Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a discussion threadfor the popular forum roleplay of the same name. Here we shall discuss the numerous things that make the setting tick, out-of-character chatting, plot threads, whether the game should get its own page, etc.

From what I've seen the characters of Touhou are beginning to change. Chief among them is Eirin, who seems to have fully realised how vulnerable her kind is to the powers brought onto her world. Further, and perhaps most importantly, she realises that change is inevitable within herself, and on Gensokyo.

Yes, that was a scary bit of Character Development.

There's a good reason for her being so much more emotional now, however. As it is only her soul that now inhabits the Rubric Marine, much of her cold rationalism is left in her body with the sentient Gakoro. Which is the same reason Gakoro is so cold and impassive, because it only observes the facts and acts accordingly.

...I suppose I should explain Gakoro, though. Mainly, it's a...personality, a package of memories and sentience that Eirin prepared in case anyone ever stole her soul. She has never tested it before now, however, and it's slowly starting to creep her out...

...oh, and it's nothing Canon. It's just Eirin's medical knowledge ramped Up to Eleven, with a bit of word-play concerning her name.

Well, shit does tend to change when you have a full scale Imperial crusade, a tyranid hive fleet, several chaos fleets and an Ork Waaagh all struggling over your planet...

Don't forget the Necrons. They're responsible for destroying a quarter(roughly) of the plant life: The Snow-Covered Forest is nothing but the petrified husks of dead trees and ice; The Human Village is even worse, converted into a lifeless forward base for their ghoulish efforts. They've set up several of their buildings there, now.

I'm still wondering what I should do to poor Patchouli Knowledge: Should I have her corrupted by Chaos, brought to her Library by the dead Khornates? Sealed within her library, terrified by something utterly beyond her formidable database? Frantically trying to find something to make the Orkz go away, and failing?

I'm thinking of having the Swarmlord speak. Think of the conversation possibilities!

I'm thinking of having its voice sound like Zophar's from Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete.

^^ I'd go with B) Sealed herself in the Library.

^Same here.

B or C. Leaning toward C. But then again, I have never been a major fan of Touhou.

I say B. Also, though I have actually played the games quite a bit, I only have cursory knowledge of the Touhou characters and setting.

B or C, I say.

So, Lemurian brought this up to me last night—do you think that the thread should be moved from Forum Games to the Roleplaying Section?

It probably should, seeing how things have grown a little more serious lately.

^I am still working out how to fit Indrick Boreale, his speech, and Kharn's "swellness" into this.

YOU MUST BRING IN BOREALE. The potential lulz to be had from the other characters ridiculing him is endless. You could always have him use his beloved STEEL REHN tactic.

Yes. THEY ARE REDDEH TAH DEEP STRIKE INTAH ENEMEH TERREHTOREH.

SPESS MEHREENS! THERE IS TIME TO BE LOST! WE KNOW OWAH DUTY AND WE WILL DO IT! WE ARE THE EMPRAH'S FUHREH!

Okay, bringing him in with the Blood Ravens now. This is too freakin' good to be missed. Where should he end up?

Very good question...what's left that hasn't been completely destroyed?

Well, I was more thinking "where would result in maximum hilarity but would actually make sense for him to land".

Scarlet Devil Mansion, maybe?

Inspirational flashback to the rescue!

Obviously, he should land in the Misty Lake.

You know, I just can't get Kharn to work as well as I'd hoped. If anybody wants to take him, please do so, I'll keep to the Baneblade and the Orks.

Does anyone have any objections?

My next next post will see Indrick planetside, so be quick. The Scarlet Devil Mansion is infested with Tyranids and Orks, right?

Also, I swear we need to bring Vance Motherfucking Stubbs into this at some point. As well as the tactical geniu-

CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

EDIT: Misty Lake? Can you describe it?

And Kharn? I may take him.

I seem to have all the memetic characters here...

Large body of freshwater, quite cold due to the fairies living there, close to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

And Eirin is turning hammy as well. The invaders are a bad influence.

Vance Motherfucking Stubbs could be the general of the regiment Arcturus and his lot is currently attached to.
