Hello people of Luceti!

...this is working, right? I've never seen a book that worked like a computer before.

[Ahem.] My name is Hoshikyo. And today is your lucky day! You see, I just so happen to be a magical girl. For those of you from worlds that don't know what that is, it basically means I'm a school girl turned super hero. I may not look it,

Super hero, eh? Seems like a bit of hard work, to me, without much reward.

[Voice]

[magicalesbian]

[Semi-mocking tone.] I think saving people is it's own reward!

[Then, flatly:] That and it's not like I have much choice in the matter. If there's something I can do, I might as well do it, you know?

[Voice]

[dun_measure_up]

[Small snort.]

I've heard that before. Don't see any reason you have to do anything.

[Voice]

[magicalesbian]

It's better than sitting around doing nothing, right? Besides, it feels nice. Helping people.

[Voice]

[eyesofpity]

That sounds like quite the mistake you made in coming here.

[Voice]

[magicalesbian]

It's not like I did it on purpose. [Huff.] It just happened!

[Voice]

[eyesofpity]

[And excuse Leonhardt today, definitely got up on the wrong side of the bed after getting no sleep.]

None of us came here on purpose either and we're all quite stuck here.

[Voice]

[magicalesbian]

Really. I had no idea. [Wait, wait, she should be nicer. Come on, these people are stuck here too. They have a right to some crankiness...]

...so. How long do people usually stay stuck here?

[bloodypocket]

... Are you sure your powers will work here?

[magicalesbian]

I wouldn't be talking to you if they didn't still work a little. Magical girls have to transform using their magic!

...though I haven't really tried using anything else.

[bloodypocket]

Then you should test them out before advertising your help, shouldn't you? [Duh.]

[magicalesbian]

Hey, it's not like I didn't at least try something first! But if I just jumped back home, I may not have been able to come back. If they do still work, leaving everyone here wouldn't very a very heroic thing to do.

[lightningcute]

[Traveling through worlds? Now there's a NEXT power Pao-lin wishes she had.]

Luceti has a cap on the powers of everyone who got taken here. Your powers might not work so well.

[voice] 1/2

[magicalesbian]

[Oh my God.]

[Oh my God.]

[Stay cool, Kari, stay cool. You had to figure something like this might happen if this place really is just a magnet for people from other worlds.]

[Whatever you do: don't fangirl at her.]

[voice]

[magicalesbian]

[...should probably be paying attention to what she's saying.]

Oh. A power cap. Yeah. I read about that.

So. Does that mean your powers aren't working here too?

[voice]

[lightningcute]

They're only at half-strength. It's not like I need to use them here a lot, though.

[voice]

[fffffacepalm]

'...Ridiculous as this is, well, it would be something ridiculous that would work.'

...Right, well, what do you need to get that working? Do we have to clap if we believe or something?

[voice]

[magicalesbian]

Maybe if you make a wish? You know, like on a shooting star?

[Actually, that might work, but she's not ready to do something that'd involve revealing her identity just yet. Right now, just teasing.]

[voice]

[fffffacepalm]

Maybe we can split the difference. I'll pretend it's Tanabata and hang up a tanzaku.

[voice]

[magicalesbian]

[Oh, that catches her off guard a bit.]

...would it be a stretch to assume you're from a country called Japan?
