{First Desire}

[Action I - 5719 Cunningham Lane - Early Morning]

[And in this morning, she woke up, in a strange place. Now, honestly, that isn't a new situation to her. After all, she fell asleep in the old Japan, and awoke in a land of fantasy and Youkai that was a lot like old Japan, but completely sealed from the majority of Japan... and the rest of the world

Action II

[nothing_is_grey]

[There is a Yama going about her regular business. No reason to let such set backs like, no power, freezing weather and slightly erratic abilities keep her down. If everything just shut down and turned off every time there was a small problem nothing would ever get done.

Now Eiki wasn't too unusual, she had a coat on, it was only practical, however she had her full judges uniform underneath, along with her hat on her head. It made her stand out just a little bit. As for Miko she wasn't paying her much mind, sealed people were not her concern after all and she had no idea that particular group was set free.]

[In the sea of monotony that was the drones, any little thing stuck out. Green hair? Stuck out. That hat? Stuck out.

If experience had taught her anything, that which stuck out was the first to go to for information. And, as she approached, she could see that cap, and knew what that hat was.

Whose idea was it to let an Enma into the town, she didn't know. Normally, she would not have cared, either. Enma were of no concern to someone they weren't going to be able to judge anyway.]

Enma.

[Yep. That's all Eiki gets]

Action II

[nothing_is_grey]

[She pauses a moment, there wasn't a single person she could think of that actually referred to her that way, and with no honorific.... She turned slowly and blinked over at Miko. It took her a moment but she connected the face to a name.]

Well isn't it the last person I ever expected to ever see. How may I help you Kamitsumiya no Umayado no Toyotomimi no Mikoto?

Re: Action II

[tenth_desire]

[Well that certainly gives her pause. If this is an Enma that knows who she is, simply by looking at her - and Tao she hasn't heard her full name used like that in centuries - then one of two things; either this is someone from Gensokyo, or...]

So tell me, did the shikaisen actually fail and everyone around here doesn't believe they're dead, or are you trapped as well?

II

[echoes_sutras]

-Outside of one of the houses, the prince will find a girl happily singing to herself as she goes about shoveling snow from the walkway. She would have gotten to it this morning, but... She needed to do the same to Byakuren and Ichirin's houses.-

Re: II

[tenth_desire]

[Kids. Whatever. Honestly, she'd just bypass. She can't hear any desires, so she feels deaf and so unless her eyes catch someone interesting along the way, she's not going to really care.

But her eyes catch here.

Why does this look familiar...

She stops, head tilting.]

[echoes_sutras]

-Kyouko doesn't seem to notice, continuing to sing...

... Actually, isn't that a Buddhist hymn she's singing?-

[tenth_desire]

[You know, that's a great reason for her to...

... Want to go the other way. But then, that would be running, and getting closer could be just as well because she swears she's seen this one around somewhere before.

Let's see how long before Kyouko breaks her patience with happy Buddhists.]

Did they let you out alone on purpose?

[forgottenmagia]

[Don't mind Youkai Jesus prancing around, in a big-and-foofy winter coat. With a bundle of blankets and boxes in her arms. It's a wonder how she manages to carry all of those things without her magic intact.]

Re: II

[tenth_desire]

[... There's really only one person with hair like that.

... Really.

And as lost and confused and feeling like a frozen, drowned Rat as Miko has started to, having wandered around all day, she's just going to...

... Hope she's not recognized. She can't deal with Buddhists right now. Especially not happy ones. And so she attempts to pass. Silently. For once. Grump frump.]

1/GOD KNOWS AHHHHH

[forgottenmagia]

[Cue her stopping abruptly in her tracks. Miko, it's your lucky day!]

Excuse me, Miss. You look very cold and tired. Do y--

[forgottenmagia]

[Wait.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT.]

[adropofjupiter]

[GUESS WHO WAS ON HER WAY TO FIND YOU IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY WITHOUT ACTUALLY KNOWING IT WHEN SHE WAS YOINKED TO MAYFIELD?

Yup... Marisa doesn't know Miko, but the blonde girl, bundled up against the cold, flying sideways on a broom while paging through a book is probably easy to recognize.

Bother her - Y/N?]

Re: II

[tenth_desire]

[Oh. Yes. Right. The one with the sparks and flares that wanted to loot her mausoleum.

... And got nothing out of it because she couldn't understand enough conversations at once and that was all there was to offer.

But what does she say to bug her? 'Have you been training to try to listen to many desires at once yet?'

She can't even do that here.

So she'll watch, and ponder, and if Marisa feels eyes on her, then there she goes]

[adropofjupiter]

[What a lame mausoleum.

Eventually, Marisa does feel like she's being watched and glances up to find some woman that looks like she just rolled out of bed looking at her.]

Yo.

[tenth_desire]

[1400 years is a long time to get bedhead, man]

Hello, there, witch. [Well, it's a casual enough greeting, which means even if Marisa doesn't know her, Marisa is known]

If you can fly, then can you hear them here?

[Guess who doesn't know canon points!]
