The 46th Post!
[The 5th continuation of the Rin, Len, Miku, Nagisa and the Madoka girls thread, including Path 1, Path 2, and Path 3! (Path 3 has been branched off Path 1)]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
( madoka sniffled) thanks papa.." ( she smiled) " i think, i want to thank that young man. Maybe we can invite him for dinner?"
" i dont see why not madoka. That is, if you can find him, i suppose."
" im sure we will." Madoks sipped her cocoa, shrugging
( mami went to make the tea and brought it back to kyouko) " here you are..,"
" thanks. " (kyouko smacked her lips snd dined on the tea and cakes)
"...do you think, there is any way to turn the witches back?
Re: The continuation of Path 1
[And then, all of a sudden, there was somebody knocking on the door!]
...Tomohisa! Tomohisa, open the door, please, something happened at the concert Madoka and her friends were supposed to go to, and -
[And then, Madoka's mother came careening through the door as her father opened it.]
- Oh, you're all right, Madoka - Thank goodness!
[Madoka stared at her mother for a moment, and then went up to her and gave her a hug.]
...Oh, Mom.
[And then, she looked at her quizzically.]
- But Mom - Didn't Dad text you or something?
[Junko sighed, and rubbed at her head.]
...That would have worked if my phone wasn't stuck in a hole someplace now, ugh...
[Mami's apartment]
[Mami looked at Kyoko, and sighed a bit.]
...I don't really think that is possible, Kyoko. I mean, you can't turn a baby bird back into an egg, as a rule of thumb.
[And then, she patted Bebe with a sad smile, and gave her a hug.]
- Bebe and the little ones aren't going around causing people grief, though, and they aren't unhappy, either, I don't think.
...So that's better then the alternative, right?
Re: The continuation of Path 1
M
(
( kyouko sighed and muchef into her cake) " yeah... Youre right.,,"
" yes..." ( mami handed a cup of tea to bebe) " i hope, we wont end ip that esy, when wevbecome witches..."
" you mean if we become witches
Re: The continuation of Path 1
[And then, Homura took a deep breath.]
...Ahem! Ma'am, I'm called Akemi Homura, by the way, and thank you for letting me come here?
[Mami's apartment]
[Mami sighed again, still petting Bebe.]
...I...don't think we can avoid turning into Witches sooner or later. I mean, we can always die first, I suppose, but...
[And then, she wiped at her face, grimancing.]
- I'm not a very suicidal person as a general rule, Kyoko, though some people may disagree with that assesement.
[And then, she smiled a bit.]
...Maybe we should seriously consider retiring, and going to go live inside Sayaka-san's world, eh?
[Mami looked at the little Witches looking up at her, and smiled a bit more happily, then.]
- But not right now, I don't think. I think - I think we should make a list, actually.
[Kyoko looked at her.]
...A list?
[Mami grinned.]
- Yes, a list of the stuff we want to do, while we're still, you know, really us. You know, I always really wanted to go to that gigantic amusement park in Urayasu...
Re: The continuation of Path 1
"Ah, a pleasure." [Homura blushed]
"Well you just take good care of my daughter, you hear?" [Junko winked. Homura lost her composure for a moment and groaned]
"Mama!" [Madoka blushed as well.]
[Kyouko chuckled at that] "yeah, that does sound pretty good. Yeah, good ideas. I should give it a thought." [Kuouko chuckled wryly and put her feetn up upon the table] "Hm. That's out by the countryside. huh?"
"I believe so, in the Dokiro provence."
"Dokiro provence huh? I got some business there."
Re: The continuation of Path 1
...You do?
[Mami said with a grin. Kyoko grinned back at her, feeling better already about this entire mess.]
- That's where my horse is! ...Wait, I did tell you about my horse, right?
[Kyoko took out a piece of paper, then, and started to write everything down.]
...The big amusement park in Urayasu. M'horse. Since we're doing a "things we wanna do" list, I suppose we should just write everything that comes to mind, right? We can figure out if it's actually doable later...
[Kyoko looked at the paper, then.]
- I wanna make sure my family's grave is OK. Hmm, wait, maybe I should go visit my other relatives while I'm about that? I also want to go to Hakone and see the sites, and visit one of those hot springs it's famous for...
[Mami sighed, then.]
...You've got a good point about family graves - I'd better see that things are arranged properly and everything. And yes, I better go talk to some of my other relatives, I suppose...
[Mami sighed again, then, thinking of some of her other relatives. Some of them were quite OK, but...]
[Madoka's house]
[Homura grinned, then, and gave Junko a small salute.]
- I'll try my best, Ma'am!
[Madoka stared at her for a moment, getting even redder.]
...Homura-chaaaan! Oh, come onnnn...
Re: The continuation of Path 1
"Of course." [Mami started to clean up the china ware] "You rememeber where the bathroom is?"
"Course I do."
"I shall provide you with a change of clothes." [It should fit decently enough, even though some where too large in the chest area.
their conversation were interrupted by their soul gems bblinking, sensing the presence of a nearby witch]
"Oh. A witch..."
"huh." [Kyouko frowned] "What should we do?"
"Well, we can not let it go about and hurt anyone. we should go after it." [Mam iput the dishes back and got ready to go out.
Bebe chirped excitedly and hopped onto Mami's shoulder] "A sister! A sister!"
[The magical girls and sweets witch headed out. Before long they found the barrier, a child's palyroom made from a drawing. There was the sound of a girl crying. they found familiars, cartoonish grils made form crayon drawings, bouncing a large ball, which upon closer look was a girl whose body was swollen up into a ball. Mami recognized her as a classmate] "Ah! Haruhi san!"
Re: The continuation of Path 1
[Haruhi whined as she flailed about, looking a bit like a ball with arms and legs.]
[The Witch in the Barrier, in the meanwhile, seemed to be a bit sad and moopy.]
<...Where are my Onee-chans? I miss them so much, but it's been ages and ages since they came over to play with me! >
[Bebe laughed at that, and clapped her hands.]
< - Ohhh! You have a Big Sis too? >
[Mami and Kyoko looked at each other, sweatdropping. Were Bebe and the new Witch actually...talking with each other???]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
"Aw! " [Bebe toddled over and hugged the crayon scribbling witch] "I'm sure your oneechan will come back soon!"
[Mami blinked as she overheard their words. strange, she could understand more and more now. Hm, an art witch made of stone ? Ah yes, she remembered battling that one. She was not too much of a challenge, especially after Mami critiqued her 'original' artwork... Did she still have her grief seed?
Re: The continuation of Path 1
- Aha!
[She said with a smile as she found the right one, and held it up to the light.]
< ...Hah? >
[The Witch said, and sniffed at the air.]
< Ohhh! I smell the smell of Onee-chan Number One! >
...No dear, she's not quite ready to play with you yet - But just wait a couple of minuntes, OK?
[Mami said, and then, she got the Music Box Thing out of her other bag, and stuck the Grief Seed into it. OK, it was time to see if that worked...]
[And soon enough, a new Mini Witch popped up next to the Music Box Thing, looking around her curiously.]
< ...What is this? What is this? >
[And then, she spun around, looking very much like a spinning rock for a moment.]
< - Ohhhh - Albertine! >
Re: The continuation of Path 1
" albertine. Hello" ( the artist witch smiled and hugged her with her stony arms)
( albertine pouted then and folded her arms) " where have you been! Its been ages! I missed you!"
" im sorry little one."( izabel sighed) " i have been asleep"
" bah! Nap time!"( the child stuck out her tongue) " anyway i am glad you are back! Play with me now! There are new playmates here and a fun new ball!"
(Kyouko blinked, watching the situation)" so... What do we do about this mami?"
" i am glad those sisters have been reunited..."( mami murmured, stroking haruhis puffy face to comfort her. She had the sudden image of how nice it would be to bring this miserable figure here home and feed her and make her feel good..."
Re: The continuation of Path 1
...Hey, you! Since we got your Big Sis back, I'll think it'll be fair if you turned our friend here back to normal too, don't you think?
[And then, she sneered at the Witch, trying to make herself sound and look like she meant what she was going to say next.]
- Otherwise, I'll - I'll take your Oneechan away again, and she'll never be able to play with her again!
[And then she giggled, in spite of herself.]
...And then, we'll all have the most fun tea parties for ever and ever, but not you. You'll never get to taste the cakes, or drink the tea, or just talk with us about things that are fun, ha ha ha -
[And then, Mami pointed a dramatic finger at Haruhi.]
- So you change her back right now soonest! All right!?
Re: The continuation of Path 1
" you heard me, young lady." ( mami scolded(
" you cant tell me whT to do, new big sister! This is my world!"
" however if yoi cooperate and be a good girl, you can join the tea party as well! The more the merrier!"
(Kyouko blinked, realizing that mami was now speaking the witch language herself) " ok, enough standing around here!" ( kyiuko launched her chain link spear at albertine. It managed to ensanre her and cut her cheek
Albertine sniffled ) " that hurts! You meanie!" (She burst into tears, her cries extremely lound and reverberating the room. Kyouko yelled and grabbed her ears from the piercing noise, unable to stand it)
Re: The continuation of Path 1
[And that was when Bebe poked at Mami. She then pointed at the Witch, and then at the Music Box Thing.]
...What? Oh, Bebe-chan, I do see what you mean, I think, but - I've never put a whole entire Witch inside that thing before!
[Mami sighed, and patted Bebe on the head.]
- I don't think she'll fit inside there at all, OK?
[Bebe nodded at that, and then she looked at the other Mini Witches. They squeaked among themselves for a couple of seconds - And then, Bebe pointed at Mami again, motioning her out of the way.]
[Mami tilted her head, puzzled, and then grabbed Haruhi and rolled her out of the way, too. She wasn't going to take chances with her poor schoolmate's life, after all...]
[And then, the Mini Witches posed and attacked - ]
[- Aand Mami's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets as the Witch was suddenly cut into three pieces, and a large chunk of what seemed to be her heart came flying her way!]
...Whaaat!?!?
[Mami gingerly picked up the heart, and looked at it. The Witch Barrier was coming down as they watched, but it seemed to take a very long time, about five times as much as usual, Mami noted faintly. And the meaty parts of the heart were fading away too, leaving a Grief Seed in it's wake...]
Re: The continuation of Path 1 2/2
- Oohhhh - So they're not all that cute and harmless after all, eh?
[Mami, in the meanwhile, was slowly swearing at herself inwardly, trying to remember exactly what Eight and Seven had told her when they gave her the Music Box Thing. Had they been planning to - What was that word, weaponize the little ones from the very beginning? Cripes!]
[And then, she sighed, and made herself smile. Well, this did make some things much easier, she did have to admit.]
...They're Witches, Kyoko, and Witches are never harmless.
[And then, she snickered, and smiled at the Mini Witches.]
- Even if they are still as cute as buttons.
[The Mini Witches clapped their hands and smiled back at Mami, then. Mami sighed again, and then turned toward Kyoko.]
...OK, then, I think we should at least try to clean off our Soul Gems before I put the Grief Seed in the Music Box Thing, I think...
[Mami said, and then held out the Grief Seed as the last of the meat melted off it. Kyoko nodded, and cleaned off her Soul Gem throughly, and then handed it back to Mami. Mami nodded too, and then rolled the Grief Seed against her Soul Gem, trying to get each and every scrap of the dark energies.]
[She then looked at it, and wrinkled her nose.]
...This still could be used at least once or twice, I suppose...Hmmm. Maybe we should get Sayaka-san to clean off hers, too. It's not good to waste a Grief Seed, after all...
Re: The continuation of Path 1 2/2
[Mami nodded and explained the whole story, from Hachibei's arrival and preseting her with the music box, to when she first put Bebe in there]
[Kyouko raised an eyebrow] "Ok, so mmaybe it helps that we got tamed witches on our side and all. but ya sure we can trust that Hachibei thing? For all we know he could be a schemining lying demon like Kyubey!"
[Mami sighed] "Well, I feel I can trust him..."
"Like you did with Kyubey?"
Re: The continuation of Path 1
- Well, you may have a point there, but just telling Hachibei to go away and not come back isn't going to make anything better for any of us, either, I don't think.
[And then, she patted the Music Box Thing and the Mini Witches, one by one.]
- He did give me this thing, which proved to be quite useful. And I think he also has lots of valuable information that we could use, too, I think...
[Kyoko shrugged, then.]
- Well, alrighty, then. I don't feel like trusting any version of a Kyubey, to be honest, but they can be useful, I gotta admit.
[And then, she grinned.]
...Say, why don't we go find Sayaka, and maybe that Akemi girl to if she happens to be hanging around, and let them use the Grief Seed? And then, we can put it in that thing, and - Hmmm...
[Kyoko thought about this, then.]
- And just maybe, you could try and introduce me to this "Hachibei" critter once we get home, if he's still hanging around. What do you think, Mami?
Re: The continuation of Path 1
[Kyouko just shrugged and took out some pockie and munched on it. Bebe giggled and hopped onto Mami's back playfully. So. Tamed witches like this. Weird...]
"Well. Let's go find Sayaka now."
Re: The continuation of Path 1
[Haruhi groaned, then, and then woke up. She tried to get up, her eyes wide.]
- Nooo, I don't wanna be a ball, and I don't wanna play with you!
[And then, she looked around her, her eyes wide.]
.......Um. What? Tomoe-san???
[Mami quickly hid Bebe behind a nearby tree, and gestured at the other Mini-Witches to hid.]
- Haruhi-san! I just came here, and you were out like a light on the ground...
[Haruhis shook her head, then.]
........Oh. I fainted, then? I do feel awfully woozy, now that I think of it......
[Mami nodded.]
- Don't worry, Haruhi-san, I'll take you home now, OK?
[And then she did so, Kyoko and the Mini-Witches trailing behind them. Thank goodness Haruhi-san's house and Sayaka-san's house were both near by, she thought.]
[She explained that she'd found Haruhi in a faint to Haruhi's mother, and helped Haruhi into the house. And then, they started toward Sayaka's house.]
[Sayaka was outside the house, waiting for them.]
- I could sort of smell all the little ones coming, ho ho ho - So what's up?
[The Mini Witches cheered at her, waving. Sayaka waved back, and then, turned toward Mami and Kyoko. Mami held out the Grief Seed with a smile.]
...We thought you just might like to use it before I put it in the Music Box Thing, you see!
[And then, she sighed a bit. She really should explain to Sayaka-san what the Mini-Witches had done, she felt, but it would be nice if they had a bit of privacy for that kind of thing...]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
"It doesn't make a difference" [Kyouko sighed] "Look, youn know you still got a lot to go on for. friends, family, that date with prissy violin boy," [there was a slight edge of unhappiness aat the last part] "you you cna'tt enjoy it iif your gem is laden with darkness. Besides, now we know how to make the witches feel better."
"yeah, that's true..." [Sayaka tried a smiel and accepted the grief seed]
[Mami was about to acept the seed back when her phone rang] "One moment." [She stepped away and answered it.] "Ah, Satoro-san?" [It was her family lawyer]
"Mami san. Good afternoon" [he sounded grave] "Listen, we need to meet as soon as possible. something important came up..."
"Oh?" [she blinked] "when should I come?"
"Perhaps in an hour, in my office."
"All riggt. I shall see you then." [she hung up and went back to the others] "My apologies, but there is an appointment I must attend to. Could I trouble you to take care of the little ones for me?" [she gave the music box to Kyouko]
"no problem, Mami!"
[Later Mami was at the lawyer's office. She trusted her lawyer, he helped arrange things for life on her own after her parents death. To her surprise, she saw a couple of her parents business associates, even possible rivals, there as well. ]
"Ah, Tomoe san. please have a seat]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
...Ahh, Mami-san...It's about your Uncle and Aunt, you see...
[Mami made a face.]
- Are they making trouble again? I'm not going to give them even more of my parent's money, Mitsurugi-san - They got a big enough chunk of it when my parents passed away! Where'd all that money go, anyway?
[The lawyer sighed.]
...Oh, I do understand how you feel, but they've been apparently trying to get legal guardianship of you again, and...
[Mami stared at him.]
...My legal guardian is still my Grand Aunt Miyoko, correct?
[The lawyer nodded, his head bobbing.]
- Oh, yes, yes, but - Tomoe Miyoko-san is a very old lady in her 80s now, you see, and though her mind is still quite sound, from what I gathered the last time we talked...
[And then, he wiped his brow again.]
...Ahem. Mami-san - It might be worth trying to give your Uncle and Aunt at least some of the money they keep saying they need, I think?
[Mami sighed, then.]
- It might be worth trying to pay them off if it'll stop them from causing us trouble, you mean?
...That would be the gist of it, yes.
[Mami nodded, then, and asked her lawyer to set up an appointment with her uncle and aunt. So how much money was this going to cost her now, anyway?]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
"hey welcome back Mami" Sayaka said waving "Where did you go?"
"An appointment with my lawyer. " Mami picked up Bebe for a hug
"What about?"
"Just some family and finance issues. I'm sorry Kyouko, I can't join you ffor the trip tomorrow. I have a meeting with my lawyer again and some relatives."
[kyouko raised an eyebrow, munchuing on some crackers] "I thought you didn't have any family left?"
"Well, not,close family , per say." Mami looked down, patted Bebe's pink curls , "They're a couple times removed. " My great out, and third uncle and aunt, and my third cousins. " [Mako and Rukia. They were about Mami's age. Mami wanted to be friends with them and enjoyed their company. Even if they were rather unpleasant girls admittedly and up their high horse and often made fun of Mami...]
"Oh really? And why are they showing their faces up now huh?"
"Just, family business..."
"Mami,"
"I'll be fine." She smiled and put the witches back into the back, keeping Bebe in her arms "Come on dearies, it's time to go home."
Re: The continuation of Path 1
...Oh, Mami-chan!
[Her Aunt Rinako said, a smile as fake as Kyubey's normal one pasted on her face.]
- It's so good to see you, my dear...
[Mami looked at her Rinako's fur coat, and sighed. She usually wouldn't give a damn what her relatives wore or didn't wear, but that fur coat looked like it was real fur, and also like it was brand new.]
...Hello, Aunt Rinako, Uncle Seijirou, Makoto, Rukia...
[The main problem with these particualar relatives was, she thought with a sigh, they couldn't manage their budgets if their life depended on it.]
- So I hear you've been having some problems with Mako-chan and Rukia-chan's school fees and whatnot?
[Mami said lightly, and then served everybody some tea and cakes. She waited until her relatives had all taken a bit of the cakes, and then dropped the bombshell.]
...You know, Aunt Rinako, Uncle Seijirou - It would be so much easier if Mako-chan and Rukia-chan could transfer to another school, don't you think? Financially, I mean.
[And then, she turned to her cousins, who were looking at her with utterly horrified looks in her eyes.]
- I know Akitsu Gakuen is supposed to be a very good school, and I must admit I did want to go there when I was younger, since my mother and father did meet at Akitsu University and all, but - To put things frankly, it's a school for really, really rich people, especially nowadays, and considering the financial situation of our branch of the family is in now...
[Makoto and Rukia looked at each other in horror, then.]
...Nooo! Mama, Papa, I don't want to have to quit - Our family's always gone there!
[Rukia, in the meanwhile, had turned on Mami, angrily.]
- How dare you! Just because you decided to hide yourself away in some stupid school for commonors -
[Mami stared at her cousin, then. What?]
...We're all commonors here, now, the last time I checked. And most of our ancesters were merchants. Rich merchants, but still.
[And then, she nodded at her lawyer, and passed along some papers to everybody sitting at the table.]
- As you can see here, if Mako-chan and Rukia-chan could go to any of those schools from high school, and then to any of the universities on the list, it would become much easier to pay for their education. Those are all perfectly respectable and high ranking schools, just in case you were wondering.
[The problem, Mami thought with a even bigger sigh, was that Akitsu Gakuen had changed from a school for the well to do to a school for the mega-rich in just a couple of generations - And their branch of the Tomoe family just wasn't able to keep up with that, to be honest.]
[There was a reason she was going to Mitakihara Middle School, after all.]
[Her aunt and uncle looked at each other, and then at the papers, muttering to themselves about education fees and school loans and classmates of their daughters who kept making them spend money they didn't have. Mami grinned a bit at that, inwardly - Ha ha ha, maybe they'd actually listen to her and her lawyer for once?]
[And that was when Rukia stood up, and threw some of the papers at Mami's face!]
...But I don't want to go to some stupid school for - for ordinary people!
[Mami stared as her cousin staggered to her feet, her face as red as a beet.]
- You, You - This is all your fault, Mami! If you hadn't wanted to go to some stupid Tea Convention, Uncle Mitsuo and Auntie Minako would still be alive!
Re: The continuation of Path 1
["Now now girls," [her aunt said, ruffling her coat] "Why don't you go out and get a drink while the adults finish business here?"
"yes, mother."
"We do have a lot to catch up on with our dear cousin after all]
[the two girls paraded Mami outside and tossed her cookies into the garbage] "Really, stop serving this tacky, sugary foods. its so fattening! We're on a special diet, you know!"
"I'm, sorry about that, I,"
"So who do you think you are anyway, telling our parents what to do! You think you're in charge or something?" [Mako sneered]
"I, only was pointing out what might be a better option considering.. I just wanted to help."
"Well you don't know! Hah, you're always such a goody goody Tomoe!"
"Oh, but is she really?" [Rukia added[ "Wev'e been keeping an eye on you. Rumor has it that you['ve been seeing going into rather suspicious and seedy places the last few years. Just what was it that you were doing there? Some little extra activity?"
"Oh, and what about that redhead you were hanging out with? Wasn't she the daughter of that psycho preist and that cult and kileld himself? And she's a criminal now?"
[Before Mami could defend Kyouko they kept drilling into her]
"So what dirty little sercets are you hiding, hm? Oh and is your cherst even real? Oh, you're always playing the dainty perfect lady!"
"We know your' hiding something. And why is it when your parents died, druing the crash, you came out without a single scratch! Like magic!"
"Like a witch! Are you a witch Tomoe?"
[Mami was shaking by now. she could hear a voice whispering in her mind, her voice.]
[meanwhile as the sisters continued bullying an dpointing out all of Mami's flaw, Aunt Rinako was drilling into the lawyer]
"Come to think about it, isn't there european nobility in our bloodline? surely that amouts for somehting?"
"Well, yes, but the near direct dscededy applied to Minako and not as much you..."
"Well, I know you can do somehting more in our favor." [she leaned forward sensually] "There are benifits, and things to work around. And really, does young Mami really need all that money for herself? Even by herself all in that big lovely penthouse, surely she'd be more comfortable in something smaller. We can take of her assets."
"Well, normally I do, and her parent's trusted tax accountant helps her maanage the finances. And she willed everything to chairty in case of her loss and_" [he was sweating more nervously]
"Hm. Let's cut to the chase. Like I said, I know you can work with us. Afterall, I had some people dig some information on you, and I have connections... it would be a shame for you i certain information got out wouldn't it?" [she smiled nastily as the lawyer blanched]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
[The lawyer took a deep breath, then. What the hell did they think they were, anyway?]
.....Ahem. Tomoe-san, please. Haven't you ever heard of that saying about stones and glass houses?
[And then he grinned, a cold edge to his smile, and took out a file.]
- I hadn't really planned to bring this out, but since you started this first...
...Hmmm, let's start with something simple, then. You own three small companies, and have part ownership of several more, but your tax filing seems to be quite, let us say, creative indeed. And as for -
[And outside...]
...A witch, huh? As if you idiots would know of witches. Or magic. Or anything important, really.
[Mami growled out, and then held her head, grimancing.]
- Your parents are idiots! The only company of theirs that actually makes money is the company my father made for them to manage the apartments and other buildings they inherited from their grandparents - Everything else just keeps bleeding their money away, but they wouldn't sell them no matter what my father used to say, and -
[She shook her head, then.]
...And then, they even sent you two to Akitsu! How come stupid idiots like you two get to go to Akitsu, when even I couldn't afford it?
[A dark aura was starting to leak out of her. Makoto and Rukia looked at each other, and shuddered - Why had the air become so cold all of a sudden, anyway?]
- I liked Mitakihara so much more then I thought I would, but it's not the same, it's just not. Mother and Father would have been so disappointed...
[If only she'd made a better Wish...]
[Inside the room]
- Your problem, Tomoe-san, is that you're still trying to cling to a upper class lifestyle when your family is, in reality, only upper middle class at best, financially speaking.
[Mami's lawyer said with a cold smile.]
...You still do have quite a bit of wealth left, so - If you sold off the companies that were losing money, and perhaps some of your houses too, and got your daughters to go to more affordable schools, and just downsized your lifestyle in general - You probably could get out of debt in a couple of years.
[And then, he rubbed his head, and sighed.]
- But in either case -
