[Hark, what lies in the mirror? Why it's just Alice. She's holding one of those medals that came from the wolves after the flower light show. She has only now decided to give a real look at one.]

Odd little thing. I would have thought grave markers would be more fitting. But I don't know plant culture, so who knows. It's still a little grim to keep around, and a bronze medal seems just a little bit insulting.

... Actually, why a bronze medal in the first place? Aren't these sporting events?

[She then focuses her attention on the mirror, and thus, to everyone else.]

Excuse me, but for anyone who got a medal, did any of you get silver or gold?

I don't really think this fits the style here.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

I guess not.

Well, there's a lot that doesn't make sense around here.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Is it too much to ask for consistency?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

You'd have to ask the Queen.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Could I not and say that I did? That sounds like it could go rather badly.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

I don't know how else you're going to get the Queen to be consistent...

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

One option is to forget about it and not bother.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

The Queen isn't actually that bad to talk to, though. She's just... weird.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

You're probably better with people than I am.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Even so, besides the whole kidnapping us and making stupid mistakes, she's a nice person, so I don't think you have to worry about upsetting her.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Even if I outright called her stupid to her face?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

I think I've heard people being a lot more uh... rude with how they talk to her than just calling her stupid.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Do you know how that went?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Her worst reaction would just be acting a little indignant.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Still, getting a hold of her is another matter entirely.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's that. And getting her to listen long enough, too.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

I've known moon princesses you could have better attendance with.

[Even if you just barge into the place uninvited sometimes.]

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Moon princesses?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

A princess from the moon?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

You have princesses from the moon in Gensokyo?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

And rabbits.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

... now that I think about it, I think I remember hearing legends about moon rabbits and a princess from the moon.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

What was it about?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

The moon princess... uh... I think her name was Kaguya-hime? And there was something about a bamboo cutter.

I don't remember much about moon rabbits except that they make mochi.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... Are you serious?
