[yeah, this hasn't really been the greatest of weeks for Madoka, and the way the entire city is cloaked and flowers and thoughts for things lost is probably only fitting.]

[she could use a good distraction right now — and she figures that after the lockdown and whatever else they may be going through, maybe someone else might like one, too. so, at some point in the evening, she sends out what is hopefully not a too intrusive brain text:]

Hi. What's your favorite thing from back home? I'd like to try to draw it for you.

Or, we could just talk about it, if you prefer.

[ Something about this text message seems off, so she'll try to approach this as gently as she can. ]

Something that I've always tried to keep safe is something left behind from my mom. Though, the design is a little intricate - if you'd like, I can show it to you when we see each other face-to-face again.

But... Are you alright? I know it's been rough lately, so we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, either.

[soulcomet]

I'd like that. It sounds like it's something that's really important to you, and it's nice to have a reminder of home you can carry with you, right?

[that's a bit of a tough question to answer succinctly. but Madoka likes Eleanor, which automatically translates into trust.]

But, I'm okay. A lot happened this week, and I guess I'm still just trying to process it all.

What about you? Are you all right?

[humenity]

It's true. I was really grateful when I found out that it was still with me. What about you? Do you have something from home with you?

[ There's a pause at her question. ]

I'm alright. I don't want you to worry, but...
my job at home was dealing with hectic situations -- sort of, anyways. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. Though, I know that we don't exactly know one another very well, eiher.

Really wish I could just fly without it being the end of the world honestly.

[soulcomet]

I don't blame you! It looks like it's a lot of fun.

Sorry about your hair, I couldn't remember what exactly it looks like.

[yeah, Madoka's just gonna brain beam over this drawing.]

[witchwithoutacause]

It's like

I can just go up and be me

and no big deal lol that's pretty great.

CANDY!

AND HALLOWEEN IN GENERAL REALLY?

[soulcomet]

[voila! enjoy the brain art.]

Here you go! I didn't know what you look like, so I improvised. I hope that's okay.

I really like candy, too, though! My favorites are chocolate bars with matcha, but I'll try anything.

[gimmecandy]

THIS IS REALLY CUTE OH MY GOODness! You are a very talented young lady! My favorite tends to be toffee and lollipops! AND ALSO SUCKERS, WHICH I GUESS ARE LOLLIPOPS LOL?

[insubordination]

[ pinning down his favorite thing from home is a little difficult to describe, but: ]

Are you typically an artist?

[soulcomet]

I don't think artist is the right word, I'm not all that good at it. I just like to draw for fun!

I don't mind drawing something for you, if you'd like.

[insubordination]

[ either an entirely too nice person, or someone who wants to keep busy. or both! it may be both.

either way: ]

I'm afraid my favorite thing from home is a little too complicated to sum up in a simple drawing, but if you're taking requests, I would love to see some sort of dog.

[ poor black hayate, probably bored to death in amestris. ]

[lalliho]

how do you decide which thing is your favorite?

[soulcomet]

Uh. I'm not sure ... I guess it's whatever thing you like that you feel really strongly about!

What sort of things do you like?

[lalliho]

[Even if it's a simple question, it takes Lalli a long while to formulate an answer.]

sleeping. doing a good job. food's good -- I like meat and cookies. the moon is nice.

[alphonse]

[A distraction is the best idea ever.]

Hmm, everything I can think of might be kind of hard to draw. [He's more about places than things.] How about something you like?

[soulcomet]

Me? Hmmm.

[well, if Madoka had to pick a favorite thing, it would actually have to be a group of things: her friends. so, after a little while, Al's going to get this drawing.]

[alphonse]

[MADOKA. He expected a cute animal or something! It takes a couple minutes for him to reply.]

That's really good! And it's pretty impressive to draw something as complicated as my armor from memory.

[More importantly:]

Thanks, Madoka.

[knighthooded]

the mayor
he was an alien but one of my best friends
a guy wrapped in gray sheets and a mayor sash

[soulcomet]

[Madoka is oddly compelled to render the mayor in red. she is not sure if aliens have hair, but she drew a little bit just in case.]

Here — I hope I did him justice, he sounds really important! What is he the mayor of?

[knighthooded]

he looks rad
mayor of can town which is the most awesome place you can imagine
and it just keeps getting bigger

[enlightenedhealer]

[Wanting to draw is seems strangely specific but she likes the idea.]

It's one of my favorite places. It's called Lhant Hill. It overlooked the ocean. There was a huge tree and so many colorful flowers. It was a very special place to me.

[soulcomet]

[something that sounds so nice deserves to be drawn in multiple colors, not just pink! so after a little while, Madoka sends on over this mental image.]

It sounds beautiful! There's a field of flowers back home that I love to visit. It's quiet and peaceful, and is a really good place to go if you need to think.

[drizzle]

Hmm, my favorite thing from back home? That's a tough one.

[She will begin to think about it without realizing she may be accidentally flashing Madoka with many mental images from her own. First, she'll show Madoka her world's clear blue sky, the sun rising from the horizon, the sun setting from the same horizon, mountains, batches of roses, all types of different food, starry night sky, a festival she had once gone to, the sparkling rain shower, fog, and a white halo surrounding the sun. It was clear she loved the sky by the amount of versions being shown.]

[soulcomet]

Those are all beautiful, Nike-san! Do you have one in particular that you'd like for me to draw?
