Prime:
>"I guess. Wait, a couple of strangers just showed up and offered to go instead--aaaand she just sat back down... I-Is she really considering sending them instead?"
Contingency:
>On second thought attempting to breach the barrier is probably a bad idea, especially when we're trying to prove to certain parties that we're not a threat.
>Cease looking for such plants or obstacles.
>Might as well experiment while we're looking.
>As we keep looking around, find a small animal, even an insect would work. But do not harm it, and be certain it isn't a youkai.
//I meant the barrier surrounding the bamboo forest. I wasn't try to get out of Gensokyo
Prime:
>"I think the green haired lady was a spirit if the strangers are to be believed."
>Put on the shadow sun hat that we threw
>In the forest of the lost look for any plants growing in 'barrier'.
>Try to have our shadow sneak through the barrier through the plant
//Ah, my mistake. I mean, it was also kinda confusing since Neo put the barrier plant action with what seemed to be Contingency's actions.
//EDIT:
>Don't say this.
//iirc we only mentioned that Sendai was there earlier, and made no indications to either Reimu or Marisa that we talked with anybody else during that initial period, and this would be an inopportune time to have Reimu question us since the stranger danger duo is present.
// I originally misread it as a barrier but then reworded it to a curse as it's generic enough to encompass anything that hinders entry into the forest
Contingency:
> Does the world beyond the barrier look or feel real? Or does it feel more like an elaborate 'painting'/illusion to make the barrier invisible?
> Goes without saying don't touch it or further interact with it as we don't want to weaken or crack it.
//No disapprovals. But also no approvals either. Or rather, acknowledgement at all.
> You keep watching.
> "Now then, it's about this youkai and what happened while the darkness surrounded your shrine." The man speaks.
> "Rumia came by..." Reimu looks up in thought. "I guess yesterday, offered her time to me in exchange for removing her ribbon, and I did just that. I kinda ended up dozing off, I think, and then woke up for today. I never saw any darkness surrounding my shrine."
> "Yesterday? The darkness was still there that entire day. You must be lying." The horned woman squints.
> "It was longer than a day. But it seems you don't know anything else." The man sighs. "We'll have to ask someone else."
> "Oh, that's it? Will you still be going in my place to the Bamboo Forest?" Reimu questions.
> "Yes."
> "Nice." Reimu smiles, relaxed.
> "That still means this youkai could be a problem."
> "Rumia? She's nothing to worry about. She won't even eat a human if they tell her she can't."
> "You really are still young and naïve." The man shakes his head.
> "Remind me why we let her through out gate before?" The woman questions.
> "She had what she needed to handle herself enough at the time. We wouldn't get anything from testing her again either, as there's other that want her to do her specific job, however poorly she may do."
> "Strangers huh? She practically wants to hibernate. Why don't we just go carry her here ourselves?" Marisa suggests.
> You put your hat back on.
> You try to have your shadows sneak into that of the plants deeper within the bamboo forest.
> But they never manage to reach any...
> You can't tell if there are any inbetween either. It's hard finding where the cutoff for whatever this is, is, and if there are even any shadows directly on it.
> The area towards the border still looks like the plains you are on now. You believe you had a way to get through the border, but there wasn't much reason to do such most of the time, and it was worth more trouble than not. Most of the time. You don't want to sneak a snack from the Outside World right now, at least.
> There is an animal far off in the distance. You think it's a... cat. Single tail, too.
