She stood there, paralyzed in shock as the witch loomed in for the kill. All she did was blink. One blink and she wasn't staring death in the face anymore. She wasn't in the Witch's Barrier with Madoka and Sayaka, who were witnessing how once a powerful Puella Magi fell to her doom. Mami gave a start, finally noticing how soaked her Puella Magi outfit was. Even changing back into her school uniform did nothing to dry her clothes nor her hair.

'I'm... alive?' was the first thought that came to mind. She turned to look around at her surroundings, not recognizing each building, each little store she saw. What made the sight more odd was the glowing coral in the middle of everything. Mami felt a slight tingle at the back of her left hand, giving a gasp when she saw a mark of some sort on her skin, like she was branded by someone.

No, this wasn't a work of a witch. Her Soul Gem would have reacted to the changes, gone crazy at all of this. So, if this wasn't a witch then...

"Where on earth... am I?"

[She hadn't really expected to see Mami out and wet again, and she frowns slightly as overhears what she asked.]

What d'ya mean, where are you? You're in Vatheon.

[Duh...?]

[goldenflint]

Sakura-san...

[Does that mean-]

Have I been here before?

[gorges]

[Wait, what?

Kyouko just looks at her for a minute, before rubbing the back of her head.] Sheesh...of course ya have. Don't you remember?

[Well wasn't this just peachy?]

[goldenflint]

[Peachy keen.]

[Mami shakes her head, her expression shifting from pure confusion to graveness.]

I do not, unfortunately...

[gorges]

[Sigh. Vatheon was up to its old tricks again, wasn't it?]

Well, you have been. So if I say we're under water in a gigantic bubble with curses, it still won't ring a bell?

[goldenflint]

[Certainly looks like it was.]

[She shakes her head.]

No. Maybe... not now.

[gorges]

[Ugh. Well this was just great.]

Guess you're going to need the rundown for Vatheon all over again, huh? Not that there's much to tell.

[goldenflint]

If Sakura-san does not mind sharing that information... again, I would like to hear it.

[gorges]

Guess I don't. [Huff.] Well, ya got a Starfish on you that'll let ya talk to people here. Kinda like a cell phone.

[Uh...thinking, thinking...] Everything's free here, even the housing. So knock yourself out.

[goldenflint]

... a Starfish? [There was something poking her in her skirt pocket . Mami takes it out and there it was.] There you are. [ turning it over.] I see.

Amenities are for free? My, how generous this world is.

[gorges]

Yeah, real generous. Just making us all nice and cozy until those curses pop up.

But whatever, I can deal - it's everyone else that acts like it's the end of the world.

[Ignoring the fact that she got sick, and whined all over the network. But Mami wouldn't remember that anymore to call her out on it, would she? :D]

[goldenflint]

[She wouldn't even remember taking care of Kyoko >w>]

... Curses? This world can inflict something like that to its inhabitants?

[gorges]

[Oh darn.]

Yup. It's easy enough to avoid if you're not hit with it. Kinda amusing to listen to everyone complain, though.

[goldenflint]

So not all of us would be affected? Interesting...

What causes these curses to happen then?

[gorges]

Dunno exactly. I don't think anybody knows that.

[It's not something she had really dwelled that much on, really.]

[goldenflint]

There is no pattern to these curses... I see.

[She couldn't really dwell more on that. There are still more pressing matters to attend to. Like, her soaked uniform.]

Ah. [She looked down on herself.] I suppose I should get myself dry first.
