Casual greeting.
It kinda already won...
Nah, it was either ZA WARUDO or make something uniquely Homura in the tradition of making unique music-based Stands, but the vote moved forward before I could take the time and construct something fun based on "Magica", "Mada Dame Yo", "Decretum", "Inevitabilis", or any of the other Madoka tracks, or something else appropriate from other music.A quest where we play as Homura who is Kotomine expy, and also happened to have "ZA WARUDO" as her Stand?..
I am so happy right now you have no idea!
Pity that we missed on opportunity to have King Crimson as our stand, if only for sheer "WTF just happened" reactions.
Also did no one voted for Killer Queen? Really? But he is such a cutie!

What stand do you have?
[] Lovers: Pain Reciver Extreme.
[] Emperor: It's a gun that control the bullet path.
[] Killer Queen: Make anything into a bomb
[] The World: Time Stop.
[] Radio Ga Ga: Swiss army Knife in stand form, an OC stand.
[] ???: It's also a suprise.
Even so, I would have rather voted for something unique (if anyone had come up with something significantly well-crafted) than any of the existing options except for The World. Besides, with @Look to the Left being less familiar with JoJo, didn't want to stress 'em out about getting the details of the sub-stand Epitaph right in combination (and considering our time-stops tire us out, I'm sure King Crimson would have been nastily draining).I belive that "mystery box" option was stated to be King Crimson.

We could have made a Stand that wass more cute than Killer Queen and plenty strong, you know...

F*king masterpiece, this quest.OOC: Thanks again for @LostDeviljho for spellchecking. Also, incoming Jojo stuff!
"Hello Madoka Brando Kamane, mind introducing me to your friend?" You said with a small smile.
"Uh.... This is Mami Tomoe and uh..." Madoka was fidgeting a lot. "That's not important right now! Your arm's broken and you're badly hurt!"
"Oh this?" You pointed to your mangled arm with your good arm, grief seed still clutched in your hand. "Yeah, it's broken." You deadpan.
"But... Doesn't it hurt?" Madoka asked.
"Like you wouldn't believe." You answered blasely.
"Which is exactly why we should seek medical attention as soon as possible! Even a magical girl like you can't handle such serious injuries!" Mami said with a serious expression.
"But... I'm not a magical girl." You replied.
Mami blinked once. "What!?!?" Mami shouted in surprise.
"Please keep it down Mami, you'll wake up the neighborhood." You said.
"But then how did you defeat that witch? That's isn't supposed to be possible unless you're a magical girl! Did you break your arm because of that?!?! I mean, how can anyo-" Mami's babbling was ended by The World grabbing her mouth forcefully.
"Calm. The. Fuck. DOWN." You said to Mami in a low, forceful tone. Mami responded with a few silent nods.
The World released it's grip on Mami's mouth and slowly retreated back to you.
"What... What was that?" Mami asked with a confused expression.
"My stand: The World." You answered. Mami just looked even more confused.
"Uh... Guys? Still here." Madoka interrupted.
"Oh, sorry Madoka." You said to her casually.
"So... What're you going to do with your arm?" Madoka asked meekly.
"Oh, right, I forgot about that." You said, wondering how you forgot about your mangled arm.
Looking over your now ruined arm, several thoughts started bubbling in your head, before you settled on one.
First thing's first, though. You threw the grief seed to Mami. "Here. I think you have more use for it than I do."
"Uh... Thanks?" Mami said, still trying to get a grip on the situation.
Using your now free good hand, you searched through your pocket and retrieved your phone.
"Um... What are you doing?" Madoka asked.
"Calling an old friend." You answered as you brought the phone up to your ear.
After some ringing, you finally connected. "Hey, this is Homura, I ne-"
"Already on it." Replies a voice from the other side.
Off in the distance, you spotted five silent vehicles approaching. One ambulance, two SP vehicles, and two private security trucks.
As the vehicles stopped, a girl with white hair, wearing a fedora, a purple jacket over a white shirt, with a black knee length skirt and dress shoes, stepped out of the back door of the ambulance smiling and holding a photo depicting you in your injured state, with a far zoom to reveal the street.
"You and your goddamn spirit photos." You said with small smile.
"Ah... Who are these people?" Madoka asked, confused as to what was going on.
"Oh, I guess I forgot to introduce myself again." The white haired girl said, smacking herself on the forehead. "My name is Oriko. Oriko Speedwagon."
----
20 minutes later.
----
The Speedwagon Foundation never ceased to amaze you. 20 minutes ago, you were in the streets with a broken arm, leg, and shoulder. Now, you were in a hospital bed in one of the world's foremost medical research facilities.
On the way here, you exchanged a lot of info with Mami and Madoka. Apparently, you can become a Magical Girl by asking any wish you want from the incubator you met, although it does kinda sound fishy to you. An omnipresent wish like that must have at least some sort of cost. Also the fact that you actually never introduced yourself to Madoka kinda slipped your mind.
Mami herself was having a hard time processing the information you had given to her. Madoka on the other hand, handled it far better, and even proceeded to surprise you with her own secrets.
"...I'm actually not a magical girl." Madoka admitted.
"Then how're you able to jump across buildings like Mami?" You asked.
"I'm a..." She seemed like she was choking on the words.
"...a..."
"Come on, you can tell me." You said.
"...half vampire..."
"Huh?" Did she just say what I think she said? You thought to yourself.
"...half vampire?" She offered, wincing. She looked like she was screaming internally as she said it.
"Oh... Okay, I guess?" You'd never dealt with a vampire this socially awkward before.
"Wait, you're not going to panic?" She asked, looking simultaneously relieved and confused.
"I've dealt with vampires before, including one that shoots femurs at people." You responded with a one shouldered shrug. "It's not really all that shocking for me."
"OH, THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!" She cried, acting as if that was the greatest thing that had ever happened in her life. "Everyone always freaks out when I tell them that! Even Sayaka freaked out and tried to smash my brains out with a pan!" She said, tearing up. "You don't know how much this means to me." Out of nowhere she jumped and landed on your lap, crying her tears out.
"Uh..." You weren't sure how to react to that. You tried to comfort her by laying your hand on her head, but it only caused her to cry more. Maybe if you were less emotionally dead, you'd know what to do.
A moment later Oriko stepped in the room. "Hey guys! I'm back with the resul-" She trailed off as she took in the scene.
"Uh... Am I interrupting something? ...And where's Mami?" She asked.
"Mami?" You asked, only now noticing her absence.
"Oh, Mami?" Madoka asked, sitting up. She seemed to have cried herself out, only sniffling a bit, rather than the waterworks of a minute ago. "She said that she was going home to gather her thoughts."
"That's understandable." Oriko responded, before turning to you. "So, Homura..." She said, gazing at you with a serious expression.
"I have the results from the doctor's exam, and good news: Your left leg and right shoulder can be fixed and treated."
"What's the bad news?" You asked.
"Your left arm is completely pulverized." She answered.
"More detail please?" You said, raising an eyebrow.
"The muscle tendons connected to your shoulder are severed, the humerus is broken into 68 pieces, the elbow joint is split in half with your skin the only thing holding your arm together, your hand is now unusable even with surgery, and finally, your radial nerve is severed, leaving you with paralysis in that arm. You're lucky that your arm wasn't ripped off wholesale." She answered.
"So... That means I got one arm left then?" Your day just kept getting better and better. And this was just your first day of school.
"But..." Oriko said.
"But what?" You asked.
"I GOT SOME MORE GOOD NEWS!" She crowed, spreading her arms wide and grinning like a loon. "Thanks to advances in cybernetic technology, you can just replace it with a shiny new one! Whad'ya think?"
"What kind?" You asked.
"Oh! Right, I think got something for that..." She said, patting down her pockets before reaching up to pull a brochure out of her fedora and hand it to you.
What kind of arm you gonna get?
[] Cybernetic arm with an extendable blade built into the forearm
[] Cybernetic arm with a built in computer
[] Cybernetic arm with a built in rocket
Afterwards...
[] Continue talking with Oriko
[] Talk with Madoka about her vampirism
[] Sleep, you fucking need it
The arm and afterwards votes are separate.[X] Cybernetic arm with a built in computer
[X] Talk with Madoka about her vampirism
This *is* an X vote, and not an order of preference vote, right?
...... WHAT!?"Oh, I guess I forgot to introduce myself again." The white haired girl said, smacking herself on the forehead. "My name is Oriko. Oriko Speedwagon."
No. Nonononononono-
-nonononGODDAMNIT! You took it away from me!
RULES OF NATURE!
Ah.... Sorry about that?...... WHAT!?

Seriously, half-vampire? That shouldn't be physically possible.
It's fine. I just wanted to be right for once. Oh well.
Well you see, when a human and a vampire love each other very much...It's fine. I just wanted to be right for once. Oh well.
But seriously: Half-vampire? How does that even work?
My jaw hit the floor like you wouldn't believe."Oh, I guess I forgot to introduce myself again." The white haired girl said, smacking herself on the forehead. "My name is Oriko. Oriko Speedwagon."
What the hell Sayaka?!"Everyone always freaks out when I tell them that! Even Sayaka freaked out and tried to smash my brains out with a pan!"
This. Soooo much this. Makes far more sense CxWell you see, when a human and a vampire love each other very much...
My serious guess would be she's actually half Pillar-Man, and simply doesn't know the difference.
HOLY SHIT YOU'RE ON TO ME!!!My serious guess would be she's actually half Pillar-Man, and simply doesn't know the difference.
Yeah, that'd make sense... comparatively. After all, Giorno's half vampire, but all that really does for him is make him DIO's son, and even that ended up kind of irrelevant.Well you see, when a human and a vampire love each other very much...
My serious guess would be she's actually half Pillar-Man, and simply doesn't know the difference.
