Could anybody tell me where I could buy a bow and some arrows? I haven't seen any shops for them, but I haven't explored the whole city.

[Video; filtered to Rin]

Hey, can I talk to you for a second? I just remembered something kind of important.

[Action]

[Eventually, Shirou finds an archery shooting range. He can be found there, shooting arrows at the target. With his focus, he's able to hit a bulls-eye every time.

Approach?]

Yes. A rock. I almost died for a rock.

[ Maybe she shouldn't say things like that last line. It doesn't seem to click in her mind that she's spoken it so thoughtlessly. ]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

You almost died in there?

[It sure clicked in Shirou's mind.]

And you can say it off the cuff like that?

[gandere]

Erk! If it was serious, do you think I would say it so casually!? Shirou, I can use magic. It wasn't like a bunch of weird creatures that can do it as well were going to beat me.

Death is always serious, I mean, it's death! Once you die, that's it, you're not coming back. And I don't want to see you die.

[gandere]

What are you trying to say, Shirou?

video;

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

I said what I meant to say. I don't want you to die.

[TRY NOT TO TAKE IT TOO PERSONALLY RIN the boy is too idealistic for his own good...]

[gandere]

Death happens all the time. Maybe that's why we're here.

video;

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

video;

[gandere]

Maybe we died and this is some strange in-between.

video;

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

...No way. I refuse to believe we're already dead.

video;

[gandere]

Why Shirou?

video;

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

If we were really dead, would we have pulses?

[BEST. LOGIC.]

video;

[gandere]

...

[ Huh, guess he's right. She's feeling her own just to make sure. ]

Is that really all that defines a person from being dead? Just a heart that beats? If it just stops suddenly.. then that defines a person as deceased, but there's the miracle of it beating once again. Right?

video;

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Um. Well, I guess there's more to it than that. We're still breathing, and we still get hungry and thirsty. And we can still get hurt.

video;

[gandere]

That's all that defines a living human to you, Shirou? It seems so simple.

video;

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

No! That's not it. Those are just easy indicators.

video;

[gandere]

Right.

[ Her voice is a bit softer than usual now. ]

Hey Shirou. If I would have died there... you wouldn't have known. Maybe you would have thought I left this place, traveled outwards a bit. Isn't it strange how one moment someone could be there and the next they're gone without a word?

video;

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

...Let's not talk about that.

video;

[gandere]

Do you want to stop talking for now?

video;

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Huh? I'm not looking for an end to the conversation. Why?

video;

[gandere]

I thought I upset you somehow. I guess the right thing would be to make up for it. I still have my anemoi if that will help you feel better.

video;

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Huh? No, that's not necessary! I'm not really upset. It's just a subject I think is better left not discussed.

video;

[gandere]

So let's discuss something else.

video;

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Should I come over and demonstrate reinforcement magic?

video;

[gandere]

I wonder if your reinforcement magic can improve these pills. My arm hurts a lot more than it did before.
