Who: Madoka, her new kitty (Maru/Sleepy Ash) and you!
When: Day 2 of Fiddlesticks
Where: Everywhere on the train
What: Madoka is very excited about her new cat. And also likely making very bad life decisions for herself here by making a contract with a vampire.
Warnings: Likely mentions of vampirism.
(note: threads will mostly be between madoka and your character, maru might randomly jump in to pipe up on some threads, you'll know if/when it happens!)
( a: dining carriage )
If you've seen Madoka going anywhere on the train since yesterday, you may have noticed something new about her. Namely the fact that she's dragging a tiny black cat with her everywhere she goes.
Right now she can be found with it in the dining carriage, where she's seated at the table not to eat, but to instead draw in her notebook. She keeps sneaking glances over at the cat as it's sleeping on the table next to her notebook though, and after a while Madoka can't take it and giggles as she gently boops his face with the not-sharp end of her pencil.
"So cute.. Who's the most adorable kitty around? It really is you..!" She's staring at the cat with so much endearment in her eyes, but that's the exact moment where she looks up and only then seems to notice you being there too. Madoka's face immediately grows pink with a blush.
"A--Ah, I'm sorry!" Because apparently she feels the need to apologize for gushing over her cat publically..
( b: near the on board shop )
Or you may spot Madoka near the on board train shop. Apparently she's been using it, since the girl's arms are loaded with way too many chips for one tiny teenage girl to eat. There's six different bags in her arms, and the tiny black cat is precariously balanced on top of her head. It seems to be going well.. until one of the bags of chips slips out of her hands, falling onto the ground.
"Ah..!"
The girl is trying to pick it up, but it's a difficult process with her arms this full and her not wanting to disturb the sleeping cat on top of her head.. Someone please help the poor girl instead of watching her attempt to bend down and pick it up only to fail.
( c: anywhere in the train! open to madoka's close cr! )
(if you're wondering if you're close cr, then the answer is probably yes.. but feel free to check with me on plurk or discord!)
After a while she figures though that she should probably at least tell some people about the true nature of her kitty. It's going to be really awkward if someone sees him transform and freaks out about it in the middle of battle.. So while carrying the cat in her arms, Madoka makes her way through the train to try and look for people she's close to.
When she finds one of them, she'll offer a small smile and say: "Um.. Sorry, but do you maybe have a moment for me..?"

"And you're right that I do well there... but it's not nearly as much fun as being a wizard, and sometimes, well... it doesn't feel like it matters. Not as much as getting out in the world and helping people, you know?"
no subject
She laughs slightly though - maybe a tad awkwardly. "Although I guess your grades at school don't really matter for becoming a wizard, huh?"
It's not like they matter for becoming a magical girl either, after all.
no subject
Moving on, she answers, "Not really. One of the tendencies in those who are offered the Oath is being a big reader, but that's not exactly the same as being particular in what you're studying for, and it's not an end-all-be-all either."
no subject
She's learning! Or trying, at the very least. Madoka doesn't want to put herself down about this particular thing when Nita is being so kind to her about it.
She might also not be the least clumsy person ever though, since Madoka mostly avoids stepping on the dog toy.. Only for her heel to catch onto it all the same. Not enough to throw her off balance, but just enough for it to let out a loud squeak, which in turn makes Madoka yelp as if she's seen a ghost.
A moment later all the bags are starting to slip right out of her hands because of it.
no subject
"Did you get those books from the shop?"
The answer to that question is not quickly forthcoming, however, and Nita turns around quite rapidly, mind blanking on anti-gravity spells-
"Are you alright?"
But she's still there to help pick up the rest of the bags, possibly before they hit the ground.
no subject
For a moment she's quiet as she works at it, but then she slowly nods.
"And.. u-um, sorry, I guess I kind of got distracted from your question there for a moment.. But yes, I did buy those books from the shop. Why, do you want to read them too?"
no subject
He yawns and sits up before jumping off of Madoka's shoulder. As he does he changes, a puff of smoke and Maru starts gathering up the dropped items and then holds his hand out to Nita for the ones she had picked up.
"I'll take them from here."
no subject
"Ah, sure."
She hands the bags over, quietly glad for the distraction.
"Thanks, Maru."
As surprised as she is, she does mean that.
no subject
But she can - at least - notice that Nita seems a bit more surprised. So she first gives Maru a smile and a "Thank you, Maru.." before turning to look at Nita.
"Um.. Sorry if you got surprised! Maru isn't exactly a regular cat.. But he's still super cute!" At least Madoka seems less embarrassed now than a moment ago.
no subject
He did register being called 'cute' though. Maru was starting to think she enjoyed using that word.
"Hm...?" His attention was on Madoka first, and then her friend, his Eve's words making him finally realise the other was surprised by him. "... Sorry. I'm Maru. I'm not really a cat. Mostly... sometimes... I think it would be better if I was a cat." Then he could sleep and eat snacks and never be judged for it.
no subject
Nita shook her head, recovered now the surprise had passed - but she gave Maru a sympathetic, puzzled expression all the same.
"An easier kind of trouble to handle, that way?"
His hands were now loaded with chips, or else Nita would have offered a hand to actually shake (not sniff!).
Instead, she redirected her focus back on getting the doors. Only one carriage left now!
no subject
"Maru, you're fine the way you are."
no subject
"Oh..." But surely she would have liked him more if he was just a cat, right? Her friend got it at least.
"Being a cat is easier." There were no expectations. Even if they knew he was a vampire, a vampire cat was less a monster in most people's eyes.
no subject
"It may sound weird, but everyone deserves friends, regardless of who or what they are."
Everyone deserves a chance - or a second chance, even.
no subject
"T.. That's not weird, it's just the truth!" She quickly nods, as if she's determined to emphasize this point as much as possible. "See, Maru? I'm sure plenty of people here will want to be your friend! Everyone is so nice. And you're nice too!"
(This is exactly why just being a cat would be easier, huh.. Because he wouldn't have to endure this..)
no subject
His head lowered, he didn't really believe he deserved any of those things. But he couldn't find it in him to argue with both girls when they looked at him with such determination.
"... Alright." Is what he finally said.
no subject
"Want to go get settled, then? Think this next car has Madoka's place."
no subject
Especially since Madoka's attention is quickly distracted by Nita pointing out how close they have gotten. She almost didn't notice with how caught up she was in the conversation.
"You're right!" She politely bows to Nita. "Thank you for helping us get this far."
Even though Maru took over the bags near the end here.. but Madoka would still feel rude to not thank Nita for her earlier help all the same!
no subject
He moved past her, knowing at least where the door was now and then waited for Madoka to open it.
He liked Madoka's friend. She seemed nice. Scarily observant... But nice.
no subject
"Uh, let me know if you need anything, okay?"
That went for the both of them.
"It was good meeting you, Maru!" If strange... for both of them, no doubt.
no subject
"Thank you. See you later!"
no subject
Then he looked to Madoka with a raised brow. "... Did she know more about me than I know about me?"
no subject
Emphasis on think though. Madoka really isn't sure.
"Why? Did something seem strange to you?"
no subject
He poked at the door with the foot of his boot and looked at Madoka expectantly.
no subject
"Sorry, sorry! Come on, let's go in so you can try out these flavours!"
