[ Today on the network is a girl who looks like she fits right in with the holiday with her bubblegum colored hair and eyes to match it. What doesn't fit is the apprehensive look in her face to match the tears starting to form. With puffy cheeks red enough to match the bows in her hair, she does appear to have been crying recently. ]

Umm. Hello? Is this call going out to everyone right now? I'm sorry to trouble you, but is it really Valentine's Day?

[ Holding up her free hand to ball into a tiny fist in front of her month, her gaze nervously leaves the phone as she looks around frantically at her surroundings. There's silence for a few seconds, enough to be noticeable, as she mentally steels herself to continue. What strength she may have earned as a Puella Magi was sapped out of her by the unfamiliarity of a new area. ]

You see, it was nearing the end of spring just a few hours before I arrived here so this is a bit of a shock. Did I travel back in time or so much through the future that, um, I'm back to before I was? [ She may have been told certain things, but she was in so much shock that she couldn't retain the information. ] I've already missed school today, but will my records be transferred to a school in this area? I'm in the second year of middle school, um, that would be the eighth grade here... I can't afford to slouch in my studies, so your help would be greatly appreciated.

[ With a gasp, it seems she realized she forgot something important. ] S-Sorry, my name is Madoka Kaname and I'd like to return to Japan as soon as I can. I wouldn't want to worry mama when she's already stressed from work and papa does so much already...

[this is hands down the most embarrassing conversation about her time period change that gemma has ever had congratulations]

Erm, yes, it was odd. But the plumbing in this time is indeed excellent.

[ribbow]

[ Madoka would be so ashamed if she knew. ]

Oh! What about microwaves?

[ She can't help it; she's never met someone from another time period so she must take advantage of it while she can. ]

[psychomancy]

[gemma is too polite to bring it up in public
or ever]

Microwaves were a little more difficult to get the hang of, but certainly worth the effort.

[ribbow]

[ bless u gemma ]

That's so neat! [ Madoka can gush forever over this. ] Oh, if you have any questions for me, I'll do my best to answer them!

[psychomancy]

Thank you, but I've been here for nearly three years now. I think I've gotten the hang of most things.

[ribbow]

Wow, for three whole years! [ That's impressive.

Oh, but then she starts thinking of being away from home for three years. ] That's so sad...

[psychomancy]

[gemma's face shows a little bit of alarm!!]

Oh, don't be sad for me. I never would have gotten to do so many things if I hadn't come here!

[ribbow]

Yeah, but don't you miss being back home?

[ She won't ask about family or anything else personal. ]

[psychomancy]

Some days. But the good outweighs the bad, I think.

[ribbow]

I'll keep that positivity in mind, thank you!

[ She sounds legitimately grateful among everything else. ] Oh, can I have your name? I just realized I didn't get it before now!

[psychomancy]

You're quite welcome.

Ah--I'm Gemma Doyle. It's a pleasure.

[ribbow]

Thanks for speaking with me, Miss Doyle. I'm sorry if my questions were strange. I've just never met anyone like you before.

[psychomancy]

It's alright, I've heard that before. It's only natural to be curious.
