Someone picks contract. Wants to be someone else yada yada yada, goes for what's effectively closure because they feel guilty over people needing to deal with their mess...
[02:08] <Tangent> Ends up as /someone else/ alright. Fake Parents. So far so good?
[02:09] <Kajiya> And then the someone else they become shows up?
[02:09] <Tangent> Except that the person ("the vacancy") whose shoes they're filling? Was a magical girl who got killed. And said magical girl's best friend saw it happen.
[02:09] <Tangent> (So she's pretty much the only one who knows someone's walking around wearing her dead friend's face... :D)
[02:10] <Tangent> Coincidentally, a certain /someone/ transformed tries killing the replacement while they're out on patrol. :V
[02:10] <Tangent> Maybe a cuckoo motif?
[02:10] <Kajiya> Inb4 the someone that aims for them
[02:10] <Kajiya> Is aiming to kill the same girl over and over
[02:10] <Tangent> Pffft.
[02:11] <Kajiya> >inb4 girl survives and the puchuu remarks how she's the first one out of fifty to not die to that attack.
[02:11] <Tangent> Nah, I was thinking it was the best friend who's careening over the edge
[02:11] <Tangent> seeing as uh
[02:11] <Kajiya> (And then the best friend is even more "OH GOD WHAT")
[02:11] <Tangent> something's wearing her best friend's /face/
[02:11] <Kajiya> True
[02:11] <Tangent> http://symbols.ehibou.com/cuckoo/
[02:12] <Tangent> Hmmmmmmmmmm.
[02:12] <Kajiya> But that said, good end maybe in that she settles things between them? *Shrug*
[02:12] <Tangent> Good end could be quite literally...closure.
[02:12] <Tangent> In that the cuckoo talks her down from her self-destructive path and apologizes for the harm to her she herself's caused?
[02:12] <Tangent> in classical magical girl beat them by talking style?
[02:13] <Tangent> I just kinda like the idea of "Oh, yes, we have a vacancy" like someone's life is a hotel room
[02:13] <Tangent> Also motifs are a thing that are cool
[02:13] <Kajiya> *shrug*
[02:13] <Kajiya> But yea, good end prolly in the magical girl style of beating them down to incapacitation
[02:14] <Kajiya> Then befriending
[02:14] <Kajiya> Alternatively going higurashi style in it
[02:14] <Kajiya> And the 'replacement' girl lets the other win and the other opts not to go and finish off the 'fake'.
[02:14] <Tangent> Mmm.
[02:14] <Tangent> Bad end is murder-suicide~
[02:15] <Tangent> And two "vacancies"
