Gensokyo Festival Day 24: Various How-To Guides

A series of how-to guides by the Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom cast, minus Junko and Hecatia, for whom I couldn’t think of anything.

Seiran's guide to military discipline:

1. Always greet your commanding officer with a cheerful "Good morning, ma'am! It's such a lovely day for violence and mayhem!", or something similar. 2. Keep your clothes clean and tidy. Make sure your dress is clean and the bright colours don't fade, and polish your cute little buckle-shoes every morning. 3. Take care of your body, too. Eat plenty of carrots, do plenty of exercise, take regular baths and shave diligently. 4. Always do as you are told. Try not to obey grudgingly or sarcastically; it'll only hurt your commanding officer's feelings. That said, if you are a commanding officer, try to be patient and understanding with your soldiers. 5. If a Lunarian insists on calling you "Flopsy" and gushing over how cute your tail is, just grin and bear it. 6. It's never the wrong time for a cup of tea and some sweet mochi. Try to coordinate tea breaks with the enemy so that no-one is placed at a disadvantage. 7. Above all else, make sure to stay positive!

Ringo's guide to being a gourmet:

1. Never be afraid to try a new food. You might not like it, but then again it may turn out to be the most delicious thing you've ever tasted, and that's worth the risk of going in blind. 2. A meal generally needs a drink to go with it. Tea is best with a fortifying meal such as breakfast or lunch, alcohol goes well with dinner, and fruit juice goes well with cold meals such as salads and sandwiches. A savoury meal should have a savoury accompaniment, such as miso soup, whereas a pudding deserves a sweet drink such as a chocolate milkshake. 3. Keep in practice by eating as much as possible. Remember: the fatter you get, the more room you'll have for food, and the longer you'll be able to survive in times of hardship. You'll also be softer, cuddlier, warmer and better at swimming, and the extra weight can help strengthen your legs. Really, skinny people are missing out on a whole lot of fun! 4. Never let cheap, industrialised food stand in for something made properly. The key ingredient in every meal is love, and it's impossible even for Lunarian science to synthesise love. (We've tried, though. Amaterasu help us...) 5. Make sure you try meals from different cultures. The amount of unique recipes, techniques and flavour combinations around the world is truly incredible! 6. For the true gourmet, every meal is a special occasion. Don't just mindlessly scoff your food down, light a few scented candles and savour every morsel of your meal. If you find yourself weeping with joy, you're doing it right. 7. If possible, try to eat with a friend. Good food is always best with good company, and talking to someone can help prolong the pleasure of a delicious meal. 8. If eating is causing you problems, change your diet. We eat in order to survive, at the end of the day, so what matters most is how good it makes you feel. 9. Say it with me, gourmands of the world: YUM YUM IN MY TUM!

Doremy's guide to sleep:

1. Make sure your bedroom is at a comfortable temperature. Ideally, the room should be slightly cool, with your blankets and stuff compensating for it. 2. Keep your bedroom airy and lightly furnished. A bunch of books and a shelf of anime figurines are nice touches; dozens of electronic devices are not. Blackout curtains are a good idea during the winter. 3. At the end of the day (pun intended!), your bedroom should be a place of sanctuary and comfort, so make sure it feels good to be there. Make sure you have a comfy bed with the sorts of pillows, quilts, blankets and cuddly toys you like. If having to get up in the morning reduces you to tears, you have the right bed-design philosophy. 4. Consider purchasing a Sweet Sleep Pillow (TM), available at any reputable furniture shop. They're so soft and snuggable, I really can't recommend them enough! 5. Have supper at least an hour before you go to bed. For the rest of that hour, try to relax as much as possible in order to get into the right frame of mind. Obsessively checking your social medias won't contribute to a restful night's sleep. 6. When the wonderful moment finally arrives, make the most of it. Snuggle up under your favourite quilt, bury your head in your favourite pillow and say "Ahhhhhhhhh...!" 7. If you don't yet have a favourite pillow, why not try a Sweet Sleep Pillow (TM)? They're available at all reputable furniture shops, and no ordinary pillow can compare. 8. Sleep cannot generally be forced. Simply clear your mind and let the magic happen. 9. While your body is resting soundly, your soul will be free to explore the Dream World. There are many wonders you can experience in a dream, but there are dangers, too. You didn't eat too much cheese for supper, did you? 10. Once you are asleep, feel free to visit the many youkai who inhabit the Dream World. If you ever happen to meet me, I can recommend some truly excellent pillows for you to try. 11. You'd be surprised by how much people need to sleep. Outside of Gensokyo, sleep deprivation is seen as cool, modern, even honourable, but it ruins your ability to think and do stuff. No matter how much you believe in yourself and how much your boss claims to value you, you need at least eight hours of sleep every day. Teenagers, believe it or not, might need ten. It may feel like you're losing valuable time, but what you gain in clear thinking and wellbeing will more than make up for it. 12. Once you've finished sleeping, try to wake up with a smile on your face and a song in your heart. It's only one day until you get to try again, after all!

Sagume's guide to public speaking without offending anybody:

1. Try not to offend anyone. 2. Try not to look like you're trying not to offend anyone, since trying not to offend anyone can offend some people. 3. I don't know... Orate casual. 4. By this method, you will be able to speak publicly without ever facing controversy from arrogant people who go around looking for arguments! 5. ...Oh, crud. Me and my big fate-altering mouth.

Clownpiece's guide to self-esteem for teenage girls:

1. Git yerself a freakin' GUN. Seriously, nothin' makes ya feel strong like the ability ta' freakin' MURDER anyone who messes with ya. 2. Learn ta' love yer body. It's yours an' yours alone, so no-one gets ta' tell you you ain't pretty. Like make-up? Rock that cherry-red lipstick, sister! Don't like make-up? Rock that totally natural face a' yours! It don't mean a hill o' beans whether ya look like a supermodel; what matters is how ya feel an' who you are on the inside. 3. If the 'rents won't let ya outside unless yer in a pretty dress, freaking KILL THEM. Don't know how? Refer back ta' the first paragraph. 4. Likewise, don't let no-one tell ya what kinda person you oughta be. Yer the best there is at bein' you; no-one else knows how ta' do it right. Sure, people can have good advice, but they don't know ya better'n you do. 5. If you got a sweetheart, great! Cherish them with alla' your heart. Don't let 'em dominate your life, though; if they wanna make you do stuff you don't like, refer to the third paragraph. 6. Don't git me wrong: Even if ya don't like guns an' slaughter, yer one hundred percent valid. They jus' make life easier is all. 7. Git yerself a hobby. Somthin' ya like doin', somethin' challenging, somethin' where yer abilities can grow, somethin' you c'n do with friends and/or somethin' you c'n make money off of are all good ideas. It don't matter what people think: video games are a great hobby, sewin’ an' bakin’ don't automatically make you a wimp, an' fishin' an' soccer won't make you a lesbian. 8. Actually, seein' a buncha' tough girls all around ya might make ya realise you ARE a lesbian. It ain't guaranteed, though. 9. Slack off in school as much as ya can get away with. If it just makes ya bored an' miserable, why bother? Yer future don't depend on academic success! 10. Above all else, don't ever give up on nothin'. You c'n run a marathon, climb a mountain, beat a Touhou game, anythin', but ya gotta try dozens of times beforehand. Sooner or later, ya could even be able ta' beat alla' my spell-cards without breakin' a sweat! Now, THAT'S a feelin' of pride an' accomplishment.

Congrats for clearing out your inbox? Would it be possible to get a continuation of that Kagome/Sango story from a while back with Sango confessing her attraction to Kagome?

Here you are, I hope you like it!

Kagome sighed when she finally sunk into the naturally heated waters of the hot spring, it had been a long day of walking and their recent battle against a stray youkai after the shards had been a particularly messy one.

“Ah, this is so much better.” she sunk down to her shoulders and let her head rest on the rocks behind her.

“…yes… it is…” the comment was oddly quiet from Sango.

Lifting her head, Kagome looked over at her friend. She was a little confused. Sango appeared rather shy, quiet, and subdued. “Everything alright, Sango-chan?”

Her friend was hesitant to nod, but she did. Though she furrowed her brows and then shook her head negatively. “I’m… I’m a little… I’m very confused.”

“Oh? About what?” Kagome divided her attention between listening to her friend and beginning to wash her hair.

“I’ve come to realize that I like someone I feel I shouldn’t.” at the silence that followed, she raised her eyes to stare at Kagome, seeing that the younger girl listening. After a few more moments, Kagome opened her mouth to say something only for Sango to speak up again, heat flooding her cheeks. “While also liking someone else at the same time.”

“Oh.” Kagome’s eyes fluttered as her gaze lowered to the water’s surface, no doubt thinking of her own situation between her, Inuyasha, and Kikyo. She finished with her hair and quickly ducked beneath.

Sango watched closely as she came back up, slicking her hair back, observing how her skin was pinked from the heated waters. “Did you tell either person that you liked them? Or do they know?”

Sango shrugged her shoulders. “One does, but the other… No. At least, not in that way.”

Kagome nodded her head once again, this time lathering up that special soap that always made her hair soft to the touch. Sango bit down on her lower lip, her fingers twitching to run through that black hair, regardless of it being wet now.

“And the one that doesn’t know, are they the one you feel you shouldn’t have feelings for?” the questions were asked in a way that allowed Sango to easily answer them, not once feeling judged or uncomfortable. Though she was a little wary that Kagome would find out that she was the one Sango was talking about.

When she nodded her head, Kagome hummed as she piled her hair atop her own head and sat a little more comfortable in her spot. “I’m just taking a guess, but, maybe the other person… Maybe you only like them because you feel it’s your only option.” she furrowed her brows as she absently tapped a pouting lower lip. “Why, exactly, is it you feel that you shouldn’t like this other person?”

Sango blushed when she realized that she would have to tell Kagome sooner or later, not that the other girl would pry or force the issue. But Sango knew, if she ever wanted, to be honest with herself, and feel like she would ever figure out where she stood, talking about it with Kagome would help.

“It’s because… They’re, another woman.” Sango ducked her head, cheeks heating with shame.

“Is that all?” the honest question, not a single tone of weighted judgment allowed Sango to lift her head.

“What?” the question left her before Sango even realized.

“Well, I know it’s not too common here in the past, well, accepted is the better term, but there’s nothing wrong if you like another woman. So don’t you ever feel like it’s not natural because it is.” the firmness in her tone had Sango nodding her head absently, hope blossoming in her chest.

“Is there… any…?” she didn’t quite know what she was asking, but Sango knew she needed something.

“Hm? Hang on a second.” Kagome dunked once again, quickly rinsing her hair. “Ah! Alright. When a woman loves another woman solely, they’re referred to as lesbian. When a person loves both men and women, then they’re referred to as bisexual. And there’s plenty of them in the future. While there are some that still don’t accept them, it’s not a crime.”

“I see.” Sango smiled when Kagome indicated that she would wash her hair for her. Sango turned around with a sigh and leaned into the massaging fingers. “What about you?”

“Me?” there was a hum as Kagome continued to work. “I haven’t really thought about it. I mean, I know there were other girls or women I felt attracted to… but I don’t know if I just recognized if I was attracted to them or simply understood that they were attractive.”

“And if… if another woman admitted to those sort of affections towards you?” Sango felt her heart pounding furiously in her chest, wondering if Kagome could hear it.

“Well, I honestly don’t know. If it was someone we just met, I would admit flattery if nothing else. If it were someone I knew for a good while… I’d either tell them if I could or could not accept their feelings.” she tapped Sango’s shoulder allowed Sango to know she could rinse the hair soap out.

While she was below the water, she went over Kagome’s reply. While it wasn’t exactly what she wanted to hear, it did give her hope. She breached the surface, gasping lightly for air. She could make out that Kagome was about to wash her hair with the special hair soap, though Sango was quick to stop Kagome.

Kagome sat there, blue eyes curious as she waited for her friend. She didn’t have to wait long as Sango was quick to press her lips to Kagome’s, watching as her eyes widened. After a few moments, she finally pulled back watching as Kagome’s cheeks were quick to take on color as she stammered to speak.

“I like, you, Kagome-chan.” she bit her lower lip as watched as Kagome attempted to say something, Sango was quick to hush her friend. “I know it is sudden, we haven’t known each other for very long, but I like you. Really like you. All I ask is that you wait before you let me know?”

Kagome could only nod her head absently, not even aware that Sango was leaving to get dressed and head back to camp. She was sitting there for a few minutes before she finally pressed her hand to her lips… It had been her first kiss. A giggle escaped her as she sunk into the water, her mind a storm of emotions and thoughts.

She realized in an absent thought, that, she liked Sango too, perhaps more than just a friend.

Gensokyo Festival Day 22: Kosuzu’s Grand Tour

The following is a transcript of everything Kosuzu said while giving a guided tour of the Human Village, which I somehow managed to scribble down during the tour. Amazingly, no-one spoke to me or acknowledged my existence throughout the tour, which makes this framing device a little tenuous. What the flip, at least I didn’t embarrass myself by trying to flirt with Aya...

Oh, hello there! Are you here for the tour?

Great! I'm Kosuzu, by the way. I work in the book rental shop, which we'll get to during the tour. Is everyone ready? Perfect! Follow me, everybody, and try to look human!

Right. On your left, you should be seeing a house, and on the right there should be another house. This is a pretty typical road; we have lots of roads just like this one in the village, although a few of them lead to bigger houses with gardens and stuff.

What? The shopping district? We're inside it, actually! A lot of us run small businesses out of our own homes. Look, there's the hairdresser's, right there! Shuri and Chichiro do the best side ponytails in the world!

Yes, as I was saying, most of the villagers can't afford to buy a shop, so they turn their homes into sort of half-shops. My parents are lucky; they inherited a house with two floors, so we can use the whole ground floor for books!

And now, here's the town square! This is where we do... town square things, like festivals and stuff! This is actually the oldest part of the village, it's been here since four thousand years ago.

...What? No, Mamizou, I wasn't there. I'm fifteen!

Anyway, in the centre of the square, you'll see our iconic dragon statue. Believe it or not, the colour of its eyes can predict the weather!

...Oh, you do believe it. Well, great! Good. Hey, did you know it sometimes changes direction, too?! I once saw the statue swivelling to face me while I was out buying tea, and-

Nue, that was you?! You made our statue rotate?!

Oh! Hi, Ms Kamishirasawa! No, no-one's making the statue rotate or anything. This is just a tour. I'm allowed to give guided tours.

All right, I admit that one's a youkai, but what's the harm in it?! You know they need to scare humans in order to live! One youkai knowing what the village looks like isn't going to-

Okay, fine, everyone in the group is a youkai. Oh, please don't beat them up! I need the money! I promise I won't show them anything embarrassing or dangerous, or...

You... want to escort us? I mean, you want to come too? Great! That's lovely! See, Aya? I told you I'd find a history expert!

Right. Um, let's go and see some of the more upmarket houses! Just this way, past the high street. Come along!

You can see quite a few of the bigger shops along here. There's Hitomi's House of Sashimi, the general store, the Kirisame-ya second-hand shop-

Wh-WHAT?! Of course we're not on our way to a lesbian orgy! How could you, Mr Kirisame?! Oh, Alice, Nue, will you please stop giggling? I'm not even of age!

...No, I will not tell Marisa to kill herself! Shame on you!

Wait, no, stop! Get off! Ow! Ouch! HELP!

G-good grief... That was a nice high kick, Ms Kamishirasawa. Very... Very effective. He's going to be feeling that in the morning.

Right. Well. Step this way, ladies; there's some great architecture along here, and even a shrine!

On your left, you should be seeing the Silver Mansion. It probably belongs to the lord of the village, but no-one's ever seen him, so I don't know for sure. Just look at those walls, though! Genuine silver birch planks, put together over a hundred years ago by a team of miyadaiku! And those paper walls have never grown a single pair of eyes!

On the other side of the road, there's Shigeru Kawasaki's house. He's an entrepreneur and landlord who loves gardening. Just look at those bonsai trees and the cute little flower beds! They're amazing!

Oh, here he comes now! Good afternoon, Mr Kawasaki!

...Wait, what do you mean we have to pay to admire your flowers?! They're in full view by the side of the road! You can't charge us just for looking at something!

No, don't call your guards! Oh, dear... Ms Kamishirasawa, could you talk to him? Oh, my! D-don't hurt him! Oh... Um... I-I think we should stop for lunch now...

Aya, can you stop taking pictures of Ms Kamishirasawa stomping on the poor chap's throat? It's really tacky.

Thank you. We'll be taking lunch in the village's premiere book-lending establishment, Suzunaan! My mother and I made some veggie curry and cheesecake, and there's half a salami in the pantry. We can probably spare you a slice each. We have a lot of old books and some classics which are out of print, too, so you're welcome to browse when we get there!

...Mamizou, why are you looking at me like that?

Wh-what do you mean, devious?! I'm just trying to give you all a nice tour! And the curry was pretty expensive to make...

Anyway, the bookshop is just along Orange Blossom Street. Follow me, everyone!

Here we are: Suzunaan, the oldest and most well-established book lender in the village! Just leave your shoes by the letter box. No, not on the little statue, Nue. Mummy, we're here! The tour is here!

She'll just be a few seconds. Here, take some seats!

All right, Nue, put down that chair. You know that wasn't what I meant.

I'm not cute when I'm angry! Mamizou, why would you say that?!

Oh, wow, this curry is delicious! Dig in, everyone!

Eep! NUE, PUT DOWN THAT SPADE THIS SECOND!

I'm so sorry, I had no idea she was going to be like this... Wait, why am I apologising? The tours were your idea, Mummy.

Fair point, bringing Nue was my idea... I'm going to stop talking and have my cheesecake now, all right?

Mmmmm... So good!

Wow, that meal was a triumph! Right, for the next stage of our tour- yes, Aya? What is it?

Agatha Chris Q? I'm sorry, I don't know her. I'm not even sure she lives in Gensokyo! I could maybe show you where the Child of Miare lives, though, since we'd be going that way anyway...

Mamizou, why are you giggling?

All right, keep your secrets. Let's go, people! To North Chicken Tempura Street!

Sorry, Alice, I do not know who came up with that name.

I do know that this street was on the front lines in a major battle some two or three hundred years ago. A bunch of kappa came along in steam-powered tanks and tried to burn down the village so they could take our cucumber! If you look closely, you can still see the scarring on the road where their tanks drove.

It's said that the spirits of the fallen warriors still linger in this very street, and that if a kappa ever attacks the village again, they'll rise up to defeat her.

...Oh, you've all met the spirits of the fallen warriors. Well, great! Anyway, there are a couple of places of worship a little further along. Not the usual sorts of shrines; instead we have a Buddhist temple and a Taoist church-

Wait, what's going on?! There's... There's a woman in a headscarf wrestling with another woman in a stupid hat...

Ichirin and Futo? Those are their names? Well, I never... Um, let's take the scenic route through the alleys. Watch out, it's a little muddy here. Or it might be animal dung. Let's just, um, step around it...

Nue, don't you dare throw that me. I have a spell-card.

Well, yes, you do have ten of the strongest spell-cards in the land, and enough magic pulsating through your veins to duel for hours, but that still doesn't give you any right to-

OH, MY DAYS, A HEADLESS WOMAN! Keine, save me!

Oh, it's only you, Sekibanki... Good grief, you scared me to death!

Well, you see, I'm doing a guided tour of the village. For a modest fee, you get an in-depth look at all the best stuff in the village, with fascinating historical insights and a free meal to boot!

...Well, that wasn't very nice. Honestly, some people just don't care about culture...

That was completely uncalled-for, Mamizou. Aren't you ashamed of being so... Well, so pithy?

Oh. That makes sense, I suppose. Let's press on! Just around this barrel, over the two filthy cushions and past the... Dead dog... Which wasn't here a week ago... Oh, gods, I'm going to throw up! Duck, Aya!

Ohhh, my throat hurts... So sorry about your boots, Alice. It'll wash out, though, won't it?

Right. The Hieda mansion. Just this way, ladies, past the puddle of vomit...

Oh, yes, there's a little roadside shrine here! The Moriyas set it up, I think. It's supposed to drive away snakes. And, just a little further, the Hieda residence! Isn't it beautiful? Just like Akyuu...

I-I didn't say that! I said nothing! Gosh, look at those clouds moving in, we could be in for a cold night. I love mochi, though, don't you? It's so sweet and chewy, and-and I've been thinking of buying some new boots for the winter. My old pair are a little too small. Er. Um.

Oh! Akyuu! Hi! Um, I was just, um... W-we were doing a tour! Of the village! Would you please tell my friends here something interesting?

Really? Six hundred years?

Gosh...

Oh, my days, that's horrible!

Did-did he really manage to defeat all twelve of them?!

Amazing!

Wow, that was so kind of him! And after all the trouble her allergies caused, too...

Good golly, we've been listening for two hours! Akyuu, you really go all in, don't you? You really are the greatest. Thank you so much!

Um, Nue, why are you snoring? Alice, why are you using Nue as a pillow?! Come on, wake up! Akyuu's making a big effort for all of us!

No, it's okay, I forgive you. I suppose it was a bit long...

Right, then, time for the highlight of our tour: a trip to the Hakurei Shrine!

...Mamizou, what do you mean, you went there for tea yesterday? I don't believe it. I won't! I refuse to let my tour end on a low note just because youkai are weird! Akyuu, could we please borrow a bottle of sake? And maybe some ramune?

Ah, this is perfect! Thank you so much, sweetie- I mean, um, Miss Hieda no Akyuu, my... Platonic... Heterosexual friend...

Nue, Mamizou, stop laughing! Now come on, we're going to the shrine, and that's final!

Aaagh, I'm exhausted... I had no idea it was so high up in the mountains... It can't be much further, though, right?

Finally! Oh, thank goodness, we're here! Hey, Reimu, I brought the tour group! Sorry we're so late; Akyuu sidetracked us with a story. We have sake, though, and orange juice for me!

This shrine was founded many years ago, and at least one shrine maiden has lived here ever since-

Since eight hundred and seventy-two BC, Ms Kamishirasawa? Wow... Anyway, the Hakurei Shrine was once associated with academia, and people used to come here to pray for good exam results. No-one knows which god lives here, though.

Nue, you can't have met him! Will you please stop messing with me and just try to enjoy the tour?!

I'm sorry, Reimu, she isn't always like this...

Oh. She is always like this? Well, you know her better than me...

Wow, this lemonade is delicious! It almost makes the arduous climb up the mountain seem worth it, right?

Oh, shut up, Aya...

Right. Before we finish the tour, Reimu said she had a special thing she wanted to show off, and even I haven't seen it yet. Are you ready for this?

Um, Reimu... Is that a donation box on wheels?

Right... Well, she does do a great job fighting tirelessly to protect Gensokyo, so won't you please contribute something? I mean, the tour's only two hundred mon per head, you can afford a little...

Wait, where are you going?! You don't have to donate, it's just, it'd be nice! And-and you haven't even paid ME! I can't give tours at a dead loss! Don't do this to me!

Oh, is that tea for me? Thanks, Reimu. Just what I need to wash down all that lemonade...
