  1. [5/1/2015 10:05:25 PM] *** Apathetic Forest Fairy watches~ ***
  2. [5/1/2015 10:05:33 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: alright, here we go
  3. [5/1/2015 10:05:43 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: IT'S THE YEAR 20XX--wrong script
  4. [5/1/2015 10:08:25 PM] J.H: ((Roll20 is being a butt.))
  5. [5/1/2015 10:08:49 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ((It's OK, you don't need it yet unless you're rolling dice for kicks))
  6. [5/1/2015 10:09:33 PM] J.H: ((Heh.))
  7. [5/1/2015 10:10:06 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ((who knows what a random insight roll will get you))
  8. [5/1/2015 10:10:15 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: IT'S THE YEAR 2015. The city of Mae was as it always was...under the siege of magical girls. Or youma. Really, people aren't sure, and they've developed an uncanny resistance to thinking about it for the most part. And in this city, the tsukaima were doing recruitment drives. Rather, the one in charge was Fate, a white rabbit with a small gear embedded in its head, and the others were doing their own jobs.
  9. [5/1/2015 10:13:07 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: The rabbit(?) was good at its job. It knew which houses to go to, barring some strange and unfortunate incidents that no one will hear about. It might be the lucky foot. Today, this strange rabbit made an appearance in front of the window in Makoto's room. It speaks, with a voice that rings in Makoto's mind (and only there, since the window is closed). "Excuse me? May I have a moment?"
  10. [5/1/2015 10:16:14 PM] J.H: Makoto seemed to be embroiled in the typical worries of a girl her age. Homework and the mundanity of family life, really. And, as typical for a young woman who retained most of what humans hesitantly called 'sanity', she found the voice a little unsettling. She looked about to see where it might've come from...and then noticed the unusual thing outside the window...
  11. [5/1/2015 10:17:13 PM] J.H: She sat up from her desk, leaving her half-finished homework aside, staring at the...rabbit thing as if she was hallucinating. "...Who's there!"
  12. [5/1/2015 10:18:28 PM] J.H: Hesitantly, she opened the window. This was...surely some kind of fever dream, or something?
  13. [5/1/2015 10:18:33 PM] J.H: ((:3))
  14. [5/1/2015 10:18:47 PM] Kaosukage: (^^)
  15. [5/1/2015 10:20:03 PM] Boxy Fox: (Guh, good morning.)
  16. [5/1/2015 10:20:47 PM] Adventurer Kaiser: evenin'...
  17. [5/1/2015 10:21:42 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ((pls))
  18. [5/1/2015 10:23:03 PM] J.H: ((Makoto's like 'shit I'm off my meds'))
  19. [5/1/2015 10:23:14 PM] J.H: ((And so it will only get WORSE.))
  20. [5/1/2015 10:24:48 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Please, do not worry your head." It hops in, eventually finding Makoto's bed as a proper place to sit. "You're not hallucinating, and you're not in danger. Lay your worries to rest. I'm here regarding...a proposition. Or perhaps a plea? You must have heard about the strange things in this place by now. The presence of magical girls, and how they insist they fight youma, beasts beyond man's normal understanding. Buildings suffering from excessive damage, and the public outcry being mild at best. You should recall at least one of these things, right?"
  21. [5/1/2015 10:26:01 PM] Mikomiko-tan~: ugh more damn
  22. [5/1/2015 10:26:03 PM] Mikomiko-tan~: fucking templates
  23. [5/1/2015 10:26:09 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ((pls))
  24. [5/1/2015 10:27:05 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: And it IS true. The reaction that magical girls existed prior to this moment seems like it was seen through a fog. The reaction to the destroyed buildings...less so, but that does seem about right. However, in the presence of this thing, these feelings seem to pierce that very fog, however lightly.
  25. [5/1/2015 10:32:16 PM] J.H: She'd heard some things about the mysterious magical conflict that went on in the shadows of town. It had always disturbed her that the battle for this reality could very well be real. And this creature, as odd as it was, flat out told her. She hadn't believed it at first, and disregarded the troubling increase in these incidents. She had a normal life. But...
  26.  
  27. Well, what could she really do other than ask further? "...Hold on. Well...well, only some of it. I don't know that much about it and...did you just read my mind?"
  28. [5/1/2015 10:35:09 PM] J.H: "...Slow down a minute." And who's the one talking to a mind-rabbit, here? "I'm guessing you're here because it's something...important, right?" That only struck her, now. Something like this didn't tend to happen to random people. People selected for something otherworldly, of course, tended to be people closer to that kind of unusual trouble. And she'd been researching. Oh, had she ever.
  29. [5/1/2015 10:40:17 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Read your mind? As interesting as such a thing might be, no. I've simply recounted the thoughts that many people have regarding these events. That said, yes, I'm here because of something important. You...have the power to become a magical girl, in order to fight the youma that lay waste to your world, both on a mundanely destructive scale, as well as laying down a fog in your minds. A fog that would force you to overlook the presence of such dangerous enemies entirely."
  30. [5/1/2015 10:40:55 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: On saying that she had the power to become a magical girl, the rabbit pointed its ears at Makoto. For effect!
  31. [5/1/2015 10:45:42 PM | Edited 10:46:02 PM] J.H: "If you're talking about my being...normal, you're a bit too late for that..." For a while, she'd had some bizarre dreams, and they troubled her, but she still ruled them out, for the most part. She hesitantly asked... "Why me? Why, out of so many people in the city - no, in this world?" She rubbed her forehead and took a moment to focus. "N-Nevermind that. How dangerous are they, then? I've heard of buildings and people being affected on the news...and I've done some digging, but it seems everyone just wants to keep quiet."
  32. [5/1/2015 10:52:12 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Ah, if you were normal, I would have never shown up." It uses its right ear to pat the gear embedded in its head for a moment, before assuming standard ear stance. "That said, they're quite dangerous indeed. They're easily a match for...I believe they were called 'military vehicles'. Not only are they dangerous, but they grow in number with each passing day. If they are not handled as they come, this town would be overrun. And as I said, the youma are unable to be properly processed in the minds of a normal person. Those with awakened magical talents, however, are immune to this effect. If we didn't have several on the case already, well..."
  33. [5/1/2015 10:53:29 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...it might be best not to describe what would result, other than it would be very messy, and no one would be able to grasp what is happening, or even that anything is happening at all."
  34. [5/1/2015 10:54:46 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "A magical girl...well, there are youma more than a match for a single magical girl. This used to not be the case, but the youma continue to increase their power. The situation grows ever more dire..."
  35. [5/1/2015 10:55:09 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: It reflects on this, while waiting for Makoto to take that all in.
  36. [5/1/2015 10:58:17 PM] J.H: "...Yeah, I've gathered that much, as well. I've had pretty bad dreams.." She sighed... "And I've always thought this world was more than a little unfair. Monsters, above that, and it only seems to make things worse." Makoto didn't seem like the type to be shocked by conspiracy. Just...confused. "And you're saying I can change that? How do I know you haven't said the same thing to so many people, already, Usagi-chan?"
  37. [5/1/2015 10:59:50 PM] J.H: "...I've always wanted to fix a few things here and there. So, what's at the end of this rabbit hole of yours?"
  38. [5/1/2015 11:03:24 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Please, call me Fate. That said, full disclosure, I have. Many have turned away from the idea, scared of the threatening unknown, or just fully convince themselves that I'm not actually there. Others have joined the fight, but we continue to have a need for more. Every one of you out there will make quite the difference! ...Still, though, you seem special. You've put a rather large amount of thought into this, compared to most! It might mean you're special, even amongst magical girls!"
  39. [5/1/2015 11:05:20 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "That said, not is all doom and gloom. The youma have things that we've called 'Oblivion Seeds'. A lot have one, some have more. But what's true, is that we have figured out how to utilize these things. If 13 are gathered in a single spot, a wish can be granted!"
  40. [5/1/2015 11:09:17 PM] J.H: "I think I understand..." Makoto nodded along. Although it felt...disconcerting to listen to a spectral gear rabbit, she couldn't really stop listening... "Wishes, as well? Doesn't that mean that other magical girls might fight against eachother?" Sitting back down into her chair, she crossed her legs and muttered... "To be honest, I just want to get to the bottom of this, myself. I've dug into it this far, Fate. And I agree with you...it's wrong that people should have to suffer this way."
  41. [5/1/2015 11:10:30 PM] J.H: "...I've seen what happens if nobody's around to stop it, either. If I'm so special, like you say...could I change that?"
  42. [5/1/2015 11:14:11 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "It should be within your power. ...Not alone, though. As you've guessed, realizing that the Oblivion Seeds could be used like that has caused an uncomfortable amount of magical girls turn on each other. We're working on discouraging this sort of behavior, but the youma seem to be helping us out in that regard, in that if someone can't be trusted, they'll be alone, and if they're alone, the youma will probably defeat them."
  43. [5/1/2015 11:16:07 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...It should be noted that 13 seeds means only one wish, however, and that our granter isn't a 'first come, first serve' sort of wishgranter. There is that to think about. In an ideal situation, the group would agree on a wish!"
  44. [5/1/2015 11:20:30 PM] J.H: "I don't intend to be alone. If I could find some others, maybe...maybe we might really be able to make a difference." Standing up, resolute in her understanding, she replied... "Fate, I don't know nearly enough about this...but there's something seriously wrong with this place. If you'll give me the power to make this world a better one, I'll take your offer."
  45.  
  46. And quick witted, that she was, she asked... "It depends on what your price is, because I've already given up enough of my time digging into this insanity. I might as well go further."
  47. [5/1/2015 11:25:37 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "The price? ...Magic is a powerful tool. Abuse of it comes with its own price. Even against fierce foes, you might want to show moderation if you're feeling too pressured, and discretion can be the better part of valor. And definitely don't use it to do daily chores. Aside from that, the only price is that you'll have to fight the evil, as a magical girl must~!"
  48. [5/1/2015 11:26:56 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "With this in mind, are you sure you want to become a magical girl? I have to ask one more time, it's an obligation. Can't turn the unwilling!"
  49. [5/1/2015 11:33:05 PM] J.H: Makoto nodded with as much resolve as she could muster. "I know, I know. Great power and great responsibility." More seriously, she answered... "I accept your offer. But there's something I want from you in exchange..."
  50.  
  51. "I've written down some symbols here and there. People tried to hide them away or pretend they weren't there. Can you...tell me what they mean?"
  52. [5/1/2015 11:37:33 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Ah?" It looks and hops around, at some point or another finding these symbols...and its eyes widen. "...Oh? Oh ho? Looks like I no longer have to use wishy-washy talk about your potential. I have seen many youma come and go. These symbols...they are the youma's language. We've not had a means to decipher, but if you've seen them before even meeting me, when such a thing should be completely impossible...you must be special! No two ways about it. And, perhaps you'll be able to answer such things yourself once you're awakened. It's a feeling I get."
  53. [5/1/2015 11:38:16 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...Now, with the formalities resolved...take a deep breath, close your eyes, and relax." The gear atop Fate's head glows!
  54. [5/1/2015 11:42:22 PM] J.H: Makoto calmed herself down, taking a moment to take it all in. If things were going to change, she didn't have to be afraid of this. Perhaps something was different about her. "...Go ahead, then. I'm ready as ever."
  55. [5/1/2015 11:45:55 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ((YES I REALIZE I'M TAKING A WHILE, GOT CARRIED AWAY FAIRY))
  56. [5/1/2015 11:46:01 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ((Oops, having too much fun~~))
  57. [5/1/2015 11:46:20 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Very well." Even with your eyes closed, you can still sense the shining light from the gearhead (the gear on its head, obviously). It shines...brightly. So bright, even your closed eyes dare not open, like you were staring into the sun. This lasts a moment...before being replaced with a different scene entirely. Much different. Even the 'you' in this scene...feels different, as if you're but a presence in the scene before you.
  58. [5/1/2015 11:46:41 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: The year is 20XX. Everyone's playing Fo--wrong script.
  59. [5/1/2015 11:49:08 PM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: ((Calm down, roll 3 dice, take overcharge damage when you roll 15 or less))
  60. [5/1/2015 11:49:15 PM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: (( shot dead ))
  61. [5/1/2015 11:52:07 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: The scene...it can only be described as a wasteland. It looks as though it used to be a city, but it can hardly be called such now. Even the ruins are ruins. And amongst these ruins, in the sky, a silver armored girl of slightly older age with black hair is fighting something that would blow the mind of anyone that hadn't lived a few JRPGs, a behemoth sphere of eyes, with varying iris and even sclera colors. She strikes true, but it barely phases the thing. It responds with a tackle at a clearly unrealistic speed, which hits dead on. One of these things is clearly winning. The fight does not last long, and the girl untransforms in mid air, her features no longer recognizable. The sphere goes for a tackle the moment it hits the ground, and an uncomforting crash is heard.
  62. [5/1/2015 11:53:29 PM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: As it rises once more, Makoto suddenly finds herself with her eyes closed, and a distinct sense of self, and the reality of the world and her situation, along with whatever else she picked up along the way. She might not be sure of it, but she would open her eyes to where she left them.
  63. [5/1/2015 11:59:36 PM] J.H: Makoto, awakening from the vision, clutches at her head, feeling rather ill. She'd felt as if she'd been dragged into a whole other world - no, the same world. But...a moment that was clearly different.
  64.  
  65. She had to excuse herself for a moment. After all that, she felt the distinct urge to vomit. And her head stung. Burned, throbbed. But...something had opened in her. It felt 'real'. Returning to the rabbit being, she hesitantly asked, collapsing into her chair... "...Was that...the future?"
  66. [12:00:27 AM] J.H: "I don't know what you've done to me, b-but...I...I'm starting to...understand."
  67. [12:03:22 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "The power that lay dormant within you was given form. Sadly, it is impossible for me to tell exactly what it would be. I know not if you've seen the future, or a hallucination. Really, I don't know what you saw at all...but, if it happens to be the future, I'd believe it can be changed, especially if you've seen it with your own eyes, right?"
  68. [12:07:10 AM] *** J.H The girl nods faintly, still trying to catch her breath... "...I-It better be. I-if this is how things are going to be, I h-...haven't any choice. That thing...that youma is what ends the world."
  69.  
  70. Makoto grits her teeth, and even through her disorientation, seems stronger than ever. "...I saw it in my dreams. And...I'm not letting it have its way." ***
  71. [12:11:03 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...Very good! We'll try to keep a closer eye on any notably strong singular power, seeing as there's something so power you would say that it ends the world. As for how you'll be meeting other magical girls...would you prefer to be left to your own devices, or shall we try to arrange a meeting with other, partnerless magical girls?"
  72. [12:22:08 AM] J.H: "...We'll have to meet them, sooner or later." Makoto replied, nodding, and shaking off her nausea for the time being. "Who've you got in mind? I'd be interested...I-in meeting them."
  73. [12:23:54 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "It's hard to tell. I've only started today's recruitment, and I must say, it's off to quite a colorful start~"
  74. [12:28:54 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...If you're interested, come to the town square at 4 PM, tomorrow. A youma did something there once, which tends to keep everyone out of there at that time of day."
  75. [12:29:04 AM] J.H: ((:3c))
  76. [12:30:27 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: ((Is Kaosukage here? or do I get to be a girl that'll be contracted in 4 paragraphs?))
  77. [12:31:00 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Until then~" It hops off the bed, and then proceeds to hop out. You lose sight of it before it even hops out the window, as if it faded from reality...well, save the gear on its head, but such a detail might be easily missed!
  78. [12:31:06 AM] Boxy Fox: (She's on, though playing Dissidia.)
  79. [12:31:22 AM] Kaosukage: (Hello.)
  80. [12:31:43 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (Are you ready to become meguca?)
  81. [12:31:56 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: (Kaosukage you go first, since YOu'll fall asleep before I do)
  82. [12:32:06 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: (It should be pretty quick considering how insane Mankanshoku is)
  83. [12:37:11 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: (Poke)
  84. [12:37:21 AM] Kaosukage: (Huh? Okay.)
  85. [12:37:24 AM] Kaosukage: (What's going on?
  86. [12:37:49 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (Meguca contracts. The Tsukaima is recruiting! You.)
  87. [12:37:58 AM] Kaosukage: (Ahhh. Yay)
  88. [12:38:06 AM | Edited 12:38:07 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (Are you prepared?)
  89. [12:41:04 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: (She's not)
  90. [12:41:08 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: (She's multitasking)
  91. [12:41:13 AM] Kaosukage: (I'm here.)
  92. [12:41:56 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (You're here, yes. But the question is if you're prepared?) (Multitasking leans in the direction of no, but nothing stops you from putting down the game~)
  93. [12:42:41 AM] Kaosukage: (Okay, I am here and prepared.)
  94. [12:43:14 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: Very well, then the next step can commence!
  95. [12:43:19 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: THE YEA--no
  96. [12:44:43 AM] Kaosukage: ???
  97. [12:46:47 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: Fate got a meguca! Good start to the day. Onward, the white furred, gear headed rabbit tsukaima goes, towards the next person of blossoming potential. It appears in front of the window of Mankanshoku's room, not expecting what was to come at all. From the top! "Excuse me? May I have a moment?" The voice rings in her head(?), as it can't through the closed window.
  98. [12:48:43 AM] Kaosukage: The girl spun around on a wheeled chair, smiling... while sitting upside down. "Sure!" She rights herself and scrambled ot the window, opening it.
  99. [12:51:35 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ...Really? Just a sure? That was...a readily given 'sure' there. Is this a weird one? It hops through the window, sitting on top of Mankanshoku's bed. "You seem unperplexed. It's as if you expected me!" Or maybe she's delusional, but it's not going to just imply this sort of thing. Gotta be sure she's not a legit psychopath a bit.
  100. [12:52:13 AM] Kaosukage: The girl stared at him for a moment. "Why's there a gear in your head?"
  101. [12:53:19 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: At first oblivious, then to the point. Huh. "The answer to both that and why I am talking in the first place...is magic."
  102. [12:55:33 AM] Kaosukage: Girl: So couldn't you look better?
  103. [12:55:43 AM] Kaosukage: (What's her name again?)
  104. [12:56:05 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (Y-you typed it earlier, didn't you?)
  105. [12:56:17 AM] Kaosukage: (I didn't, actually!)
  106. [12:56:41 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (...Then you might be talking about Fate's name, which you can't know because it hasn't told you)
  107. [12:56:52 AM] Kaosukage: (Oh.)
  108. [12:57:25 AM] Kaosukage: (Okay, got it.)
  109. [12:57:33 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Magic is a thing that this city has! You must have heard of bits and pieces of magical girls from other people, and possibly the things they've fought. Buildings destroyed without anyone caring, the very presence of magical girls being overlooked, even if such a thing makes no sense. You understand, right?"
  110. [12:58:20 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: And it IS true! You would think that you would be paying attention to the fact that MAGICAL GIRLS ACTUALLY EXIST FOR REAL, but somehow you've managed to overlook it completely.
  111. [12:58:32 AM] Kaosukage: Kitigawa: Of course I understand!
  112. [12:58:55 AM] Kaosukage: Kitigawa: I think one of your gears must be loose, silly bunny!
  113. [1:01:05 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ...Though it might not have stopped any unrelated delusions, which may have just progressed into a much more ready understanding. "T-the gear is part of me, like your nose is part of you. And my gear is firmly attached--er-hem...you seem very agreeable, so let me say this. There are many terrors in this city. Would you like to become a magical girl in order to fight them?"
  114. [1:01:37 AM] Kaosukage: Kitigawa: Okay! But one rule first!
  115. [1:02:19 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "S-sure?" It had no idea how things got to this point. Is she actually agreeing this easily? Is this happening?
  116. [1:02:41 AM] Kaosukage: Kitigawa: I want a gear in my head too! It'll help my thinking!
  117. [1:05:25 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ...This demand! This...unreasonable demand! Didn't she say it had a gear loose just earlier? But...no, this can work. "Sadly, while I have no ability to do so myself, if you collect 13 'Oblivion Seeds' from the terrors, called youma, such a thing could be easily arranged."
  118. [1:06:17 AM] Kaosukage: Kitigawa: Oh, you'd better hurry then!
  119. [1:08:14 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "I'll...hurry, once you collect the seeds. Please note that you must collect the seeds before attempting to get the gear in your head, and attempts to try that before may result in either a broken gear or a broken head. Are we good? Are you ready to become a magical girl?"
  120. [1:09:12 AM] Kaosukage: Kitigawa: Hold on, I have ot go to the bathroom! runs out
  121. [1:10:45 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...Do hurry." Fate waits. ...All and all, if it's a successful recruit, this is fine, right? Why does it seem so...so odd? ...It must be left over odd feelings from the first recruit. That must be it.
  122. [1:16:36 AM] Kaosukage: She comes back. "Ready!" A flushing sound is heard.
  123. [1:18:43 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ...In the middle of...ahh, well, this is fine. It's all fine. "Then, take a deep breath, close your eyes, and...relax~"
  124. [1:19:00 AM] Kaosukage: She does a dreamy smile on her face.
  125. [1:20:52 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: Let's say her eyes are closed too! The gear on the rabbit's head starts to glow, and even after her eyes are closed, it glows brighter still! Eventually, even with closed eyes, all she sees is white, her eyes simply unable to open...
  126. [1:22:50 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ...and at once, a feeling wells up inside her, and the white gives way to a familiar darkness, and control over her vision exists once again. Her senses regarding the magical girls that totally actually exist and whatnot feel quite sharp! "It is done, you can open your eyes. Ah, and before I forget, you can call me Fate."
  127. [1:23:17 AM] Kaosukage: Kitigawa: That's a nice name! she opens her eyes
  128. [1:25:38 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: She's lucky, and doesn't have to open her eyes to a horrorterror. Isn't life nice? "I should say that fighting the youma alone isn't a wise idea, and could get you killed. You'll likely want to find companions to help out. I recommend coming to the town square at...say, 4 PM tomorrow."
  129. [1:26:56 AM] Kaosukage: Kitigawa: Why does everything look the same?
  130. [1:27:43 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...Because you haven't seen the future, or something strange like that."
  131. [1:28:09 AM] Kaosukage: Kitigawa: I thought you was gonna do something cool to my eyes!
  132. [1:30:44 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "You might be able to do something cool with your eyes yourself, with your newfound power. Take the time to figure out what your magical powers are. I'll see you at 4 PM, tomorrow~" All and all, the deed is done. Sticking around too long when it has...things to do, that aren't this! The very idea! It hops out the window, and vanishes before even getting that far, save for that somewhat hard to see gear from this angle.
  133. [1:32:24 AM] Kaosukage: Kitagawa thought on that, and ran out of her room ,to see the cool things!
  134. [1:33:32 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (And that should be that, for now~)
  135. [1:33:38 AM] Kaosukage: (Kay!)
  136. [1:33:43 AM] Kaosukage: (Did I do alright?)
  137. [1:33:53 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: (You did in your own way!)
  138. [1:34:19 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (I think you did pretty well, Apathy is (completely unavoidably, I have to say) mourning in their own way :3c)
  139. [1:34:26 AM] Kaosukage: (Aww)
  140. [1:34:54 AM] Boxy Fox: (And I'm here for some reason!)
  141. [1:35:03 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (literally who)
  142. [1:35:54 AM] Naoshi: (ME. FRANK HORRIGAN. THATS WHO.)
  143. [1:37:07 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: (Miyu time!)
  144. [1:42:08 AM | Edited 1:42:19 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: Well, that was an experience. Still, two in a row? That's some luck. Or, was it fate? Fate? ...Pft. As it's been doing, the strange creature can be found through Miyu's window, calling out once more, with a voice that would resonate with the person's mind, as well as be heard audibly (at least, if the window weren't closed). "Excuse me? May I have a moment?"
  145. [1:45:01 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: The young girl quietly looked from her textbooks up to the strange animal just hovering outside the window. Looking outside and walking to the windowsill, she looked past the animal and onto the pavement below, and to the buildings on both sides. Seeing the strange... misplaced gear on it's head, she thought "It's probably just another kid with one of their new toys." Before she shut the window and drew the blinds to rid herself of any distractions!
  146. [1:50:22 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ...Another closer. It was about time the usual started up again. ...But, two in a row...it can't just stop here! At least go for three! As she closes the blinds, the rabbit fades mostly in and out of view, if only to signify that something unnatural was going on (or that kid's toys have gotten way too advanced and have developed cloaking technology as well as 'speak in your mind' technology). "I'm not a hallucination, or whatever else you might think I am. Unless you mean to say you're closing your blinds on a once in a lifetime opportunity?"
  147. [1:51:15 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: With an irritated puff, the young girl strode to the window, slamed the window open, and with a single hand grabbed the furry animal by the gear and dragged it inside, ignoring the warm squishy feeling she was feeling, before attempting to slam it onto the table with one hand while digging into her draws for a screwdriver.
  148. [1:55:12 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: Ah, she opened the door. ....Ah, she's grabbing it by a small protrusion on her head. ...Ah, it was slammed down. ...Well, after last time, really the fact that it's someone more normal shouldn't be a cause for concern. "Please try to be a bit more gent--oh. I am not a robot, and the mechanic gear on my head is actually organic, so don't prod at it with that screwdriver. I have sentience, that would hurt. I ask of you, what do you think about the unknown?"
  149. [1:56:44 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: Deciding to humor the robot thing while running her hands over the furry animal looking for a protrusion or any indication of a screw, Miyu thought "Well, it's the unknown, right? I wouldn't know what to think of something I don't actually know about. Not like this thing can actually hear me. Unless kids have access to mind reading technology." She gave a few experimental jabs at the joints of the bunny as she thought this.
  150. [2:02:54 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ...Quiet one, this. "...Your silence as you prod me is disconcerting. I might take it to mean you cannot speak, or that you choose not to. However, I can still give you something to think about."
  151. [2:04:02 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "There are things that skirt the edges of the known and the unknown. You may have heard of magical girls, and perhaps even something about the youma they fight. Take a moment to think about it, and wonder why you never did before."
  152. [2:04:16 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: Miyu flipped the rabbit onto it's belly as it was in the middle of talking!
  153. [2:04:56 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: It keeps talking, despite this! "The fogginess of your thoughts then, and the clearness of them now...does that mean anything to you?"
  154. [2:05:03 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "If it does, nod your head."
  155. [2:05:22 AM] Kaosukage: (Gotta sleep)
  156. [2:05:26 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (Night~)
  157. [2:06:00 AM | Edited 2:06:08 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: "What is this rabbit even talking about?" Miyu thought. "Maybe I should submerge this in water or something, since I can't find any screws." Miyu thought while nodding to herself in agreement, picking the rabbit up by the ears and making a beeline for the bathroom.
  158. [2:06:10 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: ((WHOOPS))
  159. [2:10:29 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ...Ah, rats. It seems to have humored her a bit too much. ...No, no, go for broke. "...So you don't want to think about it at all, even now. Your silence...quite disconcerting." ...But how to go for broke? ...Perhaps...perhaps if... "...What if I told you that if you would just listen to me for a moment, I could explain that there's a method to get your voice back?" Risky gamble. Gotta take it!
  160. [2:12:27 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: Miyu stopped in her tracks for a second, looking down at the rabbit with a silent gaze for a few seconds. Those eyes looked strangely real. Almost lifelike. Maybe she should have just poked this thing in the eye to find out if it was actually alive?
  161. [2:13:52 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: Walking back to her room, she rummaged through her draws once more (with the rabbit still held firmly in her left hand by the ears) looking for some biscuits. With a slightly wavering movement, Miyu slowly brought the food towards where the mouth apparently was, even though it hadn't moved in the slightest while it was apparently saying things.
  162. [2:14:08 AM | Edited 2:14:58 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: (Your turn, Shuku)
  163. [2:19:10 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: It was, at first, just resigning to its fate (probably). But, when the biscuit came, it moved its mouth (which you're not really sure if it was moving or not now, really) to eat it! "...This shall serve as a suitable apology." From the top then, straight to the part she seems to care about as soon as it can realistically get there. "If you've heard of magical girls now, they are most definitely real, alongside the youma they face. I am not sure how much it seems to matter to you based on your strange behavior, but you should know that they pose a danger to life as we know it."
  164. [2:20:58 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: Miyu nodded as she listened, before rummaging in her draw for a piece of string. She deftly tied it around the bunny's leg and to one of the legs of her table. This was the prospect of getting a voice! If it was a trick, should could just sautee it with some fried vegetables as it appeared to be clearly organic.... and if it was telling the truth... well... she couldn't just let it go now, could she?
  165. [2:24:18 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ...Today is weird. ...This is a good sign. Just roll with it. "...However, these threats to life as we know it hold an incredible object, the Oblivion Seed. Some hold one, others may hold more. If you gather 13 Oblivion Seeds in one place, a single wish can be granted. To restore your voice...such would be quite the easy feat indeed!"
  166. [2:26:10 AM | Edited 2:26:25 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: "I didn't have a voice in the first place." Miyu pouted, though she was still listening. Though with the animal tied to the table, she had her hands free, and was casually wrapping a ribbon around its head, because it looked cute. She tilted her head slightly at the 13 part. Seemed like too low a number to grant something that even modern doctors couldn't fix.
  167. [2:28:55 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: In the end, it seemed to mean the same to this enigmatic creature. "...13, yes. If you find the number low, you may note that youma aren't exactly pushovers. While there might be many of them, they're powerful, and grow even more powerful as the days past. Girls have taken to groups in order to combat the beasts. And that means they would have to agree on a wish...or share."
  168. [2:29:06 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "If you find it high...you have the right idea."
  169. [2:30:01 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: It regarded the ribbon with a strange expression. Did it think it was cute as well? It didn't let on.
  170. [2:31:46 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Of course, if you're not a magical girl, you won't be able to get an Oblivion Seed. Which makes me ask the question, are you willing to become a magical girl and fight our enemy in order to obtain your voice?"
  171. [2:34:09 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: After a while, Miyu quietly picked up a pen, and flipped to one of the empty pages in her book, before scrawling in neat words. "What do I have to do?" , before propping it up in front of the rabbit.
  172. [2:37:35 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ...Oh, so she is willing to communicate in more normal fashions. "All you have to do is explicitly agree to become a magical girl. Whether it be by a meaningful nod, or written agreement, so as long as it can be said that you agreed in full, I will be able to unlock the power deep inside you. And then, of course, you have to fight the youma to get the seeds in the first place, a trial in and of itself."
  173. [2:38:27 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: "And what benefit do you get out of this?" She continued to write. Miyu had decided to believe what this.... thing was talking about for time being. "Do you want a part of the wish too?"
  174. [2:42:39 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "The defeat of these youma...that is our concern. To avoid the death of everyone here...that is our concern as well. The defeat of enough of these youma to produce thirteen Oblivion Seeds, that in itself is a sort of payment enough, really. We were the ones that figured out such a feat was possible, after examining the things closely."
  175. [2:43:52 AM | Edited 2:45:20 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: The sound of pen against paper filled the room once more. "If I accept to become a magical girl, does that mean you'll become my pet?" Miyu wrote with some hesitation. She always wanted 'something" that would be there and take her for what she is.
  176. [2:44:09 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: (Wait that sounds too mature. Whoops 14 year olds)
  177. [2:44:15 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: (Let me rewrite that)
  178. [2:44:21 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (OK~)
  179. [2:44:32 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (>sounds)
  180. [2:44:35 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: (heeeeeeh)
  181. [2:48:12 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...Hm. In a sense, I suppose that would be what I would be, wouldn't it? Then, yes, I will~" This really is a strange day. But, this...this might be fine too.
  182. [2:54:32 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: "If I get a pet that understands me and a chance at getting a voice, then I will become a magical girl" Miyu wrote, not having any of the gaps that a person normally had when they uttered a statement with some hesitation.
  183. [2:56:40 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "As it is written, so it shall be. Now, take a deep breath, close your eyes, and try to relax."
  184. [2:57:57 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: Relaxing was really the last thing she could do at this stage. Reaching out for the rabbit and firmly grasping it with both hands, she pushed the animal against her chest and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. The slight tugging on the animal from the string assured Miyu that the rabbit was still there and that it was real.
  185. [3:06:13 AM | Edited 3:06:32 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: What might jolt the perception of reality would be the faint glowing the gear emitted as she closed her eyes. A glow that, while her eyes remained closed (even if she tried to open them!) got ever brighter. The glow, visible even through closed eyelids, got so bright that it was like looking into the sun with OPEN eyes. The sensation was so strong that it was almost as if she could not feel the rabbit for a moment...but reality asserted itself quite suddenly, and she had the ability to open her eyes as the light abruptly fainted, and she regained her sense of touch too, barely realizing it was gone for a split second. "It is done. Welcome aboard! ...Ah, where are my manners. My name is Fate. A pleasure to...be your pet and servant, I suppose!"
  186. [3:09:29 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: Miyu seemed to just take in in slowly, and the grip of her left hand loosened from the animal, as she came to terms with.... SOMETHING welling within her. She could suddenly feel the presence of... something... her mother downstairs, her father in front of the television... and this... thing in front of her. It's mind was far too complex to be compared to that of an ordinary animal, but she really didn't know what else to do. With some hesitation, she probed into the mind of the animal, starting with the words "Hello?"
  187. [3:16:34 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: Complex? An incredible amount of it is completely unintelligible, outright. You're not sure what it means. This thing is clearly not normal, that much could be said from the get-go, but now it's painfully obvious. "...Ah, I heard that, a hello to you too!. ...Ah, well, 'hearing' isn't the right word. It's more like my mind being moved about...I suppose you could say Fate has been kind to you, but I don't choose what happens!"
  188. [3:18:01 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: That said, the surface thoughts certainly seem to be clear as day.
  189. [3:18:52 AM | Edited 3:19:06 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: A question mark symbol appeared kind of forcefully in the animal's head. "If you could grant me the power to speak to minds... why didn't you just give me a voice... it'd be easier than... whatever I'm doing." Miyu said, her face really not changing to reflect her elation. Or rather. Lack of elation. Being a magical girl was fine, but this... kind of felt like the animal was teasing her. At the same time, her grip was still as firm as ever, yup.
  190. [3:22:33 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...This power was not my choice to grant, it was the power inside you all along. It trying to give you a faux voice of words was not an intentional thing on my part, I don't choose the powers. I sincerely apologize if your newfound power is rubbing you the wrong way, but I withhold responsibility for giving it, as it seems your written agreement was truly followed to the letter."
  191. [3:23:19 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Magic is a strange thing. Even I'm not completely sure how it works. My own powers feel like an enigma at times..."
  192. [3:25:00 AM | Edited 3:25:29 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: Miyu carefully inserted a rather thick metal rod (god knows where she found this one) through the gear in the animal's head. If anything, it felt like strange things happened when that gear spun so... better safe than sorry. "We're going to have a lengthy discussion into the specifics of this contract in the bath... and I hope you don't try to run away, Fate. I'm going to get as much information about these Oblivion Seeds out of you while I'm still awake." Miyu messaged, while rummaging through her closet with her free hand.
  193. [3:30:37 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...On one hand, this sort of thing is supposed to be done before a contract. On the other, communication was made easier from it, so I suppose that's just as well. ...I also have places to be, but...I suppose if you're asking questions, I can stay a while." It doesn't seem all that bothered! "If you try keeping me for too long, though, you'll find that my company is less forgiving and easily bothered by things like this, so don't forget the time!"
  194. [3:34:56 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: "Well, I'm going to give you a nice clean, while we're at it. You don't seem to actually be using your mouth so I assume you can't talk while I'm pouring a bucket of warm soapy water over your head." Miyu messaged. There were heart symbols appearing all over the place suddenly, and random bubbles were popping inside the tsukiama's head. Maybe Miyu was more happy to have someone over than she let on?
  195. [3:40:34 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: While its voice could be heard both in the mind and in the physical realm, it still expresses interest in the fact anyway. "...Perhaps? You could always try!" ...Is that happiness? Being expressed in a direct thought feed? Interesting, interesting~
  196. [3:42:34 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: Miyu got down to business in the bathroom, filling the bath and whatnot and doing all the usual details. After submerging herself in the bath she held the animal's head above the water, making sure the gear itself didn't get wet, before pulling the rod out from it. "So, how many oblvion seeds are there?"
  197. [3:47:44 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "As much as the youma are prepared to drop. With youma numbers on the rise, the number of available youma rises as well."
  198. [3:48:21 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: The animal will suddenly find it's head flooded with ? symbols, as Miyu interrupted
  199. [3:48:32 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: Its voice seems slightly less tangible in your head. You're unsure of whether it's because your mind is being felt out quite so thoroughly by yourself or if it's the bath.
  200. [3:48:44 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: "So why is it set at 13 seeds if there's so many of them?"
  201. [3:53:19 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Your curiousness shakes my very being. ...Dangerously close to literally! That said, we didn't pick the number 13 arbitrarily. The seeds have power, the power fuels the wish, it takes 13 to make it happen. While there are many wishes that could be made, not much girls have managed to get their wishes granted, and most of even those aren't too noticeable to other people."
  202. [3:54:36 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "The youma like to absorb the Oblivion Seeds of the fallen, and so...the number can decrease, as well as increase."
  203. [3:54:51 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: "What happens to magical girls after their wish is granted?" Miyu asked finally, adding more than a few flashing exclaimation marks to the message for emphasis. "They don't just stop being magical girls... do they?"
  204. [3:55:54 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Ah, there's a question I've not heard in a while. Rest assured, your magical ability will be intact. It wouldn't do you any good if you just lost your magical awareness of the youma, after all."
  205. [3:57:13 AM | Edited 3:57:20 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: "How many magical girls have had more than one wish granted?" Miyu asked. In Bold font. With lots of asterisks.
  206. [4:01:55 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...There's one I've not heard asked at all. Let me think..." It seems to do this! "...There was exactly one. The first traitor. We had no idea how to handle her, and the other magical girls were surprised there was someone so...different. She was recruited early, while the youma were weak, and kept the Oblivion Seeds before we fully realized what they were capable of. She became fixated on them, and now it's not hard to see why."
  207. [4:02:25 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Her wish was strange, though. She wanted to forget many, many things."
  208. [4:03:37 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...Her second run was a lot cleaner, thankfully. Of course, it fell apart when she wished to remember everything."
  209. [4:04:13 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...Recruitment went on hold for a while, as we all studied humans for a bit longer. We clearly didn't know what we were getting into. We're smarter for it, though."
  210. [4:07:14 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: "How's the bath?" Miyu finally asked. There were strange symbols that looked vaguely like faces. Vaguely. Unless the animal was versed in text speak, it wouldn't recognise it. If it did, they looked like concern!
  211. [4:11:04 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "The idea of floating about in water and using this soap in order to get clean...normally, we clean ourselves through natural processes, but this is a much more comfortable way to go about it. I could fall asleep like this...but then I'd have the others on our case, which I'd rather not."
  212. [4:12:10 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: "Well up we go! Can't have my pet get in trouble! Where do I meet you tomorrow for this whole hunting youma business?" Miyu asked while blowdrying Fate dry, musical notes just dancing around in Fate's head.
  213. [4:14:16 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "You can meet me at the town square at 4 PM." It seems to enjoy the hot wind of the blow drier, not too concerned with how hot it actually is! "It's a place normal people usually tread, but everyone clears out around 4 PM. The effects of youma can leave strange marks on the thoughts of normal folk, even on a place...but magical ones ignore it!"
  214. [4:15:01 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: "And what do you propose I say to my parents when I get home late?" Miyu sent while rubbing Fate with a large fluffy towel.
  215. [4:20:52 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "...I am unsure as to whether that's a joke or not, but...hm...you could always tell her you went out with friends?" It really doesn't seem sure about that. "Others don't seem to mind as much, and engage in magical activities in their proximity, which seems to let the youma's mind tricks work strange magic on them. Really, it depends on how much you like them. I've met many that hate themselves, much less parent issues. It's strange."
  216. [4:22:52 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: With the animal dry (and it's fur going all over the place due to static electricity) Miyu got dressed and brought the animal back to her windowsill. "Don't we get an initiation booklet or something on how to become a magical girl or are we supposed to just .... do it somehow without any forethought." Now that she thought about it, where /did/ those funny costumes come from?
  217. [4:27:40 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: "Magic is a thing you feel, as opposed to explain. You could even say the magic feels you, since your powers tend to relate to who you are. The more you try to explain it, the more times you'll be at a loss for words." The most fluffy rabbit. All that hair rising. Hare rising.
  218. [4:30:36 AM] Apathetic Forest Fairy: Miyu quietly stuffs a small bag with some of the biscuits she fed the rabbit earlier and ties it to the ribbon which she had also tied on earlier, and then hung it from the rabbit's neck. "Well, you have work to do so see you tomorrow, Fate!" There was an emoticon of a cabbage for some reason. Maybe Miyu was thinking of what she'd feed it tomorrow.
  219. [4:35:20 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: ...A faced cabbage? What sort of strange things has it not experienced? ...Huh, this is the first time a recruit got chummy with it to this degree. Perhaps it should be more cautious...on the other hand, three recruits in a row. That's a record! And they were all weirdos! In a good way. ...Well, two of them in a good way. The one in the middle was an...experience. "Indeed, I'll be seeing you then. Take care!" It left through the first opened area it could find, likely the window!
  220. [4:37:49 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: And so in the year 20XX, several magical girls dared an impossible dream...to main Marth, in order to halt the progression of the Foxpocalypse. ...Or no, this definitely isn't that.
  221. [4:38:29 AM] Mysterious Genshuku Tornado Dolls: The fourth wall returns! I can GO TO BED JESUS CHRIST IT'S 4:38 AM GOOD NIGHT
