The 52nd Post!
[The 6th 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 2
...Mami-Neesan! Look, look - I think there must be some kind of secret door over here!
[Mami came over, then, and took a good look at the keyhole and key.]
- You appear to be right about that, Nagisa-chan!
[The two of them spent some time getting the secret door which looked just like part of the wall to open up properly, then. Nagisa sneezed a bit as the door opened up at long last.]
...It's so dusty, ha ha ha -
[And then, her eyes opened in wonder as she saw what was in the secret room behind the secret door. There were two large portraits on the walls, and some really old looking books on a desk in front of it.]
- Ohhh! Mami-Nee, Mami-Nee, look, look - The people in this picture look just like you and me!
Re: The continuation of Path 2
" charlotte! Thats my name!"( nagisa whispered with a giggle
Re: The continuation of Path 2
[She looked at the portrait again, carefully, and grinned when she realized that what it actually had said was "Mariannna Candeloro, the Duchess of the Candeloro Province". Yes, that sounded much better!]
[And so she turned back toward Nagisa with a laugh.]
...It is?
[Mami grinned, and patted Nagisa's head.]
- Oh, yes - My other name is Charlotte, and yours is Candoloro!
[Nagisa grinned back.]
...Huh, really? Why isn't it Marianna?
[Mami said, and gave Nagisa a hug, just because.]
- Well, I dunno, but it's Candeloro, not Marianna. Maybe it's because you used to think that being the Duchess Candeloro was more important then being just Marianna, I think?
[Nagisa said, a slightly sad smile on her face, and then she turned toward the other portrait.]
...I'm sorry Mami-Nee, I'm not sure what I'm talking about right now at all, but - Hey, look, this one looks like all our friends! The pink haired one looks like Madoka-san, and the redhead and the bluehead look just like Kyoko-san and Sayaka-san!
[Mami looked at the other portrait, then, grinning.]
...Indeed they do! But it's odd - The cute girl with the old fashioned coral glasses looks very familiar too, but I can't for the life of me figure out why. Who does she remind me of, I wonder?
[Nagisa took a good look at the figure Mami was pointing at, but then she giggled.]
- Oh, Mami-Nee - That's just Akemi Homura-san with glasses! Though she does look awfully cute like that, ha ha ha...
[And then, Nagisa paused a bit, and turned toward Mami.]
...Mami-Nee? Homura-san is a good person, really, even though I know you've fought her before. And I...
[Nagisa took a deep breath, then.]
- Um, there's something I have to tell you, Mami-san, and it's really important, and I really have to tell you all about if before somebody else -
[Well, somebody like that creep Kyubey that is, Nagisa thought with a wince. She wasn't going to let him tell Mami-Nee anything about the Magical Girls turning into Witches business if she could help it, that was for sure... That was Nagisa herself's job, really, she felt for some strange reason.]
- Tells you all about it, but first, I want us to do all the stuff we came to do here, and have all the fun we can, OK?
[Mami looked at Nagisa for a moment, her eyebrows raised, but then she smiled happily.]
...If you say so, Nagisa-chan.
[And then, Mami came closer to Nagisa, and put her hands on her shoulders.]
I trust you, of course - Oh, we're related in some way anyway, it seems, but I really feel like you're my real sister or something!
[Nagisa wiped at her eyes, then, feeling herself tearing up.]
...OK, then - So let's check out those really old books next!
Re: The continuation of Path 2 2/2
...Wait, I think I know this story!
[Nagisa said with a smile.]
It's one of the Princess of Evil stories! The one about the Princess of Evil and the Wise Queen Verena, right?
[But then, her face fell as she saw what came next. A picture of a lot of people in mediveal garb, looking up with wide eyes as a circus tent formed around him.]
And then Queen Verena laughed and laughed, and the Witches danced. And when that Walpurgis Night was over, nobody ever saw the Wise and Gentle Queen Verena again...Though sometimes, people saw they see a circus tent sailing through the skies like a ship, with a woman of terrible beauty at the helm of it...
[Mami looked at the last picture in the picture book, and blinked. A large circus sailing through the night skies, filled with acrobats and dancers and actresses, and at the helm was...]
[...It was...almost like...]
[Hmmmmmmmm.]
Re: The continuation of Path 2 2/2
(Nagisa beamed at the illustration] "The witch queen... She's so pretty!"
"yes... she is beautiful..." [ the queen of the witches... their queen...]
Re: The continuation of Path 2
...OK, then, so what's in this book?
[She said, picking up the other one. Mami stared at her, blinking, and then shook her head.]
- I have no idea. The picure on the front really does look familiar, though, for some reason...
[Nagisa gave her a slightly sad smile, then.]
...Why, of course, Mami-Nee - They look just like the Kagamine Rin-san and her brother!
[Mami stared for a moment, wondering who those people were - And then, she took a better look at the picuture. The richly dressed girl sitting on the throne did look a lot like the Magical Girl who'd fought with them at the concert battle, now that she thought about it. And as for the boy standing behind her in some kind of Royal Servant's garb...]
- Oh, so that's what her name is? I had no idea, though I do remember a boy who looked a lot like her being there, of course.
[Mami and Nagisa both browzed through the book, then, though the story was a bit different from what they both remembered.]
...It's still fits the general plot of the Story of Evil, but the nobles around Princess Rillanne seem to be much more evil and manuplative then I remember from any of the other stories. I do feel sorry for her, at least a little...
[Mami said, looking at a picture of Rillanne crying on the shoulder of the blond boy who looked just like her. At then, she blinked.]
- No, wait, so the Royal Servant is actually being called her brother, here? Her twin brother, even? But then, why wasn't he the King, or at least some kind of Prince?
...I don't know, Mami-Nee. Maybe some people thought having a girl on the throne would be more useful, somehow?
[Mami nodded at that, and looked through the book some more.]
[The Picture Book]
[The blonde haired girl was sitting at a desk, cletching a glass so hard it was breaking in her hand - "Everybody betrays me! Even my own brother betrays me!" The caption said, as the blood flowed down her hand...]
[And then, a white furred and red eyed creature came upon the scene, smiling up at her cutely.]
It has been a long while, Princess Rillanne!
Re: The continuation of Path 2
[Nagisa bounced up curiously] " Will you read the picture book to me, mami nee chan?"
"Perhaps tonight before bed, imouto chan" [Mami patted Nagisa's head] "Now, let's see what other interestingg things we can find here."
Re: The continuation of Path 2
[Nagisa said with a somewhat sad smile.]
What do you want to do next?
[She did want Mami to do everything she'd come to do and have some fun before telling her the horrible truth about Magical Girls turning into Witches, after all. And she really did have to tell Mami first, before that nasty Kyubey did, Nagisa felt...]
[Mami smiled at her.]
...Well, for now...Why don't we go to the Festival that's supposed to be taking place in the village down the hill?
- That sounds like a great idea, Mami-Nee!
[And so they closed up the room, and took another bath. Mami and Nagisa both did each other's hair, and got dressed in the appropiate yukata's and footgear.]
[They were doing a play based on some of the local legends at the festival. Nagisa clapped her hands and laughed.]
...Five color-coded Mikos teaming up to save the village from a horrible monster? Why, it's almost like a Magical Girl anime or something, Mami-Nee...
......It really does, doesn't it?
[Mami said, and then she snickered as Kyubey looked up at her, grinning as usual.]
.......Well, I wonder, Kyubey - Could you have had something to do with those old legends, perhaps?
- Maybe, maybe!
[The Incubator said, laughing - And then, he giggled as Mami gave him some dangos on a stick,]
...I love those - Thanks, Mami!
[And then, they sat down to watch the play. Mami chuckled as she saw the Silver Miko being given a magical talisman by a black cat, and then go on to gather the Miko Team.]
...So it wasn't a white cat? How odd!
[First, there was a series of battles, fighting against a red-haired sorceress and her minions (who were feeding people's energies to the monster for some kind of magical dark power boost) and then, it was time for the final battle against the monster herself. Nagisa and Mami ooh'd and ahh'd as the color-coded Miko's died, one by one, just to give their camerades a chance to kill the monster for good.]
[And then, the Moonlight Shadow, the Silver Miko's mysterious love interest, died in her arms a very sad scene, accompanied by old style traditional Japanese dirge music.]
[Nagisa clapped, too, her eyes moist.]
......So that's what sad anime music would have sounded like if they'd had anime back in the Edo period, huh?
[After that came the final battle, in which the Silver Miko managed to defeat the monster with her last breath, and collapsed on the floor of the stage as the monster gave one last screetch of rage and disappered in a flash of smoke.]
[There was one last scene, then, a bittersweet scene were the spirit of the Silver Miko was reunited with the spirits of her friends and beloved, and danced with each other one last time.]
...Well, it probably was a good thing that the Silver Miko died in the final battle, I suppose - It would have been much too dangerous otherwise.
[Nagisa said, sighing a bit, and wiped her eyes. Mami blinked at that.]
- Huh? Why would it have been dangerous? The Witch - I mean, the monster had been defeated already, right, Nagisa-chan?
[Nagisa looked at her, and sighed again, wondering what to say - But then, the final narration of the play started up.]
The legends say that Five Miko became goddesses after their death, and are watching over the people, even now. The main shrine dedicated to them is a 15 minute walk from here...
...Ohhhh!
[Nagisa laughed, and clapped her hands, relieved for a chance to change the subject.]
- Let's go pay our respects to our Sempais from long ago, Mami-Nee! I mean, it does sound like the right thing to do, right?
