And then I forgot my college was having a scheduled internet outage over the next two days. D'oh! Well, at least I got my drabbles done. Posting them here for posterity.
Title: actions speak louder than words
Day/Theme: 02. dialogue lost loop
Series: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Characters: Kyouko, Mami, Sayaka
Rating: PG
Content Notes: Kyouko has always been a girl of action. Spoilers up to episode 9, Kyouko's backstory.
Words belong to Kyouko’s father. What Kyouko owns are actions – the burst of magic, the whirl of her spear, the stabbing motion that finishes off the witches. She’s a fighter of justice, a warrior of a high calling.
When Kyouko tries for words and her father tries for action, they both fail.
Mami spoke the right words, but her actions betrayed her true beliefs. Kyouko pares Mami’s attacks down to the bare truth and wins the right to leave.
It worked once, why not again? Against the witch that had been Sayaka, Kyouko foregoes words, and acts on her promise.
Title: the fading colours of day
Day/Theme: 03. the colors of the day that lie along your arms
Series: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Character: Sayaka
Rating: G
Content Notes: Some who wander are lost. Quick mention of a spoiler for Episodes 3/4
Sayaka didn’t pay any attention to where she is walking, and is surprised to find herself back at Kyouko’s church. Without Kyouko, she feels uncomfortable. She is not Christian, and the only other time she had been in a church was for Kyousuke’s performance. She calls up the treasured memory – the sweet sound of the violin and the colours the stained glass windows threw upon his arms.
Yes, she should remember that was the miracle that she wished for. But as the rays of the sun slant away from the church windows, she finds it harder and harder to recall.
Title: a lone candle
Day/Theme: 04. How far that little candle throws his beams. So shines a good deed in a weary world.
Series: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Character: Mami
Rating: G
Content Notes: Mami reflects on her life. Spoilers for Mami's backstory/A Different Story manga series
When Mami feels the magic girls struggling with the witch, she doesn’t think about territories – she immediately heads to rescue them. The girls have already defeated the familiars. That lets her bind the witch fast with her ribbons, followed by her guns to destroy it.
The girls are thankful, but not thankful enough to stay. As they leave, one of them calls out, “We won’t forget you!”
Alone again, Mami looks over the city and smiles. She had saved both magic girls and other humans from the witch. That was good enough. (It doesn’t matter that her smile is sad.)
