[illusionarymoon]

All right. I don't think I can take much more.

I'm building my shrine here.


[not long after her voice comes through the journals, Reimu will be shutting her own and taking off to the skies through a window in her apartment. She'll be flying through the air to her destination: the cherry blossom hill where she's had the idea to build her shrine for a while now.

Once she gets there, she'll be on the ground trying to find the best place to set it up.]

[godbent]

You're going to what?

[Her Brigade already set up something small for Miyabi on said hill as well. Just a simple skeleton of a "shrine" but still, it was fitting for Amaterasu's holy ground. This person is just going to make something like that?

[voice]

[illusionarymoon]

Shrine. Build one. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it to you before?

[voice]

[godbent]

What, by yourself?

[voice]

[illusionarymoon]

Preferably not! I'm not built for hard labor like that.

voice

[handmotions]

It's going to take a lot of work. To build a shrine.

Need a hand?

[He'd be willing to help if you'd let him.]

voice

[illusionarymoon]

Once I find a place, sure. What's your name, you who wants to help? I dunno if I could keep calling you that when I find the perfect place.

voice

[handmotions]

Well, good luck looking for a place.

My name is Noel Kreiss and yours..?

voice

[illusionarymoon]

Thanks. If I had it my way, I'd be back in Gensokyo, but I guess that's not to be.

Noel, huh? Sounds kind of Christmas-y. Well, good to meet you! I'm Reimu.

[voice]

[folklorist]

You're...making a shrine? [ Ha! That's fantastic! ] Do you want any help? I-I might not know t-too much about their construction but, but perhaps the library has a book on how to do so. I wouldn't mind helping if, if you want that is.

[voice]

[illusionarymoon]

Sure, I'd welcome the help. I have one back home, so it's really just a replica, but it'll help with the homesickness.

[voice]

[folklorist]

[ A frown. Homesickness, yes. That was quite a prominent thing here in Luceti. Despite the glamor and fascinating new world people were made to live in nothing really could compare to one's home. Helios understands though and he gives a solemn nod at the other's explanation. ] Th-that's always hard. Homesickness. I-I'm sure having something to remind you will help with it. It's, um, always helped me at least. There's always the battle dome too. But...it's not the same as having a real life building of it.

[voice]

[illusionarymoon]

Yeah, the battle dome won't cut it for me. I'd rather have something physical. It'll make it feel a little more like home, I'd just have to fill it with things I love too.

[Especially since that would help the most. She's sure some others might have come to terms with it, but it didn't mean she had to have nothing but herself and some of her personal effects to remind herself.]

[Voice]

[most_unwanted]

Would this be similar to a certain shrine of yours back where you're from?

[Mulder wouldn't mind helping, and besides, he knows what her original shrine looks like pretty well.]

[Voice]

[illusionarymoon]

You betcha, Fox. I have an idea of where I want it. I just need to find the perfect spot.

[Voice]

[most_unwanted]

Where were you thinking? Anywhere with a good view?

[Voice]

[illusionarymoon]

I'd been looking out by the hill with the cherry blossoms so far. I dunno if there's anywhere else that I'd like, though I'm open for suggestions.

[vulcanblazer]

Your shrine? Like back from Gensokyo? ...Well, I don't know much about building things, but if you need someone to do heavy lifting, you won't find anyone better for it!

[illusionarymoon]

The very same. I figure a replica would be the best way to feel better about being here long-term. I'd appreciate the help, once I figure out a good place. I'll repay you with an Oni's serving of alcohol! [There's a laugh after this.]

[vulcanblazer]

[Adell's face turns a little green.]

I think I'm gonna be sick just thinking about it...

[Action]

[inkdrops]

[Miyabi actually heard the message just as Reimu appears, and she can't help but raise her brows with a mental "...huh", and smirk a little bit. This might be a bit interesting. And a disappointment to the kid, seeing as how there already is a shrine there at the cherry tree hill.

A rather small one, but a shrine nonetheless. Yet the inside is decorated with lots of beautiful paintings and an offered dish of sake, if Reimo looks inside. There's also a small, sparkling, glowing ball of golden light inside as well. The poncle was adding her signature to one of the large paintings inside.]

...I'm afraid you're a little late for this place.

[Action]

[illusionarymoon]

[Woah, wait, a voice? Reimu will look around a little, and then notice the smaller shrine. She'll get down to see inside, but there is one. Huh.]

Not up for sharing, huh? Man, and I thought this was the perfect place for one. Looks like I wasn't alone.

[Action]

[inkdrops]

[The shine is thankfully not as big as the person inside it (how would anyone be able to appreciate it that way?) so Reimu will be able to fit inside as well as look inside fairly easily. It was built for the poncle by actual people here in Luceti, so it has to accommodate for a human's actual size.]

Eh, well...these trees were made by my goddess, when she was still in Luceti, and I live here and guard and care for the trees in her stead. It makes sense that I'd ask for a shrine here for her too, right?

Ehehe, but I can hang a charm for you, miss, if you like? Or light incense. Are you a higher spirit, too?

[voice]

[neverplaysfair]

The entire grounds, or just the shrine itself?

[voice]

[illusionarymoon]

If I can get away with the entire grounds, I'd do that. I could have festivals and a proper fortune telling booth. A shrine works for that too, I guess, just not as grand.

[voice]

[neverplaysfair]

But in other words, you're not sure yet.
