Open Yonaka post.

[A: cute]
[Yonaka's favorite hobby is eating candy under the stars. It's relaxing, and she's always had a sweet tooth.

It's a fine hobby alone, but now and again it's better to do it with someone else, too. So she's invited somebody else to sit on a picnic blanket with her and munch on candy.]

It's a really pretty night, isn't it?

[The moon's full and everything.]

[B: stabby]
[There was a Mogeko.

It said something lewd. This is not a surprise: Mogekos always say lewd things, unless they're defects. It was not even said to Yonaka, but rather to the person she had been talking to. But it ticked her off.

Suddenly that Mogeko had a stab wound in it, and then shortly after that, another for good measure. As it collapsed, dead near-instantly from Yonaka's special Mogeko-killing knife, she cleaned off her blade on her shirt and turned back to her conversation partner.]

What was I saying?

[C: obligatory smut option]
[It would be a lie to say that Yonaka didn't have some hang-ups about sex after... everything... but she was determined to get past them, because she liked someone and she was not going to let a bunch of Mogekos keep her from doing things with them.

So though she was fumbling a little with the buttons of her own shirt, there was a look of determination in her eyes not normally seen on somebody undressing, even somebody undressing in front of her significant other.]

I swear I can get this off myself, hold on...

[D: create-your-own]
[Hit me with anything.]

Yonaka Kurai. I don't have a title, I'm completely human.

[priceoffriends]

You are? Then why are you here?

[And is she going to get killed and/or severely punished by the authority? She hopes not.]

[chasescenes]

...I fell asleep on the train.

[priceoffriends]

Just by accident?

[chasescenes]

Yeah. And I woke up out in the woods outside the castle.

[priceoffriends]

What kind of place is this?

[chasescenes]

A terrible place. I'm sorry.

[priceoffriends]

Better me than a kid in the title game investigating.

[chasescenes]

What's the title game?

[priceoffriends]

I guess I've already given enough away, and the administration might not even be here to hear me tell a normal person...

Most people get their titles when they grow up, but some can get them as young as thirteen. The title game is where a witch competes to earn their title early. Every kid has to do it, from people with very little talent to Golden Mages. But the thing is, the title game involves travelling around searching for wrongs to right, crimes to stop, and especially violations of the authority's rules. ...It's a real risk to go into.

[Yonaka might note that Touka looks a little young to have grown into her title.]

[chasescenes]

[She does note this.]

...There's definitely a wrong to right here, but I don't think a kid should be handling it.

[priceoffriends]

I hope they won't have to.

[chasescenes]

If you're a witch, what kind of magic do you do? Maybe it can get us out of here.

[priceoffriends]

Magic has a price, but I can handle it. Are you lost, or...?

[chasescenes]

I just want to get back home.

[priceoffriends]

I don't know if I can do that. Sometimes these things make sure that failure is the only option, but I can try. Or at least try to help you get rid of what's keeping you here.

[And create the equivalent of Magical Girls Fix SMT ending. Maybe.]

[chasescenes]

Is there any way I can help?

[priceoffriends]

I'm not sure. What can you tell me about this place?

[chasescenes]

Mogeko Castle... Obviously, it's inhabited by Mogekos. There are seven floors, and the structure of the floors doesn't always make sense or obey physics or rationality.

[priceoffriends]

And you don't know who's in charge, right?

[chasescenes]

That's King mogeko. --I know it sounds the same but it's lowercase.

[priceoffriends]

How...?

[chasescenes]

Beats me. There's Moge-hyphen-ko, too.

[priceoffriends]

Is there one with a C instead of a K?

[chasescenes]

No, actually there's not. At least I don't know one.
