Hello, Lucetizens!

[A pause. Let that sink in for a moment.]

It's weird, you know? If I hadn't gone home the first time, I'd have already spent a year here... [It almost sounds like she's going for a serious moment of reflection... but the smile pops back onto her face pretty much right away.] But what I'm really getting at is I never got a chance to re-introduce myself! So!

I am Hoshikyo, Luceti's newest magical girl! Some of you have probably already met me. I'm kinda hard to miss. You know. Being pink and sparklie and all. But that's besides the point!

What I'm really hoping to ask here is if there's anyone else in this village who lives as a part-time hero. And I don't mean you RPG protags or Shounen Jump wannabes. I mean, like, secret identity type hero or wears-a-cool-uniform hero. That kind of stuff! I mean, I know you're out there and all, but in a place like this it just makes sense for us hero-types to try and get along, you know?

Not... that I expect anyone to respond to this with their secret identity, of course. Because that'd be stupid. And if you do that? I'll call you stupid. Just getting that out of the way.

[After a few hours spent as Hoshikyo talking over the journals, she reverts back to her usual self (normalesbian) to go about her day in a far more normal manner, stopping by the library to pick up a few dozen (yes, dozen) books before going shopping for some groceries. It'd be nice if she could just take advantage of the free restaurants here, but having to go outside everytime she wanted to eat? No way. She'd rather just continue her meager existence of living off of instant foods. Just like mom used to make, yep.]

[Despite her earlier countenance over the journals, she is starting to feel a little homesick. And she can't help but wonder what the others back home are up to right now... there's a definite gloomy air hanging over her as she heads back home, several large shopping bags in hand.]

[[ooc: Since a lot of Hoshikyo's canon deals with the idea of fictional worlds being real, please take a look at THIS POST if you are okay/not okay with 4th-Walling! Feel free to post to it even if they've already met, since it'd be pretty easy to handwave her just not recognizing someone right away. Additionally, any character is free to recognize Hoshikyo as though she exists in media within your character's canon, whether as the star of a shoujo manga series, a new brand of Vocaloid, a soft-drink mascot or whatever! My only condition is that recognizing Kari is off-limits.]]

[Hoshikyo... the name sounds really familiar. Didn't Tori or Elise show him a manga series involving a magical girl with that name once? It might have even been Elise's friend Jiro. It probably isn't anything he fret over, though...]

It's nice to meet you, Hoshikyo! My name's Jeb. I'm not a hero or anything, but I just wanted to say that I hope you find people like that around! [Smile! ...why is he still fretting?]

[voice]

[magicalesbian]

[Awww, what a kind girl! And super cute to boot. Clearly Hoshikyo isn't going to mind talking to her!]

[...you know, until she notices she's mistaken.]

Heh. Well, aren't you a sweetheart? Thanks!

But it's not like super heroes are the only people I want to meet! I mean, every girl needs to have friends in a place like this, right?

[voice]

[sketchingideals]

Yes, that's right! I wouldn't mind being your friend. [Smilesmile.]

[Another...Senshi-like girl? From another world? This...one actually looked a little familiar. Probably from one of those manga Usagi enjoyed reading. Rei definitely wasn't about to actually respond to that but she'd make a note for sure.

Later however, while Rei was out and about, she happened to bump into the girl she'd spent some time with in the past, particularly at the Kaidankai. Kari would probably recognize her, though since their last meeting she had gained a mark on her forehead. She waved and approached, but definitely notes the gloom.]

Good afternoon, Kari-san. Would you like some help with your bags?

[Action]

[normalesbian]

[It takes Kari a moment to notice Rei, almost as though she didn't realize Rei was talking to her in the first place. Gloominess aside, spending all that time as Hoshikyo today wore her out a bit.]

...oh. Hi Rei. [She shuffles the bags in her hands for a moment. They were getting a little heavy, but--] Uhm. Are you sure? I mean. They're all kinda heavy...

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

[Rei blinks and shakes her head, holding out her arms]

I don't mind at all. Are...you alright?

[voice]

[godbent]

I'll expect a full report if you meet anyone from a sentai heroes type team!

[voice]

[magicalesbian]

You got it, chief!

Who knows, maybe I'll even find something in a magical girl variety. [Heh.]

[voice]

[godbent]

Yeah, it's definitely possible.

[action]

[savarin]

[And here Red thought taking out five or six books from the library at once was excessive; this girl's got a mountain of them! It's interesting enough to get his attention, so he's just going to try to peek at the covers of her choices while he searches for another book. Don't mind the staring... or mind it a lot, either one.]

[action]

[normalesbian]

[You'd think with all those books, she'd be studying or researching or something... but no. All the books seem to be of no relation to one another, with a few fiction books mixed in with non-fiction (though in a place like Luceti, it was kind of hard to make a distinction).]

[She hasn't noticed his staring yet, but she just keeps on adding books to her collection. It's a wonder her arm hasn't broken under the weight of the bag she has looped around it to hold all of them.]

[action]

[savarin]

[Gosh, she must have insane upper body strength. Red would probably need his robot to carry that many books. He's peering a little closer now, leaning around a corner to observe--]

[--and a book from his stack falls to the floor with a thump.]

F-furballs...! [Okay, just pick up the book and flee, you've been creepy enough already...]

[voice]

[halfnhalf]

[She's a hero? And a magical girl at that? Huh... Well. He could just respond in his regular form and say so, but then he'll probably be called stupid.

So instead, Teddy shifts and changes, becoming the form that he'd use at home to do his hero work. It's not nearly as imperative to hide his identity here, but why not?]

I guess I'm one of those heroes you're looking for. I go by Hulkling back at home.

[voice]

[magicalesbian]

[Staaaaring.]

Hulking, huh? I gotta say, the resemblance is uncanny! So are you, like, the Hulk's illegitimate son or something?

[Yep.]

[voice]

[halfnhalf]

No, I'm not related to him at all. I don't even hulk out or anything.

[... At least, not more than most seventeen year old guys. Heh.]

I mostly took this name because... well, I can turn green. That's about it, really. Oh, and the strength thing.

[Voice]

[daisy023]

Part-time hero? And secret identity?

[having hailed from a military lieftyle, the concept sounds confusing.]

Ma'am? How... does that work?

[Voice] 1/3 YEP.

[magicalesbian]

[.........]

[Is that Magical SPARTAN Senshi Daisy-chan commenting on her entry?]




[Oh God it really is.]

[Voice]

[magicalesbian]

[INTERNAL FANGIRL SIGNALS RINGIN- wait. Why would Daisy-chan be asking about something as basic as secret identities? Isn't that something she should be more than familiar with? You know, being a magical girl and all.]

[Hmmm...]

[Voice]

[magicalesbian]

[Best to approach this with caution! Though it'll be hard to tone down the happy lilt in her voice and the bright smile on her face. Hopefully it'll just pass for her usual bravado.]

You know, like someone who only masquerades as a hero when they're needed! Usually with a fancy costume and an assumed name! I mean, super heroes have their own personal lives too, right? If everyone knew they were a hero, then they'd always be on their guard!

voice;

[menial]

Maybe you could get in contact with the "Milk Maid." Mysterious heroine that she was.

voice;

[magicalesbian]

...the "Milk Maid," huh?

[voice]

[neverplaysfair]

I have a secret identity who saves the world from time to time, hee hee.

[ This is waaay more true than the joking tone suggests. ]

[voice]

[magicalesbian]

[Unfortunately:]

Look, what you are your boyfriend role play in the bedroom in your spare time is your business, but I'm trying to get in touch with the real-deals here.

[voice]

[blessingone]

Like...really a magical girl?

[If she sounds like she is doubtful, it's probably because she's heard the term but was preeeeetty sure it was applied to fictional characters.]

[voice]

[magicalesbian]

Like, really really! I have a transformation sequence and everything! [...] It happens faster than it does in anime though.
