Snippet #2825620

It had been quite some time since the last word from the denizens of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remilia Scarlet had suspended all contact with those she had previously spoken to in Terra, focusing on internal matters within Gensokyo itself. It was unusual for someone as lively and dignified as herself to enter an antisocial period of near-hermit behavior. After some time though, the lights begun to shine in the Scarlet Devil Mansion's few windows visible outside, and fairy maids who were once locked inside were now leaving the mansion to tend to the grounds - both maintaining the gardens on the Gensokyan side and also trimming the shrubbery which had started to overtake the road leading from Castle Vankoryth to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

A letter was sent out to many of her associates and former friends, a letter of apology...

To whom it may concern,
You likely have noticed my absence of late. The Scarlet Devil Mansion has been practically dead - dead as a doornail. What was once a community locale of friendship and unity had entered into a strange period of hibernation...I apologize, sincerely, for this and wish to extend an invitation to visit the mansion to those who may wish to see me once more. We will be resuming operations as per before, and with that goods and services from Gensokyo will be available to the residents of Terra once more.

If you have never been to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the doors are open for guests - just announce your arrival ahead of time and one of my maids will see to you. If you are looking for an audience with me, please give me at least a couple of days time to prepare, if it isn't urgent.

Yours truly,
Remilia Scarlet

Remilia had her fairy maids deliver these letters out, especially to the Vavkoryth as they had likely been curious or concerned as to what happened to their prior ally...for now, Remilia was focused on rebuilding her prestige and relationships again...maybe, just maybe, she'll attain her heights once more as the regal Scarlet Devil - feared, respected, and beloved...
