Well... I... I didn't expect to be wandering around a desert!

...Wait, but does that mean you are prepared?

[magicalesbian]

Of course I am! I'm not exactly dressed like this for shits and giggles, you know. I'm a magical girl. I've got my magic protecting me out here.

[wildbluevagner]

A... magical girl? [All the eyebrow-raising.] I don't see any pointy hat or broomstick.

[magicalesbian]

That's because I said magical girl not witch! Think, like, Sailor Moon or Cutie Honey. You know, cute little Japanese girls who say some magic words and transform into busty battling babes to kick ass and take names.

[Except maybe not so much in the busty department for Kari.]

[wildbluevagner]

Ohhh... Like Sailor Moon! [He points as if the memory just came to him.] I- I think I caught that one a few times. So you're sure you don't have some kind of... water-fetching magic in there? [He wipes some sweat from his brow while smiling sheepishly.]

[magicalesbian]

Nope. Sorry, but I guess you'll just have to...

[Like Sailor Moon, huh? She's pretty sure Sailor Moon wouldn't let an innocent stranger suffer in a hot desert just to protect her identity.]

[It's not like Kari's been much of a hero in the place to begin with, anyway.]

[...]

[magicalesbian]

[.........]

...actually. You know what? Hold on for a second, I can get you some water. Just... try not to freak out, okay?

[wildbluevagner]

Why would I freak out? It's not gonna come from a toilet or something, is it?

[magicalesbian]

[Wow she is not even dignifying that with a response!!]

[Instead she takes a step back and runs her hand over the pendent on her chest. It flashes brightly with a rainbow light, which then appears to shatter in the air in a burst of sparkles...!]

[magicalesbian]

[--a familiar burst of sparkles, probably. And then one standing there when the sparkles fade should also be rather familiar to Kurt. And unlike when she was standing in front of him as Hoshikyo, she's pretty well equipped with a large backpack, canteen, and other miscellaneous supplies scattered around her person.]

[...of course, this is also the first time she's de-transformed to get supplies since she went off on her own, and all that walking and hiking is catching up with her pretty much instantly. So she also staggers a bit and falls to her knees when she's suddenly met with all that added weight.]

...h-hey.

[wildbluevagner]

[So much familiarity, he's stunned for a moment. But then as she staggers, as tired as he is, he quickly leans over to try to catch/support her.]

Kari? [He manages to free a finger to point inches from his nose, with an 'I told you so' tone.] I knew it!

[magicalesbian]

[His help is appreciated, but she's not going to give any indication that she's grateful for it. Sorry, Kurt.]

Oh, shut up. You didn't know anything until two seconds ago. [HUFF. She settles down on her knees in the sand and takes off her backpack, rustling through it for a second before pulling out a water bottle and offering it up to him. It should still feel cold.]

[wildbluevagner]

No- I mean... before! Back at the village, I totally saw you do your sparkly magic! [But his face brightens up as he grabs the water bottle, clasping it for a moment as he looks at her.] Thank you so much!

[Now he is chugging it down...]

[magicalesbian]

Maybe. But that doesn't mean you knew what you saw. [She is going to stick by this forever ok ok.]

And I know it probably goes without saying, but I'm going to say it anyway: you tell anyone about this, and I'm going to have to kick your ass. I may look all pink and sparkly, but I'm still pretty strong even without magic.

[wildbluevagner]

[He makes a refreshed sigh as he finishes the bottle, but he waves his hands defensively at her.]

Hey, hey, calm down! You'd have to catch me first... Kidding! I'm not about to go find the local tabloids or anything. Your secret's safe with me... uh... Sailor Sparkles.

[magicalesbian]

[Sailor]

[Sparkles]

[........]




[Well it's not like it's inaccurate.]

...it's Hoshikyo. That's my name when I look like that. And... thanks. To be honest, you're now part of a very exclusive of people who actually know my identity, and I still only barely know you. So. It's nothing personal, you know?

[wildbluevagner]

Yeah yeah, I get it. [He laughs it off.] Secret identities are nothing to sneeze at! Hoshikyo, huh... [He takes a moment to pronounce it with that German accent of his, then he tries to lounge stopped in the sand.]

So I'm part of a pretty exclusive club now, huh? Do I a badge, or maybe a decoder ring?

1/2

[magicalesbian]

Nothing as fancy as that I'm afraid. But-- wait, hold on a minute.

[She closes up the backpack again and straps it on her shoulders, heaving it with her as she stands. Then, brushing her hand past her chest in the same place her pendent had been before, there's another flash of light...!]

[magicalesbian]

[Aaah she's Hoshikyo again. The backpack is gone, just like before, and she looks much lighter on her feet than she was a second ago.]

--phew! Sorry, I was getting a little overheated staying like that. I didn't really plan to be myself very much while I was out here, and as ridiculous as this get-up looks, it protects me pretty well.

[wildbluevagner]

[He shakes his head and goes on with some slight sarcasm.]

Oh, well excuse me for holding you back from your magical protection. Are we all better now?

[magicalesbian]

Hey, don't get sassy with me! Without my magic, you'd be all shriveled up out here by now. [Said with her hands on her hips, looking smug.]

What are you planning on doing now? You said you can't just poof back to civilization, right?

[wildbluevagner]

Fine, I'll hold the sass. [He waves it off.] But, uh... that's right. I can only poof two miles at a time, so all I can do is keep going until I hit shore and hope there's a boat around... or see if my journal can finally get reception.
