If you somehow went to Gensokyo, what would you do for a living?

Unrealistically:
Treasure/Bounty/Monster hunter

Realistically:
Open a Coffee and Donut shop
giving them the joy and wonders of donuts and coffee prepared in all styles

Their tastebuds will dance with joy from my donut confectionary and they can wash it down with rustic and bold cowboy coffee to delightful and dainty lattes

I will even serve liqueur coffee for my alcoholic loving patrons in all its forms.

Outsiders will be given discounts

Fantasy:
Learn magic, become a Youkai Magician and do as I please.

Realistic: Become a doctor, I am already experienced in treating physical injuries. The only thing I would have to learn is Gensokyo specific diseases and their treatments.

and learn magic on the side because its Gensokyo.

Unrealistically: Try to get one of the occasional visitors to the human village to teach me how to participate in spell card duels. Keine might do it, and she'd probably love to hear about the human world. Marisa might do it too if you butter her up enough.
Realistically: I'd try the first part, but if it fails I'd see if I could get a job at the SDM.

>> No.13612594

The only things I could successfully do with that level of technology is teach the kids or work at the SDM. Not sure if Keane could use an assistant, though.

Maybe I could apprentice under Eirin and learn medicine. That'd be useful.

1. Cast Wall of Iron, creating a wall 55ft*5ft*2in=45.83cu ft of iron. This step costs 50gp in material components.

2. Cast Fabricate, converting 11 cu ft per cast into masterwork daggers. With 14 ranks in Craft (Weaponsmithing) and a wizard's crazy Int, you can't fail. Repeat until only 1-2 cu ft of iron remains. (4 casts). This consumes your 5th-level slots for the day, and takes 4 and a half minutes. The density of iron is 491lbs/cu ft. Thus 44 cu ft of iron weighs 21604 lbs. A dagger weighs 1 lb. Thus we create 21604 masterwork daggers, which sell for 151 gp each. That's 3,262,204 gp. Over 3 million gp. At level 11.

If vancian magic existed in gensokyo, having a vocation would be a moot point because most everybody is a caster of some sort and industry would be meaningless if you could just summon entire feasts or building materials or force an elemental to do all your building for you.

Roll 1: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Food_Manipulation

User can create, shape and manipulate food and other edible substances, including their shape, amount, taste, appearance, etc.

I can solve the Youkai eating Human problems now, put nearly all the human village farmers out of work by creating endless amount of delicious food and giving it out for free, or go on to work for Yuyuko or whoever wants to hire a guy with food manipulation powers.

Roll 2: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Victory_Manipulation

The user is able to manipulate the rate of victory and failure in the events orchestrated by the user or others. This ability allows the user to turn the tide of flow towards an enemy's chances of victory and create a result that works in the user's favor.

I'm going to defeat Yakumo Yukari, and take over the human village as its one true god.

Final Roll 3: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Difficulty_Manipulation

The user can manipulate difficulty of any a task/action is, making most difficult tasks easy and make the easiest tasks hard. They can bend logic for themselves to make things easy and/or make it impossible for others to do what they could normally do.

Go out and defeat all of Kaguya's impossible tasks, and instead of her hand in marriage get the Hourai elixir from Eirin.

Let me guess. You saw this picture and read it as "Touhou" despite it clearly reading "Donut House" because of the angle the words are put together. Then your mind wandered a bit, thinking of touhou, donuts, and this very thread which you eventually made. You don't actually want to make a donut shop in Gensokyo, you just needed an excuses to post that picture. The picture that started it all. The mind is a mysterious thing.
Unless you are like me and can read it like an open book.
Anyway, I would use my vast knowledge and superb problem solving skills to help Reimu and Marisa solve mysterious incidents.

This is why it might be a much better idea to study physics and thermodynamics/have the help of whatever incredibly brilliant scientist created your time machine, go back to an actual major civilization (example: rome, italy, 150 AD), use this knowledge to get in good with someone powerful (or possibly mysteriously know the future or a detail of said person's personal life) and become the country's greatest engineer as you invent gunpowder and the cannon, vastly improve metallurgy, then invent the steam engine, reinforced glass and concrete laced with rebar, copper wire and steel cable, modern rubber and plastic, glasses, telescopes, microscopes and binoculars, mechanical computers, electricity into electronics, and everything else you can possibly memorize.

Honestly if you went to anytime in the past with wikipedia, project gutenberg, wikitionary and as many other important knowledge sites as you can fit on a small solar-charged computer, it would be uncannily similar to having the alethiometer from his dark materials.
