Note: Some images may be unrelated to the scene occuring. Please bare with me, I have a limited picture folder.

You move out of the way of the speeding car, the window to the inside dark in the night. Luckily you were able to keep you footing as you backpeddal a few steps before regaining your posture. Several questions race through your head. Who is driving the car? Why are here? What do they want with you? A figure steps out of the car, wearing a regular buisness suit. A normal Japanese man, the type that you saw everyday while riding the train. He appears to a nondescript salaryman, complete with a brown bag in his right arm, short black hair, and glasses. You cannnot see much else in the darkness of the night, but as he opens his bag, he spot the shine of a small knife, no larger than the ones you saw your mother use to make dinner. You clutch your schoolbag tight as he speaks.
"Hello, Miyako." He says. "Please, come with me. Don't worry, I have no reason to harm you. But if you resist, I must resort to...more aggressive means."

"What's going on?" You ask, trying to bide for time while you fumble within your schoolbag for your phone.
He steps a bit closer, the distance between your two bodies closing by the second. "Mitsushita-san," He asks, tilting his head. "Do you know what magic is?"
The question takes you by suprise. "Like the kind at shows?" You had gone to the theatre a couple times in the past and had been somewhat impressed by the tiny slight of hands that magicians were able to accomplish.
The man shakes his head. "No no no. Real magic. The type in stories."
"Stories...?" You ask. You grab your phone and start to dial a number blind. It isn't working. He's getting closer.
He shakes his head again. "You have a gift, Mitsushita-san. One that is very very important to many people."
"What kind of gift?" He is only several feet away now and still walking towards you.
"The kind that changes lives. Now get in the car. Or else..." He glances at the knife.
Throwing all reason aside and knowing you can stall no longer, you kick at him, aiming for the region between his legs. He doubles over and staggers a little bit. You run.

Run to a friend's house - he'll be expecting you to run home. Now that there's no need for secrecy, you can also dial the police openly.

>>44396749
So were not even close to a train station, main road, hospital or hotel?

You run and don't look back. A cry comes out from behind you as you hear him struggling back onto his feet. As you turn the street you run face-first into the man, the knife brandished in his right hand and his bag abandoned. His eyes are undecernable behind his glasses. Fear rushes through you as he takes you by the neck and slams you onto the floor. The wind is pushed out of you as adrenaline starts pumping through your body. Everything moves slower as you try to grasp for something, ANYTHING, that might give you a respite in the wrestling act you are currently engaged in. He presses the knife against your throat and you are suddenly acutely aware of what is happening. Your life is in the balance. If you move an centimeter you will die.
"Come with me." He says, his voice still calm. "Now."

A bright light illuminates the dark street and the man is blasted from his poistion on top of you. You try to scramble to your feet and are pulled up by another person, wearing a plain white shirt and a black jacket. You notice a brightly glowing silver ring on the index finger of his right hand. "Stay here." He tells you before turning to the attacker.
The assailant moves to his feet. "Damn you Tetsuya!"
The other man, Tetsuya, smirks. "Your fault for attacking my mage."
"Only doing my job."

It's the middle of the night dude, everybody is either sleeping, shitposting or working the night shift. And I'm guessing that we are in the suburbs, so we won't be able to easily find someone working the night shift.

Our best bet is to run away screaming and hope that somebody hears us and comes to our aid But this is a magical girl quest, so suffering will happen..

>>44397012
Its not in the middle of the night. Its mainly dark due to being winter. We spent a few hours in the dojo for the kendo club which means at most its 7-8pm. People will still be up and driving or coming back home.

>yet another magical girl quest
do you people have no shame?

Sorry guys messed up.

Tetsuya exchanges no other words with the attacker before another white light fills the darkness. You struggle to your feet, your chest ragged and your body strained, before Tetsuya looks at you and says. "Sorry, but you're coming with me. Hoped this would turn out more peacefuly but unfortunately the world isn't that kind." He raises his palm to your forehead and you black out, your surroundings darkening.

When you wake up you are surrounded by a white hospital interior. There are no windows. No doors. You are cut off from the outside by a sterile curtain that surrounds the bed you are laying in. Your body doesn't hurt but you are still tired. There comes a knock on a door and a woman's voice says, "I'm coming in." You hear footsteps before the same woman that you assume opened the door enters the space within the curtain. She doesn't hold out her hand.
"My name is Ueno. Welcome to the Interdimensional Mage's Peacekeeping Alliance, Education Office 7. I know this may be a bit much, but what is your name, birthday, and place of birth?"

"Mitsushita Miyako, August 18th 2002, Sendai Japan." You reply, sticking with Ueno's question for a little bit.
She nods and takes out a notepad and jots a few things down. She starts to open her mouth but you hold up your hand and stop her.
"Wait." You say, your mind still a bit fuzzy. "What happened? Do I have to answer this questions?"
She tilts her head in confusion and closes her notepad. "Of course you do. All mages under the juristiction of the IMPA must be registered in the database. You are no exception, Mitsushita-san."
"Wait..." You reply, confused at all this talk of mages. "I'm a mage?"
Ueno nods. "We here at the Recruitment Administration have our eye on you for some time. There few mages from your planet so we have our agents grab them while they can."
"This isn't making sense...." You think. Then it all falls into place. What Tetsuya said. The attacker at night. What he asked about magic. You sit up straight. If what you said about magic is correct, and I am really a mage, then who was the other person who attacked me?"
"An agent of the Transdimensional Imperial Magical Administration." Ueno replies. "Be grateful our own contact found you in time." Ueno stands up. "You should get some rest. I will send some paperwork your way once you are recovered."
"What for?"
"Administion into the Thirteenth Magical Education Facility. Any other questions?"

>>44397502
Voting for this

You pause for a moment. "Why me. This makes no sense. Are there others like me? What do they say when you tell them this? I just don't understand!" You feel yourself on the verge of tears.
Ueno just shrugs. "I don't know. All I know is that your planet produces some pretty powerful mages and the Alliance needs them if we want to stay on par with the TIMA. I'm just one person at this office so don't ask me. I'm no scientist either so I couldn't tell you why you have magic. All I can tell you is that you are not a alone. Your world is just one of many that has mages within it. You'll meet them soon enough. But I can tell you this much. Do your duty to the Alliance. That's what we all do and that's how we keep this nation breathing. Now get some rest." She leaves, leaving to you the silence of the room.
Feeling your eyes grow heavy, you drift off to sleep.

You are woken up by some doctors proding your body. The head doctor, wearing a white labcoat, flashes a light in your eye before saying, "She looks all good." He notices you are awake. "Ah, good morning, Mitsushita. You seem alright now." You nod slowly. The doctor pulls out some papers from the desk next to you. "I have some paperwork from the Education Board for you. Ueno must've briefed you on the details."
"Thirteenth Magical Education Facility right?"
He nods. "I'll leave you to it."
As he leaves you glance at the paper.

Stretching your arms you move out of bed and spot some clothes on the table that the doctor left. It looks like a school outfit, with what you assume is the emblem of the Alliance on it. It shares more in common with a military outfit than a school outfit though, one of the many signs that the school you will be going to isn't a regular education facility. You pull back the curtain and open the door in front of you. You put on the outfit and exit your room. A long hallway awaits you, extending on either side. Again, there are no windows but at least the doors on the wall give some sense of space to the hospital. You look to your right to see person wearing the same outfit you are. He has shoulder length hair and black eyes, a stiff posture and overall a very serious demeanor. He salutes you and you try to replicate his gesture.
"Hello, Trainee Matsushita. My name is Takero Haejimon, Private Second Class. I will escort you to your quarters at the Thirteeth Magical Education Facility."

"What kind of place is this facility we are going to?" You ask, curious about what kind of education you will be recieving.
Takero turns to you and glares at you. "You will address me as Private Haejimon, Trainee. To answer your question though, the 13th is a facility that exists not within this dimension, but within a transdimensional spacetime where communications are limited. Tell me, Trainee. Does your world have space stations?"
You think for a little bit. Kouta, your younger brother, always wanted to be an astronaut when he was younger so he told you all about the ISS. "Yeah I think so." You reply.
"The facility itself is set up like that. Except there's gravity."
"Hmmmm..."
You follow Takero is silence through the hallway until you come an exit. He turns to you and stares at your eyes, his hair whipping around. "Beyond these doors is a shuttle that will take us to the 13th. Any last questions? New finds always have them. We can talk some more on the shuttle once we take off as well."

"What are mages?"
Takero straightens himself and sighs, his hand hovering above the button the would open the door. "Mages are users of magic, the force of energy that is the building block of all life in the universe. As I understand it, magic exists in everything, from the tiniest atom to the most complex lifeform. Only those with connection to this force however, can use it. Namely magicians like you and I."
"And how do we use it?"
He takes out a pistol and shows it to you. "Through these. Engineers call them Metaphysical Magical Stablization Devices, but the rest of us just call them MMSDs or devices."
"What do we use them for?"
"By inputing mana, simply put, magic infused with our own energy, into the device, it changes it into a imprint of the mage's will in the form of their magic type onto the world around them. Before devices, people had to mentally exert their will onto the magical web of life of the universe, killing most mages. So we have these things instead."
Curious, you stare at Takero's device. "Do I get a device?"
He nods. "Of course. The magismiths at 13th should issue you one after some short tests. That and figure out your magic type. Now, let's go. You can ask me some more questions later."

He opens the door and you follow him down walkway that reminds you of the entrances into a plane. When you open the door into the shuttle, it's a place that reminds you of what a real starship might look like. You strap yourself in and get ready for takeoff.

>>44398852

So are we supposed to ask more questions now?

>>44399028
Sorry I didn't make that more clear. You can ask about the Alliance, magic, or make a write in now.

Or not ask anything and stay silent for the trip to the 13th.

>>[]Ask him about the Alliance

>>44398852
"So are all devices guns, or...?"

>>44399046
>[x]Ask about the Alliance
Sure.

I'll do both suggestions.

As the shuttle starts to take off, you turn to Takero. "I have two questions."
He motions for you to start speaking.
"First off, what is the Alliance?"
"The Alliance is a group of magical governments and nations that work together to consolidate our strength against the TIMA. Due to the existance of space magic, we are able to spread our influence across galaxies and even a few dimensions. Government within the Alliance is segmented between different scales of organization, going from planetary levels to galactic levels. Some believe this is highly inefficent but as long as work get's done, I don't really see the harm in it."
You nod then ask your second question. "So are all devices guns?"
Takero shakes his head. "I read your file and saw you were attacked by a TIMA agent before our own rescued you. Was he holding anything."
You think back to the attack. Then it hits you. "He was holding a knife."
Takero nods. "That was likely his device. Devices come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The Alliance agent back on Earth...Tetsuya I think it was, he has a ring as his device. Mine is a gun but really it can be anything from a crude weapon like a sword to a necklace. All depends on your style."
You nod and go back to silence.
1/2

It is several shakey hours in a shuttle with only a dozen or so other people, some younger than you, some older, before the ship lands. A voice sounds from the intercom. "Welcome to the Thirteenth Magical Education Facility, new students. At this time, please unbuckle your seatbelts and exit the craft. Please do not forget your belongings when you do so." As you and Takero do as the voice commanded, the student turns to you.
"Once we get off this shuttle, we will head straight towards the magismith offices. There we will get your magic type identified and you will choose the mold for your device. Once we have all that I will escort you to your dorm. There you will meet your squadmates and I will leave you."
You nod and follow him off the shuttle.

The inside of the 13th is the same white color as the hospital. No windows either, most likely because of the transdimensional nature of the facility. "From here on out, no one can contact us without authorization from the head Space-Mage. Welcome to the 13th, Trainee."

Your brain somewhat can't process the situation. It all seems so dreamlike and surreal to you. You follow Takero through the main hallway and downstairs. As the lights dim you start to hear a great humming. Takero turns and enters a long dark hallway lined with doors. He passes by several before knocking on one. "Private Second Class, Takero reporting." The door opens.
A small workshop awaits you. There is only one engineer, drilling on some sort of item. She stands up, her uniform dirtied with grease.
"Ah Takero!" She says, saluting him before shaking his hand. "Is this the new Trainee."
He nods. "Can you please test her?"
She nods and smiles. "Of course." She turns to you. "What's your name sweetie?"
"Matsushita Miyako." You reply.
"Well come on over. We'll be doing a few tests to just quickly determine your magic type. I'm sure Takero over there has told you about mages and magic right."
You nod. "Somewhat."
You go through the tests quickly. After about 10 minutes the magismith informs you that your magic type is...

No you were given no choice. You were attacked, saved by an Alliance mage, then told, you are joining the military and going to military school. No one has said anything about the life you left behind and Ueno was the only one that sorta gave advice about what to do with ourselves.

>>44399602
Mostly I'm operating on the assumption that we'll go with a sword due to our background in the kendo club.

>>44399672
Preferably a slightly oversized rapier to go with the Esdeath theme.

So as far as I can tell, we have no reason to go along with what they're making us do other than that they're better than the alternative, we owe them one for saving us from a random shanking, and they could probably kill us if they wanted to. This will surely do wonders for our character development.

>oversized rapier
Anon, I... don't recall when we ever decided on being Esdeath.

The results came back that your magic type was ice. Which was strange. You never thought of yourself as a "cold" person. You shrug the thought off though. You give the results back to the magismith.
"The results of your magical and physical rankings will take a while to come in, but we'll send the papers over to your room when they are finalized. As for your device, we have a few mass-produced molds for you to choose from but you can give us an idea of what to make and we'll try to replicate it. Your device is more or less about comfortablity anyways. My name is Haruka by the way. Kawatsuji Haruka." She extends her hand.
"Nice to meet you Kawatsuji-san." You reply, shaking her hand. She then hands you a set of papers with some pictures for different molds for your device. The molds are...

Nah, rapier is rather incompatible with our background in kendo. The styles are just too different. We'd be actively fighting our existing training to learn to use it.

Kendo clubs don't actually train with proper swords, so if we get a sword device based on our familiarity with it, it'd be in the form of a training sword at least until the limiter comes off.

"Can you make me a jian?" You ask, putting down the mold designs.
Haruka smiles a wry a grin and nods. "Of course. I'll get right on it. It should be done in a couple days. We'll have to do the contraction ceremony once it's finished but I'll get some of the other smiths on it." She then turns to Takero. "You taking her to her squad now?"
He nods silently.
"Good good." Haruka stretches. "Well, I'll see you around won't I Mitsushita-san?"
"That you will. See you, Kawatsuji-san."

Takero leads you out, not saying anything to you as he takes the stairs back up and through some more hallways, these more brightly lit than the darkness of the magismith workshops. He turns a few corners and knocks on a door. There is a sign next to it that reads "Squad 437".
"Open up!" He yells.
"It's open!" Comes a girl's voice from the other side. It sounds like they are the same age as you.

With a woosh the door slides open and Takero comes in, you following right behind him. There are four others in the room, two boys and two girls. They are all saluting.
"At ease." Commands Takero and they put their hands behind their backs. "This is your new squadmate, 437. Her name is Matsushita Miyako. Introduce yourselves, everyone else."
A black haired girl with shoulder length hair and a slim, short body steps forward. "Nakasone Mio." The next is a boy, with long, blond hair and piercing eyes. "Shioya Chikako." Third is a girl with short, roughly cut black hair and black eyes. "Araki Kazue." Finally is a guy with brown hair and brown eyes. "Fujimura Maiya." He says.
Takero turns around. "Welcome to Squad 437, Private Third Class, Matsushita Miyako. Good luck." And with that he exits the room.

I think I'll be ending it here tonight guys. Will be running this quest every week around the same time so check into my twitter (https://twitter.com/finaljas90) for updates. Will be archiving this quest on suptg as well. So, how did everyone like the first thread?

>>44400495
It was alright not much happened yet but it did just start and I'd rather have a proper beginning then just rush into things.

>>44400495
Was pretty cool. Waiting to see where you're going with it. Still waiting for Miyako to blow up at someone.

>"I'll be honest. I've been going along with things because there doesn't seem to be any alternative. But I still don't understand what's going on, where I am, or what authority this organization has to kidnap me right out from my old life and conscript me without my consent.
>"As far as I know, I'm a prisoner or a slave, because from the very point I arrived up till now, not a single person has explained anything that actually has any fucking meaning to me!"

Anyway, did any of our reactions or decisions surprise you? How hard will you be inserting your jian fetish from now on?

>>44400675
Yeah my idea was to get everyone accustomed to the world while still getting some character decisions in (namely magic type and device shape). Stuff like introducing the other squad mates as well as your mage ranking will come later as well as general military hijinks.
>>44400692
Wasn't expecting you guys to talk to the Imperial agent to be honest. Wasn't also expecting ice to be the magic type as it's one of the more "traditional" magic types I had chosen. I'm so hard imagining Miyako fighting with a jian with her ice powers now though.

If there are any general setting questions though I'd be happy to answer them (seeing as I'll still be around for another hour or so).

>>44400774
Tell us about the universe in general? Currently it mostly seems something like not!Nanoha.

Also, was it possible to end up going with the TIMA agent instead? How would that have changed thing in this thread and in the future?

>>44400909
For the most part it takes a lot of stuff from Nanoha (most notably StrikerS) but the idea of devices is something I got heavily inspired by Rakudai. Tried to put more logical and systemic justification on the strength of mages rather than "it's magic I ain't gotta explain shit." Contraction, for instance, is bringing out a person's latent magical abilities to enhance their physical, mental, and magical abilities. In terms of the universe though, there are several other nations besides the alliance and the TIMA (about 7 more that I have listed) that are all smaller than the Alliance and the TIMA. Just to list them off, there's the Free Mage's Society, the Magician's Regulatory Force, the Magical Intergalactic Defense Coalition, the Intergalactic Defense Mage Union, the Confederation of Magical Planets, the Magical Device Protectorate, and the Pan-Terran Mage Protection Army. So it's much larger than just one organization.

As for the deal with the TIMA agent, it was possible to end up with them, and trust me if you think the Alliance is screwing you over, the TIMA is wayyyy worse.

Of course the group that tries to recruit you at knife-point would be worse, but neither of them seem to be very good at this.

Would we likely get any chances to escape or defect in the foreseeable future? Because I personally feel those would be rather in-character things to do.

>>44401138
I'm really bad at naming things anon
>>44401143
In the future yes, but only after you've gone on several missions with your squad. Whether you defect or just escape is your choice though.

>>44401153
>spoiler
You mistake me. I freaking love it. Sets us up to make a joke about how all these groups should be "struggling together" (WE ARE!) at some point.

>>44401143
Either that, or somehow we end up being Kingmaker in a tense situation (like holding an artifact of power) and decide "TO HELL WITH THIS, I'LL BLOW US ALL UP IF I DON'T GET SOME FUCKING ANSWERS."

I just want to see her snap a bit. She's kinda just going with it so far, but you gotta imagine she's just holding it all in. For all intents and purposes, she's dead to her family, and for what?

That can't ring well, and I can see her getting very frustrated over it. Frustrated enough to do things she might not have considered herself capable of doing...
