[headedforhope]

[The Love Songs music has been playing in Mami's head for hours now, the effects taking hold before she realized what was happening. All she knew was that, suddenly, she felt warm - happy in a longing sort of way she had never let herself be before. The innocent desire to be near another, to make them smile, swelled up in her heart and just never

[Kyoko has also been hearing the Love Songs. As a result, she's found herself unable to resist going outside to enjoy the bright, peaceful day, and of course she tries to find others to share the day with. By some coincidence, the first person she runs into is Mami. She grins waves to the other magical girl.]

Hey there.

oh gooooooood

[headedforhope]

Oh, Sakura-san.... [Mami seems to hesitate for a moment, but her smile never falters, and soon enough she's closing the distance between them.] ...I'm glad to see you. You're not busy, right?

[stayedwithher]

Nope! Are you?

[headedforhope]

Not in the slightest. Actually, I was thinking that if you happened to be hungry, you could help me finish these? [She lifts up the basket a little, opening the lid. Inside are a wide assortment of baked goodies; cookies, muffins, cake, etc.]

Easy Listening here, yo

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha looks up from where she's sitting on the porch of her mansion, enjoying a glass of red liquid, at the greeting. It seems everyone is feeling the need to stop by the Tohno Mansion in the orchard and talk to Akiha. Normally, she'd complain about being bothered, but not today...]

It seems I do. How can I help you?

cool beans

[headedforhope]

[Mami tightens her grip on her picnic basket, the only outward sign of the butterflies in her stomach.]

It's not that I'm in need of assistance, miss. I was just wondering...do you happen to enjoy sweets? I would like to share some with you, if that's all right.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I find it hard to believe there is anyone that doesn't. And yet, they do need to be enjoyed in moderation.

I wouldn't mind one or two.

[headedforhope]

[Her smile seems to light up her whole face, and Mami approaches the porch.]

Ah, I'm glad....may I join you? [A nod to the porch.]

[tookupthesword]

[Sayaka heard nothing in the realm of music, but music is a sore spot, so.]

... Sure?

[And seeing Mami-san like... THIS was certainly odd.]

[headedforhope]

Are you hungry, Sayaka-san?

[say yes

saaaaaaaaaay it]

[tookupthesword]

Well, if you're offering, it would be rude to refuse.

[headedforhope]

[learning manners, I see

she perks right up]

I'm happy to hear that!

[and she reaches into the basket in order to bring out....a huge checkered cloth, which she spreads upon the ground; Mami takes a seat and pats the spot beside her, gesturing to Sayaka to join her.]

[fatedmagia]

[ Madoka herself has been hearing uplifting music. She herself is far more cheerful than she normally would be ] --Mami-san! Hello.

[headedforhope]

[you got the touch

YOU GOT THE POOOOOWERRRRRRRRRR]

I'm not bothering you, am I? There was something I wanted to ask.....

[fatedmagia]

Mm. Not at all. What is it?

[headedforhope]

I don't suppose you'd like to have a picnic with me? It's such a nice day, you know....the kind of day that should be spent with friends.

[love me do]

easy listenin'

[orderlybento]

[Hikari was heading out of the Onsen as she is requested this from Mami. There's no surprise, no blinking for a few moments; just a bright smile thrown in her friend's direction.]

Mm, of course, Mami-san. What do you need?

YEAHHHHHHHHH

[headedforhope]

[It's only thanks to her excellent control and poise, things that haven't completely left her even while under the Gardens' influence, that Mami keeps herself from blushing. Well...too much, anyway.]

I was just wondering - do you have a favorite kind of sweet? Like a cookie, or a muffin?

[orderlybento]

Oh, of course! I love ginger snaps. Why are you asking?

[headedforhope]

[She brightens a little at Hikari's answer and starts to hunt around inside her basket.]

Ah, ginger snaps? I think I made some of those - the birds were a big help, I'm not familiar with that many recipes. [And here they are! Mami pulls out a few, offering them out.] ...I was wondering if you'd perhaps accept some.
