>After a while, Shinki allowed you to keep it for yourself, and you knew that you would need all the help you could get against the four that came from Gensokyo. But after it still failed in your first fight against Marisa, followed by a lesson about the spellcard system and a gracious invitation to try again - plus later attempts at theft, you ultimately swore to yourself not to use its full power outside of the worst life-threatening conditions, and sealed away most of the power in it. You sincerely hope that you'll never encounter a situation where you would have to consider it.

>Byakuren shakes her head. "They have assumed many strange things, but it can be amazing how much truth there is hidden among it all. The 'Touhou' games about the major Incidents here are the root of their knowledge, and what they know from those is eerily accurate. And sometimes, their speculation beyond that proves true as well." She smiles a little. "But, I am cautious enough to ask those that would really know before jumping to conclusions."
Hello Purvis:
>"I do not consider their invasion or privacy to be amazing so much as another reason to send them back at once."

>"These are not mutually exclusive."
>Byakuren shakes her head again. "Before arriving, the outworlders had no reason to believe it was a matter of privacy: In their world, Gensokyo and its inhabitants are presented as, and thought to be, fictional." She frowns for a moment. "... even if I am not fond of many of the ways that such celebrity status has been used, I sincerely doubt that it was malicious, and as far as their world knew, it was a victimless crime in any case."
>"I do admit that many of them have difficulty adjusting to such a large change at first, but they do learn. And part of what we've been doing at the temple is helping to teach them the realities of Gensokyo, and proper behavior for meeting with people that they think they know, but really don't." She smiles. "Though, I am always pleased at how rarely they fear youkai for being youkai."
