.:Contract?:. ~Puella Magi Madoka Magica OC RP~, ~In exchange for a wish, will you become a Magi?~ Options

[Dragoncookie]

Erin grinned. "Yes, pikachu~! I like Pokémon, they're very cute." She kept her phone in her pocket after texting her parents, who had called her three times, worried.
"Sure, you can walk me home. Not that I'm worried that it's dangerous, I can defend myself perfectly, but I don't like going alone. It's sad." She held her own arms when the cold wind passed her by.
"So this was your first witch, huh?" She gave him a suspicious look "Your technique seems awfully developed for a newbie. And even if you've fought many familiars, your soul gem doesn't seem corrupted enough for someone who's never gotten a grief seed. But, it's okay, we all make mistakes. I remember in my third witch fight, which was against Gertrud, I had to use magic to make a new dress, because all that was left of the previous were tiny rags." Scratching her head, she looked at Inkyu.
"You sure are one bossy idiot. Care to explain?" She poked the Incubator's cheek, but as a response, all she got was a blink.
"Hm. I guess not!" She said stretching out her arms. "Well, it's getting late. Let's just walk through Strange-City-Mitakihara and go home, okay?"

[Shaddow]

Leon nodded and fell into step beside Erin. "What do you mean corruption? You mean that bit of darkness?" He scratched his head and looked at the ring. It was a slight bit darker than it had been before. "Well, I haven't fought many familiars either....I'm just talented I guess." He gave off a bad laugh, obviously trying to cover up something.

He stepped in front of her and started walking backwards. "As far as my technique goes, I just did a lot of training, I kind of like being a hero, ya know?" He looked at this girl, the first other magi he had ever met. "So how old are you anyways? I'm really bad at guessing ages." He smiled again, running a hand through his short, spiky hair.

[Dragoncookie]

Erin made another one of her serious faces.
"It's hard to trust you if you're lying." She said telepathically to Leon.
"Yes, corruption is that darkness in your soul gem. Your energy uses up when you use magic, and if your soul gem gets exhausted you'll... uh, stop being able to transform to a Magi." She couldn't tell him the whole truth. It was too painful. She had learnt it two years ago when her Magi friend let her soul sink into despair. Erin was the one to kill her afterwards. She'd kept her cards and grief seed intact, in a box, where she couldn't see them. She didn't plan on going the same way. Her only goal was now to survive as long as her vital energy allowed such.
"So you're talented, eh?" She smiled at him, suspicious. "I get the feeling you're not telling the whole story, Mr. Hero. But anyway. I can see your wish would have something to do with heroic acts, no? Maybe saving someone?" The moonlight reflected in a building in front of her.
"Oh, my house is this way" She said, turning left.

[Shaddow]

I suppose I'm going to have to get used to this telepathic thing, I thought it was just something Inkyu could do. He turned, following the girl. He looked down at his ring again, then at the one on the girls hand. "So I guess you are my Senpai then? That's the right word, isn't it? I'm still getting used to speaking Japanese." He looked away, lost in thoughts of his past, intentionally ignoring the question about his wish.

"So tell me, Senpai, what is this town like? I'm new around here, ya know? Is there any place to have fun? Someplace to find some thrills?" He laughed and ran his hand through his hair again. "Not that hunting witches isn't thrilling and all."

[Dragoncookie]

"Haha, no. We Magi are also gifted with this sweet Jedi mind power. It has its limits, though." Erin scratched her finger at looked at her nail marking. It was so impractical for polishing... She sighed.
"Yep. That's the word alright. Oh! Right, you asked my age. I'm 16." A breeze passed by her. "Well, there's nowhere really interesting around here... I spend most of my time at the shopping district or the mall. Other than that, it really is your average boring town. There's a really nice hill on the outskirts that has a great view over the town, though. How long have you been here, Kyrin-kun?" She scanned her head for good places in Mitakihara. "Oh! Right. There are some buildings you can slide between, it's pretty fun. But if you're looking for something that compares to witch hunting, sorry to disappoint!" She scratched the back of her head.

[Shaddow]

Leon laughed as the girl struggled to answer so many questions at once. "Don't worry about it, Senpai. I'm sure I'll invent something super awesome and really thrilling." He looked down at the small spiral mark on his hand, it was barely noticeable, many thought it was a birthmark. "I've been here for about a week, I start school tomorrow. Hey, Senpai. Is it strange for a boy to be a magi? I'm new to all these things, but I've never heard of anything like that."

[Dragoncookie]

"I'll be looking forward to it! We sure could use something fun around here that isn't potentially deadly." She spoke that last word with some disgust. All the sacrifices Magi had made came to her mind. It was sad, and horrible. She hoped to change it all, but she was only one girl.
"Oh, well, to be honest, I've only met Puella. I never met a Pueri before. Even though, I don't know a lot of a Magi." She scratched her nose thoughtfully.
"Oh. My house is here." She said when they stopped by a big apartment building.
"Well, see you tomorrow, Kyrin-kun."

[Shaddow]

Leon nodded and looked up at the apartments. "Pretty fancy place you have here." He held out his hand; "It was fun, I'll see you later, Senpai."
Suddenly embarrassed he pulled his hand back and turned around, trying to act cool. "If you need me to save you again, just call." He tapped his finger to the side of his head and walked off.

A few blocks down the road, Leon entered his house and said; "I'm home!" The darkness gave no response. Of course no one would respond, he lived alone now. Just him. Dad was always traveling, and mom had stayed behind in New Jersey with his little sister. He kicked off his shoes and changed into the house slippers as he dropped he set his coat on the rack.

"I wonder how Elly is doing." He said out loud, as he flicked on the lights. A sudden movement caught his eye, and he jumped over onto the intruder.

That's not nice, Kyrin-kun.

"It's you. What do you want?" He let go of the small grey rodent looking creature. Inkyu was it's name, he remembered.

I'm just here to give you a warning. It tilted it's head sideways, the glowing eyes trying to bore into his soul. You cannot trust that girl, she has been doing this for too long.

Leon walked away from the creature "Whatever, I can take care of myself. I'm doing what you asked, even though no one knows about it. This isn't exactly what I wished for, you know. Perhaps it is you that can't be trusted."

Inkyu jumped up to the window and looked back at Leon. I only grant the wishes, it's up to you how they turn out. Keep what I said in mind.

"Whatever." Leon said as Inkyu vanished into the night.

[Dragoncookie]

"Haha! I will, I will. See you!" She waved and entered the building.
Quietly, she opened the door to her house. Her mother was sitting by the entrance, asleep. She had most likely been waiting for Erin. Taking a blanket from the living room, Erin covered her mom and left for her room.
Turning on the lights, she closed her eyes. She wasn't used to the glow of her bright emerald-colored walls after a whole night out. She opened her cards box and looked at a particular witch's.
Elisa, the shoes witch. Her nature is lonely. None her shoes have a pair, so she spends all her time making new ones. Since she doesn't know who steals her shoes, she kills all her visitors.
Keeping the card in place, she sighed.
"Hi there, Inkyu." Her voice was only a whisper. "What are you doing tonight?"
"Just trying to get that boy doubting you." He knew it was pointless to lie- Erin would see through them.
"Oh, okay have fu-- wait... What?!" She screamed silently "Hey, Inkyu!" but he was already gone.
"So, you want war, little bastard? Game on."

[Shaddow]

"We have a new student today, a transfer student from America. Everyone welcome Leon Kyrin." It was the next day and Leon had been paraded in front of his new class after hearing a bunch of whispers as he walked down the hall. It was a lot of attention, but he was really enjoying it. He stepped forward and bowed, just like he had practiced a thousand times at home. It was perfect, he was convinced of it.

"My name is Kyrin, please take care of me." The whispers started again, it was probably due to his exotic hair color or the shape of his eyes. Being half American had it's perks. "Where can I sit?" He asked the teacher, mostly out of formality, he had already picked a seat.

"Ah, um, sit anywhere there is an opening." Ha. Even the teacher was flustered by him, it was to be expected, he was going to be the most popular person in school after all. He turned, just enough that no one else could see and winked slightly at his teacher.

"Thank you, sensei, I think I see a spot." His teacher blushed and tried to regain her composure as he sat down next to his target, a cute girl with violet hair. It was long, really long and she looked really shy. It was perfect. "Hi, I'm Kyrin. What's your name?"

The girl blushed and pushed up her glasses. "I-I'm Ayame Sakura."

Leon smiled at her. "Sakura-san, I see. It's nice to meet you." He continued to talk to the girl as class droned on, ignoring anything he was actually supposed to be learning.

[Dragoncookie]

Erin yawned. She had 17 minutes left before she had to go to her Biology class, and yet nothing to do. She gave in to her secret hobby: spying people. Usually, she'd spend ten minutes imagining what student A thought of student B, but today, something was different. Everyone was gossiping among themselves. Natsumi, a girl from Erin's class, pulled her into a tight circle of gossiping girls.
"Ahmaigawd, Erin, have you heard? There's a new transfer student in class 1B!" Natsumi whispered.
"I heard he's really cute!" commented Tsukasa, another girl.
"A girl told me he's american!" Shizuka, a year older, added.
"What the hell am I doing here...?" Erin thought, not paying much attention to what the girls were saying.
Until a few words rang out in her head.
"W-wait. Did I get this straight...? A cute transfer student from America?" she asked. Almost as if they'd rehearsed, the three girls nodded at the same time. Erin thought of the previous night.
"Interesting. Has any of you actually seen him?"
This time, the answer was negative. Erin said goodbye to the gossiping girls and looked around. How likely was it that the boy was Leon Kyrin? Almost certain. Erin ran around a corner. A heap of girls was surrounding someone. Someone with short spiky lime green hair.
"Hey, Kyrin-kun! Is that you buried in a pile of girls?" she yelled, half-mocking.

[Shaddow]

Leon was being mobbed. It was nice, sort of, but the girls were really being pushy. He had lost track of Sakura-chan, and that made him a little sad, she was fun to talk to. He was just contemplating how to get out of this circle when he barely heard a friendly voice. "Senpai? Is that you? Senpai?" He tried a few times before he realized his voice could not be heard among all the girls.

Senpai! Help, I don't know how to get away from them!

He tried to push through, tried to ask politely, but the girls were to busy talking ABOUT him, not even to him, to listen. He finally gave up hope and sat down on the bench, allowing the girls to fawn over him. Maybe being popular wasn't as great as he had first thought.

[Dragoncookie]

"Seems like you're in trouble. But worry not, Erin-senpai is here!" Erin rolled up her uniform sleever and crossed her arms.
"Oi, ladies! How about you give that poor boy some space to breathe? Can't you see you're bothering him?" She yelled at the mass of crazy fans, making them go quiet.
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" A girl that Erin recognized as Hazuki from the class next to hers spoke up. "You just want him all for yourself, don't you?"
Before Erin could say how stupid she was to say such a thing, Touko from the same class as Hazuki commented something that Erin thought had already been forgotten.
"Hey, but that's Lady Hercules!"
The chatter began immediatly. After a few moments, they all dispersed, clearly afraid of Erin.
"I thought they'd all forgotten about that already..." She sighed and sat near Leon. "Are you okay, Kyrin-kun? You seem to be making an impression already."

[Shaddow]

Leon sat back and grinned, already comfortable. "Yeah, I have that effect on women." He stood up and laughed. "Thanks, Senpai. You really saved me. Let me walk you back to class." He put his arms on he shoulders and turned her around, starting to walk with her.

After a moment of silence he finally spoke up. "So....Lady Hercules? What's that all about?" He was pretty sure he was touching on a sore subject, but he wanted to clear it up early before he said something stupid. He thought back to his old school as he asked this, things were different there, that was for sure.

He had been constantly picked on and teased over that yootoob video. Hey Hero-man! Who did you save today? The taunts were ridiculous like that, but it didn't mean they didn't hurt. He had thought he was a big hero. Walking down the street he noticed a bank robbery happening, cops, reporters, even people standing around. It was like something out of a movie!

He did not want to let anyone get hurt, so he snuck in through a window on the second floor of the bank. Being extremely careful, he made his way to the ground floor and snuck up behind one of the robbers. Using what he had learned in martial arts, he knocked out the man silently and moved him aside. He then quickly ran up and disarmed a second one, then pointed the gun at the last remaining robber, yelling for him to drop the gun.

It was then that the director yelled "CUT!" and everything broke down. It was no surprise this looked like something out of a movie, that is exactly what it was. He had busted into a movie set, assaulted a couple of actors and had it all caught on film. It was uploaded to the internet only a few hours later, and his life was never the same.

[Dragoncookie]

Erin sighed. "It's nothing big. I just hate that nickname since it's very... raw." She cleared her throat. "Last year, this guy made a bet with me. He said that if I could lift a big, heavy rock, he'd give me 200 yen. I took it further- I was kinda broke and needed to buy some stuff. So I said that I'd lift a car and he'd give me 2000 yen. He agreed. During lunch break, I used magic to lift up a car and put it back on the ground safely. I really just levitated it and pretended to hold it, but everyone was very impressed. They gave me that stupid name, but kept it low until three months ago. There was a senior guy bullying a poor junior girl. I told him to stop, and he thought it'd be funny to punch my stomach. I kicked him where it hurts, and used his angry blind hits to leave him sore for three weeks. It was fun! I got a big detention, but at least I helped that poor girl. Since then, I think everyone is kinda afraid of me. But I hoped they had forgotten about that name already..." She scratched her head. "Well, here's my classroom." She stopped in front of class 2A as the bell rang. "I'm gonna have two hour biology, until lunchtime. Meet me at the cafeteria and then we can discuss that bad event of your past you've been thinking about. I can't see it clearly." She winked and entered the classroom. She couldn't help but think how much of a girl she was- why did she need to know everything? She sat by Natsumi's side when the teacher got in.
"Hey, Erin, nice! I heard you scared off all the competition. Way to go, girl!" She gave Erin a very misunderstood high five. It took the other girl a couple moments to understand what Natsumi was talking about.
"Oh, that? No, you've got it all wrong, Nat. Actually, I--" she began trying to explain herself.
"Hasegawa! Konohaki! Pay attention." The teacher scolded.
Sighing, Erin turned to her notebook.

[Shaddow]

You sure are nosey. He said with a laugh in his inner voice. I'll see you at lunch, Senpai, but we should eat on the roof. That is where boys and girls go when they wanna be secret, isn't it? He walked away and grinned, it was nice to be able to embarrass her a bit too. He would have to keep a tighter reign on his thoughts, he hadn't meant for her to notice that. It was something he wanted to avoid at his new school.

He entered his class room and sat down, right next to Sakura-chan again. "Hey, did you miss me?" He said with his signature grin, causing her to turn all sorts of shades of red. He sat back with a small grin, enjoying seeing her blush, but actually really appreciating her smile. He sat through class, ignoring most of it. English was going to be a breeze for him anyways.

Once class was over he tried his hardest to catch up to Sakura-chan before she left, but the mob of students wanting his help with their school work kept him from catching her in time. He scratched the back of his head and smiled. "Uh, listen, I'll see what I can do, but I have to go meet with someone for lunch, maybe later, ok?"

He made his way past them, as they started whisper and gossip about who he could be meeting, and stepped out the door.

[Dragoncookie]

Erin lightly danced as she got up the stairs to the roof, holding her old and dear bento bow tight.
I'm climbing up the stairs
While looking like and idiot
I don't know why I'm singing
But Inkyu sure sucks
She sang, happy for not being alone. She finally had another magi to talk to. Her life since Koyuki had died was very lonely, mostly she had been kept to herself, wishing that she could not be a magi. But now, she had a friend again. The sunlight touched her skin as she grinned like an idiot, looking at the view from the roof. Inkyu may or not have shown up, and Erin may or not have thrown him off the roof. She just sat there waiting, afterwards. Leon was probably being viciously assaulted by girls, but he could probably shake them off.

[Shaddow]

Leon sat on the roof of the stairwell, listening to Erin-Senpai singing. She wasn't bad, even if the song was a bit silly. He watched her sit down and just smile, it was nice. He got the feeling that she wasn't the type to normally smile. After a minute longer he jumped down behind her. "Surprise!" He said as he landed.

He sat down next to her and pulled out a small box, what was it called again? Bendo? Yeah, that was it. "I got this down at the corner store, I hope this bendo tastes good." He took a bite of the strange goopy substance inside. It was sweet...really sweet and had a very strange texture. "Ugh what is this paste stuff?"

He set aside his bendo, and looked at Erin-Senpai. "So, what did you want to talk about, Senpai?"

[Dragoncookie]

"Eep!" Erin let out a small squeak, startled by Leon's sudden jump.
"Oh, hi there, Kyrin-kun. Didn't see you...!" She said, blushing a little, being caught by surprise. They sat down and got eating. Erin opened her box, she'd made it herself that morning. It was made to look suspiciously like Inkyu. Smirking she gobbled one of its eyes.
"It's bento, not bendo." She corrected. "Also, that's red bean paste. It's really sweet." She explained, chunking off a bit of Inkyu's face.
"Oh right. I wanted to know about your traumatic past experience. I told you mine!" She attempted to smile, with her mouth half full.
"But also, we have to meet up to discuss a witch fighting strategy. Umm, who do you live with, if I may ask? It's just that my brother would tease the hell out of me if I ever brought a boy home while he is there." She frowned. Tobiko got to her nerves all the time, but if she brought a boy home and locked herself with him in her room for what could be hours, she'd never know peace again.

[Shaddow]

Leon leaned back, setting the bento aside, leaving the overly sweet red bean paste in tact. "My past?" He sighed, and pulled out his phone. "It's easier to just show you, though I was hoping to never have to bring this up again." He loaded up Yootoob and showed her the entire video of him 'thwarting' the robbery. Blushing he put the phone away after the several minutes had passed.

"You see, it's pretty bad." He looked up at the blue sky, barely a cloud to be seen despite the autumn weather. "You want to know who I live with? I actually live alone." He smiled, a bit sadly. "My Dad is always on business trips, and my mom and little sister are still in America." He closed his eyes, letting the cool wind wash across him. "I want a new start, that's why I moved here."
