Tomoe Mami instinctively smoothed out her uniform as she stood up. She believed she did well enough on the test for general knowledge, save for elements that required advanced knowledge that went beyond her own world. The next one... magic.
She took a deep breath, reminding herself she wouldn't see battle ever again. This was part of this world. Akin to the vials she would have to live the rest of her life with.
"I am ready for the test." Mami adopted the same smile, as she stepped forward into the room... taking a quick glance. "I didn't use much magic save for what I personally possessed, but I will perform with what I know."
Her hands hovered over the objects. Many of them resembled the weapons used by other magical girls she encountered. Either as companions she failed to recruit, or people that interpreted her gestures as invasion of their territories.
"Cellphone," Mami began with the simplest ones, "water purifier," the survival tasks, "personal pad," the ones she saw a lot, "computer." Soon, the objects turned different.
"Wave-magnifier." Mami recalled some of these instruments. Music had a special sort of magic in her world. "Rune wand." Others were more obvious to her eyes, seemingly capable of changing things. It was then when she found that odd... box.
Her soul gem seemed to react to the music box to her left. It did the same to many of the instruments Mami saw near that very table. She held her own soul gem in defense... and not knowing what it was, she continued walking.
"It's a music box," Mami gave a terse reply about the object, "I don't know what that is."
That is fine, Tomoe Mami. This test is over - Please come on to the final stage of your placement test.
[The AI holo said, smiling, and then took her over to yet another room.]
Please transform into your Puella Magi form and wait. The program will start tossing several different kinds of magical attacks you way. The magical attacks are designed to be flashy but not dangerous, but you can stop the program any time you want just by saying "Stop Program", none the less.
[Madoka, in the meanwhile, was waiting outside the room, seeing what was happening through a monitor holo window.]
...Go, go, Mami-san!
[She said happily - And that was when she realized that two Incubators were sitting right near her feet! One of them was mussy-fured and had red-brown eyes, while the other one was a cream color and had red-amber eyes.]
- Hello, Kaname Madoka. I see that the new Tomoe Mami has seen our music box thing!
[The cream colored one said, looking up at her with it's red-amber eyes.]
...Hullo, Eight, Seven.
[Madoka said with a sigh - And then, she waved a finger at both of the critters, sternly. These strange AU Incubators weren't very much like the Kyubey she knew, but they still were Incubators, after all.]
- Well, I thought you two'd arrive sooner or later, but don't bother Mami-san for the time being, all right? And no, I don't care how much you want to talk to her and compare her to the other Mami-sans here!
