    • [X] "Oh hi, wind lady!"

    "Oh hi, wind lady!" You give the newcomer a smile, which she returns.

    She shuffles slightly at your enthusiasm. "It's Pegasus, actually."

    "Okay, Peggy-saurus!" The young humans snicker and the woman sighs, but you don't know why. "But what do you mean by 'this' earth? This is the Outside World, isn't it?"

    The green-visored woman frowns at your question. "Hm. Are you from a pocket dimension or something? Uh, sorry, hidden world." You shrug. "Well, that… Hmm. I don't know where you're from. But there are lots of Earths, and each one is different. Maybe there's a way to your home on this Earth, or maybe you came from a different one."

    You give her a smile anyways. "That's okay, I'm sure Satori-sama or Orin will find me, they always do whenever I get lost!"
    Be unconcerned about being on a different world: 1 XP
    "Huh, well, you're welcome to come with us to the Protectorate building for the time being. We could get you set up with some housing for while you're here, too. So, how about it?" The heroine watches you expectantly.

    [ ] Response?

    [ ] Talk more? Leave?

    Well, you only really announced your presence last time, and they don't know you ate that guy. AND you were fairly friendly with the wards, which was a surprise to them (they thought you were a rogue, but instead of retreating like most rogues would do, you stayed and chatted them up). And you're obviously new, so they're pitching you their offer.

    Of course, the local leader might have different thoughts on the matter, but mainly because he knows something these people don't. Namely, your strange friend….
    This can only end in tears. And fire.
    Hiatus apology: 1d6=2
    XP from update: 1 + 2.
    Current XP: 9

    Again, anything you want to see in the store, just say so.

    • Hmm, 9 points.

    Either we save up for Advanced Pyromancy, or we splurge now and pick up Youkai Strength and Radiation Control.

    I'll look over what the spending plans were before the update.

    Anyway:

    [x] "Okay, miss Peggy-saurus!" You smiled and agreed to go with the Windy lady.
    -[x] Oh boy! You hope they have lots of tasty corpses!
     
    [X] ...Maybe later.
    -[X] Fly onwards!

    Must remain mysterious birdie. Also, Big Sister has cameras on Oshiro, so....
    Going into proctorate gets us one very nice, permanent apartment.

    [X] Ask if we can get a snack on the way.

    Cat pictures.
    Dodging the rain, or, at a later point in the story, bees.

    But... why not just burn the bees/evaporate the water?

    Physically-impossible danmaku dodging would probably be a pretty expensive skill.
    Remind me when you get more speed upgrades, something like that'd probably be close to the end of those.

    edit: Cat pictures, on the other hand.... Done. Well, one at least.

    When you speak of danmaku dodging in worm, I'm thinking

    "Who fires things? Blasters."

    "Who's the best blaster? Legend has pretty strong claim."

    "What's his special feat? Curving lasers."

    "Who else has curving lasers? Shinki."

    "A danmaku match between Shinki and Legend would look awesome."

    Though given how my brain jumps, it is more like danmakubulletslegendcurvevsshinkicool, expect shorter.

    I don't think we have any speed upgrades in the shop anyway... also, you could put speed upgrades in all of our sections (Magic/Body/Fire) really. Hmm... Now I'm thinking about Nasu style Reinforcement for upgrading our physical stats with Magic.

    [X] ...Maybe later.
    -[X] Fly onwards!

    Oh yeah, we were just talking to Ziz.
     
    Hmm... Interesting. Utsuho does not know what a Pegasus is.

    This is peculiar because, as we all know, Satori is the mistress of all animals, which obvious includes pegasi. So if there was even a single pegasus in hell, Utsuho would likely know it. And complain about how a human can't be a pegasus, that's just filly. Overall, this isn't too surprising, seeing as pegasi are Greek monsters after all.

    What's even more interesting is what she thought she heard instead. "Peggy-saurus". Meaning that Utsuho is used to names ending in -saurus.
    Meaning that Satori likely has 1+ non-avian dinosaurs amongst her pets.
    Meaning that said dinosaurs exist in Gensokyo.
    Meaning that there's a non-zero chance for Gensokyo to have a dinosaur youkai.

    So, when the "should other Touhou characters join" vote reopens, we should all vote yes, because if there's one thing the Worm-verse needs, it's magical dinosaurs.

    (alternatively: Omegahugger overthinks things again)

    Alternatively, Okuu was shown dinosaur books, because dinosaur books are awesome, duh, but not Greek mythology books.

    Greek mythology, along with most European/Western myths, have a noticeably weak presence in Gensokyo. It's entirely possible that they have their own pocket realm or something that keeps them safe from the waning magic of the outside world, like Mount Olympus or something.

    Dinosaur youkai would be pretty nifty, though. ZUN, hurry up!
