3rd Magic Bullet

[Phone; unfiltered]

Man, that was pretty weird, huh?  How much of all that do you guys think actually happened?  Was it an illusion or something?  Or maybe it was a really long and awesome dream?  Either way, the people in charge around here must be pretty powerful mages to affect a whole town like that for so long.

I'm glad the robot's gone and everything, but I kind of wish they'd have let me keep my other stuff from home.  But they left me the most important thing, so I can't complain too much.  Anyway, if anybody wants to join me since the weather's warmed up, I'm gonna be shooting some hoops after school today!

[Action; Friday afternoon - Mayfield High Gymnasium]

[Just like she said, Yuna's in the school gym after hours today, practicing on the basketball court.  She's wearing a loose shirt and boys' athletic shorts for lack of anything suitable for girls, dribbling the ball up and down the court and taking practice shots.  The hoop's too high up for her to get any awesome dunk shots or anything, but she does land over 90% of the shots she takes from mid-court or closer.  Anyone can feel free to come and join her during her practice, or when she's gone over to the bleachers for a water break]

Hah... I wonder if anyone would be interested in starting up a girls' team?

[Action; Friday night - Makeout Point]

[Yuna didn't announce this, but late Friday evening after the sun goes down, she's up at Makeout Point to practice some gunplay.  It's secluded and out of the way, she reasons, and the fact that she might be interrupting some hot dates seems not to have occurred to her.  At any rate, she draws a small rectangular card out of her pocket.]

Adeat!

[As the command leaves her lips, the card flashes and transforms Yuna into an awesome gunner outfit complete with magical pistol.]

All right, time to get some practice in!

[And she begins running all through the area, dodging left and right and strafing while firing magically charged bullets at rocks and various other pieces of scenery.]

You have a magic gun?

Like a gun that is magical, or a gun that shoots magic? ...actually I'm not sure what the difference between those two would be, but huh. How'd you get a thing like that?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Oh! I kissed my teacher.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

...and he paid you for that with a gun or something?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

It was like a magical contract or something. You kiss him and then get a cool artifact.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

You don't find that kind of... sleazy? At all?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Huh? What do you mean?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

I mean... it's your teacher.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's okay, he's only ten years old!

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Oh. Okay, that's not as....

Wait, why is your teacher a ten year old!?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

He's some kind of super child prodigy genius or something.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Who gives you magic items for kissing him... I'd say you have to be making this up, but it's too bizarre to be the product of an imagination.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

It's more like a magic contract or something like that. I don't really understand it that well. I just wanted the cool magic item. Everybody gets a different one when they do it!

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

I guess if you're happy with the result, that's what matters. Though kissing someone for a reason like that... ah well, no harm done.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but like I said, he's just a kid! I mean, he's cute and all, but I'm not some kind of shotacon like class rep. And I'm not really in the market for a boyfriend right now anyway.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Well... that's good to hear. I don't know about your class rep, but 10 really is a bit young. Besides, there's no reason to rush into that sort of thing anyway... your approach is probably the best one.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah! And besides, I needed to be able to fight anyway to help him save the world and stuff.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Why is it that the majority of people I meet here seem to be greatly involved in the matter of saving their worlds?

Since when are worlds that fragile I have a hard time just getting by and living in mine, let alone having to save the entire thing.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Well, we're actually saving someone else's world. It's kind of a long story. But there's demons and mages and stuff fighting to stop us, and the whole place is about to collapse in on itself.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

You know that's something I've never understood about stories like that... why would people want to stop you? What does anyone have to gain from a world being destroyed?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

It's pretty complicated, but it's kind of like... the magic that keeps their world together is running out, so it'd collapse anyway. But the bad guys are trying to find a way to save some of the people living there while sacrificing all the other ones. Oh, and there's also other bad guys that just want to let everyone get wiped out. Negi-sensei has a plan to keep the world together without having to sacrifice anyone, though, so I'm helping him with that. But it basically means it's just him and the rest of my class versus a whole army.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

If you ask me, you're doing the right thing. If there's a chance to save everyone, you should always take it. Sacrificing others is never acceptable... even if you're up against an entire army, I think you'll win. Heh, that's how it'd work in manga anyway.. but even if you don't manage to pull it off, I still think you're definitely doing the right thing.

But I guess you already know that, or you wouldn't be doing it.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah! We'll definitely figure out a way to save everyone. I believe in Negi-sensei. He always thinks of a plan that works and follows it through to the end.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Even if it doesn't, trying was better than just giving up and sacrificing people like those others.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Now I just need to figure out how to come back from being turned into a stone statue, haha~

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

That sounds pretty serious... sorry I can't help you there. Maybe you could try, uh, moisturizer?
