|Poses=:'''{{#var:6|Nanoha Takamachi (6)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Nanoha Takamachi is leaving the Roaring Bayside theme park as it closes. She's behind two girls. She is often the third wheel so she is behidn them. The two girls look wealthier.<br /><br />"You know, Nano-chan... you can't keep us out of the loop! Why were you in that hospital!" insists Suzuka. "Yeah, why!?" said Arisa. Nanoha merely frowned. "I--can't... really... look I need to go.. whoops!" she says as she begins to leave suddenly down in the opposite direction. Arisa ughs....<br /><br />"That's irritating.... It's like... she's keeping something from us..." she mutters.<br /><br />"... well. Sometimes.. friends gotta keep secrets.. no matter how good a friend. Right?" she says.<br /><br />Nanoha walks for a bit until she slow down and just /sighs/ out loud and continues down the sidewalk herself as she mutters to herself. She was begining the long walk back to Midori-ya- and her home that resided over it. Alone.<br /><br />She knew why her friends asked such questions. But she couldn't give them answers.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:125|Minoke Sato (125)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Minoke Sato is rolling along in her motorized wheelchair, a plate of takoyaki on her lap. At least her legs make a decent table. She is chewing softly on one of them as she is simply rolling towards the harbor - to look over the ocean. Minoke is lonely too in her own way. Many are uncomfortable around the disabled and she is often paid little attention to. Though her life _is_ looking up. The choker around her throat, centered with a faceted onyx gem, is FAR more than just jewelry. She touches it sometimes as she rolls along. She is not in school uniform - simply wearing all black. She sighs softly. She has met other magical girls so far - but none that are similar to her. Unbeknowst to her, she is thinking out loud, 'broadcasting' her stream of consciousness.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6|Nanoha Takamachi (6)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Nanoha Takamachi is just walking along, minding her own bussiness really. She's on the farside of the road. She lives in Uminari. She knows how the ocean looks. Of course, then that little pink gem in her pocket pings~<br /><br /><span style="color:xterm207">&lt;Connection Established, Master...&gt;</span> she blinks. "Eh?" she says as she looks around what does /that/ mean.<br /><br />"...What does that Mean Raising Heart...?" she asks quietly.<br /><br /><span style="color:xterm207">&lt;Communication Link, Established, Master...&gt;</span> it clarifies. She laments... Mooooooooou. Yunno would know what that means, but the Ferret just isn't /here/ right now.<br /><br />'Hello?' she says testingly.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:125|Minoke Sato (125)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Minoke Sato blinks as she, too, suddenly heard something, the gem on her choker pinging and flashing. She pulls it off just as it quietly says, <span class=" bold_fg_x bg_n ++ hx">"Connection established, Mistress."</span> She frowns. "Connection to what?" she asks as she stares at the thing as she rolls along. Then it flashes brighter. <span class=" bold_fg_x bg_n ++ hx">"Communication link established, Mistress."</span> She still has no idea what that means then she hears that voice in her mind. She squeaks, looking around, her head twisting from side to side. "Hello... oh wait... ummmm...." She then thinks. &lt;&lt;H-hello?&gt;&gt; she tries telepathically.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6|Nanoha Takamachi (6)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Nanoha Takamachi blinks! Eh.. this feels like when Yunno speaks to her! Is this the same thing? Wait---are there MULTIPLE telepathic space ferrets!?<br /><br />'Oh! Hello!' she says. 'Are you a space ferret!?' she asks looking around now.<br /><br />Minoke can see the girl on the farside of the road suddenly looking around as if looking for something. She might be looking for space ferrets, she has a hand over her eyes in that 'seeking something out' manner even though there's no sun to get into her eyes.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:125|Minoke Sato (125)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Minoke Sato sees the little girl looking around all confused the same way she was. She sighs softly, clicking her tongue. &lt;&lt;Space... ferret? No. I'm a girl in a wheelchair. And... are you the girl in white with hair done up in pigtails? Look toward the souvenier store and you'll see a redhead in black on a wheelchair.&gt;&gt; She then sighs. &lt;&lt;I've never talked... to someone like this...&gt;&gt;<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6|Nanoha Takamachi (6)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Nanoha Takamachi ohs! She looks around and indeed, she thinks she sees the other. She waves!<br /><br />'Oh! Hi! Sorry, me and my ferret friend communicate like this so I thought maybe you were also that! I didn't know it could work with others...' she says softly.<br /><br />'Oh..! Are you a mage too!?' she says as she bounces on her feet! Having a conversation from this distance is weird.... but neat!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:125|Minoke Sato (125)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Minoke Sato nods slowly as she starts rolling towards you. &lt;&lt;Yes. I am. As of... the day before yesterday. My parents got me this gem and... when I fell out of my chair it started talking. I am Minoke Sato.&gt;&gt; She is moving closer to you, then pops another piece of takoyaki into her mouth. Hey - don't need your mouth for telepathy.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6|Nanoha Takamachi (6)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Nanoha Takamachi is across the street. She doesn't move, and instead lets Minoke come to her. She's smiling, not moving much very far, but if she's this close, why telepathy? Wanna know what's weirder to passerbys? Just two people staring at one another on the side of the road.<br /><br />Still...<br /><br />That seems rude to just cut off conversation.. right?<br /><br />'I'm Nanoha Takamachi! I'm in my 3rd year at Seishou!' insists the elementary school student!<br /><br />'Which school do you go too?' she asks with a short smile.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:125|Minoke Sato (125)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Minoke Sato rolls up and ends up by you. "I'm in the 8th year over at Seiyou," she muses softly, speaking aloud. "I... well, I was just thinking to myself when Swirling Vortex here," she states, tapping the choker which she refatens around her neck, "started talking about a communications link. Then I heard your voice in my head. I didnt' even know that telepathy was really a thing." She smiles and offers you the last piece of takoyaki. "It is nice to meet you. And... perhaps to meet your Device as well?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6|Nanoha Takamachi (6)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Nanoha Takamachi smiles! "Well, neither did I! At least, not with others." she says lately. "Oh..my friend. She's in my pocket. Her name is Raising Heart." she smiles. "She was given to me by my friend, Yunno. He's like a ferret. I'm helping him, so he gave me Raising Heart. He said I'm unique because Raising Heart is unique and hasn't been able to fully integrate with anyone. But I dunno if I'm really that special...." she says more thoughtfully.<br /><br />"I'm still learning myself. But--- I've been practicing really hard! You need to practice!" she says. "....what do you do to practice?" she asks.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:125|Minoke Sato (125)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Minoke Sato shrugs. "Well... I practice moving myself magically. Swirling Vortex is... well... she specializes in gravity magic. So - I can float myself out of my chair. I even fought some youma yesterday. Some ooze thing. I picked it up and flung it high into the air and watched it go splat. There were a few others, but they weren't mages - they were some other kind of magical girl..." She clicks her tongue. "What can Raising Heart do?" she asks softly. "I only know three spells right now myself... Swirling Vortex prompts me when she thinks a new spell is a good idea... but it's so tiring moving myself around like this all the time." She shrugs.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6|Nanoha Takamachi (6)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Nanoha Takamachi ums and taps her chin. "Area Search... Teleport... Fly... Divine Shoot... Divine Buster... Protect.. Barrier... " she mutters. "Lots of stuff really. Yunno says that Area Search is basic... he was able to do it as Raising Heart's Guest User n' stuff. I know we don't all know the same thing though. You're the only other mage I've met, you know..." she says softly.<br /><br />Her mind goes back to Fate and her expression saddens a bit.<br /><br />"Hey.... you're not... after these things called Jewel Seeds... right?" she asks straight up. "I really don't... want to fight someone else over them too..." she says softly.<br /><br />"Not that I won't...!" she said. "But..."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:125|Minoke Sato (125)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Minoke Sato blinks. "I don't know what a jewel seed is. I don't have a mission yet. I mean, when that slime monster turned into these crystals, Swirling Vortex did something called sealing mode. These black crystal shards that looked dangerous. Vortex locked them away. Some kind of prison for an evil entity or something, or the shards of it."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6|Nanoha Takamachi (6)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Nanoha Takamachi ohs! "That's called sealing, yeah. It stops the stuff from being harmful and all that. Black crystal shards?... no.. that's. Not quite a jewel seed..." she mumbles.<br /><br />She crosses her arms.<br /><br />"Then that's good!" she beams.<br /><br />"Um. You haven't. Met a girl named.. Fate, yet. Have you?" she asks quietly.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:125|Minoke Sato (125)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Minoke Sato blinks. "Nope. Hmmmmmm. Are those jewel seeds important to you?" she asks. "Alright. Hey Swirling Vortex. If you detect one of these 'jewel seeds', send a message to Raising Heart, ok?" <span class=" bold_fg_x bg_n ++ hx">"Acknowledged."</span> She smiles faintly. "Is Fate a friend of yours or... a nemesis?" She shrugs. "Will Swirling Vortex know what a jewel seed is?" she ponders aloud as she leans back.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6|Nanoha Takamachi (6)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Nanoha Takamachi shakes her head. "Probably not. I don't know the specifics. Just that they're artifacts that...grant wishes wrong and dangerously really..." she says softly. "So they run crazy like... turn a cat into a giant monster and stuff." she says. "But that's really all I know." she looks down.<br /><br />"I don't know. She seems to be after the Jewel Seeds. But....."<br /><br />She sighs.<br /><br />"Nevermind. Just. I need to get them before she does. That's what I gotta do regardless." she says.<br /><br />She says. "Um, I should get home before my parents worry, okay!" she says softly.<br /><br />"We run Midori-ya Cafe, so stop by sometimes, okay!?" she says.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:125|Minoke Sato (125)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Minoke Sato nods. "Sure. I'll be sure to drop by sometime. And if I find one of those seeds, I'll have a message sent to Raising Heart."<br> <br>
