exsilium | video.

—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. ]

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? ]

[ 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.

[ What else is it gonna be HMM?? ]

They are orphans of war or something else? [ She's trying so hard to understand. Oh my god, does she try. ]

[ SABER... Sayaka's supposed to be the weird one!! ]

I don't think it's like that. They're just alone right now, that's all. [ But not on her watch. ] We're magical girls, so it's our job to take care of everyone. We won't let anything happen to them.

[ She's an awkward girl from way too many centuries ago OKAY... ]

Magical girls... is that this world's form of knighthood? [ Because Kyouko and Sayaka do seem kind of knightly right now. ] My brother Kay might like to become one, but the 'girl' part makes wonder...

[ What sort of strange place has girl knights?? Who cares, sign Arturia up. ]

[ Wow, and Sayaka thought she had some weird ideas about things. ]

I'm pretty sure it's exclusive to girls... [ Since, you know, qb never mentioned anything about magical boys. She leans against her sword, probably not doing a whole lot to dispel that knightly image. ] We're kinda like knights, though. We fight for justice [ !!!!!!!!!!etc ], and protect people from monsters.

Then I shall become a magical girl as well. I swear upon this oath!

[ She sounds so excited to do this. ] What should I do first?

Uh... [ Well this is unexpected. ] Actually, it's not that simple. Both of us made contracts with Kyuubey, and I haven't seen him here yet. [ Which... is a little odd, but nothing she can't deal with. It doesn't affect her powers any. ] He's the one who actually makes us into magical girls.

Kyuubey? Who is this Kyuubey?

[ Spoilers: she's butchering the name with her awesome English accent. ] Oh, so he is the one who knights everyone. How wonderful.

I would very much like to meet this Kyuubey.

[ She's trying really hard not to laugh... ]

Sort of, I guess. It's because of him that we have these powers. [ A shrug. ] But I'm not sure you'll be able to meet him. He's kinda invisible to most people.
