[video] The wrong book

[rockpaperlightning]

[The video feed comes to life, showing a young Japanese school girl with bright yellow hair. She is wearing what looks like a normal school uniform with a big white fluffy sweater over it. There are tears in her eyes and she looks scared out of her wits.]

H-Hello? M-My name is K-Kise Yayoi. Please, w-where am I? [she holds up a scroll] A-A cat gave me this a-and said I-I could use this weird vine...can someone t-tell me how I-[her eyes widen with horror] Did I do the book thing wrong? [more tears fall from her eyes]

I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I-I know th-the fairy said I-I needed to be careful but I wasn't even thinking of a-a-[she is cut off as she cries].

Sssh. Hey, don't cry. You'll be okay.

[ Madoka wishes she could be there to catch those tears right now. ] Kise-chan? I'm Kaname Madoka. It's nice to meet you. I know this is all a lot to take in, but don't worry. No one should hurt you here, okay?

[calms down a tad, at least to sniffling] I-I'm alright...[takes a deep breath] I-It's nice to meet you too, Kaname-chan. [giggles] Well...I think this vine thing just gave me a message. It's a rather nice one too...it's strange, I...suddenly feel a bit safer now. Thank you.

[fatedmagica]

Don't worry, okay? Take your time...

I'll come find you, okay? Do you see anything distinguishable around you?

[rockpaperlightning]

W-Well...[seems a bit calmer, and is even smiling. For the first time she looks around and takes a good look]

Oh...it's so pretty...I'm in a garden! There are flowers and trees, I think I even see a sakura tree!

[fionna_time]

The book thing? Fairy?

Nah, you didn't do anything wrong! You were brought here, just like the rest of us!

[rockpaperlightning]

You were all brought here too? How strange! I do feel a little better now...this place is kind of pretty. I suppose I didn't get the sequence wrong then. Oh! You know, this looks just like something out of a story book! Miyuki-chan would love this!

[fionna_time]

Yep, all of us! We all come from different places and everything! Its not too horrible unless you're really into dudes.

Miyuki chan?

[rockpaperlightning]

[giggles, blushing]

Wow really? This really is something out of Miyuki-chan's stories...sh-she's a friend of mine, one of my closest friends! Oh dear...she and the others will be so worried...

[fionna_time]

That happened to her a lot? Wow!

Hope she'll be ok! Time shifts are weird, I think no time is supposed to past at allm

I dunno, I used to mind, but I really like hanging with gals!

[rockpaperlightning]

Really? No time at all? Oh my! Well, I-I guess that would be quite convenient. This place is so strange. [giggles] Really? So there are only girls here...how odd. But I suppose it's alright.

[A parchment unfurls from the Vine and blackened word appear with the odor of smoke.]

Please don't worry. You've been brought to a new place. It is safe here.

The people here are nice so you don't have to be afraid.

Re: [text]

[rockpaperlightning]

Oh my...[smiles, then taps the Vine for another piece of parchment, and sends a text back]

Thank you very much for your kind words. I don't feel as afraid anymore...still a bit nervous, but so far the people do seem nice. It's rather pretty here...reminds me of the library back home...

[mother_of_god]

There is a library here. I've never seen one that was this pretty.

I'm glad you feel better. I want people here to be happy.

[rockpaperlightning]

There's a library here? Oh that would be nice to look at! It's very kind of you to want people to be happy.

[mother_of_god]

Thank you.

It has a lot of books but not the ones I was looking for. It also has a scary bear, so you need to be careful!

[A new person? Well, Sapphire can't just ignore someone in need, so she'll try her best to comfort this new girl.]

Please don't worry. You're not in any danger, so there's no need to be scared right now. My name is Sapphire, and while I'm new here myself, I'll try to answer any questions you may have.

Re: [Video]

[rockpaperlightning]

Th-Thank you, S-Sapphire-chan. People here have been so nice...I-I do feel better. You are new here too? It is very nice to meet all of you. This place is strange, but it is rather pretty. And at least there are no m-monsters

[Video]

[seraphista]

It is a pleasure to meet you as well.

And no, there aren't any monsters that I've seen so far. I've been told that this place isn't usually dangerous, but I do suggest keeping your guard up, just in case.

Re: [Video]

[rockpaperlightning]

O-Okay. [mutters to self] I won't be afraid. I won't be afraid. [takes a deep breath]

Oh! I wonder if I still have it! [frantically searches herself and brings out a pink, girly looking compact] I still have it! Yay!

[seraphista]

Fortunately, it doesn't seem like our possessions are taken away.

That's very pretty. Does it have a lot of sentimental value to you?

[heartovertime]

[How familiar it was to feel that way, even now over a year later. Homura gives a sympathetic and calm smile in return.]

Don't worry. You'll be okay here.

Re: [video]

[rockpaperlightning]

[sniffles and smiles, seems quite a bit calmer and is even smiling.]

Th-Thank you. Everyone here so far has been quite nice...I don't feel so afraid of this place anymore. It's pretty here. Reminds me of a fairytale! [giggles]

[video]

[heartovertime]

It is kind of like that, usually. It's quite peaceful most of the time. [But not all fairytales are always filled with happiness, she realizes.] Even if something that might be scary happens, we can always make sure you're safe too, Kise-san.

I'm Homura Akemi.

Re: [video]

[rockpaperlightning]

[nods a tad nervously]

Th-Thank you...[has a small, nervous smile] Yayoi Kise. Pleased to meet you, Homura-san.

[video]

[heartovertime]

[Even though Yayoi introduced herself a little earlier, Homura just smiles, not mentioning it. It's obvious the girl is nervous, something Homura is well familiar with.]

It's nice to meet you too. Are you a middle school student too?
