1st Star [video]

[cleaningstop]

[The vine has suddenly decided to tune in to its newest arrival!

... a redhead that seems to be sleeping comfortably on the ground. So comfortably that she is actually snoring and... is that drool on the side of her mouth? Yes. Yes it is.

Wait, it looks like she’s finally going to wake up!]

Don’t you worry anymore! I, Hong Meiling, will not let anything happen to this land I love!

[Or it could be that she’s decided to talk in her sleep.]

As long as I remain on guard, no harm will befall Gensokyo and its residents.

[What is she even dreaming about? Must be something pretty exciting, given how she’s raising her fist in the air. Fortunately, she wakes up before embarrassing herself any further.

She sits up, eyes half open, looking positively groggy.]

... Huh?

[Meiling finally begins to realize that something isn’t quite right.]

This isn’t the mansion. [An astounding observation.] Where is...?

Mistress? Lady Sakuya?

Where did you all go?!

[Looking more and more worried now.]

I-I wasn’t sleeping or slacking off! Honest!

[... right.]

Why am I wearing this dress?

[ooc: tags will be slower than normal for me but I shall get to them as soon as I can!]

[cleaningstop]

Another Incident already, is it?

Well, we'll just have to get to the bottom of this!

[ofnovalue]

I wish I knew more to offer.

[cleaningstop]

Don't you worry about that!

Now that I'm here, it's only a matter of time before we find a way out.

[right.]

[ofnovalue]

-Whoah, this lady is awesome.-

You muse be a truly great champion to say such a thing with that level of confidence, m'lady.

[cleaningstop]

[Oh. Well then!]

Heh, of course! You're actually speaking to Hong Meiling, gatekeeper for none other than the Scarlet Devil!

[ofnovalue]

I beg your pardon, fair porter, but... Scarlet Devil?

[cleaningstop]

Yes, the one and only! Have you heard of her before?

[ofnovalue]

Not at all... With a name like that, they must be a great and mighty warrior.

[cleaningstop]

But of course! There's no one else I would rather serve.

[ofnovalue]

And to have such a porter... I should like to meet your master.

[cleaningstop]

If she ever ends up here, I'd be happy to introduce you to her!

Although...

[ofnovalue]

Although?

[cleaningstop]

It would be wise to wait until she has a decent meal.
