---

Naomi Yomada has posed:
It is a gorgeous Friday afternoon and school has let out. People are just starting to enter the park and are definitely getting a start on their weekends! It is honestly a really wonderful thing and the ambience of people talking and playing fills the air.

Lying in the crook of a tree, a man dressed in a green trenchcoat and a top hat, with green hair and... antennas. He looks like he was having a rather pleasant nap when he wakes up to the new noise, "Really? People are active in this weather. What is wrong with this world." He grouches as he rolls over and tries to go back to sleep.

Also in the park, happens to be a girl in a black school girl uniform. She happens to have an old boombox out (again). She is sure she almost has it fixed this time. Naomi just keeps working. Hovering nearby is a pink fairy wearing a combat helmet. Where did she find a combat helmet? Gods only knows. But she is ready for whatever explosive end comes of that boom box.

Naru Osaka has posed:
It is a gorgeous Friday afternoon, and school has let out, and the sun is shining and the breeze is delightful and people are wandering and content and there's a lovely background babble of generalized happy that fills the park. It's a perfect spot to take over a bench after school. To watch the way the breeze tickles the leaves, the way the flowers move.

Naru has done just that, settled on a bench with her sketchbook in her lap. She's looking up into the trees, her eyes tracking the way the branches move and then looking down at her sketch as she replicates it there in miniature, twining branches around and over.

Momo Sakura has posed:
"Sammy, why did you tell me weird things happen in the park?" Momo shakes her cell phone. It is, of course, a Samsung. And yes, she's talking to her phone. "I keep comin' here, and nothin'! Are you playing tricks on me?"

She holds the phone close and lowers her voice. "Is it because I looked at too many kitty pictures?"

"Woof."

"Hush, Dog! Yes, you're cute, but kitties!"

"Woof?"

Momo sighs. "Fine. We'll look around for a bit so you can do your widdles. But then we're gonna look at the next park, got it?"

"Woof!"

Dog isn't the most pretty dog ever. Or the cleanest. Or the friendliest. But it's been at least a week since the last time he tried to bite her. Progress!

"Glad to hear it. Now--" Momo stops in her tracks and stares at something she can't possibly be seeing. Creeping forward, she doesn't stop until she's inches from a floating fairy. She doesn't even notice as Dog goes over to a young girl with a sketch pad.

Her eyes narrow and she brushes pale hair from her eyes. "Are you real, Little Fairy Person, or did that can of tuna turn?"

Naomi Yomada has posed:
The man resting in the tree finally gets to the point where he is just getting annoyed. Its too noisey here. Something has got to give. But wait! That girl over there! She is really working hard on her art! On such a beautifully lazy day like this? This merits further investigation. The man hops out of the tree and makes his way over to the girl. His gaze goes to the sketch and then to the girl for a brief moment. "Good day, I am curious, Why do you work so hard on such a lovely day? Wouldn't it be easier to just relax and enjoy the sun?" He stands leaning on his cane with a soft grin. He is actually, gentlemanly.

Over near the girl working on the boom box, The pink fairy is a little startled. She turns around and gives a little wave. "Yep I'm real! I'm Lilac! I'm from the Blue Sky Kingdom! Nice to meet you." She extends a paw. "Be careful Naomi is tinkering again and things tend to blow up with her!"

Naomi perks up and looks over, "Oh come on, I don't always blow things up and Whats with the helmet! The joke is getting a little old!"

Naru Osaka has posed:
It's probably for the best, all things considered, that there is a polite gentleman who is distracting Naru from the conversation with and about Fairies and explosions.

There'd be Questions, after all.

Naru glances up as the man approaches and she gives a little smile. "I am relaxing, and enjoying the sun, they are not mutually exclusive with working on my art at the same time."

Momo Sakura has posed:
Momo jumps back a little, startled that the little pixie person isn't an illusion. Then she blinks. And tilts her head. "Blue Sky Kingdom..." Another blink. "You mean heaven? Are you an angel? I didn't realize angels were so teeny."

She startles again. Oh! Hah! Other people. Yes! She takes a moment to look between angel fairy Lilac person and normal sized Naomi person.

She recognizes the back and forth teasing, the annoyance that isn't actual annoyance but also is. She sighs a little.

But then she grins, one fang popping out, and she hefts a rather large gunlance in front of her. (Hey, where was she hiding that? Behind her back?)

"Well, if you find ya do wanna blow something up, I can help!"

Meanwhile, Dog's tail, which had been wagging as he approached Sketchbook Girl, stops as he pauses a foot or so away and starts to growl.

Not at her, but at the gentleman. For one thing, gentlemen tended to kick Dog on occasion. For another, he smelled like the kind of gentleman who WOULD kick Dog.

Naomi Yomada has posed:
The green man just gives the girl a look like she is from some far off planet. "But its work? How can work be relaxing?" He doesn't wait for an answer, "No. You could use a rest!" And then the dog begins growling at him. He turns and looks at the dog. Nope not going to kick it. "You BOTH could use a rest." Immediately things go dark. "Let the future reflected in the mirror turn terrible!" Suddenly Naru and the dog both would find themselves trapped in a single coffin shaped mirror and wrapped in red ribbon. "Come on, Terribad!" Suddenly a giang black creature with red sunglasses appears. It has a black berret on its head and a green scarf around its neck. A white overshirt hangs over its body giving it the look of a classical artist. A giant pencil is in its hands. "Quiet this place down for me, Terribad." It begins spreading some very nasty looking mold. People are running in fear.

"Okay cool! Blowing stuff up can be fun, as long as it doesn't hurt! That always stinks." Naomi comments. Let the future reflected in the mirror turn terrible. Those words. They get her attention. She whips around just in time to see the Terribad appear and the man in green making his way back to the tree so he can try to catch a few more winks. "I umm... I need to go! Lilac!" The fairy nods and comes along with her. She leaves her boombox sit as she takes off to find somewhere quiet so she can transform.

Naru Osaka has posed:
"It's fun work!" Naru manages to protest with a little gesture of her pencil, and glancing to the Dog who is probably giving a really good clue on what is about to go down. "It's okay there, puppy." She tries to soothe the entirely justified Dog and then ...

Well that was unexpected. The park vanishes. The bench vanishes. The people, the sounds, the warm breeze.. all gone. There's an entirely undignified squeal of startle out of Naru, and she clutches her notebook, even while her pencil lands on the ground in front of the suddenly empty bench. She practically falls on Dog as they're tossed about in a mirror.

Momo Sakura has posed:
Momo's eye twitches.

Dog. Is now a giant...artist? Or did the giant artist gobble him up? And Sketch-Book Girl, too?

Naomi's going off somewhere, but Momo's not really paying her much attention. Instead, she's stomping over toward the...Terriblurb.

"Hey!" She loads a lightcell into her gunlance and waits for it to charge. "Gimme back Dog, ya walkin' stereotype!"

She takes aim...fires...and this time manages not to fall on her butt from the recoil! Woo! She ignores the skid marks on the grass caused by her feet being forced back, though.

A smoldering hole (not overly large since 1) this is a public area and people are about and B) the gunlance hadn't charged completely) about a foot away from the Terrigargle. "Dangit, missed...Um! I mean!" She shakes her fist. "That was a warnin' shot! Gimme back Dog! And Sketch-Book Girl!"

Inside the mirror, Dog lets out a 'yip' as he's tossed about and landed on.

His tail between his legs, he lets out a small whine as he curls against the human girl. Protect. Is good Dog. Naps.

Naomi Yomada has posed:
"Ha! Pathetic." The green man just yawns and rolls over letting the Terribad do his bidding. As the Terribad is shot at and yelled at, it turns around and throws a barrage of big pencils at Momo. "TERRIBAD!!!" It shouts as it attacks. Yeah its not a witch. It then makes another attempt at attacking the Puella Magi.

"SPARK BEAUTIFUL HALO!" Out of nowhere, Cure Spark drops to the ground and sends out an electrical blast in all directions. It wouldn't bother Momo but it would definitely slam the Terribad backward as well as knock the green guy out of the tree. "Namakelder! I thought you hopped your lazy but back to the Phantom Empire! Why don't you just leave the girl and the dog alone and go take a nap somewhere!" She comments but knows better then to hang around waiting for a response. Her focus is the terribad and getting the person and the dog out of the mirror. "Hey Attack it with everything you got. Terribads are really nasty!"

Naru Osaka has posed:
Notebook. Dog. Naru. All in one wrapped up mirrored package of unconscious. As attacks and pencils and electricity and giant gunlance THINGS start going off around them, it's probably for the best that the particularly fragile ones are out of the way for the moment.

Momo Sakura has posed:
Momo yelps as the pencils fly at her, bringing up the gunlance to block the attack. Most of the barrage pelts against the weapon, the force of them causing her to grit her teeth. One of them slides through and into her grazes her thigh. And it hurts like pain!

Growling, she reloads the gunlance after the barrage ends. "I'm gonna tear you apart like a disgruntled art critic!" She growls. "Your work is so cliched and passe, you hack!"

She blinks at...the...halo person what?

"Um, sure?"

She's not Puella...

She has to kneel on the ground, but it offers a modicum of stability. Taking aim, she lines the artist monster guy in her sights.

"Time to get blasted by your critic."

KA-BOOM!

The lazer's had more time to charge, the blast stronger.

And it has a stronger recoil. Golly! That cloud looks like a pony!

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Namakelder glares, "Cure Spark, Again you are interfereing with my rest. I suppose I should do something about you personally but, I just don't have the desire to. So, KINDABADS! Get them!" With that the grasshopper gets back up into his tree, lies back, and tips his hat to cover his eyes.

Suddenly what looks like 20 mini versions of the terribad but they aren't dressed as anything. Just black figures with sunglasses. They come charging at the two girls.

The Terribad just got it's world rocked. Not only did it get nailed with the halo but it just took a lazer shot to the chest! "Terrrraaaaa.... Bad!" It stabilizes itself and begins launching pencils at the two girls.

Cure Spark just looks, impressed by the pony cloud. "Nice!" And then here come the kindabads and the pencils. "Oh crap. Kindabads are weak. There are just a lot of them. Take em down quick!" She quickly spins the gem on her prebrace and calls out. "SPARK STATIC REPULSION!!" She hold out her hands, making a repulsion field which knocks some of the pencils at the kindabads. Then its off to work. She charges at them, attacking, punching and kicking them. They begin thinning out rather quick!

Naru Osaka has posed:
If Naru happened to be awake, she'd also be looking up to admire the pony cloud. She'd also be terribly impressed at the power behind that gunlance, goodness gracious me! The kicking, punching, and general arse kicking going on.

Naru is, however, not awake. Oblivious to her rescue.

Momo Sakura has posed:
Once she's no longer staring up at the sky, Momo stands up. staggers a bit because ow thigh, and glares at all the badtypes!

She raises her hands and bends and reforms light until lazers pelt down. "Why couldn't you be a Witch! At least then I'd get a snack off you after! AUGH! So RUDE!"

If Dog were awake, he'd probably be chasing Kindabads and biting them. Or he'd be snuffling at Naru because she's an awesome person. And Momo would call him a traiter!

But he's not. Still, if its cold here, he's keeping the girl warm!

Naomi Yomada has posed:
The Kindabads are quickly mopped up as they are pretty lame if not a little silly at times. All thats left is the Terribad who is trying to take a few swings at Momo. The thing has lost a step or two since it appeared. It calls out, "Terribad!" as it tries to swat the lazer girl away.

"Alright. This game is getting old! Time to finish it!" Immediately, Spark hits her prebrace again. This time the entire area ignites with yellow and cyan. "LIGHT OF CURIOSITY, TURN INTO SACRED POWER!" Suddenly a pair of intersecting lightning bolts appear behind Spark. "LOVE PREBRACE! PRETTY CURE BALL LIGHTNING!!!!" The lightning bolts form into a ball of lightning and Slam into the Terribad. HARD. It is wrapped in sparkling lightning and unable to move.

Momo Sakura has posed:
Okay.

Longer loading time.

Better aim.

She stands, feet apart, bracing herself.

The gunlance hums and whirs, the sounds growing louder. She gives a sigh, knowing she's going to have to use a bit of a Grief Seed after this...

bbbbbbbbbzzzzzZZZZZZZAFAWOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

The gunlance crackles just before a powerful stream of lazer fires from the barrel.

Naomi Yomada has posed:
The combination of the very intense purification attack and the very nasty gunlance lazer shot just cause the Terribad to fall back in defeat. Two words ring out loudly "SOoooo Relaxed!!!" With that the Terribad vanishes. Namakelder is just flustered. His nap got interrupted again! "Blast you Pretty cure! You too gun girl! I'll be back when I'm well rested!" In a blink he vanishes. All the nasty mold vanishes. The mirror vanishes as well leaving Naru and the Dog free of their prison.

"Spark of Curiosity, Return to the heavens!" With that, Cure Spark moves over to check on the two previously captured ones. She gently touches Naru and makes sure she doesn't fall over. She also gives the dog a scritch on the head. "Good boy." She smiles to Naru, "Are you alright?" Her gaze goes up to Momo and she gives a smile, "Hey nice moves!"

Suddenly, out flies a familiar pink fairy, moving towards Spark. She is excited, "Woo hoo! Yay! Thats another one in the books and no one got hurt! This is a great day!"

Naru Osaka has posed:
A few stumbles as Naru goes from unconscious in a box to generally upright, and conscious and half tangled with Dog and everyone has moved and there's the smell of ozone and zorching and ...

She reaches a hand out to steady herself on Cure Spark, without even thinking twice about it, lest she trip on Dog accidentally. "I.. uh... what was /that/!?"

A little turn of her head to take in a pink fairy, and a Mamo Sakura and she blinks a couple more times.

Momo Sakura has posed:
Momo has a bit of a grump face going. She fishes around in her pocket before pulling out a grief seed. Discretely, she presses it against a jewel inlaid on a bracelet.

A few seconds later, she's grinning. "Thanks! I guess Sammy was right! Weird stuff does happen in this park!"

Dog gives Naru a couple of testing sniffs, a lick to the knee to test for Sick Human Cooties, and then lets out a low woof.

"Oye, Dog! You behave yourself in there?"

Dog barks!

"Well, you should have! We need to make a good impression!"

Naomi Yomada has posed:
The Pretty Cure gives a little smile. "That was Namakelder. He's a pain in the neck really. He is a General from the Phantom Empire. He wants the world to be just like him. He wants to turn happiness to misfortune. They all do. They also like turning a person's favorite things into something nasty." She smiles a little, "Sorry I should probably introduce myself. I'm Cure Spark. I'm a Pretty Cure. One of the newer ones actually. This was my third fight."

The little fairy speaks up, "I feel the happiness of helping someone to heal welling up since me!! OOo! My nose itches! Rub it please!" Spark reaches over and rubs the fairy's nose. Lilac giggles happily and then sneezes. Out pop a pair of cure cards. Each one has the what looks like parts of a nurses outfit on them. Lilac giggles happily and pulls out what looks like an album that has a few other cards in it. She puts them in there. "You're well on your way to a wish, Spark!" She smiles happily.

Spark blushes a little and smiles to Momo again, "Umm, sooo, you are similar to the blue magical girl I met before. I didn't get her name. She was all blue though. Blue hair and had swords."

Naru Osaka has posed:
"I.. hadn't really noticed wierd things in this park, but I can be a little bit oblivious, I suppose." Naru comments to Momo and reaches down to offer her hand for the sniffing, and potential licking by Dog. "Is he yours? He.. hey!" She protests lightly at being licked on the knee. "That tickles." She erms softly at Mamo and then notes. "Your gun.. thing.. is very impressive."

"Namakelder." Naru repeats after Cure Spark, nodding slowly as she turns her attention back there, and listens to the copious levels of weird, that the girl just accepts as par for the course these days. "What's a Pretty Cure?" She asks, curiously and then smiles. "But it's nice to meet you, Cure Spark. I'm Naru Osaka. I'm .. er.. just Naru."

Momo Sakura has posed:
Blue hair. Meh. Ug. Whatever.

Wait! Like her!

"What do you mean? Was she a Puella?"

Must....not...

"Where did you meet her are there any more is there a clubhouse!"

Ahem...

"Dog belongs to Dog, I think. I feed him, so he lets me follow him around. Or is it the other way around?"

Hmmm.

No, now is not the time for existential questions!

She blushes a bit at the compliment on her weapon, but she grins and out pops a fang! "Thanks! I don't know her name yet. Hmm. Maybe Gunny. Or Lance? Something like that!"

She doesn't open her mouth about the Pretty Cure thing, but she's interested, too!

But oh wait.

"Name's Momo, myself! Momo Sakura! That was my first Not Witch fight."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
The pink fairy gives a little smile, "Pretty Cure are legendary warriors who are brought about in times of extreme trouble!! They are girls who are given the power to make a huge difference in this world."

Spark is blushing over this. "I umm... I don't think I'm a legendary warrior or anything." She blushes a little more. "Right now there is an empire who is actually wanting to fill the world with misfortune and bring about pain for the Earth. That is the Phantom Empire. They have already taken over one kingdom and they are just itching to take Earth too. There are Pretty Cure all over the world fighting them." She looks to Momo and smiles, "Sorry, I didn't get to talk to her. Witches? Like the Wicked witch of the west?"

Naru Osaka has posed:
"Mmm." Naru considers that dictionary definition from the fairy and then the more pragmatic explination from Spark. "So.. like Sailor Moon and all of them?" She offers, as if trying to place where yet more legendary warriors fit into the puzzle that just got much bigger in her head. "Is that anything like the Dark Kingdom?"

She reaches down to offer Dog more scritches and then hrms softly to Mamo. "Guns have names? I don't think she's a Gunny." Naru considers the oversized weapon of doom. "She needs something with a little more oomph than Gunny." There's just a moment of pause and then she softly uhhs. "Wait, there's witches?"

Momo Sakura has posed:
Momo scuffs the toe of her boot in the grass. "Well, poop. That's okay, though!"

Wait, what? Witch of the who?

"I...don't know who that is. Was there a labyrinth?"

Momo shrugs at Naru. "Well, this is Sammy," she holds up her phone, "And this is Dog. I don't know much about namin' guns. But you're right. More oomph!"

She looks up at the sky and sighs. "I need to get going, though. Gotta keep looking.

Oh wait, hey!

She pulls out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag and scribbles her number. "Here, it was nice meeting you guys, nice talking to people who aren't dogs, phones, or little rabbitcatrats or whatever he is. But I gotta jet!"

She dashes off, turns, and waves. "Call me!"

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Spark looks at the fairy and giggles just a little. "You might need to update that definition." She turns her attention to Naru and gives her a smile, "I don't know much about Sailor Moon and her friends. I've heard of them but thats about it. As for Pretty Cures, imagine a person whose life brings hope to those around them even without powers. They have a quality about them that just can't be ignored. Maybe it's love. Maybe its hope. Its something that shows the best in them. Now add crazy powers to them. That is a Pretty Cure. We are chosen when things are bleak. Like they are now. The Phantom Empire is trying to destroy all happiness on Earth. In my case, A man came to me and explained all of this. We'll just call him Blue for now. He found me while my mom was captured by the Phantom Empire. She gave me this little crystal that became the things I needed to become Pretty Cure. I'm not the first and definitely not the last. There are lots of us out there fighting for good."

She looks over at Momo and blinks a few times, "I'm pretty sure I didn't see David Bowie around here. No Labyrinths. Just the park and a Terribad. " As she goes off running she laughs and nods, "Will do!"

Naru Osaka has posed:
"Wait.. rabbitcatrats, what!?" Naru's head snaps over to Momo at that little dropped tidbit and instead of an answer, Naru has a phone number. Presumably to get in touch with Sammy. Who names their phones?

She looks down at the number for a few moments and then sighs softly. "I think I need to sit down." She moves over to the bench where all of this started and does just that, sits herself down. Oh look, her school bag. Handy that.

"I.. okay.. So totally different thing. Right." She looks up at Spark and starts trying to process the new information. "So.. love, hope, warm fuzzies, /and/ powers? Fighting to keep despair from winning?" She considers that and then looks hopeful at Spark. "Am I close?"

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark walks over and sits down next to Naru. She giggles just a little bit. "Yes, you're close. We help where we can and try our best to keep the world safe. Yeah, we sorta have to protect the whole world from them. There are pretty cool perks though. We get to kick the tar out of the Phantom Empires. Those cards are really sweet too. If we collect them all, we get a wish and that is something cool."

The Fairy beside her just lands beside her. "I help out! We come from the Blue Sky Kingdom and we help the pretty cures to fight. Its a lot of fun!"

Naru Osaka has posed:
"Wishes are pretty cool." Naru has to agree on that point and she looks down at the notebook in her hands still, before bending to put it in her schoolbag. "I probably don't know what happens to people long term, if you don't protect us, so forget I even considered asking that. I only saw the gentleman.. I'm presuming there was more than just him?" She is thoughtful a moment. "Most of what we need protecting from are disconcertingly charming." She pauses a moment, and there's just a flicker of a smile. "Most."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark smiles and nods, "Its kinda cool too. As for others, The big ones you need to worry about from the Phantom Empire are Namakelder, Hosshiwa, and Oresky. There is one other one. Phantom. He's more interested in pretty cures. I'm under orders, if I meet him, RUN. He hunts us down and well... does bad stuff." She sighs, "Well please, be safe and steer clear of those guys. I need to run." She stands up. Behind her back a set of soft yellow wings appear. "Stay Safe, Naru-san!" With that she launches herself into the air and is gone. The fairy is off with her.
