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.]

... 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.

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...

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...?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Depends on who you ask. But she has caused a miniature quake here once.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

Uhm... Maybe if we talk to her, she won't do it again.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Ha... ha... hahahaha... [Sorry for the slightly depressing sound of laughter.]

I think she would claim to be above that. That she has enough holiness in her that she doesn't need to concern herself with what we think.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

But... that's not right at all. She... doesn't know that?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can try and talk to her. She has long blue hair and has a black hat with peaches on it.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

Do you think she'll listen...?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure she would listen.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

Then... I'll give it a try.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Just don't actually fight her.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

... [ A nod ] I want to avoid fighting at all costs.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

You're one of those pacifist people, aren't you.

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

... A... Ah? I just think that... there are other ways to solve something.

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... Invite her over for tea?

[fatedmagia.livejournal.com]

Maybe she'd like some of the cakes I made, too...
