[Finally Nagisa managed to put the cake into her mouth] "Cheesecake mama, our favorite!" [Her mother snapped back to reality and looked down at her daughter] "Nagisa..." [she smbraced her] "I'm sorry sweetie, I must have been sleepwalking. But I am all right now. Did you just give me cheesecake?" "Yep! It is a magic cheesecake that I wished for, the talking kitty granted it, and now I am going to be a magical girl and battle evil!" "Ah, how wonderful!" The doctors found them. Nagisa quickly hid the cake magically.
[She lay among her roses, resembling a wilted flower, her breathing heavy] "... It will probably be a good thing I am gone. I was just the cause of problems. He will be better off without me..." She echoed the voice in her mind, her own voice. a small smile appeared on her lips "..but really, what was the point of all of this? This whole world is so ugly. Let it rot, with all its weeds and pests. I shall remain here forever in my beautiful garden..." [ a drifting rose petal landed gently on her pitch black soul gem, and it shattered, a mass of dark energy exploding forth. The remaining pieces formed to make a newgrief seed with the emblem of a rose and a butterfly she screamed in pain, her body writihng, before going limp, an apparition of her floating above and continuing to scream in pain and madness. Her leaf green hair, in witch red roses were sprouting, drooped until it hid all of her face. A thick gelatinous orange texture covered her torso and arms and her legs became like the roots of a plant. Finally Large Green and black butterfly wings emerged from her back. Through the pain and madness her most of her mind and memories of her former life became lost in the darkness.... a name came through... Gertrude, yes, that was who she was. and this was her beautiful garden....
[Gertrude looked at the strange puffball thing with whiskers, curiously.]
...Anthony?
[She said in the Witch Language though she didn't really understand what this thing was at all.]
- Maybe you should go away, Anthony - You'll stop being a cat at all, if you stick by me anymore...
[And she didn't understand just why those words were spilling out of her mouth, either, but she did feel a odd burst of happiness when the thing shook it's head, and jumped into her arms.]
...All right, then.
[She said, and stroked it's fur.]
- Together to the end, eh?
[And back in the hospital...]
[Nagisa blinked as the doctor told her something rather unexpected.]
...You mean - It's OK if my mother eats cheesecake now?
[The doctor looked at her and nodded, sadly.]
- She can eat anything she wants to, now. Within reason, of course - Overeating is no good.
[And then she sighed a bit.]
...She can also go out of the hospital for a couple of days, if she there's anyplace she wants to go to, as long as she takes her medicine. It's OK, I'll just sign the papers, and she can come back anytime she wants to, too...
[Nagisa looked up at him. That was wonderful news!]
[But then...Why was the doctor looking so sad?]
...But...That means she's better, right?
[The doctor looked at her, and then looked at the middle aged nurse, looking like he wanted to hide in a hole or something. The nurse sighed, and turned toward Nagisa.]
- Nagisa-chan...It's not that your mother is better, it's that - We've decided that it's OK if she eats what she wants, and goes where she wants, too. She's also be moving to a new wing of the hospital, and getting a new doctor, though you're staying here with us for the time being...
[And then she sighed.]
...She said she wanted to visit your family's graves, and also that there were some nice Onsens nearby, too...
[And Nagisa felt like her heart was sinking down to her boots.]
[ did they mean that... no, that couldn't be it! mama was doing well, especially now that she had that magic cheesecake!" "It will be all right, sweetie." the nurse said as she tucked the child back into her bed "We decided that your mother is well enough for a vacation! She needs some fresh air and a break from the treatments." "Can I join her?" Nagisa asked hopefully. Even if she was only in the hospital for a few weeks, she already missed her home and her normal life, even school. and a vacation did sound nice. "Perhaps dear. I am sure you could! As long as you continue taking your mesdicine and your diet. now get some rest, it was a strange night after all." [to be sure the nurse administered a bit of sleep medicine and Nagisa soon fell into dreams of sweets and magical girls.
and meanwhile Kyubey torotted back to his base, feeling satisfied [which was not an emotion, he reminded himself] with today. 2 witches defeated, another one born, reinstalling a reborn magical girl and the ptential of her twin, and forming a new contract with new magical girl with very good potential. Time to file his reports, then get some rest. even super powerful intergalactic beings needed recharge sometimes[
[Nagisa was grinning as her mother talked about their plans for their vacation.]
...Well, first we're going to go visit Uncle Kentaro's house and see your Auntie and cousins, and then we're going to go visit the family graves, and then, we're going to go stay at the Taji Onsen Hotel! Doesn't that sound like fun, Nagisa-chan?
[And Nagisa nodded.]
- Oh, yes!
[But then she paused.]
...But...Um...I can come with you, too, right?
[Her mother nodded, patting her head.]
- Of course you can, Nagisa-chan!
[And then her mother looked at her, smiling.]
...Why, just look at you - You look so genki, today! Your color is much better, and you're walking straight, too...
[Nagisa blinked at that - She really did feel much better then she could remember feeling in months, now that she thought about it.]
[And that was when there was a swish, and something white and fluffy came into the room. Nagisa blinked, and looked at her mother, who apparently hadn't noticed anything strange at all.]
[...So the strange white kitty thing was invisible to normal people? Hmmm...]
[The nurse didn't seem to notice the kitty either] "ah, I'm sorry sweetie, but it's time to bring your mother to her treatments!" "Aw, already?" [hermother patted her on the head, smiling] "We'll see eachother right afterwards, and we can talk more about vacation, and you can tell me more about that magical kitty!" "Okay Mama!" "Now then finish your breakdast, sweetie!" the nurse said kindly " Dr Kenzo will be over in an hour for your examination and to deliver your medicine." [After the nurse wheeled her mother out of her room, Nagisa looked over towards Kyubey] "Oh! It's you, maguc kitty! Wait, so, last night wasn't a dream after all?" "No, it certainly was real." [he hopped onto the bed, treading on her legs lightly "See for yourself!" [He nosed her hand. she let out a small gasp of surprise upon noticing the silver ring on her finger with the same markings as on her soul gem] "It is! I have got this and you are here!" [ through her excitement, her stomach grumbled signaling need for breakfats. She looked pon the tray and made a face at the sight of the unappetizing boring, meager food and medicine. She hated this cut down diet! She wished she could have some sweets with it... *pop!* A cheery pink cupcake suddenly appeared on the tray]
Oh! That's a rather interesting manifestation of your Magical Girl powers, I must admit...
[Nagisa looked at the cupcake, and made a face.]
...You mean, my magical powers made this?
[And then she sighed, her entirely body slumping, and said, plantively - ]
...But what's the use of being able to make sweets, if I'm not allowed to eat them?
[Kyubey laughed at that, his tail lashing at her bedcovers.]
- Oh, Momoe Nagisa - Didn't I tell you? You don't have to worry about things like that anymore, at all!
[And then, he poked her with his paw.]
...You're a Puella Magi now - And you don't ever have to worry about getting sick ever again! Why, you'll even be able to heal from injuries which would kill normal human beings right away - It's the truth, you know! You should just wait a see!
Her eyes widened at this "Really? ?" "In fact, the magic is already affecting your body giving you newfound energy. Your illness is clearing up even as we speak." Nagisa sat up, feeling much better. "I am, cured...?" [their conversation was interupted as the doctor came in for her examination. Like the other, he could not see or hear Kyubey] "Good morning Nagisa chan! How are we feling today?"" "Oh much better!" She exclaimed happily "I am a magical girl now!" "Oh you are? how lovely! You do seem to have more energy now. I'd love to hear more about it. but first, it's time for your checkup." Kyubey walked curled up on the windowsill and the doctor cheked her vitals. "Yes, you are doing very well today..." Nagisa instinctively shrunk in fear as he pulled out the syringes. Not those horrid things again! "Hold still nagisa chan, it will be over very quick. " She squealed in pain, cluthing at the pink and brown plushie tightly as the doctor gave multpile shots, administering her medicine and drawing some blood samples.
[The doctor said brightly, and then he patted her head and went away with the the tubes of blood he'd taken.]
[Nagisa sighed, and slumped back in her bed.]
...I hate all those tests...
[Kyubey laughed, and jumped onto her bed.]
But you wouldn't have to take them anymore, once they figure out you're really better, right?
[Nagisa looked at him, and held out her hand. Kyubey looked at it, and snickered.]
...You can pet me, if you want!
[Not that he really wanted her to, but he was willing to put up with her manhandling him if it made her easier to handle, frankly. And this was only a spare body, after all, and one of many. He surely could find some excuse to get rid of it once Nagisa was gone...]
[And then, he grimanced for a moment as a voice ran thought his head. So just why are you so afraid of human cooties, anyway, Incubator?]
[Nagisa, who did not notice his momentary grimancing, grinned widely at his words, and patted his head and back. Pet pet pet!]
...Ohh, you're so soft, Kyubey!
[And then, she paused.]
- But wait - If the magic is making me better, I should be able to make my Mama better with it too, right?
[Kyubey looked up at her, and blinked his red eyes, once.]
...I'm not sure you can do that, Nagisa - Everybody's Magial Girl powers are different, you see. Puella Magi can heal themselves, usually, but healing other people or other living things is a another matter entirely.
[But Nagisa only heard a bit of that part of her stomach grumbled again, remininding her she needed to eat, and more tan the boring hospital glop, so she went to devour her cupcake. It was perhaps one of the best cupcakes she had ever had!] "mmm so yummy! I missed sweets!" [The pain from the shots had already faded, the tiny holes already patched up.] "Now then, to business." Kyubey said calmly, remaining at his spot "You have recived your wish and unlocked your power as a magical girl. It is your duty now, to battle witches." [Nagisa finised her cupcake, crumbs and pink frosting lining her round cheeks] "Eh? Witches?" [An image of a wicked yet beautiful sorceress like from her favorite series crossed her mind] "Yes, that is what they are called. That monster here last nigth was one of them. They are cursed beings of dark magic that bring despair and other negative emotions to humans. They can only be defeated by magical girls."
"then can't you just find my blood samples, if you found the wrong ones?" Nagisa whined, drawing away as the doctor took her arm and prepared it for more shots. She really did not want to go through this again. "Do you have to inject more medicie too?" "No, just the blood." he smiled at her gently "Ready? Hold still please." and there came the shots again. She gave a pained whimper. After some time he was done "And there we go! Good girl" he patted her head He and the nurse left and Kyubey hopped back on at the bed. Nagisa rubbed her sore arm, but the pain was soon ebbing away "Sorry about that, kitty" "Actually, my name is Kyubey"
[Nagisa laughed, and patted him again, dragging him onto her lap. Kyubey twiched for a moment, but then smiled up at her, letting her pet his head.]
...So I'm supposed to go fight Witches, now? Cool!
[And Kyubey nodded at her.]
It's good to see you're so enthusiastic about this, Nagisa!
[And then, he jumped off the bed, and took a "lecturing" pose.]
- Since this is your very first time to actually fight Witches, I've called another Magical Girl to help you out. Real Magical Girls usually don't fight together, but Tomoe Mami has been kind enough to offer to show you the ropes, so...
[Nagisa blinked at that.]
...Wait, you mean real Magical Girls don't usually fight together with their friends? ...But why? That doesn't sound like fun at all!
[Kyubey looked at her with his red unblinking eyes, then.]
- Well, the thing is - Magical Girls need things called Grief Seeds to clean off their Soul Gems when they get tarnished, and the only way to get them is to destroy Witches. And it's one Grief Seed per one Witch, usually - And Witches don't usually wander around in groups as a rule of thumb, though there is sometimes more then one Witch per Witch Barrier, I must admit.
[Like when there was one original Witch plus several Familiars upgraded enough to drop Grief Seeds themselves (which did make them Witches, in his opinion), for instance - Oh, yikes, that was a real nightmare scenario, he'd lost so many Magical Girls before they even came close to becoming Witches that way. And most of the time, they wouldn't even listen to him when he tried to talk about how coorporating with other Magical Girls was actually neccesary every once in a while, either!]
[...Oh, but he wasn't going to start talking about Familiars now - Nagisa was confused enough as it was, he was pretty sure.]
It just makes more sense for them to spread themselves out, I think - I mean, you don't want Magical Girls fighting among themselves all the time, just because they couldn't decide who gets the Grief Seed, right?
[Nagisa nodded] "But couldn't you just clean the soul gem off with soap? Or that stuff that cleans jewelry?" [ah girls have tried that before. yubey shook his head] "No, only the grief seed can. It absorbs all the impurities and such from the soul gem, restoing the soul gem to it's bright state." "Well I suppose it is best to keep it looking pretty" Nagisa looked down at the egg shaped jewel in her hands "It's mroe than hat. The soul gem contains the essence of a magical girl. The more it fades, the weaker you and your magic become. And if it goes completely dark, then you aren't a magical girl anymore" [And of course having enough of the magical girl life, some girls took that to mean simply not being a magical girl and going back to their normal life, so they didn't bother with the grief seeds anymore. How wrong they were.]
Nagisa emitted a shudder of fear. So did that mean that if her magic ran out, she would become sick again, or something like that? No, she had to stay positive] "Well I won't let that happen! I am going to be the best magial girl and save people from the evil witch monsters!" She pumped with energy
[Kyubey smiled at her, fakely, and then he turned toward the window.]
- Alright, then - Let's get out of this building first, and then you should transform and follow me!]
[Nagisa nodded at that.]
...Oh, yeah - It's OK if I go out of the hospital now, since I'm all healthy and all! Right, Kyubey?
[And Kyubey nodded.]
Of course, Nagisa! But now, we should go, right?
[And so she did just as Kyubey said.]
[And about 30 minutes later...]
[Tomoe Mami was glaring at Kyubey, her hands to her hips.]
...Oh, Kyubey, Kyubey, Kyubey - How could you!
[And then she sighed.]
She's...She's just a child, even you should be able to tell that!
...Maa, maa - Calm down, Mami, please, OK?
[Kyubey said, and then looked up at her, trying to make himself look "cute", whatever that actually meant.]
[Nagisa, in the meanwhile, was sweatdropping up a storm. This was not how she had thought her first meeting with another Magical Girl would go, she did have to admit...]
[Still. This was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen, with an air of elegance, maturity sensibility, and knowledge, as well as a kind face. She seemed like a perfect lady, like in those romantic victorian pictures. If this was to be her mentor, Nagisa decided that she wanted to make her proud] "I just turned 10 years old, Miss!" she said, straightening up importantly "I can handle it! Plus Kyubey kitty chose me for this destinty! He believes in me! I can do this, I want to help save people form thiese evil monsters!" [Mami managed a smaile at the little girl. So, she wanted to elp people too? Perhaps, a chance different from the other girls. Maybe this one would work out. Her heart still ached abit from Kyouko leaving...no, this was another chance. and the girl was so darling] "Very well then! I shall show you the ropes]
[Nagisa grinned up and her, and saluted, just like she'd seen some of the magical girls do in the Moonstar series.]
- Yes, Ma'am - I'll be sure to do my best!
[Mami blinked at that, and then saluted back with a smile. So she was a Moonstar fan too, hmmm?]
...Very well, then, Magical Girl Momoe Nagisa - Let's do this thing!
[The first thing Mami showed Nagisa was how to track Witches with their Soul Gems.]
...Darn, this one probably is a newborn, since I never felt it before - But it's so strong! I really do hope we can get it before it starts spawning Familiars...
[Mami said with a sigh. Nagisa nodded, relieved that she could feel what Mami was talking about. And then, she tilted her head, thinking.]
...A Familiar? What's that?
[And then she thought about this some more.]
- And you said it was a newborn? ...Just how do Witches get born, anyway? Do you know, Mami-san?
"A familiar is a minion the witch creates. Though not as strong as a witch and can not place curses on people, they are still a threat that must be eliminated. " Mami explained , following the glow of the soul gem "And I am not sure about the excat origin of witches aside from dark magic, but they go back thousands of years, but magical girls have been there to counter them. As for how they are born, apprently when enough grief and malice and dark magic are condensed, a grief seed is created, and eventually a witch hatches from it. When a witch is defeated, the empty grief seed is left behind. We use those to clean off our soul gems and restore our power and energy. but if even an empty grief seed is left alone for too long, or absorbs too much impurities, the witch will generate again. Before that can happen, Kyubey safely disposes of used grief seeds. An observation; every grief seed contains the emblem of its witch. Like magical girls, each witch is unique, and all are female. Except that all witches are twisted monsters. " [Well not always true. Mami has faced witches that are rather beautiful, but still firghtening and just as fileld with malice. nagisa was listening earnestly, taing in every word]
[Nagisa bounced with excitement] "I am ready!" [They eventually reached a mansion. It seemed to have a large garen, though it was wavering, like under a soap bubble ] "This is it..." she swiped her hand as if opening a door, and a portal appeared, encircled by a kaleidoscope of butterflies ] "Here we go. Stay close to me, Nagisa chan." [and in they went, the scenery around them warping like in the barrier in the hospitsla. this time they were like in a very abstract garden, with references to classic art and other fancy things. Nagisa was tempted to take Mami's hand to guide her. No, she had to be brave and stand on her own here"
[It looked like a large cotton dandelion, with a mustache and leaves andstem, with a butterfly at the base. It wiggled, a high piteched voice emittting from it. they recognized the language as German.] "those must be the witche's familiars." [Mami held up her soul gem and the magic swirled in ribbons and flowers around her into her magical girl form, a lovely stylized gold, cream and brown cadet outfit. She calmly pulled a silver rifle out of her sleeve and blasted at the familiar]
[Nagisa, in the meanwhile, was holding on very tight to the parker of her Magical Girl outfit.]
[Calm down, Momome Nagisa, it's OK, you can do this - Mami-san and Kyubey-Kitty are counting on you!]
[And so she took a deep breath, and pointed her finger at the white thing.]
- Go away, bad thing - I am Magical Girl Momoe Nagisa, and I will never let you prey on the innocent!
[And then, she gasped as a very pretty magical wand suddenly materialized in her hand - And then, a cookie box came falling out of thin air, right on top of her head!]
...What?
[She whimpered as she rubbed the top of her head, where the cookie box had hit her.]
[And then, she picked the cookie boxed up, and realized that it had the same patterns and colors as the patterns and colors of her magic wand.]
[And then it ddawned on her on what she had to do. She twirled around , colorful bubbles shooting out of her wand towrds the familiars. Upon reaching them they exploded, enveloped them, or replaced them with sweets. "Hey! I id it!"

[Not that he really wanted her to, but he was willing to put up with her manhandling him if it made her easier to handle, frankly. And this was only a spare body, after all, and one of many. He surely could find some excuse to get rid of it once Nagisa was gone...]
[And then, he grimanced for a moment as a voice ran thought his head. So just why are you so afraid of human cooties, anyway, Incubator?]
[Nagisa, who did not notice his momentary grimancing, grinned widely at his words, and patted his head and back. Pet pet pet!]
...Ohh, you're so soft, Kyubey!
[And then, she paused.]
- But wait - If the magic is making me better, I should be able to make my Mama better with it too, right?
[Kyubey looked up at her, and blinked his red eyes, once.]
...I'm not sure you can do that, Nagisa - Everybody's Magial Girl powers are different, you see. Puella Magi can heal themselves, usually, but healing other people or other living things is a another matter entirely.

Date: 2014-07-31 06:49 am (UTC)"Now then, to business." Kyubey said calmly, remaining at his spot "You have recived your wish and unlocked your power as a magical girl. It is your duty now, to battle witches."
[Nagisa finised her cupcake, crumbs and pink frosting lining her round cheeks] "Eh? Witches?" [An image of a wicked yet beautiful sorceress like from her favorite series crossed her mind]
"Yes, that is what they are called. That monster here last nigth was one of them. They are cursed beings of dark magic that bring despair and other negative emotions to humans. They can only be defeated by magical girls."

Date: 2014-08-03 05:27 am (UTC)...Oh, so the monster Hanako-neesan was fighting are called Witches?
[And Kyubey nodded, his red eyes on her.]
- That's correct. And since this is your first fight...
[And that is when the doctor running back into her hospital room, panting.]
...Nagisa-chan! I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid we have to take all your blood tests again...
[Nagisa stared at him, and huddled under her blankets, while Kyubey quickly jumped under her bed.]
...But- But I just took them, doctor!
- Yes, yes, I know, and I'm really sorry, but I really have to take them again! The results were all wrong, you see...
[Nagisa stared at him so more, and then looked at the nurse.]
...I'm getting worse?
[The nurse shook her head, looking bemused indeed.]
- Um, no, my dear - It's the other way around, actually!
[And then she snickered a bit. Nagisa-chan really looked so much better, today!]
The results were good, much too good - And now Dr Yamazaki is worried that he had the wrong blood sample checked out, you see...
no subject
Date: 2014-08-03 06:11 am (UTC)"No, just the blood." he smiled at her gently "Ready? Hold still please." and there came the shots again. She gave a pained whimper. After some time he was done "And there we go! Good girl" he patted her head
He and the nurse left and Kyubey hopped back on at the bed. Nagisa rubbed her sore arm, but the pain was soon ebbing away "Sorry about that, kitty"
"Actually, my name is Kyubey"

Date: 2014-08-06 06:34 am (UTC)[Nagisa laughed, and patted him again, dragging him onto her lap. Kyubey twiched for a moment, but then smiled up at her, letting her pet his head.]
...So I'm supposed to go fight Witches, now? Cool!
[And Kyubey nodded at her.]
It's good to see you're so enthusiastic about this, Nagisa!
[And then, he jumped off the bed, and took a "lecturing" pose.]
- Since this is your very first time to actually fight Witches, I've called another Magical Girl to help you out. Real Magical Girls usually don't fight together, but Tomoe Mami has been kind enough to offer to show you the ropes, so...
[Nagisa blinked at that.]
...Wait, you mean real Magical Girls don't usually fight together with their friends? ...But why? That doesn't sound like fun at all!
[Kyubey looked at her with his red unblinking eyes, then.]
- Well, the thing is - Magical Girls need things called Grief Seeds to clean off their Soul Gems when they get tarnished, and the only way to get them is to destroy Witches. And it's one Grief Seed per one Witch, usually - And Witches don't usually wander around in groups as a rule of thumb, though there is sometimes more then one Witch per Witch Barrier, I must admit.
[Like when there was one original Witch plus several Familiars upgraded enough to drop Grief Seeds themselves (which did make them Witches, in his opinion), for instance - Oh, yikes, that was a real nightmare scenario, he'd lost so many Magical Girls before they even came close to becoming Witches that way. And most of the time, they wouldn't even listen to him when he tried to talk about how coorporating with other Magical Girls was actually neccesary every once in a while, either!]

Date: 2014-08-06 06:35 am (UTC)It just makes more sense for them to spread themselves out, I think - I mean, you don't want Magical Girls fighting among themselves all the time, just because they couldn't decide who gets the Grief Seed, right?
Re: 3
Date: 2014-08-09 05:26 am (UTC)[ah girls have tried that before. yubey shook his head] "No, only the grief seed can. It absorbs all the impurities and such from the soul gem, restoing the soul gem to it's bright state."
"Well I suppose it is best to keep it looking pretty" Nagisa looked down at the egg shaped jewel in her hands
"It's mroe than hat. The soul gem contains the essence of a magical girl. The more it fades, the weaker you and your magic become. And if it goes completely dark, then you aren't a magical girl anymore" [And of course having enough of the magical girl life, some girls took that to mean simply not being a magical girl and going back to their normal life, so they didn't bother with the grief seeds anymore. How wrong they were.]
Nagisa emitted a shudder of fear. So did that mean that if her magic ran out, she would become sick again, or something like that? No, she had to stay positive] "Well I won't let that happen! I am going to be the best magial girl and save people from the evil witch monsters!" She pumped with energy
Re: 3
Date: 2014-08-09 07:06 am (UTC)[Kyubey smiled at her, fakely, and then he turned toward the window.]
- Alright, then - Let's get out of this building first, and then you should transform and follow me!]
[Nagisa nodded at that.]
...Oh, yeah - It's OK if I go out of the hospital now, since I'm all healthy and all! Right, Kyubey?
[And Kyubey nodded.]
Of course, Nagisa! But now, we should go, right?
[And so she did just as Kyubey said.]
[And about 30 minutes later...]
[Tomoe Mami was glaring at Kyubey, her hands to her hips.]
...Oh, Kyubey, Kyubey, Kyubey - How could you!
[And then she sighed.]
She's...She's just a child, even you should be able to tell that!
...Maa, maa - Calm down, Mami, please, OK?
[Kyubey said, and then looked up at her, trying to make himself look "cute", whatever that actually meant.]
[Nagisa, in the meanwhile, was sweatdropping up a storm. This was not how she had thought her first meeting with another Magical Girl would go, she did have to admit...]
Re: 3
Date: 2014-08-09 07:20 am (UTC)"I just turned 10 years old, Miss!" she said, straightening up importantly "I can handle it! Plus Kyubey kitty chose me for this destinty! He believes in me! I can do this, I want to help save people form thiese evil monsters!"
[Mami managed a smaile at the little girl. So, she wanted to elp people too? Perhaps, a chance different from the other girls. Maybe this one would work out. Her heart still ached abit from Kyouko leaving...no, this was another chance. and the girl was so darling] "Very well then! I shall show you the ropes]
no subject
Date: 2014-08-10 05:34 am (UTC)- Yes, Ma'am - I'll be sure to do my best!
[Mami blinked at that, and then saluted back with a smile. So she was a Moonstar fan too, hmmm?]
...Very well, then, Magical Girl Momoe Nagisa - Let's do this thing!
[The first thing Mami showed Nagisa was how to track Witches with their Soul Gems.]
...Darn, this one probably is a newborn, since I never felt it before - But it's so strong! I really do hope we can get it before it starts spawning Familiars...
[Mami said with a sigh. Nagisa nodded, relieved that she could feel what Mami was talking about. And then, she tilted her head, thinking.]
...A Familiar? What's that?
[And then she thought about this some more.]
- And you said it was a newborn? ...Just how do Witches get born, anyway? Do you know, Mami-san?

Date: 2014-08-11 07:21 am (UTC)[The explanations the girls made up for themselves where sometimes much better then anything he could imply, frankly.]
[Mami eventually stood up, then, as she couldn't think of anything else that needed to be explained at that moment.]
OK, Nagisa-chan - I'll let you have the Grief Seed this time, if we defeat the Witch, since it's your first battle and all.
[And then she smiled.]
So are you ready, Nagisa-chan?
no subject
Date: 2014-08-11 07:39 am (UTC)[They eventually reached a mansion. It seemed to have a large garen, though it was wavering, like under a soap bubble ] "This is it..." she swiped her hand as if opening a door, and a portal appeared, encircled by a kaleidoscope of butterflies ] "Here we go. Stay close to me, Nagisa chan." [and in they went, the scenery around them warping like in the barrier in the hospitsla. this time they were like in a very abstract garden, with references to classic art and other fancy things. Nagisa was tempted to take Mami's hand to guide her. No, she had to be brave and stand on her own here"
no subject
Date: 2014-08-12 06:00 am (UTC)[Nagisa stared at the whiskeys on the strange round thing, her eye wide.]
...Anthony?
[She whispered - But then, she jumped back, her hands to her mouth, as the thing came into full view.]
[No, no, that couldn't be Anthony, because Anthony was a cat - ]
[- And that thing was not a cat at all, no matter how white and fluffy it was...]
no subject
Date: 2014-08-12 06:05 am (UTC)"those must be the witche's familiars." [Mami held up her soul gem and the magic swirled in ribbons and flowers around her into her magical girl form, a lovely stylized gold, cream and brown cadet outfit. She calmly pulled a silver rifle out of her sleeve and blasted at the familiar]
no subject
Date: 2014-08-13 06:56 am (UTC)[Calm down, Momome Nagisa, it's OK, you can do this - Mami-san and Kyubey-Kitty are counting on you!]
[And so she took a deep breath, and pointed her finger at the white thing.]
- Go away, bad thing - I am Magical Girl Momoe Nagisa, and I will never let you prey on the innocent!
[And then, she gasped as a very pretty magical wand suddenly materialized in her hand - And then, a cookie box came falling out of thin air, right on top of her head!]
...What?
[She whimpered as she rubbed the top of her head, where the cookie box had hit her.]
[And then, she picked the cookie boxed up, and realized that it had the same patterns and colors as the patterns and colors of her magic wand.]
[...Hmmm?]
