[Mingle Post] Inception

Who: Everyone! Open to All
What: "Inception" mingle logs
When: any time
Where: dream-built settings: totems, building dreams, projections

Entering someone's dream means entering the most private, secret, and vulnerable part of their mind. It means the chance of influencing them, it means the risk of losing yourself. It means building up fantasies, and it means watching them explode when the dream crumbles.

Hold on to your totem, explore, and protect yourself.

(ooc: This is a post to keep threads together for the Inception prompt. Separate posts or additional subthreads are also fine, and this one is optional. More information on the theme can be found here.)

A barrier. How had she carelessly entered one? She couldn't remember that. Something felt off, something beyond the warped space and the shadowy familiars and the witch she was sure she'd find at the center, like a spider wallowing in the middle of its web. It was a tug at the back of her mind that didn't quite develop itself into a full memory of seeing this before.

Had she? Instead, there was just the unsettling deja vu, and Sayaka. She stayed close to the other puella magi out of prudence; Madoka would be deeply hurt if Sayaka were injured or killed.

"Be on your guard here," she tells Sayaka calmly. "This is not a place for playing around."

"You?!" Jeez! Why was this transfer student always around?! Especially at weird times like these! Okay, so maybe she was some sort of mahou shoujo like Mami, but they weren't the same. This girl didn't have the same ideals as Mami-san!

"Look, we don't need you here, all right? Mami-san is going to be coming here any minute now, so you can just go ahead and leave!"

Unknown to Sayaka, Homura's heart skipped a beat. If she had any doubts about when this was meant to be, they were doubts no longer.

And she couldn't tell Sayaka. In her waking life, she would have; and Sayaka would have been skeptical but willing to listen. But this younger Sayaka, angry at her already, would definitely not believe her.

"It would be better if I finished this witch before Tomoe Mami arrived," was all she could say.

That seemed to set her off even more. Her eyes narrowed as she seemed to puff up with anger and accusation. "Yeah you would think that way, wouldn't you! You just want to get the Grief Seed for yourself! That's all you think about isn't it? Well I'm not going to let it happen! People like you... people like you are the worst!"

And with that, she took off running.

"Are you sure that was the best decision, Sayaka? You know, if the witch finds out that we're already here, there could be trouble."

The gril gritted her teeth together. Yes. This was the best decision. Girls like Akemi, a magical girl that only fought and cared for her own gain...

"You know, if things progress too quickly, you can always make a contract with me."

"I-I know..." she replied, running still deeper into the labyrinth.

For a second, Homura was startled out of her calm. "Wait-!"

Her intentions had been the opposite of Sayaka's guesses. If Mami arrived to this battle, then it would end the way it had countless other times in countless other timelines. And if Sayaka ran ahead like that...

It could very well be Sayaka in Mami's place. And Madoka would be deeply hurt at the disappearance and loss of her friend. Some day, if it wouldn't also have hurt Madoka, Homura would have liked to let Sayaka go so that her reckless ways would stop bringing more trouble.

All she could do right now was to hurry to the witch.

The words were lost to Sayaka, who had sprinted away from the weird magical girl with everything she could muster. They didn't need any help from someone like that!

Pushing through another door just ahead -- she stopped dead in her tracks. The change of scenery was alarming -- suddenly she found herself in a large room adorned with sweets. A high table stood in the middle of the room, a small pink thing sitting in one of the two chairs.

A tea party? But what could...

She ducked behind some of the desserts near-by, crouching, waiting and keeping an eye on the creature until...

"Sayaka!" cried Madoka's familiar voice. And there, alongside her, Mami.

"You made it!"

It was all just like before. There were the giant sweets, there were the naive girls ready to sell their souls, there was the already had - and who was about to lose.

Wait. She was seeing this, when she should be out in the corridors of the labyrinth still, tied up in the binding spell on Mami's ribbons. Then maybe there was that tiny chance-

She decided to join the battle. She ignored the other girls, instead running dangerously close to the witch to get its attention on her instead. She should be able to defeat it - its level wasn't a deterrent to her - and then...!

disgustingly late /shame

Watching Mami fight was mesmerizing. Sayaka found it hard to take her eyes off of the magical girl, except to make sure that Madoka was safe and well also. "You got it!" she cried victoriously jumping a little in her excitement. Which was just about the time she noticed that another one had made the scene... Akemi... Dammit! Was she here to steal the glory?! Mami-san had been working hard all this time!

"Tiro..." Mami's voice brought her back into the fight, she was about to do her signature move! The finishing blow! "Finale!" The gun exploded forcefully, piercing the witch right at its centre. Sayaka's grin was already in the making, ready to congratulate Mami on her victory, but then...

The witch had changed shape... emerging from the body of the first one, a grotesque clown face smiling madly. Sayaka felt her blood run cold. A mouthful of razor sharp teeth opened --

- and Homura was too late. Again. And Madoka... her eyes quickly found Madoka.. she'd be sad again. That brief flicker of hope of changing it all was already put out as those jaws closed around Mami's neck.

That's what Sayaka didn't understand: There was no glory to being a magical girl. There was only this. For her, too: Some day Homura would encounter a witch she couldn't defeat, she was sure of it. And that was fine, if only-

It didn't take much to finish defeating the witch after that. Or to take the grief seed. She turned to face the other two, both of them still from shock.
