MYSTERIOUS [video-text]

[The communicator abruptly turns on for the briefest of moments. If you're lucky you may see a flash of green, or a split-second smile.]

[Then the words appear]

It has been some time, Gensokyo.

You do not seem to have changed.

[tempestabianca]

This place DOES have a certain timelessness to it, doesn't it?

[not_in_windows]

Of course it does.

Gensokyo was made for beings not bound by the human lifespan. The nature of this world reflects that.

[tempestabianca]

That would explain the number of youkai...

[not_in_windows]

Gensokyo was made for the youkai when they were on the verge of vanishing completely.

You didn't know that until now?

[tempestabianca]

No offense, but getting straight answers hasn't been easy.

[not_in_windows]

Pity.

[tempestabianca]

Ah well, it's not all bad. Makes me feel like a detective, somewhat.

[not_in_windows]

And what are you normally?

[tempestabianca]

Captain Jyuushirou Ukitake, Captain of the 13th Division of the Gotei 13. A shinigami.

[not_in_windows]

I was not aware the shinigami had become a military force

[tempestabianca]

Oh, well, you know.

Human population and all.

[not_in_windows]

That bad?

[tempestabianca]

Well "bad" isn't the word I'd use.

[not_in_windows]

Then what would you use?

[tempestabianca]

Growth and life are never bad things.

[not_in_windows]

Are they? Things grow and live at the expense of others
