ACTION

[Yuka does not start with a Vine call. No, that doesn't seem very important right now.

The first indication anyone will see of the newest guest of the gardens is Yuka herself, still in her provided clothing, following her thread. This is important, she can feel it. There's something very important on the other end of this thread.

Of course, she is absolutely right. Finishing her journey, Yuka kneels down in front of the oversized rose to which she is linked, smiling faintly.]

My, my. What a unique blossom.

I can tell that you've been neglected. Are you the reason that I'm here?


[[Threads can be while she's following the string or while she's talking to her flower.]]

[There is another young woman not far off, tending to her own (well cared-for) flower. She looks up when she notices someone nearby; judging by her attire, she's most likely a newbie.

So Fate stands, brushes any dirt off her hands, and approaches Yuka with a smile.]

Hello... you're new here, aren't you?

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

[Yuka looks to Fate's flower, then to her.]

I suppose I might be.

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

Then I suppose I should welcome you. You're currently in a place called the Gardens, ruled over by a woman named the Queen of Hearts. Things can be... pretty crazy sometimes, but it's not a completely horrible place.

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

I don't think any place could look like this and be completely horrible.

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

I agree. It's not even the Gardens' fault, really. All the bad things that have happened so far were because of outside meddling.

So... do you have any questions? Many things about this place are still a mystery, but I'll do my best to answer.

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

Questions... it might be easier to list the things I don't have questions about.

Something tells me you don't have answers to the important ones, though.

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

You would be correct. I'm sorry... But I'd really like to try to answer any other questions you might have.

While she's folliowing the string. [1/???]

[Oh, it's Yuka]

[It's Yuka]

[Are you kidding me?]

[Is there some bad karma that she forgot to gap away? Do four of the most dangerous individuals in Gensokyo all have to be here...with no shrine maiden or witch to deal with them?]

[She does NOT have time for this]

[But there's not much choice]

Kazami Yuka. How utterly appropriate that you should arrive just now.

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

Why's that, now?

While following the string

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

You sure like following red strings. Your clothes aren't at the end of it, you know?

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

I feel like there's something important at the end of it, regardless.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

It's just a flower. Nothing important.

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

Ah, but a flower is very important.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

No, flowers are pretty useless, I'd say. Who cares for flowers?

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

If you don't watch what you say, somebody might get angry.

I'll take during the talk

[It sure is a nice day. It could be better, but it's well enough. But what's this? Someone has just found a flower and is asking questions. Alice sure feels that helping would be best.

It sure would have been greater if she managed to recognize who this was from behind though.]

No, that's something recent. One day, everyone suddenly woke up with a string attached to them which led to a flower. Just like the rest of us, you're here for some other reason.

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, look who it is.]

Unless you know the real reason we're here, you can't be sure that it wasn't for this.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

[Oh. It's Yuka. Alice currently hates life.]

... The one who knows... the 'Queen', hasn't really said...

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

Have you asked?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

No one has had the chance. She doesn't show herself much.

[She is so much on edge right now.]

[autumn-crocus.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Yuka knows.]

I wonder what it would take to get her attention.
