Freewheeling Human[edit | edit source]

Reimu had her eyes closed, allowing the warm sunlight to bathe her.

"Yo, Reimu," interjected a nearby female voice, "Want me to help you put on suntan lotion?"

"No thanks, Marisa," responded Reimu, without movement, "Done it already."

"Chi," clicked Marisa with a scowl, "Anyway, I've got my report."

"Go ahead."

Marisa mouthed a few times, attempting to speak, "... I can't take you seriously in that get-up."

Reimu opened her eyes and lifted her sunglasses up to look at Marisa. Marisa was wearing her usual witch-like attire and carrying her trademark broomstick. In contrast, Reimu was wearing only a red bikini, lying on a deckchair under a parasol on the [[Hawaii (Native)|Template:Biography Hawaii (Native)]]an beach. "Just try your best."

"F-fine. The [[Lunarians (Touhou)|Template:Biography Lunarians (Touhou)]] and [[Eientei (Touhou)|Template:Biography Eientei (Touhou)]] are concerned about the [[moon (Native)|Template:Biography moon (Native)]]."

"Why? What's wrong with it?"

"It's moving off course and slowing down over the Yamaha territory. Both [[Hakugyokurou (Touhou)|Template:Biography Hakugyokurou (Touhou)]] and [[The Scarlet Devil Household (Touhou)|Template:Biography The Scarlet Devil Household (Touhou)]] have confirmed this. We all think Haruhi is doing this as we can't see any advantage Miku would have. And if this is Haruhi's doing, it's likely the moon is going to come down to [[Earth (Native)|Template:Biography Earth (Native)]], seeing how she is."

Reimu raised an eyebrow, "Would the moon even go through [[The Sonic Barrier (The Three Kingdoms)|Template:Biography The Sonic Barrier (The Three Kingdoms)]]?"

"We-we don't know. We've not been... able to test it out..." Marisa was struggling to speak.

Getting up, Reimu pushed Marisa into the deckchair under the parasol, "Take a seat. You're sweating so much and you've turned red from the heat."

Marisa, closed her eyes, still breathing heavily, "Yeah, the heat... Anyway, that huge giant with the four arms went up north away from our border. What was his name again?"

"Atlas, the Titan of Greek mythology, cursed forever to hold the heavens away from the earth."

"Yeah, about that. It seems to be a pretty good curse, seeing he doesn't do his job."

"In this world, the heavens hold itself up," Reimu sighed, "We better prepare for any repercussions Haruhi will bring upon the world."

"One last thing, Alice got released from prison just a moment ago."

Reimu frowned, "So it's been a year already..."

Marisa opened an eye, "As far as I recall, you actually originally gave her a ten year sentence, didn't you?"

"...Yes, I did."


"Okay, [[Cirno (Touhou)|Template:Biography Cirno (Touhou)]], it'll be best to just follow the coast," explained Ælious to Cirno at the dining table, tracing his finger along a map laid on it, "Then when you get close enough to the Barrier, follow that instead. Take plenty of food and drink when you cross Atlantic. Actually, would it be safe for you to get too close to the Barrier?"

"As far as I'm aware," explained Cirno, "As long as the Barrier's closed then there's no harm in touching it and it needs no more energy to keep it up. However, if it's open, a lot of energy is needed to maintain it as well to protect against impact. Which is why Reimu had Alice arrested since the Barrier wasn't closed at the time. So it should be fine. But I'll keep my distance just in case."

"Hmm... You don't happen to know why [[Gensokyo (The Three Kingdoms)|Template:Biography Gensokyo (The Three Kingdoms)]] stretches over to [[Australia (Native)|Template:Biography Australia (Native)]] do you?"

"Australia?" repeated Cirno with confusion, tilting her head to one side.

Ælious pointed to Australia on the map, "Here. Most Touhou locations are in America. The Scarlet Devil Mansion and [[The Forest of Magic (Touhou)|Template:Biography The Forest of Magic (Touhou)]] are in The Ivory Coast. I know Reimu tried to find her Shrine in [[Japan (Native)|Template:Biography Japan (Native)]]. But I don't see any reason why she attempted to take over Australia."

Cirno's face lit up as the question was clarified, "Ah, you see, Reimu wanted to take over the best vacation spots in the world that she had heard of. They were Highy, Flower, Candy Islands and Sydney." Ælious looked at [[KC (Final)|Template:Biography KC (Final)]] for her best guess at what Cirno was saying.

"[[Hawaii (Native)|Template:Biography Hawaii (Native)]], [[Florida (Native)|Template:Biography Florida (Native)]], Canary Islands and [[Sydney (Native)|Template:Biography Sydney (Native)]]," clarified KC, "Hawaii is now Gensokyo's capital with all natives deported to mainland America and is the location of [[Youkai Mountain (Touhou)|Template:Biography Youkai Mountain (Touhou)]]. Hakugyokurou is in Florida and was annexed along with the rest of United States. Australia was under Gensokyo control before Haruhi entered the conflict but because of the defence Reimu had stationed in Sydney, they managed to hold onto it. Yamaha stopped any northward advancement towards the Canary Islands as they had military units stationed there including Strike Witches and Helghast."

Ælious leaned back in his chair with a sigh, "All that for vacation spots?"

Cirno stroked the back of her head with a grin, "Well, despite how powerful we are, we're pretty lazy." She let out a hearty laugh.

"... That's not something you should be proud of..." He turned his head to Alice who had been sitting at table without a word, "Alice? Something on your mind?"

Alice had her head lowered, hands in her lap, "... I was wondering about public transport. Wouldn't it be easier for me to take a transatlantic flight or voyage to [[Africa] (Native)|{{Biography Africa] (Native)|name}}]]"

"You see, apparently, Reimu has something against aircraft so all non-military airports have been shut down. Naval industries suffered a lot of material losses during Doomsday and Gensokyo hasn't bothered to revive them. Everyone in [[Touhou (Series)|Template:Series Touhou]] can fly so they have no need... There's something else bothering you."

"Well... I was also wondering if there was anyone from my canon around."

"The problem with that question is that we don't know how many canons there are. You mention you come from Arcania City. However, in Arcania City there are plenty of apparently high profile people who don't know each other. I'd recommend not worrying about it. There's nothing we can do right now. But given how logic shattering some magic and technology we've seen, who knows."
