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.]

... You think so...? But, anyone could see that it's impressive. Do you make a lot like this...?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Usually my house is filled with them.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

Usually...?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

My house back home is, not quite so much here.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

... I, I see. They might be lonely right now, then...

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... They are not alive. They have far more likely chance of being possessed.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

... When I was younger, I used to worry about my own dolls, but... Maybe it's different when someone makes them themselves.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's how you were raised. I mean, when I was younger, I was a lot more focused on learning magic.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

... You know magic?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Well, how else would I be controlling my dolls?

But, I am what you may consider a witch.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

... A witch...? But, that... that can't be.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... Well, I prefer the term 'magician' but witch is the one everyone is familiar with it seems like.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

... But--

You're... different from a witch.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... Magic using female, possibly humanoid. Black rimmed hat and broom optional.

Why am I even arguing this?

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

If you're a girl who can use magic... I, Isn't it the same as being a magical girl?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... If by that, you mean someone who spends time performing a silly dance to get into costume while having wind flip their skirts up, all the while cheery music plays, then no.

I saw that once on video and was rather insulted.

But you see, I'm not human. Magic and the like is the core of my species.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

But... magical girls-- it's not silly. They're really brave, and put their lives in danger for everyone.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Which is something I don't really do. I don't really care too much about others, and I think most people would expect me to eat them instead.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

... Can I tell you something? But, you can't tell anyone, okay?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Sure. It's not like I haven't found out other things people want hidden before.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

.... You might get a little angry, but... I... I'm also a magical girl. But... the kinds of things we fight. It... might be different from what you might think.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Shall we compare things we have fought?

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

Ah...? B... But--I don't really like fighting unless I need to for the sake of others...

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

An earthquake causing angel, who's main qualities include pissing everyone off so they can come and fight her. Because she's bored.

She's also here.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

... But, she hasn't caused trouble while she's been here, has she...?
