Welcome to Gaia! ::

"..."

Reimu hovered behind the strange girl assaulting her shrine, having just returned from a quick outing. A bag of groceries under each arm, she floated noiselessly within a yard's distance behind the girl's head, took a short breath, and--

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

Content that she more than likely shocked the girl senseless, Reimu circled the girl and touched down at foot of the Hakurei Shrine, laying down her spoils and poking her head inside. A cursory glance revealed that nothing seemed to be damaged, but that hardly reconciled the situation.

Returning her attention to the stranger, Reimu spun 180 degrees on her heel to face her, crossing her arms over her chest as she did. "Care to explain why you just attacked my shrine, unprovoked? Preferably before I find a reason to kick your a** and send you on your way? Actually, I rather like the second option, so take your time~"

From afar, Mizuki watched what happened at the Hakurei Shrine. It was a slow day for soul reaping for her today, so it was pretty much a break for her. Only after a short while of watching this go on did Mizuki get bored, so she decided to go see what was up. She created a purple seal beneath her, crossed her arms beneath her bust, and in a pop of purple smoke she vanished.

The purple seal then appeared on the ground and rotated clock-wise at a casual speed. from it, Mizuki appeared, her arms crossed underneath her bust. She looked from Rekinna to Reimu and back again. "One wrong move with that stuff," Mizuki said, "And I'll be taking your souls to the Sanzu River." She really didn't care that she appeared out of the blue and started talking, she was just bored.

Rekinna looked at the C-2 in her hand... "Better not let this go to waste, gonna make some fireworks."

Rekinna looks at Mizuki, then back at the shrine, then down the stairs, then at Mizuki, then back at the shrine again... Rekinna thought for a moment, then decided that there was nowhere else to use her energy on a dull day like this other than to make fireworks. So she set aside the C-2, blasting cap, and detonator on the ground beside her, and got to work conjuring a Zenitnaya Ustanovka-23-2 "Sergey". Then, Rekinna pulled some blank rounds out and stuffed the C-2 into the bullets.

"Now, I'm not sure if this will work... but..." Rekinna mumbled to Mizuki while stuffing something that looks like copper dust into the shells, "Please do get us out of here as soon as you see the ammo box catch fire or explode... Never mind, it will be too late when it explodes. I don't have enough energy to make a shield."

Then, after loading the Rekinna custom made 23x152HE-T rounds with coloring onto the ZU-23, she adjusted the gun to shoot at a 65 degree angle at the sky above the shrine. Rekinna paused for a few seconds to add a dramatic effect "COVER YOUR EARS!" Then she pulled the trigger, and held it down. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! The gun shook the ground the same way the Flash-Bang did, round after round flew into the sky. After about 15 rounds, Rekinna pressed the button on the detonator and a trail of blue sparks filled the sky... (though the sparks were barely visible due to it being in the middle of the day.)

"YEAH! THAT'S HOW A REAL RUSSIAN MAKES FIREWORKS!" Rekinna shouted, content with the noise and slightly visible blue sparks. Then fell off the seat, exhausted.

Just another wonderful day for Hanalli, flying through the air and smiling as she went. She heard a large blast coming from the Hakurei Shrine and it caught her attention.
"Hm? Someone having a Danmaku match?" she looked from above and then saw what seemed like fireworks coming up now. The noise and sparkles made her giggle.
"That was a surprise indeed! It must be a wonderful event!" Hanalli flew downwards towards the shrine entrance. She fixed her orange monk attire and walked up to the commotion.
She caught Reimu's presence from afar as usual...
But two more were there she did not recognize. A Shinigami and a human.
"My word, that was a spectacular show of explosives you had there. Tell me, what is the occasion all about for? Is Reimu finally getting married?" The Deity of joy asked the group. A big grin coming from the second question as meant to be a joke. Her height seemed similar to a certain Oni who tends to hang around the shrine at random as well. The aura she gave was of just happiness and joy.

Even as old as the Deity was, she still had no idea what some of these items were. She cocked her head at the device.
"Umm..What?" still having no clue about projectile weaponry. She watched this girl try to follow Reimu as if an apprentice of some sort.
"Why don't you take a break from pestering the Priestess and tell me your name first?" Hanalli pulled out a Joybun for Rekinna to enjoy as she introduced herself.
"I am Hanalli, The Youkai of Joy. Here, have a Joybun!" The bun was able to taste just like whatever you were craving or your favorite food no matter what it was. A special bread made by her own hands.
Yet no one could take her serious at times due to her size alone. But that smile can be contagious!

Reimu jumped slightly again at the reappearance of Mizuki, though she wasn't quite so startled this time. She stopped putting her groceries away and eyed the Shinigami, her hand resting on her hip. "Look you, it's bad enough I have to deal with that weird girl making all this racket. The last thing I need is someone like you," the Shrine Maiden approached Mizuki, poking the Shinigami's chest with her finger, "coming around here and showing off!" She crossed her arms under her own bust, as if trying to compete with the Shinigami features, standing on tip toe to match the taller woman's height. "How about this? Make yourself useful and get rid of everyone on the Shrine's grounds, and I'll treat you to tea and a snack."

Reimu nearly tipped over into Mizuki at the intrusion of Rekinna's voice, commenting something about Youkai and finding--wait what?! A boyfriend?! Quickly regaining her balance, Reimu turned on a dime, a slight blush breaking out across her face. "H-Hey! Youkai Exterminations are my job, in case you didn't know, so of course I'll be talking about them! And what do you mean, 'find a boyfriend'?! As if I don't have enough annoyances to deal with, like Marisa..."

She let out an exasperated sigh, and that answer seemed to have satisfied Rekinna, as the strange, gadget-toting woman left to speak with some other visitor to the Shrine.

"At least have the courtesy to leave a donation..!!"

Hanalli wanted to respond to the request for a duel, but obviously heard Mizuki's words.
"HEY! I am not the one who just went up and tossed fireworks for no reason. I was stopping by to see what was going on." Hanalli frowned in a playful like way. She was now interested in talking to Reimu and this shinigami more than fight with cards. Wait...did no one see a black patch move under Hanalli?
"Also, the last time I donated to the shrine it was tossed aside like some kind of stale bread!" she was referring to the time Hanalli offered a Joybun to the shrine, yet Reimu was too grumpy at the moment to fall for the false joy manipulation to taste her favorite food.
"I put my heart and soul into each Joybun, and you toss it into the woods like a brick!" The shadow below her started to 'boil' around her feet. Still undetected.
