[backdated to Wednesday]

Um, if Celes-chan is out there listening.... err, Celestia Ludenberg that is... I talked to my friend, and she convinced me that maybe the two of us setting out on our own isn't the best course of action. We've decided to look around and see what we can't find out, and I was wondering... could you tell me a bit about your crew?

Like I said, it's not a commitment or anything, but I just wanted to see what you guys had to offer...

Um, the same goes for someone by the name of Lady Maribelle... I spoke to your friend Kyouya-kun, and I wanted to know if I could talk to you about what your crew is all about as well. Again, I'm Aida Mana, and I hope this isn't an imposition...

... I don't mean to preach, but... just because something is easier doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

... and I see. I apologize for prying.

Just because something seems like the right thing to do doesn't mean it is. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, remember that. It's all well and good to risk your own life for a good cause, but to risk the lives of so many others? Don't you think that's a bit selfish?

... I see your point. But... it also seems selfish to prey on good people for one's own survival...

... I suppose there's no easy solutions in this kind of situation, is there?

Life is never so easy. But trust me, this situation is nothing compared to what you could be dealing with.

... I've seen hardship, but only from the outside looking in. You're right. You've given me a lot to think about, Celes-chan.

Take your time thinking it over, but try not to take too long. Those pitchforks don't sound very appealing.

Pitchforks? What do you mean?

Didn't you hear Scurvey Dog's announcement? The locals don't want us here.

Oh... well, we won't tempt fate, then. If things get too tough, we'll find some way of dealing with it.

... I should note... Rikka and I talked about it, and... well. We decided there was no point to keeping it under wraps. That secret I told you about when we first spoke?

I'm not exactly helpless. I have... this ability, to become what's known as a Precure. It's something like a magical girl, if you know what that is...

[...]

You become a magical girl.

[That's not even a question, she's just repeating it because she's having a hard time processing it.]

Yes... I can prove it for you, if you like?

...why not. Where should we meet?

Probably someplace discreet. Do you have a room of your own, Celes-chan?

I do, actually. Meet me near the fountain and I'll take you there.

Alright. I'll be there.

----

[and when Celes arrives, she'll find Mana there in short order, waiting]

[When Celes arrives, she's quite pleased to see the girl is already there. She does so hate to be kept waiting. Of course, there IS a chance this might not be her, so...]

Aida-san?

[Mana looks up with a start, and smiles]

Celes-chan! Wow, it's nice to finally meet you!

[She smiles brightly, doing her trademark pose complete with tilted head and steepled hands.]

Likewise! But we should probably get a move on; we can talk on the way there.

Of course. Lead the way, Celes-chan!

[inwardly? Mana is raving about how cute Celes looks. Some things never change]

As you wish.

[And off she goes, heading for the inn. Normally, Celes would be a bit surprised at Aida-san's age, but most of the members of quite young themselves so that is not the case.

...besides, she's quite cute, and cuteness would cause their opponents to underestimate them. A grave mistake on their part, but one she would fully abuse.]

So, what do you wish to talk about? Admittedly we're still a way's off.

[Mana smiled nervously]

... well, I'd like to know more about you if I can, Celes-chan... if that's alright. I don't need to know about your dream or anything, but... I wouldn't mind knowing you a little better?

Fair enough. What do you wish to know?

[Not that she agrees to be 100% honest.]

Well... what's your family like, for starters? And where did you go to school?

Ah...those are rather simple questions, hmmm? I suppose I can answer them. My father is a French aristocrat, while my mother is a German musician. We don't get to talk very often, as we're all very busy with our own affairs, but they are as you would expect. As for my school, currently I am enrolled at Hope's Peak Academy. Or rather, I was before coming here.

I see... my parents own a restaurant. My dad inherited it from my grandpa... he was sort of his student before he took over when grandpa retired. Mom grew up there, of course, so she kept working there as well...!
