♐ 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? ]

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."

Right. I'll keep that in mind.

Oh! Then we really are in a similar position! Maybe he should start keeping a notebook like me, hehe. But um, I guess you're right. I don't think even someone strong enough to be called a Destroyer of Worlds would be much use at something that's got a lot to do with rewinding time.

Re: [locked]

[of_many_treasures]

He could do that. It might help considering certain events keep happening, like Shinji Kido becoming Kamen Rider Ryuki in every scenario. And probably not, Tsukasa would need his Complete powers to even stand a chance of winning. If that.

Re: [locked]

I'll have to find him and talk about it. Thank you so much for telling me about him.

Re: [locked]

[of_many_treasures]

Any time. It'll probably do him good to connect with someone other than his usual circle of ridiculous Rider friends.

Re: [locked]

[stillneedawish]

Hehe, right.

Oh, I do have a question, actually. What is a Rider?

Re: [locked]

[of_many_treasures]

A Rider, hmm... an armored hero, male or female who does battle against monsters, evil corporations, the whole nine yards. In short, Japan's longest hero group in our worlds. You could say we're like magical girls, but we often take our powers from the evil groups and use it for good. Like Den-O using the power of Imagin, or W using the power of Gaia Memories.

Re: [locked]

[stillneedawish]

Oh, wow! That's really impressive! Especially using the power of the evil groups for good... I don't think that's what most people would expect a lot of the time.

Re: [locked]

[of_many_treasures]

That's what Riders were. It used to be that a Rider was born from kidnapping someone of inordinately strong will, and then being modified into a cyborg. Nowadays Riders can be born in almost any different methods. And yes, most people wouldn't expect us to be using the power of evil for good.

Re: [locked]

[stillneedawish]

That's so different to anything I've heard of before... all of it, really. So they don't kidnap people anymore?

Re: [locked]

[of_many_treasures]

Well, depends on which origin you go with. There hasn't been any major groups kidnapping and modifying people into cyborg humans, that's an old Shocker thing to do.

The most recent Rider uses the power of over infinity generated by human desire to fight against beings created from limitless greed.

[stillneedawish]

I'm glad about that, at least.

So... he basically uses something that's both the same and somehow the opposite at the same time?

Re: [locked]

[of_many_treasures]

That's right. OOO uses the power of greed and desire to fight, and protect those who can't protect themselves.
