[Madoka is sitting on her bed in her pyjamas. Her hair's loose, her knees are drawn up to her chest and her arms are wrapped around them. She doesn't look happy. Not at all. It's a little too dark to see her face properly, so you can't tell if she's been crying or not, but when she speaks, she sounds as if she might have just finished.]

... Hello there, everyone. Can I... um, is it okay if I ask everyone a favour? Could someone talk to me, please? I-I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight...

Thank you...

Um - haha, I don't think we've met before, have we? I-I'm sorry that this has to be the first time.

You're welcome--

Oh. We haven't, now that you mention it. No, don't worry, it's my mistake, I should have--

Charles. Charles Xavier. That's my name.

I-it's nice to meet you, Xavier-san. [She wipes at her eyes a little. never let it be said that she can't still be polite.] I'm Kaname Madoka, but th-that's my name in the Japanese order. Calling me Madoka's fine.

It's nice to meet you too, Madoka. You can just call me Charles, then.

Do you want to talk about what happened? We can just talk about something else. Whatever you'd like.

[vidya forever]

[stillneedawish]

Okay then... Charles-san.

Is it... is it okay if we talk about something else?

[vidya forever]

[fruitfultempo.livejournal.com]

Sure, that's all right.

Do you want to play twenty questions? You think of something, and I ask yes or no questions to find out what it is. That should pass the time, I'd think.

Or is that a bad idea?

[vidya forever]

[stillneedawish]

No! N-no, not at all... that's a really good idea.

Okay, um... so I think I've thought of something.

Great!

Is it bigger than, let's say, a bread box?

[vidya forever]

[stillneedawish]

Ummmm... no, it's not.

[vidya forever]

[fruitfultempo.livejournal.com]

Alright then.

Is it a living thing?

[vidya forever]

[stillneedawish]

No! [she may be getting into this now...]

[vidya forever]

Can it fit in the palm of your hand?

[vidya forever]

[stillneedawish]

Yes! Well, as long as your hands aren't that small.

[vidya forever]

[fruitfultempo.livejournal.com]

[Small laugh and a wave.] No, that's not a problem, really.

Is it something you can wear?

[vidya forever]

[stillneedawish]

No, not even close.

[vidya forever]

[fruitfultempo.livejournal.com]

Can you make a mark with it?

[vidya forever]

[stillneedawish]

No... Fifteen questions left.

[vidya forever]

[fruitfultempo.livejournal.com]

Right, got it.

Is it electrical?

[vidya forever]

[stillneedawish]

Nope.

[vidya forever]

[fruitfultempo.livejournal.com]

Can you eat it? Without getting sick, I mean.

[vidya forever]

[stillneedawish]

Yes, it's food!

[vidya forever]

[fruitfultempo.livejournal.com]

Is it usually sweet?

[vidya forever]

[stillneedawish]

No, savoury.

[vidya forever]

[fruitfultempo.livejournal.com]

Do you eat it hot?

[vidya forever]

[stillneedawish]

Sometimes. It can be cold or warm.
