13th doll | Action

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

[If you are out in the Orchards today, you may come across a humanoid doll, about the size of a persons head. You may come across more. Around fifty more. Long blonde hair, all wearing the same style of dress. All picking up food and carrying them away in baskets.

If you were to follow any of them, you will find a bunch of baskets already laying on the ground, next to one Alice Margatroid, who is checking everything with a list. She's just taking stock of things.]

Stuff.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Stuff like what?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Stalking you.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

W-what?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Only joking.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

R-right... I knew that... I guess you'd have been at the dance if you were stalking me...

... so what were you really doing?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

What were you doing? Met Reimu yet?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

I was at the dance... and... yeah, I've met Reimu.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

That must have been a wonderful time for you.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

... not meeting Reimu, no.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Is that a sympathetic "tell me about it", or do you really want me to tell you about it?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Tell me everything that happened.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

W-well...

The first time we met, she almost attacked me with a spell card... but Tenshi interrupted her with a rock.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... Now, her attacking youkai with little provocation is normal, but you're not one.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Well, uh... she happened by when I was at home... you know, the floating island with the keystone stairs.

She thought I was working with Tenshi or something like that.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... Well, aren't you?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

... being her girlfriend and helping her get fights are two different things.

...

A-and I don't help her get fights.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Well, you technically did, right?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

I did?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

You don't actively do it, but situations happen around you that cause them?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

R-really?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

You tell me.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

I... don't think this stuff happens because of me?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

I was just trying to think of something.
