[A. Video]
[From the looks of things, Nue isn't dressed in her usual dark colors today. Instead, she's wearing the red and white uniform of a Hakurei shrine maiden, meaning she must have finally taken Reimu up on the punishment she had ordered a while back. The fact that the image's backdrop is the Hakurei shrine and she has a broom in hand makes this pretty obvious, too.]

[That isn't what she wants to talk about, though. She just got bored with sweeping, and there's been something else on her mind, too.]

So... Do you think that Pirate Queen is actually going to keep her word? [Her wings flick back and forth like tails behind her, the movement seeming somehow irritable. Apparently, she's incensed just thinking about it.] It's not like I gave her something I can't just make more of, but still. I'm going to be mad if she doesn't come back like she said she would.

[The truth is, Nue is just impatient. It's been a week and a half, maybe, and she's already getting antsy. But she asked for something she hopes will cheer Sanae up, so she's anxious to get her hands on it now.]


[B. Action]
[Alternately, you could come see her sweeping at the shrine in person. Or you could catch her around the fortress later in the day; she still isn't living at the shrine 24/7 now, so she has to go back there if she wants to change out of those stupid miko robes after she's done with her stupid chores.]

[In any case, people picking this option should BEWARE OF ATTACKING MISTLETOE!! Indicate whether or not you want youkai smooches in either an OOC note or a PM.]

[shanghaiworld]

I... well... it's hard doing something you don't want to do.

[undefines]

It's not like I want to do it any more than you do. But we're stuck here until then, right?

[shanghaiworld]

You're right... so, how do you want to do this?

[undefines]

Well, I mean, it's not like we have to kiss on the mouth, right? Just... Just come here!

[shanghaiworld]

Well, okay. [And Alice draws in closer.]

[undefines]

[Aaaand Nue gives her the most awkward peck on the cheek imaginable.]

[shanghaiworld]

[And immediately after that, Alice attempts a retreat backwards, lest a repeat of these events happen.]

[undefines]

[Same, in the opposite direction.]

[They're going to be shouting their conversations from several meters apart, now, huh.]

[shanghaiworld]

... So, as I was saying, the last time that happened, was around when I first showed up here, and I had never seen them before. Only heard a little about from someone else.

[undefines]

Do you mean the kissing plants? I never saw anything like them before coming here, either...

[shanghaiworld]

It's called a mistletoe. But yes, I never have either. It just isn't really something that showed up before.

I can't really remember who I was stuck with the first time... I think I remember a blue hood and they came from Gensokyo too?

[It was miss 'suddenly popular because of fighting game'.]

[undefines]

You can't remember? I'd think that'd be something that stuck out.

[...If the description were more specific, it might click for Nue, but alas.]

[shanghaiworld]

It was two years ago and they didn't stick around for long.

[undefines]

Still, if you kissed them...

[Alice, you hussy.]

[shanghaiworld]

Okay, fine. Let's see... [she takes a bit of time to delve her memories a bit.]

I think she was part of a shrine? Myon, maybe?

[She doesn't remember the name of Sanae's shrine either.]

[undefines]

[...Nue genuinely cannot tell whether Alice meant Myouren or Moriya by that. She makes a face.]

I don't think there's anyone like that at Sanae's shrine, so if you mean the Buddhist temple...

[shanghaiworld]

[If you show a face, you will be shown a face back!]

Maybe...? I've never actually went to either of those before. I don't think she had anything to do with Sanae though.

[undefines]

...It could have been Ichirin, I guess.

[But considering Alice's description, she isn't entirely willing to commit to the idea.]

[shanghaiworld]

Oh, I think that might have been her name, actually!

[undefines]

[SIGH...]

Figures that I missed her.

[shanghaiworld]

Miss doesn't even begin to describe the time frame between you two. Missing implies you were anywhere near close.

[undefines]

Still, it'd be nice to have someone from home that I know well.

[Even if her relationship with Ichirin is awkward at best.]

[shanghaiworld]

Considering the person around that I knew well is Reimu, I'd rather trade for someone I don't know well.

[undefines]

[...She chuckles.]

I think a lot of us would.

[shanghaiworld]

Now if I could trade myself away to go back, that would be ideal.
