[Action/Text] - Arrival of Patchy

[knowledgeandshadow]

As the wizard's mind slowly returned to full consciousness, she soon became aware that something wasn't right, a feeling that she'd been moved... This was most certainly not her library. Patchouli awakens in a state of groggy confusion to find herself in some kind of metal pod, and as for the pod itself, it was in the middle of a cavern that immediately made her think of Old Hell.

"Where...?" Oh... There's something on the chest... A box of some kind. She surmised that it may lead to some answers, and she was right. Within it was a pamphlet, a necklace, and a device which the use of quickly became clear after reading the pamphlet, and of course, money, all of which she quickly pocketed.

Rather than simply step out into the shallow water, she instead used her magic to float above it and make her way towards the city.

It appears I'm in something of a predicament.

I am Patchouli Knowledge. I understand that many have been brought here against our will. But, nevertheless... has this place truly come to be a home for some?

[She saw the welcoming video. It didn't make sense not to.]

It honestly would not be long before Patchouli would run across someone who was back out and exploring With or without someone keeping a eye on her, who knows.. Although it takes the curious vampire to realize who she had run across. Her eyes slowly widen and she moves quickly to catch up to her, a bright smile on her face.

"Patchouli! You are here now too!"

Might want to stop her before she gets too excited there..

It was both a surprise and fairly alarming to find Flandre wandering around all alone. An accident just waiting to happen. And it happens no sooner than Patchouli setting foot on dry land.

"Flandre? What are you doing here all alone?"

[Action]

[prismaticdestruction]

That..stops her dead in her tracks and hesitating. Wings pulled tightly against her back and withdrawing a bit. She feels like she's about to get into trouble..and it's the first time in a while since she's even seen Patchouli.

"I'm looking around. It's new and I wanna know where everything is...It's okay..."

[Action]

[knowledgeandshadow]

"How long have you been here, alone and without anyone watching over you?"

Well, she wasn't sure she liked the idea of Flandre being here at all...

"So it seems. I've been investigating the matter. There are other residents of Gensokyo here also.

-From: Alice."

Re: [Text]

[knowledgeandshadow]

I see. And who might they be?

[Well, nice to hear from someone levelheaded.]

[Text]

[superficially_busy]

"I've only confirmed two. There are suggestions of others.
One, you may not know; Koishi. The other, you will; Reimu."

[Text]

[knowledgeandshadow]

Reimu I know well enough, Koishi... I've heard of her. She had a tendency to wander.

I have encountered one other resident of Gensokyo... Flandre.

[celestial_wizard]

Well... welcome to Genessia. And to answer your question about residency, ...yeah, some people here are actually pretty fine with staying here. Some gave up on finding a way back home, and others - well, the situation where they're from probably is a lot worse off than it is here, even though it's not a hundred percent safe here either.

[Video]

[knowledgeandshadow]

[There is a short pause, before the deceptively young looking Patchouli appears on the screen. She couldn't be much older than twenty, but she is far older.]

Gensokyo isn't a hundred percent safe itself. As for myself... I doubt I'll give up. My library is... quite important to me

[Video]

[celestial_wizard]

[ Lucy nodded - she looked 19 herself, though chronologically thanks to time stasis spells she should have been at least 7 years older than that. Oh well! ]

I won't give up either. There are important things my friend and I have to do. [ Like bring members of Fairy Tail back together, though...she wondered if they would even want to. ]

What kind of library do you have?

Re: [Video]

[knowledgeandshadow]

It's quite vast... and full of many magical tomes, many I've written myself. I would advise against entering it uninvited, unless of course you can dodge many magical bolts.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Close Enough.

I'm Pidonus, and I'm from, statistically speaking, a really different world than yours.

Text

[knowledgeandshadow]

A different world? Interesting. Such a thing isn't impossible.

Text

[have_hat_will_travel]

It's normal enough where I'm from. This particular planar sphere's kind of odd, though, with the Archways and Subarchways...

Text

[knowledgeandshadow]

What can you tell me, apart from what I've learned from the pamphlet?

text

[deathsought]

So it would seem. The humans here have shown a fascinating ability to adapt.

text

[knowledgeandshadow]

Hmm, you speak as if you're not human yourself. A youkai, perhaps?

text

[deathsought]

I'm not familiar with that term. What is a 'youkai?'

[Mewtwo didn't want to scare the newcomer off with a video of himself just yet and so chose to answer through audio, despite the restless Charizard nearby.]

For some of us, this place is a safe haven, away from a world that would seek to use and enslave us, or put our friends in danger simply because of the power we were born with. Such power is not uncommon in this place and our own merely helps us blend in - to a point. It is nice to not have to worry about being found and hunted in such a way.

[Voice]

[knowledgeandshadow]

[She'd be the sort that would react with curiosity.]

I see you've dealt with the best humanity has to offer.

[Dryer than the Atacama Desert, that response. She's lived through World Wars I and II, she's seen some shit.]

[Voice]

[psychic_supremecy]

Suffice to say that humanity has not exactly endeared itself to me.

[fairy_tail_knight]

It can take some getting used to, but there are worse places.

Re: Video;

[knowledgeandshadow]

[Patchouli looks back passively.]

I can certainly think or worse.

Re: Video;

[fairy_tail_knight]

Have you been shown around, yet?
