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]

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.

...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?

[paradisemiko]

That one tree that needed to stay sealed up, right?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

Right!

I was surprised to find it in my garden this morning but...

I think something's wrong.

[godlyreigns]

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

What kind of seal?

[paradisemiko]

Wait, you regained it without its seal?

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!

Phone

[adropofjupiter]

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

[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.

[ex_bloomnobly385]

It seems so.

[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...

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?

[adropofjupiter]

...or you could just dial her directly, ze. Or is that too advanced for an ancient ghost?

And yeah, I'm mostly well. Why do you need Reimu?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

I don't know her number.

I don't need Reimu specifically, but the Saigyou Ayakashi suddenly appeared in my garden and I have the sneaking suspicion it came unsealed.

[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.

[adropofjupiter]

...how do you not know if it's sealed or not?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

I found my husband dead underneath it, it might have been a coincidence though.

[adropofjupiter]

I doubt that.

I can just blow the tree up, ze.

[godlyreigns]

[She's silent juuuuust for a moment. A killer tree shouldn't really have been shocking, but she was still a bit dumbfounded.]

...ah.

[Rider liked her. She seemed nice, a bit silly, but well-intentioned. If it was possible, she'd like to be able to help with this damn tree, but if it actually had the power to kill people...]

Was this body resting underneath it the seal?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

You shouldn't go around destroying peoples things so recklessly.

If I can reseal it there shouldn't be a problem.
