*Mystia ventures into the forest after school with bug net in hand to take part in Apple’s family’s contest. Of course she keeps singing and carries a bird-like scent so the bugs all keep fleeing from her.*
Des-pa-cito 🎶
With my bug net into the forest we go 🎶
Though I’m kinda craving a hot burrito 🎶
Hope I catch a worm or a rare mosquitoooo 🎶 -
//Oh oh I’ve got an idea! You could always make a group for yourself to confine her acts of villainy to. Anyone would then be free to join and oppose her if they want. I’ll need to double-check with Apple-chan but I think VoxSharp could use an antagonist although I’m not sure if it’s really mature enough for one yet.
And of course since our characters are from the same series you can always rp with me and Kyouko @heartsutra. -
*Mystia hears about the festival and comes to visit early to try and get an outfit together so then on the actual Lunar New Year she has something fitting to wear.*
Oh that parasol looks pretty! Oh and that dress too! Those hairpins! Oh lookie a piggy bank I can put my allowance in! I hope they have a bird themed year sometime. I’d love that! I’d buy all the things!

Mystia here, rank D night sparrow yokai! I’m from the Shady tribe and I only really hang around the city when it’s dark. If I inspirit someone at night, their vision gets worse. Oh I also love singing so if you hear a kid singing but can’t see anyone then it might be me. This should be fun >:3

*Mystia goes around the plaza ringing a bell* Attention, attention! The snowman contest is over! I hope you all had fun. I sure did, and I wasn’t even allowed to enter!
Well let’s get the judging over with! I’ll start with Gin-san’s entry, the Neo Armstrong Whatchamacallit Cannon. Cannons are awesome, and with wings and a slide, that makes it almost as awesome as me! Very creative too, especially the wings. The beauty score is low because it’s missing a nose! No nose! No nose! No nose! It scores 9 for awesomeness, 4 for beauty, 8 for creativity, giving it a total score of 37! //Actual total: 21//
Apple’s entry’s next: Baron von Fiddlestein! Pretty basic, but the mustache is absolutely quote unquote, spiffing. I like the hat too. Nose could’ve been a carrot. It gets a 6 for awesomeness, 7 for beauty, 6 for creativity, putting its total at 23! //Actual total: 19//
Noloty was last to enter her Super Snowman. It’s really big and even has supersized clothes to go with it! Of course, it has a carrot nose! Yesss! Very impressive! Awesomeness gets a 9, beauty a 9, creativity a 5, putting your total at 82! //Actual total: 23//
So now that the scores are all added up the winner is Noloty and the Snow Giant! Congrazzles! Please help yourself to tickets for 6 free ski sessions, sponsored by Mystia’s Lamprey Cart Incorporated Registered Trademark Limited!
Arigato for showing me some great snowmen! Happy holidays!

A Mystia Lorelei Guide to Playing a Moron
// Hi everyone, Mystia here! At times you may notice I’ve said or done some pretty stupid things, like turn up to a ballroom in gym clothes. I honestly have a hard time keeping up the moron mentality and there’s a reason for that: I’m not really an idiot (at least I’d like to think I’m not. Whether anyone else thinks I am is another story).
I’ve decided to help Apple out and write a few tips on how to play a character with low intelligence, and reasons why you might want to.
For the lolz
One strong reason for wanting to play a moron is to just be funny. You can’t just pull off acts of stupidity any time though. Reading the mood is essential. If a knock-knock joke would be inappropriate, so is your moronic self doing something moronic just for laughs.To spice things up
Sometimes, a well-timed mishap from the idiot can trigger chains of events that can lead to a very interesting story. For example, let’s say a group is exploring some ancient ruins, but the baka goes and triggers one of the traps (“oooo what does this button do?”), causing arrows to fly all around the room and giving everyone chances to pull off some evasive stunts to dodge them. This should be done sparingly, otherwise the party will never take you exploring again!Don’t be obnoxious
There’s a way to be clever about being stupid, but there’s also a way to be stupid about being stupid. Just don’t be annoying, otherwise people will start to think you’re really as stupid as your character is. Try to make it clear that if your character does something stupid that it’s deliberate and that there’s a method to the madness.Gaps in your knowledge
You can be stupid without explicitly doing anything! Just being unaware of something that would seem obvious to everybody else is one way of doing it, but there should be a reason as to why. Mystia, for example, didn’t know what a spa was until yesterday, but the reasoning is because she’d simply never been to one. She lived in a forest before she came to Skyrie and would have been very unlikely to have encountered or heard of a spa from there.Pairing with someone sensible
A long-standing form of Japanese stand-up comedy called Manzai is typically told by a duo: one fool, and one “straight man”. If you have a friend whose character is really sensible then you can work together to do something similar. The baka says or does something stupid, and the sensible person reacts humourously. Gintoki and Shinpachi from the Gintama anime are a great example.I hope this is helpful if you’re deciding what kind of character to play and are thinking about playing a fool. It’s loads of good fun if done right, but can easily turn into a disaster if you aren’t careful. All in all it’s a challenging archetype at least for me. Gomen if the post turned out to be on the long side ehehe…

Hey everyone, just a reminder that you’ve got a week left to show me your snowman pics! Go go go!

Just to add my deets. Do people say that around here? Deets?
1. Mystia Lorelei, originally from Touhou 8
2. A night sparrow yokai who causes blindness, sings songs and runs an eel cart in the Forest of Harmony. A wee bit arrogant and a wee bit dense. Not much deviation from the original.
3, 4 & 5. See Kyouko.
Extra note: @heartsutra is also me. That goes without saying but I wanted to say it 😛

*Approaches the field as everyone is playing this mashup dodgeball game*
Oooh this looks like fun. It’s like danmaku but instead of dying you only get a concussion! Can I play?

*Finally arrives at the cart after her little friendship performance earlier.* Time to open up shop! *Sets up the cart again for the evening without taking any notice of the swordfish, then when a customer turns up and asks, she suddenly notices.*
Eeeeeehhhhhh?!? That fish wasn’t always there? Are you sure you’re at the same cart? This is a fish cart you know! How can you go to a fish cart without seeing any fish?
*While chatting with the customer she takes Apple’s swordfish from the counter and inspects it.* Oh how thoughtful! *She then hides it underneath the counter and starts taking orders again as normal.*
