Lady Murasaki? [k] @Prince of Lan Ling Could you tell us more about the genre you mentioned? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Murasaki Shikibu Of course. [k] @Murasaki Shikibu This is a classic type of Japanese horror film...though there have also been numerous Western adaptations as of late. [k] [charaFace C 4] @Murasaki Shikibu Their stories revolve around supernatural events that take place when someone interacts with a cursed object, such as a doll, a video, a mask, and so on. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 9] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Emiya ...Well, seeing how cursed objects really do exist, I guess it makes sense that someone would've made a movie based on them. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Murasaki Shikibu The evil spirits in these movies are far more tenacious than those still bound to Earthly desires, and will haunt those who incur their wrath till the end of time. [k] @Murasaki Shikibu They bear no personal grudges of their own, but home in on anyone who happens to come in contact with their cursed item. [k] [charaFace C 8] @Murasaki Shikibu ...That's the basic outline of the genre,[sr]save for one more important element. [k] [charaFace C 5] @Murasaki Shikibu An evil spirit like this is even more difficult to defeat than a slasher from a Hollywood horror movie. [k] @Murasaki Shikibu Even if the protagonist takes the necessary steps to appease the spirit, the rules of the curse can't possibly be changed. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Illya Th-then...does that mean we're all gonna die!? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 9] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Emiya Maybe if we really were following movie rules.[wt 0.5][charaFace E 1][sr]But this isn't a movie, and Servants are basically made to break rules. Isn't that right? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 11] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Murasaki Shikibu Yes, breaking the rules might work...but I'm[sr]afraid I don't know how we could do that. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Illya Oh man, oh man...[sr]Is there anything ghosts are weak against? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Emiya In Japan, most measures against spirits involve reciting sutras, sacred fire, shrines, and temples. Would those work? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Murasaki Shikibu Nnn. I'm not sure. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Murasaki Shikibu Actual dead spirits are one thing, but spirits from movies tend to be invulnerable to things of that nature. [k] @Murasaki Shikibu Even if they seem to work at first,[sr]they usually end up having no effect. [k] [charaFace C 8] @Murasaki Shikibu Eventually, the characters usually realize that not even the most virtuous priest stands a chance against the spirit. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 8] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Prince of Lan Ling ...I see. [k] @Prince of Lan Ling The dead spirits that appear in movies have to come across to the audience as incredibly powerful forces... [k] [charaFace D 9] @Prince of Lan Ling ...which is why there are so many scenarios where the characters can't win, regardless of how strong or weak they may be. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 4] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Emiya Kind of funny that a movie ghost would be even more trouble than the real thing...
