You are a Magical Girl, and in the horror-filled hell of her own barrier - you've finally found your sempai(One of her, anyway, there's supposed to be four).

Chiaki Matsuda, or as the pink-haired eldritchian nightmare calls her, Homura-chan.

The girl you've written and drawn a twenty-six volume manga about, your own way of contemplating what could have been, what you wish could have been.

The girl who, upon your first meeting, shot your legs off. She got better afterwards, though, and saved your life more than once. Taking you (albeit reluctantly) under her own wing as a subordinate.

The girl you confessed to, in the dimly-lit darkness of a private plane's passenger cabin. She didn't exactly return your feelings, but she didn't turn you down, either.

And even though her memories seemed to have been reaved clean because of whatever Kharn and Souji did to her - she was the girl who staunchly defended you against your former Incubator. Refused him point blank when he offered to trade for you. Laughed at his threats when he attempted to scare her into surrendering you.

Things between the both of you could not have started off worse.

But it all worked out, somehow.

And now you're one step closer to rescuing her.

Saving her from herself.
>>
>>22037900

This particular fragment of her - you think that's the proper word to call the girl still fast asleep, curled up underneath the covers of a comfortable-looking clinic bed - looks absolutely nothing like the sempai you're accustomed to, however.

Her hair, long and thick, tied into two elegant braids. Her hands, still smooth and uncalloused, protectively clutching her glasses to her chest. Her eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly, giving her otherwise peaceful slumber a look of mild worry.

This is moe. Weaponized moe. As much as you despise that term, that puerile concept that the lesser of your peers often resort to in order to push sales figures - there's no other way to describe your sempai right now.

You would kill to be able to take a picture of her, in this state. If it weren't for the fact that electronics often fizzled out inside a Barrier, you'd have jumped on the chance.

...Well, even if you could, you probably wouldn't.

You're not too sure how Madoka would take it.

"It's her," The pink-haired girl whispers in a tearful, broken voice. "It's really her. I...I didn't think I'd ever see her again. It's Homura-chan, j-just like I remember her. B-before...before she became so cold, so angry..."

She reaches out towards the slumbering girl, hesitation slowing her movements - and it's then that her eyes widen at the sight of her clawed, bloodied hands. The splotches of crimson on the white silk still wet, the scent of copper still fresh.

"N-no, I can't. I...I don't want her to see me like this..." She shakes her head furiously, ponytails swinging back and forth as she backpedals. "Homura-chan doesn't need to see me like this--"

How do you react?

Holy crap, Midori is fast!

"Homura-chan would probably want to see you, right? Then, if you're worried about how you look, this is simple enough to fix."

"Clasp your hands behind your back, close your eyes and smile."
>>
>>22037981
A volume every 3 weeks? Damn.

Anyway, don't we have illusion powers? Perhaps we could have Madoka describe to us how she used to look, so we could tag a glamor onto her for her to talk to Homura-chan?
>>
>>22038014
Using magic inside a witch's barrier attracts familiars like annoying insects to a fluorescent light.
Except instead of annoying they'll kill and eat us. Hopefully in that order, probably not.
>>
>>22037906
Ask Madoka how such a cute and vulnerable looking girl ended up like our version of Homura
She looks so peaceful, like she is a different person
>>
>>22038014

That sounds better. Might attract familiars, yeah, but if the illusions is a minor one, maybe not?
>>
>>22038039
A sufficiently minor illusion might be fine

But then any magic might attract them so maybe throwing up a bigger one somewhere else would help

Either that or we have hit the mini game where we have to disguise one of our party members so we have to go searching for clothes / makeup etc

You take a moment to glance at the still-slumbering girl. You've no reason to doubt Madoka, really - her tearful reaction confirmed as much - but you still can't believe that the girl on the bed was your sempai, or at least used to be her. What changes a person like that? What kind of sacrifice did your sempai make? What sort of trauma did she put herself under to become so broken, so jaded, so hateful?

The list of unanswered questions - questions that you should really ask, but are much too attached to having your organs inside you - continue to grow. But that's neither here or there - the pink-haired girl needed your help now, more than ever. Questions can wait.

Stepping slowly and quietly to the distraught young woman, it's then that you offer your help. But you do it delicately - knowing that even with the time you've spent together, you know that you're still treading on thin ice here. You ask her if there's anything at all you can do to make things better.

"I...I don't know..." Madoka looks down at her bloodied claws, before burying her face in them. "I...I know what I look like, Midori-chan. Homura-chan...t-that Homura-chan, there on the bed, she hasn't seen me like this before. I don't want to scare her." She chokes down a sob. "I don't want her to be scared of me..."

You manage a small smile, and carefully place both hands on Madoka's shoulders. The shorter, slighter girl flinching slightly at your touch, before looking up at you, a questioning look on her face.

You tell her that even though you don't quite recognize your sempai in this form, you know, at least, that she never cares what her friends look like. The fact that they're her friends is what matters. She shouldn't worry about scaring her at all.

>>22038675

"No, you don't understand...! She doesn't know me like this! I...she wouldn't see me as Madoka, she'd see me as something else! A...a monster!"

You click your tongue at this. You're sure it wouldn't matter, but if she wanted, well...you could do something. You're Callidus, after all. Changing appearances was your specialty.

"W-what about the familiars...?"

You shake your head. The magic you'll be using would be close to nil, for what you're planning. But if it were to lure some familiars to your location, then you could trust her to protect both you and sempai, right?

"O-of course! A-and...and even from that strange, spiky meanie, too! I'll be brave!"

You smile and nod at this. For...for an insane goddess always on the precipice of ripping your face off, Madoka seems like a nice girl, really. You only have to know her a bit better.

Your Soul Gem gives off a tiny, miniscule spark, and you tell Madoka to close her eyes. She is quick to obey, and you gently brush your fingertips over her closed lids. Murmuring a certain transformation phrase as you take her hands.

Magical Midori Mystical Make-Up~

[2/3]
>>
>>22038687

You tell her to open her eyes, now, just as you pull your smartphone out of your jacket pocket. Offering her the deactivated device so she can see herself reflected on the screen.

...Soft, honey-amber eyes suit her so much better than black, you say.

"I...I don't believe it..." Madoka's eyes grow wide as she looks at herself at the screen. "H-how? I didn't even feel any magic! Midori-chan, how did you--? A-and my fingers! I don't have claws anymore!"

Callidus trade secrets, you remark, allowing yourself to feel just a bit of pride.

You may not be the best Callidus, but you have aces up your sleeve.

It's too bad most of them are minor stuff like this, but they have their uses!

You put your phone away just as Madoka makes her approach towards your sleeping senpai, again. It's almost surprising how she'd remained asleep, even with the racket the both of you have been making.

"What...what should I do now, Midori-chan?" She looks back up at you again, looking even more vulnerable now that you've temporarily embellished her...more striking features. Making it nigh-irresistable for you to walk over and just cuddle her, or something similar.

Was this the power of moe? Really? Something so powerful that it could make bloody horrors like her adorable?

You shake your head. Time to focus. She's asking you how she should wake her best friend up. Like a younger sibling, asking her big sister how to behave during her very first date.

What advice do you offer?

So probably not.

Kharn already represents, or is represented by, another character from that: Black Gold Saw.

You tell her to wake the girl up gently, with as much care as possible not to shock her awake. It's only right, after all - she's waking up in a Barrier, of all places, the least one could do is to start off the obviously-traumatic experience in a not-so traumatic way.

Madoka nods vigorously at your words, her eyes wide. "Y-yes, Midori-chan, that makes sense. You're...you're really smart about this sort of thing, huh?"

...Not exactly. You did fall in love with someone that shot your legs off.

You don't say that out loud, though. Instead, you shake your head, and just tell her that you've had a lot of experience with helping people deal with...things that shouldn't be dealt with. More or less.

"A-ah, I see." Madoka seems to consider something for a moment, looking down at the sleeping girl, before turning back to you. "U-um, Midori-chan, can you watch the door for a while? Just...u-um, check and see if that spiky meanie isn't around?"

You blink at this. Well, you could easily see the window from where you are, and if anything, you'll hear its footsteps before it shows up anywhere near the Clinic. You don't see the point--

"Please?" Madoka clasps her hands in front of her, pleading. A rosy blush blooming on her pale cheeks.

...Oh. OH.

Right. Of course. Guard duty. Nothing Magical Midori can't handle.

You give her a smile and flash her a thumbs up. She thanks you breathily, grateful, and you see her bend down slightly over your sleeping sempai just as you turn your back on her. Giving her and your sempai the privacy they needed.

...You never had a chance. You never did.

No, stop. Christ. You're not going to cry. Not now.

Get it together, Hanegawa. Get it together.

>>22039033

"N-nhh..." You hear a soft grunt, followed by the confused, mumbled gibberish of someone just roused out of sleep. And it's then that you hear it - the voice of your sempai. Pure. Unblemished and unroughened by cigarettes and whisky.

"Kaname-san? What...what are you doing here in the Clinic? Isn't it still Homeroom?" A moment. "And...and why are you in your Magical Girl costume? What's going on?"

"H-Homura-chan..."

There is a rustling of cloth, of a heavily-frilled skirt brushing against the bedclothes, and it's then that you hear Madoka start crying again. Her sobs muffled, indistinct.

"Kaname-san...? What's wrong? W-why are you crying? Did you get hurt? C-come on, Kaname-san, you're scaring me..."

Madoka doesn't reply.

"...U-um, Miss?" You hear her call out to you in a slightly-louder voice - and you can't help but note how vulnerable her voice was, moreso when she was trying her best to be polite. "I-I'm sorry for bothering you, but are you one of Kaname-san's friends? I'm...I'm sort of confused, Madoka-chan's crying, a-and I don't know what to do..."

There's a difference between crying for a long lost friend and crying because things don't go her way.

Say that to my face fucker not online see what happens.

>>22039198
>the other is a boozed-out sociopath that is quite possibly not Homu anyway
Not anymore. She really took to the taste of water.
Eventually Chiaki will be closer to Homura, or even Moemura, than to Murderface.
>>
Watermelon end! Anons! We can still do this! Magical girls can have threesomes!

Give us a little hope before crushing our hearts!

>>22039233
Thats more because she was a completely blank slate this time

Once she regains her memories she will go back to her old friends mr kong and tobacco

>>22039244
For the amount of feels that this thread has inspired in me from the small amount of time I have seen This Must Come To Pass!

Death flags
Death flags everywhere
>>
As long as Midori doesn't witch out from losing her chance at Chiaki and survives this mess it'll be all good.

death flag raised
>>
Ill be perfectly honest here, with all of these death flags flying up everywhere, ive given up what little hope i had for midori. I kinda now just want to see how hard she crashes before she finally dies.

I means shes probably going to witch out in here. Or escape and witch out. Or hell escape grab a weapon and go all FoFA on the planet.

Ah well leave it to deculture to create drama out of absolutely everything i guess.
>>
>>22039259
...You know your real pessimistic right? Cant we have a lil hope in here just a little?
>>
>>22039309
IT won't be gruesome
>>
>>22039304
The death flags have actually given me hope. Deculture wouldn't be that obvious if he were to kill her off. I think hes just fucking with us.

Alright, let us throw in some pineapple salads as well for good measure.
>>
>>22039266
>>22039304
>thinking Midori is so weak that she would witch over something like this
Sayaka, maybe, but Midori's much stronger than that. Not saying that she doesn't have a high probability of dying, but witching out is definitely not the way she would go. Maybe if Murderface died, but even then, I don't see her witching out.
>>
>>22039332
Just according to plan.
>>
>>22039333
There's always hope at the bottom of a bottle of whiskey.

Murderface knew that.
>>
>>22039344

I like you anon. You can come to my house and drink with me.
>>
>>22039339
Nah its the fact that pinky is not only her competition but the fact that she wasnt loved by Homura in the fist place thats gonna make her snap.

But hey at least we get to correct the mistake deculture made for not killing green and eager when we used the sword. SO thats something.
>>
>>22039334

pineapple salad, noooooooooooooooo!
>>
>>22039344
Ill admit that was very good.
>>
>>22039355
>but the fact that she wasnt loved by Homura in the fist place thats gonna make her snap.
...Except she always knew that.

Pre-amnesia Murderface trusted her though, didn't she?
>>
>>22039363

with her life.
>>
>>22039363
Nah man it will make her snap because we kept giving off mixed signals, over and over and OVER again. That and we became the center of her whole world in pretty short order after blowing her legs off.

But deculture will kill her off just to make /tg/ cry and scream. If the level of bitching about the sword was anything to go by, it will be a tsunami of tears. Delicious, delicious tears.
>>
>>22039370
So at the very least, she was/is one of Murderfaces Important People, because Homuraki's (sorta willingly) in this mess because she was protecting Midori.

Thats more than Pinky could say this entire quest.
>>
>>22039385

So it will be all our fault?

I am not sure if I can take that.
>>
>>22039385
>That and we became the center of her whole world in pretty short order after blowing her legs off.
>Twenty six volumes of yuri between her and Murderface
P sure it was that way for a while beforehand.
>>
The most cliche thing would be Midori dying protecting either Homura or something important to her.
And It WOULD be fucking sad thanks to the girl being little feelings generator.

I SERIOUSLY hope It won't happen, though
>>
>>22039400
Yeah i just read about that part this thread so you will forgive me using an old mark.
But my point stands. This is probably the WORST thing to happen to Midori at this time, triply so inside of a witch barrier.
>>
>>22039412
>All those death flags.
>"N...no anon i still hold out hope."

Uuuhhh yeah abut that whole hope thing......

If we post all the bad endings that could happen, Deculture will not go down these routes, right? Guys? Right?
>>

>Thats more than Pinky could say this entire quest
>Homura became a magical girl to save Madoka

Yep. more than Pinky could ever say.
>>
>>22039424
Keep praying anon keep praying.

Also stop giving the GM ideas that make EVERYTHING worse.

That's exactly how much they love each other.

They can't bear to see the other one unhappy on their own behalf, and each are destroying themselves to try and save the other.

Right down to Pinky's insanity and Murderface's amnesia and destruction of her own artefact.

I asked Decu if we could salvage Madoka from this mess, and his reply was that it is possible, but not now.

Watermelons are green on the outside and pink on the inside.

Don't worry I just got it.

>>22039464
Who's watermelon?
Is that harem ending?
>>
>>22039527
I think so

>>22039525
If you think about it, watermelons are green on the outside and red on the inside, and only pink where the two meet.
>>
>>22039510
In the middle of bumfuck nowhere, for me at least where all campaigns are freeform and completely sandbox according to the GMs but everything you do revolves around their DMPCs, or is the most cookie cutter shit youve ever read. There are also tons of LOLSORANDUMBXD Chaotic Stupid characters in all of them so its whatever.
Campaigns in my neck of the woods fall apart often. Someone please kill me now.

Alternatively, there are always yellow watermelons.
>>
So watermelon is winning so far?
>>
>>22039510
Pretty much the same as >>22039545

>>22039537
They are generally more pink than a real deep red. Only a few types get really red inside

Oh god...

We splattered Kyuubey all over her.

She got the better deal in this timeline by hooking up with Kyouko though.

Although we did kyuubake her so maybe overall it still balances out
>>
>>22039705
Now, now. She's still got Kyouko. She just doesn't notice or care in canon. Because Sayaka is pretty self-centered.

Thanks anons! Eagerly waiting for the translation and the emulation now.
>>
>>22039758
Nope. The routes end either with Walmart Night killing everyone, or killing everyone but Homura, who resets the timeline, or in this tea party in >>22039773 which is the best possible end. And I think it is the canon end, too.

>>22039784

sees anon is asking for routes that take place after the ending not ones that unlock afterwards.

No the game just ends afterwards.

Thanks!

A bit too much of the VN for me recently, so I got stuck into thinking in a KEY like fashion, where all the routes have a happy conclusion after conquering the last route.
>>
>>22039859

It is sort of fridge logic if you think about it. If the other routes had happy endings, when why did Homura time travel out of them? The same could be said of Oriko Magica
>>
i hope Deculture is alright.

This is normal for him, so dont worry.

Did the soviets nuke the moon again?

>>22039784
Homu resets the joke route.
>>
>>22039883
Actually it could be that things didn't turn out right for Madoka or that it turned out right for one person but no one else so she wouldn't leave it that way

In the good ending it is the only one where everyone survives and remains friends with Sayaka being possibly in lesbians with Kyouko

You manage to quickly run a sleeve across your eyes before turning around to reply, and you work up the most sincere smile you could muster in the current circumstances. There will be time to...do all the distasteful things later, when this is all over and you've a quiet corner to yourself. Right now is the completely wrong time for it, not when you've still got a job to do, here. One that you're currently one-fourths through.

You tell your sempai - or the girl who would soon be her, anyway - that yes, you're one of...Kaname-san's friends, and that she shouldn't worry too much about the pink-haired girl crying. Kaname Madoka just missed her a whole lot, and was worried sick about her.

"E-eh? But...but she was the one that helped me get here earlier...it couldn't have been more than an hour, could it? N-ne, Kaname-san?"

Still blubbering, still sobbing, Madoka barely manages to string together a coherent reply.

Helpless, Homura looks back up at you, one hand awkwardly patting the crying magical girl on the back, the other clumsily putting her glasses on. "I...I'm glad you miss me this much, Kaname-san, b-but I don't understand..."

Another muffled gurgling, and Homura smiles; a small, nervous smile that comes with a sudden crimsoning of her cheeks.

"Y-yes, Kaname-san. Of course. W-whatever it was, I'm sorry for doing it. A-and I forgive you, too. For...for anything that you might have done, w-which I'm not really sure about..."

[1/2]
>>
>>22040365

You turn your back to them, quietly, allowing them all the time they needed. Thankfully, whatever had chased you into the Clinic did not grace you with a sudden reappearance - and Madoka was able to calm down long enough to gather her wits about her, and explain the situation to Homura as best she could. Telling her that all three of you were stuck in a Barrier, and that you need to find the Witch to get out alive. Wisely, both you and Madoka had agreed on not saying anything about the entire truth until it was necessary. Not in the interest of sparing the poor girl from it, but rather being completely puzzled as to how to go about it.

How do you tell someone that they were a fragment of someone else's psyche?

How do you tell someone that they were, in fact, in a Barrier of their own making?

And how do you tell someone that their best friend had become the Magical Girl equivalent of an eldritchian nightmare?

It's not with flash cards, that's for sure.

But yes, you and Madoka give her the basics, for now.

And for someone who looks totally out of place in this kind of situation, the bespectacled young woman nods. Not even questioning why she ended up there, or how. As if she's gotten used to it.

You can't help yourself; you ask her why.

"It's because I'm Kaname-san's friend. Being friends with someone like Kaname-san, strange things have to happen to you, right?" Homura explains as if it's the most natural thing in the world to talk about. "Sometimes strange things, sometimes scary things, but...I don't mind. Being friends with Kaname-san is worth it."

No chance, Hanegawa Midori. No future.

[2/3]
>>
>>22040374

"T-that's Homura-chan for you," Madoka pipes up, beaming. "A-anyway, um, Midori-chan, I...I think we need to move to the next location, and really quickly. Since Homura-chan's with us now, we don't need to stay here anymore!"

It's then that you hear a voice, in your head, as she stares at you with the amber eyes you gave her.

+ It's coming for us again. It's a bit more slower this time -- I think it's trying to be careful because Homura-chan's with us now. +

Oh. You do need to get out of here quickly, then.

"A-ah! Where are my manners?" Madoka knuckles her forehead, sticking out her tongue in an embarrassed expression - before gesturing towards you with a gloved hand. "Homura-chan, this is Midori-chan. She's...she's a friend of Mami-san too, so she's sort of a magical girl sempai!"

"O-oh!" Homura's eyes - a bright, clear purple, a total contrast from the dark, lifeless violet you're used to - widen at you, and she bows. "P-Pleased to make your acquaintance, M-Midori-san! My name is Akemi Homura, please take care of me!"

You return the bow with a polite cant of your head, while trying to keep a straight face.

You don't know whether to cry or giggle, really.

Your sempai being so cute is just confusing, and ruins the urgency of the situation.

"A-anyway, as sempai, we're going with Midori-chan's lead in getting out of here!" Madoka says as she helps Homura off the bed. "S-so, Midori-sempai! How do we get out of here?"

What do you reply?

"Um.. What about.. the other weak person.. you dislike, near us. Shouldn`t we... Shouldn`t we at least try to talk to her? I know that you dislike bein confronted with your past self.. but maybe she is here for a reason, Madoka-chan. "

We also should try to rescue Beargirl!

It will be defeated by powerful Midohugs!

So, if we play our cards right, and by that I mean screw up and get Chiaki killed, would that mean we finish the quest as Midori?

Just think, it would be the transformation from a wide-eyed idealist to a bitter, drunk magical girl who believes everything she touches or loves dies...

>>22040726
We just need to mention saving a friend and If Madoka won't be all thankful and loving for the shit we've been through with her, the moralfag Homy will do the rest
>>
>>22040746
So basically go from substance abusing combat effective jaded veteran to alcoholic depressive manga artist who believes she is the cause of everything bad that happens to those around her?

not sure she could avoid witching out if that happened

>>22040757
This is...actually a very good point.
>>
>>22040771
I agree.
>>
>>22040766
Not if she takes that despair and turns it into a bitter refusal to witch out/die/etc. She'd be looking for that special someone to finally put a bullet through her head, but until that day she was going to raise as much hell as she could. No need to play it Bogart.

Basically Midori becomes Murderface/Max Payne.
>>
[X] Leave through the window.
>>
>>22040757
Or Moemura will be too scared to stick around, and will want out as soon as possible. Madoka will of course comply, leaving us alone.

I don't think Moemura is that selfish, though.
>>
If saving Mirai is at all possible then Moemura will be our bargaining chip. Pinky won't be able to refuse so long as Moemura is around. When we get to Murderface or Chiaki on the rescue list, we have to ditch Madoka or the things are going to get violent.
>>
>>22040382

[X]Leave the school on foot. You can warp a bit more safely out of the school's proximity.

>>22040819
We can still get Chiaki and Murderface to comply with the promise of finally getting some fucking answers, though.
>>
>>22040842

I think it would be sweet if Chiaki was more willing to trust Midori than Pinky.

"Fine, I'll play along. I'm willing to trust you, Hanegawa. But not her. "
>>
>>22040898
unless what we are running from IS Murderface since it seems she is the part of Homura that is violent, sadistic and dark but sort of slow in everything else
>>
I'm guessing the next part of Homura we encounter would be Murderface.

Or post-anime Homura if we are going chronologically

>>22040404 >>22040417 >>22040431 >>22040464

You decide to walk out of there on foot. You ask Madoka if would be safe enough to do so, and after a moment's consideration, the pink-haired Magical Girl nods.

"I...I think it should be safe, yes. I...I can pick the safest route for us to take, but we'll have to be quick about it. If we come across any resistance, I'll remove it myself...but the main thing is that we don't stop until we're out. That's important, I think."

+ If that thing attacks us again, I want you to take Homura-chan and get out of the school as quickly as you can.+ Madoka's voice interrupts your thoughts once more. + I'll hold it off and lure it away, and then I'll warp back to you. Nod if you understand. +

You nod, and Madoka beams. Homura-chan looks at you, then at Madoka, waiting quietly and expectantly. As soon as she sees a break in the conversation between you and the pink-haired girl, she meekly raises a hand.

You blink at this, and ask her if she needs anything.

"U-um, well, no. B-but I just wanted to ask, Midori-san, um...what happened to your costume? If you're a Magical Girl like Kaname-san and Mami-san, shouldn't you have your own costume?"

...That is a very good question, Homura.

And you answer by saying that you're one of the girls with the really embarrasing kind of costume, so you don't wear it often.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. You actually do like your costume.

It's just your role in being a Callidus that you eschew it.

Because you can't really blend into the surroundings when you're wearing a red beret.

Not many people can do a beret, but you can.

It's just not, you know, conducive to espionage stuff.

>>22040954

The three of you make your way out of the Clinic after making doubly sure that nothing spiky and terrifying is waiting for you outside - and it's with a hurried pace that you begin your cautious escape of the school. Following the route that Madoka seems to have memorized.

You're going a bit slower than you'd like, though. It seems that this version of your sempai has some health issues. A problem with her heart, Homura had managed to wheeze out, her face pale as she tried to catch her breath during a small stop in one of the empty classrooms. Madoka keeping watch of the entryway while the both of you hunkered down near her.

"I'm sorry...f-for slowing us down..." Homura apologizes for what seems to be the fifth time. Madoka is quick to correct her, saying that she shouldn't apologize. You were making good progress, after all, and you only had one more floor to go before the exit. Just a little bit more, and you'll be safe.

Relatively.

It's when Madoka takes a handkerchief from the pockets of her skirt to wipe the sweat away from Homura's brow that you're suddenly reminded of someone else. Someone who did that for you too, once, back when you still worked with her.

Wakaba Mirai. Former colleague - and from happened back at Siberia, a former friend.

But...

You look at Madoka. This could be your opportunity to ask.

What do you do?

[]Ask her about Mirai.
[]Don't ask her. Proceed as originally planned.

Chiaki no longer remembers Pinky. Besides, Madoka already has her Homu.

As you wait for Homura to recover, it's then that you decide to ask Madoka about Mirai. She seemed stable enough for now, and it's a bit easier to talk to her when she's not...crying blood or having claws or looking at you with shiny black eyes.

"Wakaba Mirai?" Madoka blinks at you, a blank expression on her face - and it's then that realization dawns on her. "O-oh! Oh! Yes, um, your friend! Um, I, I'm not all that sure about her, but I think we'll be able to find out more when we get to our next destination, Midori-chan!"

+ Your friend may already be a Witch at this point. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. But there's a chance she might have not. This is Homura-chan's barrier, after all, and we haven't seen anything about your friend having one. + A pause. + But it may just be that we haven't explored enough. +

It's fine, you reply, working up a small smile. You can work with that.

"W-what...what friend?" Homura says after a moment, eyes wide. "Midori-san, you have a friend trapped in this Barrier too?"

You nod after a moment.

"H-how awful! Madoka-chan, we should help find her...! We can't leave her here all alone!"

Madoka blinks at this, before patting Homura's hand, trying to calm her down. "It's okay, Homura-chan! We will, as soon as we get out of this place! With all three of us as a party, we'll find her for sure!"

Homura nods, clearly...and remarkably optimistic about it, all things considered. She turns to you with a firm expression of determination, which, while at odds with her breathy, stuttering voice, is just too precious for words. "W-we'll find your friend, Midori-san! We won't leave this barrier until we do!"

You nod, smiling.

What happened to you, sempai...?

[1/2]
>>
>>22041429

After a few more minutes, you set off again - but before you do, you ask Homura if she'd like to be carried by you, instead. This way, she won't get worn out, and all three of you could be out of the school in no time flat.

For the briefest moment, you saw Madoka's eyes flicker black as she stared at you, but she seemed to support the idea when Homura asked her opinion. And it's carefully that you carry such precious cargo in your arms, with Homura's own wrapped tightly around your neck. Squeaking with every few steps, as if afraid that she'd get dropped.

"Not much farther," Madoka says. "Staircase is just around the corner, and from there, it's a straight run towards the gate, and--"

A guttural roar, one that you've heard before, erupts from the floor above.

Followed by the heavy, thudding footsteps.

Only this time, they're quick. Absurdly quick.

"...Run." Madoka's eyes flicker as she all but overrides your pitiful little cantrip - and a long, slender rose stalk, prickly with thorns, manifests in her hand, her clawed fingers curling around it. A moment, and a giant rose blossom as large as Tiny Pete's hand unfurls at the stalk's tip, blazing with black flame. At the same time that a solid beam of pure darkness materializes in Madoka's other hand. Slender, slim, sharpened to a point. As long as her arm.

...No, not just a beam, you realize as she nocks it onto the stalk and pulls back on it, fingers pinching an invisible string. It's an arrow.

"M-Madoka-chan? Midori-chan? W-what's happening--" Homura cries, alarmed. "Madoka-chan, your eyes--"

"I TOLD YOU TO RUN!" Madoka screams at you, as another deafening roar tries to drown out all sound. The footsteps getting horrifically closer with every heartbeat. "GET HOMURA-CHAN OUT OF HERE!"

Not much we can do, we probably only would be in the way anyway.

It may not be a good idea to try to reason with it until we determine what the other Homura signals are. We don't know if the others are merely Homura's personalities as she became more jaded and desperate as she reset the timelines, or if they're particularly strong incarnations of her (i.e. Murderface, Chiaki, and one other).

The BRS version of Homura/Matsuda may merely be a fragment of Walpurgisnachtermarensomethingsomething.

>>22041650

I have to be honest, this was out of the blue! But I tried my best to adjust, so here we are D:

>>22041552
Now we need a Chikuwa of Midori wearing a red beret.
>>
>>22041665
I actually think that the hunter is pure Murderface
Homura has been split into various parts and we are collecting them all up, we have to get the hunter last because it's only with every other part of her mind intact can she control it

>>22041689
Or in her costume
>>
>>22041648
If we didn't have a sickly Homura and an unstable death god with us, I would completely agree with trying to reason with it. Even if it were just Homura. But as it stands, we're better off just going with the plan, I think. We have an easy escape opportunity and for Mirai and Homuface's sakes, we should take it and get crackin' on the rest of this mystery.

Plus, calling for help or trying to help ourselves might imply to Madoka that we don't trust her.

Probably no one will see this by now, but driving home from work I thought a bit more on the 4 Homus that need to be rescued. Moemura is obviously the first one. Second one is probably Hommando, and third would be RibbonHomu aka The One Who Ruined Everything, with fourth being Murderface/Chiaki.

RibbonHomu didn't get much screen time in the anime, but she's the one who couldn't move on and put the events in motion that ended up corrupting Godoka. So it would make sense for her to have been a huge part of Chiaki's psyche before she got her heart ripped out and the amnesia started.

If Homura asks us about why Madoka looks different, how about using this as an explanation:

"This Barrier is very strange. It's like some kind of... of *nightmare*. And using magical powers in here is risky."

Which is true -- it IS a mindfuck of a barrier. And using magical powers is likely to draw attention from familiars -- or worse. The fact that we haven't transformed at all would help sell this too.

And we are, quite frankly, not even sure as to what the hell is going on here. This Barrier is VERY strange.


Also. You know what this whole thing has been reminding ME of?

F.E.A.R.

We've got a child with potential superpowers. We've got a creepy school. We've got some kind of demonic ghost with a weird agenda. We've even got the monster that even scares the demonic ghost around.
