The fairy crew joins the omniverse

[Clownpiece]

I’ll be watching … and waiting.”

Omni spoke those last, parting words, closing his mouth into a cheeky grin, and his pure white form dissolved into the black background behind. Clownpiece watched soundlessly as he faded away, unable to move so much as a muscle in this black abyss. Slowly, sensations began to crawl back into her body, feelings of actual air and gravity, and at once the black veil pulled away from her eyes, revealing nothing but stark white.

“Uh... what?” The hell fairy said after a moment, making no effort to move from the spot she’d been laying. Until just a few moments ago, she’d been minding her own business, taking a nice midday nap on the roof of the shrine, and now, apparently because that strange, white thing found her interesting, it abducted her to some strange white void. “Well, what the hell is interesting about a nap?” she mumbled to herself, rubbing her head as she sat up.

“Finally you’re awake!” An enthusiastic voice practically shouted into the fairy’s ear. With an undignified squeak, Clownpiece flinched to the side, frantically swinging her right hand towards the voice. There was no resistance to her wild swing, and she instantly realized she didn’t have her torch in her hand.

“Jeeze, took you long enough,” the voice said again, and Clownpiece turned to face her.

“Wait a second...” she held up a finger, needing a moment to get adjusted to the world, and stared intensely at the owner of that all too haughty voice. Clad in blue, the ice fairy stood tall, hands on her hips and chest puffed out, and of course, she still radiated her uncomfortably cold aura. "Hi, Cirno."

“Hi!" she greeted back. "I was beginning to think that I'd have to wake you up myself."

Clownpiece simply hummed an agreement, internally shuddering at what a frigid wake-up that would have been as she pushed herself up off the ground and dusted off her back. She slowly turned, casting her gaze all around the two of them. There was only a blank white as far as the eye could see, save for a fountain right next to them, and her torch, glowing with its purple light, right where she’d been laying. Quickly, she leaned over to grab it, and straightened back up, brushing her hair out of her face.

This was definitely an odd space. Never before had she seen something as blank as this, neither in hell, nor in her brief life on earth. It wasn’t like she had much time to explore Gensokyo, however, so she wondered if it could actually be something from there. She turned to regard Cirno again. “I've never seen anything like this in hell. You know what this is?"
