Puella Magi Megami Tensei

[X] "Pretty colors...! Hehehe!"

You shake your head as you stoop down to the bluenette, "...I'm sorry I dragged you into this, Sayaka. You, uh, might have a concussion now, but hopefully all you need is rest!"

"Yeah..." Sayaka mumbles back, "...I like the crust, too."

...On that note, you pull your phone out and begin texting Homura.

>YOU: Just finished my business, where can we meet up?

While you have your phone out, you call Sayaka's.

"What the--?!" Patrimpas leaps up off of the throne, "Something just buzzed my ass!"

"Thanks for helping me find her phone...?" You offer an awkward smile as you pluck it off of the seat.

He scoffs as he sits back down.

You pocket Sayaka's phone for now, and head back over to the slightly less pale Sayaka. Let's see what you can do about those cuffs...

(DEX ROLL: 10+4)

With a quick movement to brush some hair out of your eye, you pluck a hairpin from your hair. You always figured these would come in handy!

...To be honest, that's the only reason you put these in your hair. You don't really like them, they're just practical.

After a little bit of finagling, you pop the cuffs open!

Sayaka instantly falls forward and softly puts her face to the ground.

"...Heh, hello, little ant...!" She mumbles to a pebble, "...Can I meet the queen?"

"There'll be another time to meet the queen." You tell her as you scoop her up into your arms, "Let's get you home, okay?"

"Okay..." Sayaka sounds disappointed, "...Will Koko be there?"

"...Probably not?"

"...Okay..." She stares up at the sky as you get the door open with your foot, "...Koko's pretty."

You blink, "...Is she?"

Sayaka tries to nod, but just rocks her head back and forth, "Yeeeaaaah. She should let Meduka do her hair, it'd look pretty. Prettyer. Double pretty."

You honestly have no idea what to do with this information.

"...Hey, did you know...?" Sayaka tries to look you in the eyes as you walk back to your Gang's hideout, "Meduka and Hammer like to stare at each other...! A-And Bit-Me is getting all kissy-face with Kwijibo, too."

"...Really?" You try to smile back, silently pleading with whatever deity is listening to get you both out of this situation, "That's interesting, Sayaka."

"I like green." Sayaka tells you without prompting, "Green is nice. But it's... It's gotta be light green, or it's a mean color."

You make it to the hideout, and begin to head to the Terminal.

"Do you... Do you wanna-- do you wanna know how my fav... Flav... Favorite song goes?"

You almost say no.

"I don't rember the words, but it goes... It goes..." She trails off for a moment before attempting to sing the 1812 Overture.

You stoop down and touch the Terminal.

You're back at Grandma's.

After struggling with the backdoor, it finally opens. Arisu stares at Sayaka in your arms, then back at you.

"Thanks." You nod to Arisu before stepping past her and laying Sayaka down on the couch.

You check your phone...

>Homu: We're circling back home to get some water and snacks. Wait for us there.

You stare at your phone for a minute.

[] ????????????????????????????????????????????

[X] "She's just resting."

>YOU: Sayaka is here, too. She's sleeping of something, and she was

"Y'know... Now that I think 'bout it..." Sayaka stares up at you, eyes unfocused, "Why are vegetables and fruit different? They're just, like, plants."

>YOU (CONT): is pretty out of it.

Sent. You put your phone away, looking down at Sayaka as she shifts on the couch, "Yuuumiiiii." She says for no reason in particular, "Mooooooo. Like a cow. Mooooomi. Heh heh. Moomi."

You glance at Arisu, who is looking at you with a face of pure confusion.

"Iiiiiii've got a seeeeecret!" Sayaka loudly announces, raising her hands up to the ceiling, "I used to have a crush on Moomi, when she first saved me and Meduka!"

You both turn back to Sayaka, a mutual concern between you.

"But now..." She waves her hands slowly, "...Koko is cuter! I wanna hug that Koko!"

The door slams open as Kyoko barrels into the living room, "Are you recording?!"

"...No?" You stare at her, unsure as to why she's here without everyone else, "Why?"

"Uh, duh, it's comedy gold!" Kyoko steps forward, pointing at Sayaka, "Plus, it gives me more ammo to use when I'm messing with her! C'mon, has she said anything embarrassing?! Spill the beans, Yumi!!"
