☆ WEEK ZERO

Magical Girl Raising Project

Monday-Sunday, Week 0

20 REMAIN

After Fav has given out all of his important speech, everyone will finally have access to the Raising Project Chatroom on their phones, a virtual space where everyone has miniature-sized versions of their magical versions of themselves in their magical form as avatars. While there isn't much to explore, it's definitely good for conversing in the town if you're in rather different locations.

And maybe, perhaps, you'll find some other clue in here?

TUESDAY AFTERNOON

[hawthorned]

[Honestly she's never used a smartphone in her life and she's still trying to get the hang of it. After trying and failing to change her avatar from "Dollie" to literally anything more sensible, she gives up and posts:]

Good afternoon, everyone! My name is Dahlia, and I'm wondering if anyone would like to accompany me on a walk through Town A? I'd like to draw a map of the area, but I'm a little nervous about exploring alone.

[perfectbeing]

There isn't much to be nervous about, unless you're afraid of wandering too close to the skeletons.

You have my interest, however.

[He's already started making a mental note of the place and doesn't have much need to explore with others, but at least "Dollie" is doing something equally sensible rather than participating in the inane tasks right out of the gate.]

[hawthorned]

[Perhaps dispelling any notions about Dahlia's usefulness here, her reply is a little slow. Because apparently phones are still stonedaged in 2017 in her world, thanks capcom.]

That sounds a little spooky, yes....

I'd be honored by your company, Mr. Granz.

[perfectbeing]

[Ah, Ace Attorney technology...

Szayel doesn't think much of it though, assuming Dahlia must be multitasking rather than hanging around in the chatroom with baited breath.]

Fortunately you have your magical form at your disposal now, right?

[Unless she hasn't gotten the hang of that yet. In that case, that's her problem.]

Where would you like to meet?

[hawthorned]

[Szayel's hit a bullseye there; she hasn't actually tested out this magical girl form just yet. She's watched others transfom, but frankly she's just a little leery of magical powers that transform boys into girls. Perv powers, you see. That amongst other less trivial reasons that she isn't going to discuss in a chatroom now that she's aware Fav and this "master" frequents the damn thing.]

...True enough, I suppose. I'll overcome my silly hesitation, surely.

Would you like to meet at the lobby, Mr. Granz?

[perfectbeing]

["Hesitation", huh? So she hasn't gotten the hang of it. He'll definitely make a note of that...]

That is fine with me. As it happens I am currently in my room, so I can be there shortly if you would like to begin right away.

[hawthorned]

That would be ideal, yes!

[Doesn't really want to hit sunset in Town A, really. Irrational as that may seem.]

[perfectbeing]

Very well. I'll be on my way.

[selfloving]

[Equally unable to relax with the people who are more interested in mundane tasks and games--none of which would bring her any joy here or elsewhere--One (whose avatar looks so strikingly similar to the version of her in residence at the hotel that she seems to have missed out on the magic of transformation entirely) at least sees this as an opportunity to accomplish something.]

But you wouldn't be nervous about walking with a stranger? [Hm.] If that's really how you feel, we could go together. We have the same goal.

[hawthorned]

[At the very least, she's getting a little faster at texting now that it's becoming more familiar!]

It is how I feel for now, yes. I would much rather walk with those who have also been taken from their worlds than trusting in the safety of a world that has driven itself to ruin....

Perhaps it's a little naive of me, but I would like to think that we are all united in this.

[....Or so the "correct" answer goes. In reality... well.]

[selfloving]

[Fast learner, meet fast learner.]

Yes, that's what I hope as well. It takes more than one person to rebuild from the ruins. We should come together if we can.

Let's go, then. This is our responsibility.

[hawthorned]

[It is absolutely not "our responsibility," but guess who's good at playing along... for now.]

Yes. If we can combine our efforts, then surely we'll only be stronger for it.

When and where would you prefer to meet?

[selfloving]

For now, the hotel is our base of operations, for however long that lasts. Might as well keep it that way. [The closeness it allows them could be either a blessing or a curse. Since One sees most of the others here as young, a little ignorant, the possible dangers don't seem quite so loud.]

An orientation point will help, and there could be a better place on the walk.

[hawthorned]

Establishing a secondary base could prove to be useful....

[Especially considering the fact that if you look at it from another perspective, Fav and this master of his want</> them to be at the Sakura Inn.]

We ought to see if anything looks promising.

[sedatedkiss]

If you need assistance, I suppose I could help. Getting some reconnaissance on the city would be a good idea.

[hawthorned]

I'd appreciate any help, yes! Gathering as much information about Town A as possible would be very useful for all of us.

[By which she means, for her really, but that's a little detail that can be left out. Surely.]

[sedatedkiss]

[Well, Joshua may not be interested in the greater good either. Intel is intel.]

I guess that's a plan, then. I'll meet up with you when I can.

[hawthorned]

That sounds wonderful! Please feel free to message me whenever you're ready.
