—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. ]

Oh.

[That actually seems to disappoint him for some reason.]

[phantasmata]

Hm?

[She leans into the screen a little.] Is something wrong?

[salvagedsoul]

It means I can't be a magical girl too. You can't fight yourself and your family, right?

[phantasmata]

Huh? [Her eyebrows knit together. He looks like a human boy to her, so she doesn't get it.] I'm sorry, I don't understand.

You said, you fight monsters people can't fight themselves. You mean that Lilim can't fight, right?

[Er, wait. No one here seems to know that word.]

--Humans, I mean.

[Lilim. What a strange term...has she heard it before? A moment passes, and Kyouko speaks up, a little awkwardly this time.] Um, that's right. Ordinary people can't see Witches, so it's up to magical girls to fight them.

[salvagedsoul]

Oh... Witches? That's what you mean?

[Kaworu's not a "witch" so maybe that doesn't apply to him.]

[phantasmata]

That's right. [Her expression sobers, by a fraction.] See, they're living curses, and they can hurt people or worse.

[salvagedsoul]

And you fight them. [he smiles the tiniest smile.] That's really... special.
