[this video opens up with... an ordinary schoolgirl in an ordinary uniform. She's sitting in a rose garden, from the looks of things, and addresses the camera directly:]

Good evening to you; my name is Oriko Mikuni. I have an important question.

When connected to this community, is it normal for certain abilities to be lost or rendered otherwise inactive? It's quite an urgent matter.

I haven't heard of that happening before, but I think it would depend on what kind of ability you're talking about.

[fortheworld]

Precognition, in my case. It's not my only ability, but it's the only one that seems affected.

Assuming this isn't some coincidence.

[unknownrival]

I have heard of that happening during viruses, but otherwise... [Well, he thinks Doc Scratch is limited.] It's certainly rare.

[fortheworld]

So it seems; I thank you for your time.

Though... viruses?

[stillneedawish]

[ Mikuni...? why does that name sound familiar...? ]

Well, sometimes, if the community thinks your ability is too powerful somehow, or if it would cause too much trouble in other worlds it will interfere with it! That's happened before with some people I've spoken to. I think it's quite rare, though.

Welcome to the community, anyway!

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING]

K-Kaname Madoka...?

[bag_has_snapped]

["Oriko"? Wasn't that the same girl Kiriko had mentioned?]

...it's more likely with what the community calls "viruses". Outside of that, I think you're perfectly fine!

[Wait - skills and it's a teenaged girl and she's worried about them being lost...]

Are you... a magical girl?

[fortheworld]

[...]

So I've been told. Was there a reason to jump to that conclusion?

[selfished]

Nah, if that happens, then something's just wrong with you.

[ BLUNTLY.. but blunt is just how Kyouko works, okay. ]

[fortheworld]

...I thank you for your advice.

[justforyou]

Would it kill you to show some manners?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Ah, you're Kure-san's friend, aren't you? I'm Karen Minazuki. I wouldn't say it's normal, but it does happen from time to time with certain kinds of abilities.

Re: [video]

[fortheworld]

Ah, you've met Kirika? [but she didn't seem the type-]

It's a pleasure to meet you, and yes; I've been told.

[fugal]

[Mikuni? hasn't she heard that name before?]

I don't think I've heard of that happening, but the community is pretty strange.

[fortheworld]

[Kaname's friend?]

So it seems. Well, there's not much that can be done in any case.

[wildmelody]

Oh you're Kirika's friend, the one who she was so excited about. I'm Hibiki Houjou.

As for powers, I can't really say. Maybe? Depends on how strong it could be I'd think.

[fortheworld]

A pleasure to meet you; I'm glad you've given her support.

It was precognition, specifically.

[justforyou]

Oriko! You joined up, too!

[fortheworld]

So it seems; please take care of me!

[mightletyouknowme]

What can you do?

[fortheworld]

Precognition. Don't worry, much of the matter has already been explained to me.

[tenminutes]

Have you tried talking to Doc Scratch? He won't admit it, but I'm pretty sure there are some things that he can't do properly lately.

[docfoul]

[Ladies.]

[harbingersoul]

Abilities and circumstance remain the same. Change only takes place during a virus.

[fortheworld]

Well, it appears we have an exception.

permavid;

[eternallybored]

Why would an ordinary looking school girl be asking that kind of question?

[ And that in of itself is rhetorical. ]

[fortheworld]

...Because she would like answers. [why else?]
