...
I'd like to be by myself.
-She walks out of the kitchen-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Main Room
Homura: (nods) First things first, of course.
??? -> Oktavia's Labyrinth
Sayaka: (via telepathy) <Shh.> (plunges the sword through her chest and her body slumps forward)
(Suddenly, the lights go up in this strange location
◊note , with a real high ceiling even for Mindy to awe at. In the background, a couple of Holger
◊ and Klarissa
◊ familiars seem to go about shuffling items around, and in the background a few sounds of tuning violins might be heard.)
Charlotte: (walks a few steps away from Mindy to look around) {Wow...} (What Charlotte said comes out as gurgles, but this time everyone can understand her, though she doesn't seem to realize it.)

Homura: (looks right at Archer) ...I'll think of something. (One guess what that means.)
Oktavia's Labyrinth
Charlotte: {This is...labyrinth?}
(And then in the background, the curtains slowly part and a really-tall Oktavia holding an equally-tall sword slides out from behind them, looking down at the others.)
Sayaka's voice: (seems to echo from all directions) Yeah, uh...sorry about the mess. Wasn't expecting company, heh.
(She wasn't kidding - the place, while not in disrepair, could be charitably described as disorganized. Two Klarissa Familiars approach the group using what seems to be club-dance moves, heading for Charlotte from behind. One of them has something that looks like a Grief Cube, except pink.)

Homura: ...I have to practice thinking on my feet again anyway.
Oktavia's Labyrinth
Sayaka: (Mindy) This is a Witch's Labyrinth, Mindy. Mine, to be precise. And... (Oktavia turns to face Mindy) ...this is my Witch form.
(Gert) It's OK, Gert - I swear. It's just me. Well, OK, not me-me, but...you know what I mean, right? (pause) ...I'll explain everything later if you want.
(Kyoko) ...Kyoko. (sounds a bit sadder) Hi. (A very brief, faint rumbling rolls by.)
(One of the Klarissa taps Charlotte on the head - when she turns around to look its hand reaches down with the pink Grief Cube and offers it to her while the other beckons her to follow to...who-knows-where. Charlotte takes the pink Grief Cube and uses her worm form to eat it, whereupon it makes a series of funny faces before retreating back inside Charlotte's usual form. She seems a little brighter now, with an additional pink ribbon tied around one of her ears.)
Sayaka: (Charlotte) There. Is that better?
Charlotte: (nods head several times) {Mmm-hmm! Feel much better. Thank you Oktavia!}
Sayaka: ...y-yeah, of course. You brought me a really important message and didn't give in this whole time. It's the least I can do.

Kitchen -> ???
Charlotte: (melancholic three-syllable gurgle, that only Mindy may somehow realize means "I'm sorry.")
Sayaka: (did not notice Charlotte thing) I know what I'm doing, Kyoko. Though I should warn you guys, this might be kinda freaky. (drops to her knees and prepares her cutlass by turning the blade towards herself as the whole kitchen seems to grow dark to everyone in the immediate vicinity of Sayaka, with only the other people visible)
Charlotte: (looks at Sayaka and emits a startled gurgle)
Main Room
Homura: Hmm. A necklace or a brooch, then?
