An Interested Party Part 0: Welcome to Gensokyo !2VXsQ1mzKI 2023/07/28 (Fri) 17:13 No. 69107 [Reply] ▼
Dear Reader.
If your reading this, then...let's just say you're not in the place you call home anymore.
I can't say too much, but let's just say that I'm an interested party wanting to help.
I wanted to write this message to help you in this little prediciment.

Don't question that, please. That is WHOLE 'nother can of worms.
Okay, so concerning you...let's just say you should probably find somewhere to stay before nightfall.
I mean, hopefully, you're not actually reading this in the middle of the night, In middle of freaking-who-knows-which-part-
of-Gensokyo. And if you are...well just keep your chin up. Just try not to let any youkai find you at night.
Let's just say humans need to be wary of these beast. Especially humans who ca
