starsand | 【OPEN FALLEN STARS MEETING】

It had been less than twenty-four hours since the cherry blossom's tree became even more unstable, spewing out dangerous goo that frightened many of those who lived in the lower level.

...However, if now wasn't the time to hold a gathering, then when?🗈

Hence why Hanyuu puts up the big sign at the bakery - it may be devoid of the owner, but that doesn't mean that she won't take care of things there as well as using her powers as a kami to have her voice reverberate throughout the upper levels.

There is no sign of the childish tones that those may be familiar with as she speaks.

Instead, it is replaced with clear power, and a serious edge to them, booming like a broadcast through a megaphone:

"Fellow Fallen Stars, citizens of Starsand, if you can hear my voice, then I implore you to help. I wish to find a solution to our current issue, so I would like to work together with all of you.

We shall meet at the bakery to discuss the more intricate details of the current situation; there will be food provided to everyone. I will also offer my personal protection here as well.

There is no need for those of you to get involved if you do not wish for it. However, I would like for you all to listen, at the very least."

That is all she can ask for, really.

And of course, her words ring true: the bakery is open for this purpose as Hanyuu stands tall in her miko garb with serious, but determined eyes, feet several inches off the ground.

But as promised, there is a variety of food as well, stemming from actual meals that could be found for a picnic to cute desserts such as creampuffs.

OOC: This is an open mingle meeting log to discuss the current rumor and is open to all characters involved. As this is a mingle log, please do not hesitate to threadjack or tag around as needed.

A witch..?

[Madoka watches as she puts the mushroom away. She looks to be fine, so maybe it's a world difference thing? After all, Madoka used to think of witches as cute girls who flew on broomsticks.]

Did you grow those with magic?

Not on purpose! [She smiles, all awkward bluster.] I screwed up a spell in the first week of class and they just started growing. It's worse when it's dark or rainy, but they grow pretty much all the time. So it's not like all witches where I'm from have mushrooms, it's just a me thing.

Oh. Um... Sorry if this is weird, but. Are they... edible?

[can she cook with them?

mushrooms taste good in food.

... Wait, Madoka. Focus!]

I mean! Sorry. More like, uh. I've just never heard of that kind of magic before. It sounds really useful.

I don't actually know? I'm a little afraid to check. It might be like those mushrooms I heard about once that make you sick because they're genetically too close to humans? If that's a real thing and not just an urban legend, I haven't actually read into it. But that's just a theory, anyway, since they come from me.

That's a real thing?! Oh no... I guess that makes sense why we shouldn't try to cook them...

What other magic can a witch do?

That's what my friends and I are working on finding out! Okay, at our school, they teach us spells with long incantations that conform to the basic elements and some unaligned, although Amrit and Hazel are pretty sure some of the "unaligned" ones are life and they just don't want to tell us because life magic isn't allowed, but that's a whole other story. But the Arcanology Club -- name pending, a couple of us think Banes of Destiny is cooler -- found out that you can actually just use the building blocks of the sounds instead of speak the whole spell! If Hazel were here, she'd give this whole winding explanation. But I guess you actually just asked what we can do, so the answer to that is that the sky feels like pretty much the limit right now.

[Madoka is having a lot of trouble keeping up with all of that..! Ultimately, her summary is super simple:]

So you're saying that you're a really cool witch?

I'd like to be! Right now I'm just kind of a mess of one who gets picked on, but we're working on it. Look at this!

[She pulls out her beat-up secondhand wand, says something suspiciously like air-cookie-yeet, and points at a poor neglected macaron that suddenly flings itself over to their table.

...Unfortunately, she fails to catch said macaron, and it hits the wall behind her. Velda sighs and picks it up to throw out.]

[Madoka doesn't see failure. She just saw a girl fling a macaron like a badass using a magic wand..! Her eyes are wide with awe and she can only imagine what other amazing things that the future holds.]

Wow... I can't do stuff like that. oh- I'm a magical girl, not a witch, but uh... Maybe we're a bit similar?

Really? What's a magical girl and how's it different? That sounds kind of fun.

Well... For one, I can transform and wear a cute dress! And I can create a bow with my magic and shoot magic arrows too. Oh, and I'm a healer?

That's pretty impressive! And it'll be useful if something goes wrong, too. I bet you're good at it.

Oh, that's...

[Madoka feels the colour gathering in her cheeks,] I appreciate the thought. I-I'll be doing my best... Let's both do our best, actually! For the poor spirit...

Sounds good to me! And if we get back all the people it kidnapped, that'll be good for everyone.
