text - there's a killer on the loose

[fortheworld]

As a warning to anyone in the Mitakihara area, as per our 'friend's earlier post, it would appear there is a Puella Magi hunting other Puella Magi.

It is currently only in my world as far as I am aware, but given our tangled timelines I can't guarantee that it isn't happening, has yet to happen or has already happened from the perspective of everyone else. If it's the latter, I would request any information on the topic; we're liable to be next.

Whoever is responsible doesn't appear to know about our primary weakness, but I would expect they are far from sane. Take care.

Kirika and I will be maintaining a low profile; with luck, the two of us will be able to guarantee our own safety. Do not worry about us.

-Oriko Mikuni.

Oriko-chan, please make extra sure to stay safe together with Kirika-chan, okay? I don't want either of you guys to get hurt, and it all sounded really scary..!

[ Usagi's not even from Mitakihara but she's worried all the same since mostly she just worries about other people all the time.. Even with all the stuff that happened in her world recently, friends are still her number one priority. ]

[fortheworld]

There are two of us, and we are prepared. If attacked, I promise you we will prove a very difficult enemy.

[justforyou]

Yeah... That's a bit worrying, Oriko. Why wouldn't they just go after the weakness if they knew about it? Some people just shouldn't be Magi, I guess.

My guess would be they just attack at random until the Puella gives out.

Most likely they are in the middle of a breakdown. If they are attacking girls rather than Witches, the problem should solve itself as a matter of time.

This house is our own territory and one person cannot manage a siege. We need just wait it out.

They'll just use their energy up until they turn into a Witch...

[Unless they've been using the other girls to kill the Witches for them and then stealing the Seeds off the corpse. But she's not going to mention that.]

We can't be sure of how long that is, though, right? We can't be certain they don't have access to Grief Seeds. Our own supply won't last forever--I'd still need to hunt.

[fortheworld]

Not in the immediate period; it can last. We should move together; being separate leaves us vulnerable. We're on the defensive here. If we hunt we hunt as one.

[ .. Huh. Being in the next town over, it's not as much of a problem for Kyouko, although she does eye the post. Well, it's fine if it just stays in their timeline or whatever, that Kirika girl is nothing but bad news and she's not sure what to think of Oriko either, although for entirely different reasons.

So in other words, she'll keep her eye out, but like this the situation seems juuust fine to her. ]

Oriko. You're not in any danger.

Trust me, okay?

private

[fortheworld]

That isn't up to us. I'm concerned for you as well; you've been out a lot lately.

[Kirika not being attacked had to just be a matter of luck, and that wouldn't last forever]

I wish to protect you as well, you understand.

[good... job... captain morals...]

[selfished]

[ It's a hard job, but someone's got to do it. ]

[fortheworld]

[yes yes take a biscuit]

[selfished]

[ don't mind if she does!! ]

private

[justforyou]

I understand but I know who the killer is. We won't be in any danger.

Please, Oriko, trust me on this. We'll be fine.

[fortheworld]

[there's a... pause, before Oriko's reply comes in]

You do? Why didn't you inform me.

private

[justforyou]

Because I knew you wouldn't approve.

[fortheworld]

[Oriko sighs...]

You've fought her already, haven't you. I would never disapprove of self defence.

[justforyou]

Oriko... You know I'd never hurt you, right?

[...Kirika really didn't want to admit this but. Might as well get it over with. Despair or being killed by a magical girl... it all ends the same way.]

[fortheworld]

[....]

Yes.

Is there something wrong?

[justforyou]

I'm the killer, Oriko.

[fortheworld]

[......]





That isn't funny Kirika

[justforyou]

I'm not joking. I killed those girls. I tried going for the Soul Gems but it's harder than it looks.

[fortheworld]

[it fits too well.]

Am I to conclude the anonymous article was your doing?

[justforyou]

I posted the link, yeah. Didn't write that thing, though.
