[Video]

[And the video clicks on to show Tsubomi at her desk, fiddling away at some drawings. Seems like she's had a bit of inspiration. However, she lets out a small sigh as she shakes her head, erasing something. She looks up, blinks, then lets a smile melt onto her face.]

It's been a little on the slow side since what happened with Hayate... then again, I could use the break! Fighting almost every day can be exhausting...

Has anything interesting happened where you all are at?

[Nope, nothing can go wrong with a simple question, yes?]

Comments

[wildmelody]

Define interesting. [Hibiki gave off a delicate yawn.] These people aren't really entertaining for me right now. It's sad really.

[bag_has_snapped]

Entertaining...? I... didn't think they were meant to be?

[Confused Tsubomi is confused.]

[wildmelody]

They should be! But honestly Tsubomi you should really keep a good eye on your skin condition. You look so worn out lately.

[bag_has_snapped]

I-I do? [She blinks and quickly looks herself over. She blinks a bit as she realizes that... yeah, she does look a little worn.]

Mmm... I guess everything going on, I haven't really relaxed...

[wildmelody]

You should! A young maiden should at least give some thought to her looks. [She flipped her hair.]

[fightbymoonlight]

Why would I want to tell you something like that?

[bag_has_snapped]

Ah...! I-I was just curious! Y-Y'know, strike up some sort of conversation... m-maybe you have something, Yuri? It's okay, I won't laugh or anything...!

[fightbymoonlight]

I've got plenty of people to talk with already. It's not like I want to talk to you, or anything!

[bag_has_snapped]

B-But... Y-Yuri, I know you're harsh to me because of what I do, but... can you try to be a little more open? Please?

[And she's gonna give you a warm, caring smile. All she wants is for you to open up, Yuri~]

[fightbymoonlight]

Wha-! [Is Yuri... blushing? And now she's pouting while looking away too.] Y-you idiot, I'm not harsh to just you. Don't think you're different from anyone else or something ridiculous like that. Moron.

[anothersoul]

Nothing much to report, I'm afraid.

[bag_has_snapped]

Oh... well, no news is good news, right?

[anothersoul]

Exactly.

[fortheworld]

[when Oriko comes on she seems subtly... different, somehow. More imperious. Regal.

As if her very presence on your video screen is a gift bestowed by the heavens, and she damn well expects you to know it.]

I have been saving the world.

[bag_has_snapped]

[She can see that difference, but she isn't sure if this is natural or not.]

Ah, th-that's something! Are you okay?

[fortheworld]

[that question earns a quietly dismissive huff, as if the answer could never have been in doubt]

Of course, such things are nothing to me.

[bag_has_snapped]

Oh, well... o-okay! I just wanted to make sure, that's all!

[she doesn't like that tone all that much, but she can't help but be nice to her...]

[fortheworld]

[she does not fault her lessers for failing to appreciate her ability; such things will prove self-evident, though she does hold her fellow Magical Girls to a higher standard.

But of course, if this one (no, Himedere!Oriko doesn't bother to remember names) also requires her assistance, it is nothing to her to provide it]

And what your own concerns? If you require assistance, of course I can provide.

[stillneedawish]

Aha, well... nothing more than the usual sort of interesting things, I guess. Are you enjoying your break, Tsubomi-chan?

[bag_has_snapped]

Mmm, I have to admit I am. It might be boring, but I could kinda use the downtime, Madoka-chan...

[stillneedawish]

Mm, I can definitely understand that. When you're fighting the way you do, it's important to find time to rest and have fun, too. So I'm glad that you have some time to breathe!

What are you drawing?

[bag_has_snapped]

What am I drawing? W-Well...

[She timidly holds up a sketch pad with different outfit designs. You can tell that she's been working hard - a lot of erasure marks on there.

[stillneedawish]

Oh wow, that's amazing! They're all so pretty! I didn't know you liked fashion so much, Tsubomi-chan.

[omniferous]

Nothing much. Ninja missions. It's pretty boring.

[ it's only a half lie. ]

[bag_has_snapped]

N-Ninja missions?! Really?!

[Hey, that DOES sound exciting! To her, at least!]
