second trauma [video]

[unpleasantries]

[This time Satori is a little less careful with the camera, because she's starting to get used to the stares and the questions on the street about the eye on her chest, so it's in full view.

The eye, although anyone who appears in the camera will likely be out of its range, stares unblinkingly into it.

No, really. No matter how long you watch it, it doesn't blink.

Ever.]

I don't suppose any of you know anything about a Palace of the Earth Spirits?

[She leaves it at that and doesn't mention why she's asking, though.]

Comments

[unpleasantries]

Oh, did you? I'm not sure whether or not to take solace in that.

[wontdieifkilled]

What's that supposed to mean?

[unpleasantries]

Exactly what it sounds like.

[wontdieifkilled]

That doesn't tell me enough.

[unpleasantries]

Just because you can't figure out what I mean doesn't mean I haven't given you enough information.

[wontdieifkilled]

And you don't feel like doing the polite thing, apparently.

[unpleasantries]

You were exceptionally unhelpful last time we talked, I'm merely returning the favor.

[wontdieifkilled]

You're also turning it up to eleven.

[unpleasantries]

I beg your pardon?

[Guess who's never heard that saying before! It's hard to find things to turn up to eleven in Gensokyo...]

[wontdieifkilled]

...You know, like cranking it up a notch, only several notches instead of just one.

[unpleasantries]

[There's a long pause.]

I'll just look it up later.
