first cut

[lookatmiki]

[There's a young girl wandering around the main tent, trying to figure things out. Why she's here, is this real, all of that good stuff. There's a red heart on her cheek, contrasting greatly with her mostly blue clothes. The red heart being there, however, means yes, she does "belong" here - as much as anyone can belong here, anyway - but that

How what is?

[lookatmiki]

Everything.

[lilcharmedwitch]

Well were you expecting something certain?

[lookatmiki]

[After a moment, the girl's expression turns and-- Pop! It's like she was smiling like this all along.]

Ah? Well, I guess you could say something like that.

[lookatmiki]

What's that supposed to mean?

[Not paying much attention to him or the cards, but some clarification would be nice.]

[lookatmiki]

The Ring Master? [she pauses, then shakes her head.] He did. I just...

Sayaka Miki.

[powerleaks]

Pretty much.

[He's outwardly shrugging, sitting on a floating, green scythe with a blade that looks like a bird's beak.] So you're new here, huh?

[lookatmiki]

[Despite everything, she can't help but stare for a moment.] ... Yeah.

What kind of trick is that? Magic?

[powerleaks]

Magic as magic can be. [He doesn't seem to have a problem balancing on the scythe, although it's moving... and he's sitting on it.]

[lookatmiki]

... How magic is that? [A little wary, but then, she's never seen a man use magic before.]

[What is it with humans and blue clothes? It doesn't represent their blood color, and it sure isn't an indication of their social status. So do they have to be wearing it all the time and confusing the dickens out of him?]

And there doesn't appear to be any way out, either.

[Don't mind Equius, he's just skulking in the background. It's sort of what he does.]

[lookatmiki]

[Sayaka looks less-than-alarmed for a few moments, looking for where the source of the voice came from, then calms down a few more later.]

What? Of this tent?

[bentbowarcher]

No, you can get of the tent. There are rides and games out on the grounds, but there is nothing past that.

[lookatmiki]

Maybe you just haven't gone far enough.

[prosecutorisrdy]

[ Catching the voice, assuming it's for anyone to answer to. ]

I beg your pardon?

[lookatmiki]

This is it.

[prosecutorisrdy]

What is what?

[lookatmiki]

[This is where I belong.]

This is "it", isn't it? I mean, there's not anything else I'm missing, right?
