queenofheartsrp | ♘ duel the third. ( action, video. )

[There's no video, initially--only the sound of a basketball bouncing hollowly, the sound of sneakers scraping against the ground.

The video flickers on. Rose petals--white and red, flutter to the ground, from some unknown source. There's a slightly unnerving moment where girl-shaped shadows flicker along the surface of the mirror before Utena shows up, a triumphant expression on her face.]

Wow, it really worked! [She runs along the court, and the shadows chase after her, along the trees. They stop, one on each tree, facing one another, and seem to be in the midst of a conversation. Utena, however, appears unaware. She shoots a basket, she scores! The Shadow Girls go wild! Complete with shadow pompoms and shadow confetti.

The ball rolls to a stop at her feet, and she frowns and falls into a series of stretches.]

It's no fun without anyone else.

[The shadows appear to be squabbling. Utena scratches the back of her head, and starts to bounce the basketball around again.]

[ooc: Utena's made a basketball court. A...really weird one! Feel free to bug her! Aww yeah. If anyone points out the Shadow Girls to her, she won't notice them. Yeah, I don't get it either. lol weird ass canon.]

[Utena reaches out to grab a rose petal, a red one. Her expression sobers.]

Is that what this is? Changing the world. [She dribbles the ball for a moment.] It seems like it's too easy.

Making something out of arguably nothing, sounds like some heady hoodoo to me. I don't get how it works, but it's no small feat.

[The Shadow Girls begin to play out a duel...with giant codfish instead of swords. A third Shadow Girl has appeared, and watches the two fight, occasionally pumping her fist enthusiastically.

Utena lets the rose petal fall from her fingers.] D'you think it's bad? It seems like the people that run this place want us to, but I wonder why.

[One duelist is "stabbed" in the chest. Cue dramatic death and waterworks from the observer.]

I don't know, this is place is a little wacky, which is all the more reason not to trust anything too easily.

[Utena, oddly enough, doesn't seem to notice the shadows. But they seem aware of her.]

Yeah...[She begins to dribble the basketball again, but she doesn't seem as enthused now.] I hope I didn't cause any trouble by making this.

Don't even worry about that, looks like you could use a few basketball teams though.
