A lone girl wearing a white shirt, a red vest and white pants sat drinking tea at her desk. It was pleasant night, not too much darkness, not too much fog nor noise. So she certainly took that solace and rested as she waited for that unlucky client that may just come rushing in on nights like this. Her longcase clock ticked the night away.

Kriinggg~

And as expected, someone did arrive. The door creaked open for a girl with a wide brimmed hat to enter. She had waist long blonde hair. and wore a black oversized cloak that covered her body fully, along with leather boots. The girl greeted the other. "Yo, Reimu!"

"Marisa" The one at the chair nodded and let her tea down. "Any reason why I'm seeing you in my office this late?"

"Aw... I just wanted to visit my one and only best friend, Reimu! Ya know I get lonely very easily."

"..." Reimu stares.

Marisa scratches her head and grins. "Well that and... notice anything new?"

Reimu shrugs. "Hm... Not really, though I'd say you look like a back alley dealer rather than the usual badly dressed lunatic, did Alice finally go crazy dealing with you and got rid of all your clothes? Because I'm pretty sure those aren't yours, I pity whoever it is you stole them from."

"Hey! That's uncalled for!" With a glare and clenched teeth, Marisa pulled something circular from somewhere and prepared to throw it. "Wanna go?!" She grins.

Reimu narrows her eyes and made an action to pull something out too when something caused Marisa's face to kiss the floor. "HEY!" She tries stand, but a faceless mannequin dressed in a formal suit held her down. "LET ME GO! ALICE!"

"I let you get ahead because I trusted that my situation would have you grounded for the time being. Turns out you just can't resist expressing your affections and have to make it harder on us civilized women." Another girl entered, the mannequin that pushed Marisa down made it's way to the girl's side and stood beside her. "Good work Sebastian, Now please leave us be." The mannequin bowed and made it's exit. "Hello Investigator Hakurei." Marisa glared at the newcomer then stood up and started looking around Reimu's office, leaving the two to talk.

Reimu sighs," Didn't take you for someone to crawl through a chimney and breathe smoke Margatroid." Indeed, the girl's skin looked a few less shades ashen. Not only that, her full dress that once were pristinely made with varying colors were now had a dull pallette of white grey and black. She wore white gloves and had grey boots. "Those clothes look like they'd be a pain to wash if they weren't already."

"If only this were that, I wouldn't need to come here late at night, no?" She states, clearly offended. She then sighs, "And thankfully, this... change isn't caused by me playing Old Nick, Kaku already has that handled."

"Kaku...? Oh, Seiga. How's that hag doing?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Eh, can't hurt to, no?"

Alice sighs, "Well... last I've seen of her is when she commissioned a maid outfit for her... servant."

"Ugh... creepy." Reimu shivered.

"Necromancer aside, Can we get to bussiness?"

"Sure, Take a seat." Reimu gestures to a mahogany seat at the front and parallel to her desk.

"Thank you."

"Tea?" Reimu made a gesture to her teapot.

"Yes, please."

"Hey, Marisa! Could you get us a cup here?"

There was no response from the girl. Reimu sighs.

"Get yourself one too while you're at it!"

"Yohoo~ You're the best Reims!" The sound of an opening cupboard was heard over the kitchen.
