♐ April 14th [ video of sorts; stalker community is in ur computers ]

[ what you can see isn't a room or even a street, as is the community's usual ways with its privacy invasions; no, instead you're getting the view of... a word document? whatever's on Madoka's computer screen tonight, it's clear the community thinks it should be seen and has helpfully activated a skype-esque screen-sharing function to that effect. ]

- leave the city?
↳ I can't leave the others behind
↳ what about Mama Papa and Tatsuya?
↳ if they're in this city they're probably in other cities as well

- escape to another world until after April?
↳ no Incubators (I don't think they can world-hop?)
↳ cons: see above
↳ that's so obvious I bet Homura-chan already tried it anyway

- use my wish to outsmart them somehow? |

[ there's a long silence with only the blinking of the cursor after that sentence appears, and then Madoka's voice can be heard mumbling "I'm nowhere near smart enough for that," before she promptly deletes it.

talk to her? ]

The thing is, I don't want to leave without everyone else. Not now I know that they're all in danger if they stay behind. And also... I think that if I left, I wouldn't be able to come back either, because the Incubators would just keep trying to get me. I'd have to move away for good unless I thought of a way to outsmart them properly.

Depends on the world. I'd probably drop you off in a tame one, outside of the usual sphere of danger, like Tokyo in 2007 or 2008 for Den-O, or maybe Fuuto post-2010 so that the Dopant crisis is over and done with.

I guessed as much, since it sounded more serious. Lend a Rider a ear; what's up with your world?

I think so, yes.

That sounds a bit like what happened to me.

I mean not the witches and monsters part... but the manipulating.

Mmm, well, the goal is not to make a contract, right?

Who are these Incubators? You mentioned them earlier, too, but this is the first time I've heard of them.

Eh? Well I don't know if I'd call it manipulating exactly... um. But I'm sorry that that happened to you. Uh, not if it was to save you, though, because that's a good thing! ... I think. Oh, now I'm confused...

I didn't get saved. I got... made.

It's complicated.

But what about you? How urgent is your situation?

None of that really made any sense to me, but those are good things, right?

Okay... please try not to spread this around too much, because I'm not sure how some people on my world might react if they found out everything all of a sudden. But well, basically, on my world there are there monsters we call witches. They feed off people's despair by causing fights, murders, suicides... other horrible things like that. Most people don't even know they exist, but there's girls around my age who are given powers to fight them. A little like magical girl anime, I guess. But... well, the problem is that sooner or later, all those girls will turn into witches themselves, if they don't die first while they're fighting. I didn't even know any of this until near the end of last month.

Anyway... there's another girl who keeps rewinding time on my world. I think it's because she's trying to save me from something horrible to do with the witches, but I don't really know what it is because I can't remember any of the other timelines. But... mm, whatever it is, I don't think what she's doing is working. So I'm trying to come up with a different way to solve it, and... well, here we are, I guess.

Very good things. You'd be in the best parts of Rider history.

[He nods, absorbing the info as he listens carefully.]

... talk to Ren Akiyama. He's in a similar situation right now. Candidly, I didn't say this, but someones' also rewinding time between 2002 and 2003 for the sake of their sister, and the prize of their Rider War is a Reality Altering Wish.

While he can be squirrely about what he does, I think you'd probably be able to relate, even if you can't escape your fate yet.

Well, yes, but... how can I put this? It sounds like there's even more to that decision than we all thought there was.

Has Mami-san told you about Kyubey? He's one of them.

Can you talk about it?

Yeah. Tell them what's going on, and see if they can come up with a good idea.

Made...?

Oh, um, you're right. I think I have about 2 weeks left at most until the date when time usually winds back. That's if my notebook is right about that, of course. But since I don't remember it being May since I joined the community, I think it probably is.

Forgive me then. I did not know this was unintentional. But if there is anything I can help you with...

Um. Created? Really complicated.

But if time winds back then you'll be safe again, won't you?

That doesn't sound so bad at all.

Ren Akiyama... right, got it. I think talking to anyone who's in a similar situation would probably help a little bit, even if it doesn't really solve the whole problem. Though, the difference between us would be that really, it would probably be better if I didn't make a wish at all in my case. But that's more difficult than it sounds.

There's quite a few people who already know, but they all seem to agree it'd be better if I just didn't make a wish at all.

It's an option.

He doesn't remember, so ease him into it. He might come trying to beat me in the head for it later, but he deserves to know sooner or later. He's getting pretty screwed over as well, and he could use someone to relate to. Maybe you two can actually come up with a solution, because mine is probably "Throw Tsukasa at the problem and hope he solves it."

With you, I think it'd be okay.

You already know about how Puella Magi become witches, right?

So you mean you weren't real before, or...?

Yes, but it'll just start up all over again. She's been winding time back over and over for what's been over a year and a half in community time.

Mm, well, I don't suppose you're any good at finding loopholes in things, are you?

Yes. I do.

Yeah... But [ his fingers hover over the keys for a minute. he doesn't know what's going on with these "wishes", but... ] you can't help it, right? You say, "No matter what, I won't do it," and then it happens anyway because of something you couldn't control.

[ that's what happened to him, anyway. ]

So, saying, "I won't," might not be enough. Outsmarting it might be better.
