First to fives wins this vote since no one here can come to a decision. Sorry for taking so long.
[x] Ask about Yukari
[x] Greet Eirin
Well, first up, you decide you want to know more about Yukari, at least what these people know about her. Sure, you could ask Yukari about herself but a third party explaination is valuable for for a whole bunch of reasons. After all, if you're going to be serving under this woman, it would definitely be best to know what other people think of her before actually settling on doing this, even if you honestly don't have much choice in the matter as it is. You breathe out a bit and look at the group before you mentally preparing yourself for this.
"Well, since I am about to become servant to this Yukari...I thought maybe it would be best to ask others what she was like, so I know what I am getting myself into." Eirin and Reisen look at you, Kaguya's expression does not change though and she doesn't seem to pay any attention to you. Eirin looks up with a bit of curiosity on her face.
"Yukari, huh? Well, Kaguya here knows most about her but I'm afrai-"
"That information is confidential." The princess interupts Eirin. God that was rude. You're ready to go over and smack her for the intrusion if not for the fact that she was a princess. However, it can't really be helped. Eirin looks at you smiling a bit apologetically.
"I'm sorry, though are a few things I suppose I myself could tell you. For one, Yukari is a gap youkai, that is, she has control over the world's boundaries." Woah, the world's boundaries? You feel compelled to ask more about this in a deeper sense.
"Boundaries, huh? What do you mean, specifically?" Eirin seems to be a bit pleased at your willingness to learn.
"Well, any boundary between two things, visible, invisible, tangible, intangible, real, or unreal, she can alter them to her will. For instance, she can bend the boundary between reality and fantasy and cause numerous illusions." Wow, sounds dangerous. You wonder what other boundaries there are but Eirin continues talking. "She's also able to bridge boundaries between two places and open it up, allowing transfixed travel between any two points like a portal. Her powers are truly extraordinary."
"Yeah, they really are. That's amazing..." Yeah, you definitely don't want to mess with Yukari now, knowing this. Your suspicions were correct, she'd be able to torture you in a whole vareity of weird and awkward ways that'd both cause great pain and discomfort. You're very glad you haven't pissed her off yet.
"However, Yukari herself is very carefree, whimsical you could say. A large majority of the day, she's always sleeping, and thus, it gives Ran quite the workload. Especially since Ran has a child to tend to still. So I would assume this is why Yukari took you on." So wait, Yukari's other shikigami has already had a child? What the fuck. You wonder why Yukari would let her shikigami screw around until you come back to the carefree part. Yeah, that sounds like Yukari alright. Then again, you can't help but shake this feeling it's something else. No matter though.
"However, it isn't just Yukari's power over boundaries that make her strong...her magical powers are truly frightening and she even helps maintain the Hakurei Barrier." You blink, looking over at Reisen, who had just said that. It was strange, you kinda took her for the quiet type at first. But you guess that shyness wore off kinda quickly.
"Hakurei Barrier?" You ask. You're interested, it sounds very important. You look at Eirin, whom you'd assume would know the most about this.
"Yes, the Hakurei Barrier is what separates Gensokyo from the outside world." There we go with that talk of the outside world again. You first heard it from Sanae, apparently she came from that place and into Gensokyo. So the Hakurei Barrier is the boundary between Gensokyo and the outside world? Makes sense Yukari would be managing it. It is a border after all.
"So basically, Yukari runs Gensokyo?" Eirin shakes her head no, for the most part it seems.
"No, not quite. But if she really wanted to, she could just as easily dismantle Gensokyo and make it collapse. She really doesn't seem to have the patience or anything to actually run it however, so I think that while she could, she just chooses not to." Hmm, so basically you're a servant to someone who could obliterate a whole country, for the most part. At least, so you assume. You're not sure if you should feel honored, or scared.
"I see, alright then. Thank you, Eirin." You show a kind smile to her, despite your tsunderekko habits. She shows one back. She doesn't seem all that bad. Come to think of it, you feel like you should know more about her, so you go ahead and pry a bit.
"Well, it's very nice to meet you Eirin. You sound like a very nice lady." Eirin seems a bit pleased at your friendly gesture.
"Why thank you, Sousha. You seem like a nice person yourself. We're glad to have one of Yukari's esteemed shikigami over. Ran was always extremely polite and I see you are no different. Yukari takes very good care of her servants I see." Ran's very polite, huh? You shouldn't have a problem meeting up with Yukari's second shikigami then, should you get the chance.
"Why thank you, Eirin. What do you do here anyway?" Eirin looks at you and is about to say something apparently, before looking at Reisen suddenly.
"Oh, that reminds me, I do have something I should have caught up on before coming to dinner. Reisen, could you please escort Sousha to my office so that we may talk more, after dinner? I must take my leave." Reisen nods, a bit of a serious expression on her face now.
"Yes, master." Eirin excuses herself before looking at you. Brr, that look she just gave you, it was almost like an insane, yet seductive look perfect for a mature woman such as her. But you get this feeling it was more or less your imagination that did it as she goes ahead and walks off and out of the room. You then look at Reisen.
"So uhh...Eirin is your master?" Reisen nods to you as you two continue dinner.
"Yes, I am her apprentice, she teaches me a lot of stuff and makes sure I am still in working order." Working order? What does she mean by that? You feel it's best not to question though.
"Well uhh, what is it like working under her?" Reisen looks at you and gives you a gentle smile.
"Oh, Master Eirin is very nice and kind, always willing to help others and continue on for the knowledge of science." She sounds like a great girl. Also sounds familiar for some reason.
"It sounds like you like working for her." Reisen looks down a bit solemnly now, still smiling though you feel it's forced. Where did this come from?
"Yeah, it's...she's a wonderful person. I always wanted to be like her." You blink and decide nothing more needs to be said. Don't want to pry too much. You just simply go ahea d and finish your dinner and be done with it.
After eating up that delicious meal (man it's been a while!) you look at Reisen who excuses herself and she looks at you. You then nod and excuse yourself too as you follow her out of the room and down the halls. It's deep sunset now and the halls look absolutely gorgeous under the orange light. In fact, some strange urge within you is suddenly telling you this is your chance to woo Reisen right here and now with your mastery of charisma and charm. You're not sure where you're gonna get it, but you're almost positive you can scrounge around somewhere within the deep recesses of your mind and pull it off somehow. Although you can also use this time to simply chat with Reisen about other things, or just wait until she brings you to Eirin. But god damn, testing your ability to sweep her off her feet does sound tempting.
[ ] DO IT! Charm that rabbit like no other!
[ ] Maybe talk to her about herself? You want another friend!
[ ] Literally sweep her off her feet and carry her there
[ ] Ask Reisen more about the silver haired Eirin. You're into older women.
[ ] SILENCE IS GOLDEN DAMMIT.
