>You are Maribel Hearn, and the world is wrong. Or rather, you're in the wrong world! Well, it's not wrong anymore.
>Having woken up in a strange room, you've discovered you are in the middle of a world called Gensokyo, and you've finally discovered another world that you've always knew existed.
>You grew up in Japan, living a fairly normal life. Still, you always had a strong instinct that there was more to the world than you could see. You studied psychology in college, and met your best friend there, a woman named Renko. The two of you shared a passion for the supernatural (extranormal, Renko called it, to make it sound more legitimate). In pursuing that passion, the two of you followed your instincts and moved to small island nation called Gensokyo. From there, then memories of the past half year fuzzy. You remember running a modestly successful detective agency and numerous attempts to find supernatural activity. You remember a woman named Utsuho being a prominent influence on your life in the last few days before you woke up here, but you can't remember a lot about it. You remember, though, that she helped you prove the supernatural exists beyond the shadow of a doubt!
>You have been wandering throughout Gensokyo! You've learned some of the basics of flight, danmaku, time-stopping and barrier magic, and you're on cloud nine! Utsuho and Yuugi are in a doomed rivalry for Parsee's love, you have nudged them toward polyamory, and into a kind of peace. You visited Komachi and got her back to work on Reimu's behalf! You have assisted Murasa at the underground clinic on Byakuren's behalf, which involved cleaning up vomit buckets and dealing with a racist old oni. Byakuren has agreed to consider enhancing your natural magical abilities if you gather the necessary ingredients. You have planted flowers for Yuka! You have discovered where all the maids at Scarlet Devil Mansion have gone! You've been chased by a mob of faeries! You have befriend Tokiko, and helped her get used to society and not eating animals raw. You have engaged in a few fact finding missions on Utsuho's behalf. You have found, bickered with, worried over, and slept with Renko Usami. You have earned the enmity of Alice Margatroid, and then beat her up. You have begun trying to fulfill Sanae's dream, and healing the rift between Utsuho and Kanako. You've had a frightening trip into Hakugyokuro! You are having a serious internal debate over whether or not to seek out becoming a youkai. You've met Yukari, and gotten a very indecent proposal. You have quietly helped and supported Renko in invading Scarlet Devil Mansion. You are now
technically a homeowner!
>You are now conversing with Renko outside your new home, standing by a bonfire while group of faeries clean up inside.
> Nod.
> "Say, have any of the faeries acquired a set of bellows recently? There's a blacksmith in the village that's missing some."
>"Actually, yeah," says Renko. "There was a group of 'em that like to hang around in the northeastern forest that had a set, from what Daiyousei told me. She got them to join up with us last night. They probably left it behind."
> "I would have actually thought your original outfit of however-many years would be the one of sentimental value, though. You really want nothing to do with our former lives anymore, do you?"
>"I've got no real use for it, anymore. I burned all my bridges coming to the island to begin with. And since it's gone..."
>She shrugs.
>"I'd rather look forward, anyways."
