[Here is a magical girl flavored post with magical girl flavored prompts, starring--]
a. the stupidest prompt I could think of
[The scene is a restaurant--a cozy cafe, not too high end, but nice enough. Maybe you're working there. Maybe you're just trying to order your damn coffee. Either way, one second you're peacefully chilling near the counter or behind the counter, and the next there's a girl in a school uniform climbing on top of it on her hands and knees, reaching for something that seems to have fallen between two of the coffee machines.
She...pauses when your eyes meet.
And ever-so-politely:]
Pardon me.
[But she's not climbing down.
THIS IS A CAFE, LOSER.]
b. the one with a cat
[Sometimes, alley cats are very feral and scared of humans--but that is not at all the case for this one. This little black and white adventurous soul is very eager and willing to tumble forward, meowing loudly and begging for scraps. Clearly he's seen humans before and has been treated kindly.
Konoha, however, is frozen solid, staring at the kitten blocking her path. It's pretty comical, really. She doesn't necessarily look scared, but she does look like she's not entirely sure what to do.
Konoha.exe has shorted out, apparently, and is not sure how to deal with this demanding kitten who is blocking her path.
Aaaaah???]
c. the obligatory fight scene
[It's really impossible to say how you got there. One second you're wandering about, minding your own business, and the next! You're in a labyrinth. It has a particular vibe to it, with little assholes that are going to chase you around and try to kill you.
Possibly by ripping your arms off and/or stabbing you. What fun!
The labyrinth is disorienting, and seems to go in circles and circles, and then--
There's a girl dressed in ridiculous clothing in front of you, slicing away a familiar with a butterfly edged spear.
...]
What are you doing here? [wow, ice cold]
d. the "why is this happening" scene
[One second you're safely wandering the grocery store, the next AN ENTIRE TOWER OF APPLES is falling down from the apple stand your way.
WHAT DO YOU DO.]
e. or make up your own and hit me with it, i'm super open to anything

[The answer for Aisaku was very simple. Did he ever need a reason to help someone who was in need? It's not like Konoha was murdering people in front of his eyes. She was helping the city which was more than enough for him. So he whips his finger at her face and says very loudly-]
IT'S BECAUSE I LIKE YOU!
[As a person, he means. But since this is Aisaku, it comes out like that without him even thinking more deeply about it. If Serika were here, she would be doing a very hilarious spit take.]
[1/???]
He whips a finger into her face and yells loudly enough that her immediate reaction is to snap back, puffing up like an angry cat.]
You--!
no subject
Her expression crumbles immediately from irritation to... confusion. Puzzlement. And... a bit of shock and embarrassment slowly seeping in.
He said that, didn't he?
He really said it.
He said--]
no subject
like.
like.
like
like]
ok done
How is anyone?]
T-that isn't-- What are you--
You are... absolutely incomprehensible...!!
no subject
[Wait a second. Aisaku takes a second to back track... Oh. That did come out strange. He should try and smooth things out!]
H-Hold on! What I meant to say was that... I like you for who you are!
[That makes much more sense, right?! RIGHT?!]
no subject
That makes it even worse--!
[She turns away immediately, though it's more to hide the red in his face than anything.
Aaaaaaaaah.]
no subject
[Aisaku hesitates for a moment as he looks down into his empty hand. There were more enemies out there asides the Schatten... How many people have been lost to those monsters? He still remembers the warmth of Ryouhei's hand and Keziah's hand before they both died.
Now that he had gotten a taste of despair, he didn't want anyone else to experience the same horrors that he did. Could he call himself a hero? No, there were plenty out there who were more deserving of that title... But if he had the power to do something now, then he wasn't going to sit back and watch anymore.]
And you're a lot smarter than I am when it comes to fighting those things. I know this shit ain't a game and people can die. But I just... I don't want to lose anyone else important to me.
no subject
She's never been described that way before, and despite herself, her breath catches a little--and then she shakes herself, looking away to hide the flush on her face. All of this is just... just too embarrassing...!!
... Still, then his tone grows more serious.]
... Listen. You... you need to watch the way you state things.
But if you truly are concerned about fighting witches, then... that much, I understand. You could say that I--I have no choice but to fight them. So I will continue to do so, to protect everyone.
no subject
[Aisaku said that he'd try, yet he didn't really understand what she meant by that! It was like telling a dog not to do something, but you know that they're going to do it again eventually. One of his best qualities was being empathetic enough to understand when someone's mood was changing (most of the time), so he's at least able to read that from her tone alone.]
Well, I guess we're in the same boat. The enemies that I gotta fight are like those witch things... I deal with creatures that come out from people's hearts. They're literally shadows... Or we like to call 'em Schatten.
[Zelraiders and Schatten were two sides of the same coin. The only difference was that he was able to keep his sense of self and they weren't.]
no subject
... shadows...]
That doesn't sound entirely the same, but... there are too many similarities to feel comfortable, too.
[She purses her lips.]
It must be dangerous--right?
no subject
[They haven't reached a point where they could just project their own dimensions yet. But that time could come upon them someday... One of the scariest things about the Schatten was that they were unpredictable and learned like humans did. Sometimes, Aisaku felt like he was living out a creepy sci-fi movie.]
That's why I believe that human bonds are really damn important. I know it sounds really cheesy, but it's that power that can help us fight against those things.
no subject
It sounds very cheesy. I don't see how bonds are supposed to help with that sort of thing at all.
The only thing you can really count on is your own strength.
