn't normally that's because yo-

[No, she wouldn't be the one to talk about that.]

If it's going to stay it needs to be properly sealed, but there is a large price to pay to be able to do it.

[technophiling]

[Estonia has spent some time now eyeing the tree suspiciously from the kitchen window. He's too used to Mayfield to be confused about where it's from, but there's something... odd about it. If he can find Yuyuko to talk to her, he will.]

Your new tree is weird.

[ex_bloomnobly385]

[Normally she would have scolded him for being rude but after finding her droned husband underneath it this morning, she might be inclined to agree]

I think they made a mistake when they delivered it to me.

Estonia, you remember your friends who may or may not exist, right?

[technophiling]

Yes. What about them?

[Oh great, now you've made him paranoid.]

[endlesswitch]

Another, is it... I see that the one who rules over this place shall not allow for their pieces to grow bored in the slightest.

Phone / Action?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

Another what, sorry?

Phone!

[endlesswitch]

Another incident, of course.
