day 205 | action, open to all!
[ amidst the chaos of day 205, there is at least one person who hasn't found time to freak out yet; after all, as far as the pink-haired girl sitting in sector 3's park with a cup of hot chocolate is concerned, today is just another quiet day. she has a warm drink in her hands, cute enough clothing to feel good about it, and she's even shut off her communicator to allow for the perfect relaxation experience.

the bots near her, the ones danging mistletoe ominously? she's just assumed those are decorations. after all, it's not like they could hold any real significance... right? right. so she sits on a bench with her drink, sipping quietly and smiling.

today is going to be a good day - she can feel it.

[It's on her way back from visiting the Kiosk that Homura stops by into Sector 3, wandering in from another sector while processing the issue that's been on her mind. Perhaps it's worthwhile to speak with Madoka about it. Perhaps not. She hasn't yet decided. But nonetheless, a bit of a walk to clear her mind is what she has decided on.

The different robots, they're nothing that has quite has taken much notice from her either, so she approaches only with brief hesitation when she does spot the girl while passing through the park.]


Good morning. [She owes the girl that small bit at least, rather than just dropping in.]

[ the greeting is enough to catch madoka's attention, and when she looks up to meet homura delight flickers over her features. ]

Ah- good morning, Homura!

[ there's a brief hesitation on her end as well, but a moment's reflection is all she needs. she scoots a bit to the left, opening a spot for the other girl on the bench. of course, she can't say for sure that homura will take it at all, but, well - it's always worth a try! ]

[Homura hadn't exactly intended to sit down, but she won't waste the other girl's effort. Smoothing her skirt as she sits down, still processing that other issue, she focuses elsewhere.] I didn't expect to find you here.

Ehh, really? [ she giggles a bit, looking out over the park as she does so. ] But it's so nice out here!

[ ...she notices that something is on homura's mind. at least, she thinks she does - the other girl really is inscrutable, isn't she? compared to when she first met her. so she says nothing, just continuing to focus on the scenery surrounding her and taking short sips of cocoa. ]

["So nice"... It's true there's some realism in the simulated environment. The weather isn't altogether unbelievable. But Madoka seems like she's actually enjoying it here, in the park. No, even in the prison in general. Homura dwells on that for a long moment. Madoka is trapped here forever, for her own sake, but now Homura knows she might be here forever as well.]

Is it that pleasant here? [But when she quietly asks the question, her mind is less on the park and more on the entire complex.]

[ for once, it's madoka's turn to go silent as homura asks her question. (of course, it's not a TRUE silence - she mms and bites her lip and thinks very hard on the subject.) is it that pleasant? well... no. no, it's not. mitakihara was a really pretty place, after all. and this place, as nice as some of the parts in it are... it doesn't have any of her friends aside from homura. It doesn't have her parents. It's a prison, in the end.

And yet, even with that in mind, there are still things she can find to love about it, big and small alike. So she smiles at Homura, even as she shakes her head.
]

Maybe not. But... I think I'm glad to be here.

[Homura turns her head back forward, away from the girl, eyes closing. There's no way it could be as pleasant as with Madoka's family, that's for sure. But she is glad to be here. There's no life for her back home, nothing but an irreversible fate.]

I see. [She falls silent after that, her mind dwelling on all the words she could say.]

[ madoka tries not to think about all that right now - after all, it's a lovely morning, and she's got a hot drink and a friend. isn't that enough right now? she's even been toying with the idea of offering her services to the defense force - of course, assuming that she can figure out just what to do regarding the problem of grief seeds. (she should really ask the wardens about that...)

she glances over to homura and smiles, completely unaware of the bot slowly rolling their way. very slowly, and very stealthily. she just changes the subject instead, only a little abruptly.
]

Thanks again for figuring out the cocoa with me - I'm still not as good at it as my dad, but it's definitely getting better!

It was no trouble. [Barely anything at all to her, considering the responsibility she has taken onto her shoulders.] So long as it helps.

Of course it helps!

[ it may not be a grueling task, but it's often the small things that are noticed. madoka takes another sip, looking down at the mug for a few moments and then back to homura. ]

Um- why did you stop braiding your hair? [ ... ] If it's alright to ask, I mean...

It was a waste of time. [Her words are a little sharper then a moment ago, with little delay after the question. She makes no attempt to meet Madoka's eyes. It's the truth, but hardly all of it; she had to change.]

[ homura speaks up immediately, with tones slightly sharper than usual (if only slightly), and madoka can't help it if she's immediately taken aback. still, she recovers gracefully enough, and with only slightly flushed cheeks she manages a response. ]

I- I see...

[ another sip, this one to buy a bit of time before speaking again. ]

Well, I think- it looks really pretty this way! [ she smiles again, even if she's still obviously a bit flustered. homura's just not a very talkative person anymore, but it certainly hasn't stopped her from trying. ] I mean, it looked pretty before, of course, but I just...

[ in her awkward attempts to explain her words, she doesn't seem to notice the bot rolling closer and closer behind them. ]

[As it becomes clear that Madoka isn't going to exactly stop, Homura interrupts.] It's fine. [There's no need for her to explain what she means in that way. Homura got the point to start with. Not that it's really something she would have agreed with. Cute, maybe to some, but not exactly pretty. They're just childish, something she had to turn away from, to make herself able to fight onward. She couldn't be that sickly, weak girl anymore.] You don't need to push yourself.

[Homura doesn't notice either as the bot inches closer and closer to being over their heads.]

[ she's not pushing herself! or at least, that's what she wants to say. she wants to offer some reassurance to homura, let her know everything is alright...

but unfortunately, the sudden presence of mistletoe above her head derails that thought, along with the mechanical voice that emanates:
]

NOW KISS.

[ for her part, madoka will just sit here, looking stunningly like a deer caught in the headlights. she doesn't even acknowledge the sudden pressure at her back. ]

...eh?

[The instant something seems wrong is the instant that Homura reacts like a well-oiled machine, a switch flipped in her head to react to any and all threats. Looking quickly at the mechanical voice, the bot hovering its green leaves over their head, the girl stands, quickly engulfed in a violet flash. Raising the newly appeared buckler defensively over herself - and Madoka - she prepares herself for a fight.

Her mind hasn't entirely processed the meaning of the words as she does so, but whatever this bot is doing, whether spying or harassing, it is not welcome.]

[Coldly]
Don't come any closer and state your intentions.

[But even she's unaware of the forcefield emitted by the device.]

[ the bot does not respond to homura's aggressions, short of dangling the mistletoe menacingly. it simply sits there - silent, waiting for conditions to be met. meanwhile, that flash of light is enough to snap madoka out of her reverie; she hops off the bench and a small bit behind homura, transforming in a burst of pink as well.

with her bow in hand (but not drawn), she finally asks a more coherent question:
]

Homura, what's going on?

[info]timelesspromise
2013-02-26 10:29 pm UTC (link)
[Homura doesn't ready a weapon except her magic, the soul gem on her hand glowing threateningly. There being no military or organized crime here, her options are a bit limited. With Madoka right there, she can't exactly use explosives, and a golf club or metal pipe is hardly as easy to ready just this moment.]

You can probably guess as well as I can.

[However, another prompt issues from the robot again, commanding them to "Kiss!"

Homura, having been just about to demand a second time freezes staring up at it. Kiss? And the dangling plant is something she just happens to recall having seen in an American film once, the puzzle assembling in her mind with an unshakable sense of dread.]

[ the bow isn't the best of choices either, if she's being realistic - but madoka doesn't exactly have time to focus on that. there's something here, something threatening enough to merit homura's transformation, and it...

...seems to be a bot saying to "Kiss!"
]

Kiss...?

[ madoka repeats the word without immediately processing what it means; she looks to homura, checking that she's okay at first, and then back to the bot, and then finally it hits her. she stammers out a reply - to the machine. ]

I- you're not serious, right?

[ a sudden pressure at her back elicits an 'eep.' just what's going on here? ]

[info]timelesspromise
2013-02-27 10:04 pm UTC (link)
[The shrill noise from Madoka calls Homura's attention away from that word and back to the girl. Making herself as calm - yet alert - as possible she looks to Madoka, though fortunately the girl doesn't look like she was hurt just then.]

What happened? Are you okay?

I don't know! I can't move back...

[ madoka presses backward, the effort clearly visible. whatever is going on, she's encountering some form of resistance.

she looks up to homura, confusion and uncertainty shining in her eyes.

[MOMO gave a small wave to Madoka as she came by, puppy tagging along on her leash. The only other time they'd spoken was through voice, so she didn't realize who Madoka was at first, but Madoka would probably remember MOMO as she disconnects the leash and starts playing fetch with Ume and a ball, calling to the pup by name.]

since the homuthread is in progress, we're just doing ~simultaneous limbo~ if that's ok!

[ madoka notices the other girl mid-sip, and hurriedly swallows so that she can wave back. she... doesn't look too familiar, all things considered, but that's no reason to avoid making new friends! so she watches as the girl tosses a ball to the dog - "ume?" what a pretty name! - before finally speaking up (in polite tones, of course). ]

Ume, right? Is she yours?

She is.

[ madoka stares at the girl for a moment, trying to place just where she's heard her voice - and then it finally hits her. she smiles wide and nods energetically. ]

Mm! I think you helped out when I was having trouble sleeping.

[ ...not that she's much better at this point, but- at least she's getting enough to feel rested! ]

I guess we've never actually met, have we?

I've been here since Day 66.

[So, quite some time.]

It's not so bad, though. I haven't had a lot of bad things happen.

[Outside of being an occasional snack for Diva in the old dome.]

Ah, really? You mean you've been here most of the time it's been around?

[ that's exciting! she kind of wants to ask questions, but that seems rude - she's been stuck here, after all, she doesn't need more reminders. ]

I'm glad there haven't been many bad things, at least.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]pechesagittaire
2013-03-03 05:07 am UTC (link)
[She nodded.]

I guess I have been, yes.

[A bot was watching them now. MOMO didn't immediately detect it in her sensors. They were sneaky like that.]

That's really impressive! Most of the people I know have only been here a few weeks longer than me...

[ madoka doesn't see a thing either, of course. you'd think she would, what with the entire thread with homura above WHOOPS NOT CANON FOR NOW. ]

Sorry, I'm rambling. [ she glances over to the other girl, smiling a bit shyly as she does. ]

When did you get her? Ume, I mean.

It's Sheryl. Sheryl Nome.

[ Leaning back on the bench then crossing her arms and legs.

Somehow --- this young girl reminded her a little of someone. She reminded Sheryl of Ranka. The way she blushed and how cute she is. It was a little nostalgic. ]


And you are?

[ She was mimicking. Madoka is so adorable. She wants to take the little thing away and adopt her.

But since she couldn't do that, she laughed and pats the girl on the head. ]


Do you have any idea how charming you are?

Ah- do you really think so?

[ well if she wasn't flustered before, she certainly is now!! it'd be one thing if it was sayaka - she does it often enough as is! - but this is someone she's not too familiar with, someone a little bit older and really pretty, and she's not really sure how to handle it. so she looks down to the ground, flushing a bright red and not quite responding just yet. ]

Of course. It is my job to know these things.

[ She has to be aware of potential competition of course. Because if she didn't, she wouldn't be on top back home. She didn't underestimate the potential ones and doesn't waste time on those who didn't really have the shine needed to survive in the industry.

Madoka's flushing face made Madoka want to tease her. Using her finger, she lifted Madoka's chin up so she would meet her eyes. ]


You don't believe me? [ Mock disbelief. ]
