♐ April 23rd [ locked to friends; hackable ]

[stillneedawish]

(( ooc: "friends" here is basically "anyone she's had positive conversations with", but if you're unsure feel free to say your character just hacked the entry. (: ))

Thanks to that virus, I know what's wrong with the time on my world now. A lot of the things I knew when I was in Scratch-san's body are blurry now, but I remember this. My world, everyone here... we keep repeating the same month over and over again, in some kind of loop. That's why I can only ever remember it being March or April, even though so much time has passed on the community.

I don't know if there's anything I can do to stop it. I... I mean, I know that there's something I shouldn't do that might help. But I also know that something might happen where I can't avoid it.

Ah, anyway, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to ask everyone a favour. If... I mean, whenever the loop starts again for me, could you remind me about it? It looks like I forget everything I find out about my own world whenever it starts again, so you'll have to remind me about the time loops.

There's just one more thing. When you tell me about the time loops, could you tell me something else? Homura-chan's tried to tell me over and over, but for some reason in every timeline so far it hasn't worked. Since I stopped being in Scratch-san's body it's all become fuzzy again, so I can't remember why, but I know it's important. So when you tell me about how time's so strange here, make sure you also tell me not to accept a deal from someone on my world, no matter how good it might sound. Please?

I know it's an inconvenience, but if enough people tell me about it, I'm sure I'll believe you all! After all, we're friends, so there's no reason for me not to. It's just... I can't do anything about it if I don't know that it's happening. And I'm tired of not being able to do anything to help.

I can do that. How will know when a new cycle starts?

[stillneedawish]

Thank you, Onceler-san. Mm, as far as I remember, it seems that Homura-chan always transfers into my school near the start of a cycle. So I guess that if you ever see me talking about that, that would be a good clue!

[howbadcanibe]

It's not a problem. Homura-san, okay I will remember that. How is your world like? I mean, there are any wars going on or talking animals?

[stillneedawish]

It's mostly the same as any other Earth, I suppose... except we have magical girls and witches in secret. But that must be something else I'll forget about after the timelines start over again.

[howbadcanibe]

Magical girls? You mean like Sailor moon? Maybe you will be able to see this entry once you are back. it will be good if you tell us all you know now or write down all you can remember.

[stillneedawish]

Not exactly. It's nothing like in manga or anime. Magical girls in my world get their magic by making a wish... and in return for that wish, they have to fight witches. But the witches aren't exactly what they seem either.

I don't think I'll be able to see this entry. But maybe you're right... if I tell everyone now, or maybe if someone else was able to take a picture of this entry somehow or write something down for me - I don't know.

[howbadcanibe]

Making a wish? I don't really understand how that works. Why not? Are they supernatural monsters? [He has all the question, sorry]

I will tell you about it at least. This community appears in my sketchbook, so I can't take a picture of it.

[stillneedawish]

Yes, for anything they want. It must be some sort of magic, but I don't really know how it works. And witches... mm, they are. But it's worse than that. They're... they're what magical girls turn into when they run out of hope, or use too much magic.

Okay. Thank you again for helping.

[howbadcanibe]

So because they want something they....get powers and can use magic. And then become witches if they use it too much? Do you know what they use the magic for? Do the girls fight monsters or something?

Don't mention it, Madoka.

[stillneedawish]

Yes. But the monsters they fight are the witches. That's why it's all so horrible.

[howbadcanibe]

So...if there weren't magical girls there would be no witches. [Looks like the simplest conclusion to him.]

Shouldn't people in your world stop wishing to become magical girls? If you don't stop no wonder you are in an endless cycle.

[stillneedawish]

The thing is, I don't think anyone would wish if they knew the truth. But the problem is that hardly anyone does know about it. The Incubators don't tell the girls anything.

[howbadcanibe]

An Incubator? Isn't there where you put a newborn baby that need special care?

[stillneedawish]

Oh! Um, no, I don't mean one of those. The Incubators are the ones who turn people into magical girls. They look like animals.

[howbadcanibe]

What sort of animal? Tell me just so I knew if one of those ever shows up here.

1/2

[stillneedawish]

Um, okay! Let me think... Kyubey's white, with long ears and... mm... just give me one moment, and I can draw him for you!

[ Aaaand true to her word, after a few moments the video comes on and Madoka's there, holding up a sketchbook with this picture drawn on it. ] It's not a very good picture, but he looks a little like this!

[ video ] omg so cute madoka

[howbadcanibe]

Looks like a cat had a funny night with a bunny.

[ video ] :3

[stillneedawish]

[ xkhgvjkdsdg Onceler what ] Ah--! I guess he does look a little like a cross between a cat and a rabbit, hehe... um, but he's really very dangerous, even if he looks cute.

[ video ] ♥

[howbadcanibe]

[Ey he says what he sees.] Then make him go away the next time it shows up. Kick him or something? Spray water on him, cats hate that.

[ video ]

[stillneedawish]

Water... mm, I'm not sure if that would work, but I guess it could be worth a try! It'd probably only really annoy him for a little while... I think the only thing I could do would be to try and say "no" to making a contract for as long as I can.

[howbadcanibe]

Put him in a cage then. I could help if he gives you trouble.

[ video ]

[stillneedawish]

Do you think a cage would work?

[ video ]

[howbadcanibe]

Unless he has thumbs to open it.

[ video ]

[stillneedawish]

Well, he doesn't have thumbs, hehe... but he has been able to get into my house without me noticing how he came in before. I'm sure that none of the doors or windows were open...
