Light Sensitivity

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

Hello, I am Queen Nanashi of Kuninoryu.

In my home we do not have nearly as much light as there is here on the ship, and as such, my eyes are aching from the excess of light.

I am aware that on this ship there are many people from various worlds. I hope that one of you might be able to suggest something that could help my situation.

Thank you greatly for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Nanashi, Queen of Kuninoryu

What sort of work did you do then?

[thirdeyesighted.livejournal.com]

Managing the operation of the Hell of Blazing Fires, keeping the Underground City's evil spirits from rampaging out of control, and ensuring that nobody crosses between the two realms without a good reason.

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

That does sound gruelling, and an awful like ruling.

[thirdeyesighted.livejournal.com]

Fortunately, it wasn't something I had to do all on my own. Most of the difficult work was ultimatey delegated to the stronger and wiser among my pets.

I like you, little one. Are you human? It is so hard to tell by these comm pictures alone. Did you have devices like this where you came from?

[thirdeyesighted.livejournal.com]

Human? Heavens no. I am a youkai, specifically of the kind named for my grandmother and myself - the Satori.

As for these devices, I think they have something of the sort in the wider surface world, but not in Hell.

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

Youkai. Does that mean demon or ghost in your native tongue as it does mine?

They are useful devices. I wish we had them in my country.

[thirdeyesighted.livejournal.com]

It's an oversimplification, but along those lines, yes.

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

It's rather hard to explain all of the subtleties of the world with the translation in effect.

[thirdeyesighted.livejournal.com]

Regardless, I believe we're using the word in more or less the same way.

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

In that case, you might consider me a youkai as well. You also speak as one older than your image shows.

[thirdeyesighted.livejournal.com]

Most youkai are.

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

This is true. I suppose you are older than you look. Are you old enough where I should not be calling you little one, little one?

[thirdeyesighted.livejournal.com]

123 isn't particularly old for my kind, but call me what you wish.

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

123 is very young for my kind, even if the body has reached maturity at the same age a human body does, you are considered a child until you are at least 500, but I do not think a vampire has learned enough to be an adult until they are at least 1000.

[thirdeyesighted.livejournal.com]

There are a pair of vampires in Gensokyo of about 500 years, and they are very much children.

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

I rest my case.
