POTS TSAL ♞ FFATS HTFIF
Characters: Sayaka Miki, anyone who was interested in a Witch's Kiss, and the Nuke Squad.
Setting: Floor 28, and on the way to.
Format: Any is fine, but I prefer prose.
Summary: My wish is somewhere not here.
Warning: Spoilers for Puella Magi Madoka Magica, death.
On the path to Floor 28.
Sayaka has become despondent, over this last week (well, eight days, to be more specific). It felt like all her feelings fell away, one by one, watching the battles in the labyrinth - only a few days in, she'd lost all will to pay attention to it at all, and stopped making appearances in places she would normally be found in.
Anyone who's attentively lived through the start of this month, on either side of events, wouldn't be surprised by this in the least. But it's over now, right? So why does this girl look just as hopeless as if the worst was still to come? She's shuffling relentlessly forward, with some sort of purpose - but it doesn't look like a happy one.
Floor 28.
There's something different about this floor today. Something on a more unsettling, dangerous caliber than the usual fare - it's the tower, after all. It's never safe. But this is on a whole different level.
The air feels heavier. 'Humid' might be the correct descriptor, though that makes no sense - there's no water significant enough on this floor to cause an atmosphere like that. A close look would reveal that it's the truth, though - on some of the instruments, a bit of condensation has appeared. It's more obvious in a specific part of the floor - and anyone who can significantly sense magic will have been drawn there, anyway.
Because here, in the strings section, where a song gently waves through the air - there resides a Witch.

"...hey, Jin. I thought about what you said a lot."
Her voice is flat and dull, but the sound is oddly familiar - just like the time that they first talked, actually.
no subject
"...What about it?"
no subject
She pauses, like the because is unfathomable, or impossible to word - then launches into the dry voice again.
"..A couple times, I saw a dream of a me that could really live like that - just going with every day without regards to feelings in the past. She seemed really happy, and I might have envied her, a little. But for some reason, she seemed really terrible."
no subject
"What's so terrible about it?! You're dwelling on this stupid shit again-- snap out of it, you dumbass!" Otherwise, she'd turn into a witch wouldn't she?
delicious dipping dots
The anger in his voice seems to bring Sayaka a bit more into focus - then she folds her arms over her chest, and stops meeting his eyes.
"I feel like something different's going to happen today, though. Maybe once I hit bottom, it just loops back over to the beginning. Like a counter rolling over."
She starts walking again, slow, for the first few steps -
"..Before that, there's somewhere I have to go."
Then she's off at a startling pace for someone who was so lethargic just a sentence ago.
he is not a KH character ice cream is lame
For a minute, Jin was torn. He didn't really want to go after her and fight some stupid witch after he'd just gotten out of that damn place and all he wanted to do was make sure the others were here and OK and maybe punch Shinjiro but--
He ran his hands through his hair (weird, he was almost acclimated to having pricks and tubes in them, or only having one available) in frustration, stepped back into his room to grab his briefcase, and ran off after her.
