The Priestess and The Omyoji
The Priestess wearing priestess clothes waved at the Onmyoji wearing Onmyoji clothes. Go to a Forever 21 in Downtown Seoul. Onmyoji are ghostbusters from Ancient Japan.
“Did you know that Kendrick Lamar won 4 Oscars with 1 song?” the Priestess asked.
The Onmyoji scoffed and rolled her eyes.
“That’s mid, in my country, we’re Ushering in a new era- the era of Girl’s Bands. After you hear about their glory, Mr. Lamar will need Tupac it up. But that’s no Biggie.”
(someone end me, Usher isn’t a rapper)
“Go on, I’m listening.” The Priestess leaned in closer, their dresses scrunching and overlapping.
“So here’s my 50 cents”
… The Onmyoji went on about the current state of Girls Bands.
“Wow! And girls everywhere are starting bands? People are taking photos at a specific bridge in Hangzhou because of a band? Why did you play Haruhikage? There’s a band with a pink bear? They’re even helping people change their gender?”
The Onmyoji nodded proudly.
“Mr. Lamar won 4 Emmys, but can he help people change their gender?”
A brief silence fills the air, eventually broken by the sound of a bird humming. It was a difficult question to answer, so comment below if Kendrick Lamar has helped you transition.
“No.” The Priestess shifted in her seats and clapped her hands together. “But he does have a concert coming up this Sunday.” Her eyes lit up.
Fuck the Superbowl, its all about the Kendrick concert!
The Onmyoji covered her mouth with her long robes and let out a soft giggle.
“Should we watch it together?”
The priestess grabbed the onmyoji’s hands, causing her to blush.
“Yes!”
“Say, I was wondering, do you remember that book of fairy tales that the Godmother left us?” the Priestess asked.
“Yes, what about it?” The Onmyoji remembered a radiant, golden book left behind by their peer.
“Why don’t we use it on those band girls you told me about?”
“Sure, why not.”
“But, first let’s eat some mint chocolate ice cream.”
“Was that a SayoTsugu reference?”
Welcome to a world where the ordinary lives of band girls connect with folklore, fairy tales, and other stories of things that shouldn’t exist.
