A hero's 'peace'/ Domesticity is not Mad's 'thing'

[aesopunbroken]

[After slowly accepting that she could be both a girl and a hero, Mad was slowly coming to grips with her feminity. Sure she would still flinch at the sight of the PreDesu's Holographic AIs but she was getting better... more or less. Such as it was she decided to try her hand at the things she decried as 'girly'... however: ]

[@5: Sora manages to walk in on this scene and suppresses a giggle, walking over to Mad with a grin.] So you've got issues with this too? I can't sew to save my life, as I found out a little while back.

[Mad may just catch POTPOURRI flying off at a whispered request from its master.]

[aesopunbroken]

[Mad looked flustered and grumbled softly... admittedly she flinched pretty hard at the sight of POTPOURRI. There was a sigh of relief when it left though.]

Yeah... well... I was hoping maybe it could be something I could get right for once... I can't get anything done right today...

[At this she scowled and just buried her face in her palms out of frustration.]

[sunshine_maiden]

Hey, it's all right. Nobody's good at everything. And besides, it's not like you had an excuse to work on this much. I don't think anyone will hold it against you. I sure won't.

Aside from what you've been doing today, what were your hobbies before this?

[aesopunbroken]

...

[Mad just went silent... wait... does this mean...]

I... don't have any... I didn't make time for any...

[Have a visiting Madoka Mad.]

It was your first time doing those things Maddy. Don't get so down on yourself.

[This coming from the person running around taking any request.]

[aesopunbroken]

[Which earned and agitated whine not unlike the Pups she was chased by earlier in the day.]

But I did so fucking BADLY!!

[There was a momentary pause before she gave Madoka a sidelong glare.]

And DON'T call me Maddy...

[This came out as a tired hiss... she really didn't like that nickname.]

[kamogawa_maru]

[That's probably the reason why Madoka is patting your head right now.]

What's wrong with Maddy? I think it's a nice name.

[aesopunbroken]

[She sighs and just clings to the pillow in her hands.]

...My friends used to call me that when I was younger. I... acted like a jerk to them when I started trying to be a hero like my dad... I... I don't want to remember that...

[Because it hurts too much.]

[This trail of domestic destruction is not a sight totally unfamiliar to Lan. Only for once she is not the cause.]

Is everything alright?

[aesopunbroken]

No. Everything's not. Tried to see if I could do anything other than smash shit... and I sucked worse at it than I do at fighting...

[A low and exasperated groan.]

Seriously. Nobody can fuck up as much as I did at this...

[no_wan_no_life]

Umm...

[Yes, definitely familiar.]

You do not have to be good at everything. Perhaps it is just not your thing.

[aesopunbroken]

I know... but... what if this isn't it? What if I suck at more than this... god... I don't even wanna know what'll happen when I can't fight anymore...

[aceshighsword]

[[This is the crack of a shinai hitting the floor.

This is also your first encounter with the Major... isn't it?]]

[aesopunbroken]

GAH-WHATTHEFUC-

[Mad snaps straight to attention, looking right at the pantless Major in shock.]

Who-what-...where the hell are your pants?!

(Ooc: Uh...Which prompt?)

The lastest prompt

[aceshighsword]

I don't wear them. Strike Witches don't wear pants. Ever.

But that's not why I've come to see you. I've been watching and you've made repeated disasters on the ship.

[aesopunbroken]

oh god don't remind me... I've had enough of them already...

[Mad just thumps her head hard on her bed. Also to get away from looking at the pantsless person present.]

[And while Mad is there staring, Pit is on top of the stream trying to contain the soapy volcano coming out with his hands before the whole room is flooded to add to the disaster]

ARGHBLARGH [And he's taking a spray of water to the face too] Don't stand there! We have to stop the water flow! Get me a wrench or somethi-ARGH! [And a pressurized stream escapes through his fingers and hits him squarely in the eye. Ouch.]

[aesopunbroken]

WRENCH! RIGHT! RIGHT!

[Mad dashes away to get a tool box, leaving trails of soap behind her. When she returns she pulls out the WRONG sort of wrench for the situation and makes thing worse. HOW? BY HITTING THE MACHINE REPEATEDLY!]

[can_not_fly]

No! Stop hitARGHBLBAL! [Aaand great, you just fissured the tube and now Pit's getting another stream to the face] You have to turn the shutoff valve-ARGH! [Pit is getting seriously drenched here] The valve! It's that thing on the tube! Turn it!

[aesopunbroken]

[And now Mad's trying that... only that she ended up doing it the wrong way and the valve EXPLODED OFF THE PIPE AND RICOCHETED OFF THE CEILING! There is now more water than ever.]
