We're both musicians, and we're supposed to play a gig at the Plum Blossom Watching Mini-Halloween Party!
[And then, he handed the blue haired girl one of the pamphelets for their CDs.]
...The what party???
[The blue haired girl laughed, and then told them how to get to the room the party was supposed to take place in.]
- So you're the Vocaloids, huh? Cool!
[And then she grinned at both of them.]
...My name is Miki Sayaka, by the way - And I might come and see you two sing at this party, depending on how things turn out.
[Sayaka was not at all sure about what Kyousuke would feel about attending any party with live music involved, in his current state, but...]
...It's good to meet you, Miki-san! And thanks!
[Len smiled at her. So did Rin, though her smile was a bit forced.]
[The girl was giving her an odd feeling - Like she could see something white and fluffy walking over the poor blue-head's grave. It was pretty creepy, to be honest.]
[And under one of the hospital couches...]
[A red eyed critter with white fluffy fur was looking up at the blue haired girl, wondering if she would be worth Contracting. Probably not, he decided eventually with a yawn - She did have some potential, but not enough of it to risk doing anything to mess up his current plans.]
[He'll think about it later, in a couple of months, if things turned out the way they thought he would, he decided - And then, he closed his eyes, and curled up into a fluffy ball.]
"Nice to meet you too!" Sayaka gave a little wave asshe stood up "I'll try to drop by the party later after I visit my friend. Heck, maybe we can try a jam session sometime" "yeah, looking forward to it!" Len waved back as she walked away "she seemed nice." "yeah... funny enough that we ran into that mermaid today..." He noticed her expression "something wrong Rin?" "hm? what?"
[and meanwhile Miku was working on the mystery of Hanako's death as she hacked into the files of her morgue records with her magical girl abilities. Hm, this was strange. Aside from signs of emotional stress, there seemed to no damage to be body at all. Like her life simply vanished...]
[Rin stared at him, and then, shook her head. At first, it had been just been the creepiness, but now... Why the heck did she keep getting images of the blue haired girl as - as some kind of mermaid demon, anyway?]
- I don't know, and I don't wanna know, either.
[And then, she sighed, and patted her guitar case. She bit her lip, trying to remember when she and Len had finally managed to buy their matching guitars, and how happy they'd been, then.]
[The future had seemed bright and shiny, then, like a road that went on for ever and ever and ever.]
[Rin groaned, then - Her...No, their future was still bright and shiny, of course - what the heck was her subconsious going on and on about, anyway?]
...C'mon, Len - Let's just get this gig on the road, OK?
[And in the meanwhile, in the computer room of her house...]
[Miku was biting her lip as her fingers danced over her magically argumented computer's keyboard.]
[There was something - And then, a image popped up, right on her computer.]
[Someplace inside a white room...]
...It's so weird...
[A handsome man in his early 30s in a white labcoat said, taking off his gloves and washing his hands with disinfectant.]
- She was still a teenager, and totally healthy! Why is she dead in the first place? And that strange pattern on her finger - It's just like that weird case we got about six years ago. What was it called, the Saito Kiyomi case?
[A older man, also wearing a white lab coat looked at him, and bit his lip, looking a bit grey.]
...Um - Let's not talk about that one, OK?
[The younger man raised his eyebrows.]
...But Kamada-san - You actually believe in curses and all that rot?
[The old man mopped at his brow, grimacing.]
- Try dealing with 2 suicides and 4 mental breakdowns in a space of less then 4 months, and you'd start believing in curses, too, you young idiot!
[And back in her room...]
[Miku blinked at that. Haaah? That was interesting, indeed...]
[The party was starting to get underway in the event hall. It was a fairly good turnout, with hospital staff who werent busy, patients who were well enough to leave their rooms and visiing friends and family. Nagisa was pacing about in excitement while everyone told her how lovely she looked in her costume. Mami told her it was best to conserve energy as much as possible from their magical girl outfit, so she had modified one of her lovely dresses from when she was her age into a magical girl princess outfit. Nagisa tired to see if her mother had made it.
"Well it is a big metroplois, " "what of the people who were perfectly mentally healthy right before? " the older doctor continued "And some had woken up with little memory of what happened, as if they were in a trance! "
...And anyway, what does Mitakihara being a big city have to do with anything, anyway? It's not like we're the only morgue around, after all - And we weren't even particualarly busy when our people started to drop like flies!
[The younger man stared at him, then.]
...Wait. You mean - You were talking about the people who worked here!?
[The older man groaned.]
- And their families and friends, yeah.
[And then, he wiped his neck again, and wrapped the towel around his neck.]
...I'm not even sure it was just two suicides and 4 mental breakdowns, now that I think about it - Our turnover rate went up the roof that year, you see...
[And in the hospital...]
[Nagisa fidgeted in the new Magical Girl Costume Mami had made her. Where could her mother be?]
[And then, she heard her mother's voice.]
...Nagisa-chan? I'm sorry I'm late -
- Mama!
[Nagisa cried out, and started to run toward her mother - And then, her face froze.]
[Her mother was in a wheelchair, her hands twitching on her lap. Nagisa stared for a moment at the nurse pushing her wheelchair, and then bit the inside of her cheeck and took a deep breath - She couldn't let her Mama see how upset she was, after all.]
[It wasn't like her Mama wanted to be stuck in that wheelchair again, right? Right.]
[And so, Nagisa pasted a wide smile on her face, and ran over to her mother.]
"but of course, my dear!" her mother hugged her with her thin arms "I wouldn;t miss this fun party! " she sat back, looking her over "ah you look so pretty!" Nagisa giggled and twirled the frilly ornge skirts of her dress "Mami nee chan made it for me! " "She did a good job" her mother chuckled and patted the cowboy hat on her head "I didn't have time to get a costume for this, but at least I got this hat!" "It's a fun hat!" [Mami watched them with a soft smil]
[And then, soon enough, it was time for Rin and Len's mini-concert to start!]
[Rin and Len looked at each other.]
Alright, everybody! We're first starting out with one of the very first songs we became famous for - Childish War!
[And then, they started to sing. Nagisa sat at her mother's side, humming along with the music.]
[In the meanwhile, outside the room...]
[Sayaka was pushing Kyosuke's wheelchair toward where the party was taking place.]
...Come on, Kyosuke, you'd love it, I just know it!
[Kyosuke looked at Sayaka and just sighed. Sayaka was his friend, he'd known her for ages, but - Sometimes, she was just so...]
[But no - Sayaka would be hurt if he said anything, and then, even she'd start to avoid him and stay away from him, just like everybody else seemed to, and -]
[No, no, no - Kyosuke shook his head. The doctors hadn't come out and told him there was no hope yet, right? ...Right?
[And that was when a nurse came walking their way, a blank look in her eyes. Kyosuke blinked, and then narrowed his eyes - What was that strange dark smear on the poor woman's neck, anyway?]
[Nagisa was danciing to the music giggling and having lots of fun. At some point she had a clumsy moment and stumbled into a frail and timid looking young teen girl sitting in the corner "Oops! Sorry! didnt mean to!" she bowed in apology "i-its ok..." the girl mumbbled , fiddling with her red framed glasses and long dark braid. Nagisa was about to ask her name when she felt her soul gem ring tingle on her finger, signifying the presence of a witch related something nearby
[The girl sighed and turned away sadly] "No. That would be a stupid idea... besides, it's notlike there's anybody who really cares whether I had a healthy body or not..." [Kybey crawled up onto one of the plum blossom trees and studied her. Yes, this girl had quite good potential! He would have to keep her under consideration for contract eventually...]
[And that was the exact instant when something rather strange began to happen, even by the standards of a well experienced Incubator.]
[The long haired girl with the glasses started to shine in his eyes, faintly - And what was that strange blip he was feeling?]
[Sayaka, still pushing Kyosuke's wheelchair along, blinked and shook her head.]
[...Why were her hands so shiny? She wasn't actually glowing, was she? - And what was that odd image of her friend Madoka with a strange white critter on her lap, that kept flickering through her mind?]
[Mami blinked for a moment, out in the corridors - And so did Nagisa, though they still weren't close enough to see each other.]
[...What was this shiny aura, and why couldn't anybody else seem to see it?]
[And on the small stage inside the room...]
[Rin's eyes widened, and then went blank, even as the people at the party cheered and clapped.]
[And then, she looked straight at Kyubey, who was still sitting on the plum tree.]
...And so it begins.
[She whispered - And then her blank eyes grew cold and triumphant.]
- And you have no fragging idea what's coming down the road now, eh?
[but the strange feeling was gone just almost assoon as it appeared.. the girls were all confued about it] "..strange.." Mami mumbled "perhaps i sould ask Kyubey about it..." [Kyubey twitched his nose. Was that a twitch in karmic reality, signalling something? He would have to look in on this.]
[And suddenly Rin's eyes rolled back and she collapsed] "Huh? Rin!!" Len knelt down "Whats wrong!!" [a doctor ran over] "what happened?" "I dont know she just fainted!"
[Kyubey jumped off the plum tree, and rolled beneath one of the sofas again, thinking.]
[The girl with the glasses and long dark hair had shone like a star for about 20 seconds - And now, her Karmic Potential seemed to have been bumped up, just a wee little bit.]
[And the Rin girl had been mouthing something odd at him, too, before she collapsed. What was "coming down the road", again?]
[Hmmm... Maybe the girl with the glasses made some kind of life changing decision, right now? That could do interesting things to one's Karmatic Potential, sometimes...]
[Though on the other hand, the she didn't look like she'd made any kind of decision about anything. She'd been staring at her hands as they glowed, so it did seem like she could see herself glowing, but...]
[But on the other hand - Perhaps it wasn't that the girl herself had made a decision? Somebody else might have decided something on her behalf - Or decided something that would affect her strongly, anyway.]
[And that was when Mami came back into the room, followed by Nagisa.]
[Kyubey almost got out to talk to them, but then paused, and looked at them with his impassive red eyes again. Wait a pico-second now - Had their Karmatic Potential just blimped up a bit, too?]
[This was strange indeed...]
[And on the stage...]
[Rin's eyes fluttered.]
...I miss you.
[And then, she sighed.]
You betrayed me, and yet, I miss you anyway. Come back to me, my shadow, my mirror image...
[Len blinked at that - And then, blinked again, as his vision swam.]
...No, my Liege, my sister - I want you to come back to me. All right?
[And then Len suddenly fainted as fell, draped over his sister. The doctors quickly acted to get to treating them while the rest of the staff tried to assure the party attendants that things were all right.
Meanwhile ngisa and Mami were following the signal of the witch. Nagisa looked really worried] "Not another witch here! Its not right, this is a place where people can get better!"
