♐ 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? ]

IC-ly delayed by about ten minutes;

I haven't seen her much since the first week she transferred into my school. I guess Mami-san must be keeping her away, or... or she's busy fighting Witches, or something.

I guess so. But, well... I just don't know how I'd be able to convince them all. My family doesn't even know anything about other worlds, and neither does my version of Sayaka-chan or Hitomi-chan... and I don't think either of them would leave if we couldn't bring Kamijou-kun from the hospital somehow, either. Mami-san knows, of course, but she wouldn't leave and stop fighting Witches and protecting the city just because I asked her to. She's too good for that.

[unknownrival]

Hm... But she does go to your school, so couldn't you catch her immediately afterwards before she has time to disappear?

Convincing your family shouldn't be too difficult - it wasn't with my family. As far as Kamijou goes... well, there are hospitals in other worlds, but there's things with records that would make it hard to just transfer. I've done it before, though.

[stillneedawish]

Well... she skips school a lot, but I could try that, I guess! Or send her a message through the community if that doesn't work... I forgot to ask for her cell phone number.

Mm, I hope so. Mama and Papa are very reasonable people, and they know I wouldn't make up something this serious, but... I wouldn't want to take them away from their lives and their friends like that. But I guess that wouldn't matter in the end if something worse was going to happen anyway.

Um, but about the hospital, you have? How did you manage to move the patient? You see... the problem with Kamijou-kun is that the accident damaged his legs and his left arm, so he can't move by himself anymore. Not at the moment, anyway.

[unknownrival]

I understand. No solution is perfect. But it's good to consider the full consequences of all your options.

Did you know they just sell hospital-grade wheelchairs? Granted, you still have to get into the patient's room, but as you're a friend of a friend that shouldn't be too difficult.

[stillneedawish]

Yes... of course.

Well, to be honest, no, I didn't know that. But then I still have to get him back out again...

[unknownrival]

Bring the worldhopper with you. Some of them are capable of worldhopping from any spot, so you can just get out and leave the hospital staff in confusion.

[stillneedawish]

Oh! I didn't think of that.

... I wonder if he'd even believe me if I tried telling him about any of this.

[unknownrival]

That would be more difficult, but possible.

[stillneedawish]

He'd probably think I'd gone a little crazy.

[unknownrival]

I could convince him.

[stillneedawish]

How?

[unknownrival]

Give me some time with him and a combination of Diarmuid, Kefka, and kidnapping him first and explaining things later.

[stillneedawish]

Issei-san, no, that's terrible! We can't just kidnap him! And I don't think it'd be safe to let Kefka-san near him either.

[unknownrival]

It would make the explanation a lot easier. And if he doesn't want to leave even after being fully aware and informed, we can always bring him back. We're not going to hurt him.

[stillneedawish]

What a relief... I don't think Sayaka-chan would ever speak to me again otherwise. I'm still not entirely sure about that, though...

[unknownrival]

It's still just a consideration. Feel free to choose something else.

[stillneedawish]

Right... I guess that's part of the problem. I don't really know what I should choose.

[unknownrival]

How long do you think you have?

[stillneedawish]

Um... let's see, if it's April 14th today, then... around two more weeks, I think. Assuming that time doesn't get wound back before then for some reason.

[unknownrival]

Keep thinking about it. And if you need me to help at any point, you know how to reach me.

[stillneedawish]

Right. Thank you again for everything, Issei-san.

[unknownrival]

It's only what I should do as your friend.
