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...

I see no issues with a meet and greet in a place as strange as this. To begin, I am Shinbou Oshino. I enjoy donuts, long baths, sword play, and preventing my master from flirting with young girls.

[tookupthesword]

You probably don't know me, but I'm Sayaka Miki, my favorite food is things other people make, so I don't have to do the work and my hobby is making fun of my friend with pink hair.

[fatedmagica]

Ah~ Donuts, huh? You've got really good taste, Shinbou-san!

[ Madoka is all smiles, as she can already see things they connect on. Giggling at the end of the list. ] You have a master? Is keeping them in line difficult?

[fatedmagica]

[ Madoka opens her mouth, about to take this all too seriously, then just grins when she realizes the teasing. ]

Sayaka-chan! Is that so? No wonder you'll even eat my cooking then!

[tookupthesword]

[Hmm, that's not quite what she meant, and then there's what Madoka said... how to approach this...]

Now now, Madoka. You still haven't told me what you like to eat yet.

[By shifting the target.]

[damaged_goods]

He is quite the handful. Always chasing after small girls despite the fact that he has a girlfriend.

[fatedmagica]

Huh? Oh-! Right! Sorry, Sayaka-chan!

Well, let's see... sweet potatoes... New Years mochi... hot chocolate... Oh, s'mores are interesting, and I like shaved ice in summer? [ Basically, Madoka here loves food. ]

[fatedmagica]

O-oh gosh! She's okay, right? I mean, she understands he must love her the most even if he's goofing off, r-right?

[The Vine unfurls a parchment, a whiff of ashy scent hovering on it. Burned into the surface:]

My name is Che Alessa Gillespie. I like to draw, read, and play cards.

[damaged_goods]

I don't know sometimes -nor do I care for his girlfriend in the first place- it seems there are other girls whom he has strong feelings for.

[fatedmagica]

[ Madoka reads it, considering for a moment before responding; she's trying to write back on the vine, since this 'Alessa Gillespie' mentioned liking to read. So the parchment gesture will be returned after Madoka finds the pen. ]

It's nice to meet you, Alessa-san! I don't know many card tricks or games or anything... could you teach me? [ And she includes a doodle of a smiling kitten. ]

[fatedmagica]

That sounds pretty complicated... you must be really tough to put up with all of that. I hope it isn't too stressful.

[mother_of_god]

[OMG cute! Alessa is thrilled.]

I think we would have to meet. It's hard to tell things like this.

It's hard to play cards anymore.

[In response to the kitten, another kitten. The drawing isn't very good, but she tried.]

[damaged_goods]

Living for a few centuries numbs one to life's little nuisances such as these, I imagine.

[tookupthesword]

Madoka, one of those is a drink.

So... been busy lately?

[fatedmagica]

Centuries..? Wow, hey, are you meaning you've really lived for centuries?

[fatedmagica]

Oh...? Well then, maybe with a lot of marshmallows..?

[ She gives a nod in response. ] Homura showed me the garden we were keeping together... I've been talking to her a lot about what I was doing the last times I was here. I can't believe how busy I was!

[fatedmagica]

[ Madoa is thrilled to get a kitten back! She feels bad when she realizes her response is a bit slow; she drew their kittens together this time. ]

Really? I'd love to meet up with you!

Why is hard? Maybe we can make it easier together, somehow.

[tookupthesword]

Maybe I should throw Kyoko at you for a day and see what you two do with food.

Ah, yeah. Homura lived with you... her... whatever, back then, so she would probably know better than me. Though... what exactly has she told you?

[mother_of_god]

[KITTEN PARTY]

It's hard to meet up with people. I need help getting out.

I can't move my fingers because of the bandages.

[damaged_goods]

That I have, and I must say it has been a rough journey living for so long.

[bloomnobly]

I believe we did already trade names, Kaname-chan. Ah, can you remember what mine is~?

[shanghaiworld]

[Ah, now Alice once met and talked with one of the Madokas of before. And managed to freak her out, with just what she is.

Let's be a jerk and see if we can make it two for two.]

Alice Margatroid, hobbies include making and maintaining dolls and magic, as I am what you may consider a witch.

[fatedmagica]

That's amazing..! I imagine so... You must've seen so many things over the years!

[fatedmagica]

O-oh, well... yeah, about that. She's told me a lot, but uh...

[ She wonders if Sayaka ever knew about the dating... probably, since she is Madoka's blue bffle. ]

I guess I should let you know she's told me about how we were girlfriends and, well... [ Madoka laughs shyly. ]
