[In the orchard, a young woman sits curled up beneath a star apple tree, holding one of the deep purple fruits in her hands. She's split it open, revealing the star shaped core. She murmurs to herself.] Mm... It can't be that simple, can it? Wishing on stars... [It hasn't exactly been working out well for others, from her observations, but... She can't deny that she's curious.]

Let's see... I wish to go home.

[A star-shaped silver capsule hits the earth in front of her, and with a faint frown, she opens it to reveal a map. She pauses for a moment, her fingertips softly skimming across the edges of it, before setting it gently down beside her. She casts her eyes back to the sky and frowns. Her eyes then catch sight of a wild turkey roaming the orchard in the distance.

Fine, then. She may as well get something useful here.] I wish for a rifle.

[The next capsule contains a book. She frowns, not understanding the connection, but then it opens all on its own and begins flipping its own pages. Rifling. She would groan at how tacky the misinterpretation is if she weren't so annoyed. She shuts the book and stuffs it back in its capsule, repeating the wish. Perhaps she needs to be more specific.]

I wish for a sniper rifle.

[The next capsule is much larger. She smiles, reaching out to open it- she's hoping for something familiar, like a Dragunov SVD- and pulls out this. All... right, then. The Hello Kitty design is... unusual, but a rifle is a rifle. She brings it up to her shoulder, seeming very familiar with how to hold the weapon properly, and looks through the scope until she's locked onto the wild turkey. She waits until her shot is clear and steady, and then fires.

Except there's no bullet leaving the chamber. Instead, the gun shoots a shower of glitter and rhinestones which poof into the air in an enormous cloud. Vietnam winds up covered in rainbow sparkles. She tosses the gun aside, giving a sharp exclamation and a curse word or two in her own language as she tries to shake glitter out of her hair and clothes.]

T-trời ơi-!

[Oh, just what she needs, someone to have seen this happen.]

A-ah- [She thinks about possibly going to hide in the tree, but she's already been seen, so...] Did it hit you? I apologize.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

No it didn't. Not that it would have done anything.

I suppose even weapons made from these wishes are useless.

[lotuslife.livejournal.com]

[She clicks her tongue, nodding.] It isn't as if I would use it for anything but taking down a few of those. [She points at the turkey, which is staring to wander away.]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

You never know.

I still expect something unpleasant may happen.

[She was torn between laughing at the gun, mentioning how it could get into someones eye, or just comment on how it looks.

Let's go with 3.]

Nice gun.

[lotuslife.livejournal.com]

Do you think so? You can have it. I want it out of my sight. [she's scowling a little at the weapon.]

[mir-aculous.livejournal.com]

I'm not that big of a weapon fan, personally.

[lotuslife.livejournal.com]

Well, with this one shooting sparkles, I don't think it will harm anyone unless they're allergic to glitter...

[misfortunewheel.livejournal.com]

-A voice from above.-

It is better to not make such violence. There is enough misfortune here already.

[lotuslife.livejournal.com]

I have no intentions to harm anyone here...

[misfortunewheel.livejournal.com]

Then why... why would you wish for that device that brings so much sorrow?

[lotuslife.livejournal.com]

[She motions to the turkeys and the quails.] Those are game birds. They roam this orchard, which provides food... I wouldn't be surprised if they were meant for the same purpose.

[You may or may not hear Tsumugi giggling behind you, but regardless, you're definitely hearing her quietly play Moonlight Sonata her keyboard]

[lotuslife.livejournal.com]

[continuing to brush glitter out of her hair when she hears the music.] Oh? [she takes a look around.]

[hokagoyuritime.livejournal.com]

[Oh, you turned around. She stops playing and waves, smiling happily]

Hi!

[lotuslife.livejournal.com]

A-ah- I apologize. Did I interrupt your playing...?

Nice try, actually. Try wishing for the parts and taking them to Larry. Or wishing for a pre-gunpowder weapon, or a hunting rifle.

So we have to trick it, don't we?

Re: text

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. So far it's working for me. I've gotten all that I need to rebuild my weapon, except for one very specific and exotic material required as a catalyst.

[lotuslife.livejournal.com]

...I suppose that's been the most impossible to obtain, then.

[sheroic.livejournal.com]

[ RUNS UP TO HER. ]

Save some glitter for me!

[lotuslife.livejournal.com]

[OH IT'S YOU, THAT ANNOYING GIRL...]

Y...You can have it all, if you wish. [she begins mumbling Vietnamese swears to herself, brushing glitter away.]

[sheroic.livejournal.com]

[ She vaguely remembers hearing those swears around some totally rude country before. But why should she care about that? ]

Cool! Gimme!

[lotuslife.livejournal.com]

If you insist. [lifts up the Hello Kitty run

aims at the girl's head

and fires]
