Out Of Breath: Chapter 3 Is Up (28 October)

Inspired by the TARC thread "What if the Great Hakurei Barrier was never put up?"

And for the first time, I'm being a little braver and writing this as I post it. No outlines, no idea what happens next, just writing as I go. I hope you enjoy it.

EDIT: Just realized it's a full moon today, too!

I now demand that someone draw Kaguya and Eirin sitting at Denny's. Bonus points for their usual outfits, but not required.

well, the premise is interesting enough, and you already managed to get me interested with the mental image of their little apartment. Always liked the Contemporary tag over the booru.

Beautifully sad.
I have...a terrible need...shall I say the word?...of religion. Then I go out at night and paint the stars.

[11:10]   <Jana>   The mere idea of Eirin and Kaguya eating at Denny's appeals to me greatly for some reason. :)

And, of course, that I'm looking forward to more. :>

(Heh, I switch to planning and you switch to publishing as you go.)

A great start as others have said.  Once again I see a lot of potential here for all sorts of interactions.  Especially given the players that can enter the field.

Thanks for the encouragement, guys. It's a lot of fun going without an outline. I don't know where Kaguya and Eirin are. I know who will show up. But that's about it.

I love how you pull off first-person narrative, that's really something else man. Very good.

I especially like the concept of Kaguya dozing off while floating around.

So the premise behind this story isn't 'After Gensokyo's barrier dissolved/Kaguya and Eirin leave Gensokyo', but rather 'Kaguya and Eirin never went to Gensokyo to begin with'?

Ah, well. I can dig it.

Yeah, this is going on the premise that the Hakurei Barrier never went up; how the Lunarian cast and related characters would manage.

I thought the idea was "nobody was ever in Gensokyo to begin with"...?

But don't let that stop you from having your own interpretations. The more the merrier!

Oh of course.  Reisen.  How could I have forgotten.  I guess I just associated her with Gensoukyo.

And it seems like the group unconcious has moon invasion on the mind.  :)  I look forward to seeing yours, no matter how it pans out.

Reisen's story always interested me, conscientious objector that she is.
