"It's sexist because it implies that men are inferior to women in every aspect! Which, okay, in Touhou they pretty much are. But it's always one of those things that are best left unexplained!
"And you are definitely bishonen enough to pull off lace!" She insisted. "Bishonen are always tall! Alwaaaaaaaaaays."
She looked up when Michael did to see Alice and Marisa walk in. "YOU TWO. WHY ARE YOU HANGING AROUND WITH THIS LOSER."

Michael, feeling very thankful that the Cafe was empty save for them, pinched the bridge of his nose, muttering "I am not Bishonen, dammit. I'm not girly."
Alice looked at Ellie with a raised eyebrow. She then started rifling through a bag she was carrying.
Marisa got the "angry vein" on her forehead and said "Don't call him a loser, da ze! Who are you, anyway?!"

Canary hopped off of Ellie's head and fluttered over to Michael's. The bird tilted its head back and forth before beginning to peck at Michael's skull.
Ellie ignored her bird to round on Marisa. "Why are you defending him?! You're the snarky, straight-forward chick of the series, and you certainly don't stick your neck out for people in clearly harmless conversations like this!"
Yeah, she was pretty much over this.

Michael winced with every peck. "Ow, ow, OW! What's with your bird?" He had absolutely no idea what to do.
Marisa, on the other hand, was getting irritated. "I may be snarky and kind of a bitch to people at times, but I will always defend people that I care about. I may mess with Reimu all the time, I may borrow Patchy's books, I may joke around with Alice, but I'm not heartless, ze. 'Sides, you're screaming your head off at him, I could probably pass your face off as a ruby, and I don't think that that would be considered harmless."
Alice facepalmed at the situation, sighing heavily.

The canary, uncomprehending Michael's words, continued to peck at his head.
"And the Marisa I know isn't that honest," Ellie growled. "And I'm pretty sure I qualify as harmless. I'm a powerless little girl with a pet bird. I mean, come on."

Marisa shot back, "Powerless my ass, ze. You're like a magical black hole; you have no magical core whatever. I'm surprised I didn't realize it sooner. That canary of yours doesn't feel normal to me, either."
Alice sighed again. "Oh, dear. Yukari warned me about this. She said that the way we act might not match up to how most people think we act..." Alice suddenly stiffened with a sharp inhale. "W-what? How did she get here?!"
Marisa turned towards Alice, then she stiffened, too. "Gyah! Why is she here, ze?"
Michael just looked puzzled, trying to ignore the pecking. "Why is who here?"

Ellie tilted her head to the side. "'Magical core'? Whatever, wouldn't that be a lack of power? And stop using your 'ze' like it's some kind of speech tic!"
Canary continued to peck at Michael's head. The bird seemed quite preoccupied with murdering him.
"Who's here? Don't tell me it's another Touhou person, like Yuuka or Yukari or Okuu or..." Ellie continued to grumble to herself.

Michael twitched. He thought to himself, 'If this bird doesn't stop, I might have to use my power and shriek it. Then again, that might make her want to kill me, so I probably shouldn't risk it.'
Alice said, "No, if Yukari wanted to come here, she would have done so already; she was the one who sent us here to investigate. This is Yuka, no doubt about it..." Alice shuddered, some not-very-pleasant memories resurfacing.
Marisa said, more calmly than before, "No, a lack of power would be an underdeveloped magical core. Everyone has one, though most people typically can't access it. You don't, for whatever reason, and that sucks away magic from the area around you." Marisa thought for a minute. "By the way, the 'ze' thing kinda is a tic for me, but I'm trying to quit that habit."
Michael waved the bird away from his head. "So, what do we do about Yuka? She and I might be on decent terms, but I don't think she'd be so kind towards you two."
Marisa just shrugged. "I dunno."

Canary lifted into the air.... and then landed back down on Michael's head. The bird was quite tenacious.
"...You just said something that agreed with my point," Ellie said, facepalming. "A person with an underdeveloped magical core and a person with no magical core at all both are essentially powerless."
She picked a crowbar up from the table she'd been sitting at before. "But a physical fight, now that I can handle. As for Yuuka..."
She sat down on the table. "I'm going to watch the show."

Michael sighed. "Ellie, could you get your bird off of my head? We should probably go; Yuka might look for us, I don't want this bird of yours to get fried, and I don't really want to shriek it, either."
Alice started walking out of the cafe, Shanghai following. She turned back, and said, "I feel you should know, magic operates differently in different worlds. Lack of a magical core in Gensokyo is like a magical sponge, and an underdeveloped one lacks that effect; it is merely inaccessible." Alice flew out of the cafe.
Marisa just sweatdropped. "Eh... I got nothing more to say." Marisa flew out of the cafe, as well. When she got to a more open area, she pulled out her broom and flew off on that.
Michael just stood there, trying to ignore the bird and rifling through his pockets. "So... could you, please?"

"Di-Did everything I just say go through one ear and come out the other?!" Ellie cried. And then they all started flying out of the cafe. She waved her crowbar at them. "H-Hey! I'm not done with you yet! Get back here!"
She grumbled, and looked toward Michael. Canary finally flew off of his head.
And then Ellie hit Michael with a crowbar.
"Since they just ran off, you're going to have to take the pain for them," Ellie growled. "And I'm following. I need to see just how fucked up the Yuuka from your world is. And then maybe beat the shit out of her too."
Canary snuggled down in Ellie's hair and began to coo softly.

Michael's head shot down and he covered it with his hands. "Gyah! Ooow... I think I'd rather be punched by Suika than that... Sure, you can come, though I don't know exactly what your vision of Yuka is. Our Yuka isn't really 'fucked up,' she's just protective of her stuff."
Michael then started to straighten back up. "Please don't take what they said too personally, they're always like that, especially around stuff they're not familiar with. Their 'theories'," Michael airquoted, "are probably more conjecture than anything else. No one in Gensokyo is like you." Michael then got an idea. "...Tell you what. Once we're done with our mission, I'll see if I can't get Yukari to bring you to Gensokyo. How about that?"
Michael then thought a minute. "Actually, I don't know where Yuka is. I'm not nearly good enough with magic to sense others." Michael's eyes widened as the implication hit him. "...Crap!" Michael then grabbed Ellie's hand and started to drag her along. "Alice! Marisa! Wait for us!" Michael then took off flying, Ellie in tow.
