Hello, everyone. It's me... Madoka! Sorry that I've been so quiet lately. I wanted to work extra hard so I could buy some decorations for my apartment with Mami-san and Sayaka-chan.

I hope this doesn't come off as strange, but... um. I'm trying to find some hobbies here. I wasn't very good at anything back home and... well, my job made me really busy. [By which she means, becoming the Law of the Cycle and ceasing to exist.

More importantly, Madoka is thinking of Sayaka and Mami. Being a magical girl ultimately wore them both down, mentally and physically, and she wants to distract them from constant witch hunts. ]

What kinds of fun things do you all do here? We've got a new shot at life, s-so... Might as well use it, right? For me, I used to really love gardening with my father... Oh! But also, I'd go over to a friends' place when she got video games. I saw something here called "Virtual Reality MOO?" Is that like the cute farming video game? Does anyone play it? Um... is it fun?

[And would it appeal to both Mami and Sayaka's heroic natures without actually putting them in harms' way??]

You could try reading. I work at a bookstore in Fayren. { Scribes and Scripts is one of the few bookstores in Fayren that doesn't just have books on magic and related topics. }

Beyond that, well... I don't go to Fairy Tail's parties unless Mavis forces me, but they're rarely closed to the public.

[protectshope]

Tea parties? Really? Mami-san loves that sort of thing. I wonder if her and Mavis-san would get along?

[deathsought]

Tea? { He didn't mention tea, but... sure, why not? Mavis likely wouldn't need much convincing. } Many of Fairy Tail's parties have involved alcohol, but I'll suggest it to Mavis.

Mavis is perhaps the kindest person I've ever met. { The way he says that, there would be no ambiguity as to how sincere it is. And coming from someone as jaded as Zeref, that speaks volumes. } There's a reason why she was elected Guardian of Fayren, after all.

[protectshope]

Ehehe... It sounds like she's really important to you. I'm glad.

[Madoka giggles more at the thought of a party involving alcohol.] I've never drunk myself, actually... I promised my mother I'd save her my first drink.

[A promise Madoka knows never happened now. So it can never be kept. Still, Homura kept their promise even after rewinding time.]

But I can drink tea and stuff.

[deathsought]

She is.

{ He has no trouble at all admitting it. Even his own closest followers in Alvarez knew about his past with her, and nearly a year after deciding to give their relationship another try while in this world, he doesn't even try to hide it anymore. After all, this is a world in which that is possible, unlike their own. Why not enjoy it? }

I'm not much of a drinker, either. I'll let Mavis know about your idea.

[protectshope]

Please do! I'd like to spend more time with other magic users... It sounds so nice. Maybe I'm being silly, but I always wanted my magical girl days to be busy with more smiling than crying... I know that was naive, but it's still a fun dream.

[deathsought]

That's... something I think everybody could relate to. { He'd have done anything - anything - to be free of this curse. } Feel free to stop by Fairy Haven whenever you like. It's a large campus on the outskirts of Fayren. You can't miss it.

[protectshope]

I think that I will. I'll try to bring Mami-san and Sayaka-chan with me, too. Mami-san knows a lot about being a magical girl heroine... Even more than me!

[deathsought]

I've met Sayaka, but not Mami. What can you tell me about her?

[protectshope]

Mami-san is our 'senpai.' She was the first magical girl that Sayaka-chan and I ever met, and she taught us everything. Her magic can make muskeets out of thin air and she uses ribbons to really catch the witches off guard... Everything she does is really elegant and amazing.

[A bit of fangirling got out there!

Madoka corrects herself as she takes a second pass at the introduction. This time, from an Ultimate Madoka perspective.] But she's always been really lonely. Being a magical girl means fighting alone over limited resources... So I think Genessia and Fairy Tail could be amazing for her.

[deathsought]

It sounds like you really admire her. { A bit of an understatement. Madoka's next words cause Zeref to frown. Loneliness he could certainly relate to, but limited resources... he wasn't quite sure what that meant, but it was something that was the case everywhere. Even Genessia, to a certain degree. }

I can't speak to Fairy Tail, not being a member myself. { But of course, spending as much time as he has at Fairy Haven, even if it was just for the sake of being with Mavis, has certainly given him a new perspective on the guild as a whole. And now, he can see why Mavis was so proud of it. } But Genessia has been a new start for me, an opportunity to do what I'd only dreamed about in my own world. For that, I am grateful.
