[Ugh, she lost. Never mind it was a worthy loss, because it was a loss and she's never lost before. Celes is also perfectly fine, because once she woke up, she healed like a madwoman

[and then he was totally walking by, pretending he didn't notice a thiiiiiiing]

[lady_general]

[She can see you coming out of the corner of her eye, Shiki. Celes's glance could probably freeze lava. Or the sun.]

[artwithknives]

Uuu, why do I feel like I'm going to die?

[lady_general]

[Don't throw the book. Don't do it. It's an action unbecoming of a former general of the Imperial army. Oh, but she wants to. Get him right in the side of the head, how's that for revenge?

But she can wait. She can. If things go as planned, someday she might get all her magic back. And he will be a blue-crowned imp. A slow, slow, imp.] Are you prone to talking to yourself?

[Not throwing the book, she picks up her cup of tea and sips it once.]

[artwithknives]

[Yes the entire 30+ hours of Tsukihime is Shiki monologuing and nothing else]

No...

[lady_general]

[This is the face that does not believe you, Shiki] I see. [Sip.]

[artwithknives]

Good. It's tough trying to explain things.

[lady_general]

[Celes sighs. How did she lose to this person again?]

You fought well, anyway. Once you started taking things seriously. [And though she sounds mildly disapproving, it is a backhand compliment.]

[artwithknives]

S-Sorry. I really didn't mean to hurt anyone.

[lady_general]

I truly hope you don't think you can get through a tournament without hurting anyone. That's childish and unrealistic.

[artwithknives]

A man can hope.

[lady_general]

Hope rarely gets the job done.

[artwithknives]

You'd be surprised.

[lady_general]

If something as intangible as 'hope' got anything done, yes, I would be.

[artwithknives]

So it's a challenge?

[lady_general]

Pardon? Are you intending to prove me wrong on this? I'm not sure how you'd manage that.
