Meguca 4: Fire A Cat in the Rabbit Hole

01[19:38] <GeMshuku> THE YEAR IS 20XX
01[19:38] <GeMshuku> EVERYBODY PLAYS FOX.
[19:39] <ChefMKT> That ain't Falco
[19:39] <Satori_Komeiji> >WOMBO COMBO
01[19:39] <GeMshuku> ...Theoretically. There's some nutjobs that pick 'Random', but it always lands on Fox somehow.
01[19:40] <GeMshuku> ...Of course, this setting has nothing to do with Melee (except for the whole 'getting good' factor)! This...is the city of Mae. Probably.
01[19:41] <GeMshuku> And in this city, a girl called Himukai is in her room!
[19:41] <ChefMKT> !
01[19:44] <GeMshuku> What's she doing? I dunno. It's after school, certainly after 3 PM, but she's definitely IN there.
[19:47] <ChefMKT> Renge is sitting in her room relaxing on her bed by the open window, letting the cool breeze enter.
[19:47] <ChefMKT> She's hugging her pillow tightly as she's watching the latest episode of Magical Battle Girls High School, the 2nd year
01[19:49] <GeMshuku> ...However, she would find her peace short lived. ...For what it's worth. Is it peace? It's hard to tell. Good show, though!
01[19:50] <GeMshuku> ...Good enough that it would seem some of the wildlife--is that a rabbit? That is a rabbit outside the window, looking at such an angle that it's obviously watching the TV. Would it be noticed? Or would it watch all the way to the end of the disk?
01[19:50] <GeMshuku> ...Sure, it's got a gear in its head, but it's watching your TV.
[19:51] <ChefMKT> Turning her head, Renge makes eye contact with the strange creature.
[19:52] <ChefMKT> "How did you get up here? Wait, what is that thing sticking out of your head?!"
[19:53] <ChefMKT> Renge throws her pillow onto the bed and crawls towards her window to take a closer look.
[19:56] <ChefMKT> She reaches her hand outside the window and attempts to grab the rabbit so that it doesn't fall from the tree it's sitting on 1,1(Because I assumed I was in the second storey of the house)
03[19:56] * Raitaki ([email protected]) has joined #Meguca
01[19:57] <GeMshuku> And as she does, it turns to her. And while she probably speaks not expecting a response, it just can't help but reply! "Good at hopping." ...You're pretty sure being 'good at hopping' does not even begin to explain the ascent. ...Or a lot of other things for that matter. "Magical girl TV shows...are about what I expected!" It speaks in a strangely cutesy voice. Honestly it looks a lot like one of those mascot characters. It shows little reaction to being picked up...though you're certain it probably could have held its place anyway!
[19:59] <ChefMKT> With eyes widened, Renge safely brings the creature inside. "Y-you can talk?"
[20:04] <ChefMKT> Renge turns to the TV and the show's cute slime mascot is on screen, then stares back at the rabbit.
01[20:04] <GeMshuku> "Yes! There are those that would think they're crazy before even acknowledging that. ...So, disclaimer, you're not crazy!"
[20:06] <ChefMKT> "I don't know, some people at school still think I'm crazy for watching this show still." Renge motions towards the TV screen with the rolling credits.
[20:08] <ChefMKT> "Ah, where are my manners. I'm Himukai Renge. What is your name?"
01[20:09] <GeMshuku> "On the contrary, I suppose it makes things a lot easier to explain. You seem at peace with a talking rabbit, so let's just cut to the chase! My name is Fate, a pleasure to meet you!" It sticks out an ear with far more control than a rabbit would have, almost as if you're supposed to shake it! "And this city is some serious danger."
[20:11] <ChefMKT> "Fate? That's not a very cute name. Maybe I should try to think of a new name that's more fitting...hmmm..." Renge begins to list off random names as she trails off in her own thoughts.
01[20:16] <GeMshuku> ...This is fine. It's met weirder, really. "...Do try to think of one in short order, I am a busy rabbit, and the situation is quite pressing!"
[20:16] <ChefMKT> "Ah!" Renge taps her fist into her open palm signifying an ephiphany. "For some reason you remind me of Kyubey, so maybe I could call you Usabey?" Renge turns towards Fate with a smile.
01[20:21] <GeMshuku> "S-so it's that kind of comparison. ...The name isn't that bad, though, so sure, let's go with that! ...That all well and said, you might be wondering just what it is that would prompt something like me to come out of the woodworks. ...And I can answer that without actually answering the question~"
[20:22] <ChefMKT> "Ah, right! You said that the city was in danger somehow?"
03[20:22] * Cat-Earred_Minna is now known as Kumiko_Nekomata
01[20:26] <GeMshuku> "Yes. While you might think the idea to be sort of absurd, my presence does wonders at clearing the fog those things have set over your minds...before thinking about what things might have done this, think about the place you're living in."
01[20:28] <GeMshuku> ...On doing so, a few things that weren't entirely clear...quickly become so. The first thing that springs to mind: holy shit a fourth of the city was on fire yesterday. Most of the shopping district was caught on fire and no one batted much of an eye. How do you not think about that?
[20:29] <ChefMKT> Renge tilts her head slightly, "Now that you mention it, that does seem very weird."
01[20:29] <GeMshuku> Only THEN does the rest of the situation sink in. That is, uh, there's a lot of 'disappearances' here. ...And--ok there's a few bodies literally just outside that have been obviously mauled by something...non-specific.
[20:29] <Kumiko_Nekomata> Somewhere a short distance away, a young girl sneezes. Someone must be talking about her!
01[20:30] <GeMshuku> And it's not rare to see buildings that have faced 'structural damages'. A lot of buildings. Thinking back, that wasn't just some random collapse. Too many buildings, first off. Second, it looked nothing like it. But, that's just how the head filled in the blanks.
01[20:32] <GeMshuku> "...Once you've fully taken in everything, know that the things responsible for these unexplained circumstances...would be the youma, who have the ability to make their actions unrecognizable to a normal human, even if doing so would really stretch the imagination." In this case, apparently mistake 'peaceful city' for 'basically a warzone'.
[20:34] <ChefMKT> "All of that destructions was caused by the youma? W-what are they?" Renge is taken aback still trying to process all of this.
[20:35] <ChefMKT> "So wait, why did you come to me to tell this to? What are you exactly?"
01[20:39] <GeMshuku> "They are destructive forces, that wish to destroy humanity. Little more needs to be said about them, other than perhaps they're a lot better at the job than I gave them credit for. ...And I am a tsukaima, who is trying to keep this from happening. But instead of having the power to stop it myself, I have only the power to grant others the power to defeat them. ...Provided they're willing, of course!"
[20:42] <ChefMKT> Renge's eyes narrow slightly, showing a strong sense of determination. "Usabey, what do I need to do in order to have the power to protect everyone against the youma?"
01[20:47] <GeMshuku> "You need only accept the power given to you, in order to become a magical girl. Doing this will allow you to see the youma for what they really are, as well as give you the power to stop them! ...Of course, destroying them is another story entirely, for they're incredibly strong, and stopping them requires more than just one. A magical girl team, if you will. ...And while you seem ready for a selfless job, there's rewards in it for you as well!"
[20:51] <ChefMKT> "A...A Magical girl? REALLY?!" Renge suddenly steps towards the rabbit, kneels down and comes within several inches of Fate, directly looking into their eyes and says in a very serious tone, "You better not be joking about this. Not only do I get to protect people but I can be a magical girl as well?"
01[20:56] <GeMshuku> "I-I am not joking! This is most definitely not a joke, I assure you!" It seems only slightly unnerved by the girl's sudden approach! "And if you don't use magic carefully, it can go sour fast, so...you can't use it as freely as you might be imagining!"
[20:57] <ChefMKT> Renge suddenly changes back to her cheery tone, "Alright then! Let's protect the people of the city and defeat the youma!"
01[20:59] <GeMshuku> "Very well, then! With the thought of becoming a magical girl, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and...er, please try to relax!"
[20:59] <ChefMKT> Range closes her eyes, thinking about what type of cute costume she'll get to wear.
01[21:04] <GeMshuku> As she does this, she'll notice a glow from the rabbit, probably coming from that gear. It's only noticable since it's a piercing sort of brightness, visible behind the eyelids...and it gets EVER BRIGHTER. Unable to open her eyes to see it, it becomes quick to understand that such a thing would be for the best, as it proceeds to only get brighter from there. Brighter, brighter...brighter than even the sun! Would be blinding, if her eyes weren't already closed. But eventually, the brightness ceases to be, and she regains control over her eyelids. "You can open your eyes now. You seem happy about this, so...congratulations on becoming a magical girl!"
[21:13] <ChefMKT> Renge slowly opens her eyes and looks down at what she is now wearing. A small white breastplate covers most of her torso with thin red trimmings that decorate the edges. As Renge raises her right arm, she notices that she has some sort of bracers on that are similarly decorated.
02[21:14] * Raitaki ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[21:14] <ChefMKT> She blinks a few times before it finally sinks in, this wasn't a dream. She quickly looked around herself to see that her skirt was replaced with a white armor plated skirt with similar red trimmings. Attached to this was long, white tail coat that flowed to the ground.
[21:16] <ChefMKT> After a few seconds, Renge comes back to reality and turns towards Fate, "Alright, where's the youma located?"
[21:16] <Kumiko_Nekomata> As she says that, there is a sudden loud noise as... /something/ landed on Renge's roof.
[21:18] <ChefMKT> Renge looks up at her ceiling, "They really should use the front door or at least knock."
[21:18] <ChefMKT> Renge pokes her head outside the window and looks up to see what caused that noise
01[21:19] <GeMshuku> "...So excited, you immediately transformed, I see! This is fine. Better than going unconscious, at any rate~! ...In any case...well, there's a youma that a lot of us are looking for, but you see--I doubt that's a youma, but I suppose we should exercise caution. ...No better time than now to figure out how flying works."
01[21:19] <GeMshuku> ...It really IS that good at hopping, for it finds itself on the roof in short order!
[21:20] <ChefMKT> "I-I can fly as well?!" Renge pokes her back inside to look at Fate.
[21:21] <ChefMKT> "Do I...just do it?" Renge asks with a puzzling look.
02[21:22] * Tsukishiro_Miyamoto ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Tsukishiro_Miyamoto)
01[21:22] <GeMshuku> "Yes! Magic comes naturally to people! They might need to work on the finer points, but as a whole, it comes naturally."
[21:23] <Kumiko_Nekomata> A head suddenly hangs upside down from the rooftop, peering in through the window! Her long reddish hair is flowing down, subjected to gravity, but you notice tentrils of flame dancing among it.
[21:25] <ChefMKT> "Alright, if you say so! You haven't lied to me yet so far!" Renge exclaims as she forces herself out of the window and attempts to fly.
01[21:25] <GeMshuku> She falls off the stage and loses a stock. Why are you SDing, Fox?
01[21:26] <GeMshuku> ...Just kidding. She floats!
03[21:26] * Raitaki ([email protected]) has joined #Meguca
[21:26] <Kumiko_Nekomata> ... Impact. A solid one at that. You can literally feel the red head reeling from the impact of someone's skull smashing into her face.
[21:26] <Kumiko_Nekomata> ... Naturally she... falls off the roof.
01[21:27] <GeMshuku> There wasn't actually any impact! Unless it was Kumiko's head.
01[21:27] <GeMshuku> In which case, it's the fall, THEN the impact.
[21:27] <ChefMKT> Renge comes back to the battle field in attack mode after revealing her face down card that she put down a turn earlier
[21:28] <Kumiko_Nekomata> ... Well the only thing that's facedown is the girl you brutally skullbashed just now.
01[21:28] <GeMshuku> ...Unless, of course, the impact was someone jumping out of the window that someone was already peering though. That all well and said, you still manage to keep altitude!
01[21:29] <GeMshuku> Unlike Kumiko, who Fate comments on. "...I see someone's still managing to have some sort of fun. Thankfully, it's not a youma!"
[21:29] <ChefMKT> Renge begins to float upwards so that she's on the same level as the roof to see what caused the noise previously.
[21:34] <ChefMKT> Renge looks around, not noticing anything on the roof. She then looks down.
[21:35] <Kumiko_Nekomata> There is no response, it is just a corp- Oh wait. It twitched.
[21:37] <ChefMKT> "Usabey! Is this the youma I'm looking for?" Renge questions as she floats down to the ground
01[21:39] <GeMshuku> "Definitely not. That would be...Kumiko, I believe. She's...well, if she were to talk about what's happened to her recently, it would probably make most folk reconsider their positions as magical girls. She's a magical girl herself!"
[21:41] <ChefMKT> Renge realizes at this point the throbbing pain that struck her head when she jumped out the window wasn't from tapping into her magical power, but from hitting someone that was outside her window that was now on the ground after falling two storeys.
[21:41] <Kumiko_Nekomata> After a while two long black tendrils suddenly rise from her back... before jolting straight! A few seconds later, the rest of the body props itself up and stands to attention... though her right hand is a little pre-occupied with cradling her face.
01[21:41] <GeMshuku> "Thankfully, being magical makes you a lot more resilient, so you'll all be alright!"
[21:41] <ChefMKT> "Ah! I'm so sorry!"
[21:42] <ChefMKT> "Are you alright, Kumiko?" Renge asks as she approaches her
[21:43] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "I dink my noz is brokn." Kumiko(?) said slowly. The two tendrils... which turned out to be a pair of cat tails, and the ears on top of her head twitch sporazically as Kumiko tries to recover.
[21:45] <ChefMKT> "Let me help you up!" Renge says as she leans over to offer support, noticing the cat-like ears.
[21:46] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Oh. I can talk normally again." Kumiko's nose seems to have... restored itself... somehow! "I knew I smelt some magic residue in the area. Fate's been flirtin' with girls again, the silly bunnyboy~"
[21:48] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Oh... and hi! You must be... the new recruit!"
[21:48] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Kumiko's the name and... you are?"
01[21:49] <GeMshuku> "...And as a result of these incidents, she's feeling...particularly...catty. Not that it stops people from gaining catgirl accessories when they transform, but this isn't quite that."
[21:50] <ChefMKT> "Ah, hello. I'm Renge. So you're a magical girl as well?" Renge places both her hands on Kumiko's shoulders, with dilated pupils. "What's it li ke being a magical girl? Is it fun? What type of powers do you have? Why do you look like a cat? Do you still have your human ears even with the cat ears on top of your head? What is it like having four ears?"
[21:52] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "I actually lost my human ears." Kumiko said out straight."As for why I'm like this well... call it... Magic overuse?"
[21:52] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Like the whole magic business is quite... stressful. It's like a job. Only you don't get paid regularly, you have no rights, sick leave is banned, aannnd you can lose your life! That sums it up pretty quickly!"
[21:53] <ChefMKT> "...Oh." Renge suddenly is at a loss of words.
[21:53] <ChefMKT> "But we still have a duty to protect the people from the youma, right?"
[21:54] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Fate is really bad at telling people about the fine print." Kumiko says as she flicks a fireball at Fate, aiming to narrowly miss it by shooting between the ears! "Get down here, we need to have a talk."
[21:54] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Well, sure there's that but this whole magical girl business really cuts into my personal life."
01[21:54] <GeMshuku> "We allow sick leave! ...We just check up on you to be sure it's not...'sick' leave. Forged doctor's notes can only save you for so long!" It's...really good at keeping its cool, so it doesn't even move to dodge it!
[21:55] <ChefMKT> Renge immediately flies up and peers into the room to make sure the fire didn't hit any of her precious magical girl merchandise
[21:55] <Kumiko_Nekomata> The fireball seems to have vanished a few centimeters after passing between Fate's ears.
[21:56] <ChefMKT> Renge breathes a sigh of relief as she floats back down.
[21:57] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "It's pretty hard explaining to people you don't have normal human ears any more." Kumiko continues. "That's why my hair grew out so long."
[21:58] <ChefMKT> "If you ask me, your new ears looks quite cute." Renge replies.
[22:00] <ChefMKT> "So what was this about not explaining fine print?"
[22:03] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Well, the fact that people die wasn't really part of the job description."
[22:03] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Fate just goes on and on about the benefits of being a magical girl, and nothing on the whole "risking your life" thing!"
[22:05] <ChefMKT> "Oh, well I suppose if you didn't know about that then would be a problem. Did you never watch Magical Girl Must Die or any of those darker magical girl series by Sunset?"
[22:06] <ChefMKT> "They go into a lot of depth about the dangers of being a magical girl that a lot of the other series don't ever touch."
[22:09] <ChefMKT> "If you're interested I have a BD-ray boxset you could borrow. It's the limited edition uncensored version!"
[22:15] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "... I'll... pass. I think I have little enough free time as it is." Kumiko replied slowly.
[22:18] <ChefMKT> "...Oh. Well, the offer will always be open!" Renge says seemingly a little disappointed.
[22:20] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "I'm already a magical girl and I already had to watch people die so I'd rather not relieve that experience"
[22:23] <ChefMKT> "Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't realize..." Renge says as she lowers her head
[22:24] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Yes yes." Kumiko said as she slowly floated up to grab Fate. "That's why we need a /looong/ talk about your recruitment methods, you lil' scam artist." She said while attempting to stretch Fate's ears.
01[22:26] <GeMshuku> "L-let's not. ...I mean, you have to strike a balance between telling it like it is, telling them literally everything, and the fate of the world. It's not exactly an easy job!" It wriggles a bit.
[22:27] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "You're the one directing us toward the youma we fight, so tell me why you thought it was a good idea to send us packing towards the strongest blob in the pack just to get eradicated? We don't nearly have enough experience yet as it is to deal with the origin of all youma."
[22:28] <ChefMKT> "Eradicated? What happened there?"
01[22:28] <GeMshuku> "You're remembering that one wrong. You went towards that one on your own volitition. ...At least, as far as I'm aware. I certainly don't remember sending you towards something I only realized existed a day or so ago."
01[22:29] <GeMshuku> "...And as for 'origin of all youma', well, we still don't even know what it is, so unless you learned anything new?"
01[22:31] <GeMshuku> "...Incidentally, yes, some youma are obscenely powerful. We have to handle those with extreme care, lest they bring about the apocalypse on their lonesome. Please, do not let your valor blind you. That can hurt!"
[22:31] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Says the one staying out of danger regardless of severity" The earstretching is reaching insane proportions.
[22:33] <ChefMKT> "Perhaps we should discuss this inside?" Renges says with a serious tone "Magical Girl 101 states that I need to keep my identity a secret so standing in my backyard in the open is not the best idea right now."
[22:33] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Oh, you don't have to worry about that." Kumiko said confidently. "Knowing Fate, he probably has one of those people clearing auras at work, so we're not really at risk of being seen."
01[22:34] <GeMshuku> The ears just...keep stretching! "My death would result in things getting particularly ba--just carry me by the ears--d, as it would make recruitment far harder, and it's not like I have fighting prowess, you know. Also, that's a youma thing. We just take advantage of a lingering one in the square."
[22:35] <ChefMKT> "I see. I suppose being a real life Magical Girl is going to be slightly different than my usual anime then."
[22:35] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "So if I lobbed you into the women's side of a public bathhouse, they'd all see you?"
01[22:37] <GeMshuku> "...Yes. Though I have means to avoid detection, they're somewhat flawed. ...I imagine they would be baffled to see someone throw in a rabbit, though." It doesn't seem to think about it too much one way or another!
[22:38] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "We'll put that to the test after we grill you for information that you've been hiding from us." Kumiko said as she tied the ears into a firm knot and then hung the rabbit on her arms, much like a shopping bag or purse. "Do we go in through the window or something?
[22:39] <ChefMKT> "Oh! Yes we do need to go through my window. I locked the front door and the key is inside the house still." Renge says as she slowly floats up
[22:39] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "... where are your parents?" Kumiko asked. This seemed odd.
[22:40] <ChefMKT> "Well, my father is still working and doesn't come home until later in the evening." Renge replies
01[22:41] <GeMshuku> It seems used to the rough treatment that Kumiko gives it!
[22:42] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Let's get inside!" Kumiko said. At the same time Kumiko seems to dig her hands into a small pouch reminescent of the one Miyu used to carry... but instead of pulling out a screwdriver... Kumiko pulls out... a chain?
[22:43] <ChefMKT> Renge follows Kumiko inside her own room.
[22:43] <Kumiko_Nekomata> While Kumiko is floating up into Renge's room, she slowly threads the chain through the slots in Fate's HeadGear.
01[22:46] <GeMshuku> "Let the questioning commence, then." ...It really IS used to this! "It's this kind of suspicion that makes my job hard. ...That, and some feel the need to vent. Understandable, but..."
[22:47] <ChefMKT> Renge closes the window before turning around and seeing the strange scene before her. "Er...Kumiko, what are you doing?"
[22:47] <Kumiko_Nekomata> The chain tightened! And Kumiko sets off to find a way to nail both ends of the chains onto the nearby table! Eliminate all chances of escaping!
[22:48] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Oh I just heard in passing that if you stop the gear from spinning, Fate can't spontaneously run away." Kumiko said as she sought a way to firmly anchor the chain somewhere!
01[22:49] <GeMshuku> "...I'm not entirely sure where you heard that." Just nonchalantly being bound!
[22:49] <ChefMKT> "Isn't this a little...excessive?" Renge asked, still stuck to the window, stunned at what she's witnessing
[22:51] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Well, you know, there are times where you /really/ want to punch your boss in the face and kick him in the crotch. This is one of those times." Kumiko said as she finally put a bolt and nut into the gap between the chains and kept it loosely wrapped around a chair leg. Kumiko then promptly sat down on the same chair.
[22:53] <ChefMKT> "I wouldn't know how that feels...mostly because I've never had a job..." Renge says trailing off
01[22:53] <GeMshuku> To an outsider's perspective, yes. To an insider...er, it might still be 'yes'. "Some magical girls can go a bit crazy as well. We're no strangers to this, either. Maybe they lost someone important, line of duty or not. Maybe they used too much magic and it's messing with their mind. We have plans for when this gets out of hand! ...Seems the loss of her friends is taking a toll...or maybe I'm just that unliked." It sighs!
[22:55] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Well then." Kumiko crosses her legs, her tails slowly swaying in the air.
[22:59] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "Tell us everything you know about the threat we're facing right now." Kumiko said.
01[22:59] <GeMshuku> "The one you're concerned with, the general threat, or something else?" Multiple choice everythings!
[23:00] <Kumiko_Nekomata> "*Everything*"
01[23:06] <GeMshuku> "...Well, might as well start with the part I was going to explain earlier. We might be here a while. Youma of sufficent strength are oft to drop Oblivion Seeds. They're obviously some part of the youma that lingers on...and we've figured out how to use that part of the youma to grant a wish to anyone that can gather thirteen of them."
[23:07] <ChefMKT> Renge tilts her head at the mention of this, but continues to stay in her position
01[23:08] <GeMshuku> "Why thirteen? It's magic. You want me to explain that? I can't. Ask Shen. It has to do with having just enough power to run whatever high wizardry Shen does. It's very specific. You might be there for hours learning nothing of importance."
01[23:10] <GeMshuku> "Why would thirteen add up every time? Every seed has the same kind of power that would run it. Some might glow brighter, but it's all the same to whatever it is that Shen does." ...It's really going all out.
01[23:12] <GeMshuku> "These wishes can be looked over before being made to work, and the wish granting runs with the same sort of magical backbone that makes you into magical girls. As such, permission is needed for it to properly work, so we can't screw you over even if we wanted to for some insane reason! As for the scope of these wishes...sadly, 'I wish for all the youma to be dead' and wishes of that ilk won't work. Believe me, we've tried."
01[23:12] <GeMshuku> "A lot of other things are possible, even things like mass ressurection! There's probably a limit to even that, but I've seen 10 people get revived with no ill side-effects."
01[23:14] <GeMshuku> "Questions? Comments? The goal is to be through, so I can't just leave you behind."
[23:15] <ChefMKT> Renge raises her hand "I have a question"
