> Nazrin: Return home.
After finishing your first delivery, you return home to the MYOUREN TEMPLE. Your next destination is near the SCARLET DEVIL MANSION, which you make frequent deliveries to, so you've set up a bit of a SHORTCUT in the backyard.
You remember to lock up the gunpowder afterwards (don't want those pesky taoists getting into it), and make sure the angle of the cannon is accurate. Nue decided to prank you once by aiming it into the waterfall on Youkai Mountain. You got her back by having your mice tie her up in her sleep and fire her into the Hakurei Shrine, and you haven't had any trouble since, but you double-check just to be safe.
> ACT 1 PART 2
> Be Lyrica.
You are LYRICA PRISMRIVER, THE POLTERGEIST KEYBOARDIST. You are a musician who lives in the PRISMRIVER MANSION along with your sisters, LUNASA and MERLIN. Well, to be more precise, the three of you are poltergeists created by the late LAYLA PRISMRIVER to resemble her three human sisters, so you're not actually related by blood (you don't even have blood, for that matter). All of the originals are probably dead by now, though, so as far as you're concerned, you're the genuine article.
You have the ABILITY TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT REMOTELY WITHOUT TOUCHING IT, an ability that your sisters also share. Although it sounds useless on paper, your style of danmaku involves manipulating the opponent into misjudging your attacks based on the rhythm of your music.
You, Lunasa, and Merlin usually perform together as a band called THE PRISMRIVER ENSEMBLE, and up until recently you were easily the most popular act in Gensokyo. There's been a lot of challengers popping up lately, though; Mystia Lorelei, Yamame Kurodani, and particularly the Tsukumo sisters have been taking Gensokyo by storm since they popped up.
This lead the three of you to decide you needed to explore some new sounds to keep up with the times. As such, you've temporarily broken up to pursue solo projects.
You've started a career as a RAPPER known as the NOTORIOUS LY-PRI after being inspired by the stylings of DJ KISSY MAY. It takes some real guts since a lot of the artform involves improvisation, but you're pretty good at it. You're selling pretty well in the underground, where the Gensokyo rap scene started, but you haven't broken out on the surface just yet.
Merlin is bringing back DISCO, combining her singing with smooth moves as her trumpet plays backup. Her albums are the most popular out of the three of you in the coveted Human Village demographic; AS USUAL, Merlin is the best at everything without even trying. Grr.
Finally, Lunasa has gotten into FOLK METAL. Ever the tryhard, she's learned to play the electric guitar and her violin simultaneously. She sings too, but not particularly well; fortunately, it doesn't seem to be a prerequisite for the genre. She's popular with weirdos, same as before.
In any case, today is the day you get a new weapon in your arsenal! You've ordered a brand new SYNTHESIZER from Kourindou that should have a lot more flexibility in laying down beats than your current keyboard. It should show up sometime today. Look how many buttons and knobs it has! You can't wait to find out what they do!
You would've liked to have gotten some bigger speakers for some more powerful bass while you were at it, but you aren't certain this old mansion could handle it. The place is kind of falling apart.
You're too excited about it to leave the mansion until it shows up. What will you do in the meantime?
