Wasted time is not a luxury I can afford.

[Though she's been, as far as she can tell, left stranded on an unfamiliar planet, Samus speaks calmly, her voice carrying the same kind of resolve that has seen her through each of her missions.]

If anybody can truly listen to this broadcast... My name is Samus Aran and I am hereby requesting information on my current location. I’ve read the scrolls, but have little interest in what they have to say. [And the felines didn’t know any of the answers to her questions.

Protected? Her? The idea is nothing short of ridiculous. Insulting, even.]

Ideally, I would prefer to be told of the planet’s name and coordinates, but most importantly: the fate of my ship, and how to return to it.

[She can make due with at least that much. Simple as it would be, there was still a report to make to the Galactic Federation. The Metroids and Mother Brain were no more, exterminated by her hands. And the baby... It too had perished...]

Any assistance and information that can be given would be appreciated.

[Ideally...

Now if only she could shake away the feeling that getting out of this mess wasn't going to be easy. Then again, when was it ever?

By her standards, these surroundings were nothing less than archaic.

Did ships even exist on this planet?]

A master of barrier?

[nekomikoreimu.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'm Reimu Hakurei, and my ancestors made the Hakurei barrier, and it is my job to keep it up.

[plasmabeam.livejournal.com]

And if you don't?

[nekomikoreimu.livejournal.com]

The barrier will go down, and Youkai will be freed upon the modern world of Japan. Though honestly, that might be worse for them then the humans. Gensokyo doesn't only protect modern humans from youkai, it protects Youkai from humans and their modern weapons.

[plasmabeam.livejournal.com]

Youkai?

[nekomikoreimu.livejournal.com]

Japanese for Demons and monsters.

[plasmabeam.livejournal.com]

Can't they just be eliminated?

[nekomikoreimu.livejournal.com]

Not really. While they are demons and like to eat people, they are still important for Gensokyo and life itself. That and also because killing a Youkai is much harder then it seems, given some of the powers they have. A Vampire has the power of Fate. An Oni has the power of Density. A Hell Raven has the power of Nuclear Fusion. And Yukari has the power of Boarders.

[plasmabeam.livejournal.com]

I have to wonder what keeps them from running out of control, among other things. Especially the one with nuclear fusion.

[nekomikoreimu.livejournal.com]

That would be me. It's the Hakurei Shrine Maidens job to stop all incidents.

[plasmabeam.livejournal.com]

Seems like quite the responsibility for just a Shrine Maiden.

[nekomikoreimu.livejournal.com]

I handle it just fine. Sometimes my witch Friend Marisa tags along to help as well, so it's not too bad.

[plasmabeam.livejournal.com]

A witch friend.

[nekomikoreimu.livejournal.com]

Yes, a witch friend. Something wrong with that?

[plasmabeam.livejournal.com]

I didn't know that witches existed in the first place.

[nekomikoreimu.livejournal.com]

Well they do, along with Vampires, Moon Rabbits, Tengu, Hell Crows, and many other types of demons and other magical creatures.

[plasmabeam.livejournal.com]

That's quite the variety.

[nekomikoreimu.livejournal.com]

And there are a lot more.

[plasmabeam.livejournal.com]

And you "handle" all of them just fine?

[nekomikoreimu.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. Been doing this for years now.

[plasmabeam.livejournal.com]

Just you?
