Tentatively considering Holly Heights for next month...?

[eternalscarlet]

Oh, what a cute human... I'm not hungry right now, though.

[She leans forward, resting her chin on her knuckles.]

What? You want games... But I don't need any more of those. I can play anything, whenever I want to. So? Go on!

[Her red-painted claws flash as she waves her hand impatiently.]

If I could go out in daylight...? Of course, I'd throw parties that would be much better than the flower viewings at that shabby shrine, but you're thinking too small... Try outside of the parasol, why don't you?

[...

Yawn.]

I'm the leader of a much grander household than that, why should I want anyone to tell me what to do? And without those nuisances around, I think things will be much better around here.

[ Remilia might have noticed, she's already got a certain maid filling a cup of her favorite tea, setting out some snacks on a tray beside it.

It's not like she's being spoken to, Sakuya stays quiet, not wanting to intrude. ]

[eternalscarlet]

[She grabs a snack, nibbling it thoughtfully, so she's obviously noticed the food. Whether or not she's noticed the maid, on the other hand...

Well, yes, of course she has.]

Some people are just too much, aren't they? I've got everything I need, unless there's something else you can think of.

[maid_chou]

[ Sakuya is happy being here, with her Mistress, without even needing to be a part of the conversation. Being by her Mistress's side is all that matters to a dedicated maid. ]

You will be without your powers for a while, if you do go there, ojousama. No flying, no danmaku. You will have to try not and cause too many fights.

[eternalscarlet]

[That's as it should be, of course, and a large part of why Sakuya's employment is so stable - that, and the fact that Remilia knows the maid's words will be reliable when she needs them.]

That's an interesting form of incentive...

[She flexes her claws absentmindedly.]

A real challenge, is that what you mean?

[Of course it's not, but she can't help it.]

[maid_chou]

[ A bit of a sigh, though Sakuya has a warm smile on her face. A happy Remilia, even for the wrong reasons, is perfectly fine with her. ]

You'll have Reimu there with you as well, so you can always rely on her if you need anything.

[ Putting Remilia's well being on Reimu? Nope, not Sakuya she'd never do that. ]

I apologize, but I won't be able to follow you there. Where I am is...not a place a lady of your stature should be forced to live.

oh lord I'm sorry about this

[eternalscarlet]

Rely on that shrine maiden? You should know better than to underestimate me like that.

[The reprimand has just a hint of steel in it, but she chuckles. She knows that Sakuya only speaks from devotion, and isn't likely to be entirely serious, but she doesn't appreciate the insinuation.

She arches an eyebrow at that remark, turning to fix Sakuya more firmly with a red stare.]

But a servant of a lady of my stature is there.

hahaha

[maid_chou]

[ At that reprimand, Sakuya simply bows her head in apology. ]

I'm sorry, ojousama. I shouldn't have said that.

[ Sakuya takes it in stride. She sometimes oversteps her bounds, treating her Mistress like a child. But she knows that Remilia wouldn't hold it against her for long. ]

No, the city I am stuck in, Ariel, is... [ She's blushing now. ] ..not for you, ojousama. [ Except, she should know, that saying that is only going to make Remilia more curious. ]

[fantasynature]

Hey, don't just call my shrine shabby in front of other people like that!

[ Jeez, how rude. ]

[eternalscarlet]

So you'd rather I lied? I thought shrine maidens would have more integrity.

[fantasynature]

It's not shabby so you wouldn't have to lie at all!

If you think my parties are so bad then don't come. The villagers don't want to come to my shrine when they think vampires are going to eat them all.

[eternalscarlet]

Not all of them. I'd only take a light snack, so I don't know what they're so worried about.

[She enjoys being feared, though, it's like a nice spice.

She flashes a winning smile.]

No matter how wealthy you are, it's bad manners to turn down a free meal, isn't it? Even if the place it comes from isn't reputable.

[fantasynature]

You can't eat the villagers, Remilia!

[ Grumble, grumble. She knows that Remilia wouldn't break the contract but that doesn't stop her from worrying. ]

I never offered a free meal. Marisa is the one that invites everyone to my shrine!

[eternalscarlet]

Such boring people would probably be bland, then...

[It's just a case of sour grapes. Not that it works that way, but she just feels the need to prod Reimu, for some entirely unwise reason.]

If that's really the case, you should just force everyone out. It's your property.

[failblazer]

Promise me you won't end up being my wife and I'll never bring up our little fight in the forest.

You'll be starting from the bottom of the social ladder though, but maybe I'll even let you work for me, if you ask nicely.

[eternalscarlet]

In the woods... Shouldn't you be begging me for that? I remember you losing that fight. But I wouldn't want to be your wife, so don't worry.

[She recalls only a certain Trial of Guts.]

Ladders are no obstacle to a lady of the night, anyhow. I'll simply fly above your head.

[failblazer]

Your maid won't be around to protect you, little girl.

[God. That didn't make you sound creepy Mokou.]

Besides, since when was the victim of assault supposed to be the one feeling guilty?

[eternalscarlet]

[Creepy is fine. Remilia's own fanged grin isn't exactly nice, either.]

I don't keep her around to protect me, I keep her around to clean up the messes of people who bothered me.

If it's a matter of how people talk, then you're the one who shouldn't want word getting out, as the loser.

[failblazer]

Guard dogs are for protection, right? Anyhow, I've lost to people far worse than a vampire and her thrall. Tell whoever you want.

And hey, with any luck you'll end up married to a vampire hunter.

[eternalscarlet]

Oh? I can make you take that back. As many times as I want, for you.

[Of course, that particular threat is pretty empty. Any, she tilts her head onto her hand quizzically, already moving on.]

And I'm sure I'll pass on getting married. Why do you keep bringing that up?

[ooc: I'm thinking she'd be in a child/teen position, unless I've misread something about it needing to be based on the numerical age. Her age is probably sort of complicated as it relates to her mentality, but she looks young, and I think it'll be even more... fun for her.]

[stardustreverie]

So even the mighty Vampire can't resist the call of family life.

[Yup, she's going to tease and be a pain. what else is new?]

[eternalscarlet]

[She sniffs.]

And it seems like the cocky witch still can't resist the urge to open her mouth... I wonder who this will turn out worse for.

[stardustreverie]

Seein' as if ya go there I already have some stuff back? I think I have the edge this time ze~

[eternalscarlet]

[She does not like the sound of that one bit. The idea of the human having an "edge" even if she's already been beaten once before is about as appealing as a meal of soybeans.]

Oh? It's rude to pick on people.

[stardustreverie]

I won't do anythin' unless you do somethin'. I'm busy as it is there dealin' with stuff with Reimu and workin' with Nue.

[That last part is a lie..She works FOR Nue]

[eternalscarlet]

Likewise, then.

[She nods firmly, as if that settles the matter.]

The shrine maiden is your problem, thankfully, so I'll let you keep her occupied. But didn't this Nue... thing... cause a problem not too long ago?

[She's only had secondhand accounts of Nue, but she sounds strange, even by the standards in Gensokyo, so she's interested.]
