week 1, wednesday

[usogi]

[senri's wandering around today - and it's remarkably quiet wherever he finds madoka. he smiles upon this realization and comes toward her with a skip in his step and a happy hum]

Madopyon! ♪ Got a second?

[frilly]

[ madoka tends to just be chilling in the courtyard, enjoying the scenery and the outdoors. she's sitting on a bench, idly kicking her legs, but stops when she sees senri. ]

Oh! Hello, um, yes...! What's up?

[usogi]

[she's precious as usual.

senri just hums a happy little note and moves to sit next to her]

I've got a present for you - and an invitation!

[frilly]

[ she scoots over a little bit to make sure he has plenty of room. ]

A present...? How come? And - an invitation to what?

[usogi]

Those are both answered by the same thing, actually!

[and senri's also a magician - so it's a quick flick of his wrist and he'll hold a beautiful red rose out to her. it's thornless, so it's pretty safe to take]

I'm running errands for Beauty - this is from him. He'd like you to come see him when you can too.

[frilly]

[ oh! she takes the rose. ]

How pretty...! [ which... makes sense if he's doing this for Beauty. Madoka tilts her head to the side, though. ]

He wants to talk to me?

[usogi]

I think so! Makes sense to me that Beauty would be happy to talk to a pretty girl.

[he's so careless, please make him stop]

He doesn't have that many followers right now, so I think he'd like to talk to more people in general. When I met with him, he was really nice, so I thought I'd help out.

[frilly]

[ she. sputters a bit but. that's fine!!!! ]

I don't mind talking to him, at least... Do you know where, or... How I'm supposed to?

[usogi]

Does Madopyon know the Altar Room? It's down that way!

[he'll even point in the direction helpfully]

If you leave the rose in the bowl and pray, hoping to see Beauty, I'm sure he'll call you to see him.

Have you not tried to talk to the other gods yet?

[frilly]

[ she nods, and sets the rose down in her lap. better now lose that, then. ]

I've seen it, but I've only talked to Patience, so far. I wasn't sure what sort of thing to give them, or even what I would say if I talked to them...

[usogi]

[senri tilts his head at that]

Hmm... Yeah, it's pretty open-ended, huh. I was stumped, too.

I didn't know exactly what to do, so I just started trying to reach all the gods that held their hands out to me. I think at least the god you chose would be super happy to see you!

[frilly]

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]
