TEST DRIVE MEME

> The Park. Man, what a nice day out. Why not enjoy it? I'm sure -- shit, yep, there's some echo monsters.
> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, HOW FUN
> The most horribly kitschy Arts and Crafts Fair you can imagine.
> NEW YEARS. What better way to start out the new year than to learn that everything you know is a lie? Or if you are already acquainted with the network pass out some resolutions.
> A food fight has just broken out in the cafeteria. Join? Flee? The choice is yours alone.
> Wild Card! Make up your own.

Okay. New Years Resolutions.

I resolve to extend my morning practice by getting up 15 minutes earlier every day. I resolve to learn to actually make sushi so that I can stop being a waitress. I resolve to actually join a club this year, if I can find the time for it.

And, um.

[For the spiritually sensitive, there is an orb-shaped ghost drifting around behind Youmu on camera.]

I resolve to find an exorcist, because apparently I'm haunted now.


-2- [Action]

[Outdoors! A sudden rainy day! A torrential downpour!]

[In the rain is a girl walking, or possibly trudging, along, drenched to the bone, hair plastered to her face. No umbrella. She looks... resigned, really.]

Yes, I suppose it has been this kind of a day, hasn't it.

[gogoghostpowers]

Ha ha, very funny, Youmu. Just because you were at my house for New Year's doesn't mean I'm haunting you.

...and even if I was, I don't think calling an exorcist on me would be a really good idea.

[six_realms_sword]

No, I mean... there's a ghost. Following me around. I can see it.

[gogoghostpowers]

....Oh. [he looks closer at the video and sees the white orb behind her.] Oh.

Uhhhh. Huh. That doesn't look like any ghost I've ever seen before. Okay, uh. Have you...tried talking to it?

[six_realms_sword]

Is that something that might work? It doesn't have any ears or mouth.

[gogoghostpowers]

Maybe they're...hidden?

It can't hurt to try, right?

[six_realms_sword]

I will try to communicate with it.

[Youmu turns around and confers quietly with the ghost for a few seconds, both in English and Japanese. It... sort of bobs around a bit.]

...I have no idea if that worked or not.

[gogoghostpowers]

...Can you tell it to like--bob faster if it understands you?

[Hey Youmu. Reimu is a shrine maiden. Exorcisms are kind of one of her things.

also there's something weirdly familiar about that thing. Hmm....]

Are you sure that's a good idea? If it's from an echo or something, exorcising it might not even work.

[She's just staring at the weird orb shaped ghost thing curiously.]

[six_realms_sword]

Even if it doesn't work, I'm right back where I started. Also, it's very unnerving having a ghost looking over my shoulder all the time.

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

I guess that's true. I don't exactly blame you. If you want, I could at least take a look at it. Not sure how much I could do though.
