Starter for @hargrove
Two or so weeks of playing the long game was enough for Katherine. She was ready for some answers, and as much as she genuinely liked Billy's company, she's on a mission.
Which was why she had lured her little interrogation target to her motel room, honestly it wasn't hard- Billy is a man who knows what he wants and recently that's been focused on Katherine.
Who can blame him honestly, she's addictive, a fact she absolutely uses to her advantage and often.
With a small push, she sent Billy backwards onto her bed and climbed over him with that hungry look in her eyes. Their lips reunited and her fingers slipped into his hair, suddenly and sharply pulling his head back. She trailed kisses down his neck and then stopped.
"Let's play a little game." She purred against his skin. " I ask you a question, and you answer it.... and if you're good... I'll even reward you."
She lifted her head from his neck so she could look him in the eyes.
"It's like truth or dare... you tell me the truth... and I dare you to lie to me."

Theres a christmas market. Of course there is. Why wouldnt there be? People go ape shit just to buy a small wooden christmas tree to set on the window sill next to the real christmas tree and the ceramic one with little built in lights.
Katherine let her head roll aggressively, very much so conveying her disappointment with humanity.
"Honestly I could list about four billion places I would rather be, than at that market. Unfortunately, every single one of those other four billion places will also be playing that god awful music and pushing novelty sales. So. Buy me something alcoholic to numb my disdain and I'll go with you." Shes bored anyway, at least this gives her something to bitch about and throw shade at.

What do you like more: Touhou music with old era instruments (LM4 Mark, Super Quartet, etc) or the new ones (Groove Agent, The Grand 3 and so on)?
That's a pretty complicated question, but in general, i'd say that my favourite "era" of ZUN's music was between 1998-2011, i started enjoying Touhou music a little less starting with Ten Desires (the style difference felt very big to me compared to UFO), but in general, i'd say i like the MoF-GFW era the most in terms of instruments
I think my main issue with modern ZUN instruments is that i feel like a lot of the instruments don't compliment each other well, as in, they don't "blend" together as nicely as the instruments from before TD, i feel like this is because the modern VST's have a bigger variation of different kind of sounds and textures, instead of the pre-2011 days when around 80% of the instruments came from the SD-90
Nowadays, around 60% of the instruments comes from VST's, but all these VST's have different "types" of sounds, and i think the way ZUN blends this greater variety of instrument sources (including his EQ'ing and mixing/mastering style) isn't always the most pleasing for me personally, especially things like the post-2011 guitars often feel very loud and jarring, they often feel out of place to me, and i feel this way about multiple other instruments too (for example a lot of the Groove Agent 4 drumkits ZUN uses nowadays, especially Elementic is a choice i feel rather mixed about)
It's not like the new VST instruments are bad, it's just that i feel like they are a bit more difficult to mix together with the SD-90 insturments in a way that sounds consistent and satisfying for me personally, but it's totally okay if people like the new instruments too of course
