Fill in the blank! [voice]

[shanghaiworld]

Say, I have a question. When did the ____ show up outside? It caught my by surprise, when I was ____ and alone. I thought I was ____ but it's been there for a while now. Should I go ____ and ____ it? I haven't had the chance to see how others are taking to this, what with me being ____ and all. But I don't many would know that.

Has anyone else had the time to ____ it? If so, I would ____ knowing anything you have to say.

(All of the blank spaces are bouts of a low noise that completely hides what she says. Stupid steam gears and them not working right. And I have very large procrastination problems it seems...)

Have you known her for a long time? I really only met her when she came to beat us up a while ago, when the Moon got replaced. She's pretty scary for a shrine maiden..

[shanghaiworld]

I first met her when she and Marisa came to the Makai for the first time, which would be... seven years? Bah, it's getting harder to tell the passage of time.

[uselessrabbit]

I can understand that all too well. My Mistresses ability makes it even more difficult..

[ With the tea in front of Alice, Reisen makes her own and sits down across from the magician, trying to give her a smile, seeing how they are bonding, or so Reisen wants to think. ]

I just hope that we aren't here so long that we forget it either..

[shanghaiworld]

When you say Mistress, do you mean Kaguya?

[It was legitimate question. Alice then took to her tea, before answering back once more.]

Well, if we just pay attention to the cycle of day and night, it shouldn't be too bad.

[uselessrabbit]

Yes, Kaguya-sama is my Mistress, and Eirin-sama is my Master! That just means I learn from my Master, while I mostly just do simple chores for my Mistress because she's too useless to do them herself.

[ She should know better to talk like that, but Reisen is Reisen. ]

Still, eventually we might forget to count a day, or start to lose count, and we'll start to forget where home REALLY is!

[shanghaiworld]

... Word of advice, never say that to either of them.

[It shouldn't need to be said but... Alice is convinced she is surrounded by morons.]

Well... home. I doubt I would forget where that is, myself. It certainly isn't Gensokyo though.

[uselessrabbit]

Really? But it's kind of the truth..

[ Everyone knows it's the truth, if they happen to know anything about Kaguya, but they might know not to say such things. Even Reisen, who gets punished for her big mouth should know better. ]

...It's not? Gensokyo isn't your home?

[shanghaiworld]

Yeah and if you went up to Reimu and called her a lazy jerk, she'd beat you up for it.

[Were all the others rabbit there like this? Was it just Reisen who doesn't have much of a survival instinct?]

Well, as I said, I met the maiden and the witch in Makai. That's because I'm from there. Or if I need to give more info, that's the place demons and devils come from, a realm of it's own made by the Goddess who created demonic folk, Shinki.

She's also my mother.

[uselessrabbit]

She seems to take things about as well as my Master..

[ Reisen already has Eirin punishing her when she messed up, she doesn't need an overpowered miko coming to beat her up just because she mentions her shrine is falling apart. When it clearly is. ]

Shinki is your mother?! The Shinki here?? [ She had met her briefly, but had no idea that that was Alice's mother. Or that Alice had family at all.. ]

[shanghaiworld]

Mother USED to be here. She, along with Yumeko, her... or our, maid, was here. Not anymore though.

You know of her, though?

[uselessrabbit]

I met her here. And Yumeko. I didn't know...they were your family.

[ She hasn't seen them since, but with how things were in the city, who knows if they were still there. ]

[shanghaiworld]

She would probably gush about her beloved daughter if she had the chance.

Also I just have to mention that after knowing Yumeko for so long... meeting Sakuya was really weird. Because Yumeko throws swords.

[uselessrabbit]

Really? I wonder if she has any embarrassing stories I can hear!

Sakuya-san can be pretty scary at times. But she works really hard for her Mistress. [ Just like Reisen thinks she does for her own. ]

[shanghaiworld]

No. [What an answer.]

And I'll be biased and say Yumeko is better.

[uselessrabbit]

You're no fun.

[ Rabbits LOVE gossip, don't you know. ]

I'm sure Miss Scarlet would think her attendant is best too.

[shanghaiworld]

Well, you could always start by telling me embarrassing stories about you.

[Give and take.]

Remilia also has a legion of fairies for maids, that may color an impression.

[uselessrabbit]

W-What kind of stories would you want to hear?

[ The bunny looks a little nervous, but almost like she might be able to tell Alice whatever she'd like. ]

I guess Mistress Eirin has the Earth Rabbits to do work for her too.. [ Which only makes Reisen look worse. ]

[shanghaiworld]

... Tell me your romantic dreams.

[That always seems to be a topic that messes with people, from what she knows. So she picked it, not out of curiosity, but from a teasing standpoint.]

Oh dear, did you compare those rabbits to fairies?

[uselessrabbit]

Well, I guess I just want someone to love me for who I am, rabbit or not. Someone who will protect me from danger, and who will kiss my ears and tell me I'm the cutest rabbit in the whole entire world...

[ Yeah it didn't take much at all for her to start spilling her guts. But it seems like she has a pretty high expectation of love. ]

Earth rabbits are hard to control, but they can do a lot of work. They are cuter than fairies, but probably about as useful.

[shanghaiworld]

... Your ears, huh?

[That's what she took from that.]

Meanwhile fairies are hard to control and also dumb. From what I remember, Remilia really only has them around because the idea of a fairy maid army amuses her. I think the fairies are on board because they get to stay in a big house.

[uselessrabbit]

They're really sensitive..

[ Feeling like Alice is staring at her ears, they lower on their own, with Reisen's face getting a little red. ]

Earth rabbits aren't that smart, they only really listen to Tewi, and she's the smartest one of them. [ And that's saying a lot. ]

[shanghaiworld]

... [She can't help herself. Alice is reaching for the ears.]

[uselessrabbit]

[ Reisen doesn't really see it coming, but when she feels the other girl's hands on her ears, her eyes open wide in surprise. Even as her eyes open, she doesn't try to get away, instead enjoying herself as Alice touches her. It's a very special reward when her Master or Mistress rubs her ears, and it feels like it's been so long since she's gotten to feel it.

The ears are incredibly soft and sensitive, making Reisen melt against Alice, whining a little from the touch. ]

[shanghaiworld]

[That certainly wasn't the kind of reaction, she pauses and then... looks like she feels bad.]

Are... you okay?

[uselessrabbit]

[ It may have sounded like she didn't like it, but instead, Reisen was loving it. She even leans more to the other girl, tilting her head down so her ears can get more attention. ]

...Y-You don't have to stop. [ The whine was more..pleasurable that unhappy, and it made Reisen feel a little embarrassed, but she loves having her ears touched. ]
