#Witch of Defiance (Mariko)

[transformedwithgrief]

"I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Hope everyone's had a fantastic year!"

"Meh..."

"Oh come now! Don't be like that. Why not join Mariko in the festivities?"

"Maybe later."

[transformedwithgrief]

Who would you rather face against, Walpurgisnacht or Kriemhild Gretchen?

"NEITHER! Fighting either one is suicide! I mean, I'll fight either one if I'm all out of options, but I'd rather not!"

[transformedwithgrief]

"Wait, we have our own day?"

"Yeah? Why?"

"Why did no one tell me!?"

"I dunno. Maybe it's because you're a witch and not a magical girl?"

"Not funny..."

[transformedwithgrief]

A witch but it looks like a biblically accurate angel.

"Don't a lot of witches look like biblically accurate angels?"

[transformedwithgrief]

[Text]: Probably not the best idea tbh. Speaking from experience. [Text]: At least let me see it. Maybe it's something I already learned.

Mariko was pretty adamant on helping, even if the other student wanted to avoid it. Science and math were where she struggled the most, but she always strived to get the highest grade possible no matter what subject. Of course, stressing herself out like this was what led Kyubey to her in the first place. Maybe the idea of studying was stressing this Usagi out. Maybe she should change the subject.

[Text]: What's your favorite parfait?

She doesn't respond for a few minutes. She's busy racking her brain for a way out of this because that was not the solution to her problem that she wanted. If she wanted help, she would have gone to Ami.

Although on second thought, Ami's explanations were always too complicated for Usagi to understand. Maybe this Mariko person would be a better tutor... No, no, she could still get out of this!

[Text]: oh it's okay! you don't have to help! [Text]: I'll scrape by somehow, I always do! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

"I swear, this better just be a story and not alluding to something in the future..."

[transformedwithgrief]

What were your last words?

[transformedwithgrief]

How pure are you?

“I mean... Technically the truth...? Wrath is a sin, right?”

[transformedwithgrief]

A long time ago, did this used to be a witch only blog with a witch that was stockpiling grief seeds and giving them to magical girls, or am I confusing it with another blog?

"Hi. I think you're referring to me, right?"

[transformedwithgrief]

Continued from here.

"Yeah, I'm fine... Just... remembering why I fight. And I won't rest until I see my goal to the end..."

[transformedwithgrief]

Mariko, meeting a dragon witch, but this one has five heads and can breath fire, ice, lightning, poison, and acid.

"I guess I'm not the only dragon here!"

[transformedwithgrief]

Meanwhile with the foreign exchange magical girl. “America! F*** yeah!”

"Uhhhh... Nani...?"

"Gaijin..."

[transformedwithgrief]

Mariko, what do you think of the witch of salvation? Is she redeemable? Is she some unstoppable monster? Does she need to be redeemed?

"Gretchen Kriemhild? She's immensely powerful... I don't know if she's unstoppable or irredeemable, but one thing's for certain. She needs to be redeemed. But if that can't be done, then... Well, we'll need more than just hope to bring her down."

[transformedwithgrief]

"Tsubasa? You look a little on edge... Is something wrong?"

[transformedwithgrief]

"You don't need to worry about that. I'm at least open about my issues with my friends. And I'm very thankful for them."

"That's why you should talk it out with your friends. Keeping it inside isn't healthy."

(Mika) “ I’m starting to feel like this whole magical girl thing’s a sham… “

Considering she’s been missing out on so many things she’s wanted to be a part of because of her duties, she’s really beginning to wonder how anyone found this job beneficial to themselves.

"It pretty much is. There's a lot of things he doesn't tell you when you sign on. I don't recommend it, but if you're still considering it, I'll tell you everything in the 'fine print'."
