A beautiful mountain shrine, with sakura petals blowing past its crimson gates. Colorful talismans and origami cranes gently swayed in the breeze while a shrine maiden knelt in prayer before the shrine itself.
[CyberAnonID] Ok so hear out. John is an alien and Myth Inc is his ploy to take over the world.
[] lol. Soone's been reading too much sci-fi
[] Yeah right. And Titor is a real ti traveler.
[] I still think John's a criminal overlord and this is just money laundering.

Waiting for Tsuba Akari Ch.
[]
[] :lt:
[] She sounds so lovely...
[] N-No! Must not head towards the light...!
[] An angel...?
The soft white light started to move. Like a brush painting light in the darkness, trails of white blurred across the screen.
[] Is this... a dance?
[] I'm lost. But it's pretty?
[] I feel like I'm watching a real ritual... Should I be scared?
Golden sparks flickered, lighting up the dark. With it, a faint silhouette could be seen slowly twirling.
A beautiful young woman with a delicate face, as if gently carved by a master artisan. Wearing mysterious white robes with crimson highlights, she swayed with the music, dancing within the darkness. Her light brown hair trailed behind her as she moved.
Like a flickering candle in the night, her presence alone repelled the dark, leaving both light and color where she moved.
[] This is different.
[] Do we... do we have an actual pure idol?
[] A shrine maiden turned idol. Makes sense.
[punny_puppy] You an makes dollars and cents. :sunglasses:
[trunks_hi] @punny_puppy YOU NEED TO BE STOPPED!
A *swish* echoed. The shrine maiden flicking her sleeve to the right. With it, candles ignited, pushing back the darkness.
[] Whoa!
[] Wait. So is this all CG or real?
[] I am... 100% confused.
[] Chillvibes with a miko. I'm down for that.
The shrine maiden flicked her sleeve to the left, causing more candles to ignite. And with that, the darkness was kept at bay, revealing the surroundings.
It was a cave. One that seed to have polished obsidian walls, reflecting the orange flas from the candles. But it wasn't just the opening of a cave. No, it was the deepest depths of a cave. The walls surrounded the shrine maiden in every direction except for where the cara appeared to be.
And as for where the cara appeared to be...
A gray stone shrine gate frad the edges of the screen. A torii, marking the transition from the mundane to the sacred.
[] A-Are we dead?
[] The new trailer for New Goddess Rebirth looks legit.
[] So if this is CG... But those reflections... Hnnngh
The shrine maiden continued to dance, gently twirling her sleeves as she moved. And as she did, golden lights started to flicker into existence.
And with that, the stone gate started to react. Golden light trailed down the sides, revealing spiraling kanji characters etched in the stone. Two, repeated over and over.
[] Quick! Translator-san!
[Translator_San] Life and... death?
[] Did... Did John just pick up Izanami's reincarnation?
The golden light continued to shine on the stone gate. And as it did, the etched kanji started to shine with crimson light.
But the shrine maiden didn't take notice, her eyes half-lidded as if in a trance. While the light shined, she continued to dance.
[] Yo. I'm starting to get a bit spooked.
[] I-Is... this an actual ritual?
[loreowl] IS ANYONE LISTENING TO THESE LYRICS?! THE LORE! THE LORE!
[rationalrabbit] @loreowl you need to chill man
The stone gate cracked before shattering into dust. At least, that was what it seed to do. But when the dust settled, they turned into shining crimson gates, the kanji now a pure gold.
And with that, the somber tolls of a funeral bell reverberated sowhere in the distance.
[] Anyone notice the chat suddenly slow down?
[] I-I don't want to be isekai'd yet!
[] I see Project MirAIs has expanded to hiring reincarnations of goddesses now.
[] I thought this generation was 'Prodigy', not 'Divine'...
A crimson fla started to appear behind the shrine maiden before enveloping her. But instead of burning her or her clothes, the flas traced out a wedding veil. And with the appearance of the veil, a reflection erged beneath the shrine maiden's feet.
Another beautiful woman. But this one was older. Long crimson hair that trailed like a veil of flas. Robes that were similar to the shrine maiden's, but red and gold instead of white and red.
As one, the two danced, both oblivious to the other.
[TITOR?] YABAI.
[] H-Hey! What do you an, 'YABAI', Mister Titor?!
[] Are we going to get sucked away?!
[] I-It looks like this shrine maiden needs more than just our money as offerings...
The music slowly ca to an end. As it did, the shrine maiden ca to a stop, folding her hands together in prayer. She bowed her head, causing her hair to cover her eyes.
Below her, the woman did the sa. But there was a difference. While the shrine maiden simply stood there in silence, tears dripped down the woman's face.
Glittering lights fell to the woman's feet, causing crimson flas to spread out all around the cave.
The candles were snuffed out by the flas, their light stolen by the crimson fire. And then the flas enveloped the shrine maiden.
The crimson light shined brighter and brighter. As it did, the stone gate started to crack.
And then the gate shattered, and everything vanished, plunged into darkness.
[] WTF is actually going on?!
[] That was beautiful!
[] :applause:
Silence.
And then a gentle voice called out. "Thank you for watching my dance and indulging in a mont of selfishness."
Lights suddenly turned on, dispelling the dark.
The shrine maiden was still standing there, wearing the sa white and red robes. But the surroundings had changed.
Instead of the dark depths of a mysterious cavern that completely looked like the gateway to the underworld, the shrine maiden was standing in front of a long wall mirror, reflecting a modern dance studio.
She let out a bright smile and then bowed. "That was 'Death and Rebirth,' a ritual dance portraying the sorrow of a goddess forsaken by her lover." She raised her head and then frowned. "I always seem to beco a bit emotional when I perform it, but I hope that it went well."
[] ...She's totally Izanami's reincarnation, isn't she?
[] 100%
[] Robots, dragons, ti travelers, a martial arts prodigy... And Project MirAIs is an idol group?
The shrine maiden hid her mouth with her sleeve and giggled before shaking her head. After lowering her arm, she smiled and said, "Well. I hope I have made an impression upon you. I am afraid I am not quite as interesting as my senpais or my peers, but I hope we can have pleasant tis together and enjoy each other's company."
[StraightGarbage] Bets on how long it takes for her to crack?
[] @StraightGarbage Don't you dare.
[] We finally have a pure idol!
[] Looking forward to it too!
[] Another chill strear to leave on in the background. Neat.
[] Her voice does things to . Is that bad?
The shrine maiden glanced to the side, reading sothing. And then her eyes widened. "Forgive ." She shook her head and said, "It seems that I forgot the most important part of introductions." She bowed and said, "My na is Tsuba Akari. Please, take care of ."
[] No, no. Please take care of us.
[] Take my offerings!
[MikoAppreciator] SASAGEYO! SASAGEYO! SHINZOU WO SASAGEYO!
[rationalrabbit] Y'all. Never change.
