At first, there is nothing.

And then there’s a voice, saying:

I need your help.

… look, I don’t have time to explain. Hold this.

And something, ready or not, is thrust into your hand. Maybe it’s a pen, or a brooch, or a watch or a phone, or anything at all so long as it’s small enough to hold, and looks too important to lose.

Maybe you try to object, but a small, winged creature wreathed in iridescent sparkles darts into your view, and clasps your hands, and curls your fingers tight about the object in them.

You’re just, the creature says, going to have to trust me. Now: raise your hand, and say:

Power of a Dreaming Star – Metamorphose!!

Maybe you know these tropes, or maybe you don’t.
Maybe you’re about to protest that no, you couldn’t possibly, this is ridiculous and you’ve got the wrong person—

But you can’t resist the call. Nobody ever can.

And then?

Then? It’s not dark any more.

And an awful lot seems to be happening at once.

...........magical girls?

... yeah, this wasn't really my idea. We've all got to work with what we're given, right?

[ also she's in this outfit. ]

At least the skirt's not too short. I'm too old for miniskirts.

However, if you would: elucidate on the nature of the problem, and the source.

Ah. Okay. Well, the problem is these flowers started showing up... and the only thing that'll get rid of them is shining light on them, but - well, you can see it's dark here, too. So I guess we need teenagers with attitude to help fix things up.

...I'm a hundred and sixty-seven and I don't look a day under thirty, so I admit I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do, then.

Yeah, in actuality we're not being that picky. If you're standing upright and look like you can help, that'll do.

I see. What happens when we finish?

Well, at this stage I'm hoping she'll wake up. The others actually made really good progress. But we're not quite there yet.

"She" who?

Wednesday. This is her - heart, I think the others said? Or some kind of world based on it. So of course she picked magical girls for this.

...the teenage girl on pep?

[ what would her heart be like

wild to think about. ]

In that case, then, I'll do my best to assist.

That's her... you don't know her?

In passing—I wouldn't say I really know her well at all.

Huh. That's funny. It's mostly been people who know her up till now. Well - maybe you'll be able to look at it all differently, then?

[ she shrugs. ]

I like to think I bring a unique perspective to all situations.

In that case, which of these items do you think will serve me best?

Hmm... when, what do you think your strengths are?

The scanner helps suss out danger. If there's something close by that's gonna try to attack, it'll tell you. It's also good for finding hidden objects, if there are any of those. The hourglass turns back time, just for a little, so if you get into a pinch and you're really stuck, you can go back a few seconds and try again. The lantern will light your way to the active trouble spots. The stuff in this bottle will heal you, if you're hurt. And this one's basically a smoke bomb.

Well—I'll try the hourglass, let's say.

[You take the Astrologer's Glass: a finely-wrought golden hourglass full of shimmering, pink-white sand, suspended on a golden chain that can be worn about the waist. When the hourglass is turned and the sands are flowing, the bearer can briefly reverse the flow of time.

[Once per room, players holding the Astrologer’s Glass can reroll any one action. The result of the second roll must be accepted even if it is worse.]

[ nice. ]

In that case, we should set out as soon as possible, then, should we not?

Ah, yeah...

Your best bet is to start on the roof. Doesn't matter which way you go from there - you should be able to find something. But you can always call me, if you get stuck.

Noted. I'll take a look, then.

[roof, yes]
