[TEXT]

[Well, the network is getting a somewhat saner post from Kimblee this time around; he seems to have settled quite a bit since the bout of whatever-that-was involving the rain and the Anoriths and the...crazy, let's not lie to ourselves.

So there's text again tonight, and not a whole lot of prelude or explanation with it.]

In the interest of equivalent exchange...what would be the largest sacrifice you would be willing to make, in order to receive whatever it is that you desire most? For the sake of argument, you would receive exactly what it is you want, without any hideous Monkey's-Paw, literal-genie side effects. Adhering to the spirit of the law as well as the letter. I don't care what it is in particular, and you don’t have to specify. Just whatever it is you want most. What would you be willing to sacrifice for it?

Ah, and assume that offering your own life isn't an option, because that renders the question an entirely moot point; however, I’m not saying lives in general are off-limits - if you'd kill a room full of strangers, then you would, and you won't offend my delicate sensibilities any by saying so. On the other hand, if you don't consider anything to be worth it, then I'll question your powers of imagination but so be it.

Answer anonymously, if you're more comfortable doing it that way; after all, I'm not looking to measure how depraved my acquaintances are - your name is of less concern to me than your answer.

[Oh, look, apparently it's time for another one of these. This'll hit shortly after the text post, anyway.]

Well, it seems as though we've been rejoined by at least one of our fairly prolific former members in recent times, and our ranks are showing signs of increasing in numbers again – hopefully this time it'll stay that way, hm?

At any rate, it's good to see that the most recent round of assignments seems to have gone well, with the exceptions of a few small…setbacks. That was very cute, by the way, all three of you in Goldenrod – I trust you're all still in one piece? I'd like to hear from at least one of you, if you don't mind; it seems we have much to discuss.

Ah, but it's not all bad, if any of it truly is at all; I'd like to hear from all of you, if you don't mind. For those who aren't familiar with me, my name is Solf J Kimblee – I've been promoted several times within this organization, and I like to get to know our members personally.

[Technically true. He never said they were concurrent promotions.]

And for those who are familiar, I'd like to hear about what you've been doing with yourselves. Consider it a matter of curiosity - it's a good night for that.

[This question actually reminds her of someone else! ...Except Kyuubey wouldn't call any off-limits, considering how excited he was every time, whenever someone triggered Madoka's magical potential into a better direction with their actions. But, there really was no point in really dying, unless they could be saved from it somehow. And as much as magical girls back home liked keeping things as a secret, Madoka has no problem being open about stuff. Not when she's from a point where everything is clear to her and she knows what she desires the most. And you, sir, asked, so here goes~]

Changing myself into something or someone, who can save all the other girls of my world from a horrible fate in the past, future and present. I'm pretty sure I would have to erase my whole existence from the Earth to make it come true, but I would have no regrets. Some people might call it worse than dying, but I'd rather do that than let my friends and others suffer. I wouldn't be dead though! I'd see it all come true and watch over everyone forever from wherever I'd be after making that wish come true. So I guess it doesn't count as off-limits here, since I'd be alive. I just wouldn't be anywhere for anyone to reach me.

Taking a third option, then; I can't say that I disapprove of your methods, though most wouldn't think in terms so distant from reality. As far as where I'm from is concerned, you would have effectively just made yourself some sort of deity.

[YOU HAVE NO IDEA, KIMBLEE...]

Although, if I may - why are you specifying that you would save the girls in particular? Admittedly, I don't know you or your context, but it seems strange to me to want to rescue one gender or another and not leave it at "everyone."

I really hope most people don't have to even think of such things to do for anyone. But well, considering what I was doing back home, I think it may not be so distant from reality to me. Such wish might end up making a human into a deity in my world too, but whatever the result would be, I wouldn't regret it.

[She knows nothing for sure at this point, except the fact that ooops, she at least told Kyuubey to fulfill her wish. It doesn't take a genius to guess what consequences it will have if it really works.

Sheepish laugh at his question from her end. Ooops, she could have explained that right from the start.]

Ummm, that's because I come from a world, where some girls hold magical potential. There's someone, who can grant us one wish to make that potential into real magical powers, but we have to be real careful! It's just one wish and we can't change back to normal girls after that if we decice to wish for something from him. And um, then magical girls fight against witches, who cause most accidents and other bad things in my world instead of what they are usually caused by in other worlds. But if a magical girl is not careful, they might become a witch themselves since all witches used to be magical girls. Of course that's not something we get to know when we wish to get our magical powers from the one, who grants them to us! We just have to find it out on our own. I want to save them all from such horrible fate, no matter what it takes.

I see - so on a technical level, you've already had this sort of question posed to you, though not necessarily in a way that you may have been aware of at the time. Interesting.

[...well, it's interesting and giving him a serious case of the wig. It's sort of like alchemy, with the whole "potential" thing, only if alchemy was powered by the suffering of little girls and eventually it turned you into...something like Envy, if we're all going to be honest with ourselves about Envy's sense of luck and how well things tend to go when he's around.

...yeah, it's kind of fortunate that this is over text and you can't see his expression, Madoka, because what fresh hell is this.]

So if this wish of yours doesn't work out, at least not in the way you hope it will...? What then?
