She was going around, laughing and being jolly, pointing a finger and waving some pieces of paper in the faces of everyone she met saying things like "I told you so!", "That's what you get if you don't listen to your supreme overlord!" and other snarky but good-natured jests. Hmm... I wonder why?
Oh... I see what happened now...
It's like they're about to have a head-butting competition. Or they're searching for their contacts.
Oh, how awful! Is Okuu's Look-alike laughing because Almaz Beoulve and Hinoko Gassenarl broke up? After all, wasn't it only a couple of days ago that she was complaining that islanders shouldn't use blind dates to get hooked up because they barely know each other before getting together? But... just going with the flow... Okuu's Look-alike is rather wicked, isn't she? As she likes to say "Hurt yourselves all you want, but hurting others is where I draw the line."
But wow, that was a really short relationship, in fact I'm certain it's the shortest-ever relationship on this island. It was also the fourth break-up ever, and the third between two unmarried islanders.
The previous three break-ups were between Shinmyoumaru Sukuna and Armin Arlert, who broke up because Sukuna fell for Overlord Laharl's charms, second, between Yuuka Kazami and Drake Kitazawa, because Yuuka found the feisty frenchy Augustine Sycamore so much more interesting than the naïve old Utonium. The last breakup, or divorce rather, was between Wriggle Nightbug and Kyouko Kasodani, who tried to work out their differences (what differences? They're like a dog and its flea!) but failed - thankfully, they realised their mistake soon enough and were hooked up again the very next day.
It's interesting to note how all these
romances which have broken up were between couples which were introduced
to each other via a blind date. Yes, that includes Kyouko and Wriggle, despite the two being the only children on the island at the time they got hitched. In contrast with the
abrupt love-at-first-sight nature of a blind date, a true romance builds
over time through the establishment of a good friendship. It was
probably that Sukuna and Yuuka liked their new partners
(and present husbands) much better than their old boyfriends precisely
because they had bothered to establish a relationship and were gutsy
enough to actually ask them out. Nevermind that Sycamore himself was the person who had originally set Yuuka and Utonium up in the first place, what a poisonous friend!
A breakup in the making - telling godawful 'jokes', followed by domestic abuse. What do you mean that's the wrong order of pictures?
grumbling about the past couple of days? It's like she was trying to say "If you're not married with kids, your relationship isn't important to me." That's so like ... quite a lot of first-world countries nowadays, don't you think?
It's funny how Almaz suddenly became really popular right after he broke up with Hinoko, though. All of a sudden, requests came flooding in from people who wanted to become friends with him or introduce him to another of their mates. And he had absolutely no involvement with it at all, reportedly being asleep in bed at the time this hubbub arose. How could this happen? Well, the answer could be pinpointed back to Okuu's Look-alike once again.
She might be mean and a huge grump, but it looks like she actually tried to do something about islanders who have fallen into depression - short of giving them Travel Tickets, that is. While having someone else take them on a holiday won't cheer them out of their depression, feeding them their All-Time Favourite or Favourite foods will do it. And if those aren't yet known, another neat but chancey technique exists, that of helping them to make a new friend to replace the one they lost. And what better way to specifically get someone to make a new friend than to coerce... um, to gently suggest and persuade other islanders to ask them to be their friend?
How sneaky, and yet, effective when it does work! Sometimes practicality is all that matters. Unfortunately, the same procedure could not be repeated for Hinoko, who was utterly crushed after Almaz decided to dump her for good (probably after finding her yaoi porn stash), and she sequestered herself in her room to become a hikikomori for life, uh, implying she wasn't already a shut-in of sorts.
Their eyes aren't even looking at each other! And Hinoko reflects after decades of depression-induced seclusion on her breakup... NOT!
Ugh, this is so depressing, talking about other people's depression. I'm getting depressed too! No, no, I'm young, lively, cheerful, and I have a bright future ahead of me. I don't want to become someone like Nozomu Itoshiki who spends every waking hour in despair. Let's move on to happy things, alright?
Oh, yes! Patchouli Knowledge and Overlord Mao announced the birth of their second child, a healthy, bouncing baby demon, uh, boy who goes by the name of Adnachiel. What does that even mean? It sounds like some sort of religious figure...
Actually, it's the name of a three-eyed space alien demon that shoots lasers from a gun built into its hand, or so Okuu's Look-alike tells me. And she just wanted an excuse to give the kid a name starting with the letter A. How's anyone supposed to know that? Or perhaps other people not knowing and thinking it was some kind of theological name was part of the intention? Or maybe she's joking? Is this Punk'd or something?
That being said, he looks quite fine for a baby, though. Well, a baby born with eyebags and a piercing stare inherited from his mother, but I'm definitely counting two eyes, not three, so it can't possibly be a space alien. And no, no gun anywhere, so definitely not a space alien. I hope.
I didn't say he was a space alien, just named after one. But he's most probably a demon, considering who his parents are.
There hasn't been much to report these couple of days, but what little there was proved to be startling. Perhaps no news is good news after all? Well, I can certainly say that for me that would be the case, I mean I get paid and given a food allowance and stuff without actually having to do anything! It's great! It feels so free, not having any reporting to do...
Uh, miss Shameimaru? What's that stack of eight files you've got with you? What? Start the reports on the fourth batch of eight residents of Gensokyo Island sharpish?
Nooo!!! Oh well, Kiba and I will see you next time with the products of our research. Me and my big mouth, tempting fate like that...
