Magical Girl Raising Project

Monday-Sunday, Week 0

20 REMAIN

Welcome to the Magical World of Dreams and Magic! No matter where you are or if you're from a world with technology or otherwise, you've managed to find yourself holding a cell phone with the Magical Girl Raising Project preinstalled - a game with a rather deceiving title - with no way to actually uninstall it. Whether you're doing this voluntarily or tapped the screen by accident due to not knowing much about technology, eventually a magical fairy appears out of the blue from your phone and finally opts to speak.

you

really

There's just something about Fav's voice that's so compelling, and you're promised many good things to come if you just tap that screen... but if you wait too long, you'll find your body moving on its own to do the action, as if possessed.

Once that's all said and done, you will find yourself blacking out and the next time you open your eyes... there's a very unfamiliar ceiling in a very unfamiliar bed. The place you've woken up in is a rather lavish hotel room; modern, yet has a somewhat old-fashioned feeling to it. It's rather nice, at least in comparison to the view outside.

Welcome to Town A, your almost stereotypical dystopian city in your almost stereotypical world. If not for the fact that you can't really leave, due to the barriers that encase the edges of the town.

As of right now, the clocks read 9 AM in the morning - it's time to rise and shine, sleepyheads! And as if that wasn't enough, the voice of Fav will remind you of such to meet up in the downstairs area for a very special announcement, although he won't force people to meet with him, as it's definitely not an obligation. You could always avoid the announcement. But do you honestly think that's a good idea, given that you're in a whole different world?

[That's a question all right. Let him think about that one for all of a split second.]

Hell no.

[That request already looks super questionable, and while some part of him is glad someone actually asked rather than just taking his blood for questionable stuff (thanks dad), the answer's still no.]

You're not seriously gonna take that one, are you? Everything about it screams stay away.

Well, I expected so.

[Still! Her eyes are sparkling.] Once upon the time, I would've shied away from the dark arts, having been a divinatory once myself. However, should we not learn as much about this strange city as we can?

[She lounges back on her chair a bit. Tamamo is completely relaxed when she says:] Of course, I won't give blood myself. But we don't have to give our own blood, as long as it's magical, right?

[Wait, is she suggesting--]

It'd be fun to see what happens! As long as it's not my blood. ♥

[After all of that, he just makes a confused face and decides to ask another question of his own.]

What the hell is wrong with you?

[Because something very clearly is.]

[WELL, EXCUSE HER FOR BEING a manipulative bastard who throws other people under the bus--]

Come on, it's better that they come after us, right? Besides, it could be a good thing.

[...]

Most likely not, but, we could probably beat up whatever comes out of it.

Wouldn't be the first time I kicked someone's ass for trying, but I like my blood right where it is.

[Then again, he's not really sure how useful it'd even be right now since without his spider powers, is it...normal? Either way, it can stay inside him like blood is supposed to. He's sure that'll change at some point, that's just how his life goes, but for now, nah.]

Actually...

[This is a terrible idea, but..]

Do you think they know how to tell it's magical blood?

[Hmm... could be onto something here!]

Well, several things can happen! They can realize it's not and throw us out, or not realize it's non-magical and probably not have been very dangerous from the beginning if so. [Tamamo's fox ears (?!) twitch as she thinks.] Perhaps we could find one of those stray animals from around here and give their blood in as sample.

[Look, what else would you suggest--]

Yes, this is the perfect plan! We can pinpoint out whether they're a threat or not, then.

That's not exactly what...

[Never mind. He can already tell saying anything else is useless. But at least she's not trying to collect human blood now, so mission accomplished? Sort of.]

[When this ends terribly and maybe turns her into a dog, she's coming after you, Kaine.]

Well, of course, there's the issue of finding a dog in the first place... difficult enough to rescue one for the request, much less find a stray one no one will miss.

[TAMAMO YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL THE DOG TO GET A BLOOD SAMPLE WTF]

I already get complaints about returning them back 'jittery and scared'. What nonsense, isn't it better I return them in the first place?

[...Really...]

[what even]

Yeah, I haven't really noticed any...

[Wait, hold on.]

What did you even do that they ended up jittery and scared?

[He doesn't really want to know, and yet he asked anyway.]

I did nothing to them! I just returned them home, that's all.

[...The way she looks away shows she definitely isn't saying the whole story.]

They keep trying to wriggle away and escape! I've tried attracting them with food and scent, but it always ends in disaster. So, I just grab them more forcefully to bring them home safe.

[She still isn't making eye contact.]

Uh huh.

[He knows that look. He's given people that look.]

So what did you do?

Nothing harmful.

[...]

Physically, at least.

[................]

As long as it gets the job done! [Look, if they chose you as a Magical Girl, don't expect anyone else here to be top-tier saints, Kaine.] Besides, you suggested I should take fake blood first, so you're obviously not too worried about them yourself.

[HE DIDN'T EVEN MEAN REPLACE IT WITH ANIMAL BLOOD, TAMAMO]

[He just kind of stares as she goes on, nothing really getting a reaction until...]

I never said animal blood, what the hell?!

[He was going to suggest raiding the corner store for something that looked like blood.]

You implied it!

[good enough for her, tbh]

Besides, what else could I do?

[Apparently, her thoughts immediately gravitate towards bodily harm.]

Something that isn't that? And I didn't imply shit.

Well, I could fake blood, but I think that's too obvious for even the worst of us.

[Tamamo eventually just shrugs.]

But yes! Tamamo is certainly a do-gooder Magical Girl and I love animals. [A LIE] In any case, if I do manage to get a hand on real magical blood, that would be preferable, I suppose.

...are you trying to convince me or you about the whole do gooder animal lover thing after trying to collect blood and traumatizing stray dogs?

[He's just asking.]

Ugh, nevermind, enough of this.

[Both. Both count.]

If I could get away with dog meat pie, I would, but...

[It's a legitimate food source!!]

Don't talk to me anymore, I'm taking a nap.

Sounds good to me, I'm gonna go see if I can find a drink.

[And he's off to go...not ask why dog meat pie is something Tamamo would bring up. Seriously, what the hell is with this woman?]

[Wonderful, this works out for everyone.

Tamamo proceeds to return to her room and nap. Whew, at least they didn't end up fighting this time.]
