[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!

[One good thing about the whole Weiss thing? Nobody ever expected you to say anything, though Aya sometimes did anyway and yeah, Ken sometimes wondered how long he'd spent thinking that one up. At least it meant they were spared Youji going on about making girls cry every five seconds or something equally daft.

[Now, in spite of himself, Ken's wondering what he'd say. He can't think of anything good either.]

You want something short. So's you're not off your guard too long. You wanna strike first, right?

[ 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.

Pretty sure yelling something out before you attack them is going to give you away.

And get you killed, in a lot of cases. I don't know about you, but I've found demons don't really wait for a fluttery transformation sequence.
