[X] Deliver Sayaka's note
...
Slight problem with that:
... Sighing, you decide against it - then smack your head and hurriedly toss the dress on before darting back out into the hall. You quickly walk down to Saya's room and quietly open the door. Glancing at the bed to make sure she's asleep, you step inside and place Sayaka's letter on the desk. Then you sneak back out, close the door, and return to your room. You take the dress off and put it away, then ... at some point, someone made your bed up for you. Maybe Homura has kobolds? Or maybe there are kobolds in the area who want to work for you? Hmm ... you'll have to find out. Later. You climb into the bed and make yourself comfortable, then let yourself drift off into sleep.

Mustn't Disturb the Kobolds
[X] Go back to sleep.


You sit on the stool and think for a minute. Lutecia has the magic she can work on, or she can watch over Agito, but you don't need her for anything right now, so there's no need to bother her. Saya's off doing whatever it is she's supposed to do, you suppose, and Homura ... might be awake, actually. Or she might still be ignoring the world. Still, you don't feel like seeing her right now. All you really feel like doing is curling up somewhere for a bit, really. Fortunately, you have a bed! You head up to your room, then pause. What if the kobolds are in there right now? You don't usually come back to your room so quickly, after all. Mustn't disturb them. You knock politely, then step inside and close the door. Everything appears to be as you left it, however, and you climb into the bed and pull the blanket up over your head. Homura never did get those heavier curtains.

Your eyes twitch open, and you sit up. The sun is beginning its descent toward the horizon, judging from the color of the sky, and you slip off the bed. Time to go do something. Your attempt to enter the library is thwarted, however, by a slight magical barrier and a small handwritten sign that says "Do Not Enter - Experiments in Progress." You smile, glad that Lutecia is still occupied. You consider trying to sneak in anyway, so you can watch her work, but if she put a barrier up as well as the note, she probably really means it.

Oddly, no one is downstairs, either. Not in the reading rooms, the dining room, the kitchen, or the main room. You frown - Agito could be with Lutecia, but where would Saya be? You suppose she might be there as well, so Lutecia could try the spell out without cutting her own hands. The lights in the main room are the normal ones, with just the pictures and not the detailed notes and plans. You consider changing them so you can study the other notes more, but someone is in Homura's rooms, so you sneak over and open the door the tiniest amount. You see Mami and Madoka sitting on two of the chairs, watching something on the screen ... you raise an eyebrow and step fully into the room as an archer on the screen rides a shield down some stairs in a castle, shooting arrows as he goes, before he hops off and the shield impales an armored soldier. It looks ridiculous. You must have made some kind of noise, because Mami turns around to look at you.

"Scarlet-san, good afternoon. Well, almost evening ... how are you?" She gestures for you to come over, and Madoka waves at you before turning her attention back to the screen. You take a few steps, still eying the screen.

"Where is everyone else? Except Lutecia, I mean."

"Akemi-san is sleeping - her arm was still bothering her after we reconnected it, so we made her rest. Thank you for bringing it back, Scarlet-san - Akemi-san seems much better now." Madoka pauses the screen and turns toward you.

"Yes, thank you so much, Flandre!" She gets up and hugs you, smiling. "Homura-chan is already much happier than she has been, I can tell."

"And Agito and Miki-san went out to buy some things for dinner. When they get back, we were planning to sit down and watch the third movie together, if you'd like to join us." She taps a small case on the table next to her. You glance at the case and then the screen, then back at the case. You did have some other things you could do - hunt for Kirika, get some clothes, maybe even see if there's a Witch nearby you could try to communicate with.

"Agito did say she'd make sure Lutecia would come down and watch it with us," Madoka says, apparently mistaking the cause of your apprehension.
