Renko and Maribel are different. Different from Gensokyo residents that we see more often than not - and I am fine with that.
In this article, I am not going to write in-detail about who they are or whatever makes Maribel and Yukari related. Instead, I offer you all beautiful people who spare the time required to read this piece thoroughly, a chance to understand just how Renko and Maribel, strangers to Gensokyo, fit the whole circle of what makes Touhou, Touhou.

What Do They Represent?

Us.
Renko majors in physic and she adopts a rational thinking with objective approach to matters. Maribel majors in psychology and she believes in subjectivity more than objectivity. Whatever we are, we know that we can relate to at least one of them.
Both have interest in supernatural things, albeit for presumably different reasons considering their contrast approach on things. They have club that specializes in seeking sources that emit supernatural aura and out-of-this-world phenomenons. Of course, interests don't always need to be complemented by society and age. In their modern world, with how they talked about tour to the moon like it was a trip to your neighbor's backyard, it is still possible to believe in something so absurd.
Sometimes, we suggest ourselves that ghosts don't exist - reality is here and it not going to be anywhere else. Supernatural phenomenons are hoaxes. People seek popularity with their questionable sighting of creatures like Loch Ness Monster, Yeti, Bigfoot, or so on. Common senses kick in, and we are their customers, ready to order some drinks.
However, I am not sure about you, but I personally find such things interesting. There are things we cannot understand by just looking and knowing. There are things we don't know yet about the world we live in. Mysteries are bound to remain mysterious until the time they are caught. With that being said, Renko and Maribel are ready to deliver. For what purpose exactly? Perhaps for personal satisfaction? Who gives a penny.

Just like how we usually operate, they do it because they can and want to.

Blargh, I think I have made my point clear. Please don't hesitate to give me money in case you have something to say in regard to the article.

That obviously makes things better by tenfold.



We are all M inside.
I am trying to sound deep here.

Who do you think is better, Futo or Miko?

For a silver lining, I don't mind getting knifed, if you catch my drift.



Stupendous, my dear comrade. I shall be playing this while working.

Providing updates faithfully. Fuwaruu and Haruu, you both are awesome. It's a shame that I cannot seem to gather my will to play trial games. Hopeless Masquerade trial was downright depressing for me, and the end product didn't offer much aside from having a good story and adding Kokoro to Gensokyo.

I assume Urban Legend in Limbo wouldn't fare much better from substance standpoint. Besides, any games that cannot prevent me from getting slaughtered by Fuwaruu are bad games by default.



Do you have links for this one, Harumon!

No good. The ones close to me mostly charge much too. Well, figurines are supposed to be expensive. But I'd like those that offer more varieties, as in they have section labeled "Cheap Merchandises for Poor Sad Turds" that I can browse.

According to my sources, Roommate has been shouting at some women on the street, hoping to disarm their clothing. It's only about time till he gets everyone to try to kill him for killing an innocent chicken.

Speaking of chicken, is the rumor about new Gintama animoe coming in April valid?

You know that I am breeding fungus there.
Multi... Multi... Multi... Do they have branches in West Java? I feel like this is not the first time of me hearing the name. Gotcha, will keep them places in mind. Thank you. Any place that doesn't automatically label me as a OP/Naruto/Bleach fan would be good enough in my book.



Please stop applying your favorite Lusty Argonian Maid in real life.



Doesn't matter. I still can infiltrate your room, steal your undies, and be a Kamen Rider with it.
Not really, I don't. I lived there only for a good 2 1/2 years during elementary school.

Bump now because Fuwaruu's net sucks.

Preparing responses.....

slow.....

You live in Europe. You should enlighten me so.



I plan to visit your home, raid your wardrobe, and eat your dinner.
So far, I only have plan that I might go to the Capital. But it's rather unlikely considering I don't like the place's atmosphere.

"Maid" is a grand representation of purity. You don't put them in the same sentence with "sex", scum!

Your shout is still far from downing a female dragon.
I will take Byakuren. You can take Nana as your slave.

Born traveler, you must be aspiring to be a Dragonborn.
Also, it's somehow funny to converse with you and Nana again after a long time. Would be nice if we could also summon the remnants from the past.

As such, FOG's apartment always stinks of old men/women. Not that I am complaining.



Do you have a favorite and trustworthy hobby shop? I'd like to know places to visit, aside from your restaurant, in case I go there.



Pervert like you should go DL it.
Rance 1 is. Rance 01 is basically a remake of Rance 1, but with a lot of additional details and changes in status quo.

To be killed by Yeacchan. Not many people can measure just how honored you are.



They are just clones. I plan to conquer the world with lewd clones that can self-destruct.
Oh, have you been moving to all countries in the world? If I recall correctly, your home is Czech.

Please don't make me blush, Nana. If I blush, someone dies; it could be you or it could be you.



I treat my girls with love befitting my gentleman nature.
Oh yeah, last time we talked, you were in Japan, riding Muv Luv robot, and spoke in Russian. What are you doing right now?

What a pervert you are.
It's a thing of beauty. Didn't really pay much attention to the story since even if it used 6 episodes, it wouldn't be enough to deliver a Rance story. But so far, the character designs are as accurate as I could possibly ask for. The better thing is, I had a glimpse of 2 of my top 3 characters, Shizuka and Kanami. No comments for Rance's voice since I don't understand japs.

Overall, a solid production. Would love to see more. What say you?
... although I still have a mixed feeling in regard to Rance 01 and where it stands in the epic of Rance universe.



No no, I mean in Jakarta. There are many hobby shops here, but too many SAO merchandises, so few things I like.



Please, Roommate. We both know that we used to express our affection to each other by violence or verbal assault.

It's very good to see you again, alive and kicking. And hopefully still as frosty as ever.

Who are you, Roommate.



Pssh, I am not you, Pattsuan.
Oh yeah, do figurines cost cheaper there than in here? I'd like to know if relatively cheap Mami figurines do exist there. (since none here)

There there, Pattsuan. It's at least better than having birthday in Valentine.
Speaking of which, my Mami will always be pure.

If it doesn't net me victories against you, then it's still as good as flawed.
Well, overall it's a wrench thrown to my excitement. Even if it wasn't a danmaku, I would prefer it to be something else other than fighting games since it's not like we don't have enough already. Or even better, Renko and Maribel game.

With that being said, I hope Satori will never be a central point of any canon game.


And yes Haru. As Fuwaruu said, my net is still within caveman-tier. His net sucks and my net sucks.

You make me sad, Kyuubon. How come Azelle knows my intention better than you do. It's just as wisemen before us once said; in order to protect it, you need to have control over it. With me on the top of list, we are bound to have golden ages coming.



Just a little nitpick, I was only a contributor at some points then. It's okay to quote the wiki as long as you at least read what you're quoting, which you did, it seems.

Ah, my ex-ISP. Must be difficult on you. * pets

I heard that MNC is going to spread their coverage areas even more. Are you interested to see if your place is among them? Surely, you cannot argue with 7 mbps. For "healthy internet" program, there are always ways around it.

Wear colorful spandex and play eroge with me. Together, we can take over the world.



Ah, that sounds pretty much like what I would find if I google searched Muenzuka. Pomf=3




What glorious ISP are you using right now? And if you live in the Capital, any motivation to get Fastmedia?
