—It's okay! We don't have to keep this stuff a secret.

[ THAT SURE IS A GLOVED HAND COVERING THE CAMERA but never fear, she figures it out after a moment and waves sheepishly. Exsilium, say hello to one half of your new magical girl duo. ]

Looks like there's been a bit of a problem, huh? Lucky for you guys, magical girl Sayaka is here to take care of everything! [ She holds her sword up with a grin, cape fluttering behind her. ] Just leave it to me! If anyone needs any help, I'll definitely be there straight away.

[A second later, another little magical girl face pops up. There's some fumbling around when she and Sayaka nudge shoulders and push together for room, and then she clears her throat and begins, nervously:]

If you say so...are all other magical girls this flashy?

[Mami-senpai had not mentioned it. She had also stressed the importance of keeping their magical girl personas a secret, but surely in this strange place, it wouldn't matter much, right? ...She hoped so.

Kyouko bows her head toward the camera politely, and speaks up a little louder.] Excuse me, everyone! I don't mean to be too forward, but...

[She straightens up a little, gets her game face on. She's holding a spear about twice her size, but it doesn't look like she's struggling to hold it.] We noticed there are a lot of kids around, and we want to help! So - please count on us! We'll help gather all of them up.

[A pause. She turns to Sayaka, and in a stage-whisper:] Did that sound cool enough?

You sounded fine! Geez, Kyouko, you worry too much.

[ ooc; tags will come from both in separate threads! edit: threadjacks are happening. feel free to action it up if you run into them anywhere in the hold, they will be all over. ]

[supitslilith]

Oh hey you're that girl.

[And you seem happier or something.]

Still up for those sword-ass-kicking lessons?

video because she's too stupid to change it

[fortissimos]

[ vvvvaguely familiar voice but she can't place it. Have a confused stare! ]

What lessons?

action;

[phantasmata]

[Kyouko is trying not to worry, honest. But after a while, her eyebrows knit together, and she admits:]

It's just, my senpai - she told me keeping this sort of thing a secret was really important.

[Rubbing her forehead...] I don't want to let her down.

action;

[fortissimos]

This place is different from back home. If we're gonna help people, they need to know they can trust us.

[ Have a friendly forehead poke, Kyouko. ]

Don't worry. I bet she'll be really proud of you.

video

[salvagedsoul]

Am I supposed to go with you, then?

video

[phantasmata]

[Oh boy, a little kid! Kyouko waves, trying her best to look like THEY'VE TOTALLY GOT THIS.]

That's right. Me and Sayaka'll keep an eye on you so you won't get hurt.

video

[fortissimos]

Yeah, that's right!

[ HANDS ON HER HIPS with the biggest grin ever! ]

Are you okay? If you tell us where you are, we'll come find you.

action;

[fruition]

Sayaka-chan? Kyouko-chan?

( well, someone has been out for most of the day trying to get used to the fact she woke up capable of flight. there was a whole trunk full of things, her appearance and memories are another story, but Madoka is sure that all of this isn't something that happens overnight!

and with Kyouko's worrying words still in her mind from thier conversation, frankly she is a little surprised by this sight of the two together like this.

so, with a bit of a wobble to her landing (gotta get used to that) she give them a curious look. )

What are you two doing?

action;

[fortissimos]

Wh— Madoka?!

[ Don't mind Sayaka just falling on her butt in surprise. HOW EVEN. ]

W, we're helping people! What the heck are you doing? [ WHEN DID YOU CONTRACT AND WHY ARE YOU SO PRETTY ]

video;

[chubbybun]

From what I have observed, flashiness does seem to be a prerequisite to being a sorceress. I could not tell you why.

video;

[fortissimos]

It's so we look cool! Wouldn't being saved by a super awesome magical girl be really exciting?

[ intelligent reasoning itt ]

video

[pioncoiffe]

Magical girls?

[He. He totally isn't excited. At all. Seriously. That must be some other purple-eyed prince. As for the rest--]

Do you need help rounding people up? I don't have anything else going on, so I could donate my time if it's needed.

video

[fortissimos]

That's right! Just like the ones you see on TV.

[ Excitement is a totally natural reaction to their swag. She grins, raising an eyebrow. ]

Hmmm, I don't know. You look more like the kids we've been helping out. Maybe we should be rounding you up too.

[action]

[babykastel]

[ There's a light tugging on the ends of Kyouko's magical girl outfit/Sayaka's cape. Look down and they'll find a tiny blue-haired girl, who looks like she may only be in kindergarten. ]

[action]

[fortissimos]

[ Damn Sayaka, you must be must be slacking off if someone can sneak up on you like that. She blinks, then bends down with a grin. ]

Hey there! Is everything okay?

action; also I don't have a super special cool event journal OOPS

[ex_cashcow493]

Forgive me for asking, but why do you intend to gather all of the children? Should they not return home to their parents in this land?

[ Arturia's seen a lot of strange villages in her time, but she's never seen one as complicated as this. They didn't even put a handle on the tiny shield she carries (yes, the tablet is now a shield WHAT NOW) nor give her any sort of weapon. So when she hears about "magical girls" and sees the pair? Well, she just has to talk to them.

... So what better way than to confront them on their plans to kidnap? ]

action; it's okay neither do i

[fortissimos]

[ A shield... Saber no... ]

They aren't from here. Nobody's found a way out yet, so we'll look after them until their parents show up.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... You two are scary!

[fortissimos]

No way! We're not like that at all. [ SO CONFUSED ] There's nothing scary about wanting to help people, right?

[video]

[petitfairy]

[There's a frail-looking girl in ragged clothes looking at the feed with wide-eyed curiosity. A very young one at that.]

O-Oh wow! Your clothes are very pretty...!

[video]

[fortissimos]

Yeah, they're totally awesome. [ The advantages of picking your own outfit! She does her best to look reassuring, though, because this girl looks more beat up than the others. ] Are you okay? We're here to help, so you can tell us if you need anything.

[Audio]

[strategic_guile]

A magical girl? I have a feeling that means something different than the image that pops into my head.

video on her end because she's dumb

[fortissimos]

What kinda image is that?

action;

[emptysword]

[He noticed their earlier post, and definitely noticed the fact that they're running all around the place-

Well.]

Hoh, and what are you two doing, if I may ask?

action;

[phantasmata]

[You know who's happy to answer that? This kid.]

We're trying to find any lost children so we can make sure they're all safe and in one place. Have you seen any kids around?

video

[peachbaths]

[ This Kougyoku... is different. Not that Sayaka and Kyouko can tell. Tiem shenanigans can do things to a person. ]

You're gathering children, you say? [ Kougyoku smiles politely. ] If you find one with long blue hair in a turban, you will tell me, won't you? I've been so worried about him.

video

[fortissimos]

Don't worry. Now that we're here, everyone's gonna be fine.

[ Sayaka, sounding confident? Blasphemy. She might as well get some details while she's at it, though. ]

What's your name? I can let you know if I find anyone like that.

video;

[quickquotes]

Don't you think saying 'magical girl' is a rather convoluted way of going about it?

video;

[fortissimos]

Huh? [ COMPLETELY BAFFLED ] But that's what we are! There's no other way to say it.

action;

[endured]

( man, what did Hope walk onto? He was just trying to track down the others, but this display admittedly caught his attention for a number of reasons but perhaps most importantly- )

Magical... girls?

action;

[fortissimos]

Yep! [ STRIKING A POST she is so into this, okay. ] Usually we're a little more secretive about this stuff, so you probably haven't seen one before.

Action;

[scarletrequip]

Sayaka?

[Erza hadn't seen the earlier network post, so it came as a surprise to see the two girls, especially Sayaka, in costumes running around the Hold.]

What are the two of you doing?

Action;

[fortissimos]

[ Well, she'd announced her name over the network, so it isn't too strange that people seem to know it. Erza looks slightly familiar, but... she can't place her. ]

We're keeping everyone safe! There's a lot of kids around, so we figured they'd need some extra protection.

video;

[bittertears]

Rather diligent of you both, I would say.

video;

[fortissimos]

It's our job! [ Sayaka may or may not know what diligent actually means. ] We don't know how long we're gonna be here, so we don't have any time to waste. There's a lot of people who need our help.
