( When the feed comes on, there’s an awkward sort of sways before it finds a solid place to sit and allow the camera a chance focus on its user. Madoka does not fully focuses on addressing the device at first, instead nervously thumbs at the folded piece of paper she holds in her hands. )

Hello! My name is Madoka Kaname, I haven’t had the chance to meet a lot of you but I hope that can change as time goes on. Today, um, I’m here about starting something that I think might be nice for some of us to do together! Especially now in the times between the missions and when… well, before something else strange might happen.

So, what I had thought of was starting, ( She trails off, fumbling to open the folded piece of paper. ) A cooking club!

( Holding the piece of paper to the camera, all can now see that it is a drawing of a girl (her, perhaps? the pink hair is something of a giveaway) in a rather elaborate pink and white dress holding a cake. The words ‘PLEASE CONSIDER THE COOKING CLUB’ written in large, neat letters underneath. )

There seems to be enough people that enjoy cooking or baking here, so I thought it would be fun to learn from one another. We represent a large number of worlds and cultures, so it’ll be nice to learn about each other while enjoying the foods that make us happy.

Thank you for listening and I hope you consider joining!

( AND ACTION for around the apartment building – maybe you’ve been stopped by this tiny, pink girl to offer you a flier, maybe you notice her taping it to the community bulletin board (… if there is one of those) or see her hustling around with her small stack of papers. )

Cooking club?
Do schools not teach cooking to everyone?

[revelation]

Well in home economics we learn! But, ah, not everyone joins the cooking club, that's just for extra lessons after school.

Oh, that does make sense. Sorry! I wasn't very sure...I've never gone to a formal school like that before.

[revelation]

You don't have to apologize, it's okay. (*≧▽≦)

Oh? Were you home schooled?

[eyecontact]

Something like that :)

[revelation]

Oh, I see! I used to be home schooled, but I was little and just wanted to sleep in later, haha.

[eyecontact]

I don't blame you! Though I never got to sleep in...I'm used to getting up very early now because of it. It's nice to get up with the sun.

*used to want to be home schooled, oops words

[revelation]

It is nice! Though now instead of it being a struggle to wake me up, it's a struggle to wake my mom up. You'd think she was the kid with how much she fights sometimes.

s'all good!

Does she have a job that keeps her busy very late?

[revelation]

Sometimes! And then sometimes it's probably because she has to go out with her co-workers.

( Ah, memories of her poor drunk mother. )

[eyecontact]

That must mean you had a lot to do around your home while she was away huh?

[revelation]

Nothing I couldn't handle! Well, my little brother can be a handful sometimes, hehe. But my dad stays home so it helps a lot.
