Backdated to a day after saving the world

[Souji isn't around CO for a little while after his and Minato's world is restored. He has very important business.

Namely finishing the godsdamned fishing trip he was on when that whole mess hit him.

His communicator is on and accepting messages, though, sitting under an umbrella while he angles in the rain. If anyone needs him, he's there. Later when he swings back by Inaba to check up on his friends, though, he might be a little busy.]

*swiiiiish* *plunk*

Catfish... just like that one time...

Well if you don't mind me butting in on your alone time, sure.

Actually you and I both know this was for the Hisoutensoku reference alone

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

It's not so much alone time as I don't know anyone else who likes to fish.

Totally other important reasons. *nod nod*

[yokaiofnaps.livejournal.com]

I usually don't have the time for it... so I'll be there in a little bit.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

*waits, fishes*

*swiiiiiiish plunk*

*And Meiling shows up about half an hour later with what looks like an antique fishing rod - in used but very good condition.*

Anything biting?

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Small fry.

[Throws back an Amber Seema he just caught]

Honestly, I don't think I'd even keep a big one. We just saved these guys too, they deserve a chance to enjoy life for a little while.

*Swiiish plunk. Sit.*

Heh. Just catch and release then...

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Yep.

*minutes of quiet fishing*

Thanks a lot, by the way.

[yokaiofnaps.livejournal.com]

*She was juuust starting to look a little drowsy after just those few minutes.*

Uh? What for?

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

You were a good teammate, back when we were running around looking for pottery.

[yokaiofnaps.livejournal.com]

Ah, that.

*She waves it off.*

You were a good leader, and it was something really important so... I don't really need any compliments...

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Well maybe I'm too nice, then.

*swiiiiiiish*

[yokaiofnaps.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'd say there isn't such a thing. Be nice if Gensokyo had more really nice people.

Not that there aren't people I get along with and care about though.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Gensokyo seems like an interesting place.

[yokaiofnaps.livejournal.com]

That's one word for it. Gets a little too exciting sometimes, but I can't think of anywhere else in my world I'd rather live.

You like living somewhere as peaceful as this?

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do. Adventure's fine and everything, but this is pretty much ideal.

[yokaiofnaps.livejournal.com]

Mmhm. I think I could get used to it... though I'd probably miss the duels after a while.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Fighting's pretty common in Gensokyo, right?

[yokaiofnaps.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely. Most problems nowadays are solved with spell card duels, and people do them for fun too.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

How do spell cards work, anyway? I assume their not just metaphors, like...

*concentrates*

*floaty blue card appears in his hand for a second*

That.

[yokaiofnaps.livejournal.com]

Well... I use them even though I don't know exactly how they work, but you inscribe a specific description spell and its name onto a special sort of paper, and when you use them you can't use anything else until the spell ends.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

So it's more like...what are they called...Ofuda, but with magic spells instead of just a general idea of protection.

Oh, or scrolls or spellbooks from American roleplaying games.

[yokaiofnaps.livejournal.com]

Well I don't really know anything about those games, but I guess it's sorta like Ofuda. Reimu might even use those in some of her spell cards...
