announcing room service! (evening after the mission)

[magicurls]

[ One of the resident healers looks a little tired, but she's relatively fine. Time to hold it together for the others. ]

Hi everyone! Mami here.

I know we've all faced a long week and a difficult battle, and some of us are so worn out we can barely stand. Hiking to the dining car is difficult even with the transport ring, isn't it?

That's why I'm starting room service runs for people in need! Meals delivered directly to your door. For tonight's meal I'll be bringing a choice of coconut soup, shrimp stew, or chicken curry, and a dessert choice of coconut cream pie or macaroons. I'm also willing to take special requests if you have any more specific needs, or if there's something special to you that would make you feel better.

If anyone's willing to help me with cooking, delivery, or cleanup, I'd really appreciate it, but don't worry. I can get through this myself with a little planning.

Oh, hey, good to see you.

[Kyoko takes the plate from Mami, seemingly in a much better mood than she was when the mission ended.]

So I got to talking with Usagi, [NOM] an' she thinksh she can make shomething [GULP] that'll keep your Soul Gem from breaking when it fills.

[magicurls]

Keep it...from breaking?

[ Mami had stopped thinking about it when Entrapta-san disappeared. She would simply have to focus on not giving in to despair. ]

That might keep everyone safe...but what would happen to my power?

[redmeguca]

That's... probably up to you, really. Ideally, you'd get a Doppel of your own. Ophelia already told you what's needed, so it depends on if you're ready or not. If not, you'll probably have to fight a weaker version of Candeloro or something.

[magicurls]

A doppel...

[ Mami munches on a spare macaroon while she thinks about this. She isn't usually a snacker, but...]

If I try it...you'll be there, right? To stop her if something goes wrong?

[redmeguca]

That should go without saying, you know I've always got your back. We'll bring Usagi too, and maybe even the other me.

[magicurls]

...I'll have to talk to her. That would be wonderful, but I don't want to make things worse or risk hurting anyone.

[redmeguca]

Alright, but I doubt either of 'em would say no. Other me is still me, and Usagi would both want to help and see the results of her work. Still, it's probably not going to be ready for a while, so we've got time to prepare.

[magicurls]

Right. Thank you, all of you.

I'm just...still having trouble believing it. That I can be saved from this.

[redmeguca]

I didn't believe it either, not until I saw how bright my Soul Gem was after the first time Ophelia appeared. For the first time in two years, seeing fire was actually comforting.

[magicurls]

That's...really wonderful to hear. I hope this works, so we can all breathe a little easier.

[redmeguca]

And even if it doesn't, Magical Girls don't turn the moment their gem fills unless they've already given in to despair. Will like yours, we should have enough time to get Rosetta to burn off enough corruption to be safe.
