I | Reaching Out

[allforthem]

[Action]

You know, you'd think that getting out of bed was hard, but you should try getting out of a pod and waking up in a strange cavern. The blunette stretched herself out, her Magical Girl clothes turning back to her regular school uniform. Sure, she was confused at first, but she came to the realization that maybe this was apart of a witch's lair? Luckily her suspicion was wrong when she listened to the hologram.

This..was definitely a joke!

So she made a voice message.

[Video]

Hey, is anyone there? Madoka? ..you there? [there was a spark of worry, realizing Madoka hadn't made her wish yet] Augh, you better be safe, you hear me? Where are you?

[she tried to remember what had happened before all of this. Sayaka tried to reach out to Kyuubey too, he should be around...]

[Action]

[While waiting for a response from anyone, she walked to the city, taking in the sites and strangeness of it all..actually it was pretty cool! But first she spotted a small cafe. Maybe a quick drink will help?]

Sayaka-chan..?

[Madoka initially thought she was dreaming. Her best friend, Sayaka, was someone Madoka was used to always having by her side. Even as Ultimate Madoka, Sayaka stuck with her. Nagisa too.

So her answer is hesitant. Mami is from the past, before her wish... There's a chance Sayaka is too. How will her bestie feel about Madoka being a magical girl? Especially after their last conversation in Madoka's final timeline... Before Sayaka died...]

I-I'm here. Mami-san is too... and you are...?

[allforthem]

Madoka! Phew..

Thank God you're here! And..safe? I'm just strolling in Genessia? I'm planning on getting some coffee, are you around?

[especially to talk about what is going on, with the kidnappings and where Kyoko was. She would even welcome Homura.

.
.

[Hah! No, not at all!]

[protectshope]

Y, Yes! Yes, I'm here... a-and safe...

[Just strolling around? Sayaka is being pretty calm about this... She was pretty calm after her contract too, but that turned out to be something of a facade.

This time, Madoka vows not to let Sayaka go through things alone.]

Let's get coffee together, then! I have a lot to talk to you about... Is that okay?

[allforthem]

[wants to ask what about but nods slowly, wary]

Sure! Heh..it kind of feels like I just saw you.

[the last time was when she yelled at her, and then..waking up here? things seemed to happen in between. It was kind of foggy]

..Ah. Where to, then?

[protectshope]

Well... there's a coffee shop. Here.

[Madoka sends the location to Sayaka's device.]

There should be directions? It's called Moonbucks.

[video --> action]

[allforthem]

[She looked at the directions and shop, and nodded]

There it is..I'll see you there, Madoka~

[Sayaka was a little concerned now, but she headed to the coffee shop, excited still! The teen arrived and looked around the store-looked pretty standard..]

[Next was looking above the strange characters for her pink-haired friend, murmuring] Madoka...Madokaaaa...

action party

[protectshope]

[The sight of Sayaka eases Madoka's nerves. She still isn't sure what to say to Sayaka, or how much to say, but it's Sayaka.

Her eyes are watering already.]

Sa... Sayaka-chan! It's really you!

[Video]

[heribbon]

[She wasn't going cry this time she swears.]

It looks like both my precious kohai are here. Are you still at the Bay? The place where you woke up? I'll head out to you.

Re: [Video]

[allforthem]

M-Mami..no...

[that made her pause midway in the streets]

But you-you..you-!! [she gulped, tearing up, but not letting them fall, the memory of her body falling-]

It's been so long...M-Mami..[places a hand on her mouth, not believing this]

Re: [Video]

[heribbon]

I know. I woke up here right after it happened. [her hand reached up to her neck.]

But I can live a new life here. [She sounded like she was barely holding back tears.] I'm still alive somehow.

Tell me, did you make a wish too?

Re: [Video]

[allforthem]

[something told her that maybe this was the underworld? She knew something bad happened to her before coming here, something that made her heart hurt so much..]

You bet you can! You can live your life here with me and Madoka..! And others if they..

[bite your tongue you. are. not. CRYING. okay time to bite your lip]

I did. Ah-ha.. [she wiped a single tear out] I'm very strong now! I can defend myself just like you!

Re: [Video]

[heribbon]

I'm so glad.

Just like me, huh? It's so good that both you both have become magical girls too.

[Now if only they wouldn't leave her like Kyoko.]

We should meet up. Meet up and catch up.

Re: [Video]

[allforthem]

Of course like you!

Let's meet up and--[grins but pauses]

Ah-wait, no. Madoka hasn't become a magical girl. She kind of should, though. It's dangerous out there.

Video

[unbridledtiger]

She's here.

I bet she'll contact you if she hasn't already.

[She doesn't want this poor girl to worry though he finds it interesting that she knows Madoka. He knows that people from the same world short up from time to time but it seems more frequently lately.]

Re: Video

[allforthem]

She has..and she's safe too! Do you know her?

[laughs out] And who are you supposed to be?

Video

[unbridledtiger]

Yeah, we met. She's a good kid.

[Seth has an affinity for wanting to protect kids.]

I'm Seth.

Re: Video

[allforthem]

[you bet she is, she is the sweetest and purest cinnamon roll in the world and--]

Yeaaaah~ I know. We grew up together in our world. I think I know good when I see her.

Seth! My name's Sayaka Miki. Have you been in this world for long?

Video

[unbridledtiger]

[That's cute. He's glad that madoka has a friend here.]

A while. I don't really keep track of time but I think it's been close to half a year.

[Which he doesn't always enjoy.]

I work in the Everglade Guardian office.

Re: Video

[allforthem]

The Everglade Guardian Office..sounds like you're something like a police chief..?

[ video ]

[deathsought]

Madoka Kaname? She's here, yes.

{ He's spoken with her, and from what she's told him about her magic, he found it fascinating. }

She'll be relieved that another from her world has arrived here, though I shouldn't be surprised. I've found that, statistically, when one person from one world shows up, others are from that world are not far behind.

Re: [ video ]

[allforthem]

[raises a brow, nice cape]

[says the one with a cape]

Really.. ah, maybe Kyoko will be here. [sighs] No doubt Kyuubey or Homura will be here. What a drag.

Heeeeyyy you know a lot, don't you? Who's the wise guy who 'kidnapped' us?

[ video ]

[deathsought]

I'm afraid none of those names sound familiar to me.

{ Kyuubey sort of does, but... it's vague, and he doesn't really remember it. }

No more than anyone else, really. Who brought us here is a matter for debate. Some believe it was the Spirits, and others still believe it wasn't a who, but a what. There are several theories, but none have been definitively proven. What is clear is that the responsible party has not made themselves known, and doesn't seem to have any desire to do so.

Re: [ video ]

[allforthem]

[she stared at him, then looked to the side]

Weird. Well! At least we're not in immediate danger, plenty of time to unravel the culprit. [mutters] I hate being a rat in a cage..what a drag.

[ video ]

[deathsought]

Don't take the relative safety of this world for granted. { The way he says it, it's as if he were offering advice about potentially bad weather and not a risk to their physical safety. } Occasionally, the barriers will fail, and this world, much like my own, has no shortage of humanity at its most loathsome. Just look at the newspapers, particularly the bounty sections. And that's not even considering that whoever, or whatever, doesn't seem to do its homework before choosing somebody to bring to this world.

That said, all things considered, this particular cage is quite nice. I certainly prefer it to my previous one.

Re: [ video ]

[allforthem]

Well you're certainly positive... [chuckles at her sarcastic remark]

You must have come from a really rough world before this. What was it like?
