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

[stillneedawish]

[ 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? ]

Madoka...

[voice]

[stillneedawish]

... Hi, Sayaka-chan. [ she sounds a little like a deer caught in headlights. ]

[voice]

[fugal]

I- I know there's something going on. [Something with the community. Something with time in their world.]

If you don't want to talk to me about it, ...that's okay. [Even if it hurts. But it hurts her, not Madoka, so that's alright.] But I'm always here if you want to talk to me. You know that, right? [At least that much.]

[ voice - locked ]

[stillneedawish]

[ and after locking this... ]

No, of course I know that. ... And you're right. Who can I talk to about this if not my best friend, right?

It's just... a lot of this is all pretty unbelievable, and it's all pretty scary at times. I... I guess part of it is that I don't want you to get hurt. [ why should Sayaka - this Sayaka - have to deal with witches and magical girls and contracts if she doesn't have to? maybe she could just... give her the abridged version. ] Mm... you already know that time's been weird for me for a long time now, right?

[ voice - locked ]

[fugal]

...Yeah, it's...always April for you, right?

[ voice - locked ]

[stillneedawish]

Mmhm. There's another girl who can travel through time, or something like that, and she keeps rewinding things. I think it's to protect me from something, but I can't really remember what it is exactly since every time things reset, I forget what happened all the other times. But, well... I don't think it's working.

[ voice - locked ]

[fugal]

Madoka... [She wishes she could protect Madoka. She wishes she knew enough, that she was there.]

I guess, if it was working, you wouldn't still be in April.

So...[It's hard, to think this, harder to say it. But she pushes it out with determination.] I think you should try. Going to another world.

[ voice - locked ]

[stillneedawish]

Yeah. That's what I thought, too.

... are you sure?

[ voice - locked ] so sorry for the late

[fugal]

[She takes a breath.] Yes. I'm sure.

[ voice - locked ] no worries!

[stillneedawish]

Mm. Right. I guess the only way to know if it'd work is to try it... then maybe things can go back to normal.

[ voice - locked ]

[fugal]

Yeah, maybe!

Good luck.

[ voice - locked ]

[stillneedawish]

Mm. Thanks, Sayaka-chan. And... thank you so much for being there, too.
