ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY TOUHOU PLUS

There is carnage and blood around them, plus a blackened and smoking skeleton.) Princess Sakuya: Yeah, uh, sorry, Iwakasa, last night your men all. Fuji, with Princess Sakuya (no relation) hovering in front of them. Narration Box: Before Mokou could say another word, there was a flashback to her backstory! Left to right: Mokou, Iwakasa, Princess sakuya (no relation) (Mokou and Iwakasa are standing at the top of Mt.(Enter Toyohime, with Yorihime and Reisen II trailing behind.) Toyohime: Quick question! Mokou: You came all the way to Earth just for a quick question *what.* Reisen U.: Not again.Kaguya: So, nothing like that hell-raven, huh? Someone Off-Panel: Um. it's just, it was a 4000-year-old phoenix, dying of 'old age,' and it thought I'd have a use for its powers. Udongein Inaba are sitting outside Eientei.) Mokou: Yeah. (They turn to face her.) Reisen II: If we know where she is on Earth, can't we just go and ask her?.We have records of every dose ever made, especially contraband, and *all* of them are accounted for. Toyohime: But seriously, a missing Hourai Elixir is a pretty big deal.Yorihime: Yeah, and 'Oh, the reason we're being discreet about this is we don't want everyone in the Lunar Capital to go nuts.' (aside) (technically true) Toyohime: Personally, I think Lord Tsukiyomi actually knows that we're hiding Eirin, but doesn't mind.Reisen II: How did you do that, again? Toyohime: By sending Lord Tsukiyomi a private letter to the effect of 'Um, we've sorta 'found evidence' that an earthling may have *slightly* used an unaccounted-for dose of hourai.' Yorihime: (looking away) Well, at least we got permission to investigate it at all.Yeah, we've actually known where she is all this time.' But no. Toyohime and Reisen II are entering.) Yorihime: Any luck figuring out where that Mokou girl got the Hourai Elixir? Toyohime: I did what I could without actually saying 'Oh, hi, there's this girl on Earth who's living with Eirin. (Yorihime is standing in a room in the Lunar Capital.I have got to do something about this wall-of-text habit. I also gave him Konngara's clothes (recolored), basically for want of anything else. And if anyone wants my badly-photoshopped jar, you can have it. And young-Mokou got that of Male Shingyoku. I eventually gave him Reisen II's hairstyle (since in-comic it's mostly hidden by her helmet). Iwakasa's hair pretty much gave me the most trouble out of any other part of this composition, since pretty much none of Create.swf's options look masculine, especially that of the actual male characters. Princess Sakuya (no relation) and Iwakasa are from Cage in Lunatic Runagate, as their wiki-links sort of imply. I arranged panel 7 such that if ZUN ever does give an actual explanation for Mokou's fire-powers, I can simply remove it from this comic altogether with no break in the flow. I was shooting for something that wasn't particularly angsty or evil, and didn't have the possibility of Yasora-style ' o hai, I am in you' shenanigans. I figured I'd make up some fanon about where Mokou's actual phoenix-powers came from.

Reisen's 'Not again!' is a reference to a scene in Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth, in which the Watatsukis also come to Earth just for a 'quick question,' although that time they were the ones answering it. I think this is more amusing than the original line, 1 though. I had to juggle Toyohime's dialogue in the first panel a bit, in order to provide that 'so, there's this girl on Earth' line without having her babble stuff that all three of them know perfectly well. This only slightly changed the punchline, though. But then I remembered that they aren't supposed to officially know where Eirin is, and decided I could have a certain amount of fun with that. So, at first, this was just going to be a straight up 'they're just, y'know, investigating Mokou' kinda setup.
