Indeed~!

...I did not expect to write so much, but it was easier than usual.  Don't expect this much in the future, and don't complain about the inevitable errors I left in.  I hate proofreading.

Spoiler: Alida Larsen (Devastator) (click to show/hide)

When you tell Pumsy your wish, he sits down, closes his eyes, and goes as still as a statue.  You wait, confused, until he starts speaking in a notably different tone from usual.

"Your father died because of corruption.  The captain of his ship was having a great deal of trouble recouping expenses, and had been cutting corners wherever he could.  In particular, he had laid off two of the ship's (already small) maintenance crew, and had bribed inspectors to not look too closely at the ship.  The former caused a slow buildup of failing systems, and the latter resulted in severe hull damage going unnoticed."

"A particularly severe storm hit at night, when most of the crew was asleep, and ended up causing a major rupture in the hull.  The intercom system system, which had been having issues, went dead shortly afterward; as a result, there was no real coordination at all, with some people thinking the ship was savable, and others rushing unorganized to lifeboats.  For his part, your father had tried to save one of his friends, who was injured in the chaos--he helped carry the wounded man all the way to the second lifeboat."

"The lifeboat had been overcrowded because the other lifeboat had been taken by the only engineer who had inspected the lifeboats, before anyone else could board.  That one ended up being found, and its lone occupant rescued.  Your father's lifeboat, on the other hand, had been damaged, and barely weathered the storm while taking on water.  Over the next two days, it gradually filled with water faster than the occupants could remove it, and eventually sank."

Pumsy stops talking, and opens his eyes.  He's visibly unhappier than he was before you made your wish.  He climbs into your lap and snuggles against you, not saying anything.


Three days later, you wake up to the whoops and sounds of your younger siblings.  Eva, your older sister, apparently let you sleep in for once... though she still shoots you a dirty look when you walk into the kitchen.  Gregory, who's barely a year younger than you, is trying to help Eva get the younger kids ready for school, but is clearly not able to help very much.  They're done by the time you get ready yourself, and then you and the other three that go to school are shooed out the door by Eva.  She doesn't go to school anymore, instead taking care of your youngest two siblings until Mom gets home from work.

Halfway to school, you belatedly realize you didn't get any breakfast.  You don't feel hungry, and wonder about that for a moment before looking down to see your soul gem, glowing with a radiant light.  Pumsy hasn't visited you since the night when you made your wish, and nobody aside from you seems to notice your soul gem... you've started to wonder if you're going a little crazy

Spoiler: Asha Tia (Nakéen) (click to show/hide)

Pumsy simply nods when you tell him your wish, and then presses up against your side as you lie in bed.  He purrs, and the aching pains that you had stopped being conscious of hours ago disappear almost all at once.  You quickly fall asleep, into the most restful sleep you've had in a week.

When you wake up the next morning, you feel amazing, better than you can ever remember feeling before.  Like you could run for miles and not feel tired at all.  You rushed to your parents' room, excitedly telling them about how got better, and they didn't need to worry anymore.  You shake your father, wrapped up under several blankets, but he doesn't get up.  All he does is slowly turn his head towards you, and once his cloudy gaze meets your eyes, he gives the faintest smile.  You immediately know it's real, unlike the ones he'd been giving you the last few nights, and you immediately know how bad his own sickness has got.

You hug him, crying, but he doesn't move any more, and his expression doesn't change from the placid look of peace he gave you.  Eventually you try to wake your mother up, but she doesn't even open her eyes.  You're scared to touch her face, you remember what happened when Dad touched Claire's face, how the skin--you shut your eyes and block out the memory.

The sound of Pumsy leaping up onto the bed breaks you out of your thoughts, and you turn to him, distraughtly begging him to fix this, to save them.  He guiltily looks away, and mumbles "I can't do anything for them.  Your wish isn't made by my power, it was made by yours.  Only you could have saved them."  His words don't make you feel better, and you beg him to do anything, or tell you how you could do something, promising to do anything.  He just keeps staring down, silent.  You curl up between your parents and cry.

Some time later, you feel Pumsy's paw on your cheek.  You open your eyes and glare at him in anger, but his golden eyes are full of nothing but concern.  "You need to leave.  Soon.  This sickness, it was caused by a witch, and-"  You interrupt and start to sit up, suddenly full of hope, and ask if killing the witch would save your parents.  He winces away from you.  "I... I don't think it would, now.  And you can't fight her anyway; she's... not like other witches.  As you are now, you'd be doomed, and just make her stronger.  You need to run away, maybe someday you can get strong enough to beat her."  You collapse back on the bed, all the hope suddenly draining from you.  Pumsy tries to comfort you, licking away your tears, but it still takes a half hour for you to finally get up and leave.

And so you took Pumsy's advice and ran away, leaving the witch to consume the rest of the town.


Almost two weeks later, you wake up in an uncomfortable bed, staring up at the dirty ceiling barely a foot above your face.  You notice that everyone else is gone, as you climb down from the bunk; apparently the other girls decided against waking you up.  A few minutes later you're down in the cafeteria, only to find that all the good food's already been taken.  You sigh and gather a tray of the tasteless junk that's left.

You don't really know anyone else here, but you do spot the girl who showed you around back when you first came here.  You think she introduced herself as "Aura"?  She was happy, and nicer to you than anyone else has been, so you go sit by her and her friends.  Almost immediately, their happy conversation dims to silence, and they all become very focused on eating their food.  Nobody says a word, and they quickly finish their meals, leaving you alone.  Aura's the last to leave, looking very conflicted and guilty, but eventually abandoning you in favor of chasing after her friends.

You stare down at the barely touched tray of food.  You're not even sure if it's worth eating, you haven't felt hungry since running away, and the glow of your soul gem seems to get weaker regardless of whether you eat or not; it's once radiant light is still vibrant, but getting duller all the time.

Spoiler: Mina Ross (Twinwolf) (click to show/hide)

Recently it's been hurting to speak, and all too often you have to repeat yourself to be heard.  When you speak to Pumsy, however, your voice is full of a clarity and confidence that's surprising even to your own ears.  He nods simply, staring into your eyes.  For a moment you're struck by their warm golden hue, but only for a moment.  They quickly fade to black, a black which grows to consume your vision entirely...


You wake up early the next morning, feeling better than you ever have before.  You throw the heavy blankets off of you, and get up.  You dress quickly and rush out to the dining room, where your mom is sitting and sipping coffee, while your dad argues with someone on his cellphone.  Both look worried, and your dad has a frighteningly angry grimace that you've only seen once before, when he physically threw that plumber out the door two years ago.

You pause in the doorway, having not seen them so clearly unhappy for a long time.  You hadn't realized quite how worried they were about you, and it makes you feel slightly guilty.  Eventually they notice you, and both of them freeze solid, unmoving.  You weakly wave to them, and your father starts hurriedly mumbling something over the phone, as your mom rushes over to you and starts gently touching your face.  Her touch is extremely light, like she's worried you'll break.

You smile and laugh, rushing forward to hug her.  She holds you tight, asking what happened, if you felt okay--you just comfort her and say you've never felt better.  She just hugs you tighter, and you close your eyes.  A few moments later, you feel your father's strong arms wrap around you too.

The three of you stay like that for a long time, but eventually your dad releases you, and puts his hand on your mother's shoulder.  "Mary, I'm going to go call in sick again.  Mina, anything... anything you want, just say, today is yours."  He then leaves, and pulls out his phone again.

Your mom then releases you, and holds you at arms' length.  "We're going to need to take you to the doctor, make sure you're okay, but afterward... anywhere you want to go, anything you want to do, we'll make it happen.  Okay?"  She sounds so happy, but she's still crying... you reach up to wipe away her tears, and only then notice the small ring on your index finger.  It has an inset jewel, which glows with a radiant light.  Your smile widens just a little, noticing it.

Spoiler: Tamazaki Tooru (KingMurdoc) (click to show/hide)

Pumsy appeared to you while you were hiding in the boy's bathroom, one of the few places Alison and her little gang have never thought to check.  Violet, your best friend, had tipped you off that they were looking for you today--apparently Alison got it in her head that you were the source of some rumor about her that had gone around... well, maybe she was right.  In any case, Violet had emphasized that Alison was much angrier than usual, and would best be avoided.

When you told Pumsy your wish, he happily chirped "Oh, that's easy!", and quickly ran out of the stall you were hiding in.  He didn't return, and you started wondering whether you'd imagined the little tiger cub... eventually, you figured it was safe to leave anyways, since Alison usually gave up pretty quick.  You ended up only missing one class, and it was history, so whatever.

Your worries about the wish-granting cat being just some weird hallucination were dispelled during lunch, when you noticed Alison actually got up from her table and relocated to one further away from you, almost as soon as you sat down.  She even kept glancing up at you worriedly, like she was afraid.  Violet was just as stunned as you, and you spent almost the rest of the school day excitedly talking about what might've caused her to suddenly act so differently--though you decided against mentioning Pumsy--and you felt like you were on cloud nine by the time school ended.

You got home relatively late, and found Taro already hogging playing Dark Souls on the gaming TV.  Knowing exactly what to do, you plopped down next to him and started excitedly talking about your day until he finally gave in and offered to switch to Mario Kart if it would spare him the gossip.  Eventually, your mom woke up, and came down to join you--you three ended up playing for almost the whole evening, stopping a couple times for food, but eventually Mom had to go to work.  Taro went to his room shortly afterward, and the rest of the evening passed uneventfully.


You get up early the next morning to the smell of bacon and eggs, and find your Dad setting the table, and Taro already wolfing down his food.  He ended up working really late yesterday, and went to bed basically as soon as he got home; you take the opportunity to tell him allll about yesterday, and he patiently listens to you.  Taro, on the other hand, complains about having to hear about Alison and her weirdness again, though he ends up just snarking intermittently.

Halfway through your meal, your mom gets home from the night shift.  You've asked why she has to go to work at night before, but the explanations have always been above your head, mentioning a lot of fancy business terms that you don't really get.  Dad offers her food, but she just waves one arm and grunts, before staggering to her room and presumably collapsing into sleep.  He sighs, and puts the last of the food in the fridge before leading you out to the car.  You want to keep talking during the car ride to school, but your dad politely asks you to stop before you drive Taro crazy; you relent, and Taro visibly rejoices.

You see Violet almost as soon as you're dropped off.  She rushes over and comments on your pretty necklace--surprised, you look down and realize you're wearing a thin golden chain, with a single gemstone hanging from it and glowing with a radiant light.  You quickly make up something about it being a gift from your dad, and she just accepts it easily.

That was odd, she didn't remember anything about this necklace. It was quite pretty, though; did gem necklaces usually glow like that? This probably wouldn't help with the whole "rich girl" thing though. . . but that wasn't supposed to be a problem any more, right? Yesterday was just so strange. Good strange, mostly, but she wanted to figure out what actually happened. She couldn't have imagined Pumsy, because she actually got her wish, right? The bullies weren't bothering Violet any more either, were they?

After asking about that, make sure to go to class on time and such.

[Nakéen]

Asha didn't mind. She deserved it after all, what was she told herself. Attachments were painful anyway. And being around someone as horrible as herself would only bring misfortune to these girls... She did was envious when she saw them laugh and smile. She missed that innocence she lost on that day.

She clutched on her sisters' ribbon. Claire...

When all the girls were gone and only her alone remained in the cafeteria, Pumsy showed up with that "Why did you even pick that food" look in its eyes. Not eating a bit, she went back to her room to prepare herself for classes.

Then she left the home and walked toward school, on the way picking up newspapers to look for recent "unnatural" accidents.

[Devastator]

My dad.. he was a hero.  He died, but he died trying to get people out.  And it wasn't for nothing, because I know it now.

And the captain.. Mr. Tanaka.  He shouldn't get away with this.  But no-one will believe me, I hardly believe it myself.

She looks down at her soul gem for a moment. Without this, I might not believe it myself.  I'm still a kid, though, I'll need to have proof.

Meet up with my friends on the way to school and head to class.  Ponder what to do for proof.  Try to forget about things for today.

[Twinwolf]

To be honest, Mina had not entirely expected it to work. She'd thought the wish was a fevered dream, or otherwise a hallucination. She'd pinched herself upon waking up and feeling literally better than she ever had, and no, she was in fact awake and healthy (also ow, she pinched herself too hard). Or at least felt like it, but for now she didn't particularly care about the details.

Mina didn't say anything to her mother just yet as she wiped away the tear - she just grinned widely as she lunged back into another hug. That ring - proof that it had happened. Proof that she would be ok, and that her parents wouldn't have to worry anymore. She heard both of her parents assurances that they'd do whatever she wanted, but right now, she didn't care.

After that, Mina would probably need to wait for her parents to bring her to the doctor.

((Note: Everyone who goes to school goes to a particular middle school which is attended by people from 12-15.  Apparently some countries have such schools, and it should be obvious why it's desirable to jam you all in the same place; I only have to destroy one school if I get too fed up with this.))

That was odd, she didn't remember anything about this necklace. It was quite pretty, though; did gem necklaces usually glow like that? This probably wouldn't help with the whole "rich girl" thing though. . . but that wasn't supposed to be a problem any more, right? Yesterday was just so strange.

The bullies weren't bothering Violet any more either, were they?

After asking about that, make sure to go to class on time and such.

Violet shrugs and points out that she shares almost all of her later classes with you, and Alison usually doesn't target her nearly as much as you, anyway.  She laughs a little and jokes that she'll stay close to you today too, since if Alison's searching for a new target she doesn't want to get picked.

...Violet ends up holding quite close to that plan when she can, only leaving your side for the classes she doesn't share with you.  It's actually somewhat annoying.  You never thought you'd consider History a reprieve, but it ends up being nice simply because Violet isn't there.  It's still boring, though, especially since you missed the last class and have precisely zero understanding of what the teacher is talking about.

[Creativity]

Halfway through the class, you notice someone.  An ashen-haired girl seated a bit in front of you, who you've never seen before.  Not only that, but she's wearing a ring which glows with a strange blue light, very similar to your necklace.  You end up being preoccupied with thoughts of who she is and why she's here for the rest of the class.  As everyone else starts to leave, you elect to wait and see if anybody else asks her where she came from, or even registers her presence at all.

...Nobody does.  It's like she doesn't exist, like she's a ghost or something.  She crosses her arms in front of her and lays her face down, creating a remarkably pitiful sight.

Do you approach?

Asha didn't mind. She deserved it after all, what was she told herself. Attachments were painful anyway. And being around someone as horrible as herself would only bring misfortune to these girls... She did was envious when she saw them laugh and smile. She missed that innocence she lost on that day.

Then she left the home and walked toward school, on the way picking up newspapers to look for recent "unnatural" accidents.

((Note for future reference: don't say Pumsy appears to you, or write his behavior.  I'm not particularly strict about RP, but if I don't say he appears, he does not; Asha has not seen Pumsy since the day she made her wish.))

[Innocence]

Your walk to school is uneventful, aside from when you nick a newspaper from someone's porch.  You flip through it looking for the name of your town, or even anything particularly unnatural, but find nothing of note.  It's as if the sudden death of an entire town went completely unnoticed by the world.  Apparently the only things people care about are politics, ads, and stupid stories about gross business prices.  You toss the paper aside when you get to school.

[Creativity]

It's only your second day here, and the day ends up being just as unpleasant as the first.  It feels like you were only thrown here because it's the place that young girls are supposed to go, and then you were forgotten about; throughout all of your classes nobody pays any attention to you, or offers you any assistance.  You coast through not understanding anything that the teachers say, and by the end of history, you don't even feel like getting up when the class ends.  You have a Biology class next, but it's not like you're going to understand any of that, either.

...You notice that one other person hesitates before she leaves class.  A girl with scarlet hair.  She doesn't seem to be paying any attention to you, though.  Nobody does.

My dad.. he was a hero.  He died, but he died trying to get people out.  And it wasn't for nothing, because I know it now.

And the captain.. Mr. Tanaka.  He shouldn't get away with this.  But no-one will believe me, I hardly believe it myself.

Meet up with my friends on the way to school and head to class.  Ponder what to do for proof.  Try to forget about things for today.

You speed up and outpace Gregory so you can meet up with your friends in time.  Soon enough, you sight Finn and Kim.  He waves to you happily, while she glares and points out that you're late, yet again.  They natter for a moment about you being late, as they always do, and then the three of you set off.

[Innocence]

You mostly ignore their chatting as you walk, preoccupied with thoughts about what you've learned.  As always, you can't really come up with anything.  The ship was lost with all hands except the single engineer, and your mother said that he had refused to talk to anyone, even professionals who were trained in getting people to talk about things.  Maybe it would be possible to try and find the wreck, and, like, lift it out of the water or something?  Maybe now that you're a magical girl you could do that?  You have no idea where it sunk though, Pumsy didn't say...

You're broken out of your thoughts when Finn grabs your shoulder and lightly shakes you, asking if you're okay.  He points out that you've been unusually silent, and Kim chimes in to say that you've been weirdly silent for the last few days.  Finn asks if something happened.

What do you tell them?

To be honest, Mina had not entirely expected it to work. She'd thought the wish was a fevered dream, or otherwise a hallucination. She'd pinched herself upon waking up and feeling literally better than she ever had, and no, she was in fact awake and healthy (also ow, she pinched herself too hard). Or at least felt like it, but for now she didn't particularly care about the details.

Mina didn't say anything to her mother just yet as she wiped away the tear - she just grinned widely as she lunged back into another hug. That ring - proof that it had happened. Proof that she would be ok, and that her parents wouldn't have to worry anymore. She heard both of her parents assurances that they'd do whatever she wanted, but right now, she didn't care.

After that, Mina would probably need to wait for her parents to bring her to the doctor.

Your parents soon pull you over to the table, and your father sits down with you while your mother starts preparing breakfast.  They keep looking at you oddly, clearly still disbelieving of how much healthier you seem to be; you try and keep a big smile on, to show that you really are better.  Soon enough, the food is done.

You haven't eaten a full meal in days, and can't remember the last time anything tasted as good; you wolf breakfast down in record time.  You're hurried out to the car immediately after finishing, and sit down with your mom in the back.  There's almost no waiting at the doctor's office, despite not even having made an early appointment--your father quips that it's the second miracle today--and soon you're being inspected by the increasingly frazzled doctor who's been failing to help you for years.

The various little checks and ceremonies are all rote to you, and feel like they're over in mere minutes.  Afterward, the doctor takes your parents aside to talk to them for a minute.  He speaks quietly, but you can still hear him clearly--he's warning your parents that this could be a temporary reprieve, and you might relapse.  They nod gravely, and then he returns to you, crouching with a smile, and saying that you're healthy, but that you should still be careful.

Once you're back in the car, your father looks back at you and again says that if there's anywhere you want to go, or do, he'll make it happen.  Your mother's quick to point out that just staying home is fine too, which makes him shoot her a look.

How do you want to spend the day?

"I'm sorry.. I was thinking of my dad.  I've been doing that a lot lately."

"I think he may not have died for nothing after all."

Put on a bright face and have fun with my friends.  Don't take things too seriously today.  Go to vollyball practice after school.

[Chevaleresse]

Tooru watched the girl out of the corner of her eye through the class. Was she a new student? Had she somehow just. . . not noticed her until now? Maybe it was that ring, it was kind of eye-catching. Either way, she looked less than happy. When class ended and all the other students besides herself and the ashen-haired girl had filtered out of the room, Tooru had sidled up to her desk.

"Are you as lost as I am in this?"

[Nakéen]

((My bad, noted!))

Asha lifted her gaze toward the scarlet haired girl, who was now right beside her. The girl talked to her, apparently trying to approach her. While a little happy from being talked to, she wanted to quickly go through what the girl needed, she obviously did. And their exchange would stop here, nothing would come good from hanging around herself after all.

Not changing her expression a bit, she answered in a polite manner.
"Excuse me?... Can I help you?"

[Chevaleresse]

"Umm, I. . ." Tooru grasped for a plausible excuse to talk. She stole a furtive glance at the girl's hand. ]"I just wanted to ask you about your ring! It's really nice and it reminded me of this necklace I just got. Plus I haven't really seen you around at all, so I kinda wanted to see if you were new or if we just hadn't met before."

[Nakéen]

Asha froze when she saw the girl's necklace, vibrant with energy.

No way. It... it is the same as mine.
Could she be like the same? Maybe she could understand? She wouldn't be alone anymore, she...

No. This girl shouldn't have to share my burden. She doesn't deserve this, I don't deserve her.

Asha suddenly stood up, and said:
"I'm sorry. You shouldn't talk to me anymore. The other girls are actually pretty nice, especially Aura. I'm sure someone like you will easily make friends there, and they will be able to help you much more than I." 

She struggled to maintain a cold voice, but Tooru could tell Asha was insincere.

Then Asha bolted out of the room with a fast pace.

[Twinwolf]

Who knew food could taste so good? It was hardly a 5-star meal, but to Mina her breakfast felt like that after she realized just how hungry she was. She'd even asked for seconds - rare enough when she was actually doing well (who has time to eat a bunch when there's things to do?), let alone when she's not (bleh, just remembering how food tasted the last... she didn't even know at this point... *shiver). But this time she wolfed it down probably faster than was probably entirely safe, downed her drink just as quickly, and then asked for more. Then, doctor time.

Mina had been quite cheerful throughout the whole process despite knowing full well she was healthy. A check-up would be boring, obviously, but if it reassured her parents she could handle it! They'd been so worried... she sorta felt bad about worrying them, even when she was always assured that wasn't her fault. She pretended she hadn't heard the doctor speaking with her parents and gave the doctor just as big a smile. "I knooow. I'll be sure to wash my hands,
 eat healthy, all the good stuff. I'll be careful, don't want to worry you-know-who more, right?" she said, the last bit fake-whispered conspiratorially to the doctor. She knew she wouldn't relapse - it'd hardly be a wish if all she got was a brief reprieve now would it? ...Although come to think of it, the only proof she had was that ring and who the heck knew what had been happening the last few- nope, nope not going down that train of thought.

As they piled into the car, Mina regained her high spirits... wherever she wanted? A girl can do a lot of damage with that broad a request... but she wouldn't, because honestly there wasn't a whole lot she did want to do in that vein. "...I've been cooped up in the house for who-knows-how-long already, haven't I? Is there a big park or something we can visit, do you think?"

^Make suggestion/request.

[Chevaleresse]

"Wha- But I already have friends. . ." she told the air where the girl had just occupied. She really wasn't a very good liar; why would she try to push Tooru away when she obviously didn't actually want to be left alone? A crestfallen expression crossed her face for a moment as she peeked her head out of the room, trying to see where the other girl had run off to.

Look for the ashen-haired girl - but only if I have time before my next class. If not, just go to that and try to think about where she went.
