>"Kazuo?" Reimu raised an eyebrow, questioning her statement, the she raised her eyes to said individual. "Eh...Who're you?"
>Kazuo is silent, his expression neutral, neither cold not content. He carefully removed his arm from beneath your legs, slowly lowering your feet to the ground. It seems you can walk again.
>"A simple human" He says with a identically neutral smile.
>"A human?" Reimu makes an unsure expression. "Only fairies and youkai live in the forests behind the shrine" She says bluntly.
>Kazuo's smile flickers with a hint of some other emotion. "Be assured, shrine maiden, I am neither"
>Reimu frowns. "W-well then, the donation box is around front" She says as she scratches her head, averting her gaze slightly. Her voice sounds slightly uneasy. Without another word, she turns and heads back into the shrine, muttering something to herself.
>After a moment of silence Kazuo turns to you with a genuine smile. "Well? Shall we keep going?"

((Feel free to interject? was that the word? oh well, just feel free to add things in during the events that unfold above. Time is only a relative concept in RPs really))

> "A-ah. Sure..."
> That was odd.

>Kazuo smiles and leads you around to the front of the shrine.
>You wonder about what had happened, but you couldn't draw any conclusions, so you shrug it off and follow Kazuo as he continues down the shrine's stairs.
>You gaze around at the forest. Something seems...odd about it.

> "Does something feel off to you?"

Sonae · « **Reply #124 on:** October 18, 2011, 01:04:06 AM »

>Kazuo comes to a stop, releasing a sigh under his breath.
>"I know you're there." He says aloud.

Kasu · « **Reply #125 on:** October 18, 2011, 08:33:09 PM »

> "Eh?"

Sonae · « **Reply #126 on:** October 18, 2011, 09:53:08 PM »

>You stop in your tracks, not quite understanding what's going on.
>You hear a small 'eep!' from the forest, but when you turn to look you don't see anything there.
>As you turn your attention back to Kazuo, your surroundings seem to waver before transforming into a long cleared path. Wait. Weren't you just coming down the stairs?

Kasu · « **Reply #127 on:** October 18, 2011, 10:07:17 PM »

> Head tilt.
> "E-ehhhhh?"

Sonae · « **Reply #128 on:** October 19, 2011, 12:54:20 AM »

>Kazuo turns to you and smiles
>"No worries, they're gone" He says reassuringly.
>He turns and starts heading down the road that leads to the village

Kasu · « **Reply #129 on:** October 19, 2011, 01:04:17 AM »

> Keep looking for a moment, then catch up to Kazuo.

Sonae · « **Reply #130 on:** October 19, 2011, 01:13:31 AM »

>You take one last look at the forests then catch up to Kazuo.

>As the two of you walk along the path you come to a wide clearing. Ahead you see a large gate bordered by walls.

Kasu · « **Reply #131 on:** October 19, 2011, 03:11:22 PM »

> "Wow... Where are we?"

Sonae · « **Reply #132 on:** October 19, 2011, 04:19:35 PM »

>You gaze at the gate in awe.
>Before you can ask your question, Kazuo turns to you with a smile and speaks.
>"We're here"

Kasu · « **Reply #133 on:** October 19, 2011, 07:26:55 PM »

> Smile back and follow.

Sonae · « **Reply #134 on:** October 20, 2011, 12:37:28 AM »

>You smile back in response.
>Kazuo turns, still smiling and begins walking into the village.
>People are on the streets, going about their business, talking, or just wasting time. Children run around, playing some sort of game. You see a few people that don't quite look like humans.

Kasu · « **Reply #135 on:** October 20, 2011, 12:54:15 AM »

> Look around. We've obviously seen a lot of people in one place before, but the nonhuman ones are interesting!

Sonae · « **Reply #136 on:** October 20, 2011, 01:55:28 AM »

>Your attention is naturally drawn to the non-humans. Huh...Human and youkai getting along... You remember back in your village, isolated in the mountains. ...This will be alot different than Anan...
>"Well well, looked who crawled out from underneath their rock..."

Kasu · « **Reply #137 on:** October 20, 2011, 09:52:30 PM »

> Look towards the voice.

Sonae · « **Reply #138 on:** October 20, 2011, 10:50:05 PM »

>You turn around to see a blue haired woman standing there with her arms crossed. Her expression is neutral.
>She looks at you but doesn't say anything, averting her gaze back to Kazuo

Kasu · « **Reply #139 on:** October 20, 2011, 11:00:25 PM »

> Watch how Kazuo reacts.

Sonae · « **Reply #140 on:** October 21, 2011, 11:04:31 AM »

>You turn your gaze to Kazuo
>His expression becomes complicated. His eyes lower for a moment, taking on a hint of some sad emotion.
>As he takes a deep breath, he raises his eyes and manages a fake smile. "Hey Keine" He says.
>The woman shifts her position a bit, a small frown on her face.
>"What are you doing back here? Thought you weren't going to come back any time soon"
>"Well..." Kazuo starts, pausing for a moment. "This girl, I wanted to bring her to see you" He says gesturing to you.

Kasu · « **Reply #141 on:** October 21, 2011, 01:56:04 PM »

> "A-ah. I'm Satsuki Rin."
> Bow.

Sonae · « **Reply #142 on:** October 21, 2011, 07:10:12 PM »

>"Ah, I'm Keine Kamishirasawa" The blue haired woman says with a bow. "So what's your business here?"

Yonowaaru · « **Reply #143 on:** October 21, 2011, 08:42:26 PM »

>"Eeh, well, about that"
>Explain how we don't actually have any clue what's going on here.

Sonae · « **Reply #144 on:** October 22, 2011, 01:39:00 AM »

>"U-um...I'm not really so sure myself..." You say with a weak laugh.
>Keine's frown deepens. "I hope you didn't just come here to bide your time" She says, slightly irritated.
>"Ah, she's lost her memory" Kazuo says, stepping forward with a smile.
>Keine gives the man a puzzling look then contemplates it.
>"But what does that have to do with me?"
>"Have you ever heard of a town called Anan?" You ask with a friendly smile.
>"Anan..." The woman repeats, thinking deeply.
>You feel your heart drop a bit. "What about Nagano?"
>Keine nods almost immediately. "Now that I do know of. Which are you interested in? The prefecture or the city?"
>You shake your head and let out a sigh of relief. "So we're still in Japan, that's good"
>Keine looks at you oddly. "What makes you think you weren't?"
>Kazuo averts his eyes and manages a weak laugh.
>Keine shoots him a glare.
>"W-well we should probably get going..." Kazuo says.
>"Hey! Don't think you can escape just like that. Have you been taking care of yourself properly?" She asks him sharply.
>"Yes yes" He says with a laugh. "I'm only human after all"
>Keine seems to pout for a moment but it vanishes. "So, did you need anything else?" Keine asks, turning to you.

Kasu · « **Reply #145 on:** October 22, 2011, 02:07:36 PM »

> "Well... Do you know how far Nagano is from here?"

Sonae · « **Reply #146 on:** October 22, 2011, 03:06:42 PM »

>Keine looks at you strangely. She opens her mouth to speak but stops. Her frown deepens. "Are you from the outside?" She asks hesitantly.

Kasu · « **Reply #147 on:** October 22, 2011, 05:06:00 PM »

> Headtilt.
> "Outside?"

Sonae · « **Reply #148 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:38:11 PM »

>You give the woman a confused look and question her question.
>She frowns and sighs. "Gensokyo is seperated from the outside world by the Great Hakurei Border"

Kasu · « **Reply #149 on:** October 22, 2011, 06:49:41 PM »

> "So... This is Gensokyo... and I can't get back home?"
