[ the video feed flicks on, to show a girl sitting on a field of grass next to a crystal-clear lake; she's wearing a strange outfit .
you can see she's smiling calmly, but it's obvious that she's a bit distressed. behind her, you can see a floating mountain. ]

Excuse me, but would someone be kind enough to tell me where I am exactly? Any help would

Mami-chan? Is that really you?

[THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.]

[shootermagica]

[ oh. sup Madoka. ]

Of course it is, Kaname-san. We were just together only a moment ago...

( video )

[helpfulmagica]

[ASDF WHAT. That's not true.

Madoka feels unsure about something, but for now she's happy Mami is safe.]

Why are you saying that? We're in a completely different world now. I was so scared, I never thought I'd see you again!

( video )

[shootermagica]

Are we now? So this isn't that witch's realm, is it... something must have happened while I was fighting.

[ the last thing she remembers is seeing this lovely face. ]

Well i'm here now, so you don't have to worry. Has Miki-san come here as well?

[clonezart]

This place is called Somarium.

[shootermagica]

[ way to be helpful bro. ]

Could you possibly elaborate a bit more...?

[clonezart]

[Any time, bro.]

It's not the world you know.

[shootermagica]

I could gather that from my surroundings... could I bother you to keep elaborating?

[Chokes on cigarette smoke]

What the hell are you wearing?

( video )

[shootermagica]

[ ...welp. she's still wearing her Puella Magi outfit. in a flurry of yellow sparkles, that quickly changes into her school uniform. ]

I'm sorry. You were saying?

( video )

[stickinmypants]

[Shock. The cigarette sags on his lower lip]

The hell...?

[shootermagica]

[ time to play dumb and hide the identity...! ]

Is something the matter? You don't look well.

[Was that Mami? Really? Sayaka was surprised, since as far as she could remember, Mami was---

Wait, no. Sayaka was in the same situation, and should have remembered the strange nature of this place. The dead can walk here.]

[handfulmagica]

[Sayaka plasters on a cheerful smile as she turns on the video feed to reply to her message. Madoka had believed that Sayaka has not become a magical girl yet, so she needed to prevent Mami from knowing as well.]

Ahahaha! Nice to see you here, Mami-san. By the way, you might want to change back since this isn't a witch's realm.

( video )

[shootermagica]

Ah-! It's good to see you as well, Miki-san. Kaname-san informed me that you were here as well.

[ she looks around ] It isn't? I see... that's good I suppose. I was in one only a moment ago, how strange... [ she changes back, in that usual flurry of yellow sparkles. ]

( video )

[handfulmagica]

[... Yeah, it might be better if Sayaka didn't tell Mami about the truth behind their Soul Gems. At least, she certainly feels like that's a good choice.]

Well, from what I hear, this place is some sort of dream world. I guess any second that you go to sleep, day dream, or just plain space out, there's a chance you end up here or something.

Anyway, it's good that Madoka talked to you! Has she said anything about where we're staying?

[aevitas]

[OH HEY YOU'RE THAT GIRL THAT GOT HER HEAD---I mean.

There is a Witch peering into the screen, head tilted.]

Cosplay, is it?

[shootermagica]

[ SHHHHHHHHHH

welp- changing back now. in a flurry of yellow sparkles, she's back to her school uniform. ]

Come again?

[aevitas]

Your outfit. The first one.

[shootermagica]

...yes. It was.

[ sure, let's go with that. ]
