[ This video feed clicks on during the night, the sounds of the bustling city heard as ambiance in the background. She's up high seemingly, possibly on a roof judging from the angle of the buildings behind her. One hand is clearly holding the phone, shaky camera syndrome being played up to the max and the other is holding onto a half-bitten into candy bar.

Why yes, she's in the middle of eating, cheeks all puffed up with probably a previous candy bar. She's even going to go beyond that by speaking with her mouth ful. ]

Fe fone if fiffy. [ What? A loud gulp as she swallows most of it. ] Hey, so I don't know how these stupid things work, but I never got Sayaka's phone number in the first place, so calling her is kinda pointless. This seems to be something kinda global though, so listen up. I'm looking for you, Sayaka, and I'm not gonna stop until I find you. We're suppose to do this together, so don't go off leaving me now.

[ Frenetically biting into the candy bar again. At least this is a manageable bite as she's still capable of being understood. ]

So what's up? My name is Kyouko and I guess I'm this town's latest hero. I'm sort of a big deal back home, so don't all introduce yourselves to me at once.

It takes some guts to declare yourself a hero out of the blue like that.

Besides, if this isn't "back home", aren't you wondering how you got here?

[also video forever hi i am as lazy as kyouko]

[rites.livejournal.com]

Yea, guts is something I've got a ton of. Like I said, I was a hero back home, so why wouldn't I just be one here? Persona and all that, can't be as rough as fighting witches and familiars.

[ The girl scoffs. ]

I know how I got here. I wasn't going to let Sayaka go alone, so that's why I'm here. There's no other explanation for it.

[soulsborderline.livejournal.com]

Hmph. Witches, huh?

[She leaves it at a simple question since she realizes that fighting Angels can't sound any less silly to people who'd never seen one.]

I don't know any Sayaka, but I might've missed her.

[rites.livejournal.com]

Yea witches. That's what I said, wasn't it? You're about the age of a Puella Magi too.

[ A tiny hmph.

Potential rival: yes. ]

Hey if you see a stupid white creature with red eyes around, kick it around some. It'll be better than any stupid wish he can give you, 'kay?

[ Might have missed Sayaka? Ruuuude. ]

I doubt you woulda missed her if you saw her. Blue hair, kind of runs around getting herself into stupid trouble.

Puella Mag...?

You know what I'm going to save you all the trouble the plebeians here gave me and just accept that you have some kind of superpower and fight monsters. Right?

[rites.livejournal.com]

Yea, that's the gist of it. I don't care if people here believe me or not. Wha, do you do the same kinda crap too?

[soulsborderline.livejournal.com]

Replace superpower with giant cyborg and "Witch" with "Angel" and I bet we've got pretty similar jobs.

In fact, if I'm right and we're in another dimension entirely, we could even be alternate versions of each other!

Well, if I'd never discovered conditioner or manners or diction, I mean.

[rites.livejournal.com]

'kay so you're saying you beat up giant cyborgs called angels? Sounds kinda neat if you ask me and no one here actually believes that? Well, they can piss off for all I care. So tell me about these angels. Are they like from heaven or something?

[ Alternate version - do things like that really exist? Wait a second, that's an insult. Oh you did not just go there, alternate "me"! ]

Hey, I got manners and I know how to take care of my hair. I just don't care to use either!

[soulsborderline.livejournal.com]

Well that would explain things.

Anyway, the short version is that Angels are some kind of dimensional monster and I pilot a giant cybernetic machine called an Evangelion to fight them. Saving the world and all that TV drama stuff.
