OOC// Sign-up here if you haven’t already. Anyway, to those who are participating, this scene takes place right after you die.
“Ngh…”
That was pretty much all the girl, Sakari, could utter. The last thing she remembered was when she felt a very harsh pain before… She gasped in horror as she remembered; she had stopped breathing and the doctors had… they announced her dead right after she stopped breathing… Those were the last words she heard before her thoughts were lost.
She looked around and saw nothing but whiteness. “… Where am I? Is this heaven?,” she said with a close to blank look on her face. Just then, the same cat-like creature she had met on the day her mother died appeared in front of her.
“Not quite,” it said, keeping a smile on its face, “you’re in an alternative dimension I made up just so I can talk to you and some others. Don’t you remember when your mother died?,” it said with a slight tilt of its head.
“… Yes, I remember. You granted me a wish, wasn’t that all—,” Sakari was cut off as the creature began saying, “No, of course not. You can’t just get a wish without paying for it.”
“Huh?,” Sakari said, tilting her head as the creature spoke.
“Your payment… Will be your soul,” the creature said, keeping the same smile as it had for the past few minutes.
“Wait, what?! My soul…?,” Sakari asked, almost horrified.
“Well, not really… But, your soul will be kept in a Soul Gem. Your Soul Gem will be… Your clock necklace. Place your palm on your necklace and relax. Your Soul Gem will appear in your hand when you do,” it said blankly.
“Um… Okay,” she said as she moved her hand slowly to the clock on her necklace. She did just as instructed and relaxed herself. Just then, she felt something in her hand.
“…?” She opened her hand and saw, what she guessed was, her Soul Gem. It was like a little egg-shaped trinket in golden binds. The gem shined in a bright, sky blue. It made her feel rather relaxed and at peace. “Wow,” she said in a monotone voice, not showing her feelings about the gem to the creature.
“Now that you have your Soul Gem, you can transform into a Puella Magi, or Magical Girl as some people call it,” the cat-like creature continued to explain.
“And why would I want to do that?,” Sakari asked with a tilt of her head again.
“To fight the witches, of course. I told you that when we first met, didn’t I? Or were you too set on getting your wish?,” the cat-like creature said, as if it were challenging her.
“Oh… Okay, what are witches then, and why do I have to fight them?,” she said, putting emphasis on the word “I”.
“Because you made a wish and agreed to it. You formed a contract with me, and you didn’t even know what you had to do. Anyways, witches are creatures who appear in the human world for some reason. They feed on negative human emotions. It’s your job to defeat them to get their grief seeds,” the creature said in response to Sakari’s earlier question.
“What happens if I don’t get their grief seeds?,” Sakari said as she attempted to challenge the creature’s words.
“Your soul becomes impure and you turn into a witch,” it said in response.
“Anyway, enough questions for now. Back to the other dimension you go, I have others to meet, so see you when I come check your progress. Remember to use the grief seeds to clean your Soul Gem~,” the creature said as Sakari began to disappear.
Once she disappeared from the creature’s dimension, Sakari began losing consciousness as she began to materialize in the other dimension again.
OOC// Soul Gems are whatever your favorite color is.
