There’s nothing in the Tower, that truly is what Erika perceives- it’s just not all of it. Invisible to the naked eye, shadows haunt the Violet Tower’s walls, every nook and cranny of every magical brick of it. They have faces and their faces are as simple as emojis and they talk and, through Omniscience, she can hear them.
And they are fucking annoying.
“OH HI THERE”
“HI GIRAFEE”
“NO LEAVES UP HERE”
“DO YOU PLAY BASKET”
“DO YOU WANNA GET HIGH, WAIT WHY WOULD YOU”
“ARE YOU HIGH CLASS”
…her face comically twisted in disbelief, Erika can’t look away as the shadows verbally dunk on her consistently. And of course, while the Faction Leader is watching her.
◄ <span class="mu-s">Salome</span>: <span class="mu-i">You look weird desuwaaaa! Is something bad happening desuwaaa? We can help desuwaaa! Let me in desuwaaaa!</span>
Erika painfully unglues her eyes from the Violet Tower, then does what to her is a smile.
■-■ <span class="mu-s">Erika</span>: <span class="mu-i">I appreciate the offer. Frau Hyakumantenbara, could you please tell us what you know about the activities of the Toys in your area? Finding their source is vital for dealing with this crisis.</span>
She said so drawing what of her grandpa’s accent she could, which came out decently.
ᕙ <span class="mu-s">Jimena</span>: <span class="mu-i">(Yeah, Salami, humor me for a bit, come here.)</span>
■-■ <span class="mu-s">Erika</span>: <span class="mu-i">(You didn’t say that, you thought it.)</span>
ᕙ <span class="mu-s">Jimena</span>: <span class="mu-i">Oh my fucking god am I really going to be rich?</span>
◄ <span class="mu-s">Salome</span>: <span class="mu-i">Are you going to be rich desuwaaa?! Are you going to follow the path of a proper lady?! I can lead you desuwaaaa, let us follow the desuwa path desuwaaaa!</span>
Erika harms Jimena slightly.
ᕙ <span class="mu-s">Jimena</span>: <span class="mu-i">Y-Yeah, Salami, teach me how to desuwa.</span>
■-■ <span class="mu-s">Erika</span>: <span class="mu-i">I would prefer it VERY MUCH if you gave us information on the Toys instead.</span>
◄ <span class="mu-s">Salome</span>: <span class="mu-i">OK DESUWAAA!</span>
If the shrillness of her voice made the girls of the West behind her squirm, who are already used to her, then there is no need to describe what happened to Jimena and Erika’s eardrums. But she will honor their sacrifice. Drawing again on the power of Omniscience, pretending to look at Salome…
“OH HI IT’S RULERGIRL”
“YOU ARE RIGHT SHES LIKE A RULER”
“TALL AND NUMBERS AND EVERYTHING PERFECT”
…Erika focuses on the Soul Gems around her. With or without the Magical Relay, all Magical Girls are capable of communicating telepathically with each other through their Soul Gem, provided that both communicator and recipient remain at a short distance, but what Erika had learned from the Magicae Encyclopedia was different.
