Welcome to Gaia! ::

A slender woman made her ways through the trees. Sh brushed against the tall trunks of the trees as she walked. She was not looking for anything in particular, she was quite simply wandering Gensokyo's forest. Somewhere deep in her mind, the woman hoped she'd find something about herself here. But she hoped that everywhere. Of course, she had little idea of what here was.

The sun made it's way through the leaves of the trees, warming the woman's body as she passed under them. "It's sort of... refreshing in the forest..." The woman said to herself, softly. She looked up at the trees around her, and how serene the world around her seemed. "What was this forest called again? Forest of Magic? Hmm..." The woman continued, starting to walk again. "I guess you can sense magic in the air here..." The woman thought to herself. She did enjoy the landscape here, it was very peaceful and soothing.

Finding a stump in her path, the woman turned around and placed herself on it. "Ahh... I wonder if there's anything about me hidden in these trees?" The woman wondered to herself, though she highly doubted it. She the giggled and looked up at the leaves above her as they rustled in a gentle breeze. "I would've loved to explore these woods as a little girl. But that wouldn't be for the best." The leaves parted occasionally, revealing a nice blue sky, dotted only by a touch of clouds. The woman let out a small sigh. "A little longer and then I'll start off again." She said to herself.

The silence of the forest was broken by a girls shout. It surprised the woman enough to make her jump off the stump she was sitting on and fall to the forest floor. "Aahh!" The woman shouted in surprise as she fell. She saw two newcomers and assumed they meant no harm, especially since they wouldn't have shouted a greeting at her if they did. "O-oh, hello." The woman greeted back as she stood back up, dusting off her blue dress. "I'm sorry for the reaction, I was really focused on the forest and I guess I sort of zoned out." The woman apologized.

She took a better look at the two now that she was standing. One seemed rather young, presumably the one that shouted at her, and one seemed older, even in her actions as she tried to calm down the younger one. "Umm, would it be bad if I asked who you two are?" the woman asked them. She did have no idea who the two were, so she felt it was a fair question.

The seemingly older of the two newcomers was the first to speak. She first asked for the woman to excuse her little friend's behavior before introducing both herself and her friend. The older one was Ruchia, while the little one was Hikari. After their introductions, Hikari apologized for her rudeness, to which the woman shook her head, her long pig tails bouncing gently. "Oh no, I'm mostly to blame." She explained. "I wasn't paying attention to what was around me, so I wasn't ready for such an out burst." The woman giggled.

Hikari was rather fast to ask the woman for her name. That's what the woman assumed she meant when she asked who are you. "My name," The woman began, placing a hand to her chest as she did. "Is Rialce Lavinrac." With her name given, Rialce moved her hand from her chest and gripped her skirt, lifting it in a curtsy. Looking back up at the two, she inquired, "What has brought you two to the Forest of Magic? Are you here to admire the scenery?" Rialce held her hand out, as if showcasing the forest around them, before dropping it back to her side as she continued. "Or are you here for other purposes?"

"What an isolated place... " - said Yoshika, brushing a branch away. It almost hit her in the face.
She is wandering alone. Lady Seiga let her take this day off, and the jiang-shi decided to explore Gensokyo. This is her first time in the Forest of Magic.
Some people are talking not far from Yoshika - she immediately stops and starts listening.
"Hikari, Ruchia, Rialce... never heard these names. Lady Seiga will be pleased if i get some information about them!" - she thinks. "I'll just stay there and listen to their conversation."
But when she tries to get closer to the three people, the clumsy hopping corpse hits her leg in a stone, falls over and starts to roll in the grass.
A stump stops her from going further - the one Rialce was sitting on.
Yoshika knocked out herself for a while.

Yoshika slowly opens her eyes, noticing that she's not lying on the ground anymore. She panics and tries to escape from Ruchia's arms.
"A-aah! What happened? Why were you carrying me?" - she shouted

"Oh, her name is Kaku Seiga. And I'm her loyal jiang-shi, Yoshika. Miyako Yoshika. N-nice to meet you!"
The the hopping corpse remembered what she wanted to do: to spy on the strangers.
"And you are Ruchia and Hikari, right? What are you doing there?"
The kyonshi just revealed that she was watching them a while ago. Of course the she didn't notice this - Yoshika isn't the smartest one in Gensokyo.

"Miss Margatroid, the dollmaker, right? One day I saw her visiting Eirin's store. She was buying those dream pills... butterfly dream pills?" Yoshika stroked her chin.
"I followed her and asked about these pills, but she sent me away and disappeared into the Forest. I'm still curious about that medicine..."
After some silent seconds, the kyonshi asked:
"Do you know where her house is?"
