 [ It only takes waking in her pod for Madoka to realize something is up. She's a singular existence again, with hands that can pull her out of the pod and a body that gets wet... and really cold. The white dress she is wearing doesn't have sleeves and she's got no shoes. Her hair is down and she doesn't have the ribbons that were given to Homura, but she has the necklace and communication device.

She takes a few quiet minutes to absorb her surroundings. The shift from omnipotence to being clueless again is rather refreshing. Despite learning she's been taken from her home, Madoka isn't very panicked. She has no doubt her contract is being honored. After all, it's already completed. ]

Um... Hello, everyone. This is so strange. I'm sorry if I seem a little bit dazed. I never expected something like this might happen to me.

My name is Madoka... Kaname. [She hesitates on her surname, then shakes her head.] I just got here and I'm already going to be a bother... Where can I buy clothes here? I'm a bit cold. [She's wearing a sleeveless white dress, and is clearly not dressed for early spring.]

[action]

[With her body so cold that she can feel it, despite her soul gem, Madoka does head off to find shelter. Madoka will eventually navigate to a coffee shop, but stop herself at the door. She is eyeing the "no shoes, no service" sign with a distressed expression.]

Oh no... What do I do? I can't go in there with no shoes-- [She sneezes and hugs her bare arms.] I miss my uniform... And I can't exactly borrow anyone's shoes, huh..?

A magical girl, hm? No I don't think that sounds silly at all.

[It was probably a good thing that Ragyo had shifted behind Madoka for the last measurements. Otherwise the motherly aura she was working to exude would've shattered.]

There. There's a dressing room right over there. Go get changed into that robe while I get started on working.

[She practically shoos Madoka to the dressing room. Once inside, Ragyo turns away, opening a secret compartment in the wall, beckoning to a glowing bundle of thread.]

You know, I have a few talents as well that would be considered... out of the ordinary. The idea of magical girls doesn't surprise me one bit.

[The piped in piano music seemed to intensify as the bundle of thread unraveled and tendrils snaked toward Ragyo, twisting and weaving into a regal looking dress for Madoka, with a matching pair of heels. She hoped to time it right so Madoka would only catch a glimpse of the process itself as she came out of the dressing room.]

[Madoka, of course, goes to get changed. With nothing but trust for Ragyo right now, at all. She's missed any warning signs and only sees Ragyo for being kind and motherly.

As she changes, Madoka does consider how easily Ragyo accepted the idea of magical girls.]

Really? I guess when I think about it, that would make sense. It would be weird if only my world had magical girls.

[Madoka peeks out shyly. This is her first time being treated this well. Even as 'Ultimate Madoka,' she only sees herself as a plain schoolgirl. She is feeling quite spoiled.] ... Do you have magic too?

[discomilf]

[Once Madoka finishes changing, everything will appear to be normal, though the dress is farther along than any normal person would be able to do in that amount of time.]

Oh no, my world is one purely of science. Magic was quite a shock to me upon my arrival here... I even went so far as to deny its existence until some time later. In fact, I was hoping to talk to you about magic.

[She pulls a thread through that glimmers crimson in the room's light before fading to white as it was pushed back through the fabric.]

I know next to nothing about magic. My daughter - Satsuki - has people who answer to her about magic, but none of my own confidants are here with me. I feel, dare I say it, naked without them. Which brings me to you...

[She looks up from her work with a smile.] Would you mind being my consultant on the subject?
