Evil AU! Hina

[doyoufeellucky]

Now now, you're not afraid of me, are you?

Please do send some of your other muses my way. I'd love to have them over. Of course, you could also look for somewhere to place me, but then I'd have to make more dolls.

Don't you know it's bad luck to keep a lady waiting?

[ATTRACTED BY THE DOLLS COMMENT]

Isn't it always bad luck with you anyway?

[doyoufeellucky]

[Alice totally wants to incorporate the souls of poor innocent villagers into her dolls too, right?]

Of course, but there is misfortune that isn't attached to me as well.

[rainbowconductor]

[NAH SHE JUST FILLS 'EM WITH GUNPOWDER sane magicians unite]

Well, yeah. Otherwise there would be any.

[doyoufeellucky]

Don't you feel your own luck slipping away? Everyone is a vessel for misfortune.

I merely collect and...redistribute it.

[rainbowconductor]

...Isn't that a good thing though? You sound like you're trying to intimidate people. [ALICE PLS]

[doyoufeellucky]

Perhaps, perhaps not.

[Of course, she doesn't specify what she's answering. She just continues wearing that...unnerving smile.]

[rainbowconductor]

[you are talking to a recluse who's primary source of social contact is talking to her dolls.

Which are technically extensions of herself.

SUBTLETY IS LOST ON THIS ONE]

...Well, I guess it isn't so good for you...

How do you manage? All that misfortune around you all the time?

[doyoufeellucky]

I use it, of course.

[rainbowconductor]

O-Oh.

[THAT WAS KIND OF OBVIOUS WASN'T IT]

...On what?

[doyoufeellucky]

[The answer to that question should be pretty obvious too!]

Mostly humans. Or anything else, really.

[There's a reason that forest is so dark and foreboding.]

[rainbowconductor]

Can a non-sentient object even posses bad luck? Does bad luck require an observer to be judged as 'bad' or 'negative' or is there an external authoritarian meter? Ah, can 'bad luck' even be said to linger? One would expect to be 'used up', or it isn't particularly bad, is it? Can negative energy be considered energetic when it isn't doing anything? Ah, how does karma interact with all this?

[...PHILOSOPHERS]

[doyoufeellucky]

Have you never heard of talismans that bring bad luck? It's simple enough to store it in an inanimate object.

Moreso than the living, anyway. Speaking of which, how would you like to discuss this at my home? I can prepare tea, and show you my collection.

[rainbowconductor]

It certainly would be a nicer place to discuss it than this dreary place! What collection would that be?

[fateofyears]

Patience is a virtue any god should not be without. Blessings of bad luck to your mundane will do little; the more obvious course to recommend is for her to browse avaliable games that do allow such alternate personalities.

[doyoufeellucky]

I am not without patience, dear Enma. It's just unfortunate that he likely cannot keep up with another game.

[doyoufeellucky]

Indeed it would. My dolls, of course. I'm sure you of all people would enjoy them.

[fateofyears]

Ah. In that case, perhaps you will find other things to do in the meantime, or a game with less activity requirements.

[doyoufeellucky]

Oh, I'm sure I can find something to occupy my time. There are many poor unfortunate souls lying around here.

[fateofyears]

There are, indeed, which is what most would consider a pity.

[doyoufeellucky]

Most would, yes.

[fateofyears]

But you would not, as I now see.

[doyoufeellucky]

Why should I? Their misery, their doubt, their misfortune, it feeds me.

[fateofyears]

And, you also feed off of faith. Thus, I caution you not to be too eager to distribute misfortune indiscriminately.

[doyoufeellucky]

Is not fear a form of faith, of belief?

[fateofyears]

I would never say it is not, but using the negative facets of faith of accumulate it do come with much more weight.

[doyoufeellucky]

They always have feared me. They always will fear me.

[fateofyears]

I see this version of you comes with extra confidence on the matter.

[doyoufeellucky]

There's no reason for me to be otherwise.
