A Stay in Gensokyo

Chapter Three - Enter The Rainy Magician

When expecting guests, one would usually check if the household's clean and tidy. However Alice doesn't fall into that category, instead she stood beside the door with her arms crossed. Aside from that, a few dolls enter with hammers, nails and wooden boards as though they were going to repair an object. However there was nothing in the room that needed that.

With the shimmering sound of what seems to be someone flying on a broomstick from the window.  A knock resounded from the door soon after as they pet their clothes in distress.

Alice heaves a sigh and opens the door readily.

"Yo!"

A very upbeat greeting resounded however Alice slammed the door on her.

"H-hey Alice! That's very mean you know, open up It's cold out here!!~"

Pounding heavily on the door, Alice forces the door open once more.

"A-ahaha, Y-yo, evening Alice! M-Marisa makes an entrance da ze..?"

As though to seek forgiveness, 'Marisa' smiles wryly at the door.

"If you were able to visit me, you could have gone back to your own house, Marisa."

"Yeah but your house is closer to the meadow! I was hunting for mushrooms for my stew and then the rain started! Talk about luck, I'm all soaked!"

"The rain does follow you wherever you go, rainy magician."

"Ahh, don't bring that incident back up. I don't even want to think about the amount of times I got soaked."

"Anyway, mind if I use your shower real quick?"

Alice thrusts her hand forward as though she was about to accept an item.

"Mushrooms?"

"E-ehh?"

"The mushrooms, you were picking some for a stew, correct?"

"A-ahahaha, I said that? W-well you see... As I was flying I was in kind of a rush and they all kinda..."

"Fell?"

Alice finishes her sentence.

"Y-yes..."

She hunches forward in defeat.

"Hurry up and wash up then, I was planning to cook anyways."

"Oo, I get to eat Alice's home cooking again!!~"

Passing her broom stick onto Alice, the magician walks pass as the dolls followed behind her. Armed with cloths, they wipe clean of the puddles dripping from her outfit.

As she turns towards my direction, she mutters a simple 'Oh' followed by a grin before leaving the room.

Dressed in black and white clothing as Alice mentioned before. At first glance one couldn't really tell if Alice was speaking the truth, that she was a 'maniac' of a magician. She wore a large black wizard hat, accompanied by a dress that heavily resembles the one worn by Alice's dolls. Bearing long golden hair and eyes, she had her left side braided tied with a purple ribbon.

She had the attire of a typical fantasy magician, and if Alice's words were true I assume that she even rides on her broom.

With another sigh, Alice places down the broomstick which was given to her by the wall and sits back down.

"A friend..?"

Clearly it was a rhetorical question as they seemed quite comfortable with each other. Able to drop in uninvited but still able to enter. However Alice seemed to be apathetic the whole time.
