０３　⚜　［ａｃｔｉｏｎ］

[ Sitting outside on a busy street is one Caren with a crudely painted sign propped up by her side:

REPENT SINNERS
FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND
THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH
THE MOON BEFORE WAS JUST A REMINDER SENT FROM THE HEAVENS
DISPOSE OF ALL OF YOUR EARTHLY POSSESSIONS HERE


[ Caren herself is dressed in more revealing clothes than usual (minus the red cloth) and is without emotion on her face. Yes, she seems more focused in ringing the loud bell in her hand for attention. ]

[Trying valiantly to look at her face instead of her legs.]

...Just give it up already.

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Come now, Shirou, we all know you have a fondness for legs. ]

I have already given myself to the Lord.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why do you think he's fighting it?]

I meant this scam. Besides, it's not like anyone ever takes doomsday prophets seriously.

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Don't worry, his not!girlfriend will never find out due to muncest ]

Scam? What scam?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You're trying to trick people into believing that the apocalypse is coming and giving up what they have so that you can claim it. Do I have to spell this out?

[Shirou, you just did.]

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you're mistaken. Watch.

[ Oh look, a believer has wandered over. Caren instructs them to strip off ALL of their possessions including their clothes and without batting an eyelash at the nude man before her, tosses them into a metal trashcan nearby.

Which she proceeds to light on fire after. After a quick exchange with the individual, she sends them well on their way. Settling back down into her spot with the large smoke-spitting can nearby, she glances up at him. ]

Why would I want any of the possessions people are willing to trash?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
...And how do I know you're going to do that with everyone who buys into this? You could have just done that with one instance to try to prove me wrong.

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I suppose you have no choice but to remain with me to monitor this.

[ With that, she'll hold up the bell towards him. ]

If you're going to stay, you'll need to do your part.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you kidding? I don't want any part in helping you with this!

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ But what else can he do to distract himself from looking at those legs? ]

It wouldn't look very good to others if you were just standing around like a solicitor.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...

You're soliciting, too, you know.

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
But I have a purpose behind mine. You're just soliciting to stand next to a beautiful lady.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not why I'd do this! If anything, I'd be making sure you didn't snag anybody else!

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
So you're not doing this to get to know more about me? Do you even know my name..? No, instead you choose to focus on the fact that my actions conflict with your beliefs and you pick on me for my attention.

That's why, isn't it..? You've fallen for the girl who's name you don't know.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Wh...wha...

What kind of insane logic is THAT?! Not only is it totally off-base, it makes no sense!

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It does though. It's like those boys who tug on the hair of their classmates they like.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm not that kind of guy! I...

...Huh?

[Memory get!]

...I...went after bullies?

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, she's surprised at his sudden pause. ]

You went after bullies..? So you're the kind of guy every girl always dreamed of?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? Wait, what do you mean?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
...A...hero? You think getting rid of bullies is heroism?

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, what would you call it?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
But that's not much. That's just cases of one or two people at a time. It was all I could do as a kid, but I think it takes greater acts to really be a hero.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Like...like stopping somebody from robbing a bank and taking everyone inside it hostage. Or...or saving someone who was about to die from a fire.

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you're capable of doing those things.

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Any normal human would want to do those sort of things when they see someone in distress, right?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
...I would hope so. But not everybody is cut out to actually do those things.

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think you're not capable of it then? You seem healthy enough.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I do. And I want to help people. I want to use what I know and what I can do to protect the people who can't protect themselves.

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
... Then why are you wasting your time just watching over me when there are people who need to be saved?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, hold on. You're just trying to get me out of your hair, aren't you?

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would I do that? You're nice to talk to.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You. You think...I'm nice to talk to?

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sitting here listening to you, aren't I?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...That's true...but I never expected you to say that a guy like me is nice to talk to. Even if it should have been obvious.

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't make it a habit to state things that are so obvious. Well, are you going to ask already?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I already know it, from the last broadcast you made, remember? It's Caren, right?

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
But that's different. If you want to be closer to someone, you should ask them yourself. What if I don't want to be addressed by that name from a potential friend?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...I suppose that's fair enough. So how do you want me to address you?

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Caren. We're friends, aren't we?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[That elicits a look of surprise. Shirou wasn't aware that Caren considered him her friend.]

Well...if that's what you want, then yeah.

[Which is why he gives such a lame response.]

[identity profile] sealed-rose.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I swear, you act more like a demon trying to get all they can out of people than a normal human. It is quite refreshing to see.

[identity profile] promoteshell.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You know what sucks? Getting really sick any time a demon shows up around her. Caren shifts her weight to try to ignore the agonizing pain that's within her body. ]

T-Thanks..

[identity profile] allonisaretrue.livejournal.com 2012-01-02 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'll say this much. You're a real piece of work.
