[She walks, and sometimes teleports around the new area. Exploring, looking for people she knows. Just trying to get her thoughts in order about the whole situation.]

[Eventually she stops in front of an empty house and sits down on the steps. Using her new powers, she creates a piece of paper and begins to fold it into a crane.]

[It's really eerie, going through familiar streets now in ruin. He leans against one of the empty shop displays, staring out into the distance. There's a chirp, as his MP3 player indicates that the battery is low. As he checks it, he concentrates and produces an extra battery, just close enough to the one inside. A quick change and he's back to the music.]

[Hajime wanders the town, just... looking. It's been a confusing few weeks. Mostly, he's looking for water. Something comforting.]

He had wandered around all of this new town. At some point or another, he had lost his friends - purposefully, perhaps, as he comes to a halt in the undeveloped region on the outskirts of town. There is nothing of interest here... Weeds and insects and the occasional squirrel or lizard crawling its way through the landscape.

Lucas sits and waits. ...He lies back on the ground and gazes upwards at the peacefully shining sun. For a good half-hour, he lies, motionless....

Until the sound of... something in the distance reaches his ears.

He sits up. ...A smile comes to his face as he recognizes the sound as that of barking.

"Boney! Over here!"

From the woods in the distance bursts a beloved friend he hadn't seen in almost three years - Lucas holds his arms out wide as the chocolate lab rushes towards him, barking excitedly. ...He had not, of course, recreated the pet he had owned back home. It would be too cruel to make such an intelligent dog leave behind everything they had gone through, everything their family had suffered. ...But a substitute was close enough.

"I'm going to make our new farm here...! This will be our home now... It's a nice place, isn't it? It's... peaceful."

They sit together quietly until the sun sets.

"Hajime!"

Ukraine sees him and runs over.

"There you are."

[Date's looking through the materials in the hospital and with a sigh, tosses a couple into the trash.] A lot of this stuff is pretty bad. Well, time to get things up to par.

[The first thing he needed to do was complete the facilities. It would probably take all of his power but he stood there and concentrated. Slowly, the half-finished building began to repair itself...]

Minato-kun~!

[ And there's a magical girl running up to you now! Fully transformed, since she is still doing rounds to check up on the town. ]

You're here!

[ Madoka had done her rounds. Checking out the entire town as best that she could. It was eerie in some ways, but refreshing in others... mostly refreshing, actually.

She now stands at one of the streets, facing it with a steady expression. There was no turning back for her at home anyway. She doesn't have a family to return to. Her friends are safe there, and she believes in 'herself' to keep it that way. For now, she takes off her white gloves and makes them disappear in a puff of pink sparkles. ]

Well then. These lawns won't weed themselves! This neighborhood needs a bit of work. [ Madoka Magica takes a deep breath and smiles, then heads to the first house on the street and kneels in the weedy garden. She'll set to work weeding now! ]

[Hey there, best biffle. Look who else came through to the new town and has found a new reserve of strength and enthusiasm!]

Hey... need some help?

[Dainn is hiding under a tree, sitting down among the weeds. he seems...fairly content with life (or as much of a life as a vampire has) and is even humming tunelessly to himself.

for a second he thinks - maybe this was fine, still a copy but not technically dead - and a small smile appears on his face.]

Maybe. What do you think, sisters?

Yuna-chan!

[ Madoka smiles and nods, making a bit of room next to her for Yuna. ]

Sure thing! Two sets of hands are better than one, right?

Yeah! We'll have this place cleared out in no time.

[Yuna grins, rolling up her sleeves and hunching down next to Madoka to get started.]

We should plant some flowers once we get all the weeds pulled.

[Hayate had gotten the rest she needed, and now it was time to set to work. Flipping through the fully restored Tome of Azure Sky, she aimed at the house that they had all staked out as their home. Chanting began as she started to carefully do some precise work. The fun thing about her book was that there was literally thousands of spells in it, and some of them ranged into the most mundane of tasks such as repair. Slowly, the house began to pull itself together.]

Oogh this is tougher than I thought...

"Ukraine!" He runs up and hugs her. "I was exploring!"

[The Lone Wanderer is not alone as she walks through the town. A dog walks next to her as they scout out the area. She also seems to be talking to it.]

Okay Dogmeat, we'll get a place to live set up first. One of these houses should be a good place to set up camp. I'm thinking part vault and part wasteland inside. What do you think?

[Karkat will be wandering around town, scribbling down notes.

His expression looks serious, but somehow much less burdened than he has in the past. He isn't angry or upset, just focused.]

Hey Madoka-chan.

[Another friend who made it. That makes him happy. Though what's with the outfit?]

Are you helping out?

Yeah, we really should! The weather here is so nice, even for winter... and then they'll all spring up again next year to start our new lives off right! We should pick some really pretty ones...

[ After a while, you can has a Kyouko sprinting down the street, still in her puella magi gear. She appears to be searching for something, but after spotting the pink person weeding things, she'll abruptly stop.

Okay that certainly looks like her. It sounds like her. But...what's up with that dress? And that hair? ]

...Madoka?

[Sasami felt all... tingly... inside. Almost sort of like the power she had when she was bonded to the goddess Tsunami. But, that was in the past. She doesn't have that connection anymore and frankly, doesn't want it, either. She'll forge her own path with her new family.

She was currently standing at the house they - "they" being herself, Hayate and her new "sisters" Nozomi and Rin - chose, looking over at its half-completed state. Without a roof, it looked like it could fit in a second floor...

Which she would soon grant. Tiresome, especially for a young kid as her, but the home now sported a second floor similar to the one on the Masaki home back home.]

...WHEW! That... took a lot out of me. I don't want to add more in case mom and the others want their own additions...

["Mom". What an odd thing to think of Hayate now...]

Well, I'm definitely going to try!

[ She claps her hands together, hopeful as ever. ]

I mean, this place needs us, you know?

What kind of flowers can we plant in the winter, though...? I don't really know much about that kind of stuff.

[ Ilsa has been canvassing the town, checking to see how many changes they're going to need to make to the map, when she comes across a building with roughly the same layout as the diner in Mayfield. ]

This is going to take a lot of work... but we are going to need to eat.

[ She starts going over the building carefully, with little flashes of blue lights going off around her. Some are measuring, some seem to be testing the structure or elements of the building. ]

[Large hug back.]

Did you find anything interesting?

Are you okay?

[There's a pair of small hands reaching out to make sure Hayate was steady.]

It's... going to take a lot of work.
