004 ʗ ACCIDENTAL VIDEO

[givesahand]

[Sayaka had been thinking for a while, after seeing Mami train and then fight monsters with her at the coliseum. She had been devoting herself to her music lessons, but she realized that she had been neglecting her magical girl duties. After all, a magical girl was supposed to be a hero of justice! She couldn't just forget about it like that.

Plus, without Kyuubey or the Witches... she could have a little more fun with it. The first line of business for her magical girl training crash course:]

... I need to have something to say when I transform to make it more dynamic.

[Yeah. Transformation quotes are always top priority. Sayaka pauses to think deeply for a moment, before coming up with a line. She tries it on for size:]

TRANSFORMATION, HOOOOOOOO! [She trails off, and frowns. That was... horrible.] Nah.

[More thinking! She should use something more eloquent, maybe add a few more words in!]

Uh... Blade and light, cape and knight! CLASH! Swordsman Special Puella Magi Transformation! [Pause. Another frown.] That's too much, and it doesn't even make any sense.

[Ponder ponder ponder. Maybe she should do something more classic, like in those anime shows she watched way back when...]

Sword Soul Gem Power, make-up! Beauty in Blue! [Her expression that followed that line was almost akin to gagging.] Ugh, it just isn't me.

[Some more thinking... Okay! Then how about the modern route?]

Puella Magi Sayaka, target locked on! [The resulting frown on her face indicates she's become more annoyed than before.] That... wouldn't really work, since I'm more of a close range fighter.

[Thinking, more thinking... Maybe if she just changed the last part into something more aggressive...]

Puella Magi Sayaka, breakin' through! [Pause.] Even though it feels like I'm on the right track, I think that line might have been used by someone else before...

[More thinking... More pondering... After several minutes, she grips her head with her hands with a frustrated grunt.]

... Uuuuuurgh! Darn it, I can't think of anything that would make me look cool!

[ Don't mind Homura, she will just be over here.. Silently judging.. Aka, just doing what she always does. It's hard to read any particular emotion off her face though. ]

I doubt something like that is necessary, Miki Sayaka.

[Oh come on, Hameru. You probably did this too back in the second timeline.

Crap, this was on? Sayaka was embarrassed, but... at least it was just the transfer student.]

It's not like there's any Witches here. I'm allowed to have fun.

[ She probably did. And failed pretty hard. But what is admitting anything moemura-related.. ]

I had hoped you would have understood by now that this isn't about having fun. [ Because it's far too easy to get carried away with it and then Bad Things start happening. ]

Well, maybe back in Mitakihara, but things are different here. None of it applies to me anymore.

[Even if she did have a sort-of truce with Homura, this girl still irritated Sayaka to no end.]

Could you please do something pleasant for once and not rain on my afterlife parade? 'Kay thanks.

[homerunmagica.livejournal.com]

I have no intention of.. 'raining on your afterlife parade'.

[ Well, that much is true - it isn't like she's out to actively harass the other girls. Why would she? ]

I merely wanted to make sure you were aware of that fact.

... I am. And I'm saying that it's possible to be an idealistic magical girl in Somarium.

Don't forget to be careful. Do you truly want to repeat the same mistake twice?

[handfulmagica.livejournal.com]

I don't even think we can turn into Witches here. But yeah okay, I'll watch myself.

Don't get too used to the current circumstances. It could be some trick by our captors to lull us into some false sense of security.

Also -- you might want to filter information regarding that sort of thing in the future. [ Because Mami is here, and she doesn't know.. And Homura knows what might happen when that girl finds out. ]
