[The background is decidedly not the high school that Shinji's Holy Grail War takes place in. It looks like a nicely set-up bedroom, instead, and there's a very nice and comfy-looking bed that eight-year-old Shinji is jumping on for a moment before collapsing and hugging his pillows with a goofy smile on his face.

Ladies and gentlemen, Shinji is in the real world.]

Oh.

[....play it cool, kefka, play it cool]

What are you doing, kid?

[giftedateight]

I am celebrating not being stuck in a virtual reality like I have for the past couple months. What are you doing?

[sandinmyboots]

[Does Shinji recognize him?]

Taking a break from fighting witches! And trying out this new duck thing.

[giftedateight]

Huh, you haven't been here? Well, I could've told it was a virus before that anyway.

[Yep.]

[sandinmyboots]

Yeah, apparently I'm not the standard Kefka people know here. Did you know me?

[giftedateight]

We were pretty close.

[sandinmyboots]

Was I happy?

[giftedateight]

Kind of temperamental. But... getting there.

[sandinmyboots]

[A slow smile.] Sounds about right. My temper is well known throughout the region.

[giftedateight]

I'd never want to piss off a guy like you.

[sandinmyboots]

Yeah, I'm pretty scary when I'm mad!

[giftedateight]

No way am I getting on the wrong side of that... judgmenty light thing.

[sandinmyboots]

...I don't have any light powers.

[giftedateight]

You do when you're not virused.

[sandinmyboots]

Interesting. My powers are a bit more...etheral. Ethereal. Whatever.

[giftedateight]

I'm not completely up to speed on what it exactly is, but it's something special, all right.

[sandinmyboots]

Can you make this private so no one can hack it? I don't want everyone knowing about my powers.

[This whole thread is now locked.]

[giftedateight]

Are you kidding? I'm the best hacker there is.

[sandinmyboots]

Excellent! I salute you.

Ok, so you need context first. I'm a puella magi, which is kind of magical warrior who fights monsters. Now, you sign up to be a magi in exchange for one wish - any wish. Your wish helps determine your secondary powers.

You with me so far?

[giftedateight]

I follow. What'd you wish for?

locked party

[sandinmyboots]

"I wish that people understood my feelings."

What that means is that I can beam my emotions into other people's heads. Or into witches. Imagine the enemy so wracked with grief that they can't concentrate...!

[giftedateight]

That's a pretty weird thing for your attack powers to be based on. I'm just going to put that out there.

I also have a spiked mace that I can lengthen and shorten to my heart's desire? And it's a really good power! Our power sources are affected by our emotions, so being able to alter emotions is powerful in this world!

[giftedateight]

I guess so. I don't know much about your crazy alternate universe, but you take care of yourself.

I've chosen a dangerous life, but it's worth it. I'll do my best to survive!
