[She watched him as he went over and shrugged.]

To answer your real question... I don't care. I say I do, because I'm jealous of them in their pretty little world but I don't have a place there. My place is at my bridge. Forgotten or remembered. Just like a Tsukumogami's place is to be used in someone's hand. Not forgotten.

[forethinking]

It sounds like a complicated world.

(That being said, there is a certain fondness in Ren towards beings as such. It reminds him of the Twins.

This world has Parsee and Cole and both of them fascinate Ren in different ways, almost like they're opposites...)

[bridge_princess]

It's complicated, but it's simple. On an individual level, everyone knows their place. There's very little confusion.

...

Unless someone gets bored. Then things get messy. Bored youkai are the worst. [Ugh.] The last time the flower youkai thought people were ignoring her, it got really weird.

[They really were basically opposites. Despite world differences.]

[forethinking]

... What happened?

(Do they take it out upstairs or just... Chaos in hell?)

[bridge_princess]

What do you think happened? Flowers grew everywhere. Even places that they shouldn't. Started messing with things, messing with people. Eventually there's just too many flowers.

Yuuka's actually a tiny bit scary, despite what you'd think for a flower youkai. She's old and has no ethics.

[forethinking]

(Aside from the unpleasantry of having to step on flowers, he can't really think of any other terrible incident, except for...)

Pollen allergies? That was it?

[bridge_princess]

Uh... you wish it was just the hell of a thousand sneezes. Look, when I say she could make flowers grow anywhere, I mean anywhere. If that woman wanted to make a sunflower the size of a building and grow a field of them in the middle of town to wreck it because it annoyed her? She absolutely could.

And she was bored, so there were flowers absolutely, positively fucking everywhere. It got crazy after a while.

[forethinking]

... How did you manage it?

(You, as in, everyone. He doesn't really see Parsee taking matters into her own hands as is.)

[bridge_princess]

Oh, the two queen annoying nosey bitches of my world, Reimu and Marisa, probably got off their lazy asses and kicked Yuuka around until she started behaving again. That's how roughly 3/4 of the problems get resolved....

The scariest youkai in the world yawns, wakes up, pokes Reimu until she gets tired of being pestered, she gets off her lazy ass, knocks every youkai in her path out of the way until she blunders into the problem, and then promptly beats it senseless with magic until it behaves. Or Marisa gets bored and thinks she can gain something from it.

Rinse. Repeat. [She muttered that, shaking her head in irritation.] I know that from experience. I was "In the way" once.

[She totally picked a fight.]

[forethinking]

(Sorry, he can't not laugh at annoying nosey bitches.

He listens to the tales, though, giving nods of acknowledgement. Sounds a little bit of a nightmare, specially with the repetition... And then she drops interesting information. He can't let that go.)

How so?

[bridge_princess]

How so what?

[Pause. Oh wait? That whole stupid shit?!? Uuuuuugh.]

That freaking idiot Marisa came tearing down with an arrogant oni I knew from the old days. I think the Kappa were in an uproar or some garbage, and someone had managed to give the crazy Raven girl down in hell a major upgrade in power. So, they were investigating.

I didn't find out any of this crap until way after. They just barged down there, Suika and I got into it... again and I ended up in a fight with her. And of course Marisa has to go and show off all those damned witch powers and beat me up like the small fry she thinks I am.

uuuuuuugh. Like I said. I swear half our crap's because someone's bored.

[So, her version of events wasn't entirely accurate, but it was close at the very least?]

[forethinking]

... Wild.

(It's really all he can muster... Sorry...)

... At least it's quiet here...?

[bridge_princess]

yeah... what you get when all the spirits of the world get stuck in one little valley. They get bored and stupid.

[She sighed.]

You're right. It IS quiet here. You people are much less ... active. I think I like that.

[forethinking]

Or maybe there isn't enough to be active about.

[bridge_princess]

...

Are you bored, Ren?

[Oh, that was a dangerous look she had on her face]

[forethinking]

At the moment, no. In general, a little.

(The look doesn't scare him!)

[bridge_princess]

Haha... [She laughed and closed her eyes.] That boredom's going to get you in trouble when this place finally graduates to causing trouble. You realize that, don't you?

[forethinking]

Unsurprisingly so.

[bridge_princess]

Well, it's no skin off my hide if you get yourself in over your head. Your call in the end, after all.
