001 [Video]

[facaded]

Good afternoon, everyone. I haven't introduced myself, so I thought I'd take the time to do so. My name is Mami Tomoe and it's a pleasure to meet all of you. If you need any help adjusting to this place or anything at all, please let me know right away. I'd be happy to help, and in a new and unusual place, it's important that no one should feel abandoned and alone.

[ She takes a deep breath, the next part of her speech making her feel quite a bit uncomfortable and nervous. But she couldn't let Sayaka down. She promised this, and she had to do her best to make it a reality no matter how much other magical girls had let her down in the past. ]

While this would normally be kept a secret, I have decided, along with a college of mine, to reveal to everyone that I am indeed a magical girl, a puella magi as we call it. I made a wish, and in return, I was given magical powers to help protect people.

I don't particularly mind if you don't believe me, though I have been made aware that there are magical girls here from other worlds besides mine. You don't need to address me right now, though I'd like to have a party in the near future so we can introduce and meet each other. I would like for us all to work together, so if you have an interest in that, I do hope that you will attend my party. If you'd like to keep your identity a secret, we can also arrange for that as well.

[ She shuts the feed off, wondering if she's doing the right thing or not. But if Sayaka is backing her up on this, it can't turn out that bad... right? ]

What sort of magical powers?

[facaded]

Magical powers used to defeat witches. They differ between girls, but I tend to use ribbons for most of my attacks.

[ Which, you know, turn into guns. But telling everything ruins the fun! ]

[yurick]

. . . witches. [ Ribbons. ] Well, it's not the strangest thing I've heard. I just don't see what's so special about them.

[facaded]

It's not special, though it is unusual where I come from, there aren't very many of us and we keep it a secret.

[yurick]

And that's supposed to be an easy secret to keep?

[facaded]

I never said anything about this was easy.

[yurick]

Okay, then.

. . . I'm assuming witches mean something else to you than they do to me. [ Because otherwise she'd be hunting people and that's bizarre for little girls to be doing. ]

[facaded]

Probably. In my world witches are created from the negative emotions of people. They go around causing havok and drive innocent humans to die. I have heard that in other worlds, witches are simply people that practice magic and this is not what I'm talking about since by that definition I would be a witch myself.

[yurick]

Sounds about right. Well, they're not made up of negative emotions where I come from, and they're typically not "people," but witches are beings capable of magic. Usually of a destructive nature.

So then, magic is not commonplace at your . . . place?

[facaded]

Magic is anything but commmonplace in the world that I come from. I know only a handful of girls my age who have been given similar abilities as myself. You sound a bit more familiar with it than I do.

[yurick]

I wouldn't know anything about your brand of magic, but [a slight pause, and still rather disinterestedly:] mine is the opposite. Anyone can learn. Monsters, too.

[facaded]

That does make things quite a bit different in your world. I had no idea that such things existed beyond my own world. In fact, I didn't even know other worlds existed aside from my own.

[yurick]

[He shrugs. Most of the surprise he had wore off a while ago; he keeps the rest inside.]

First time for everything, I suppose.
