I can't fucking take it. I see an image of a key and then I see it, I fucking see it. "Oh that looks kinda like the limbo keys" it started as. That's funny, that's a cool reference. But I kept going, I'd see a clock with time that showed 8:00, I'd see that I'm on the 8th page on my school homework, my last notice to pay my electricity bill is 800$ , I'd notice that it's been 8 days since the last time I touched a woman. And every time I'd burst into an insane, breath deprived laugh staring at the image as the limbo keys ran through my head. I'm scared to open my door when someone asks me to. It's torment, psychological torture, I am being conditioned to laugh maniacly any time I see keys which are anywhere close to 8. I can't fucking live like this... I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't! And don't get me fucking started on the words! I'll never hear the phrase "its blue!" again without thinking of limbo. Someone beats the level after incredible amounts of time and effort and I can't say anything other than "it's blue!" I could watch a man complete limbo blindfolded at 60hz and all I would be able to say is "It's blue!" and laugh like a fucking insane person. And the word "blue" is ruined. I can't live anymore. limbo has destroyed my fucking life. I want to eject myself from this plane of existence.

Kairo - eyes The tone of this arrangement is intriguing to me; it manages an abrasively morose mood, something I'm not sure should be possible, and the vocal performance somehow fits it perfectly. All in all a find worth holding out for. Echoes Construction - Dawn ~ Denouncement Similarly intriguing, but by degree rather than content. There's a dissonance to this piece that doesn't seem to serve a specific purpose, yet also isn't distracting enough to ruin the experience. I'm not sure what to make of it. lol project - The Refrain of the Lovely Great War [EP Mix] I think TREN is the musician within the circle, but the citations are unclear. It's fascinating how early this piece is technically appearing compared to its associated game. I might have held out for something more unusual, but I appreciate the resoluteness of this remix.

I appreciate you reading and your critique Mota. :) Yeah, I didn't see Marisa choosing violence unless something went really wrong, but there were other ways things could go poorly. Fortunately everything seems okay. :) So now we get to figure out Danmaku. Oscar sadly won't be able to participate much, even if some of his stage tricks might be useful. I once mused if he were a boss in the games, he wouldn't actually do damage. Just modify the battle while his minions fought you. He might warp your screen, shoot rockets to buffet you around, or even open your options menu to change the brightness. He'll probably follow a similar idea, blinding or deafening people. At least until he can get 'real' spell cards. Even then, probably won't be a real threat with them unless you outwit your foes. I'm glad you and Mokou-tan enjoyed the disguises! I'll be honest, I hate the Human Village. Part of the reason is, for a place called the Human Village, there aren't many humans there. Sure, there are humans in the side stories. But I don't think the game's had a fight there with a 'true' human. Even on the Wiki, most of the characters listed living in the town are Youkai. Keine, Kogasa, Sekibanki. Sure, Marisa technically has a shop there, but she's transitioning into a youkai/devil. Same with Kosuzu. Even Akyuu is debatable. While scenes of the Bakette as schoolmates is cute, the lore both tells us that non-humans aren't welcome in the village, but they also come and go as they please. This is my compromise between the world-as-written, and the world-as-imagined. Cirno and friends attend the school at night, disguised as humans when no one will spot them. They're only outside now because they woke up and noticed their new friend wasn't eaten alive by hungry trees. :P Not quite. :) He shares inventory with Agappa, who plundered eight bullets off a body earlier. They're useless as weapons without their firearm, but a creative person might find a use for their components. Even if the idea of a spell card just being 'gun' is amusing. I dunno. I always thought of Marisa as a good person, even if she's a thief. Oscar would have to convince her he was a real piece of work for her to Master Spark all over the place. But there are many ways he could ruin his new life in Gensokyo outside 'spell card to the face', and Marisa could do that in several ways. As for why she hasn't stolen anything, I think that's more down to him not having anything to interest her, outside the other grimoire. And that'll be easier to steal now that he has two of them. Ah yes, the Shrine Maiden in the room. If you can get Oscar on Marisa's good side, she may be able to protect him just a little from her. Its less 'I will die for this handsome stranger' and more 'I'll call my best friend a jerk for being so rude to a new friend'. Not that it'll do more than make Reimu temporarily argue with Marisa. Reimu may not like Oscar much, though we will see why as time moves on.

ive listened to lets ghost by akatsuki records for 40+ minutes, am i okay

I assume he's American, which has a gun culture where not owning a gun might as well be tantamount to a social crime... so of course he would have bullets. Taking into account a Shinigami likely brought him to Gensokyo on orders from somewhere, she either made sure he would be harmless and stole away the gun, or he did not have it on his person. I believe the latter to be more likely. Marisa might get into a lot of fights, but there is not going to be a master spark coming for people she believes to be your regular human or an Outsider. So I was not worried we'd get 'Magicannon: "Final Spark"'ed here. As for the theft: even though Marisa has fought the Yamaxanadu of Gensokyo and lost, she still shows no signs of repenting for her kleptomaniac tendencies. Still, getting in more hot water than she already is would be inadvisable to her, especially in the middle of the Human Village. You got caught up in the tension of the moment, and made a decision without a cool head... something that Oscar here would have learned to keep in the profession of magician. The village is going to be his home base for a while, if the Hakurei miko doesn't drag him all the way to her shrine; so yes, this is only the beginning of the dangers in the village. We still have those scheming Youkai to meet, after all.

I agree. In general Yumetou has been doing a great job adding his own twists to Gensokyo, all while being careful not to confuse the reader. I think those little details go a long way to add life to the story :) Looks good I'm not sure what Oscar has bullets for, but I assume all of these items will eventually have some use, I hope. By the way did anyone else think the latest chapter felt pretty intense? I was fully expecting Marisa to lose her patience and go all out on Oscar, or steal what little earnings he made, thankfully neither of which happened... whew, close one. One small verbal mistake and I think he could've been blasted into ashes there. Or maybe I'm overreacting. I admit, I was the only one that chose "flee from Marisa" option last time haha. What does everyone say? Is it just me or was this only the beginning of the many dangers he will face in the village?

And here we are again! another great weekend and this time I returned with a profile pic! it's Mokou-tan being her usual cute self, amazing right? Also, I'd like to thank my understanding senpais for the warm welcome and thoughtful advice, considering that so far I have only logged in the Sundays due to a particularly tight schedule and my admittedly short attention span meaning that I didn't pay attention to the special features this shrine allows us dear users, I hope that this time I can live up to your expectations. Now moving on to the story, it finally happened huh? I feared that it would happen too soon and that little Ozzy wouldn't be ready for it but an actual magic person is challenging him... even if Marisa is still human it would be unwise to use tricks directly to her face so I ended up choosing the safe big brain option of trying to fool her. On the other hand, I was just as surprised as Osu seeing how Cirno and the gang were actually disguising themselves, most authors just don't care and mix the children with Youkais in the classes, which in hindsight might not be actually a smart choice, as always your take on Gensokyo keeps surprising me. Keep it up, boss!
