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..?"

But Maru's transformation interrupted anything else the Namekian might have said to express this sentiment. His expression hardened once more, returning to it's more usual sharp lines.
"You're right, they tend to expect their own strength to be enough to win every battle but those that fight to protect others tend to find an inner strength far stronger than the tyrants and sycophants of the universe. But 'kindness' is not 'strength' unless you forge it. And you cannot teach her how unless you first accept the truth and build upon it."
no subject
Madoka listens to the two speak, feeling kind of uneasy. And although she feels slightly guilty for it since it might exactly be a sign of her being weak, she can't help but reach out and cling to Maru's arm a little. It's just.. something about being near him like this makes her feel a bit stronger.
She doesn't say anything though. After all, she already acknowledged that she thinks she's weak. And judging by what Piccolo is saying, he at least doesn't think all kind people are weak? So it's probably just her that's weak, huh. Madoka can live with that without protest... She'll stand up for other people all day long, but standing up for herself is an entirely different story.

And then, just like that, it was gone.
Madoka's hands upon his arm and the warmth of her at his side made him break eye contact with Green Bastard and look down at her. And the anger melted away. He didn't like how sad she looked. He didn't think she was weak. She couldn't be weak. If she was weak they would never be able to fight together. She needed a strength of will that overrode simple physical strength, because Maru didn't have his own.
"I think we should go." He said to her, ignoring the other for now.
no subject
He, for one, wasn't particularly upset. He felt marginally bad for making Madoka sad and guilty, but that couldn't be helped. They would both get over it eventually, and if not then Piccolo would cross that bridge when he came to it. As for Maru, Piccolo thought the kid (or whatever, the vampire could have been old he supposed but it didn't feel like it) was a little over-worked but couldn't really blame him too much. The plus side was the vampire seemed to have a good heart. Piccolo could live with that, or rather, he could live with Madoka being friends with Maru because of that.
So if they were going to leave, it meant the Namekian would simply go back to meditating for now. So he waited to see what they would do.
no subject
She lets go of Maru's arm, but still holds the other's hand. The reason for it is clear enough - it's so she can actually politely bow to Piccolo before uprighting herself and speaking up again.
"I'm sorry, mister Piccolo. I'll work hard so I can become a strong kind person rather than a weak one." After all, it's not like she just wants to hide behind Maru. That's not what their bond is about. Maru makes her stronger by giving her the ability to fight, not just by protecting her. The girl doesn't exactly look like she's cheered up much, but she does at least sound like she genuinely means those words.
It's then that she looks back over to Maru, squeezing his hand slightly. "Hmm, you're right though, Maru.. Let's go, okay?"
no subject
He returned that little squeeze of his hand with a gentle one of his own, and a nod. "We go now."
Without looking back, hand still in Madoka's, he took the lead for once. Part of him wanted to just scoop her up and get out of there as fast as hos feet could take them, but he walked.
