-Alice I was on break cuz I wasn't feeling well, I'm back now!

-alice take care of urself bruv

"I Could. But with it not being time yet i didnt mean just your gear silly." *She drinks her sake peacefully* "We want to make a big of a splash as we can no? Really get your name out there" *Of course that wasnt the reason she wanted to wait*

-alice THIS IS FUCKING KILLINGME OHMYGOD WHY IS IT SO FUNNY TO ME

"As much as id loove to chuck you up there youd probably die very fast. A hero who returns is better than one who dies on the way" *She floats to the minifridge and pulls out a bottle of sàke* "So if you dont want to suffocate to death you'll need gear. This room will be availble to you till then"

-alice Kinda dying. Gonna take care of myself n stuffs so I'll be off for tonight.

"...hmm" *She watches his expression before answering* "Let's just say they're worse than any movie you can imagine. That's why I said thought it would be proper if a hero like yourself got to them."

"Have you ever been to the moon denji?" *She gestures up at the sky, despite it not being in this gap of reality* "Theres some... Very Annoying people on the moon yknow-Lunarians are their name" *She tilts her head* "Theyre selfish little pests. I specifically want to get back at their sage."

"Oh my... Its going to be one of those lazy days for me.."

"A Spar. First to get knocked off their feet loses. I havent met someone i would want to see what they can do in quite a while..." *She seems pretty eager for this, a wide grin forming on her face* "And Even more rarely someone that isnt mortal-"

⠀⠀ ㋛ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ I got something evil setup for Sunday. No one will be prepared 😭

-alice CHAT HES DOING SOMETHING EPIC DOGPILE HIM

"Ran will be happy to hear that. She can be quite cold to outsiders. Surely she will get used to you" *Yukari floats around denji as he looks trough the room* "I'm sure ran explained it but the door will take you to the outside world. I noticed you aren't a fan of gaps"

-Alice Mfw Im at work and can't work Photoshop magic...

*ran the woman in blonde just gestures to follow her into the shrine. She doesn't speak much as they walk but she does say one thing* "Miss yukari thinks you're interesting." *She then opened a room, that's full of decorations a Nintendo gamecube-

"Do enjoy, according to Chen it's quite the pleasant expirence"

"eeeeh? You're scared of lil old me? How come?" *Her voice is somewhat dripping in a mixture of sarcasm and disappointment* "fine fine no fight then. However as a sign of goodwill I shall prepare a room for you to stay and enough food to last you a while" *She snaps her fingers*

"This reminds me when Chen used to eat raw butter. A creature has gotta eat I suppose" *She laughs to herself*

"It's just rude to ask for rewards before a job is done" *She tilts her head in confusion, her brain doesn't seem to operate in a traditional way* "I can provide you with a place to stay. But if you're going to stay here you're gonna have to do your part"

-alice. Tired. Bed.

*yukaris smile fades a little* "You need to be taught some manners don't you." *Her head tilts and the pain from the fall slowly comes back* "but my favours are less physical and more... Intrinsic in nature" *She snaps her fingers and it becomes night*

"wow youre smarter than what i gave you credit for" *Her voice has a slight hint of sarcasm to it* "I shoulda figured that the great chainsawman wants to be compenstaed" *She shakes her head* "how about for every favour you do for me you get one from me?" *She smiles in that uncanny way again*

*as denji sits down Yukari smiles, another portal opens drops a table, two cups of tea and cake on the table and then closes* "Oh these? They're nothing to worry about. I juts like to keep a close eye on things" *Was that.. a pun? she dosent seem to be treating this situation very seriously*

"Welcome to the yakumo shrine" *She tilts her head at the groaning mess at the floor* "You look quite uncomfortable there let me fix that. Chen go get a chair for te young man" *As if by magic denji suddenly felt as good as new. full of energy and he has never felt more alive*

"That will be all for today. Remember my words- Im always watching you~" *She then dissapeared as quickly as she appeared the gap closing in front of his face. this wont be you see the last of her, youre sure of it*

"Im glad we could come to a agreement Hakuno." *You never told her your name* "Of course this has its upside my dear new subordinate. Should you ever find trouble i have my ways of... making it go away" *She points at your chest* "All you need to do, is call my name when the time comes~"

"im glad you understand." *Her reply is firm and short* "I do Believe its in your best interest to work with me" *her smile slowly fades* "Youre however a free man. And if you wont help me, ill have to lend my powers to someone else around here..." *Its a implied threat. Youre sure of it*

"Ran is my right hand. think of her as like my secretary. Chen is somewhat of my guard. Keeps troublemakers out of the shrine while Ran cleans the place. Alltough shes quite the troublemaker herself haaaah~" *She speaks of them with a certain fondess as if theyre more than just subordinates to her*

"I do belive you have... A toolset of sorts. Im always looking for capable people... all you have to do is help me out when i need it and i will make All your worries dissapear at the snap of a finger" *This dosent feel right. It feels like the very definition of a faustian bargain*

*For what feels like hours hes falling, eyes mocking him at every turn. what feels like staring trough his very soul. until... Crash. He lands at a shrine. Peaceful green everywhere. no signs of demons or threat just 2 women standing looking at him* "Ah There he is. hello denji. Im Yukari."

"You May adress me as Miss Yakumo. Im Quite interested in this little... "war" of yours- Im willing to lend you my help in exhange for... favours~" *Her smile is Cold and hollow. Something is seriously off about this lady. The gap she is coming out of keeps expanding, its eyes Staring at him.*

@hakuno-kishinami.bsky.social *as He walks the empty halls late at night he suddenly feels a presence behind him as he looks, a woman is coming out of a portal filled with eyes and with a soft voice she coos* "Don't you wish... you had more power- to protect whats dear to you? i can help...~"

You never know whos watching. If you stare in the void... maybe itll stare back

"Right right... not a chicken.. perhaps duck hits it more precisely?" *She tilts her head at him her smile not fading staying frozen in place* "And here I thought id get to have some fun. Fine then. You do owe me that meal." *She seems almost pouty? It's kinda hard to read her at times."

"Oh- How rude-" *She shakes her head in a dissapointed fashion* "Comparing me to a demon... Really now? And here i thought little old me was doing you a favour..." *her stare turns cold* "We can get violent. Go ahead see what happens." *its hard to tell trough the fan but is she... smiling?*

"Hmm? I can sense trouble..." *She looks around the cold and frozen over world around her Its been unusually cold for March* "This dosent bode well.. maybe i should Interfere-"

@pochitasvessel.bsky.social *Denj Suddenly felt a tug on his ankle, upon looking down a Rift in the ground had appeared full of eyes, Staring at him and a hand grabbing his ankle was pulling him in with inhuman strength*

"ah- It's a promise~" *she quickly unfolds her fan on her face to hide her shit eating grin* "You see Mūsu I can get you there in no time so we can get right to it-" *she waves her hand and a gap opens A red void full of staring eyes* "Lets go then-" *She pulls mousse with her*

Mousse Says Trans Rights

*Yukari lazes around in a gap watching people mingle from above* "Mhh... Youre all such busy people arent you-" *she says more to herself as shes too far up for anyone to hear her* "So full of life-" *She smiles at the world below her- it was so much more Exciting than gensokyo!*

@fantasyseal.bsky.social "Reimuuu~ " *Yukari Pops up at The Hakurei Shrine trough a gap* "Dont tell me youre slacking off-" *she tilts her head at reimu and makes a smug expression*

"They are my subordinates. And they're very good at what they do. Chen... Is a bit of a trouble maker tough.." *She sighs and puts her hand on her forehead as if recalling shenanigans from Chen* "She's but a child. She will grow up eventually"

-alice I have work tomorrow so I'm heading off for now. Replies will be starting again as soon as I'm awake

"Oh My! Youre quite pretty for your age arent you-" *She smirks a little* "mustve been out of touch for a while if youre just now catching up no?" *she tilts her head and puts her fan to her face in a thinking gesture* "Im quite young myself compared to you so i wouldnt know-"

"god forbid this old lady gets to enjoy a dinner.." *she starts sobbing on the spot, as if on command* "i dont have any money... i just wanted to eat.. Youre just gonna deny this me my dinner...?" *her voice is trembling and full of sorrow barely able to keep her eyes open from the tears*

"tch.. Youre so rude to your elders. You introduce yourself first. Its Yukari Yakumo." *She shakes her head in a dejected manner, her upper body hanging out of the Gap in reality* "I just wanted something to eat gosh.."

"Ah just picking up my Food- Dont mind me youll be able to go right back to buisness once i..." *another portal opens behind the box with her hand once again reaching for it* "Cant you recongize your customers... gosh.." *She says trying to talk to him to distract him from the thievery happening*

@thekingduck.bsky.social *as mousse was about to leave for delivery he felt a tug on the box, noticing theres a portal full of eyes looking at the food box, with hands reaching out for it. after the hands blindly tap around for a while a head comes out and spots the food box.*

"Oh really? That Simple? thats much more convinient than what i have..* *she seemed almost dejected for a moment but then Ran complimented her phone* "it is indeed quite stylish. it was a gift from a friend of mine!" *she seems quite pleased with the excitement and puts up a smug face*
