So this "Rogue Trader" thing apparently has nothing to do with Sarbanes-Oxley

I've been having this casual thing with this intern chap from down the street. (Not OUR intern. That doesn't actually fly here.) Anyway, at one point I casually ask whey he won't schedule anything on Saturdays, and I can immediately tell he doesn't want to say anything. So I yank his chain a bit, and eventually he says he has a "role playing group." When I express surprise at not being invited, he looks even more confused. Turns out this version of roleplaying has nothing to do with "I'm a bad girl who needs smiting."

So apparently he goes to this other fellow's apartment, with some other people, and they roll dice, and things? Anyway, I'm going next Saturday. Anyone know about this? How do I win? More importantly, how do I dress? I mean, there's informal and then there's informal and then there's handcuffs, you know?

Oh I shouldn't need to bother you, I can just bring Ran with me. If anyone can get Chen to behave, it would be her. I'll be there in an hour or so, just need to get dressed and disguise myself.

I'm really sorry for all of this by the way.

it's fine, and hey, my coat isn't in shreds like i expected it to be. nice job.

by the way, exactly how far does the whole yukari thing go? like could she conceivably summon up any touhou charachter? because we have a resonant in town who managed to focus yukari enough to copy her border-fuckery. i haven't seen him since teusday, and i've heard talk of a "spirit samurai" who's description exactly matches youmu, down to the ghost half. just want to know what i should be ready for.

From what I've been able to tell, she's practically omnipotent. If she's at all serious about her role in our project, she'll have to be, or else there's no way we can pull this off.

I highly doubt anyone could copy her power exactly unless she willingly allowed them to, and even if they did she'd certainly limit their ability in some way to use them so that they couldn't pose a threat to her. It wouldn't surprise me if she's manipulating that person for whatever reason.

As for Youmu, yes, that's quite possible. It's could also just be a cosplayer though, or the creation of some other mage. When did you first start hearing those rumors?

This is going to be fun. the guy in question is a resonant, basically meaning that the longer he's able to keep in close proximity, the more power he's able to absorb from whomever he's tailing. he's able to exactly able to copy powers within 24 hours, and there was a period of time where one of the... yukaris didn't gap herself anywhere, and he was tailing her for that day, so he should be able to mimic her powers almost totally.

my guess would be that she's manipulating him because she could have gaped at any time during that period, and she basically chose to take a very simple pedestrian route everywhere, as opposed to doing stuff along the lines of gapping on top of buildings and watching people go about their lives.

and as far as the rumors go, there's not much doubt it's her, every report said she was speaking english, but was suffering the effects of a Polyglot (i actually know this one, she can remove the "barrier" between languages" and was very confused, asking multiple people how to get back to gensokyo. last known report was that she disappeared into the occupy tent on locust, and nothing else from there. of course, my search went dry as she wasn't there, but everyone there gave a consistent description when questioned.

Wait a second, she knows about Gensokyo? That can't be right. The only explanation is that the person mimicking Yukari's powers made her.

But yes, all of this is probably just part of some plan of hers. I wouldn't worry about it too much really. She wouldn't let anyone actually become a threat to her, so he's probably harmless, as is his Youmu.

I've said it once and I'll keep saying it:

Nothing good will come out of animating those Touhous.

Well personally, I consider some good to have come from it. Despite their flaws, they're all good people at heart, and I consider them my friends. Even Yukari.

Either way though, it can't really be helped. I can't exactly unanimate them.

Can yukari make pocket planes? On a large scale?

Why do you ask?

Because we sort of have a level 3 breach event to gensokyo here. youmu's happily at home, but what i'm worried about is if there's any curious adventurers inside. i don't want to accidentally collapse a demiplane on them by destroying the only (to my knowledge) gate to that plane. according to a good friend with some scrying expertise, the plane is currently sized at 225 square miles, and is expanding at a rate of 14 square miles every hour, increasing exponentially.

any idea what i should do about this?
