[Phone]

Okay, I can't remember all your addresses, but who of us from Gensokyo have enough back to put up a good danmaku fight? With Mokou gone, I need to find an alternative.



[A: Action - Grocery Store]

[Marisa is pushing a cart around the grocery store filling it up with random food stuffs. There's literally no rhyme or pattern to what she's picking out, making it nearly impossible to figure out what she's planning to cook. Or for how many people.]



[B: Action - Church]

[Marisa is sitting in the second pew from the front with her boots resting on the back of the one in front of her. Looking bored, she tosses a star bullet repeatedly up into the air and catches just as one would a ball. Eventually, she'd be approached...]

Comments

[adropofjupiter]

[Headpat is appreciated]

Maybe if she told me stuff instead of not, we'd get along better.

[splitthebaby]

She doesn't tell you because she doesn't want your sympathy or your understanding. Just your trust.

[adropofjupiter]

Trust doesn't come without knowledge, ze. I don't blindly trust people.

[splitthebaby]

Her actions aren't enough for you?

[adropofjupiter]

Her actions have made her earn a lot of trust. But not complete trust when I know I've been lied too. And I'd like to think maybe she'd trust me to tell me some stuff.

For the gods, sake, I know her name. I took care of her when she was a vulnerable blob of peasant.

[splitthebaby]

I'm afraid I can't help you there.

[adropofjupiter]

I'm just frustrated.

But you're comfy, ze.

[splitthebaby]

I'm a rat and an old man. [That's not a comfy mix.]

[adropofjupiter]

So?

[splitthebaby]

Those generally don't mix together to mean comfortable.

[adropofjupiter]

They do right now.

[splitthebaby]

If you insist.

[adropofjupiter]

I do.

[Meaning, she totally missed the Rat King. And everyone else.]

[splitthebaby]

[Humans.]

Perhaps you should learn to speak with animals. Then you would never be alone.

[adropofjupiter]

I guess I could work on a spell that lets me do that. Can I have a couple hairs as reagents?

[splitthebaby]

You have the nerve to ask the King of Rats for hair?

[He chuckles, just joking. But he has to put on a display or the other rats will make fun of him!!]

[adropofjupiter]

Yup, I do. [She grins.] Cause I can't imagine any more powerful of a reagent for this kind of research.

[there, she's helping. sorta]

[splitthebaby]

Sit up and hold out your hand.

[adropofjupiter]

[The witch does as told, looking in a better mood than earlier.]

[splitthebaby]

[He quickly changes into a rat and hops up onto her hand. THERE EASY.]

[adropofjupiter]

[She gives him a little scritch behind the ears before gently plucking out a few hairs. She sets him on her leg while she fishes out a vial to put the hairs securely into.]

Thanks, ze. Oh, I went shopping earlier, so there's fresh cheese at home. I'll set some aside for you before I feed Tsuchinoko.

[splitthebaby]

That may have to wait. The things I said here today will make me have to lay low for a short while.

[adropofjupiter]

Want me to put some in my room then? No one goes into my room but me. You can meet Tsuchinoko.

[Cause it's a giant mess and has lots of creepy looking magic stuff written all over the walls from when she was cursed by the Postman and went more insane than normal.]

[splitthebaby]

I'll...pass on that too.

[adropofjupiter]

...he's in a cage.

[Marisa gets grumbly about people not wanting to see her pet. AT LEAST ARC FINDS HIM TO BE THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER]
