You're right! I wonder if it was rude not to reach out sooner... Even if I still don't know what to say...

I'll be sure to talk to Beauty, and the others, too.

[usogi]

I don't think so - you've been overwhelmed with a bunch of stuff so it's hard to know where to start. That's what I'd say.

I'm sure they'd all still be happy to see you. A lot of them are really nice from what I've noticed.

[frilly]

I'm glad. Maybe they're all nice to you because you're nice.

Even overwhelmed, you thought to talk to them first.

[usogi]

Ahaha, first impressions are just really important to me, that's all...

And besides - I wanted to get to know more about the game! You're participating because you have something important to you too, right Madopyon?

[frilly]

First impressions are important, but they're not everything. I've made lots of friends who weren't very nice at first.

[ hmm. Madoka nods. ]

Yes, sort of.

[usogi]

[senri thinks of takaomi who is the rudest bitch in all the land and how they will never be friends

and he thinks that it's nice that madoka makes friends anyway :^) ]

Hm...? Only sort of?

[frilly]

It's a little bit difficult to explain...

I want this all to play out in the best way it can. That's all.

[usogi]

Hehe, I like the sound of that too....

What does that look like to you, Madopyon? Everyone gets to achieve their wishes?

[frilly]

I don't think that's realistic, but I would like it...!

... Um, what I'm hoping to do is reduce the entropy of the universe.

[usogi]

[ . . . . ]

Mm, sorry Madopyon, I don't think I caught that.

Come again?

[frilly]

[ that's a fair response. but all she can think to do is just repeat herself. ]

I want to reduce the entropy of the universe.

[usogi]

[ . . . . . ]

I -

I'm having a hard time visualizing it....

[frilly]

[ please don't make me explain it because i can't. ]

Just think of it as keeping the universe running smoothly. That's what I want.

[usogi]

Does... Does it not already?!

[he didn't learn about this at school]

[frilly]

It... Does. But... [ hmm. she mulls over how to explain this simply. ]

There's a certain amount of decay, so I want to reduce that.

[usogi]

.... is this about physics? If I had to take a guess at what you're saying, it would be about physics.

[he's so lost i'm losing my mind]

[frilly]

You could think of it as physics, sure.

[ why not. ]

[usogi]

I don't know if that actually helps me understand.

[he will die confused]

... it sounds like something really big and lofty though. Do you really need to worry about all that, Madopyon?

[frilly]

[ Madoka gives a small laugh. he doesn't need to understand, that's fine. ]

... I'm sort of responsible for it, so - yes.

[usogi]

... Um. Responsible for the universe?

[he needs

help]

[frilly]

In a way. There's another race that's really doing the work to sustain it, but I made their methods less effective. For a good reason, but...

[ well, now she feels somewhat responsible for making up for it when there are ways that she can. ]

[usogi]

Another - race?

[????]

Madopyon, it feels like there's a lot going on. Can I ask you to start from the beginning? If you're okay with sharing?

[frilly]

Oh - you're right, it's a little bit complicated, isn't it? I don't mind telling you, it's not a secret.

[ Not when everyone here is from different worlds. Hmm, where to begin... ]

[usogi]

[ . . . okay, he'll buckle up.]

.... Mm, even if it's not a secret, thanks for trusting me.

[frilly]

S-so...

[ She knows this is going to sound ridiculous, but. ]

This basics are that... Emotions create energy, and that can be used to reduce the entropy of the universe. There was a race called the Incubators that thought the amount of emotional energy from young girls would be worth harvesting, and so...

There was a system. In exchange for one wish, girls would be given magic, and take on the duty to fight witches. But in exchange for the hope those wishes created, there would always be equal despair, and eventually the magical girls would turn into the same witches they had fought...

I used my wish to change this system. No one should have to become what they fought, or have to fight what their friends became. No one should lose themselves like that.

But... This new system I created isn't as effective.
