Support 4: Does she need to get a new job now? [Video/Action]

[The feed flicks on showing a girl with short hair looking quite sheepish.]

So um, I'm back? Hi? Geeze, I didn't even realize I was gone until I woke up in my dorm room this morning. And it was really just a week too, that feels a little pointless, don't you think?

Does this happen often to others? They get to go home for a few days and then come back here?

Sakurako? V/V? Were things okay while I was gone? I didn't miss too many practices did I?

[Someone might want to fill her in on the actual extent of her disappearance...]

[Action]

[So later in the day, after Madoka has been filled in on a few things, she decides to check out the place she had a job at before her unexpected 'vacation.'

She enters the Maid Cafe fully expecting to be fired, or at least glared at angrily by the owner. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. That butler outfit was pretty uncomfortable for her.

Except the owner is all smiles at her.]

"Madoka! You're back early! How are your folks in Japan? Doing better?"

Wait, what? I wasn't in-

"Actually, if you've got the evening free, you could get back to work right away, someone called out sick so we're short-handed."

[And before she could protest, Madoka is shoved into the back, only to appear later waiting tables once more. Yep, the more things change, the more things like to make Madoka uncomfortable...]

KUGIMI!

[kugimin]

[Madoka flinches at the nickname, but is more glad to see her friend to really complain, a smile quickly appearing on her face.]

SAKURAKO! How are you! I didn't miss much, did I?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Nah, not much. I just got back not too long ago myself.

[kugimin]

Oh wow, really?! Doesn't it feel weird that they only let us back home for a couple of days before dragging us back here, though?

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

I guess so, yeah, but that's just how things work around here!

I....I don't know where this is coming from.

[kugimin]

Well that's just annoying! I mean, they should give us a heads up or something!

Or better yet, let us plan when it happens like vacation time! I mean, come on, we're fighting Shadows, they could let us schedule this occasionally, right?!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Heroes of destiny are called when fate demands it, Kugimi!

[Action]

[unknownrival]

Welcome back. They're like that with disappearances.

[kugimin]

[Madoka is tugging at the outfit a bit.]

Really? That's a bit strange, if you ask me...

So, um, how have you been holding down the fort?

[unknownrival]

Decently. I was gone for a while as well, but they accepted me back without complaint.

[kugimin]

Well, I guess considering how crazy it sounds to try and explain where we were or what this place might be to us, I guess them having no complaints might be for the best...

[unknownrival]

Probably. Even if being fired might not be so bad.

[kugimin]

Yeah, I was thinking just that, but then I'd have to find another part-time job again...

[heavenscorpse]

Hiiiii.

[kugimin]

[Another friend! Hurray!]

V/V! How are you?!

[heavenscorpse]

I'm alright. It's good to see you again!

[kugimin]

Same here! Anything interesting happened while I was gone?

[heavenscorpse]

Well, I was gone a long time too, so I don't know.

[kugimin]

Oh, you too? Did you get to see your friends as well then?

[antiviolence]

Another one?

[So uninterested it's bad.]

[kugimin]

[What? Who's this jerk? Madoka's not looking happy at their disinterest...]

"Another one?" Just what the heck is that suppose to me?

[antiviolence]

Yeah, yeah, sorry. [Just listen to his tone. So honest. Except lolno.]

've been here before?

[kugimin]

Well yeah, for at least a few months even. Made some friends, kicked some shadows' butts, you know, the usual awesome stuff like that.

What about you? What have you accomplished?

[antiviolence]

Nothing much.

[Hello, I am such a chatter.]

[kugimin]

Oh, I see. So you're one of those slacker types who try to mask it with aloofness, hoping it makes you seem cool or something!
