Prompts

Arrival: So you've just arrived in Nyoi-Cho. Congratulations! You must be so excited about having your wish granted. Or maybe you're upset that the result wasn't quite what you expected? If that's the case, then that's too bad! There are no take backs and no redoes, so you're stuck with what you have! Maybe you should have been more careful about how you worded that wish...

Oh well. There's no use in dwelling on it. You're a magi now, and that means adjusting to a whole new lifestyle! Maybe one of the townspeople can help you out.

Only... they're acting a bit strangely, aren't they? They're all too happy to show you around, but there's something unsettling about the way they're behaving. Almost cheerfully dissonant. Any questions about the history of the town are met with blank stares and brief silence, before they plaster a smile onto their faces and change the subject. Any attempts to tell them about your duties as a magi or anything else that relates to the magical will get similar reactions.

Isn't there anyone normal here that you can talk to at all?

Home Improvement: The houses that the magi are given access to really are something, aren't they? There's almost no limit to what they can do! Why don't you create the house of your dreams, or maybe recreate and relive your favorite childhood scenes? Invite some spectators over to marvel!

A Corrupted Soul Gem: You neglected to take care of your soul gem, and now you don't feel quite yourself anymore. You feel like you're losing your sense of self - all you seem to be able to focus on is your old regrets and past failures. What's happening to you?

A Successful Mission: Congratulations! You met up with your first Witch, and you fought valiantly. For your efforts, you've been awarded a grief seed - and with it, access to a brand new power! What sort of power did you get? Is it a useful one, or is it not so useful? Maybe you've mastered it beautifully, and now you're showing off to all of your friends. Maybe you're having a hard time keeping it under wraps, and now you're wreaking havoc across the town without meaning to!

A Dreadful Nightmare: You had an absolutely horrid day. As you drift off to sleep, your mind dwells on all the injustices you've had to endure. In response, your bed swallows you up, and your room shifts into a horrific Nightmarescape. What sort of Nightmare are you? What kind of Nightmarescape do you create? Hopefully your fellow magi can stop you before you cause too much damage!

Wildcard: Feel free to use any information from the FAQ or the World Info page to make your own prompt!

[ Well, that confirms it. Homura finds it hard to swallow even though it was clear; her fists clench. ]

I am. I've been doing something like this for a long time, actually. So let's stick together. I'll keep you safe. I promise.

A long time...?
cyclicalconcept: (you are awesome...)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2015-12-13 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
...You haven't been all alone, have you?

[She goes to take those clenched fists. If she had any understanding of that "long time", it was buried beneath a panopy of other memories - ones that might or might not be true.]

Homura, you don't have to be alone now, here! I'm here, and mama's here, and Sayaka, too. We can help each other, now!

[ Something about the way she starts off gives Homura a vivid pang of anxiety, but the moment passes in a blink of her starry eyes.

Homura relaxes her fists. Madoka is so painfully sweet. She always is. It hurts somehow to be told that. Probably because even if she wants to, Homura doesn't believe it'll ever be really true. Madoka has no idea what she did to her and the world, no one does. And the feeling of isolation that brings is so acidic.

Homura pointedly focuses on replying to the part that is easiest. It might be obvious Madoka surprised her. ]


They're here too? ... and I assume they're magi as well.
cyclicalconcept: (I think this is awesome)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2015-12-13 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they are! Its kind of amazing, isn't it?

[She smiles.]

When I woke up here, I never expected to see anyone again. But now, knowing some of us from Mitakihara are also here, its not so bad.

unbraid: surprise (hello it's me)

[personal profile] unbraid 2015-12-13 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ She asked about that. She wouldn't consider it if the answer had been no. She's here, so clearly it was a yes.

Even though Madoka is smiling at her, Homura does not return it. Her voice is hesitant. This is too familiar. ]


There was a wish you wanted granted badly enough to risk not seeing your family again?
cyclicalconcept: (what is awesome?)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2015-12-13 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She blinks, at the question.]

Well...once I learned what was happening here, it would have been wrong for me to simply ignore it. I...

[How does she even explain it?]

...I want to do the right thing. And...I know my papa and Tatsuya...they'll be scared. But I-I'm sure I can find a way to contact them. If mama ended up here, anything's possible, isn't it?
unbraid: (incubate those eggs)

[personal profile] unbraid 2015-12-13 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
What if you can't?

[ Homura doesn't mean to sound cold, but-- ]

You have to be prepared for whatever might happen. That means knowing you might not see them again. You were foolish to run in like this when there are people better equipped to help.

[ But she's glad to see her, even so. It's hard and Homura feels out of her element knowing she can't reverse it, but this place is supposed to be different than back home. She looks away. ]

What did you wish for, Madoka Kaname?
cyclicalconcept: (my awesomeness levels are rising)

[1/2]

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2015-12-14 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Foolish...?

[She stares at Homura, a look of confusion and hurt. Was she really...

yet something in her mind begged to differ.]


Homura...I don't know if its me just being foolish. I know I can't take back my wish. But even so...I'll still do what I can to help everyone. And if there's a way to go home, or even just to let everyone know we're ok, I'll find a way, somehow.

[She brings her hands together.]

Somehow, I don't believe it's wrong to hope. In fact, I feel like I'm here to give people hope. Even...even you.

...I can't explain it. Why I feel that way, right here, right at this moment. But I feel like that's the truth, that it was meant to be. And if that's why I'm here...

[Her own fists clench.]

...then that's what I'm best equipped to do, isn't it?

cyclicalconcept: (this is just awkwardly awesome)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2015-12-14 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
.....a-and...well, my wish...I mean, it's a little embarrassing! I don't think I'm ready to say. Not even mama knows what I wished for, Homura!
unbraid: (hurt)

[personal profile] unbraid 2015-12-14 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ Homura looks back, terror worn openly the longer Madoka talks. There's no way, right? This place wouldn't let her change back. It feels like a cold wind has blown through Homura's body, her blood pooling cold, and then--

-- As quickly as that came over Madoka, it's gone. The expression on her face falls troubled, and her voice strained.

She doesn't like this. ]


... You don't have to tell me. It was important to you, whatever it was.

I just want you to be safe, Madoka. So-- with Sayaka and your mother, if you want-- let's look out for one another.

[ It's such an overwhelming thing to say to someone who has only known her for a month and some change, but she doesn't think about about coming off creepy. ]
cyclicalconcept: (what is awesome?)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2015-12-14 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Naturally, Madoka herself doesn't realize anything particularly amiss with her speaking the way she is. Its how she feels, even if its something she can't fully explain. Maybe one day, she'll be able to understand it better.]

Of course, I'll look out for everyone I can! That includes you, too! But...

[Dear goodness, Homura, your face is pale and you look like you've seen God and God tried to eat you.]

...are you all right?

unbraid: (apologetic)

[personal profile] unbraid 2015-12-14 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ That might as well have been what happened. She nods her head. ]

Mmm. I'll be fine. Maybe the excitement tired me out. I haven't been able to take my heart medicine yet today, either. I'm sure I can find some easily enough.
cyclicalconcept: (is it 100 billion hot dogs awesome!?)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2015-12-14 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Heart...oh no, Homura! I didn't even know you were sick!

[The downside of being the transfer student this time around Now Madoka is looking left and right, worriedly.]

And Kyuubey didn't let you bring any with you? Ah, is there a doctor capable of prescribing what you need...!?

unbraid: (painfully genuine)

[personal profile] unbraid 2015-12-15 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ It was such a boldfaced lie to pass it off as her heart acting up and she feels bad about making Madoka worry, but--

-- Well, it's not like it's totally untrue either. ]


I wasn't allowed to take anything with me but my clothes. It's the same for you, isn't it? But I'm sure there's a doctor somewhere... it seems like something the locals could help with.

You don't need to worry about me.
cyclicalconcept: (what is awesome?)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2015-12-15 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[But...but...]

But we're supposed to look out for each other, right?
unbraid: (apologetic)

[personal profile] unbraid 2015-12-15 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Uhh. Well, she kind of did say that. Even if it was just euphemistic for "let me take care of everything", she can't really complain about Madoka taking it literally. ]

I... Yes, we are. Sorry. I just feel guilty making you fuss.
cyclicalconcept: (Default)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2015-12-16 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no! Don't be! We can look out for one another, now.
