Homeless forever!

[colourofyearning]

Oh look at you, your whims come and go like the wind and yet again I find myself speaking to you like this. Will you actually put the effort this time into giving me a presence? Or will I forever be a tease to dance around the edges, never truly here, but not quite gone? That's rather cruel of you, isn't it?

Now since this urge has hit you again, why not embrace it fully, they say the third time is the charm.

Has it been more? Well, a small unimportant detail. Now lets visit that little dressing room, shall we? It's as good a place as any to start.

If I'm gonna be terrible, I might as well go full monty

[shi_no_tsubasa]

Home as connected to all other places, Youkai-san?

Always so evil.

[colourofyearning]

A home as in a temporary residence I assume. She seems rather reluctant to allow me extended contact with others.

Hey, it works.

[shi_no_tsubasa]

And it seems as though it will be in the land all call their home for the time being, anyway. Though as it is, connected here to this outside plane.

[She pauses, and then gives a chuckle as though she confused herself.]

Ah... but it will be nice to speak once more.

[colourofyearning]

To speak again like then... it will be nice.

[shi_no_tsubasa]

Yes, even with circumstances being as strange as they are, in that place.

[But 'seeing yourself as a ghost' is not something she's going to dwell on because Youkai-san. And Youkai-san makes life brighter.]

[colourofyearning]

It is best to let that which is too strange brush past like the wind. Focusing on it won't help and it's easier to let it go by.

[shi_no_tsubasa]

Yes. You are right, of course.

Still, for as little time as I may have there, let us enjoy it, yes?

[colourofyearning]

Little time can easily be made into greater time, but let us not think of quantity. As long as that time is enjoyable the amount will hardly be noticed.

[shi_no_tsubasa]

Right. [But that just makes her feel like it'll go by too quickly. Oh well. Any time with Yukari is time well spent.] I find myself looking forward to it.

[colourofyearning]

[Why worry about such things in a space where time, ultimately, was meaningless.]

There is much to look forward to in a place like that.

[shi_no_tsubasa]

Indeed. It is a world unlike any I thought I would ever see.

[Since her last memories are a thousand years ago and well before Gensokyo. Dohohoho.]

[colourofyearning]

It's a unique place and I'm sure you will like what it has to offer.

[shi_no_tsubasa]

Mmm, word has it that you helped in creating such a place as well. Is that true? [Gensokyo in general, rather.]

[colourofyearning]

There may be some credit to those words.

[shi_no_tsubasa]

[And her look turns... surprisingly fond.]

You really are a great and powerful youkai.

[colourofyearning]

I am what I am.

[princesstenko]

Many good things come in threes, Yukari-sama.

[colourofyearning]

Threes, nines, sevens, all good numbers to consider. Hopefully this will be a good number for me, or else I'll have to wait a bit more.

[princesstenko]

I hope as well. Especially if it can help the three of us.

[colourofyearning]

It may help someone, who that someone is on the other hand is another consideration all together.

[tsunmiko]

Your mun has found a place for you, huh?

[colourofyearning]

Not quite, but there is a place I can be thrown at without much effort or thought.

[tsunmiko]

Hmph. I bet you're being shoved into those "dressing rooms", as they call it.

[colourofyearning]

That is a place being considered, and at the very least is better than nowhere.

[tsunmiko]

Certainly better than lazing about in your mun's head.

[colourofyearning]

Your assumption wounds me Reimu, when I am not asleep I am quite productive.

[tsunmiko]

Really? Then why is it that I have to do all the work when you could be doing it?

[colourofyearning]

And if I did everything what would be left for the Hakurei Miko? I do what is needed of me, as you do your part. Would you like to trade to see just exactly what it is I do?

[tsunmiko]

Sleeping all day and doing nothing? Sounds good to me.

[ferriedmemories]

Well, I dunno that that's all bad.

[colourofyearning]

If it were by choice? No, it would be rather entertaining. However since it is a hesitance it becomes rather frustrating. But I'm sure the delinquent ferryman wouldn't understand.

[ferriedmemories]

There's nothing wrong with hesitation if the commitment's optional.

[colourofyearning]

I do not see it as option, she must either commit to me or abandon the intention.

[ferriedmemories]

Well, those sound like options to me. And it's not like his life depends on it, either.

[colourofyearning]

Though they are options neither of them are being taken at the moment.

[ferriedmemories]

Besides, dancing around the edges is a bit more like you, isn't it? Or would you rather be as far over the border as possible?

[colourofyearning]

Dancing from the edges is fine, as you said it's much more my style. However the indecision in the matter is what bothers me.
