I just realized. I've got a huge assed sword and nothing to do with it.

Kind of want to cut some meat with it. I think he'd yell. I think it'd be kind of hot.

[There's a girl with horns sipping out of her gourd]

[Sad thing is that's not the weirdest thing she's seen all her life anymore.]

Are you River's baby?

[oni-pandemonium.livejournal.com]

Who?

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

I guess that's a no. Who are you then?

[oni-pandemonium.livejournal.com]

Suika Ibuki, oni deva of the mountain!

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

You're joking right?

[oni-pandemonium.livejournal.com]

We oni don't lie.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

So you're a sort of faerie?

[oni-pandemonium.livejournal.com]

What? No!

We're like...what's the word..."ogres"?

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

... that's a type of faerie.

[oni-pandemonium.livejournal.com]

If anything, fairies are more like a type of youkai.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

What's a youkai?

[oni-pandemonium.livejournal.com]

[Westerners] The magical creatures of Japan!

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

So anything that's magical in Japan is called a youkai?

[starfishwuvu.livejournal.com]

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Right, thanks ... or something.

[foundhermiracle.livejournal.com]

Ah- be careful with that...

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

... Rika?

[foundhermiracle.livejournal.com]

...

I'm sorry. But have we met?

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Sorry. You look like someone. Older, but otherwise pretty close.

[foundhermiracle.livejournal.com]

And her name is Rika too?

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

What's your last name?

[foundhermiracle.livejournal.com]

What a coincidence.

Furude. Furude Rika.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Do you have a younger sister or something?

[foundhermiracle.livejournal.com]

Uh... no. I'm an only child.

[oni-pandemonium.livejournal.com]

Well, not everything. There's gods, and spirits, and ghosts, and demons, and magicians and shrine maidens that are human.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Weird. Then you have to be the same Rika, but a different one.

You're not from Discedo right?

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Right. I think faerie is used for a different sort of group.

[foundhermiracle.livejournal.com]

The same but different?

I'm not. This is the first time I've been here.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

That explains it. We have a Rika here. She's you, just younger, and in Discedo. And dating Cecile.

[foundhermiracle.livejournal.com]

...uhm. I don't remember dating anyone when I was smaller.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't. You forget all about this place when you leave. At least that's what I was told.

[oni-pandemonium.livejournal.com]

Same with youkai.

The things we call fairies are called "yousei" in Japanese, but I'm pretty sure they're what most Westerners think of as fairies.

[foundhermiracle.livejournal.com]

That's... kind of sad...

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Oh. Alright.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It is.

It's weird. You start to worry about the people you have here and then you stop wanting to go home as much. Because you don't want to lose them.

[oni-pandemonium.livejournal.com]

Say, what's your name?

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Kaye. And you're Suika?

[oni-pandemonium.livejournal.com]

Yup!

Want some sake?

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

Uh, sure.

[oni-pandemonium.livejournal.com]

Hands over her gourd.

[piskiestix.livejournal.com]

[Blinks ... then takes a swig. It wasn't half bad. Kind of plumby?]
