☆ WEEK FOUR ( MINGLE )

Magical Girl Raising Project

Monday-Sunday, Week 4

13 REMAIN

Today is quiet. Surprisingly so. There's no wake up call for the longest time, and everything seems to be almost scarily quiet. At least, until 12 PM, where the familiar voice of a female whom everyone will recognize as M chimes in.

"Hello, everybody. No need to come to the lobby or anything today for the announcement; this week will be a no murder week. The first reason is due to the Easter holiday. The second reason being because there's something wrong with Fav and this town. Meaning, I'll need you all to help me. You don't want to die because the town fell out of the sky, would you? Anyway, the task is pretty simple: find various colored eggs throughout the town. Easy. Certain eggs give you notes, some give you candy, but what I'm looking for is a body. There are eggs with body parts scattered all over. The eggs are small, but they can contain items that are bigger than itself. If you collect the body parts and reassemble them, this town will be safe. For the time being. If you do succeed, the lobby will become a ballroom on Easter Sunday, and I will provide proper clothes, music, and food for you all. Oh, and I fixed Zack's mess, in the dollhouse. That is all. And don't bother trying to answer back. I won't respond."

Of course, after her words are said and done, everyone who is alive will notice the slight static in some of the buildings, almost unstable. Sometimes you'll even find your hand going through things, occasionally. Even more so if you're in your magical form. Also, to note: apparently the network is down, even though transforming works just fine.

Nnnngh!

[Crown got the message, and will now hop onto the bed and curl up to take a nap. Good luck with this, humans.]

... Fine! Okay!

Kaine, can you ask it what the hell's going on?!

[dereban]

I can understand you, dumbass.

[At least now she's speaking in whatever common language everyone else is. Good work, guys.]

[zackthekiller]

Eh-

[Oh, uh.]

I thought you only spoke Japanese! The rest of the laptop was-

[This is it. He's talking to an actual computer. This is what his life has become.]

[dereban]

Just because my laptop was made in Japan and I'm Japanese doesn't mean that Japanese is my only language! I know English and a little bit of German, too.

[Way to go, Zack.] And whatever the common language is here, anyway.

[zackthekiller]

... Wait, are you possessing the laptop, or did you upload your brain onto this thing?

[dereban]

Hmmm... I wonder~

[She's not giving idiots an answer. Next question.]

[buylowsellhigh]

So... who are you? I'm Recette.

[dereban]

I don't really remember my name... but I was told that my name was Inaba Himeko. Ah, that's last name, then first, but please don't call me Himeko.

[hawthorned]

[...Wait. She recognizes this name.]

Stabbed in the back of the head while at the arcade....

[Yes, she's aware this isn't how you are supposed to start a conversation, but she's more looking to see how the AI reacts to this.]

[dereban]

I wasn't stabbed to the back of the head. It was blunt force trauma followed with the stab to the heart. If you're going to say something like that, get it right.

[zackthekiller]

... So you're technically a ghost now?

How long do you think it's been since this program was last turned on?

[dereban]

Yes. [That's her answer to her first question.]

As for the length of time... I don't know. Over a thousand years?

[zackthekiller]

A thousand years?!

No way!

[dereban]

Give or take, really... I mean, I lost count after a while, but there's something that keeps track of the years for me.

But yeah. Way.

[theotherother]

Holy shit.

[That's...yeah. Wow.]

[buylowsellhigh]

Ohmigosh... that must have been so lonely...

[Recette can't even process that.]

[dereban]

...

[She doesn't say anything on that front, her gaze lowered.]

Even if it was, it doesn't change anything. I'm dead and I'm probably not going to see Taichi again. I don't really have much hope in regards to that.

[buylowsellhigh]

Well... you don't have to be lonely anymore! We'll take you out of the room and introduce you to everyone. Except Fav. He's a meanie.

[hawthorned]

[......that gets her to smile actually.]

You're right, how rude of me to mess that up. I know you have low expectations of us, but I was wondering if you could clarify a couple of details for us.

[And no, she's actually not going to wait politely here.]

It's our fifth week here in Town A, and we've yet to understand much about M and how to put an end to this game. Any insights?

[dereban]

First of all: things aren't always as they seem.

[That's the first thing that she'll say, her voice even.] Second of all: the keys are key to ending this game. If you use them right. No, even if you use them wrong... the game will end with the keys.

[buylowsellhigh]

The keys.... Um... I know this is probably stupid, but... Is there anyway to... I dunno... bring everybody back to life? I mean... I've seen a ton of magical stuff here... so maybe it's not too wild?

[dereban]

There is... but it's not something I'm allowed to speak about. I have rules too, as a ghost.

[zackthekiller]

Called it.

[Hello, computer ghost. He is used to this rules for the damned bullshit. Share your wisdom.]

Can you tell us what those rules are?

[theotherother]

I'm guessing it's the thing we clicked. She looks too normal to upload her brain on this thing.

[He's not an expert, but that's more of a mad scientist thing, and Inaba doesn't look like one.]

[dereban]

I don't know if I should take that as an insult or a compliment, but it's more that I possessed this computer, really. Since this computer is mine, after all.
