The nights in Miso City were always abnormally cold. Be it the high-strung spades of summer glade that up the region in storm, or the blatant [url=https://s15.postimg.cc/ie22c47dn/tumblr_static_1dt81cug1fggs0so00w8gg0k0-800x500.jpg]winter[/url] currently hanging over the populace, Miso City’s nights were chilly. It was strange, to say the least; how could a place with such happy abundance and buzzing spirits always bring iced breaths when the sun set? For most of the citizens, it could be chalked up to just another one of Miso City’s strange charms. It was why many chose to stay living in the place, despite all the weird happenings. 

But to those few others, those few gifted with magic, there was reasoning to this carefree madness. Magical Girls roamed Miso City like a flock to the herd, invisible to the public eye. Most had lived in the city for the entirety of their lives, barring a few exceptions. To defend their territory, to protect and uphold their duty…it was no doubt a sense of obligation that spurred them from the shadows. It had to be; certainly, it couldn’t be the upheld ideals they once followed.

Even now, the night air stirred with the stench of darkness. High, high upon the rooftops of Miso City, bounding shadows leapt from surface to surface, building to building. The lingering flakes of ice drooping from the crisp sky bristled as they flitted past, the people below ignorant as always.

And tonight brought forth a horde of them, all shifting among the rooftops like wriggling black maggots.

It was only by the soft rumblings of an animal that ceased their inhuman movements. As if one collective being, all of them swiveled this way and that until pointing their masked visages towards the farthest ledge. The rumbling was a purr, and the purr belonged to a rather odd-looking cat. Its tail curled gently around its dark paws, the [url=https://i.imgur.com/MRNRBPS.gif]Mascot[/url] regarded them with only a large [b]:3[/b] icon flashing across its screened face.

The lingering moment of confusion was to be the signal for whoever tagged along to get in the first shot. Because in Miso City, the days were bright, and the nights were cold. And those sworn to protect its inhabitants, those who were destined to become Magical Girls, were said to be colder than the Nightmares. Praying for their sorrows to end, hoping for their hearts to blend. That’s what it meant to be a Dark Magical Girl.
