Average mans trip to Gensokyo

Daily Routine

It was your normal, average Thursday. Nothing of note, my alarm went off and I had woken up. I washed away my remaining drowsiness and brushed my teeth. I glanced at myself in the mirror 'there was never much to you' I thought. Hah! I'm talking like I've already lived my life, no I'm nowhere near that old and sour yet. I've also got places to be so no more dawdling. I whip on my uniform, quickly eat some breakfast and head out, another day of school ahead of me.

"Ah there he is" My morning friend had come to greet me. I had gotten used to his arrivals. "What a good boy" He was an alley cat that had warmed up to me and I him. I didn't own him of course, that's why I refer to him as a friend. I rub the top of his head and then his chin, met by a purr I could tell I was doing something right. I took a few cat treats from my bag and fed him. I knew that I wasn't supposed to, but I liked doing it. "Be careful now, wouldn't want you getting hurt" Alley cats often get into accidents. I'd like to think that by telling him to be careful he'll avoid such a fate.

I continue my walk to school head held high ready for the day. I put my left foot forward and bring it down onto nothing, I fell catching a glimpse of a void filled with eyes staring straight into me. I heard a chuckle 'sadistic' was my first thought. I'm floating in a sea of nothing I try to look around but my left is no different from my right. "What? What's going on!?" Fear had started seeping into my veins. "Unlucky I guess" the voice only worsened my already terrified state "Who said that!?" were the only words I could muster before I was seemingly spat out the other end.

I hit the floor with a thud, it was rather comfortable for being the ground I thought. It was a luxury carpet, it was in great condition and well maintained.

"Where am I now?"

All of this was starting to hurt my head. First things first though I should get off the floor, nobody who owns a carpet like this would appreciate some school kid laying on it. I get to my feet and brush myself off, my bags still here so I haven't been robbed, that's a good start.

"I need to look for someone, or the exit at least... would this be counted as trespassing?"

I begin to walk the halls of the mansion, this place is massive there's priceless vases and paintings all over the place an odd majority of them featuring a young woman with bat wings

"Strange, but everybody has their tastes I gu-"

"An escapee?"

The response had sent a chill down my spine, I whipped my head to where I had heard the voice and was met with a silver haired woman in a maids outfit. She must be the caretaker of this place. I'll explain my situation to her and ask her for directions out of this place.

"Ah, you frightened me. Sorry about this, I'm not quite sure where I am. Could I ask you for directions?"

She looks at me confused. I thought it was a fairly reasonable question but I guess it wasn't to her

"Don't try and fool me. You know perfectly well where you are, to escape and then play dumb. The gall of some people."

"W-Wait I'm sorry if I've done something wrong, I really d-"

"Enough talking, I tire of this"

Within the blink of an eye she's gone and then, right before me. I feel something collide into my chest pain reverberates through my body, my legs buckle and I fall in a heap to the ground.

Never before had I felt such a devastating blow, my mind was blank as I threw up onto the once immaculate carpet. My entire body was racked with fear. I was shaking uncontrollably.

"Are you serious? Who do you think will have to clear this up?"

I could barely make sense of her words before blacking out completely.

A.N.: So how'd that go? I'll be the first to admit that my knowledge of Touhou is shaky at best so I'd appreciate any pointers in the comments. I'll do my best to try and keep everyone as in character as the story will allow. I'm unhappy with how short this chapter is and future ones will for sure be longer. Any and all criticism is welcome in the comments, even if it's just "Hey this is shit" Sorry for rambling! Have a good one!
