magical girl mini event 1

[soulping]

You find yourself on top of a building. There's no goodies, no sign of even the echo themselves, but the rooftop is a tiny greenspace complete with flowering bushes, a tiny pond and a few cooing pigeons. It's an empty, miniature garden overlooking a busy city.

Below you, the streets are packed with cars jammed in stop-and-go traffic. People throng the sidewalks as they walk to and fro, talking on their cell phones, looking at their watches, hurrying to catch a bus or train. Adjacent to you are yet more buildings, some towering far into the sky and decked with giant tv screens mounted to their sides. Blaring lights and music and moving pictures pierce the quiet of the cool twilight sky.

Take a moment to appreciate the peaceful modern life around you.


[ Welcome to your mingle! It will last an hour.]

...Did yours die when you were little too?

Re: DISCUSSION

[kungfusion]

Oh! No... [ Boy, does she feel like a heel now! And she's showing it by rubbing her arm all forlornly. ] I just... haven't seen her or... any of the rest of my family since I was accepted into Ryuzanpaku.

I'm sorry about your mother.

Re: DISCUSSION

[secretofthefox]

Ah, it's fine, it's fine.

Sucks that you're separated from your family, though...

Re: DISCUSSION

[kungfusion]

[ okay but one of these days I'm going to remember it's RYOzanpaku ]

It's fine. It's for our benefit, after all. That way, we are not distracted from our dueling. I'll see her again once I become a pro.

Re: DISCUSSION

[secretofthefox]

Dueling? What's that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[kungfusion]

I've found it difficult to explain to those who aren't aware, but... [ She pulls out her deck and fans out the cards. ] This is what we in my world use to duel with. It's a competition of both physical and mental skill.

[peer]

...Oh, so it's like a TCG. Cool!

[not even going to question why you're going to a school for a card game, he plays a video game for the fate of the world]

Re: DISCUSSION

[kungfusion]

[ Yeah, it's basically the same! ]

Do you not have any relatives you could talk to to get to know who your mother was better?

Re: DISCUSSION

[secretofthefox]

Well I mean, there's my dad. But he's never around.

Re: DISCUSSION

[kungfusion]

I see.

Then, I'm sorry that we seem to be... going in another direction. It's... important to know where one comes from.
