[h1]Sugano Chinami[/h1]

Chinami stared blankly for a moment. Was it always this easy? She had expected Vices to be terrifying monsters! She found the truth, somehow, disappointing. Still, the reality of the situation dazed her for a moment. She was really a Magical Girl. She [i]was[/i] out here fighting monsters, even if those monsters were slightly less terrifying than expected.

In her deep, blank-faced contemplation, Chinami almost didn’t notice that the other Magical Girl was talking to her. This changed dramatically, however, when the white-haired girl pointed her finger in her face, exclaiming with a seemingly endless supply of energy. Chinami looked utterly surprised, raising her hands in surrender.

“I… um… I’m sorry, I just didn’t expect it to just, you know, stand there… I really wasn’t trying to take it from you or anything, honest, really it was kind of an accident, I’m pretty new at this whole thing and uh-”[/color]

Suddenly, the white-haired girl’s demeanor changed. Chinami was thankful that she wasn’t being accused, but was a bit outmaneuvered by the girl’s level of energy. Nodding and smiling a small, confused smile, Chinami nodded along, doing her best to keep up. 

[color=bc8dbf]“Oh, yes, I’m a Magic-”[/color]

The girl, who introduced herself as Kyouko Hiruma, had clearly perfected the art of an introduction. Chinami was stunned, and, truthfully, somewhat envious. She reached her hand out from beneath her floppy sleeve with a wide, warm smile. 

[color=bc8dbf]“I’m glad to meet you Kyouko! My name is Chinami! Sugano Chinami! I’m really lucky to have run into you. Like I said, I’m still really new to this whole Magical Girl thing, and I don’t think I [i]get[/i] it all yet, but you seem to be a natural!”[/color]

Chinami beamed as her fishy accomplices swished through the air behind her.

A glint caught Chinami’s eye. She pointed a finger toward the magical crystal fragment lying where the Vice had been. 

[color=bc8dbf]“Am um, am I supposed to take that?”[/color]
