And with that one remark from the strange creature, your adventure begins. Do you believe that magic and miracles exist, and trust in your wish? And if you do, can you bear the burden of fighting the entities of despair which curse mankind as a magical girl (or, if you are not female, a magical boy)?
If you say yes, go forth, let your Soul Gem shine and unleash your magical power. Be the light which holds back the darkness of entropy. You have nothing more to lose.

STAGES:
1. Both Miracles and Magic Exist: You were just a normal person - or at least, not a magical girl - minding your own business, when you suddenly stumbled into the barrier of the creature known as a Witch. Your eyes are now opened to the world of the magical girls' battle, as you watch it unfold. How will you handle it? Can you even believe it? What will you do with your newfound knowledge?
2. That Sounds Wonderful: You've just been given the news. You have the potential to become a magical girl, and all you have to do is make a wish. Its time to consider what you'd want to wish for, and if that means consulting others so you find the right wish, that's what you're going to do. But whatever you do, be careful what you wish for, because you will get it.
3. There's No Way I'd Regret This: You've made your wish, and you're checking out the results. Its gone exactly as you'd hoped, but what did you wish for? Was it for yourself, or for others? A small wish, or a big wish? What were your reasons for it, and what powers do you now have as a result? The possibilities are as endless and unique as your imagination will allow - so long as your potential is enough.
4. The Magical Girl Experience: You just finished a fight. Be it your first, second, or one hundredth, its a victory for you. Its time to celebrate and reflect, for good or for ill. Also, someone made sure to find and pick up the Grief Seed afterwards, right? Hopefully, you were fighting a Witch that dropped one.
5. If We're Fighting The Same Enemy: You've learned of another magical girl, just like you. Maybe they're interested in forging a bond, or perhaps they are more experienced and wish to mentor you as a new fighter. Or vice versa, or maybe there's a larger team involved. But surely, regardless of the reasons, its quite clear that you are going to become allies. And that suits everyone just fine.
6. Its Because of People Like You: Not every magical girl believes their powers should be used to help others against Witches. Nor are they all kind to other magical girls. Instead, many fight only for their own survival and upkeep, and they see other magical girls as competitors intruding on their hunting grounds. And unfortunately for you, this is the newest enemy you find yourself facing...
7. The Price of a Miracle: Violent, bloody and thankless. It is the only way to describe what has just happened. One moment your comrade, the magical girl, was fighting valiantly, and the next, she is gone. The manner of death it doesn't matter. To the rest of the world, she will be forgotten, another missing person, an unsolved case, her secret life forever buried. Only now has the reality of a magical girl begun to sunk in.
8. How Could You Do That To Us?: Did you not think the name 'soul gem' meant something? After all, no normal human could fight Witches and withstand the onslaught with their soul still connected to them. The truth of your nature of a magical girl is now becoming more horrifying as it becomes clear. And also, the realization that what you wished for was not coming out as you thought it would - its upsetting. And you now question whether the price was worth the payments you will make for the rest of your life.
9. I Was So Stupid...: You've reached it at last. The final, horrifying truth raises itself up in front of you as the cycle completes its inevitable circle. The Witches you have fought, up until now, were once magical girls, just like you. But they fell into despair, cursing the world. So their Soul Gems shattered and became Grief Seeds. And now, you realize, one day this will be your fate, as you fight or watch another fight the twisted remnants of your friend. Or perhaps you are the Witch, or at least the amalgamation of what is left of your conscious soul's final moments. But the end is the same, and can never be helped. After all, a contract is a contract.
10. You Are Not Alone: Anything Madoka-related not on this list, or a combination of the above. |
