fifth fragment ☀ video

[ It was a bright and sunny day, filled with cheery voices coming from the small school in Hinamizawa. They all gathered around the Game Club Members as they revealed their tasty box lunches. Today was the aftermath of the curry competition! Whoever had the best lunch won and whoever had to lose, well they get a penalty as per usual for the club antics.

For the last few days, Satoko had bonded with Keiichi by terms of cooking. Keiichi was a horrible cook. So horrible he almost burned his house down and his parents were away on business. Rika was proud that they were getting along like brother and sister (since they would usually play pranks on each other at school) and would help around the kitchen as Satoko prepared dishes for him... even his own boxed lunch which was leftovers.

Keiichi was to be the loser (due to the simplicity of his lunch), but with his gift of words gained the upper hand and caused Rika to be exposed for having another classmate's lunch. Rika didn't mind being the loser, but Satoko too admitted to using another one of their classmate's lunches for the competition to not have Rika burden the penalty alone. This in turn causes Keiichi to admit too, even with his words, that he too cheated and then... ]

[ ooc: Rika will be tagging this in the evening. Satoko would be with Keiichi to go grocery shopping while she would stay behind and be free to talk with her fellow duckies.

And so~ Rika is now in Tatarigoroshi-hen (Curse Killing Chapter)!]

[ ....what was that loud crash at the end. ] That sure takes guts to say "curry sucks" to someone who obviously likes curry.

... Looks like all of you are having fun. [ so she's at least managed to get to a new fragment, huh? ]

Yes. I always treasure these times, that is so. It keeps me from getting bored.

[ divine punishment from Curry lover Chie-sensei ]

Mii. Well we were the losers of the game today so it was to be expected. Chie-sensei gets really scary with curry, hehe.

I don't get much of it... but as long as you're having fun.

It's a regular thing here in our school, it's one of the only things that keep me entertained...

[ .. keeps me from getting bored.. geez, did she really have to put it that way? it reminds her too much of that witch, but she has to remind herself that Rika is different from her. ]

I'm sure you wouldn't need things to be this lively though to not get bored.

Heh.... seems like a nice time nice.

[but he's thinking about when she'll die again, really.]

Battler! [ she'll give a small smile. ] Yes, it was really nice, hehe.

Hehe. You'll be surprised, mii. These club activities... I really cherish them.

They make it worth it, repeating those worlds over and over?

Hello Rika-chan.

How have you been...? We haven't talked in a while.

Yes, they really do. There are a lot of games to choose from so, it mostly never gets old. Hehe.

Mii. It really has, hasn't it?

Thanks for asking. I'm... adjusting here if that's what you mean.

Edited 2012-06-12 08:01 (UTC)

Adjusting? How so?

.. You're.. lucky though. To have such a group of people to play fun games with.. I never had anything like that before, even if I might have wanted to.

Mii. Is that so... How sad. Well I would love playing fun games with you. The more the merrier, nipa~.

Another fragment. Another place to fight. It seems as though my time is getting shorter as I go through each of them, mii.

Really? .. But.. we don't even know each other all that much, right?

We can get to know each other more through fun and games, that is so. Hehe.

Sorry, I'm not entirely used to that sort of thing. [ fun and games, that is. ]

So you'd have to teach me.

Is it-...? How short is it for you now?

About a month at least... mii.

...And how long did it used to be?

I used to be able to go back a few months to even a few years to try and warn people, but... as you can tell it hasn't really worked.

Mii. Well we'll have to play games together then! Maybe Battler can join us too~

That's.... yeah, that's a serous decline in time.

The incidents here only last two days, so having less time isn't good at all.

Onii-chan, huh? .. I wonder if he'd have time for games, he's been so different lately.. but maybe he can't say no to a smile like yours, who knows. [ ~~because we all know Battler is a lolicon~~ ]

Quite so... Ah. Two days, that is troublesome.

[ ~~oh yes, as much as keiichi~~ ]

...Ah...

Well, I hope you're right. Maybe I should put cat ears and a tail to convince him, nya~

Be careful with that sort of thing. Before you know it he might try something weird on you.

[ not.. really bad weird, but just in case.. ]

Yes but.... I'm the one creating that tale this time around.

Oh? Well that seems more interesting. Creating your own outcomes and a way out...

A way out....? No no.... it's not that simple.

I can create the game board. I can create a world like... that Hinamizawa of yours. I have no real way out though.

Mii. Something weird you say? Well I'll try my best to be careful then, hehe.

Ah is that so.. mii. No way out sounds so sad.

Well... aren't we both stuck in that same maze? Just fighting to try and get out?

Yes... We are.

[ so. The discarded piece finally tumbles out of the pile.

It might be considered fortunate that Bernkastel already knew that the girl called Rika Furude had access to the community, but... aah, who could even call that "good luck"? It made her sick just hearing about it, and now, seeing all of that play out in front of her...

Something like hatred twists Bernkastel's expression as she watches the video, not realizing the community is recording her. ]

[ and here's Rika ruining your moment! ]

Mii? Hello there!

[ at the sound of Rika's greeting, Bernkastel's eyes widen a fraction — and then her glare finds its focus, on the face that looked so much like her own.

She has to force herself not to look away, not to admit defeat with something as miniscule as that. It's difficult... and those words, chirped out with such innocent curiosity, only grate on her nerves even more. ]

... Are you seriously going to keep up that act around me?

[ terse and unplanned, the words form and escape almost of their own will, borne along by Bernkastel's anger. Yet, the witch makes no effort to take them back. Yes, that fragment... it wasn't the first one. By this point, Furude Rika was no longer a carefree child. To not take off that mask, to pretend ignorance, wasn't something that she could tolerate. ]

[ Rika takes a closer look to see who it was that replied to her. A small flinch. Having to see that glare on a familiar face. She knew there would be others like her, but she didn't imagine meeting herself so soon.

She'll change that tone of voice of hers with a smile. ]

...I suppose not. You are me after all... I can't fool myself.

That's very wise of you.

[ it's not a compliment. Neither is "cautious" or "prudent" or something similar — just by existing at this moment, Rika Furude doesn't deserve any of those words. ]

So, what should I refer to you as? Or would you rather have me calling you, 'Other me'? [ hey it worked in yugioh. ]

[ bern doesn't know what the heart of the cards is :(

she narrows her eyes at that. "Other me"... hah. Like she would keep that association, especially now. ]

... It's Bernkastel. And, don't be such an idiot. I'm not you.

Bernkastel...? Like my father's favorite wine? [ she'll stare at the hidden place she hides them in and back to the witch. ] How interesting.

--An idiot? That's rather rude to call someone you just met, isn't it? Wait a second... you must be the witch that Battler mistook me as.

[ "Just met." Bernkastel's mouth twitches, but it's so lame that she can't even laugh at it. If only. If only.

She's more annoyed by the possibility of Battler talking to Rika. Just what has this discarded piece been saying to him...? ]

I'm not surprised. He's quite incompetent as well.

[ At least he hasn't talked about magical bern-chan, nope. ]

Why do you say so?

[ she scoffs. ]

You haven't noticed?
