[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)]
" so the girls continued on to enjoy their lunches as the train traveked on. After a couple more hours, they finally arrived to the countryside town near the house, and from there they took a taxi to the house up in the hills. It was a charming western styled cottage. Madoka squealed as they approached) " oh! How adorable!" ( sayaka saw one of the large houses on s neighboring hill, recognizing it as kyousukes" " all right now, there are three bedrooms." ( mami as saying as they unpacked the luggage from the taxi)
[Kyoko, in the meanwhile, had just dumped her rucksack on a spare sofa, and had gone out to explore the area around the cottage.]
...Hey, Mami! I just found this little path going up the mountain with a sign with a onsen mark on it, I think?
[Mami poked her nose out of the cottage, and grinned.]
- Oh, yes - The onsen itself is up the path over there. It's pretty nice, with a gazebo and everything -
[And then, she sighed a bit.]
Or it was pretty nice when I went there with my family, about 7 years ago, anyhow. I have no idea if anybody has been doing maintenace properly, I'm afraid...
[Kyoko giggled at that.]
...Don't worry, Mami, we all know how to clean stuff up, I'm pretty sure!
[Mami nodded at that with a smile, while Bebe clapped her hands.]
< It's an onsen! It's an onsen! >
[And then, Mami looked around the cottage, and took up a map.]
...Hey, everybody? Going to the onsen is all right, but please don't try to get up the path leading up the mountain from the other side of the onsen all by yourselves, OK? That path leads to the really old and big house I told you about before, and it's been years and years since anybody even tried cleaning the place, I'm afraid...
[Sayaka grinned at that.]
- Oh, yeah, I thought this cottage looked much too modern to be the house you were talking about before!
[Madoka grinned, too.]
...This place is really nice, though - I'm glad we didn't have to stay at the old house, honestly.
[Mami smiled at that.]
- Oh, yes, I was so relieved when I saw that this cottage was included in the stuff my stupid uncle and aunt forced me to buy, ha ha ha...
[Sayaka and Madoka sweatdropped at that. Mami's uncle and aunt had what?]
[Kyoko, in the meanwhile, was sweatdropping for quite a different reason.]
...Mamiiii! Come onnnn, this is not the place or the time to talk about stuff like that!
[And Eight went up to her, too, with a somewhat sad smile.]
- She's right, Mami - You came here to have fun with your friends, right?
...Oh, you're right, I suppose - Thanks, Eight-chan.
[And then, she picked him up in her arms and gave him a pat on his head. Eight stared for a moment, and then gave her an affectionate headbutt back, while Seven sighed, waving his paws.]
[Kyoko and the rest of the girls sighed in relief, then, and went on to unpack. Mami had looked pretty damn scary for a moment, for whatever reason...]
- Ahem. OK, then - We're gonna start heading toward the onsen in, say, 15 minutes! Is that OK with you people, everybody?
[Madoka said with a smile.]
[And in the meanwhile, on a path on the mountain nearby...]
[Two blond teenagers dressed in pants, a t-shirt and a jacket where looking up at the skies.]
...Rin?
[Len said, and looked at his map, sighing.]
- Don't you think it's about time you admitted we're sort of lost now? I mean, I have no idea where the hotel we're staying is supposed to be, anymore...
" rifht!" ( with that, they headed off to their rooms. with only a few bedrooms in the cottage, mami had somehypw arranged it for sayaka and kyouko to room togwther again. Bebe ran arpund the halls giggling in excitement.
Meanwhile,) " you knucklehead!" ( rin conked len on the head and continued on with a huff. Len sighec and shook his head, but was smiling. It was good to have his sister back again. There was no peep of this supposed other personality recently, or that kyubey. Rin fidn't seem to have memories of this magical girl bysiness either. Good. He stoll missed miku though...
[Madoka and her friends were now all heading toward the onsen in a group, giggling and laughing. They all had little bags filled with towels, soaps, shampoos and other things they needed, as they had no idea if the onsen would be stocked with such things or not.]
...No, no, Eight, Seven - The Gazebo Onsen is actually divided into Woman's Baths and Men's Baths, from what I remember, and you two are going to go to the Men's Baths, no ifs or buts!
[Mami said, laughing, as they walked.]
- But Mami - We ain't even human, remember?
[Seven protested with a laugh. Mami laughed back, and then poked him with her finger.]
...Sure you're not, but you're still both male, sort of, and you can even transform into humanoids when you feel like it, correct?
[Kyoko laughed at that, too.]
...Damn right, critters - You go to your side, and we stay on our side, OK? Ha ha ha!
[And then, she made a mini version of her Spear pop up in her hands, and brandished it at the rogue Incubators, snickering.]
- Fine, fine, whatever you say, everybody...
[Eight said with a shrug, and then, he perked up, waving his paw in the air.]
...You girls would still brush our fur later, right?
[Rin kept on walking, mumbing something under her breath - And that was when she caught sight of a nice looking onsen down the side of the mountain, with a very pretty gazebo!]
...Hey, Len, did you see that?
[She said with a grin, pointing at the onsen - And then, she started walking down one of the side paths heading in the onsen's direction, humming to herself.]
[Len followed her, feeling like humming himself - And then, he sighed a bit. Oh, if only Miku could have been with them now! He pictured her walking besides them in a hiking outfit, her beautiful green hair flowing behind her...]
...Oh, Miku, I miss you so much...
[He whispered, and wiped at his eyes with his sleeve. He didn't want Rin to realize he was upset about anything, after all - Especially since he really couldn't figure out how much she remembered about Miku's final concert at all.]
[Mami blinked, then, as a keening sound came out of the basket she was carrying.]
...Kirsten Elly? Is that you?
[She said, and then she carefully reached into the basket, and picked the Mini-Witch up. The other Mini Witches were now looking rather upset, too, and trying to climb out of the basket, sometimes stepping on each other.]
( and there was static displaying across the screen , the faint memories playing. Fragments of scenes, of miku living a regular life, her with her friends, with the twims, with her music...
Meanwhile sayaka stipped and bliushed as she saw kyousuke arrivimg, hitomi not far behind
[Several minutes later, Rin and Len found themselves standing in front of a big sign with a map. "The Gazebo Onsen. This onsen is personal property - Please do not use it without permission. The nearest public bath with an onsen is the Tokomatsu Onsen, which is a 20 minute walk away - Please follow the map if you're interested..."]
- Oh, well, too bad...
[Rin said, turning away with a pout - And that was when she caught sight of two groups of some other people coming toward the onsen from the other paths leading to it.]
...Hah?
[Rin said, tilting her head - And then, she turned toward Len, and whispered - ]
...Those people seem to be sort of weirdly familiar, Len. Have we met them before or something?
[Mami, in the meanwhile, had quickly stuffed Kirsten Elly and the other Mini Witches back into the basket before Hitomi or Kyosuke could catch sight of them. She patted Kirsten Elly gently before closing the basket's lid - And then, her eyes narrowed a bit as she caught sight of the two blond teenagers in front of the big onsen sign.]
[...That was strange. She was almost a 100 percent sure that the blond girl over there was the Magical Girl who'd fought besides them at the big Hatsune Miku battle, but - Why were her magical energy signatures so muted, now? Why, Mami could barely feel them at all, even though she was looking right at the girl...]
"Rin, we might be trespassing." "We're not trespassing~ We're just asking for diresctions! Sheesh!" [And, rolling her eyes, Rin stepped up to Mam with a wavei, not recognizing her.] "hi there! sorry to intrude, but my brother and I were just hiking around here, and got lost! so, we'd maybe like directions, amybe a wuick breaka?" [Len froze as he saw the other girls, recognizing them. Oh no, why did they have to run into them! What if they stirred up something strange in Rin again! Well he knew they were good enough people, but he couldn't take the risk...] "Ah, it is no trouble at all." [Mami ssmiled kindly at them.] "Come, have a rest. I shall make you some refreshments!" "Ah, well, we can't stay too long..." [Len said with hesitation] "Mom might be getting worried..."
[The blonde girl said jovially - And that was when Mami realized that Eight and Seven and the girl were looking at each other.]
[The blonde girl tilted her head.]
............Oh. Hi?
[Eight nodded at her, then, and so did Seven.]
(Hello, Kagamine Rin.)
[Hitomi, in the meanwhile, was wondering what the blonde girl was looking at. She rubbed at her eyes, and then rubbed her temples. What was that white blob with red dots that her eyes just couldn't seem to focus on, anyway?]
( and then len, realizing that these two things, though not associated with that creep kyubey, were at risk of waking that odd side of rin again, that would not be good, so he ran up and punted seven away!) ( rin gasped and put her hands on her hips) " len! What the frack fid you do that for!" " they're bad news, rin! You've got to stay away from them!" @ how could they be bad news! " ( rin scowlec at her brother) " and just how do you know about them snyway'!"
[Mami sighed a bit, then, and invited Kyosuke and Hitomi into the onsen.]
...The right side is the Men's Baths and the left side is the Woman's.
[Mami said, smiling.]
- I think we should all take a nice refreshing bath, and then have some tea and refreshments in about 20 minutes. What do you think, everybody?
...That sounds like a wonderful idea, Mami-san!
[Sayaka laughed, and so they all went to their locker rooms. Kyosuke blinked as he realized that the lockers in the Men's Baths appeared to be broken.]
- This one's stuck, and this one's door is gone... Well, OK, I can just put my clothes and stuff in the basket over here, I suppose - It's not like any robbers are going to come here now, ha ha ha -
...Yeah, I don't think you have to worry about that either, actually.
[A voice said from someplace beneath him. Kyosuke looked down and slowly blinked as he saw a cream colored critter with red-amber eyes looking up at him.]
- I am called Eight, and this is my colleague, who is called Seven.
[The critter said, and slowly nodded toward another critter with mussy hair. The other critter nodded back with a grin.]
...Good to meecha, Kamijo Kyosuke! That Miki Sayaka girl talks about you a whole lot, did you know that?
[Kyoukske blinked at the critters and shrugged nonchalantly. So he was still hallucinating, it seemed, these critters popped up again. Of course, it couldn't be real. Just likenseeing Sayaka with magical swirls of water and music notes and battling hideous monsters....] "Does she now. Well, we have been close friends ever since we were little." "Yeah, but it ain't jut friend talk, ya know!" [Seven sniggered] "she's always ghushing about ya! Her prince charming, she wants ya bad! Course, sparks are also flyin' between her and fiery Kyouko!" [Eight rolled his eyes and nudged Seven] "Quiet now."
...Kyoko? Oh, you mean Sakura-san? She's sort of scary, but I thought she seemed nice...
[Kyosuke mumbled, not quite getting what the critters were just saying -]
- And what do you mean, she wants me bad?
[- And then he put his hand to his head as a series of images rushed through it. Waking up to find Sayaka holding his hand, and a warmth he'd never felt before running through his body, strength and sensation returning to his hands, and his sight suddenly becoming clearer. Sayaka looked at him with a puzzled look at the Hatsune Miku concert asking him why he'd changed his clothes, and talking about coming to the concert in a limo. How strange - Why did she think he had the money to take her anyplace in a limo, anyway? But from that time, things had gotten stranger and stranger...]
[Kyosuke shook his head, then.]
...Oh, come on, Magical Girls don't exist for real - And even if they did, why would Sayaka of all people become one? That's ridiculous!
[And Sayaka in the meanwhile let out a sneeze as she was installing herself in the baths along side the other girls. Her legs tingled again upon the contact with the water, but she willed her mermaid feautures to stay down. Eventually Hitmoi approached Sayaka, looking a bit serious.] "Sayaka chan, may we go to that side of the pool over there, just the two of us? There is something I need to discuss with you." "Huh? Ssure, Hitomi" [As she followed Hiitomi to the opposite side of the pool, Sayaka had a bit of a sinking feeling.] "Sayaka san, we've been good friends with Kyousuke kun for years now, haven't we." "yeah. Ever since kindergarten" And now, your relationship with him," "Er, we're just friends!" [so far...?] "Just friends? I see. You see, I have somehting to confess. I am in love with him, and am planning to ask him to be my boyfriend tonight." [Time seemed to freeze and everything turned cold as Sayaka heard those words] "..oh..." "And I wanted to let you know that, Sayaka Chan." "yeah... sure. That's great. I'm happy for you, Hitmomi!" [Sayaka forced a smile upon her face but was feeling very stricken and dizzy] "Are you all right?" "yeha, I just feel a bit... I have to go..." [Sayaka started to stumble out of the bath, but fell over in pain as she lost control and her witch feauures appeared in full force right before Hitmoi's eyes!]
[Hitomi said, blankly, and then, she suddenly fainted, almost sinking into the bath. Sayaka stared at her in horror for a moment, but then came to her senses and quickly pulled Hitomi out of the bath.]
[She then groaned as she saw herself in the mirror. The magical disguise had came off!]
[Mermaid Sayaka tried to stand up, then, and then flopped to the floor again. Wait a minute, had her legs been a mermaid tail all along, under the magical disguise? How in the world had she been able to walk, anyway?]
[Sayaka sighed, then, and shook her head. Maybe the disguise magic was also supposed to cause a partial transformation? Who knew how those things were supposed to work, anyway.]
[Sayaka shook her head again, then, and flopped over to the locker filled with her belongings, pushing herself over the floor with her hands. She then quickly took out the small round magical mirror that Seven and Eight had given her, flipped it's lid open, and slapped the disguise back on. Syaka sighed in relief as her face in the mirror quicky changed into what she thought of as her "human face". She checked the rest of her body too, to make sure the magic was working properly in places that weren't her face - Yes, her human legs were back too, yaaay! Sayaka smiled in relief, and then walked back to Hitomi, who'd she'd left lying down on the bath's floor.]
[Hitomi groaned as Sayaka went up to her.]
...Sayaka...san?
- Yeah, it's me!
[Sayaka said, and leaned down toward her, holding out a sports towel.]
...Are you OK now? You scared me, you know, just collapsing like that...
[Hitomi stared at her, muzzlily, and took the towel.]
- But...you...?...
[And then, she shook her head.]
...How strange! I must have been dreaming, of course. Sorry, Sayaka-san...
[And then, Sayaka took a deep breath.]
- And, um, Hitomi? About Kyosuke...
[Hitomi looked at her, then.]
...Yes, Sayaka-san?
[Sayaka groaned, then, getting more and more red in the face.]
- I'm sorry, but I've been in - in - in - I mean, I haven't been thinking of him just as a friend for a while now. So there!
[Hitomi blinked in surprise at that] "oh? Hm, yes. I thought so. It is fairly obvious." [Sayaka blushed flustered at that] "oh. Is it.... We, we actually..."" "But, have you actually confessed your feelings towards him yet?" ["Er, well..." [sayak faltered, absent mindedly scratching at her legs, some scales reappearing form the stress] "...not officially yet...] [Hitomi sighed and shook her head] "I don't want to put pressure on you, sayaka chan. And I don't want something like this to ruin our friendship. But it seems we are both in a predicament. We both love Kyousuke kun"
[And then, she sighed. She didn't really think that telling Hitomi about the Magical Girl business was a good idea, to be frank.]
......Just...Just give me some time. OK?
[And in the Men's Baths...]
[Seven and Eight both chuckled, as Kyosuke put a hand to his head.]
...Magical Girls do exist, you see - And Miki Sayaka really, really, really wanted to heal your hand and your brain and all the other damage that the accident had caused you.
[And then, Seven chuckled, remembering Sayaka's long list of wishes.]
- Oh, it wasn't the only thing she Wished for by a long shot, but you were the most important part of it, I think.
[Kyosuke stared at them, then.]
...What? But - But - Wait, Sayaka healing my hand wasn't just a dream, you mean?
[And then, he shook his head.]
- And - Wishes? Somebody...Somebody was talking about Wishes, I think...
[Seven and Eight both nodded at that, and then, Eight hopped up to Kyosuke.]
- Oh, yes - Look, it works like this, OK? First, an Incubator goes and talks to a human with potential, who is usually a teenage girl but not always, and then they make a Contract if she agrees to become a Magical Girl and fight Witches - Oh, and I don't mean "human female magic users" when I say Witches, by the way, the Witches I'm talking about are basically eldrich monsters.
[And then, Seven waved a paw, too.]
...Tha girls gets a free Wish as well as nifty magical powers when they become Magical Girls - Transformations, magical attacks, the works. They usually love that part, though fighting Witches is pretty dangerous and all...
[Kyosuke sighed, then, and closed his eyes, rubbing them.]
...Potential. Somebody once said that...I had potential.
[Seven and Eight both looked at him, then, their amber and amber-red eyes glittering.]
- Ya do, actually!
[Seven said, and hopped closer to him, grinning.]
...It's been a while since I made a Contract with a male human being, but I'll be willin' to try it if yer are - There're a couple of new experiments I'd just love to try out, after all, ha ha ha...
[Eight coughed, then, and waved his paws at Seven.]
- But on the other hand - I'm pretty sure Miki Sayaka would really, really be upset if both us if you just went and decided to become a Magical Boy without talking it over with her first, I'm afraid. Being a Puella or Puer Magi is risky in all kinds of way, you see...
(Hitomi sighed and shook her head) "I am sorry , Sayaka chan. I Did not want it to come this way, and put pressure on you like this. You are my good friend.. But this needs to be solved. " [Hitomi stepped out of the baths, draping a towel aorund her lovely, graceful body) "Tomorrow we shall invite you girls to brunch at our house. I will tell Kyousuke how I feel afterwards. You have until then to tell him how you feel. Is this fair?" [Sayaka was a bit pale and emitted a quick high pitched croak, before giving her proper response] "Y-yeah. Good, plan." "Very well. Oh dear, you seem to have quite a rash there. You should have it medicated." "I-i's nothing , yeha I'll get it,.." [Sayaka was still scratching at her legs absent mindedly, tyring to hide any emerging scales. After Hitomi left, Sayaka groaned and lay back. She could hear her witch self muttering furiously in her mind, which included negative words against Hitomi)
[Sayaka blinked, then. Wait a damn minute, what did Hitomi mean by her house, anyway? Did Hitomi's family actually own a house nearby this place or something?]
[Sayaka's Witch Self, in the meanwhile, was showing Sayaka some comedic images of a manga-esque Hitomi being blown up to the roof of the onsen by a erupting geyser of hot spring water. Sayaka groaned, laughed, and then patted her Witch Self mentally.]
[And that was when Hitomi wrapped a towel around herself, and then went to the part of the baths that the other girls were, waving her hand about!]
...Everybody here, please pay attention!
[Hitomi blushed when everybody actually stopped whatever they were doing and started to look at her, but then, she carried gamely on.]
- Um, I'm really grateful for Tomoe-Sempai inviting me and Kamijo-kun here for a dip in the very nice Onsen here -
[And then, she gave Mami a little bow. Mami bowed back with a light smile.]
...So I'm inviting all of you to a cottage my family is renting from some of my relatives for brunch tomorrow! Well, I can change the schedule if it doesn't match your plans, but...

[Len froze as he saw the other girls, recognizing them. Oh no, why did they have to run into them! What if they stirred up something strange in Rin again! Well he knew they were good enough people, but he couldn't take the risk...]
"Ah, it is no trouble at all." [Mami ssmiled kindly at them.] "Come, have a rest. I shall make you some refreshments!"
"Ah, well, we can't stay too long..." [Len said with hesitation] "Mom might be getting worried..."
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2016-06-30 07:20 am (UTC)[The blonde girl said jovially - And that was when Mami realized that Eight and Seven and the girl were looking at each other.]
[The blonde girl tilted her head.]
............Oh. Hi?
[Eight nodded at her, then, and so did Seven.]
(Hello, Kagamine Rin.)
[Hitomi, in the meanwhile, was wondering what the blonde girl was looking at. She rubbed at her eyes, and then rubbed her temples. What was that white blob with red dots that her eyes just couldn't seem to focus on, anyway?]

Date: 2016-07-03 03:49 am (UTC)( rin gasped and put her hands on her hips) " len! What the frack fid you do that for!"
" they're bad news, rin! You've got to stay away from them!"
@ how could they be bad news! " ( rin scowlec at her brother) " and just how do you know about them snyway'!"
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2016-07-03 07:48 am (UTC)[Len shook his head, then.]
- Never mind that, Rin.
[And then, he turned toward Mami.]
...Thanks for everything, Miss, but we'll be going to the other onsen now. Let's go, Rin!
[Len said, and then he started to walk down the path going to the other onsen, pulling at Rin's arm.]
[Rin sighed, but then, started to walk with him.]
...Don't be so rude, Len! Jeez!
[And then, she waved at the other girls]
- Sorry, everybody - Ha ha ha!
[And then, her eyes went hooded for a moment, and she whispered - ]
...See you later, Seven, Eight.
(...As ya wish, Kagamine Rin.)
[Seven said from the place he'd been thrown, while Eight nodded, too.]
[Hitomi, in the meanwhile, was still rubbing at her eyes. So what had that boy just tried to punt, anyway?]
[And that was when Kyosuke sighed, and went over to her.]
...You shouldn't think about it too much, Hitomi-san. All it'll do is give you a headache, OK?
[Mami blinked at that. Wait, so Kyosuke-san could see Eight and Seven, now?]
Re: The continuation of Path 1 2/2
Date: 2016-07-24 06:24 am (UTC)...The right side is the Men's Baths and the left side is the Woman's.
[Mami said, smiling.]
- I think we should all take a nice refreshing bath, and then have some tea and refreshments in about 20 minutes. What do you think, everybody?
...That sounds like a wonderful idea, Mami-san!
[Sayaka laughed, and so they all went to their locker rooms. Kyosuke blinked as he realized that the lockers in the Men's Baths appeared to be broken.]
- This one's stuck, and this one's door is gone... Well, OK, I can just put my clothes and stuff in the basket over here, I suppose - It's not like any robbers are going to come here now, ha ha ha -
...Yeah, I don't think you have to worry about that either, actually.
[A voice said from someplace beneath him. Kyosuke looked down and slowly blinked as he saw a cream colored critter with red-amber eyes looking up at him.]
- I am called Eight, and this is my colleague, who is called Seven.
[The critter said, and slowly nodded toward another critter with mussy hair. The other critter nodded back with a grin.]
...Good to meecha, Kamijo Kyosuke! That Miki Sayaka girl talks about you a whole lot, did you know that?
Re: The continuation of Path 1 2/2
Date: 2016-07-27 05:38 am (UTC)"Yeah, but it ain't jut friend talk, ya know!" [Seven sniggered] "she's always ghushing about ya! Her prince charming, she wants ya bad! Course, sparks are also flyin' between her and fiery Kyouko!"
[Eight rolled his eyes and nudged Seven] "Quiet now."
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2016-07-27 06:12 am (UTC)[Kyosuke mumbled, not quite getting what the critters were just saying -]
- And what do you mean, she wants me bad?
[- And then he put his hand to his head as a series of images rushed through it. Waking up to find Sayaka holding his hand, and a warmth he'd never felt before running through his body, strength and sensation returning to his hands, and his sight suddenly becoming clearer. Sayaka looked at him with a puzzled look at the Hatsune Miku concert asking him why he'd changed his clothes, and talking about coming to the concert in a limo. How strange - Why did she think he had the money to take her anyplace in a limo, anyway? But from that time, things had gotten stranger and stranger...]
[Kyosuke shook his head, then.]
...Oh, come on, Magical Girls don't exist for real - And even if they did, why would Sayaka of all people become one? That's ridiculous!
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2016-08-03 05:43 am (UTC)"Sayaka chan, may we go to that side of the pool over there, just the two of us? There is something I need to discuss with you."
"Huh? Ssure, Hitomi" [As she followed Hiitomi to the opposite side of the pool, Sayaka had a bit of a sinking feeling.]
"Sayaka san, we've been good friends with Kyousuke kun for years now, haven't we."
"yeah. Ever since kindergarten"
And now, your relationship with him,"
"Er, we're just friends!" [so far...?]
"Just friends? I see. You see, I have somehting to confess. I am in love with him, and am planning to ask him to be my boyfriend tonight."
[Time seemed to freeze and everything turned cold as Sayaka heard those words] "..oh..."
"And I wanted to let you know that, Sayaka Chan."
"yeah... sure. That's great. I'm happy for you, Hitmomi!" [Sayaka forced a smile upon her face but was feeling very stricken and dizzy]
"Are you all right?"
"yeha, I just feel a bit... I have to go..." [Sayaka started to stumble out of the bath, but fell over in pain as she lost control and her witch feauures appeared in full force right before Hitmoi's eyes!]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2016-08-03 08:11 am (UTC)[Hitomi said, blankly, and then, she suddenly fainted, almost sinking into the bath. Sayaka stared at her in horror for a moment, but then came to her senses and quickly pulled Hitomi out of the bath.]
[She then groaned as she saw herself in the mirror. The magical disguise had came off!]
[Mermaid Sayaka tried to stand up, then, and then flopped to the floor again. Wait a minute, had her legs been a mermaid tail all along, under the magical disguise? How in the world had she been able to walk, anyway?]
[Sayaka sighed, then, and shook her head. Maybe the disguise magic was also supposed to cause a partial transformation? Who knew how those things were supposed to work, anyway.]
[Sayaka shook her head again, then, and flopped over to the locker filled with her belongings, pushing herself over the floor with her hands. She then quickly took out the small round magical mirror that Seven and Eight had given her, flipped it's lid open, and slapped the disguise back on. Syaka sighed in relief as her face in the mirror quicky changed into what she thought of as her "human face". She checked the rest of her body too, to make sure the magic was working properly in places that weren't her face - Yes, her human legs were back too, yaaay! Sayaka smiled in relief, and then walked back to Hitomi, who'd she'd left lying down on the bath's floor.]
[Hitomi groaned as Sayaka went up to her.]
...Sayaka...san?
- Yeah, it's me!
[Sayaka said, and leaned down toward her, holding out a sports towel.]
...Are you OK now? You scared me, you know, just collapsing like that...
[Hitomi stared at her, muzzlily, and took the towel.]
- But...you...?...
[And then, she shook her head.]
...How strange! I must have been dreaming, of course. Sorry, Sayaka-san...
[And then, Sayaka took a deep breath.]
- And, um, Hitomi? About Kyosuke...
[Hitomi looked at her, then.]
...Yes, Sayaka-san?
[Sayaka groaned, then, getting more and more red in the face.]
- I'm sorry, but I've been in - in - in - I mean, I haven't been thinking of him just as a friend for a while now. So there!
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2016-08-08 05:36 am (UTC)[Sayaka blushed flustered at that] "oh. Is it.... We, we actually...""
"But, have you actually confessed your feelings towards him yet?"
["Er, well..." [sayak faltered, absent mindedly scratching at her legs, some scales reappearing form the stress] "...not officially yet...]
[Hitomi sighed and shook her head] "I don't want to put pressure on you, sayaka chan. And I don't want something like this to ruin our friendship. But it seems we are both in a predicament. We both love Kyousuke kun"
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2016-08-08 05:49 am (UTC)[Sayaka groaned.]
- Look, Hitomi, I - I -
[And then, she sighed. She didn't really think that telling Hitomi about the Magical Girl business was a good idea, to be frank.]
......Just...Just give me some time. OK?
[And in the Men's Baths...]
[Seven and Eight both chuckled, as Kyosuke put a hand to his head.]
...Magical Girls do exist, you see - And Miki Sayaka really, really, really wanted to heal your hand and your brain and all the other damage that the accident had caused you.
[And then, Seven chuckled, remembering Sayaka's long list of wishes.]
- Oh, it wasn't the only thing she Wished for by a long shot, but you were the most important part of it, I think.
[Kyosuke stared at them, then.]
...What? But - But - Wait, Sayaka healing my hand wasn't just a dream, you mean?
[And then, he shook his head.]
- And - Wishes? Somebody...Somebody was talking about Wishes, I think...
Re: The continuation of Path 1 2/2
Date: 2016-08-14 05:27 am (UTC)- Oh, yes - Look, it works like this, OK? First, an Incubator goes and talks to a human with potential, who is usually a teenage girl but not always, and then they make a Contract if she agrees to become a Magical Girl and fight Witches - Oh, and I don't mean "human female magic users" when I say Witches, by the way, the Witches I'm talking about are basically eldrich monsters.
[And then, Seven waved a paw, too.]
...Tha girls gets a free Wish as well as nifty magical powers when they become Magical Girls - Transformations, magical attacks, the works. They usually love that part, though fighting Witches is pretty dangerous and all...
[Kyosuke sighed, then, and closed his eyes, rubbing them.]
...Potential. Somebody once said that...I had potential.
[Seven and Eight both looked at him, then, their amber and amber-red eyes glittering.]
- Ya do, actually!
[Seven said, and hopped closer to him, grinning.]
...It's been a while since I made a Contract with a male human being, but I'll be willin' to try it if yer are - There're a couple of new experiments I'd just love to try out, after all, ha ha ha...
[Eight coughed, then, and waved his paws at Seven.]
- But on the other hand - I'm pretty sure Miki Sayaka would really, really be upset if both us if you just went and decided to become a Magical Boy without talking it over with her first, I'm afraid. Being a Puella or Puer Magi is risky in all kinds of way, you see...
Re: The continuation of Path 1 2/2
Date: 2016-08-17 04:27 am (UTC)[Sayaka was a bit pale and emitted a quick high pitched croak, before giving her proper response] "Y-yeah. Good, plan."
"Very well. Oh dear, you seem to have quite a rash there. You should have it medicated."
"I-i's nothing , yeha I'll get it,.." [Sayaka was still scratching at her legs absent mindedly, tyring to hide any emerging scales. After Hitomi left, Sayaka groaned and lay back. She could hear her witch self muttering furiously in her mind, which included negative words against Hitomi)
Re: The continuation of Path 1 1/2
Date: 2016-08-17 06:07 am (UTC)[Sayaka blinked, then. Wait a damn minute, what did Hitomi mean by her house, anyway? Did Hitomi's family actually own a house nearby this place or something?]
[Sayaka's Witch Self, in the meanwhile, was showing Sayaka some comedic images of a manga-esque Hitomi being blown up to the roof of the onsen by a erupting geyser of hot spring water. Sayaka groaned, laughed, and then patted her Witch Self mentally.]
[And that was when Hitomi wrapped a towel around herself, and then went to the part of the baths that the other girls were, waving her hand about!]
...Everybody here, please pay attention!
[Hitomi blushed when everybody actually stopped whatever they were doing and started to look at her, but then, she carried gamely on.]
- Um, I'm really grateful for Tomoe-Sempai inviting me and Kamijo-kun here for a dip in the very nice Onsen here -
[And then, she gave Mami a little bow. Mami bowed back with a light smile.]
...So I'm inviting all of you to a cottage my family is renting from some of my relatives for brunch tomorrow! Well, I can change the schedule if it doesn't match your plans, but...
