Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    Nagisa Momoe is sitting at home, doing homework while her father is out shopping for groceries. She's been having a bit of trouble focusing tonight, however, with all the thoughts and confusion regarding the other Puella Magi and the intitution of WitchHunter Professional Services spinning around in her head. Her run in with Kasagami White earlier in the day had raised more questions than answers, but as she thinks back on it she realizes there was something important she learned.

    Something about karmic aftershock.

    There have been many people who helped her, but there was still one she hadn't yet been able to give a proper thank you to. The pink haired girl who was there when she needed support the most, that time outside the hospital.

    There was a little more to it than that, of course. Despite all the kindness shown to her she was, today, feeling lonely- and not just lonely but alone. Isolated. Who could she trust and who couldn't she? Before her magical adventures began this had been very clear cut, but now is as murky as a muddy pond.

    And so she stands up and picks up the handset to her family's landline before heading into her room, retrieving a safely stored away slip of paper. She hesitates a moment and then dials the number on it, gripping the phone carefully with both hands while it begins to ring.

    On the other end any caller ID would display 'Momoe Ryou'.

Runealy Waldia has posed:
Rune also sits at home. Not her real home, but a run-down, abandoned convenience store along Juuban. She's not sure if her friends are able to sleep right now, after what the three of them just did... but Rune definitely isn't. And so she sits outside, behind the building.

Words from Sailors - Mercury, Mars, V, Jupiter, Moon, and even Tuxedo Kamen all echo in her mind. Many of them raise questions in Runealy's head, but she either has no answer for these points... or her answers amount to insulting herself in her mind's voice, or her mind projects insults from Miss White and one of White's associates - the man with dark energy.

Caught up in this, she jolts in surprise when one of her phones rings. "What? Who... it's not Hino or Gao..." Her mind races. 'Ryou' isn't a match for anyone she specifically knows. 'Momoe' is a half match.

50-50 odds are enough to get her curious. And so Rune taps her phone, answering the call and speaking in a tired, low voice: "Hello?"

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    Ring. Ring. An answer! A familiar voice!

    Nagisa's heart jumps a bit she hears that voice, though the tone causes her to speak a little less cheerfully than she suddenly feels. "Hello? Is this 'Rune'? I'm sorry, I never got your name directly but that's what it says on the paper you gave me."

    Wait, that probably doesn't make much sense without context. "This is Nagisa Momoe. Um... the girl you helped at the hospital about three weeks ago? I wanted to call and let you know how much your kindness has meant to me. Thank you very much! And... I'm so very sorry it took so long."

Runealy Waldia has posed:
That voice. This explains why it was a call on her 'mundane' line; Rune recalls she gave Nagisa this specific number, for very specific reasons.

'Context' is established just from hearing Nagisa talk. Rune remembers. While she doesn't remember it to the exact numerical date, not like Nagisa probably does... she recalls exactly how Nagisa felt, and she knows firsthand what it means.

It is ultimately a reminder that there is someone out there whose situation seems nearly as bad as her own. That provides some focus, some clarity. Some urge to actually respond instead of just hanging up. "That's me, and... don't apologize. After what happened, you have all the right do things when you think they're right. If calling me now is what's right for you, that's absolutely fine. So... thank you for that, but... how are you getting by?"

She doesn't ask 'how are you doing'; Runealy has a very good idea that the answer to that is 'not very well.' You don't just bounce back immediately from losing someone that special to you, especially not in what it sounds like the circumstances were. And so Rune is more concerned with just ensuring that Nagisa is at least getting along.

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    Someone kind and understanding, that's what Nagisa remembers about Rune, and as the older girl responds by assuaging her fears she waited to long she feels she's remembered the older girl correctly.

    She turns and walks over to her kneeling table, scooting up to it and settling in a little bit. "I am managing to get by just by trying to take things one day at a time, but it isn't always possible. It has gotten a little easier at school and during clubs, and sometimes I feel just fine, but then I also still feel very sad without being able to help it. Usually when I'm alone..."

    The way she trails off it's not hard to imagine she's alone right now. She doesn't leave much time to interrupt. "But! I wanted to show you how much your help has meant to me, with more than just words if I can. Just knowing people were willing to go out of their way to try and make me feel better means so much. There is not all that much I can do, but maybe you have a favorite restaurant I could treat you too, or a favorite snack I could make? I'm a good cook!"

    She's very happy to be able to talk with the girl who had helped her like this, but in truth she's hoping for a little more. Maybe just a few minutes of being around someone at least remotely close to her age that she knows is kind and that she has no mixed feelings about.

Runealy Waldia has posed:
"One day at a time is how you do it...only way you can." Rune starts to stand up, pushing away from the store wall. "You're pretty amazing to be able to do that, even if you 'miss some days.'" It's an odd analogy.

Then Nagisa makes an offer. "Are you--" Rune cuts herself off. She was about to say 'serious', doubting Nagisa's good sense and judgement... then silently realizes Nagisa doesn't know about the other side of Rune's life, very much by design in this case.

And so Rune redirects her own sentence into something more gentle. "Are you sure that's okay? We could, though as far as a favorite place goes, I'm stumped. New in Tokyo... everything is new to me. And most places are closed right now anyway, aren't they? Still, if you want to meet somewhere, we could do that."

It would be a chance to check up on Nagisa in person, and get away from the store. A win-win.

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    "I don't know if it's that amazing. Like you said, it's the only way I can," Nagisa replies, doing her best to keep from sounding too down.

    The change in tone is quickly detected as Runealy begins to speak, and the small girl wonders if she had just done something very wrong, though she is quickly reassured when the question is restated. It... is pretty late. "Oh. You're right; the only place open is probably McDonalds..." Her opinion of the fast food chain doesn't sound particularly high.

    "I didn't realize you were new to the city though, Rune-san. Then, do you know the King Penguin Park?" It's a pretty well known landmark so hopefully a newcomer would learn of it quickly, "If you're really okay with meeting me the pond would be a good place."

Runealy Waldia has posed:
"I'm new to electricity. Let's put it that way," Rune comments, suspecting that dwelling on the other topic isn't a good idea; she has always welcomed distractions from thinking about 'that.'

"And yes, I know that place... not the pond exactly, but I bet I could find it once I get there. It's going to be a little bit, but if you want to do that I can be on my way right now?"

And so the alien princess begins walking away from the store, looking for what transit can get her there. A train line, perhaps?

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    "What?!" Nagisa asks in surprise to the comment about electricity, suddenly having all kinds of questions for Rune that the poor girl has probably had to endure countless times since her arrival.

    "Okay! I'll head down there too. Though, um, I can't bring this phone with me or it will stop working." She gets up from her table and walks back out of her room, "I'll wait a little bit and then be right there- I live close to the park."

    Her voice has taken on a decidedly cheerful tone- seems she's looking forward to it!

Runealy Waldia has posed:
"Huh? Your phone won't work if you take it along? Is it..." Rune tries to think of the right word. Do phones get sick? Probably not, no more so than a sword or curtain do. So she makes another guess, "Damaged? Well, I'll stay on this call with you until I get close, if that helps?"

Taking a moment to adjust her scarf, Rune then departs to catch a ride to another part of town. It will take some doing, but she eventually finds transit to bring her close enough to the park... and with far less foot traffic at night, she's able to find the pond without too much trouble. "I think I see it... walking up to it now." She did indeed stay on the line, if Nagisa allowed it. "Should be there in just a few minutes."

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    "No, it's just a limited one that can only be used at home. I know it's silly but Papa won't let me have my own, yet." Nagisa responds, feeling like quite the silly child. Sometimes her fathers traditionalism can get in the way of sensibility.

    "Yeah! I can keep talking with you until you're close." As she talks with Runealy over the phone she takes her homework and puts it on the small table in her room, getting out a piece of paper.

    'Papa,
    I went out to meet a friend at the park. I'll see you tomorrow after school!
    ~Nagisa'

    Eventually she's a bit caught off guard, "You're that close? I should have left already, sorry! I'll see you in a few minutes. Bye!"

    The call would drop and Nagisa quickly grabs a small coat to put on over her dress before rushing out the door and towards the park. Ten or so minutes later she can be seen running up to the pond, waving her hand as she goes. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you wait!"

Runealy Waldia has posed:
"I didn't know they made ones like that..." Rune isn't sure what to make of these 'limited phones.' Interesting to learn about, but she has little to comment about them.

And so Rune keeps up idle talk - much of it dominated by travel updates - and makes her way to the pond. When Nagisa arrives...

...Rune, it turns out, has forgotten to opt for a coat. She paces the pond and shrine idly, but looks up when Nagisa arrives. "I just got here, it's fine. So... actually, I've been wondering a few things about you, if it's okay to ask?" Her quiet demeanor is fading, replaced by having put on a more curious and somewhat more animated mood. It's not super cheerful, but it's a step up from the voice Rune answered the phone with.

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    Slowing down as she gets closer, Nagisa walks over the little bridge to the island, stopping a short distance from Rune and looking around a little bit. "It's so peaceful here at night. The stars are really pretty, too!" she comments. Though still in the city the relatively low lighting of the park does allow them to shine through a bit brighter than she's used to.

    Once the beauty of her surroundings have been acclimated to she takes a closer look at Runealy, never having truly gotten an amazing look at her before. "Your dress is very beautiful. I... I hope you didn't dress up just to come out and see me." She looks down at her own clothes- far from ugly, but relatively plain.

    Only then does she get around to answering the question, nodding her head and even giving a small bow, "You can ask whatever you like, though I can't promise I can answer all of your questions."

Runealy Waldia has posed:
"Huh... you're right. You can kind of see them from here, somewhere where it's more quiet like this," Rune realizes aloud as she looks skyward, surprised Nagisa had the insight to point that out about the stars. "Dress up?" The princess hadn't even thought about it; while such outfits technically might not be the best idea for an expedition to an unknown world, they were what her wardrobe consisted of. Always had.

Yet perhaps playing it up is worthwhile. "Maybe I did. Maybe it was worth it for meeting someone important?" It's a playful question. "And that's fine, just answer what you like. Still... I'd like to figure out what you enjoy. What do you do? Classes, I know... but outside of that?"

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    The reply has Nagisa blushing a little bit, the fact that Runealy hadn't stopped talking with her on the phone ever since she called going over her head. "I don't know if I'm as important as that," she responds, "but I do think your dress is very nice."

    When the next question comes she responds, "I'm a member of both the Cooking and Cheerleading clubs at school, and those take up a bunch of my time when I'm not studying." That answer comes quickly, but other than that? It's a little harder for her to answer.

    "Um, well, before my mother was sick I'd do chores with her; cooking, cleaning, shopping. I'd play games with her and Papa, and we'd go on picnics and go watch movies and plays together." She bites her lip a little, but then looks up to Rune with a smile, "I did almost everything with my mother, she was wonderful."

Runealy Waldia has posed:
Praising her attire does net a quick "Thanks," from Rune, quiet but pleased. It's something from home, a little appeal to her own love of that home, even if Nagisa might not have meant it that way; hearing a 'piece of home' be praised is thus pleasing all the same. "Cheerleading, though? Is that as obvious as it sounds? Who do you cheer on?"

She mentally cringes at the other answers. They're answers that hit upon a nerve just as raw for Rune as it probably is for Nagisa... a nerve the princess can't reveal, not right now. Not when if anyone finds out what's going on, and the wrong person overhears... she can imagine certain people taking advantage of another recent death.

Worse, she fears they might just keep Nagisa dwelling on that topic, one that Runealy suspects has been weighing on Nagisa's heart every day for the last three weeks. Maybe distractions are better. Maybe redirecting this line of thought is better. "She sounds it, but... plays, I recall. What are these other things you watch? Where do you do that?"

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    Nagisa smiles brightly, and rather than just telling her with words she shows her by doing a little set. She starts perfectly straight with her arms at her sides, and then does a little dance routine, turning to one side and then the other while shaking her arms, pigtails bouncing around energetically as she moves. It's not quite as dramatic without the pompoms, but still looks fun. Afterwards she crouches down and shakes the imaginary pompoms while raising her arms, "Faito, faito, goooooo" then she jumps into the air as high as she can while throwing her arms up, "Tuxuido pengu-iins!"

    This has her giggling for a few minutes, knowing how ridiculous it might look to someone who hadn't been exposed to it, but then explains. "We cheer for our sports teams at events!"

    This playfulness has her not noticing any changes on Runealy's face when she mentally cringes. She goes almost straight from happy and energetic to flabbergasted, "You don't know about movies?" The look fades a bit as she remembers the previous mention about electricity, and just how much of her life that encompasses starts to dawn on her. "You're going to be in for a real treat! Ohh, I wish there was a movie theater open right now. I'd drag you there to show you. But movies, um, they're like plays but recorded onto film. Then the film is edited a whole lot so only the very best scenes make it in! They can be about all kinds of things, for entertainment or educational value. Try to remember your favorite play- then imagine you could watch it over and over again whenever you wanted. That's what a movie is."

Runealy Waldia has posed:
The idea of organized sport with ritualized cheering is... somewhat novel to Rune, and she watches Nagisa's cheer with a mix of curiousity at the unknown and thinking it's kind of weird. Then the explanation fills in several blanks; Rune had always quietly wondered about something she saw at school, but didn't care enough about to truly ask. Still, now that she has the answer it's met with a surprised: "...Oh! So /that's/ what people are up to around school! Now I get it! And no, I'm not sure what 'movies' are, and it sounds like you're using the word 'film' way differently than I know it. But..."

Her nose and eyes twitch in thought. Not distaste, but the visible consideration of someone working their way through a complex idea. "A play whenever I wanted, but... I was going to ask how you'd get the cast together at any sort of hour and whether they'd be angry about that, but... I'm missing something important here, aren't I?"

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    Nagisa really wishes she had a picture on her to better explain. "You've seen pictures and posters by now, right? You probably have at school in your textooks- a picture of something that happened before that looks too real to be a painting. Those are taken with-" she pauses and suddenly feels very silly. "Can I see your phone really quick?"

Runealy Waldia has posed:
"Yes... they're much like banners and works of art, though it seems you can produce copies of them that are nearly identical." Rune follows this much of the premise, at least. "Something about 'assembly lines', ones that need few or no craftsmen to work them?" Her phone? Rune hesitates, having to make sure she retrieves the right one; it would be very bad if Nagisa got the one dedicated to use by 'The Princess', after all.

Having ensured this mistake won't happen, Rune holds out her phone for Nagisa to take. "Sure, go right ahead."

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    Nagisa nods her head, "Yes exactly! A camera can take a picture and store it for later, either on film or in memory if it's an electric camera," she keeps it simple for now; electric rather than digital. "I don't know how the non-electric ones do pictures, but your phone..."

    The girl takes the phone carefully from Runealy, being gentle and careful with something that belongs to someone else. "Yes! It has an electric one." She navigates the phone astonishingly fast, getting to the camera and then holding it up above her own head, looking up towards it and smiling brightly, "Cheeeeeeese!"

    A flash and a digitized click sound later, and Nagisa looks at the screen and decides it's good enough. With a wide smile she hands the phone back to Rune, which now prominently features a picture of the little white haired girl on it. "See! This is a picture. A movie a whole bunch of pictures taken one after another so the animation is fluid," she forgets Runealy might not know these words, "and with sound also. I think your phone can do movies too. Want me to see?"

Runealy Waldia has posed:
"Where?" Runealy looks around for the aforementioned cheese, utterly failing to find it for the obvious reason that she has failed to understand Earth slang. "And wait, did my phone just make some weird noise? I've never heard that exact one bef--" The noise suddenly doesn't matter. Her eyes go wide as she sees the screen, almost dropping the phone and having to fumble-catch it. "Wh... okay, that /is/ just like... wow. So my phone can produce the same sort of things the 'assembly lines' can, when it comes to just this one kind of thing, and..." No, apparently it gets one or two steps better than that.

Nagisa is offering to blow her mind again. "You're serious? S... sure, I think I better, if it actually can do that." The phone is held out once more.

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    Nagisa smiles happily, "Yep! Phones are absolutely amazing and can do so many more things than just make calls. Or at least, your kind of phone can. The phone at my house can only make calls and take messages." Runealy is treated to a childish look with the girl puffing out her cheeks.

    "The best part about this kind of camera is you can copy it over and over forever. You could send the picture to all your friends on their phones and still have it yourself. It's a little harder to get a physical copy, but if you can find print shops that will make good quality ones."

    Rune's astonishment at the features of the phone give the girl an infectious happiness, never before having been able to introduce someone to something so amazing and new before.

    She takes the phone back from the nicely dressed foreigner and taps a few times at the phone. "Yep, it can!" Then, rather than aiming it at herself, she simply holds it up, aiming the camera at Runealy herself. "Okay, Rune, it's your big chance to be discovered," she teases, "Say something dramatic, or funny, or do a little dance."

Runealy Waldia has posed:
"Huh..." So there are phones with major limitations. Rune ponders this, even as having what amounts to a 'lesser version of a miracle of Earth technology' seems to bother Nagisa. More intriguing is the prospect of being able to spread copies of these pictures, and Nagisa's explanation is being met with rapt attention now; possibilities the alien princess had never even conceived of are now being laid out for her!

"Huh?" She's being... filmed? Well, the phone made 'artwork' copies of Nagisa just now, so... Rune hums a little, nothing specific to the noise as she begins a slow series of twirls and swaying steps. Apparently she has chosen dancing.

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    Nagisa waits until Rune is done, just in case she's having a bunch of fun doing it, and then stops the movie. She went ahead and turned on all the bells and whistles- highest possible definition, HDR, everything the phone is capable of. Hopefully Rune didn't go crazy for an hour long dance session or Nagisa's failure to mention 'memory' may cause problems.

    She's nearly hopping with excitement as she stops the video and then loads up the replay, moving quickly over to Rune's side. This time she doesn't actually hand it over, instead standing beside her and holding it up for her to see- if she nearly dropped it before, this is going to knock her socks off!

    She hits play.

    'Okay, Rune, it's your big chance to be discovered, comes a close voice, 'Say something dramatic, or funny, or do a little dance.' On the screen the alien princess stands in her white dress, looking momentarily confused. She utters 'Huh?', and then moves into her dance sequence, the soft humming a little distant but otherwise exactly as it came before. The anti-shake feature makes the film quality surprisingly good; modern phone cameras are truly amazing.

    It is also possible it's the first time Runealy has ever heard her own voice outside of echos if she's never had it reproduced magically.

Runealy Waldia has posed:
Despite being above-average at dancing, Rune seems content to end the performance after just several seconds. Confused as to what exactly is going to happen, she looks from Nagisa to the phone, back and forth several times... and then sees where this is going. "Wha... no way... that's," She leans in, staring super close at the screen, "I mean, I know exactly what that's supposed to be, but, that's like..."

After a second or two of stunned silence, she realizes what it is: "That's the ability to take a moment of time and show it again. You wouldn't have to just remember it as your mind recalls something... you'd have the exact event. Down to the last detail. Everyone could... ...everyone should have that. To take the truly important events and save them."

Her mind has indeed been blown, reeling back a few steps away from Nagisa and the phone as possibilities one after another open up.

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    "Yep! If you ever see people walking around pointing the backs of their phone at things, that's why. There's something happening that they want to save for later.

    She turns the phone over briefly to show Runealy exactly where the camera is on the phone- just a relatively small lens on the back. "Movies you see in theaters are taken with huge cameras, and they do their scenes several times and only use the best ones, piecing them together afterwards. And they add music, and special effects- making things show on the screen that were never actually there in real life when the movie was taken."

    Nagisa smiles very brightly, "You really have to go see a movie. Tomorrow, if you have time!"

    Only after explaining this does she go back to the more casual uses of digital photography, "And you remember what I said about pictures, right? Sending them to your friends. You can do the same thing with this. If I -did- have a phone I could send this to it in ten seconds and then we'd both have it forever. Or until we decided we didn't want it anymore."

    Now she'll hand the phone back to Runealy, though she looks away a little bit. She really, really wishes one of her parents had been into taking family movies right now.

Runealy Waldia has posed:
"Like a play, but with even more in the production... I think I get it. So even something as normal as that is improved here." Rune finally thinks she gets the premise, and speaks breathlessly as idea after idea continues to grow in her mind. It's possible Hinote had tried to teach her some of these things earlier, but even if he had it wasn't truly sinking in until now. "It sounds impossible, but so does everything else here. Obviously it's real, and maybe I should go see one of these 'movies'..."

Her own mind begins to ponder some of the same lines of thought that are going through Nagisa's, causing the same glance aside to boot. A few headshakes follow, as Rune forces herself to try to move past that. "This is incredible. Thank you for showing me! If I could ask, where do you go for movies? Are they all good? Or should I look for specific ones?"

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    Nagisa shakes her head quickly, "They're definitely -not- all good. Like plays it depends a lot on the people who are making them and the actors that are in them. I actually haven't gone to see a movie in a long time, otherwise I might be able to tell you what's good. There are a whole lot of different kinds of movies, just like plays. Some want to scare you, some want to make you laugh, some just want to tell a very good story, and some are made for their artistic value alone. I suggest you find someone whose tastes you share and ask them what recent movie they liked and go see that. You could also just ask the person selling tickets too."

    For right now Nagisa isn't even going to begin getting into ratings websites, if movies are an amazing shock to Runealy the internet would probably make her head explode.

    Rather than continuing down the discussion on what movies are best, the girl turns to more practical applications, namely showing Runealy exactly how to use the camera and movie capture options on her phone. In this she's an apt instructor and can show the older girl just about anything she could want to know. This, she decides, is probably a much better way to return the kindness shown to her before than a simple snack or buying her lunch.

    Despite not owning a phone herself her parents have had one forever, so she's as canny with the thing as if she was born with it in her hands.

    Ah, Millennials.

Runealy Waldia has posed:
"I don't know who has my taste in movies because until five minutes ago I had no idea what a movie even was," Runealy notes. Beyond this, she does pay attention to the lessons. Occasionally the princess ventures ignorant questions along the lines of 'are you sure that is a menu, that looks nothing like something to order food from', and so on... but she's always willing to be set right on mistakes. This is akin to tech support with one's ignorant older relative who /understands/ they are ignorant, rather than getting angry with the expert.

And after a while she admits, "At least most of the rest of what this thing does makes some sense to me now. Up until recently I kept wondering why I was getting calls from someone named Low Battery." Realizing that sounds stupid, she hurriedly adds: "I already figured that one out. A friend showed me what chargers are!"

Nagisa Momoe has posed:
    "It doesn't have to be taste in movies; someone who likes the same things in general would be a good start," Nagisa replies. She just doesn't want Runealy seeing something really inane and deciding they weren't worth her time. After all some people become so passionate about moviemaking they decide to use their whole lives to pursue it; maybe Runealy would be one of those people? She's probably pretty enough to make it in movies if she wanted.

    Luckily Nagisa has knowledge in both teaching people how to use phones (her parents), and teaching people who know little on the subject without losing her patience (her clubmates), so it goes along rather smoothly. When the comment about 'Low Battery' comes she realizes something, "Actually, you might get a similar warning message if you take a whole bunch of pictures and movies, but especially movies."

    She'll now explain why someone would choose to use those lower quality settings she spoke of before; higher quality takes up more memory, and the phone only has so much.

    "This is a nice model," she comments about the phone, "but it's sill going to be somewhat limited unless you have a memory card. Um..." Tap, tap, tap. Blink, "Wow! This really is top of the line. It's going to be a while before it fills up, but you might still want to be careful to get rid of pictures and movies you don't need anymore."

    Just then the phone starts ringing, and the girl starts handing it over to Runealy before suddenly stopping. "Oh shoot. Um, this is for me." She'll flash the screen quickly towards Runealy so she can see 'Ryou Momoe' listed as the caller, "Um, hello?" she answers meekly. A stern but not shouting voice can be heard on the other end, which Nagisa quickly responds to, "Yes, I know it's late. Yes, I know I should have asked. ...No, I didn't finish it. Yes, I'm still at the park. I know. I know... I'll be home quick. Um, I love you, Papa!" And then she quickly hangs up.

    Looking bashful she hands the phone back over to the older girl and then rubs the back of her head a little, face turning red. "Sorry about that; he saw I'd called someone and just used redial. I really have to go, but it was wonderful seeing you again, Rune-san!" She offers a quick but proper bow and then runs off, waving over her shoulder and calling back, "Make sure to go see a movie!" Then she's gone.
