The usual outfit of Sakuya from the world of incredible scoops. Her mysterious cape is pretty arrogant for a tsukumogami.

<Heh, I'm the great Scarlet Devil of old! Oof!> I'm Sakuya Izayoi, and you didn't hear anything.
Introduction
<Hey, kid. Know anything about the Armstrong treasure? It's in this world, right? C'mon, tell me! Obey my commands and bring it to me!> ...Be quiet, you stupid tsukumogami. I was confused by our sudden warp, but I'm sure I never gave you permission to speak. Shall I lock you up in storage again? ...Oh. You saw all that, didn't you? My name is Sakuya Izayoi, and I can't have you telling anyone about this. You're going to stay with me so I can keep an eye on you. Understand?
Purple Heart
<In a way, you're more disturbing than me. Do you even realize that?>
Blue Heart
I usually keep one hand on this old cape... but it still gets in the way.
Green Heart
I found this mysterious cape in the Scarlet Devil Mansion's storage room... but I'd do anything to go back and stop my past self. I sincerely mean that.
Orange Heart
Lady Patchouli gave me a list of everything we need to build Lady Remilia's rocket, but the Armstrong is the one thing I can't seem to find.
Pink Heart
I did a sweep of the Scarlet Devil Mansion's storage room, thinking it might've been right under our noses, and that's when I found this old cape. It acts full of itself, but I'm sure it's just a low-class tsukumogami. That whole "Scarlet Devil of old" thing is a bluff, a terrible joke.
Summer
<Try and keep me out of the Sun, OK? Sure, I'm a cape, but I still hate the summer sunshine. I might get so riled up that I end up possessing you.> This heat is way worse for me!
Login
Whatever else, I cannot let Lady Remilia know about this. The young mistress, Lady Patchouli, Koakuma, and Meiling can't find out about it either... It could only end badly for them.
Enhancement
<I'll become the Armstrong! That'll solve everything!>
Return
This old cape finally calmed down. *sigh* It never listens to me.

<Hey, Sakuya, are you ready to admit that I'm the Scarlet Devil of old? No one likes a stubborn naysayer.>

<Don't try anything stupid, Sakuya. Our battle within your mind is balanced on a knife's edge. If you slip up, I'll take over your body.>

<The name "Scarlet Devil" is handed down from mother to daughter. Didn't you know that?>
Reaction 2
<Why are you sleeping there? That's gonna be my lap in the future. Stop it!>

<Fine. You win... I'll pat your head.>
Task
Since the cape is quiet right now, I can help you with your tasks.
Task Complete
Oh, you completed your tasks perfectly. You could be our accountant.
Mail
There's a letter, but it's not for Lady Remilia.
Errand Finished
Someone's back from an errand. Let's welcome them back before the cape notices.

Character Information
Temperament: Takagumori
Takagumori (a Touhou LW original) refers to an overcast sky. This is an apt temperament for this Sakuya, a maid who relentlessly rushes about Gensokyo in search of treasure.
Sakuya's usual Metal Phase temperament (strong against Earth Phase, but weak to Fire Phase) seems to have been contaminated with a temperament similar to that of a vampire (strong against Moon and Star Essence but weak to Sun Essence).
Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating time (Prolonged)
The ability of Sakuya Izayoi from the world with too many events for Aya to record in her notebook (a Touhou LW original). It doesn't appear to be significantly different from Sakuya's original ability.
The 9.4th prolonged incident is in a category of its own. Multiple events that should have occurred at different times all started occurring at once. It's as if time and space have been purposefully distorted to connect all the events together. It's speculated that none of these events were even classed as incidents before they all became a single prolonged incident together. The events in question seem to be as different and disconnected as the articles in a newspaper, but they have all been gathered together for some inscrutable reason.
The second event of the 9.4th prolonged incident mainly involved Sakuya Izayoi. Remilia wanted to go to the Moon, so Patchouli devised a spell, and Sakuya snuck into people's homes in search of the items it required. According to trustworthy historical records, Sakuya succeeded in gathering some of the items, but the plan ultimately failed. However, it seems things went differently in this world's prolonged incident.
The following is an excerpt from an unverified source:
One of the items Sakuya was hunting was called the Armstrong treasure. Nobody knew what it was, or if someone did, they mustn't have known that Sakuya was looking for it. Sakuya rummaged through every house in Gensokyo to no avail. Thinking the Armstrong treasure might have been right under her nose from the start, she decided to search the Scarlet Devil Mansion... specifically the mansion's storage room where all the things that are no longer used or better not seen by guests are stored. It contains spare cleaning tools and various styles of maid uniforms for when Remilia decides to hire more maids. It also houses old brass machines that have no apparent function. The room is so large that not even Sakuya is aware of everything stored there. As Sakuya lit up the very back of the room with her lantern, she saw an old cape hanging up on the wall, exuding an ominous aura. She looked around a little more but couldn't find anything that seemed like the Armstrong treasure, and just as she was about to give up her search, the cape called out to her. "Hey, don't look away from me."
Remilia wants to go to the Moon this night, so Sakuya is determined to find the Armstrong before the Sun rises even if she has to stop time to do so... which sounds like another incident in and of itself.
The Scarlet Devil of Old?
The mysterious entity that inhabits Sakuya's mind claims to be the previous Scarlet Devil, the Great Scarlet Devil Duchess, and Remilia and Flandre's mother. However, it's unclear if Remilia and Flandre even had a mother, and there is no mention of any Scarlet Devil other than Remilia in any of the historical records. While the way the entity talks may come across as inelegant or overly aggressive, she is undoubtedly a lady of noble upbringing. According to her, she is not a tsukumogami or a vengeful spirit but an astral body that dwelled within her favorite cape. This is possible because, unlike humans, vampires don't need a brain to think or move. However, she plans to regain a physical form by replacing a human's brain to take over its body. Sakuya wasn't able to prevent the entity from entering her mind since it caught her unawares, but she managed to stall the consumption of her brain through her ability to manipulate time. They are currently locked in a stalemate, with Sakuya wishing she could do the impossible and somehow turn back time. It's crazy to think that all this was caused by Sakuya finding an old cape in a storage room, but perhaps there's something more to it...
Attacks
Curse of Blood
The Spread Shot of Sakuya Izayoi from the world with too many events for Aya to record in her notebook (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with turtle blood that functions as liquid fuel. The Japanese idiom "turtle and the Moon" is used to explain that while two things may look similar, they are too different to be compared. However, Patchouli claims that the actual difference between the turtle and the Moon is that one is a fantasy far out of reach, whereas the other is real and easily obtained.
The Armstrong is an unobtainable treasure, which is why it's needed to go to the Moon. Sakuya is determined to find it and won't let the night end until she does... even though the light of dawn would probably help her get rid of the self-professed vampire that plagues her.

Diabolic Gyroscope
The Focus Shot of Sakuya Izayoi from the world with too many events for Aya to record in her notebook (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with spinning tops that function as attitude-control gyroscopes. As long as spinning tops keep spinning, they are stable and can be used to determine the direction of up and down relative to the Earth's gravity. However, once they stop, the magic is gone. This Sakuya is like a spinning top―she must keep searching and cannot afford to let her guard down for a single second.

A Spell Card of Sakuya Izayoi from the world with too many events for Aya to record in her notebook (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with cylinders that function as the body of a rocket. The entity that claims to be the previous Scarlet Devil doesn't seem like a bad sort. She even tells jokes. Perhaps she and Sakuya could've been friends if they met under different circumstances. Remilia might have even added her to her strange collection of pets... Of course, that would never happen now, as this devilish entity seems intent on devouring Sakuya's brain to seize control of her body.

Ancestral Devil Spark
A Spell Card of Sakuya Izayoi from the world with too many events for Aya to record in her notebook (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a mini hakkero that functions as a rocket engine. While it may be tiny, the mini hakkero is still one of the most powerful items in Gensokyo. However, the magical beam that Sakuya fires from it is obviously demonic in origin. This is inviolable proof that the false tsukumogami entity has taken partial control of Sakuya's body. She uses Sakuya's body as a conduit to expel her own magic from the mini hakkero.
On the surface, it may look like Sakuya and the mysterious entity are fighting an even battle, but Sakuya is being worn down bit by bit. She has to find a way to get rid of it before it's too late.

The Last Word of Sakuya Izayoi from the world with too many events for Aya to record in her notebook (a Touhou LW original). She becomes the Armstrong treasure in this attack. But what exactly is the Armstrong? Nobody knows. The entity within Sakuya's mind certainly doesn't, nor does she care. She figures that if no one knows what it is, she can make it whatever she wants it to be. Once she takes over Sakuya's body, she'll declare herself to be the Armstrong to complete the spell to go to the Moon. Then she'll claim the Moon for herself. No longer will she have to live in fear of the sunlight. This may seem heartless, but she's never claimed to be otherwise.
