Amaranthus caudatus

[If anyone is passing by and can see Yuuka's backyard garden today...they will bear witness to something quite odd. Yuuka is merely sitting on her back porch...and the laughter and giggles from a drone daughter of about 7 or 8 years old can be heard lilting through her garden. This drone daughter is the one who has been in the household since she

[And at some point, a truly MASSIVE swarm of insects will be descend upon the garden in order to devour every single plant. They won't try to harm Yuuka or the drone child and will not retaliate if attacked, but neither will they stop. Not until their job is complete, or until they're dead.

Or until Wriggle is, wherever the firefly might be now.]

-Jotaro doesn't normally stop to interfere in Yuuka's issues. But... That was just so bizarre. And a little unsettling. He uses a simple time stop, trying to identify the source of the swarm. Seems to be coming from another home... he'll follow them.-

[glowbrighter]

[The swarm will appear to be originating from the house at 1335 Benny Road, as it's where the bugs gather together from all over the town before flying straight to Yuuka's garden.

However, their master won't be there to egg them on. Wriggle knows that it'll be obvious who sent the horde, and she's not going to give Yuuka (or anyone else) the easiest chance to kill her by sticking around the most obvious place.]

-Clever girl. But Jotaro is far far more clever than most. And he's already getting a few ideas of what to do. He summons Star Platinum, using his senses to cast his vision to the distance... find the source of the signal the bugs are following.-

WTF is this shit

*Reimu doesn't actually think those words, but it is quite close. She walks out of the house and stares at what's going on.*

.......

[Yuuka doesn't even look at her.]

Can I help you?

[nekomikoreimu]

Um, what are you doing Yuuka? This behavior is... odd, for you.

[convallariaceae]

Oh, a bit jealous?

You're welcome to go play with your little sister, if you'd like.

[wise_king]

[pulling up a chair and chilling with the youkai]

[convallariaceae]

Oh, who's this boy who assumes he's welcome wherever he wishes?

[wise_king]

Just a passerby. I won't bother you, I promise.

[convallariaceae]

Hmm...it seems you know how to behave.

How rare, in a place like this.

[ahoge_goddess]

[Does not keep her out of her sight for an instant]

[convallariaceae]

[And Yuuka's not going to do anything disturbing, or twisted, or anything. Just continue to let the child play, sometimes responding to her cries of "Mommy! Mommy! Look at me!" No nee to be shy, Shinki...you can come and talk to her.]

[ahoge_goddess]

Kazami.

[convallariaceae]

[Yuuka doesn't look away from her supervision of the child, but still properly greets Shinki.]

Hello there, Shinki. How are you doing today?

[redorblueshot]

[derp?]

Is that your...daughter?

[convallariaceae]

Yes, the drone child who has managed to stay in the house ever since I first arrived.

Why do you ask?

[redorblueshot]

She's really adorable. You can clearly see the family resemblance.

[giggles]

[convallariaceae]

Amusing joke.

[The drone child has now appeared from the garden, waving happily at Kohaku.]

"Hi miss Ogg!" [After which she quickly disappears into the flowers again.]

She is only a drone child, after all.
