On being the first muse to DW

[chronorewrite]

I see.

You've brought me here because Sayaka Miki suggested it. I shouldn't have to tell you that taking advice from her was a poor decision.

No matter.

I only agreed to come here because there is mutual benefit. I'm going to look around.

No. You will return to bed; you aren't well and you will only slow me down...

Comments

hello again~

[beknightedheroine]

Hey, my advice is nothing but A+!

I knew you'd be lurking nearby :)

[chronorewrite]

[She flicks her hair casually.]

Doubtful.

[B- at most.]

Still, if you are here then there's hope...

<o> I'm very lurky

[beknightedheroine]

Hope, huh? Careful, you'll wreck your gloomy image saying things like that.

*sets traps for next time* =D

[chronorewrite]

Oh, is that so? I wouldn't expect you to understand.

[She wasn't always gloomy Sayaka! You all just keep dying ;o;]

..hm, that box with a stick holding it up sure looks suspicious

[beknightedheroine]

Ding, there it goes. The image has stabilized!

Expectations and what actually happen are a lot different, you know. But hey, you're right. I don't get it.

_{[Least she's slightly more on the side of 'teasing' than ' verbally lambasting,' right?]}

*sneaks a tuna sandwich under the box*

[chronorewrite]

[Sayaka's words surprise Homura. No one knows that better than her.]

Some things are inevitable.

[She would add how Sayaka was being naive, but she'd rather let sleeping dogs lie.]

/curses,/ my one weakness!

[beknightedheroine]

Yeah, so? The sun comes up and water's wet. That's inevitable, too.

you know you want that sandwich! Take it...taaake it. >D

[chronorewrite]

As are death and despair. Good intentions can only bring sadness.

[She's noticibly sad herself, knowing that everything she's done has only made things worse for her best friend.]

fine but that tuna better be ~dolphin safe~

[beknightedheroine]

And what about bad intentions? Your way, everything's a hopeless loss.

Of course! Of course! Right this way~

[chronorewrite]

...You don't understand my intentions. You said so yourself didn't you?

delicious sandwich get yesss--

[beknightedheroine]

Right, I don't. If they're good, you said it'll just 'bring sadness.' And good's part of an opposites system, so if they're not good, they're bad--

So it's...

_{['Inevitable either way?' Ah, damn, wasn't that what Homura was saying anyway?]}

..it's just a stupid way of thinking!

muhahaha >D *pulls the stick away*

[chronorewrite]

[If Homura was capable of being intentionally smug, she would be right now.]

I never said I didn't have good intentions.

ahhhh nooooo cardboard boxes are inescapable abysses

[beknightedheroine]

...tch...

_{[Help she's sort of understanding Homura and doesn't want to.]}

Yes! I've finally caught a Sayaka! I shall now present you as a gift to Madoka-sama! /o/

[chronorewrite]

...

[Homura says nothing, but her face says "Welcome to the real world Sayaka."]

Have you spoken with Madoka Kaname yet?

[Aww look, she's changing the subject so Sayaka doesn't feel bad.]

tch, using her friend to get in good with her? ~sneaky~

[beknightedheroine]

_{[Can she go to a world a little less 'real,' then...? This one seems pretty defunct.]}

..a little. She was supposed to come to the tower for real, but..

_{[A stiff roll of the shoulders. It's a bad place, and Madoka being there would put her in danger - and Sayaka definitely doesn't believe in the whole world being destroyed thing. ..So it's better for her not to, right...?]}

Best friends give eachother more friends. Isn't that how it works?

[chronorewrite]

It's best that she didn't.

[Said a little too quickly. Homura's thought's were mimicking Sayaka's with the addition of "I would kill you if you dragged Madoka there with you."]

My mundane has thought about transferring me to her school...

[dragonspooker]

Yeah, takin' advice from Sayaka's never a good idea. Probably oughta get you a new mun or somethin' if they're listening to her.

[chronorewrite]

[Completely ignores everything you just said in exchange for-]

Who are you?

[dragonspooker]

The beautiful sorcery genius, Lina Inverse!

[chronorewrite]

[Unimpressed stare.]

Are you a puella magi?

[dragonspooker]

Nah, I don't do that kinda stuff.

[chronorewrite]

So you aren't a magical girl?

[dragonspooker]

Not in the way you know - I am a girl, and I have great magical skill, but I don't do the whole transformation thing.

[chronorewrite]

Yet you still dress strangely.

[dragonspooker]

Hey, this kinda clothing is totally befitting a sorceress like myself where I come from!

[chronorewrite]

All sorceresses dress oddly then? I see.

[S-sorry Lina, she doesn't do it intentionally.]

[dragonspooker]

Hey, don't you talk to me about dressing oddly, kiddo.

[chronorewrite]

[Homura's tone doesn't break it's usual monotone despite seeing how irritated Lina is getting.]

Kiddo? Are you an old woman to address me as such?

[Was Lina trying to make a remark about Homura's outfit?]

Subtlety is a mark of true beauty. I wouldn't expect you to understand.

[Homura flips her hair casually. Is she more annoying than Sayaka yet?]

[dragonspooker]

...o-o...OLD WOMAN?!

[What's this? Lina appears to be almost shaking with anger!

Congratulations!

You found a Lina Inverse Berserk Button! Assign it to C, and use it at any time to trigger a violent explosion powerful enough to convert small towns into craters.]

JUST WHO ARE YOU CALLING OLD, HUH?! I'M STILL A YOUNG, INNOCENT MAIDEN!

[chronorewrite]

[Makes a note of this button for future use.]

[Homura takes a step closer and touches one of Lina's earrings.]

...These are the problem.

[dragonspooker]

[Berserk Buttons! Gotta Smash 'Em All!

[That was...unexpected. Enough that it defused her temper just a bit.] ...what. What's wrong with my earrings?!

[chronorewrite]

... They are enormous.

[She gives Lina a once over.]

... Are you compensating for something else?

[dragonspooker]

WHAT?! What kind of stupid question is that?!

[Says the gal with huge earrings, huge shoulderpads, huge mouth, and rather lacking figure...]

[beknightedheroine]

She's a loudmouth with a weird kind of magic. Nobody important.

[dragonspooker]

NOBODY IMPORTANT?!

[Sure, react to that and don't deny being a loudmouth...]

[beknightedheroine]

That's right~.

[dragonspooker]

I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I AM VERY IMPORTANT, AND WIDELY RENOWNED FOR BEING A SORCERY GENIUS.

[...and a bandit killer, and someone who casually causes immense property damage, and for being flat-chested, and for being so terrible that dragons step around her out of contempt.]

[beknightedheroine]

Okay, okay, Lina. Tell me aaaaaall about your legions of fans.

[dragonspooker]

Hey, I only said I was important, not that I had fans.
