The Human Village Erroneous and simple name aside, the Human Village is the main settlement of humanity within Gensokyo. Lying along the Canal of Willows and encircled by the Forest of Magic, the Human Village is a walled Japanese style village of the late Meiji era. It is home to numerous sites of note, including the Hakurei Shrine just outside the village, Hieda Temple, Suzunaan book shop, numerous stores, and the only school in the region. It is largely inhabited by humans native to Gensokyo, though a sizable minority of humans from various Outside World countries may be found here as well. As a new arrival to the Human Village, you will have both distinct advantages and disadvantages over the natives. You will be both healthier and better educated than most natives. However, you will need to learn Japanese, as well as the dangers of living in Gensokyo, and most of your education and life experience will be of little help. The Heida Temple School offers free education for Outsiders, with the understanding you will integrate and assist the village. Opportunities to make money for Outsiders were typically few, however Otherworldly Ventures has invested in a number of facilities to assist in both housing and vocational training, in exchange for half your income and contract of service. Usually for five years. A few examples of Otherworldly Ventures storefronts include: Azuma no Pizza-ya Daiyousei Sharecropping Honengyo Fishery Perry Lumber Company A Normal Human Blacksmithy Bintara Clinic & Pharmacy =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Among the throngs of people lining the road, a figure moved among them. Drifting between the curious observers effortlessly. She had lived in this village far longer than most, and knew its superstitious inhabitants well. Which made her all the more leery of what lay beyond the wooden gate outside… For his part, Oscar rocked back and forth on his toes. His little trick had worked, but the line of eyes gazing down at him and the silence was beginning to unnerve him. The quiet was thankfully broken as the double doors swung open. He wasn’t sure what he had been expecting. But the woman in her blue dress and square hat definitely hadn’t been it. Despite her simple dress, the stern look she gave under her long white hair was enough to freeze the blood. A fact made doubly sure as Agappa crept behind him. Peering nervously around him. Yet again he was a barrier between two people… “Ah, good evening.” He said, his throat finally mustering the courage to speak. “I’m--” “Come with me, Outsider.” Her tone was curt, but she left the gate open as she turned. Which was more than enough for Oscar. The Magician followed after her. A fresh sense of relief washed over him as he passed under the gate. He had no idea where it was or how he came here. But for now, he was safe… =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The gate creaked audibly as it swung shut. Blocking out the nighttime sounds of the forest and securing the village once again. Three pairs of eyes gazed from the darkness. Kimiko’s voice cursing in the darkness. “We could have caught him just now. He had enough meat to feed us for the night.” “Shhh, patience little sister,” A creeping voice emerged from the dark behind her. Its tone was understanding, though the way it spoke was enough to make even the Maneater’s skin crawl. “We could have caught him, yes, but his screams would have drawn out the town’s exterminators, not to mention the little friends who so thoroughly bested you.” The soft touch of satin fingers against Kimiko’s cheek almost made her jump. Even as it tenderly brushed her hair behind one ear. Ripples of anger at the barb pulsed in her mind, but she knew not to react. Her oldest sister would see it as reason enough to humiliate her further. “It would be truly terrible if Agappa Haraume reporting to Eiki that a human was attacked by Maneaters, or the Gap Hag becoming aware of our presence so close to her pets. Even Ex-Rumia awakening would mean death for we true Youkai. No. We know the hole he has fled to. We will draw him out in time. Hariko will go into the town in the coming days, and fetch us something to eat. When suspicion is roused against him...then we strike.” The low mocking laughter of her eldest sister was joined by the giggles of the second eldest. Her arms and hair raised to the half-moon, sinister hooks glittering in the light. A promise of the feast to come. If only it would comfort Kimiko’s empty belly… =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The houses that passed were of simple make, Oscar noted. Scarcely larger than sheds, though the space inside was about the same as an apartment, he supposed. The figure ahead of him moved confidently through the streets. Ignoring the bystanders who watched with naked curiosity. Eventually they came to a simply but distinguished building of wood and clay, adjoining a much larger structure. Whether it was a mansion or a temple, he couldn’t tell in the low light. The woman slipped off her black shoes, the red bows looking unnecessarily large in the dark. Without a word he began to follow. “No shoes.” Agappa’s voice was low and monotone as ever. Glancing over his shoulder, he could see she had already pulled off her broken sandals. With a roll of the eyes, he pulled his worn wool socks free of his shoes before following the trail of light from a room down the hall. The space was sparsely furnished. A number of educational materials written in an unrecognized language sat in stacks or on posters on the wall. A telescope and astronomical display by an open window. To the right, sitting imperiously behind a desk was the stern face of the woman gatekeeper. “Please. Sit.” The words were more like a command than an invitation. Though Oscar was too tired to do more than silently oblige, taking a stool facing the desk. Agappa followed, careful to keep in his shadow. “Tea?” “Please.” He didn’t feel parched, but it had been at least half a day since he’d had anything to drink. If anything, he wished there was food too. But it was best not to press his host. A moment later, a steaming cup of green tea sat before him. One he happily took. Even as the stranger observed him coolly from the opposite side of the desk. “So tell me. Who are you, and what are you doing here?” =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = “I am Oscar, though my friends call me Osu. They were trying to guide me here when we got separated.” = “I am Oscar Diggs, Magician Magnificent and Sorcerer beyond Compare. Didn’t you hear?” = “I’m sorry, we seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot. Would ah...Twenty dollars convince you to let me spend the night?” = “I’m sorry Miss, is this an interrogation? Because I’ve had enough threats for one day.” = “What an excellent question. I will be happy to answer it in the morning.”

Greetings, my my, what a speedy chapter this week, already to the Human Village (though it will be a welcome change of pace, since "walking in the scary woods" was getting a bit stale). Good integration of Narumi. She's a simple character with not much to it, so her not being there for long makes sense. Nyoko was right in that "magician" would make people react (though Oscar didn't know that). I like Oscar being "so done" with this trek through the woods ("no more questions, just get out of here"). Now, for next week choice: being late has its advantages, I get to break the tie. I'll go for the obvious "enter through the gate". Making a magic trick will get Oscar into trouble, but eh, not like he hasn't done with trouble before. Besides, what would people think if suddenly saw a Youkai jumped over the wall (and Aggapa could count this as "breaking in")? Or a suspicious person climbing with a robe or from a tree? If Oscar doesn't get spotted, then what would people think if suddenly there's someone nobodies knows dressed in a weird outfit? EDIT: Forgot the reference to Team9 cooking in the woods as Oscar walks by. A nice touch that shows a hint of what could have been.
