I can`t leave right now since i don`t know if Kilga would like us to discuss something else with Meira, yet i have no good ideas as to what to discuss with her about at the moment.
If anyone comes up with something feel free to try, i think i`ve hit my miss limit for now.

At Anime Boston, rather distracted. Sorry.

Shouldn't we apologies for the fact that she was manipulated by one of our followers?

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2016, 03:25:02 AM »

She wasn't manipulated.

Actually, she was kinda the one manipulating Seiga, if take a closer look.

Wait, really? Can you show me where it suggests that was the case?

If I'm not mistaken, they were trying to manipulate each other. Seiga was trying to use Meira to get back into Miko's good graces (basically by having her conquer Gensokyo and then pledge allegience to Miko) and Meira was using Seiga to actually get back into power.

Although there's 14 threads now, so my memory is sketchy, at best.

I hate how on the phone it sometimes eats my inputs, then the posts have a word missing usually.
