[up] Haha! You can't scare me away: I'm going to do this thing!

...Is it written alright? I haven't watched past episode 2, so I'm wondering if there are any glaring characterisation bits for Kyubey I'm missing out on.

Third, I've read the character page for QB. From what I saw, you got it right.

T Hough you'd better ask Mage

[up] From my experience, reading a character page is nowhere as enlightening as seeing the character in action.

His name as interpreted by my translators is Kyubey, dangit.

Erm, yeah. Mage, any word on that?

[up]I'm not Mage, but I'll throw my 2 cents in. Given that you haven't watched past episode 2, I think you're doing a very good job. You've done just about the best you can do with the information you have. Which isn't much, considering that episode three is generally considered the point where show's Genre makes itself evident. tongue

@Anemoi: I'll be able to work it on my own, once I sort through all the ideas and find the time to write it. I'll probably go trawling for feedback on which ideas to use, but I like writing the whole thing myself. Keeps it more consistent.

Unequally, Lesson 24, Continuation.

Nods to SCM for the opening lines, of course.

Takamachi Nanoha was having a perfectly average day.

Get up.

Get a quick shower.

Get dressed.

Innocently greet her older sister Miyuki while she was coming out of their brother's room, hastily adjusting her glasses and combing her hair.

Admire how saccharinely close her family was at the breakfast table.

Then rush out of the house for the school as her current favorite song, Happy Material, played on her iPod.

Hikaru kaze wo oikoshitara, kimi ni kitto aeru ne, atarashii kagayaki HAPPY READY GO!!

She waved at her next door neighbor and Sempai as she also walked out of her own big, fancy house, waving back and then chiding her Byakuya-Oniisama about letting his breakfast go cold. Then she raced down the street, heading straight for the huge front gates of the thankfully nearby Mahora Academy.

Mezameta bakari no, tokimeki hajikesou. Mune POCKET ni tsumete, sora wo miageta. Maegami no yukue wo, kagami to niramekko. ORIGINAL egao de, kakenuketai yo...

She ran past a new teacher for the University area, a thin, lanky foreign fellow with bottle-bottom glasses, a pet crow perched on a shoulder. For only a moment, he looked up from the newspaper he was reading through (Headlines: 'THREE FOUND DEAD GRINNING AT TOKYO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT'), gave the foolishly cheerful youngster a disdainful look, and shook his head to himself.

Ichibyou goto dokidoki, irodzuku kono hibi ga. Miraichizu ni naru, takanaru kodou...

Nanoha heard a loud zoom passing by over her head, and looked up to see Chachamaru-sempai flying for the main Academy building, carrying her friend (how was she named again? Evelyn-san?) in her arms. She knew Chachamaru-san, of course, as everyone who ate at the Chao Bao Zi with some frequency did; she was very popular, and there were even rumors about her having her own fanclub. And she, like everyone else, liked her, but still, Nanoha couldn't shake off the feeling there was something TOO WEIRD about Chachamaru-sempai.

Perhaps the fact she FLEW had something to do with it. Nah, it couldn't be.

Hikaru kaze wo oikoshitara. Nani ga matteiru no kana. Amefuri demo heiki, niji ni naru yo. COLOURFUL HAPPY MATERIAL GO!! Kimi ni kitto aeru ne. Chisana yuuki wo, sakase you.

Racing right behind Chachamaru-sempai, lifting clouds of dust at its wake, that odd Genius Sempai's speedster vehicle raced past Nanoha so fast it briefly lifted her skirt up, making her to yelp and push it back down. Genius-Sempai (who also worked at the Chao Bao Zi at times, although not as often- Perhaps she just had too many genius things to do at her lab, or something) didn't seem to notice, but her pimple faced taller friend holding to her waist for safety had started to yell at her over it, all the while Negi-sensei, who in turn was grabbing onto that girl's waist, cried a heartfelt apology to Nanoha. She also could have sworn the ermine perched on his shoulder made a sound oddly similar to 'PINK!!'. But maybe she was reading too much into it.

Everyone had come to know Negi-sensei through the last term as well, even those he never had taught to. He had amassed quite a followship; Alisa and Suzuka belonged to his fanclub, or rather one of his fanclubs, if Nanoha remembered well, although she was reasonably sure he had no idea he had such a club devoted to him.

Nanoha honestly couldn't see what was the big appeal about him, although she had to admit he seemed a nice person.

Hayari mo Study mo, youten CHECK OK. Hyouteki wo kakunin, SPEED shoubu. Nodo goshi sawayakana tokubetsu no yokan ga. Kono mune afureteku, kasoku shiteku yo...

Then a motorcycle also overtook her, with another motorcycle close by in hot competition. Kuga Natsuki-sempai and Harima Kenji-sempai, two of the biggest delinquents at the school, never missing a chance to race each other... whenever they actually bothered to show up for classes.

Whenever Nanoha's brother talked about buying a motorcycle, Dad would always say, "Just make sure you don't end up like Harima Kenji." But Nanoha didn't think badly of him. She never had seen him getting into a fight someone else hadn't started first.

And besides, she always had thought you had to convince some people the hrad way before befriending them. Not that she could imagine herself ever getting into serious fights for it...!

Namida kakushita egao, kimi wa kidzuiteru ne. Koi shiyo! Yume miyo! Watashi rashiku.

Konoka-sempai, the Dean's own granddaughter, passed by next, easily speeding in her roller skates, with her redhaired friend running at her side, somehow managing to keep up with her while complaining about getting late. Nanoha remembered hearing some of the girls at her class whispering a few things about her being a 'thespian' along with Genius-sempai and Negi-sensei's roommate. Something about 'a scene' at the public baths... Why so much secrecy about someone else being an actress of sorts, she'd never know, but her classmates were weird like that at times.

Negai no saki e Jump shitara. Uketomete kureru kana? Nayamu mae ni dekiru koto wo shiyou! COLORFUL HAPPY MATERIAL GO!! Osoroi no kirameki kimi ni todoketai HAPPY READY GO!

Another teenaged redhaired sempai ran past her, with a loaf of toasted bread in her mouth, muttering angrily something about a stupid Misato not waking her up early. A freckled girl with brown hair followed her, trying to calm her down and actually taking a moment to wave at Nanoha and telling her "Good morning!"

"Good morning!" Nanoha waved back. That sempai was always very kind to everyone. If only she could remember her name...

Kimi ni todoketai HAPPY READY GO!

Nanoha finally reached her classmates as they were getting ready to enter the main hall where the end of term ceremony would take place. "Ah! Ah!" she panted. "I almost got here late! Good morning, Alisa-chan, Suzuka-chan!"

"Good morning, Nanoha-chan!"

"Good morning, Sakura-chan, Tomoyo-chan, Naoko-chan, Chiharu-chan, Rika-chan!"

"Good morning, Nanoha-chan!"

"Good morning, Cocone-chan!"

"Good morning, Takamachi-san."

"... Cocone-chan..."

"Yes?"

"We really need to work on opening you up a lot more..."

"Thanks for your concern. But I have heard things about your concept of 'Befriending...'"

"ALISA-CHAN!"

Their blond classmate looked aside. "What? I only told her the truth of how we became friends..."

"It was just a push!"

"And some fisticuffs."

"True, but you started those..."

"And then the hair pulling..."

"Ah, yes. I had forgotten that part..."

"And then I pulled the—"

Kinomoto Sakura sweatdropped and waved a hand to stop that happy train of memories. "Ehhhh, girls...? The ceremony's about to begin..."

@iniquitus: Cubey (his name is short for something) is kind of a Stepford Smiler, so to speak. He has NO expressions. His infodump should be more vague and general. Other than tgat, good work. And thank yoy for not including Mami. Not that we dislike her, but... Well, you'll see...

@OM: i just realized: for all the world the Unequally is a Deconstruction of a Crapsack World, or maybe a Crapsaccharine World, it is also a World of Badass!!! And Nanoha GREW UP IN THIS!

[up] Dammit, it's 'Kyubey' from here on out, on my head be it. It's like the official name for Soi Fon being Sui Feng: It's the same character. And it's... short for something. Hmm. I'd guess 'Cube', but that makes no sense whatsoever.

And why not include Mami? Erm, mainly because I'm keeping it ambigous as to when this all happens. So far, it's looking like an alternate version of Puella Magi (meaning that somewhere out there, the most interesting thing in Madoka's life is being Mistaken for Gay), but I wouldn't tell you to rule out a full crossover just yet.

On a completely irrelevant note, is being a Puella Magi explicitly girls-only for plot reasons, or is it more of an ambigous requirement that girls just tend to have and boys not at all?

Girls only, because... Um, thst would be spoiling. Unless you REALLY want to know?

And yes, the 'cube' sound is somewhere in his name. Though without canon Madoka and her cast, this is just the story of Nodoka slowly... No, that would spoil it.

Eeesh, buddy, it's gonna be a while yet. Kyubey only just interacted with Nodoka last night, and I'm waiting until I've seen episode three before anyone even seriously considers becoming a Puella Magi.

@Iniquitis: Agreed with SCM. You're doing well, but understandably haven't got Kyubey's characterisation absolutely perfect.

I actually finished showing PMMM to my sister this weekend. It was fun to watch her face during a...certain scene in the latter half of the series.

Iniquitus, we already explained what Puella meant at the top of the previous page, or the one before. No worries, spoiler free.
