For a moment, you come to a decision, certain of what you want to Wish for. But after a moment,
you reconsider because of a vague feeling that your original wish would have ended in a strange way.
"Kyubey." You say levelly, and it tilts it's head. "I Wish to be able to support my friends and family. Be it shelter, transportation, rest or resources! Anything they need, I want to be able to provide!" With that, you feel a tugging on the core of your being, even as Kyubey's ears extend out towards your chest.
Something begins to crystalize as you feel the breath pull itself from your lungs, your being aching with pain for an instant that seems like an eternity as light shines through the junkyard, a kaleidoscopic prismatic spray of colors.
Staring into that light, you see
potential.
You see so many futures, some where you continue walking on without your friends, some where you revolutionize some part of the world, some where you're just a regular girl.
They condense into a simple gem, and you wonder now how exactly Kyubey found this. That was not included, in his infodump.
But as the light dies down, you raise your hands to cup the gem that formed. It's not like Homura's, or Oriko's, or Kirika's. Sitting in your hands it has a top that doesn't look like the rest-it seems to wear a fool's cap, and the intricate designs on the metal have etched in them the roman numerals, with tiny gems coloring them in. Sitting in the largest gem is an overlapping 0 and 22, in such a way that hurts your brain to try and rationalize-they are inseperable, one and the same.
Then, you notice.
You feel a sort of pressure in the back of your head, and you frown, before you feel it disappear.
And like a bulging sack, you feel information tumble out, and you simply
know what you can do. But you refocus on Sayaka before you dive into the mystery, and you aren't too late to hear her wish.
She opens her mouth to speak, "I Wish that I could be useful to Homura, and the rest of my friends!" You almost want to groan, instinctively, because that wish is horribly open ended. And then you double take, because Homura and Sayaka have to have talked more because Homura looks not at all surprised by this.
But as her newly formed soul gem settles in her hands, Sayaka
gasps.
"Whoa. Whoa. Oh, that's weeeeeird. Hey, Yui, why are you-wait, you disappeared-what?" She whips around to look at you, and you blink, before your eyes widen.
"...did you get short term combat useful precognition?" You feel almost upset at how useful that would be. Homura seems suddenly interested, and Madoka seems to be thoughtful. Kirika is...
Kirika is beaming at you, and you blush and look away.
"Um, yeah. Sorry, um, all of you, I'm trying to figure out how to turn it off, so if you guys could not talk for a bit? I'm hearing you in future present senses separately simultaneously. Oh, that is strange." Sayaka is silently concentrating for about 30 seconds, before she pumps a fist in triumph.
"Okay! Now I'm not gonna hear your question before you even say them. To reiterate, it is strange to have separate tracks for seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling into the future. It's like I have a whole new set of senses that only work with the future sense." You turn inwards to try and figure things out as Kirika and Madoka begin to ask questions and Homura occasionally buts in.
You...the core of your power is the ability to create. You know that much. Currently, there are three things that are 'prebuilt', for lack of a better word, into it. One is a sort of fort you can conjure for shelter. You know, somehow, that it would enter you into a battle of wills of sort with the Witch if done in a barrier. The other is for aiding your magical girl allies in combat and...it's also transport. You can't help but grin as you consider that it isn't exactly what you wanted, but it is cool. And the last one is...
Huh. You're not sure. Unlike the others, you just have a vague sense of the 'what'. It's a doorway. "Um...I'm gonna try something with my power, around the corner." The other nod as Sayaka is testing the limits of her ability, and you move around the corner and focus on that 'doorway'.
And a velvet door appears in front of you, a blue butterfly flying out of a crack before it shuts and locks. You get the feeling that the time to enter is later, but that this is a door to the Velvet Room.
You move back to the group, detransforming, and they turn on you.
"Soooooo, Yui, what's yours?" Sayaka turns to you, before grinning.
"Oooh, very nice." She howls with laughter as everyone else gives her a slightly dirty look, and after it subsides she wipes a tear from her eye.
"Okay, okay. I'll stop using it to troll, now."
You pout, but look to the others. "My power is to create constructs. Currently I have a fortress, a surprise, and something that's neat but kinda useless. Summons a velvet colored door." You'll broach the topic of the velvet room at a later date. "I'm certain that I can develop more with some effort, too. So...infinitely expandable power?" You grin as Sayaka excitedly congratulates you, Homura simply nods.
And Kirika cannonballs into you, knocking you over in a hug.
"That's great!" She beams at you.
"We have similarly versatile powers. Like we're soulmates or somethin'." Then Kirika blinks, blushes, and looks away abashedly. You can't really look away, because Kirika's got you pinned to the ground with her hug, but you could probably act as a lighthouse right now.
"Gasp! Madoka, my waifu, avert your eyes!" Sayaka says theatrically, to giggles from Madoka as Sayaka solemnly covers the girls' eyes with her hands.
Homura...isn't even paying attention to you, her brow is furrowed at Sayaka with something you think is faint jealousy? You're unsure.
"I hate to break up the celebration, but there is a Witch not far from here. Perhaps we could hunt it, and provide a first hand glimpse as to the powers in action?" Kyubey pipes up.
"As it would also count as experimentation with Yui's powerset intersection, and costs and harm would be covered as per our agreement."
You blink, looking at the other magical girls.
"She deserves to rest as soon as possible." Sayaka says in a sombre tone.
"If Yui wants to." Kirika unentangles from you and is bouncing on her feet, and you frown as you realize that she
wants to go fight the Witch, but she's deferring to you.
"It's too dangerous. Half the group is new, and Kure is barely any better, though she fights well." Homura's opinion has weight, as the veteran.
"I can handle it myself." She pulls her hand back and runs it through her hair, and you feel a little vindicated as the entire group stares at her rippling raven hair.
Madoka looks at her twintails before getting thoughtful.
It seems like you'll be the swing vote either way.
[] Hunt the witch.
[] Let Homura handle it.
----------------------
You are all absolutely right. The reading I get of that first wish is precog. I should've checked the wording more closely, but thankfully there are technically more votes for this anyways, otherwise we would've had a bit of a hiccup as you and Sayaka get basically the same powers, because long term precog is on the no-no list...partially because writing it would be a pain, partially because it's just really strong and falls into that 'story breaker' list in a few ways.
