I would try but I'm really dumb. I hope to see what you guys can come with though.

Once was a useless shit of a person that does nothing but sit inside, shitpost, watch anime, and wonder how it became such as this.

Flawless logic, sensei.

I'll post one other that I saved from that thread.

In heaven far above the illusionary world there lived a selfish celestial. Despite bing a celestial she was just an immature little girl. Every day she threw tantrums that literarily shook the earth below. Every day she got into fights, everyday she caused trouble for others. When asked if she ever felt any remorse for leading this kind of lifestyle, she said, nothing, because she hadn't been listening.

Between the illusionary world and ???, there lived a capricious woman of questionable origins. Calamity or calm, she appeared and disappeared without reason or logic, weaving a strange web of actions. When asked whether she was strong or weak, sane or crazed, and whether she had won or lost, she said, If you ask a question with such distinct choices then I can only say your answer is somewhere inbetween each and possibly nowhere at all.

In a mansion near the illusionary world there lived a runaway from a distant world. Level-headed and aloof, cared for her master, she does the bidding of those who live there, often pranked by her friend. When asked if she missed her home she says This is my home, the other women are like my family, it would be a shame, to have to leave my home again wouldn't it?

In the illusionary world there lived a red and white shrine maiden. She spent most of her days as slowly as possible, sitting and silently drinking tea and not moving about unless she absolutely needed to. She never went out of her way to meet with others, but neither did she go out of her way to avoid them. When asked if she shouldn’t try to go out and hunt some youkai she said Why should I? It’s not like I have to come to them.They come here everyday whether I want it or not.

Fuck, this is hard, I can't think of anything.

Thank you for the contribution.

i'm so uncreative and if i try doing one it would sound like some teen-angst level shit that i and probably everyone would dislike

feels horrible man.

>>7443614
Go on, you never know until you try. And besides, everything created has at least one fan.

This is actually pretty interesting... now I want to try to think of something. I'm impressed /jp/

In the illusionary world, there lived a man in a shop near a magic forest. Collecting and selling various trinkets both new and old, he hoped make his living by his dealings with humans and youkai alike. When ask how often he received customers he said with a sigh, I don't often get customers. Instead I get nuisances who try and take whatever they please. If ever you interview a particular witch, tell her I'd like my books back.

OP here, I'm not too happy with out it turned out, but at least I tried him.

>>7443661
Not bad.

Beyond the illusionary world there lived a judge. Indiscriminate to humans and youkai, she lived in a world of black and white. When asked if she felt sorry for those she condemned, she said, It matters not.My job is one that must be done without sympathy.

In an illusionary world there lived an immortal girl who killed an honest man. She spends her time rescuing people from succumbing to the depths of a forest of illusion and getting eaten. Having shaped her future by her own hand, she will live forever. She knows many wisdoms and lives many lifetimes, but even when talked to, she always finds ways to remain reticent and mysterious. When asked why she rescues lost people, she says I'm just a health nut that runs a yakitori stand.

In the illusionary world there lived a solitary dollmaker. While she wasn’t entirely devoid of friends she did spend most of her time inside her small house making dolls. When she wasn’t making dolls she made doll-clothes, doll-shoes, tools for doll-making. When asked if she prefered the company of dolls to that of living beings she said, These dolls are my precious children. My friends are my precious friends. I couldn't possibly answer that question.

>>7443681
I feel like mine's really short ;_;
and that somehow makes it bad.

>>7443695
Actually, I felt yours was very nice for how short it was. Succinct and to the point. Just like the Yama.

There is a very messy house in the illusionary world. This belongs to a perky and self-confident individual who has a reputation as a petty thief. Nosy and loud, she gets into everyone's business that isn't her own. When asked if she ever plans on returning the stolen belongings she said, If it looks interesting, I pick it up! And yeah, I'll give back everything I took. After I'm dead!

I feel that this thread should be on the front page.

There lived a guy wasting any small talent he had writing these

He died a shut-in and was generally not missed, not even by those who knew him

No spoiler text because this is probably the fate that awaits you

>>7443865
>He died a shut-in and was generally not missed, not even by those who knew him
And why should he care?

>>7443870

Because he would otherwise have failed both them and his life

You owe your best efforts to society

>>7443877
>You owe your best efforts to society
Huh?

Beyond the realm of demons lived a monk who loved humans and youkai equally. She would always preach about equal rights for everyone, often facing violent persecution because of that. When asked why would she go on and if she was afraid, she said, it's okeven if I get punishedbecause everyone has the right to know

>>7443865
>He died a shut-in and was generally not missed, not even by those who knew him

Could be worse.

Near a lake in the world of illusion there lived a fairy. Stubborn and brave, with a hint of idiocy (no more than a pinch), she spends her days in a playful fervor. When asked what she was doing, she said, I am on an adventure, to see if she could find an opponent, that matches her strength and wit.

At large mountain in the illusionary world, there lived a quick-witted girl. She flies around with her camera, trying to find the best new headlines for her newspaper. When asked if she had a big scoop yet, she pulled out a small note pad and said, I ask the questions around here! I haven't seen you before. Did you come from the boundary? How did you get here in one piece? This is huge!

OP here again. Since the contribution seems to have slowed, how about I take requests? I'll try not to let you down.

>>7443893
Sure, I kinda want to see one for Parsee.

>>7443893
I was just afraid the thread was going to get derailed after that shitpost. I'll try again.

On the edge of the illusionary world there lived a girl with a boat. A shinigami she was, scythe in hand, grin on her face. Ferried souls of the dead across the Sanzu when she wasn't slacking off watching the flowers bloom. When asked if she should get back to work, she said, Oh, don't worry, the souls aren't going anywhere.

>>7443907
In the illusionary world, there is a passage to the underworld. Guarding the bridge just passed the entrance is a princess who disallowed entry. Warning passers of the dangers is her duty, and those who ignore she strikes fends away zealously. When asked why she attacks those who ignore her she said, People always coming and going as they please, ignorant of the dangers down here... So carefree and innocent they are. I'm jealous...

Sorry for the wait.

>>7443952
Well worth the wait.

>>7443952
>strikes fends
Aw, crap. Guess I didn't proof read it well enough.

In a crimson mansion near the illusionary world lived an undying lady. Petite and charismatic. She goes about her evenings accompanied by a maid she holds unusually close. When asked if she ever misses the sun, she said.Not really. The cool night sky has always been more enjoyable, wouldn't you agree?

In the Illusionary World there lived a flower-loving youkai, sequestered in her garden of flowers. All day, she would care for her flowers, all night, she would sleep with her flowers. She lived through the seasons, watching them grow, bloom, wither, and give way to a new generation of flowers. When asked whether she grieved for those flowers that had passed away, she said, Why would I grieve? Each and every one of those flowers lived to their fullest. Each tried as hard as they could, and each blossomed spectacularly. Even in death, they provided for the next generation with their withered bodies. Why would I grieve for such a magnificent display of life?

This is why I love /jp/. Keep up the good work! Don't be afraid to do a character that's already been done.

In a quiet library that existed in the illusionary world, there lived an unspoken demon. Wispy existence, unknown and un-named, she did her duties the best she could. During a rare meeting, she said, [spolier] I don't often have guests, [/spoiler] ones that live outside of the mansion are even rarer. So, if you could come back soon... I'd greatly appreciate it!

There lives a fallen God in the illusionary world. Small, spry, and loving of her land and people she remains despite her long life. When asked if there is any remorse or wish to take back her Godhood she said, Of course not. I still have power, and the Moriya still has it's faith. I may not be it's focus anymore, true, but my people are happy and my land is flourishing. Isn't that enough?

This is my gift to Yamada for his lengthy endeavor of digging through pixiv for a 1.2gig batch of Suwako pictures. It's not much, but enjoy.

/jp/ - Poetic Narration General

In the illusionary world there lived an ice fairy. Although she was the strongest of her kind, she still lost constantly to humans and youkai who were more powerful still. "Next time, next time, I'll show you!" When asked if she was ever discouraged by her defeats she said Who wouldn't be? Even I have pride, you know? But one fight is just one fight. I'll definitely beat them the next time. Because I'm the strongest, after all.

Sometimes as you wander in the illusionary world you may find a peculiar darkness drifting defiantly under the light of the sun. It has been said that the voice of a young girl can be heard coming from within. When a curious human once asked the girl why she would carry such a darkness, the voice answered, The light is a great destroyer of the possibilities lying the dark. Rather than gorge myself on my discovery of this world, I will savor that which discovers me.

>>7444028
Hardest part for me is picking a character I feel I can do justice to.
One more shot then I have to sleep... I just realized how late it was.

In the crimson mansion on the illusionary world, there lived a human in the service of a vampire. She spoke and moved gracefully, did her job dutifully, and kept her master happy. Her hidden past and ability to manipulate time make her a mystery even to those who know her well. When asked why she serves a vampire, or if she would rather be free, she said with a smile, I am happy when my Lady is happy. That is good enough for me.

>>7444095
Wow, that's pretty awesome there

>>7444099
Thanks for sticking around as long as you did. Rest easy.

So this is freeform right? Not conforming to some template.

>>7444122
I just continued using the template in the original thread because I liked it. You can do whatever you like, too.
I might do a couple more in a bit.
Need some time to think after the Rinnosuke, Marisa, Parsee and Suwako ones.

In a magical forest in the illusionary world there lived a doll skilled in combat. She wasn't really living, though, because her movements were controlled by her master, a seven-colored puppeteer. When asked if she enjoyed her life in service to her master, she said nothing, because she couldn't speak. Nevertheless, she smiled and nodded her head as a response anyway. "That's what I believe, at least. It might even be true, don't you think?"

Within the illusionary world's dark woods there lived a musical bird. Filled with song and deception, she either filled her or her prey's belly. When asked why she preferred the dark, she said, I am a night sparrow and so I live where it is always night.

Someone archive this thread or save them all into a word file. This is too awesome to be just another touhou thread.

>>7444162
Easymodo, newfriend.

Also, watch out, you can kill a good thread by glorifying it too much.

>>7444162
This is a non-issue. Just lurk some more and the secrets of /jp/ will give themselves up to you.

Last one for the night, going to bed.

In the mountains of an illusionsary world, there lived a stalwart guardian. Fierce and strong, loyal and brave to a fault, she protects her people from harm. When asked if she ever got bored, she said Yes, but the sacrifice is worth the reward, of my vigilance

Will post more in the morning if the thread is still alive.

>>7444185
Let us hope, sir. G'night.

There dwells a princess within the netherworld inside the illusionary world. No memories of her life does she still possess. Inside her home, with a smile she watches as the moon arcs overhead. When asked if she ever feels sad about her missing memories she said, What is important to me is making new, fond memories, like this one. Youmu, please prepare some tea for our guest, as he will not be leaving for a while~

In a far-off corner of the Earth, somewhere between the borders of reality and fantasy, there exists the Illusionary World. Under the protection of a certain shrine maiden, the Illusionary World continues to exist, with no regard to time or common sense. It is a whimsical land, full of a multitude of interesting characters. Every so often, one of these characters sparks an event which threatens the balance of the Illusionary World, and a new chapter is written. Is such a world merely a dream, a fleeting reverie of long-forgotten adventure? Whether it is a dream or not, I cannot say. But I do know this: the Illusionary World is alive within the hearts of the people. And so long as it is remembered, so long as more chapters are added, it will exist.

But should we wake up from the dream, should the Illusionary World be forgotten, the fantasies of those that came before us, the chapters that were added before us, will all be reduced to nothing.

On winter In the world of illusion my eyes did behold, a strange blue fairy bounding through snow in the biting cold.

The falling snow became too thick, I could no longer see, but that fairy appeared, a grin on her face, saying While the spring sleeps would you please come play with me?

I promise it to be fun. come on lets go to the frozen lake. Lets run! Following her to the lake thought did cross my mind will this make home harder to find?

As we played, it began to get colder, the sky grew dark, as the day grew older. My body was numb, but I could not tell. The fairy had me under some sort of spell.

My vision grew faint, all around me became gray, and through this dim mist, I heard the fairy say That was fun! do come back again some day!

As my world grew smaller, amidst my confusion, I thought of the day, and the games that I did play, in this strange world, of illusion.

Within a village in the illusionary world lived a young girl wise beyond her years. In exchange for reincarnating every hundred or so years, she retains parts of her memories from her previous lives, which she uses to write a chronicle that was originally a guide for the safety of humans. She fosters no friendship with any human, however, as her memory, dedicated only to the chronicle in which she writes, outlives any she will befriend. When asked whether she regrets living such a short life, she replied It is true that I will probably not live much beyond the age of 30, but if this chronicle can be of use to humans, even a little, then I will have given them the years of life that I myself had taken away from me.

There is a gardener within the illusionary world. This girl busies herself tending to the netherworld gardens and taking care of her ghostly mistress' every whim. Never tiring or complaining, she fulfills her duties perfectly. When asked if she ever tires of her station, she said, Imagine you serve someone that you love with all of your heart. It would be cruel to ask such a person "wouldn't you like to leave?". Don't you think?

>>7444285
Wonderful.

Between the illusionary world and ???, there lived a capricious woman of questionable origins. Calamity or calm, she appeared and disappeared without reason or logic, weaving a strange web of actions. When asked whether she was strong or weak, sane or crazed, and whether she had won or lost, she said, Ran, there’s a nosey tengu asking me questions. You let your guard down again, didn’t you? -Ah, but Miss Crow, if you become my shikigami you might find the answer to what you seek, yes?

Oh for christ's sake are those spoiler tags a pain in quantity

OP here. I'm tapped after Yuyuko and Youmu and am heading off to bed. Thank you all for your contributions; some -really- nice pieces out there. I hope this thread still lives when I wake up.
G'night, /jp/.

>>7444312
cont.

and because apparently i have some blocked string in it (which for the life of me I can't find), it has to be in image format.

>>7444473
Holy shit I thought this was a poem thread. You look like you're writing a book here.

This is a pretty awesome thread, I wish I could contribute but I lack any skill for making poems

Inside a mansion in the illusory world there lived an elegant vampire. With her finger raised she sipped her tea, a tear rolling down her cheek. When questioned as to why she replied, What calamity has befallen me my thirst far exceeds my hospitality and one day I fear none will be left for me to entertain.

In the illusionary world there was a young girl from below going stray, unshackled from the burden of her race in order to live this carefree life.When asked what she is hoping to achieve by doing this, she said, I don't know and I don't care maybe I'll know it once I have achieved it, or maybe not. It's fine either way. Hey mister let's play!

>>7444473
>and because apparently i have some blocked string in it (which for the life of me I can't find), it has to be in image format.
Disable sub-pixel rendering and encode it as PNG, please. That picture hurts my eyes.

Anyway, that's some pretty good writing we have in this thread. Some of you should definitely try to write a book.

>>7444521
>Disable sub-pixel rendering

You lost me there.

>>7444521
I don't really know how to do that in OpenOffice.

In the illusionary world there lived a girl who couldn't help but peer into the head of others. Her eyes glassy, her mind sculpted by the thoughts of those who intrude on her privacy. When asked if her power bothered her she let out a sigh and whispered Nothing escapes meyet if nobody comes to visitI don't have any problems at all.

>>7444521
>Some of you should definitely try to write a book.
I've been trying to write something, but I simply can't gather up the motivation to do so. I have some good ideas floating around in my head, but I can't seem to find the right words when I try to put it to paper.

I really enjoyed writing for this thread, though, and it was good practice. I think I'll take another crack at writing.

Requesting one for Wriggle-kun

>>7444741
Try writing it for yourself, might be fun.

In the illusionary world there lived a host of insects - bugs, flies, wasps and all the creeping and crawling things within the earth. Amongst those was their queen, a giant to them but a weakling to others, and they lived for her, died for her.

When asked if she felt for their passing, she said It's nature to live and die. If their lives have more joy in dying for a cause, who am I to deny them their sacrifice?

>>7444310

>>7444917
Fine.
In the illusionary world there lived a girl who watched ceaselessly for intruders. From her vantage point she could see the length and breadth of the land, every act, every petty cruelty and every tender moment, each momentous event and each second of everyday life. When asked what she saw she said Stop bugging me for stories, Aya. I'm on duty at the moment.

Glad to see this thread is still alive.

In the underworld of the illusionary world there lived a blazing cat. Caring and thoughtful, although a bit on the smelly side, she carries out her duties with good cheer. When asked if she enjoyed herself, she said, As long as Master is happy, and my friends are too that's all I care about

Bump.

If OP is taking requests can I request one with Suika?

There lived an unfortunate goddess in the illusionary world. Scaring away all who get to near while collecting their misfortune, always misunderstood and thought as cruel. When asked if she had concerns with causing misfortune for anyone around her, she twirled once with a smile and said, If I weren't concerned, I wouldn't keep anyone away. The mountains here are too dangerous for play. Turn around and leave for good! You could get eaten in this neighborhood.

Talent abounds in this thread. I am impressed.

There lives a small mountain demon living on the surface of the illusionary world. Always with drink in hand, she searches for all things fun and interesting. When asked if she ever got tired of her wandering, party craving lifestyle, she laughed and said, You're joking! This life of mine is the best! Don't you drink and like to party? If not, I'll be sure to change your mind~

Even though I just came back I have some crap I need to do today. But I'll check back from time to time to see if more requests have cropped up.

>>7445413
I know there was one for Koishi last time, could you post it?

>>7445430
I'm sorry, I didn't get to stick around in that thread to the end so I ended up missing several of them much to my disappointment. Also, I had no clue about easymodo back then, so I didn't save the thread number. I certainly won't make the same mistake twice.

>>7445442
This it?

From other thread?

In the depths of old hell far below the illusionary world there lived a satori. Having closed her third eye she had lost what she had in common with the rest of her kin. How useless! Her elder sister cried and mourned for her loss. But, when asked if she herself felt any loss she said Not really. I’m still here aren’t I?

>>7445452
You are a scholar and a gentleman, sir.
That's the one I participated in with my Patchouli, but I guess I was just stupid and didn't save the Komeiji's.

>>7445469
Wasn't hard to find, honestly. Searching for "Illusionary World" gets matches for this, Clannad, and a handful of Yukari writeups.

I'll be posting some from last time.

>>7445487

>>7445490

>>7445494
This was the last one I made, but the rest are in the easymodo link.

In the underground of the illusionary world, there lived a very strong oni. Inbetween drinking and partying she fought very strong people. When asked what is so fun ind fighting the strong she replied - You live when you struggle and fight but If the weak fight with the strong who's going to fight with the strong?

go back to Gaia, plz.

>>7445504
fuck you, captcha.

>>7445506
Nigga you high.
Saten threads must've hurt your brain

In the illusionary world there lived a dirty little secret. If one was to ask, her sister would say she was a shut-in. The truth of it is that she is a locked canary. When ask if she minded she said I wish just once that I could fly, instead I am a caged bird, too dangerous to go outside Look but don't touch

In the illusionary world there dwells a girl in the dark basement of a mansion, locked away from the world to keep it safe. All alone in the dark she plays with her toys and keeps to herself. When asked if she ever wanted freedom, four small identical voices giggles and said, I can taste freedom whenever I want you know. I stay here because I must, not because I want to. More importantly... aren't you in trouble~?

This thread combined with that other fanfic thread has really gotten me into a writing mood.

>>7445626

No one wants to read your shit.

There is a gate guardian in the illusionary world. This guardian also took care of her mistress' garden, though isn't well known for it. Hard working, though not well focused. When asked if she is treated with respect she said, Respect? Is that important? It is my duty to protect the mansion from intruders! ...Why are you asking me these questions from inside the gate?

>>7445633
Oh dear, the more bitter users have found the thread, I suppose nothing good lasts forever.

>>7445672

Quit posting anonymously, Voile.

>>7445633
I know I can't write well but that is still quite uncalled-for

Looks like the thread has finally lived it's life. Thank you again for those of you who felt the spark of creation enough to either contribute your own or share the ones from the other thread that I did not. I hope we can have other threads like this in the future.

Outside the illusionary world there lived a /jp/ poster. One day, he visited page fourteen and bumped a certain thread. When he was asked why he did it, he said: Maybe we'll get a bit more out of it, it might pick up a second wind, and even if neither of these happen I just think this thread should live a while longer.

In the illusionary world there lived a girl who embodied a force of nature. Carefree, forgetful, fast to love and then hate and then promptly turn around to wonder about the next thing. When asked if she felt overlooked, she said Why should I feel special? I'm just one of the nameless fairies out of thousands, after all. But my friends and I, we're glad to be in the backdrop, you can't have a play without the supporting cast, can you?

Could someone do one for Nitori?

>>7448493
This is my favourite, compliments for the idea

>>7448841
Under the waters of the great mountain amidst the illusionary world lived a water sprite who shied from view. When asked why she hid if she liked humans, she said Even if they're friendly, they still can be scary. But all that means is we just need to know them better. And what better way to understand than to study what their clever hands think up?

But enough about that, I fixed your camera already!

>>7448918
Any more requests for characters?

>>7449366
Good job on keeping the thread alive.

Herp derp

Hello writefriends, OP from the first thread here... I totally didn't expect to see this kind of thread after all this time, and if not for the bump I surely would have missed it.

I actually have like 6 or 7 (I think) pieces written since the first thread that I never posted, because I though that I'd be lame/shameless to make an exact duplicate thread and expect it to fly. But... since there still seems to be some demand(?) for this format, I though, uh, maybe I should post what I got?

Sorry for the shameless bump, /jp/, and thanks to everyone who contributed so far.

>>7449910
>maybe I should post what I got?
Please do! Even if nobody were around to enjoy them, if you never gave them the chance to live that would be disrespectful to the hard work itself wouldn't it?

Besides, I'd like to read them, if nothing else.

>>7450012
Thank you for your encouragement, but I think I will wait until the guro-spam blows over.

>>7449910
In the illusionary world there lived a former vampire huntress. Through a twist of fate, she now served one of those she used to hunt. Through a twist of fate, her every action, emotion and reason was now motivated by one of those whom she used to hunt. When asked what she though her old self would think of her current self, she said I’m most certain she’d hate me. She’d be so envious... She’d just hate me.

>>7449910
In the clouds of the skies of the illusionary world there swam a legendary fish. She had no home, and she owned naught but the clothes on her body. She rarely invested time in anything. She always did the minimum amount of work needed. When asked how she was satisfied with such a life, she said It seems that you expect great words from me. But, I don’t have anything to say.

>>7449910
In the depths of old hell far below the illusionary world there lived an unfortunate girl. She had been unable to save her beloved sister from herself, she had been to save others from her beloved pet. When asked how she dealt with her own weaknesses she said What makes one weak? Is it the disability to keep a loved one from faulting? Or is it the disability to love them despite their faults?

>>7450346
I have never really thought about her canon personality, does that actually fit her?

>>7449910
In the illusionary world there lived a girl whose identity was unknown. She had kept it skillfully hidden for as long as she could recall. When curiously asked if she couldn’t make an exception just this once she said If I knew what to tell, maybe I woudn’t mind telling you.

In the land of illusion there lives a maiden of the snow, in winter she spreads white, cold and makes the icy wind blow. When asked why she would do this, she replies Would you want to see the same scene all year-round? Don't you sometimes tire of the bustle and all the heat sound? Come with me, let's see the view I wish to show, the beauty of winter to you.

>>7450407
sweet poetry

>>7449910
In the illusionary world there floated a blob of darkness. It would turn out, the blob was actually a girl hiding herself from the rest of the world. When asked why she hid herself in darkness day and night she said It might be so that some fear the darkness, but there isn’t anyone who doesn’t fear a monster.

>>7449910
In the illusionary world there lived a girl whom loved seasonal flowers. There was none nearly as dedicated or knowledgeable as her when it came to the topic. More often so than elsewhere, you could spot her near the biggest sunflower field in the illusionary world. When asked why she spent more time amongst these sunflowers than any other flower she smiled and said Wouldn’t anyone prefer dear friends over strangers?

In the illusionary world there lived a small kitten. She was no ordinary kitten though! She could read and she would write, and she knew when to tell a lie. Or so she insisted. When asked how come a kitten like her knew such things she said It’s because my master is so good and kind to me. She has taught me everything I know! .... Except for the part about lying. That was a lie.

In the illusionary world there lived a girl who could remember everything she ever saw, in all of her lifetimes. Because of this, she had been assigned the work of keeping the record of all the illusionary world. When asked how she shouldered the heavy burden of this important role she said Oh, but my role is far from the most important one. I just keep the records.

In the world of dreams under the lake of blood lived certain women, ruthlesly woken up from her sleep, accused for crimes wich she said she did not commit were attacked furious shrine maiden. Although she just woke up she put quite a fight. As battle continued she had enough and disappeared, foolish miko wanted to chase her but she did not understand untill youkai called to her: that she will not fight anyone so weak that he plays easy modo ;_;

Good stuff.

>>7450587
Ahaha, true story, that.

>>7450587
this would have been actually pretty good if the grammar would be correct

In the land of illusion a trio of ghostly musicians reside, over the emotions of men, does their music preside. When once asked how they do this, they replied

Youkai use their talent over the heart to cause fear we use the same to play what they hold dear.

Don't ask me I just love to play. Maybe that love is what carries them away.

It is with the memory of our dear creator that we do. it is our hope that we can play this same memory to you.

>land of illusion

I laughed a little

>>7450780
D'eh. Just pretend I said "Illusionary world", I must have the song stuck in my head somewhere.

This has to be my favorite thread on /jp/ so far, you guys are awesome.

In the Illusionary World, between the dark Forest of Magic and the lively Human Village, there lived an eccentric shopkeeper, and there was his shop. When asked why he didn't want to find a better place for his gloomy store, he said, Well, you know, I have some faithful customers. Even if, most of the time, they don't buy anything, I am sure that they are just waiting for the perfect item to show up on my shelves. If I wasn't sure of this, I wouldn't spend so much money on the tea I serve them.

Sorry, English isn't my first langage.

In an unknown home on the edge of the Illusionary World there lived a nine-tailed fox, proudly serving her powerful master. So powerful was she that she herself possessed a servant of her own. When asked why she follows her master's every command, she replied She's been a mother to me for as long as I can remember. I owe everything to her. From my first tail to my last, until my dying breath. And now I too am something of a mother. That is why.

I am truly shocked that my thread was kept alive for so long. I had resigned to it's death, but apparently some weren't yet satisfied. Thank you for that.
>>7449910
I'd been meaning to recreate that thread for a long time and I finally went and did it.

I wish this thread would never die, its so fun to watch people exercise their creative muscles.

Bumping from?? page

I never got what the point of the spoiler text was.

In the illusionary world there lived an Anon, reading at his computer. He read flowery stories that stirred his imagination, which helped him paint pictures in his mind that he would probably never see with his eyes. When asked why he thought these spoiler-clad stories were so intriguing, he said Because I look at them and can't help but wonder what will come next

Put in a plainer way, the spoiler tags evoke a sense of anticipation as for just a micro-second you wonder what the character says. After you're already drawn in with a vivid description of the setting, it's easier to get a tiny emotional response, and the spoiler tags serve to make that response one of wonder

In the Illusionary world a lonely girl lived. long past has this girl met her fate, but before, three magical musicians, she did create. Once asked why she did, she did state I suppose it was selfish and I was alone but now I look at them and how much they've grown Much time with them did I spend I feel I am ready to see to my end.

>>7453132
It could also be used to an extent to set the flow, least that's how I use it.

>>7453133

bump to save from death

In the diabolic realm of the illusionary world there lived a goddess of demons. The creator of all she saw, her motives, as ever, was as mysterious as she was powerful. When asked if her tale in this story was over, she said nothing to stop her maid from drawing and throwing a blade in one swift movement. Do not question the Goddess of Makai, for though she may be kind or cruel or of any other form, you would not survive to find out.

Within a vast library of the scarlet mansion that dwells in the world of illusion, there lives a learned and intelligent witch. She spends her days researching and studying various books, shutting herself in and away from the rays of the sun, the soft feel of grass, and the cool wind blowing through her hair. When I inquired about whether she misses the outside world or not, she answered... There's never enough time for me to be dawdling outside, I am much too busy My hair and books would also get damaged from all the sun The worlds inside these books are just as good, maybe even better than what is outside the mansion ...however.... show me otherwise...and i may reconsider...

To reach satisfaction in all
desire its possession in nothing.

To come to possess all
desire the possession of nothing.

To arrive at being all
desire to be nothing.

To come to the knowledge of all
desire the knowledge of nothing.

To come to the pleasure you have not
you must go by a way in which you enjoy not.

To come to the knowledge you have not
you must go by a way in which you know not.

To come to the possession you have not
you must go by a way in which you possess not.

To come to be what you are not
you must go by a way in which you are not.

>>7455277
To possess, to be, to know all is impossible in the first place. The closest you can get to having everything is by considering everything else as nothing.

At the gate of a mansion in the Hidden World, there sat a guardian at rest.
Not out of exhaustion or tire of the world, it’s simply what she did the best.
Her garb was as green as the grass where she lay, and it spoke of her Orient home.
And though she was far from the land that she’s from, she now stays where the magic ones roam.
Among the faeries and ghosts and mysterious beings, she has a small place she belongs.
Making friends of spell-casters and beings of the night, somehow the girl still gets along.
Though by some of this land she’s looked down upon still, for her difference in origins and power,
She lives out her days standing guard at the gate, but will nap just to pass by the hours.
You see among her own kind she’s as strong as they come, having honed the combat of body and mind.
In her new home the beings of magic surpass her, so she often will get left behind.
So while the world sees her sleeping and carefree, her duty being shirked as she lay.
She dreams of the glory of being the strongest, and imagines it until that day.
That day when her work be rewarded, and her great power acknowledge as so.
But that time never may come for this dreamer, who lives in the hidden world of Gensokyo.

>>7455335
That's rather relative

>>7455338
Difficult rhyme scheme is difficult

>>7455345
Just how i interpret some parts of it. Isn't that how poetry becomes different from person to person?

>>7455360
Well that's partially why i said its relative.

Outside of the illusionary world, there is someone beginning their journey. Normal and dreamy, thinking about something that should exist, they prepare for the eventual passing from one world to the next. When asked if they are uncertain of their choice, they respond I am leaving because I see something better. A whole world of magic exists and is awaiting me. It would be wrong to keep them waiting any more.

On a dark night,
Kindled in love with yearnings--oh, happy chance!--
I went forth without being observed,
My house being now at rest.

In darkness and secure,
By the secret ladder, disguised--oh, happy chance!--
In darkness and in concealment,
My house being now at rest.

In the happy night,
In secret, when none saw me,
Nor I beheld aught,
Without light or guide, save that which burned in my
heart.

This light guided me
More surely than the light of noonday
To the place where she was awaiting me--
A place where none appeared.

Oh, night that guided me,
Oh, night more lovely than the dawn,
Oh, night that joined beloved with lover,
Lover transformed in the beloved!

Upon my flowery breast,
Kept wholly for himself alone,
There she stayed sleeping, and I caressed her,
And the fanning of the cedars made a breeze.

The breeze blew from the turret
As I parted her locks;
With his gentle hand she wounded my neck
And caused all my senses to be suspended.

I remained, lost in oblivion;
My face I reclined on the beloved.
All ceased and I abandoned myself,
Leaving my cares forgotten among the lilies.

>>7455385
that shouldn't exist*

>>7455368
sorry, thought you were being sarcastic

On a road through the illusionary world there lived a series of signs. Quiet and stoic they stood, providing an anecdote to travelers youkai and human. When read closely and attention was paid to them, they said, AngelsWho guard youWhen you driveUsuallyRetire at 65Burma-Shave

Wandering the Illusionary World is a spirit, unshackled from the cycle of life and death. She walks the boundary between white and black, causing weal and woe for those around her. When asked why she is so mercurial, she says I have eternity to look forward to. Why should I spend it on just one side of the road?

I didn't think the average anon was capable of writing things as beautiful as what's in this thread.

I'm not even going to attempt anything myself - my favourite characters have been done already, and you've said it better than I ever could.

>>7455510
Who is your favourite?

>>7455349
Not really, the rhyme scheme is just AA BB CC etc.
The rhythm does stumble a bit though

>>7455546

My favourite character is Remilia.

My favourite piece from this thread is >>7443593 but it's unfair to say that really because by the time I got to the end of the thread I had to grab a tissue and dry my eyes.

I wish I could write about Gensokyo the way you all have done so here.

>>7455510
Go ahead and write. The point is that you tried.

>>7455584

Um, does it have to be in that style? Because I don't think I can do that. I can do *something*, though, I think.

>>7455594
There's no style you have to adhere to, people just decided to because the OP did, you can see examples of posts that varied from it.

>>7455597

I hope this is suitable for now. I have posted it on here before a long time ago, in case somebody recognizes it. Sorry I couldn't come up with something brand new. I guess I can't force myself to write on command like this.

It's nighttime.
The air is cool - there's a slight breeze coming down off the mountain.
There are no clouds in the sky. Look - all the stars are out - they look somehow even more beautiful than back home. The moon's full. Is Keine out there somewhere, scaring people in hakutaku form?
You're walking along a gravel road. Lanterns at either side illuminate your way and allow you to see the trees on both sides - you're walking through the Forest of Magic. Where are you on your way to? You don't know, but then again, you don't really care either. You're in Gensokyo. You can see that perfect sky and you can feel the cool air on your face... and you can hear voices coming from a short way down the road. There's laughter. Your heart beats a little faster as you think of who it could be. You're not afraid. You increase your pace. You'll find out who's there soon enough, you think. You're in Gensokyo now... so take it easy!

>>7455611
I like it. It's different but good.

Tucked away in the mountains of the East, on the edge of the illusionary world and this one, there lives a beautiful maiden. Optimistic and undaunted by adversary, kind to a fault, she lives alone in the lonesome expanse of a shrine, she watches them cross one by one. When asked if she ever gets lonely or if she has any family at all, she said, I know they must love meso I had to let them pass, just as you cannot leave here, they can never come back.

I like the descriptions of the surroundings, me being a sucker for scenes, it makes it more emersive.

... I am appalled, /jp/. I was only half expecting a good turn out. Having my thread last -this- long was anything but expected. I thank you all, once again, for your contributions, time and creativity.
