"So, you've recognized your own inferiority, and it has brought you crawling before me."

The young (looking) vampire sat on her chair, positioned in such a way as to tower over you. Her courtroom was intimidating, long and imperial. Servants clung to the sides of the room as if to avoid being within the vampire's point of view. All of her servants except her most loyal one, standing at her side, ready to spring at a moment's notice.

You kept your head lowered as you plead your case. "Indeed. I am not capable of surviving on my own in this land. I throw myself at your feet, willing to serve eternally." When you had dreamed of coming to Gensokyo, you failed to consider that Gensokyo was in Japan, and thus mostly spoke Japanese. For an English speaker, there was one place which would serve as a safe haven...

But only if your tongue was silver and the master of the mansion in a good mood.

"Please, mistress of the night. Make me yours. Your tool to wield, if you desire. Your tool to break, if you desire. Your tool to possess, if you desire." Thankfully, your RPG experience provided you with a verbose vocabulary. Your purple prose seemed to tickle Remilia's chuuni senses something fierce, keeping her in a good mood.

"Very well. Fate has smiled upon you, outsider. I will indeed take you under my wing, the Scarlet Devil Mansion shall be your new home." The moon shone down from the window behind her, leaving her face in shadow. Despite this, a strange glint in her eyes and a toothy grin seemed to shine bright. "However, I'd like to know something. Just what kind of position do you imagine yourself being in here?"

You thought. Was this a trick question? A feeler? Should you be truthful or stretch the truth? You'd have to ponder your choices here...

[#1] Since I'm from the outside world, I know quite a bit of trivia! And my vocabulary and wit are without match, I'll be the perfect courtier!
[] I'm not very good at cleaning at all, but I'll do my best!
[] I'm actually an expert at everything a maid needs to be an expert in! One of the best!
[] Do you need a chef? Because I know so many Western recipes, you'll adore them all!
[] The Scarlet Devil Mansion will want to expand its influence, won't it? I can be quite the spymaster for you!
[] (I could present myself as a courtier, but maybe I should be more romantic about it, charm Remilia...)
[] I've pumped some iron back in my day, make me a bodyguard and no one will dream of challenging this mansion.

[X] Since I'm from the outside world, I know quite a bit of trivia! And my vocabulary and wit are without match, I'll be the perfect courtier!

"Well, Your Excellency, as you know I'm from the outside world,"

"Of course."

"And being so, I've kept quite up to date with all of the news and happenings which have taken place out there."

Remilia gave a puzzled look. "If I was so interested in the news of the outside world, I could easily send for it. Besides, news is a commodity with an expiration date." As she said this, her fingers rapped against the arm of her chair, sparks of magic faintly appearing for a blink of a second with each tap.

"Indeed it is!" You smiled, ignoring the blonde drills that began to border the sides of your vision. You were so thankful you spent so much time watching YouTube video essays and documentaries. Now, they would finally pay off. "However, I've managed to filter through the news, the happenings, and separate the mundane from the fantastic! I've studied a broad variety of subjects, and I know about the most exciting tales!" As your lips did their best to sell your idea to the vampire, they plumped up just slightly, complimenting your now graceful face, pale and without flaw. "Tell me Lady Remilia, are you aware of the men who traveled in a small metallic cube to the bottom of the ocean, only to be met with their own hubris? I know not just of them, but the lead-up to their tragedy! History as well! Caesar, how elephants secured his victory, how he wept for his enemy and friend, I know much of his tales!"

Remilia pondered, her eyes looking you up and down. Your hips had grown quite wide since you had entered her view, with plump thighs and a soft rear showing a more fine upbringing than you had before. "This is all well and good, but this all fails to answer my previous question, what position do you imagine yourself being in here?"

You prayed that your knowledge of Crusader Kings 2 would prove helpful here. "A courtier, m'lady."

"A courtier? That's hardly a job at all, you know."

"Is it not? Is it not proper for any court to host a plethora of welcome guests to entertain? A lady deserves to have proper entertainment, ears that will listen, mouths that will talk. It's a classic tradition, a staple of any court." You bowed to the ground, hoping that your bluster was working. Your impressive breasts hung down, unsupported by anything but your ill-fitting outsider world shirt, but not for long. "Rest assured, if you accept me into your court, I shall provide the finest of commentary, the most stimulating of feedback, and the most riveting of stories for you. Far better than any other plebian in this countryside could hope to provide you." With that, your clothes were transformed. No longer did you have slightly dirty clothes belonging to that of a man, but an elegant dress, pink and frilly. Your new heels helped to replace the few inches of height you had lost earlier, with stocking reaching up your smooth legs, reaching up desperate to grasp at the panties hiding your new womanhood. If you were in a more lucid state, perhaps you might've freaked out. But the rush of pitching yourself to this vampire, it was wonderful. A lady as amazing as her got to hear just how amazing you were as well! Worthy of being in her good graces!

"Very well, I've heard enough. From this moment forward, you shall be a courtier of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. This is your fate, sealed in red. Embrace it!"

You rose, smiling bright, and your hand couldn't help but raise itself to your mouth. "Oh ho ho ho ho! I know you'll enjoy your time with me, Lady Remilia!"

You sat out in the garden, sipping tea. The flowers looked beautiful, or you assumed so. It was night, so their colors were a bit muted.

"I just don't understand this though. Why would people keep venturing into those anomalous regions if people keep being spirited away in them?" Remilia was fascinated by your story today. Every day she asked to be entertained by you, you always were able to think back of something of note. It was actually more fun than you thought it would be. Your job was literally just telling Remilia about things you thought were interesting, and she was captivated. And why wouldn't she be? You were an interesting and captivating person.

"That's the hubris of humans, isn't it? They think they rule over nature. They think nothing of a spiritual nature can happen to them. They think nature exists for their desires, to play and have picnics in it." You took a sip of your tea, kicking your legs out some to stretch them. Not too much though, it would be quite unladylike, and you had to keep yourself proper. It would be disrespectful to yourself to act in any other manner. "When they hear of boys who disappear after folding their clothes neatly on a rock, they think nothing of it."

Remilia brought her hand to her head, thinking carefully. "How strange. I can't imagine how these stories don't disturb humans. Have they grown so fearless these days?"

"You say fearless, but I think desensitized is a more proper term." You crossed your legs, thick thighs close together as any lady would have them. Funny, you knew at one point you weren't a lady... but it was rather ghoulish to think about. Some mannish thing between your perfect legs? It was gross to think about. A perfect lady like yourself couldn't have something like that. "Humans these days are arrogant yet mechanical. And most thoroughly uninteresting."

"Not like yourself though. An exception to the rule." With your mistress' smile, you returned it in kind.

"Indeed, and let us be thankful for those exceptions, m'lady!" This was indeed the life. By day you sleep, then begin your time dressing and applying makeup so that you can look as a lady should. After which, you'd brush up on any subjects of note at either Patchy's library or whatever books you could find in the human village. By night, you'd entertain Remilia's fancies until she had other business to attend to. It was a fantastic life. If you played your cards right, you could even imagine Remilia offering you a way to make this position permanent, a kind of permanent only a vampire could offer.

It was tempting, but that was for the future. You were to focus on the now, and now you were already a damn perfect lady.
