001 - [Accidental Visual/Action]

[The feed opens to a view of... the sky. The sky is beautiful, you guys. Seriously, who the hell left this thing on?

And suddenly, a white pony with a pastel star-cluster cutie mark flies. Without wings. But that's nothing strange, right?

What's strange is likely going to be the fact that she's flying in a circle, creating little multicolored star-shaped bullets and lasers from magic circles that appear and disappear periodically around her. The lasers are small and don't stretch far at all, but the multicolored bullets fly off in all directions, dissipating the moment they hit anything solid. It seems they're harmless.

A couple of ponies here just might recognize this spellcard, though.

Of course, the bullets themselves fly pretty far, so somepony might just get hit and be surprised by these random floating objects flying through the air!

Eventually, she sets back down, and walks over to the scrolls.]

Huh... power seems a lil' weaker here, but 'least I can still use it! [And she peers down at the scrolls.] Hey, what's this?

[Flare may not know anyone from Gensokyo well, but she's at least spent enough time talking to Mayfield's Twilight. And Patchouli, for that matter. She knows what danmaku is, and where it comes from. Which also gives her a good idea of tech level. As of such, have a salmon-pink mare eyeing you across the scrollwork.]

Consider it a two-way scrying device. Crystal balls, if your world has 'em.

Normally, I'd say it's damn impressive that an earth pony's flying, but nowdays it's sorta old hat.

[She knew Lucifer, and you, miss Kirisame, are no Lucifer. She can tell, because you actually have enthusiasm.]

Eh, 'm sure there's somethin' like 'em back in Gensokyo.

Jus' about everyone in Gensokyo can fly. [A shrug.]

Gensokyo... s'the place where that... bullet stuff comes from, right? Dom Niktu or somethin' like that?

I've seen it around, at least - a few ponies here know how t'use it.

[Sigh. Yeah, the introduction time.]

By the way. Welcome t'Equestria. You're stuck here a while. Pretty sure the land itself is why you're a pony, th'one responsible is an interdimensional super-being that hates friendship and wants t'prove it wrong, th'newspapers are full of lying slander.

Ponies with wings are pegasi, ones with horns are unicorns, ones with both are alicorns and that means they're royalty. Anything else isn't a pony, but if it can talk it's got all the same rights 'round here.

Any other questions you'd need answered?

Danmaku. An' really? I'm gonna hafta see for myself.

[And half of that explanation probably flew over her head, because she wasn't really listening. But she seemed to catch a bit of it, at least.]

Nope! I think I got it.

[Hm? What is that, in the distance? It looks like danmaku. Perhaps Cirno is prac-]

[Wait... that Spell Card looks familiar...]

[...No, it can't be...]

[NONONO WHY HERE? WHY WAS SHE HERE?]

[QUICKLY, SHE MUST HIDE ALL THE BOOKS SHE HAD STORED IN THE SHRINE. THAT IS ON TOP OF THE HILL OVERLOOKING PONYVILLE. THAT IS EASILY VISIBLE AND RECOGNIZABLE TO ANY GENSOKIAN FROM TOWN]

[NOPE TOO LATE SHE'S NOTICING ALL DAT SHRINE ON ALL DAT HILL.

AND FLYING TOWARDS IT CURIOUSLY.

Man doesn't that just look familiar....]

[It is definitely a slightly smaller scale version of the Hakurei Shrine. There is no donation box out front, strangely, but there are a number of slight additions designed for better climate control inside the living space of the shrine.]

[There's also a giant slab of metal blocking each entrance. Odd, but even a cursory inspection of the magic that went into creating it gives away who is most likely inside, scurrying around and trying to put away all the books she has collected before Marisa could break in.]

[Hey, maybe Reimu's here! She'd just need to... blast that giant metal thing away. ... Huh, something about that seems familiar...

... It's getting Master Spark'd. Even at half power, it's still enough to help her bust the door down.]

... Hello? Reimu? Ya there?

[Instead of a "hello", Marisa is greeted with a large, forceful ball of fire.]

[Definitely not Reimu's doing, that's for sure.]

I will never cease to be appalled by how dense you are when it comes to places where you are not welcome. Leave. I was quite enjoying all my material staying where they are without you taking them.

[The light show was certainly catching, but she probably would have gotten away without saying anything. Probably. And then there was the question. Were she less impulsive, Butterfly would totally not take the opportunity to screw with this girl.]

[But she wasn't.]

--BOO!!

[It was the best she could come up with.]

[And almost instantly, Marisa turns around, curiously staring at this... butterfly.]

Eh? A talkin' butterfly?

Yeah, and you're a talking horse. You wanna make something out of it??

[Though... Butterfly would suspect that she would have a disadvantage, here.]

Ha. Feisty one, aint'cha? Don't think ya'd stand a chance against me though, so I won't roast ya. Ya got a name?

[Oh few. She'd hate to actually have to follow through with that.]

[Still, there was no reason not to make a big show of it.]

Oh yeah! Well, we would have to see, wouldn't we!

...but, if you're going to keep things civil, I guess I will too.

I'm Butterfly.

Um.

But usually it's polite to give your name first when you're meeting somebody for the first time, you know!!

[Alright..For once the fairy is by herself. She's flying and...THIS IS JUST DEJA VU. Again, Cirno nearly get's hit by one of the stars but instead of yelling this time, the fairy falls into a normal thing and gazes the heck out of everything.

Once that is over it hits her...SHE KNOWS THIS CARD...]

Wait...It can't be....Marisa is that you again?

[Small blue Pegasus staring at you Marisa in shock. WHAT DO?]

[She finishes the spellcard, and turns to the small blue pegasus.]

Again...? What d'you mean?

You don't remember do you...?

[That makes her hope fall a bit but Cirno quickly shakes her head. It didn't matter...For now.]

You were here before..and almost hit me then too.

... Nope. No recollection of that at all. Sorry.

[Wait. That voice. That look]

... Cirno? That you?

Of course it's me!

[That made her happy. at least she was remembered.]

Who else would have ice wings like me?

[A smallish pink filly with her mane in twintails just trots through town, minding her own business. Nothing unusual happening toda-

Okay, that's a lie, because she just squeaked in surprise as one of those colorful star bullets whizzes past her and hits the ground.]

Huh?!

[Turning to face where it could have come from, she jumps at seeing a few more and hurriedly moves out of the way.]

H-Hey! Careful with those!

[Wait... is that an Earth pony flying around up there?! Or a unicorn using a flight spell?]

[That's definitely an earth pony.

Eventually she finishes her spellcard, and then turns to the one calling at her.]

Hey, if ya see 'em comin', get outta their way. [She puts a hoof on her chin.] Though they won' hurt ya anyway.

[She could figure that much out on her own! At first glance, she thought unicorn magic, but nope. Definitely no horn on that pony.]

... What are they?

[She is a very confused schoolfilly.]

Danmaku. Flyin' magic projectiles, basically. Won't hurt ya, and we usually use 'em for a game of sorts. S'hard to explain in words, easier in practice. Ya want another example?

[She can't not be curious after an explanation like that.]

Okay... as long as it's not dangerous...

[She's still a little nervous, from how the things took her so much by surprise.]

[Woona looks up at the sudden burst of light. Frowning, she continued sweeping.] Strange, my other self did not mention anything about falling sta--GACK!

[And she got smashed in the face with one. Peeling off the residue, she howled,] CONFOUND IT ALL, WATCH WHERE THY THROW THINE POWERS, ELSE FACE A ROYAL THRASHING!

'Ey, turn th' voice down a notch, will ya?! I'm tryin' to practice here!

[Jeez, what was with that pony anyway?]

I've faced royalty before. Maybe not like ya, but if it's danmaku, I ain't losin'.

It would be preferred if you took your practice outside of town.

Danmaku. We do not employ this sort of sorcery.
