boundary 4 [action]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

[If you're hanging out near the border where the Garden makes way to the Dunes, you may find Yukari walking out from it, a smiling look of purpose on her face. She is uncharacteristically not holding a fan or an umbrella, but rather two clumps of sand, one in each hand.]

[Eventually she moves out to an empty enough space, holds her hands in front of her, and blows]

[Even as the sand swirls out from her hands, she begins to make odd gestures with her hands, almost as though she's casting some sort of spell.]

[The sand expands, gathers together, and eventually forms two things]

[The first is a small house that seems to blend Western and Eastern styles into a distinct whole, while still keeping a boundary between them. The only other thing that marks it out of the ordinary is a symbol above the door, that is of one of Yukari's gaps, a single eye from inside of it staring.]

[The other thing, sitting next to the house, appears to be a SUBWAY TRAIN. A giant gap opens under it and sinks down, vanishing.]

[She says only one word:]

Perfect.

[ooc: Please see here for the nature of the house. As for the subway, it's used for one of her spellcard attacks, but since it was made here it may get odd, ineffectual results.]

[She looks at the structure.] How is it used? This... magic sand? [She knows better than to ask how it works.]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

You just need to think of what you what, for the most part.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

You are so modest.

It must be more difficult than that.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

So you'd think, but I believe people have already made things without any prior training in magic.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

So you are a sorceress then, however?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

That would depend on your definition of sorcerer.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Ah, my apologies. Sorceress

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Still depends on your definition of the word.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

What would you say you are, and, more to point,

this sand is as clear as one's imagination?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

I am the youkai of borders.

If you put it that way.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm. Then, as an artist I should be able to use it excellently~!!



Now, just what does that mean? Youkai of borders?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Why not start with the simpler question of what is a youkai?

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Please go on with it.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

They are a name given to the vast majority of supernatural beings in Japan. Some are humans, animals, and objects that through long life or magic have become themselves supernatural. Others are the children of such beings. And still others are entire races of their own that are still classified as youkai.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Objects even?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Tsukumogami, formed from an inanimate object that is left alone for a hundred years.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Hm. Fascinating. Truly.



Do you have any more of this sand? I wish to see it.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

All gone.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

What would I be looking for?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

The wild places at the edge of this world.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Yes, but what does it look like?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

The one I went to was a beach without an ocean.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

... is that not a desert?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Deserts don't usually have the sounds of waves.

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Hmph, thanks, then. I'll find it with this information, no doubt.
