[Kilgamayan]

> Stare in shock.
> "I...I don't know! What on Earth is going on? Why are you...?!?"
> Gesture up and down at her.

[Hello Purvis]

> Stare in shock.
> "I...I don't know! What on Earth is going on? Why are you...?!?"
> Gesture up and down at her.

>"What do you mean, why am I?" Reimu says, scowling. "Where have you been?! It's been...ugh, I'd have to add it up! Centuries at least!"
>"What's going on, Mino?" Kaori says.
>"Let's just leave them to hash this out, child," Minoriko says, as she moves away from the door.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I to-"
> Double take.
> "Centuries?!? What the hell are you talking about? I was just home a few hours ago, trying to deal with the explosion in the library!"

[Monarda]

>"And where is the Mansion ? Why nobody here knows anything about ? What happened while i was away ?"
>Hold our forehead.
>"This is so confusing .... why did that happen..... ?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "I to-"
> Double take.
> "Centuries?!? What the hell are you talking about? I was just home a few hours ago, trying to deal with the explosion in the library!"

>"What? No you haven't!" says Reimu. "You've been gone for ages and ages! I wouldn't have even remembered you if you didn't have that uniform on!"
>"Are they about to fight?" Kaori says to Minoriko.
>"Shhh..."

>"And where is the Mansion ? Why nobody here knows anything about ? What happened while i was away ?"
>Hold our forehead.
>"This is so confusing .... why did that happen..... ?"

>"It's been gone for ages!" says Reimu. "Everything happened! Where even were you?!"
>"Honey, don't you think you should be a bit less harsh?" Minoriko says.
>Reimu sighs. "I don't know, maybe?" She sighs again. "What are you even doing here now...Sakuya, right? It is Sakuya, isn't it?"
>"Go get her something to sit on, Kaori," Minoriko says to the shrine maiden.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Stiffen.
> Taken on a quiet voice.
> "...It's...gone...?"

[Monarda]

>"And what about Eientei ? Or Youkai Mountain ? Or the Moriya Shrine ? Or the Yakumos ?"
>How are we feeling ?
>"So i have travelled this far into the future somehow ?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Stiffen.
> Taken on a quiet voice.
> "...It's...gone...?"

>Kaori disappears into the shrine.
>Reimu grimaces, then nods. "Yeah, it's been gone for...ugh, at least five hundred years now. I mean, it had been on the decline for a long time before that, so it's not like there was some sudden disaster. I don't even think I learned about it until a a while afterward."

>"And what about Eientei ? Or Youkai Mountain ? Or the Moriya Shrine ? Or the Yakumos ?"
>How are we feeling ?
>"So i have travelled this far into the future somehow ?"

>"That's a mouthful to go through," says Reimu. "I...think Eientei's still there? You don't hear about it anymore, though."
>How are you feeling?
>Reimu just shrugs.
>Kaori hustles out with a chair in hand, almost failing to duck under the doorframe in time. She approaches you with it and says, "Here, have a seat?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Thank you."
> Have a seat, then look at Reimu again.
> "What about Mistress and...are any of them still...?"

[Monarda]

>"What about Miss Keine ? Did she........ survive ? How about Mokou ?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Well, realistically, Keine's probably...gone...regardless if it's really been several centuries, and Mokou's probably still around because she literally can't die.

[Hello Purvis]

> "...Thank you."
> Have a seat, then look at Reimu again.
> "What about Mistress and...are any of them still...?"

>"I'm not sure about all of them," says Reimu, "But I think at least one's still hanging around. Or at least she was last time I heard about her, which was...awhile ago, honestly. But I'm sure she's still fine!"
>Kaori moves to Minoriko's side; the harvest goddess seems to be trying give you too space.

>"What about Miss Keine ? Did she........ survive ? How about Mokou ?"

> Well, realistically, Keine's probably...gone...regardless if it's really been several centuries, and Mokou's probably still around because she literally can't die.

>You can't imagine Keine would still be alive, if it's really been centuries. Mokou, though...surely she's still kicking?

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Where is she?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Where is she?"

>"She's..." Reimu frowns. "Right, sorry. If I recall correctly, she's staying at the...oh, what did they used to call it... The Myouren Temple. It's the Hijiri Temple these days, though. Ought to be where it always is. One of the oldest buildings in town."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod slowly.
> "I see..."
> Frown slightly.
> "...Come to think of it, how are you still around? Is it related to the fact that you don't quite seem human anymore?"

[Monarda]

You`re so nimble ! What`s the secret ? Almost every time you block a post of mine. 

[Kilgamayan]

I eat my Booty-O's cereal every morning.

Booty-O's! They make sure you ain't booty!

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod slowly.
> "I see..."
> Frown slightly.
> "...Come to think of it, how are you still around? Is it related to the fact that you don't quite seem human anymore?"

>Reimu chuckles. "I was wondering when you were going to ask! Well, I guess the short version is I sort of became a goddess after awhile."

>_

[Monarda]

>"And about the shrine... it`s definitely more wellkept than before, i`m guessing you finally started getting the number of donations you deserved ?"
>Give her a curious look.
>"What kind of goddess exactly, may i ask ?"

YES !

[the old guy]

>"And where, or should i say, when, did that Sir Kay guy come from?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"And about the shrine... it`s definitely more wellkept than before, i`m guessing you finally started getting the number of donations you deserved ?"
>Give her a curious look.
>"What kind of goddess exactly, may i ask ?"

>"Deserved is right," says Reimu, as Minoriko chuckle. She makes her way to the main shrine's porch and has a seat behind Minoriko, putting her hand on top of the Harvest Goddess' hand.
>"Anyways, I'm the goddess who blesses those that protect Gensokyo, and those who seek victory against overwhelming odds," says Reimu.
>"Heroes, really," Minoriko says. "But you'd be surprised how many students we get when they have a big exam coming up!"
>Kaori just seems to be listening now, having taken a seat a respectable distance away.

>"And where, or should i say, when, did that Sir Kay guy come from?"

>"Sir Kay?" says Reimu. "Oh! The foreigner with his nose up in the air and a barb in everything he says? He showed up a few years ago from Avalon. I think they have a little village out there now?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> What do we know about Reimu's sexuality?
> What do we know about Avalon, particularly in relation to Patchouli?

[Hello Purvis]

> What do we know about Reimu's sexuality?
> What do we know about Avalon, particularly in relation to Patchouli?

>You've never cared.
>You heard of it, maybe? You think Patchouli once got a hot sauce from there. Heaven knows she goes through enough of the stuff...

>_

[the old guy]

" What about Marisa, or Alice, or the Moriyas, what happened to them?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Give a slight smile.
> "Well...if I've really been cast so far into the future, getting back to when I belong sounds like pretty overwhelming odds to me."
> Then drop it.
> "Very well, I suppose I should tell you what I know. I was outside the mansion, speaking with a mermaid that had recently moved to the lake, when there was an explosion in the library. Upon re-entering the mansion, I found Patchouli had been retrieved unconscious, but Keine, who was also in there, was not accounted for. Meiling and I scoured the library as best we could through the smoke, and I eventually did find a piece of blue fabric buried in a pile of books. A shelf was about to fall on the pile, so I stopped time to remove all the books and get Keine out of the way before it was too late, but...the pressure got worse and worse, and I blacked out."
> Wave our arm in the general direction of where we came from.
> "I awoke in the middle of some forest out there somewhere, apparently fairly close to this Avalon, with everything I had in my possession at the time except for my pocketwatch. A search of the nearby forest proved fruitless. I have no idea what has happened to it."

>"Hey, sounds worthy of a blessing to me," Reimu says.
>"Ooooh, riiiight!" Reimu says as you explain what happened. "Wow, I remember that. Yeah, that is about the time you vanished, wasn't it? I remember now. Oh heaven, Keine. There's a name I've not heard in ages."
>"Who is that, Lady Hakurei?" says Kaori.
>"She's the old Hakutaku, way before your time," Reimu says. Kaori nods, seemingly satisfied.

" What about Marisa, or Alice, or the Moriyas, what happened to them?"

>"Marisa passed on ages ago," says Reimu. She smiles kind of wistfully, you don't ever think you've seen her make that kind of expression. "Had a good, full life. Still try to visit her grave every year. As for Alice...you know, that's a good question. Haven't thought about her in a long time. Whatever did happen to her, Mino?"
>"I haven't the faintest," says Minoriko.
>Reimu nods. "Sorry. As for the Moriyas, well, that's an interesting story. But they're still around. The Moriya shrine's still there."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I could use one if you're offering."
> Purse our lips.
> "Um...how do we do this?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "I could use one if you're offering."
> Purse our lips.
> "Um...how do we do this?"

>"We'll get to it later," Reimu says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Very well. Hmm, who else am I forgetting? Ah, are Miss Toyosatomimi and her entourage still around? Or how about..."
> Look around for anything suspicious, then, assuming nothing is spotted, look back at Reimu and lower our voice.
> "...Dare I ask, the Yakumos?"

[UncertainJakutten]

>"I'd also like to hear this interesting story regarding the Moriyas"
