Different Shades of Gray



The Anon of "Scarlet Horizon" was named Earl Grey for a very specific reason, though this will make itself clear as the story progresses.

I originally planned for the Anon of "Magical Rhapsody" to have "White" as part of his name, while the Anon of the /border/ story to have "Black". I was toying with the French term for white, "Blanc", perhaps as "Joshua Blanc" or such. For "Black", I was planning to use the Japanese terms "kuro" and "kawa", perhaps as "Sheid Kurokawa". However, having them all as Gray/Grey is fine as well.

While they have their own separate stories, the tone for each is quite different. The /border/ story in particular is planned to be quite dark compared to the others (the references to "the children" may be a key plot point).

I find it quite intriguing that the votes on each story are leading to a name that involves "Gray" or "Grey". This is definitely a pleasant surprise, as it is beyond my own expectations.

I suppose this either reflects the hive-mind of Anonymous, or perhaps something else - that all Anon protagonists are neither completely black, nor completely white in their character.

3rd Parallel Story


There is a 3rd story running currently in http://www.touhouproject.com/border/. This runs in the same timeline and universe as Magical Rhapsody and Scarlet Horizon. Latest updates will be at the link above.

I may create a public archive of it, but I am waiting for a few more signs.
