[April 1] [Puella Magi Madoka Magica/Tales of Legendia] I Want Answers
Title: I Want Answers
Day/Theme: April 1, 2011 "o beauty so ancient and young"
Series: crossover - Puella Magi Madoka Magica x Tales of Legendia
Character/Pairing: Homura Akemi & Shirley Fennes
Rating: PG
Warning: Spoilers for Madoka Magica through episode 10.
Author's comment: All bizarre crossovers this month can be blamed on my participation at No True Pair. ^^;
The story that made it's way to Homura's ears said that there was another magical girl living in the town below the lighthouse on the other side of the harbor. There was nothing particularly interesting about that part. There were bound to be magical girls of all sorts scattered across the earth. There was no reason why Kyubei would prey only upon their city and on the Japanese. When it came to other magical girls, Homura tended to only be interested in the ones directly around her who could interact with and effect Madoka.
But this "Shirley Fennes" was something different. If what Homura had heard was true- it was impossible to trust her sources, unnamed people on the internet- then Shirley might have one of the answers she was so desperately seeking. Someone called "Gnorma," who seemed to know an awful lot about being magical girl, possibly to the point of being one herself, claimed that this Shirley had transformed into a witch, but had managed to somehow return to her earlier state as a magical girl. It sounded farfetched, but Homura had replayed these scenarios so many times that she was willing to take a chance on a rumor. Perhaps it would give her a new tool to work with in her attempts to alter destiny and protect Madoka.
It was fortunate that Homura didn't have to venture far outside of Mitakihara to enter the territory of the mysterious magical girl with the flowing, wavy locks. She simply packed a lunch and rode the ferry to Werites Beacon, wandering around the docks for signs of witch activity, gradually working her way further into the town.
Something promising asserted itself off an alley beside several innocuous-appearing houses. And, on cue, a girl matching the online description (and Gnorma's sloppy sketch) appeared. She wasn't carrying any obvious weapons, only a quill pen. Her outfit was a sleek mixture of browns and pinks, made more fanciful by a motif of roses and the sea-foam like waves of her pale blond hair. Her eyes were wide and youthful- the two girls were probably about the same age- but her bearing suggested some sort of strength and authority, befitting of one who might have been to the other side and back. There was no way to know but to ask.
Trust was difficult to come by, even among magical girls. Homura transformed, catching Shirley's eye. "You're Shirley Fennes," she said, completely sure of her conclusion.
"Yes. Who are you? I've never seen you in Werites Beacon. I know all the other magical girls around here."
So there were others in Werites Beacon as well. What density for such a small region. Perhaps there was something about the area that made the local girls particularly suceptible to Kyubei's advances. "I'm Homura Akemi. I want to ask you a few things."
"Certainly. But first we need to take care of this familiar before it transforms into a witch. Do you mind lending a hand?" Shirley smiled sweetly.
"No problem."
