Um..! I-I'm sorry, I know there have been a lot of people talking over this lately, but there's something I really wanted to say.. [ That's probably relatively less strage fright than last time, but that's since last time was a disaster, okay. She still looks a little nervous.

She pulls out her notebook, shoving off a drawing. (Except with the girl on it wearing the usual train outfit.) ]

This is my friend from back home, Mami Tomoe. She showed up here the other day. And.. um.. maybe you've already met her! O-Or you haven't! But either way, I really hope everyone here can be nice to her.. or maybe even become her friend? She's really amazing to be friends with..! Mami-san is so cool, and she's super nice, and she is smart and give great advice and she's really mature and she also makes really delicious cakes..! [ And also desperately needs friends. Hence why Madoka is on a mission. ] B--Basically.. um! Anyone who likes being friends with me.. Mami-san is all that, but even more amazingly! So please think about talking to her when you see her..!

[ She even politely bows. And manages to not hit her head this time. Good job, Madoka. ]

T-Thanks for listening!

[And Mami gets more than just the voice she expected, this time; an older brunette, kind-looking but tired.

She gives a knowing look at the screen, nodding.]

She is.

I'm Nita; you're Mami, then? It really is nice to meet you.

[magicurls]

Oh...hello!

[ She looks a little embarrassed. ]

It's nice to meet you too. I'm glad Madoka has so many friends to count on.

[Nita nods, giving a thumbs-up.]

It'd be harder not to like her, honestly. She cares a whole lot about everyone!

So, what sorts of things do you want to do, that you don't normally do at home? Hobbies you never had time for and stuff like that?

[magicurls]

Do you really have time for hobbies? Hmm...let's see. At home I went to school, cleaned, and cooked. There wasn't time for much else, and it sounds like we have to do all that here too.

Though maybe I should get involved in training.

[unfavorableinstigation]

You'd be surprised how bored people can get in places like these.

[Peter and Gwen's Ice Bucket challenge will only serve to prove her point, really.]

And training's never a bad idea, I can confirm that. We're usually stuck with the Gym car, and clearing the space in there. There's morning sessions for all kinds of things; pick a weapon and there's probably someone here who can also use it, or wants to learn.

[magicurls]

Mm. I think I'd like that. It's important to stay sharp. so....any morning?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[She nods.]

Yup.

[After a pause:]

Watch out for fast-moving balls, though. We have a lot of hard-hitters on the train.
