gensoquote

Like fortune, but in Gensokyo and memory safe™.

Examples

"I'm the strongest!"
-- Cirno, "Phantasmagoria of Flower View"

"... She was supposed to be strong? Wait, she's your shikigami? Aren't you a shikigami yourself?"
-- Reimu Hakurei, "Perfect Cherry Blossom, Extra Stage"

"It ain't magic if it ain't flashy. Danmaku's all about firepower."
-- Marisa Kirisame, "Perfect Memento in Strict Sense"

"Read your mind? I've already closed my satori eye. Reading people's minds only makes you depressed, there's nothing good about it."
-- Koishi Komeiji to Reimu Hakurei, "Subterranean Animism, Extra Stage"
