Vine ||

[ Madoka is situated somewhere in the gardens, having just spent her afternoon tending to her own flowers and searching for others to help her garden. She usually keeps oddly busy, still in a happy daze after being plucked from her unhappy timeline, that this thought hadn't occurred to her before... She's been here for months and there are still so many people she doesn't know very well, if at all.  When it crosses her mind that she's been a bit neglectful, she's quick to tap a Vine. ]

Hello, everyone! Sorry, I hope it's not too early to use the vine? I didn't wake anyone up, did I? [ Her smile is a bit soft, dampened by thoughtfulness and a tinge of worry. ]

This is probably really sudden and kind of weird and random, but I've been thinking lately that I don't know everyone's names! I don't even know what kinds of foods everyone likes or what hobbies they have... I think it would be neat to see what we have in common and talk about things like that, or maybe try new things we never thought we'd try, you know? [ She giggles lightly, perhaps losing confidence in these random thoughts. ]

So... I'll start? I like gardening and crafts! And eating! And I guess I can play the recorder too, if that counts. Oh, and my name is Madoka Kaname! um... what about everyone else? I mean, um well, disregard this if you're too busy but I really am curious!  I really would like to become better friends with everyone...

It's good that you're indulging in your curiosity, Madoka-chan. We shouldn't stop learning just because we're stuck here, after all.

Now then... My name is Suruga Kanbaru. My interests include basketball, reading, and deciding on whether or not I want to top or bottom.

[what?]

[cleaningstop]

I'm glad you asked! My name is Hong Meiling. I'm also a gardener, as well as a gatekeeper!

Although I don't really do much of either now that I'm here...

[fatedmagica]

[ The response is quick, without kittens. ]

You're hurt? Bandages?

Where are you? I can come help you!

[fatedmagica]

Oh, Yuyuko-san, hello there! [ pause. ] It is Yuyuko-san speaking, right?

[fatedmagica]

Witch-

[ Madoka does shudder a bit. Witch back home is a loaded word... But she knows that word is also used for a different kind of witch. Not wanting to be rude, she bites down on her tongue to swallow any frightened reactions and proceeds to carry on the conversation as normally as possible. ]

I-I see! So you use magic too! We have something in common then. Though you're probably a lot more impressive than I am.

[fatedmagica]

Oh, basketball? I've played that in PE! I'm not very good, but if you ever want to play--


hm? Top or bottom? Do you have a bunkbed?

[fatedmagica]

A gardener? Really? That's wonder, Meiling-san! Really wonderful! And a gatekeeper... so impressive! You must be really busy back home?

I am the Duchess Elstwhere, by birth; my name is Catherine. I am an avid reader, a student of comparative religion, a chess player and a pianist.

(All this in a neat, precise cursive.)

[bloomnobly]

Correct. [giggle-giggle.] Your memory is better than mine.

[tookupthesword]

Ah... yeah, I was always wondering how she was going to break that to you. It's something that couldn't keep under wraps for long and it probably would have eaten away at her.

... How'd that go over?

[shanghaiworld]

Oh most certainly. Though I think the kind of magic we have is also vastly different.

[fatedmagica]

Wow! You're really talented! Chess and piano sound really fun, but really hard!

[ By comparison, Madoka's handwriting is childish and messy; that of someone who doodles frequently. ]

[fatedmagica]

I'm sure it is! Mami-san was much better with magic than me, but I'm pretty limited in what I can do. Do you combine your doll making and magic hobbies, by any chance?

[fatedmagica]

Oh, not at all! You just have such a pretty name and face, it would have been impossible to forget!

[ Way to sound like you're flirting, Madoka. ]

[voice]

[cobbledtogether]

...I am Lambda. You are [...] collecting data about the interests and preferences of residents?

[mother_of_god]

I've been hurt for a long time. I'm getting better.

Are you sure you want to come? I'm a witch.

[She... may have a different definition from Madoka's.]

[shanghaiworld]

Why yes, doing so allows me to control their every movement and action. If they were properly sized, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart from a person.

[hopelessdreamer]

Well, since you asked politely...

[they've already spoken, but why not do a proper introduction?]

I'm Gal Cecil. I like building things, especially machines. I'd say I'm pretty good with a sword, and I'm not a bad cook, either.

[reverentresistance]

I'm Ky Kiske. I was a police officer on my world, and before that a knight. It's nice to meet you.

[cleaningstop]

[don't be fooled, she's a total slacker.]

There usually is something going on, yes.

i'm sorry

[reallyerotic]

Not particularly, no. Though it can involve a bed, if you're willing to wait that long.

[fatedmagica]

[ Once again, the word makes Madoka flinch ever so slightly. She feels bad for her reaction, since she knows there is another way to use the word 'witch'... Like in Halloween and other Anime. ]

It's okay. I'm a magical girl! So I guess we have something sorta in common? ♥

[fatedmagica]

[ Changing the topic, even just a bit, helps Madoka to more visibly relax. ]

That's really amazing! You must be talented at making dolls too, then! Do you continue doing that here?

[fatedmagica]

Wow! A police officer? It's so nice to meet you, then! I've always admired the bravery of police officers...

I may not be from your world, but thanks for all of your hard work!!!

[fatedmagica]

Oh, Gal-san! [ She smiles, glad to be properly antiquated now. ] Machines? That's really amazing! I guess that's a bit more than building crafts, huh? [ Madoka giggles at the comparison of their hobbies. ]
