The continuation of this journal is at the DW Adstring community, under the "Sakura Kyoko" tag with the username Selfishness. :3

[Kyoko is running, running too fast to see her surroundings. She's panting, and the PCD screen shakes as she strides.]

Mami! Yuma! We have to get ready, if that dream-seeing guy is right! 

[She stops. What is she running for? She looks panicked, regardless. She doesn't know why she's so anxious, but suddenly a wave of panic just hit her, and it shows.]

There's a something bad coming, and I think it's a Walpurgis-

[And then suddenly, she freezes. Her entire body stops, breathing included as she drops the PCD on the ground. It shows nothing but the sky-]

[And a horrible, bloodcurdling scream erupts from the offscreen Kyoko, followed by the sound of shattering.]

[The area explodes with light and the howls and screams of unearthly creatures, magical energy filling the entire Southeastern quarter, and only huge, black symbols appearing in the sky can be seen before the screen shuts off.] 

[For a moment, it’s just Mami’s face on the PCD screen, grinning in a very unusual fashion for her. She looks cocky, almost.]

Hey, Adstringendum!

[Her words are much more forceful and confident than usual as well. Odd.]

I just wanna let you know that I’m not going to make tea and cake for you guys anymore, ok? Ms. Nice Mami is gone! I’ve grown out of that. You better get beggin’ if you want some!

[Oh, Mami will be so embarrassed. Why hadn’t Kyoko thought of this prank before? Diabolical, isn’t she.]

So, yeah! Better get used to it! ‘specially you, Beat!

[She tosses a beautiful gem up and down- and it’s at this point that she realizes it’s red and everyone can see it.]

….Crap.

[Suddenly, the door slams dramatically open!! And Kyoko--wait, no that can’t be Kyoko, right? Rubbing her teary face with one hand and wailing her own name like a kid?]

Kyokoooo, something’s wrong! Yuma didn’t mean to steal your body! It was an accident!

[She looks around, and if you look closely, you can see a blue gem in her hand.]

Mami-oneechan, where did Kyoko go?!

[The feed clicks off.]

[ooc: the magical girls swapped bodies! You could get tags from all of them. C:]

[In a large contrast to her last appearance, Kyoko looks marginally happier with the scene around her. She's smack dab in the middle of the festival, holding a large bowl of udon topped with scallions. Wearing a (surprisingly pretty) kimino with a cherry blossom print, she grins as she stares straight into the camera.]

Hey, all you newbies- it ain't always this nice. Enjoy it while you can, and don't let me catch you wasting anything.

[Slurrrp. She takes an overly large bite of noodles.]

Mami, Yuma. New year's coming and I don't know how long this is gonna be up. Wanna celebrate early?

[Her grin gets wider.]

I'm sure we can steal some fireworks.



[ooc: custom comment page is turned on.]

[The PCD has been dropped on the floor, and is at such an angle that it broadcasts a view of an entire room, an empty one, save for  Kyoko in the middle. Her back is turned, and at her side she clutches a glowing jewel in her hand, her shoulders shake slightly.]

.... Goddammit.

[She's quite for a few more moments, a few more ragged breaths, a few more shakes of her shoulders.]

GODDAMMIT!

[A bright flash of light comes from the gem, and a spear is produced from it. In a single motion, Kyoko readies the spear to go straight through the thin wall of the house-]

[Before she drops it, and it clatters to the ground. Still clutching that gem, almost as if she wants to break it, her breath catches and the feed turns off.]

[ooc: tags will be slow!]

[Kyoko looks a bit strange- halfway between mischievous and even a bit... flustered, maybe? Embarrassed, perhaps, but that side of her expression quickly fades away as she begins to speak.]

Hey, you, did you hear about Mami? She got asked out on a date! Don't know the guy, but whatever, this has to be fun to watch.

So, what I want to ask you is...

...

[And then the unusual expression for Kyoko returns.]

Wanna come to that prom thing with me?

[A long, long pause.]

....Just to spy on her and to make sure that guy ain't a creep! Don't get any ideas, okay? Keep that simple mind of yours clear! I'm your senior- you better listen to me, kid.

[She again tries to cover it up with a grin, but it isn't so successful this time.]

[And the feed is turned off, Kyoko left completely unaware that everyone could see it.]

[At first, all that is seen is an abandoned building, seemingly in the North Eastern section of the city. On the wall, there is  a strange, glowing portal of sorts, emanating with light piercing the fog that couldn't be anything natural. The camera is pulled away to show Kyoko in her magical girl outfit, looking more serious than she ever has before. She has her spear out, waiting.]

A witch has hatched over here. I don't know how many people are here already, but I don't need any more dumbasses getting trapped. Stay away if you don't want to start killin' yourself. 

[She scoffs.]

Tch. What kinda idiot would leave a grief seed here?

[She scowls, tapping her foot a bit.]

Mami. Yuma. Sayaka. Get over here. 

[Her frown turns into a brief smirk as she grins with almost excitement.]

You haven't gotten rusty, have ya?

[The camera clicks on to show nothing but apples, apples upon apples sorted into piles. A girl, long red hair tied up in a ponytail, paces, stomping with each of her steps.]

The damn animus...making me like that...a goddamn weak-

[Her words are drowned in a growl.]

And then they tricked her too, goddamn it! Those bitches tricked her somehow, I know it! 

[She picks up an apple quickly. Juice dribbles down the side of her hand as her fingernails bite into the red skin. Pausing for a moment to stare intently at it.]

It's just like back then, believing in that shit. That somethin' would just take it away and everyone could be happy. She's acting like him.

[A scowl plasters her face as she bites into it angrily.]

No matter what, I could've found a way to do it myself, without them helping! They're the same as that rat bastard. I would've found a way. We're not going to....I'm not going to...

I'm never becoming that! I'm not gonna freaking let it happen! I'm not turning into one of them!

[Again her words are lost as she consumes the apple, the space between bites becoming smaller. She's tearing into the fruit, stripping every last piece of flesh  from it before tossing the core at the wall and picking up another  yet one. She bites and tears at them as a wild, rabid animal would, finishing one and moving on immediately to the next, never pausing, never taking a second to calm down her frantic breathing.]

[Eventually, the feed turns to black as apples collapse onto the screen, obscuring the view entirely.]
